Infinite Evolution: My Idle Evolution System

Chapter 460: Take Me With You!



Lang Qingyue had already received permission from Necro through his connection with the Shadow Tree Soldiers. But that wouldn't matter if the people she was trying to help weren't willing to come to begin with.

It was all up to them whether they wanted to follow or not.

The scared girls looked between one another, unsure of what to do. However, when they saw the terrifying tree creatures and the cold-faced woman turn and leave in the opposite direction, one of the scared girls stepped forward.

"P-Please take me with you…!"

It was the one who was nearly raped by Sect Leader Greenflame.

His expression worsened when he saw this girl stand up, but it quickly returned to normal. He was to die anyway; what did any of this even matter?

When the other quivering girls saw one of them run forward, they too mustered up the courage to let their desires be known.

"I-I would like to come as well!"

"M…Me too!"

"M-Me as well!!"

Eventually, all of the half-dressed girls caught up to Lang Qingyue and the three Shadow Tree Soldiers. They were still frightened and in distress, but somewhere deep inside, they felt that this was the right choice—that they'd thank their past selves one day for the decisions they made today.

Lang Qingyue gave no audible response to their tag-along, but where her face couldn't be seen, she smiled ever so slightly. For some reason, this development made her feel like she had a purpose.

A purpose that was only made possible because of Necro.

Lang Qingyue's heart filled with fondness as she recalled all the memories she'd made with an unlikely fellow. A tree that slept more than it talked.

Such an interesting entity.

— Some time later —

"This… This is the backer…!?"

Neither of the Sect Leaders could believe their eyes. The thing before them was a massive tree with no visible aura, yet it possessed a presence that told them they'd die the instant they got out of line.

'But this monstrous tree…' thought Mo Fuchan. 'Is it not the same one I've been receiving reports about?? The presumed cause of the disappearance of numerous disciples!??'

"Sect Leader of the Greenflame Sect—and Sect Leader of the Hundred-eyed Sect."

The tree spoke!?

"You're both so… weak." Necro focused his crystalized eyes on their reactions, sensing a primordial fear welling up within them. "And you're cowardly."

The Sect Leaders were frozen in fear, feeling as if their lives were hanging on by a very thin line.

It was almost as if so long as this horrifying entity willed it, they'd no longer be a part of the world of the living…

"You dare not kowtow when faced with Big Brother!?" Lang Qingyue whacked the backs of the Sect Leaders' legs with the blunt end of her sword, forcing them to their knees. "Trash!"

Noticing the flaring of her emotions, Necro called her over and away from them. He then calmly said to the two Sect Leaders, "You'll be dying today. That won't change—whether it's by my hands or the means of someone else."

Mo Fuchan and Sect Leader Hundred-eyed knew that.

They knew that very well…

But they were still unwilling.

Unwilling to die.

"However, I'll give you two a choice," Necro continued as he whipped over ten thinly-spread branches that emanated with deadly intent. "You can keep your lips sealed tight and I'll make your final moments feel like an eternity in hell—or you can tell me everything you know about a girl called… Yi Yu."

"!!!" "!!!"

Yi Yu!?

What did this menacing sentient tree have to do with her??

"If you choose the second option, I can promise you that I'll end you swiftly and mostly painlessly."

Necro's frigid voice took the Sect Leaders out of their despairing thoughts.

"W-We… have no idea what—"

SWISH!

SPURT!

"DON'T LIE TO ME."

Even Lang Qingyue was a bit taken aback by the blood-curdling attitude of her Big Brother. She looked over at Sect Leader Greenflame, only to see that his left arm had been completely cut off, leaving just a bloody stump at the base.

Then the pain finally registered for Mo Fuchan.

"Ahhhh!!!" His eyes filled with horror as he painfully thought back on Necro's attack, only to realize that he hadn't even seen the tree move.

"Gah!! I-It fucking hurts!!!" Mo Fuchan practically squealed, sounding like a freakish, blood-mixed whistle through the lack of teeth in his oral cavity.

"Now I won't repeat myself again, so listen extremely closely." Necro wrapped his divided branches around the Sect Leaders. "All of the Disciples and Elders in both your Sects have already been wholly slaughtered by my command. This means you have two options. One: I make you wish you were dead through any means necessary. Or two: you tell me what I want to know and I'll give you a relatively painless death so you can join them in the afterlife."

"So what will it be?"

"What choice will you choose…?"

The Sect Leaders' teeth were chattering. They knew without a doubt in their minds that the fate that awaited them if they were to keep quiet would be far worse than any swift death.

"W-We… We'll tell you everything you want to know…"

Necro's killing intent temporarily stalled as he retracted most of his branches and roots. He then allowed the Sect Leaders to answer each and every one of his questions, starting with the Demon Beast Horde that the Devastation Woods got its name from.

The more he heard, the worse Necro's expression became. It reached a point where his every word was now laced with a suffocating coldness that filled the Sect Leaders with an unparalleled sense of dread.

"...So you were afraid that Yi Yu would take the position of Sect Leader," Necro apathetically uttered as he summarized. "For this reason and her previous involvement in the spiritual herb that fell from the heavens above, you plotted to kill her. You artificially called forth a Demon Beast Stampede to attack the area where Yi Yu lived, which ultimately… led to her death."

"Y-Yes…"

"But that's not all you did, is it?"

"!!!" "!!!"
