While flying, the protagonist's aircraft is detected by two Forbidden Wizards from the Golden Lion Royal Family. The protagonist uses their system to disappear into a safe space, evading capture. A large search party, including Supreme Wizards and Magic Lords, is deployed but eventually gives up, allowing the protagonist to escape. The protagonist then enters a vast swampland.

Swamp land

Over the vast swamp land, a raven aircraft soared through the sky. I observed the scenery passing by.

[Ding! Solar Berry fruit detected.]

[Ding! The host can consume the fruit to cleanse the poison in the body.]

The system's voice echoed in my mind, stirring my heart. I hadn't expected to hear about such a magical fruit.

Reducing the aircraft's speed, I utilized the system's guidance to pinpoint the location. I then steered the aircraft towards the right.

The aircraft continued its flight over the swamp, venturing deeper into the terrain. My gaze swept across the landscape, noting the presence of trees and other vegetation.

However, one particular spot stood out, featuring a magic tree significantly larger than the rest.

Upon seeing it, I was astonished. Crimson and golden mixed fruits hung from various branches of the colossal tree.

Employing the system's probe function, I identified the fruit as the legendary Solar Berry Fruit. Nevertheless, a significant obstacle presented itself.

This was no ordinary magic tree; it was a magic tree monster.

Once more, I activated the system's probe function.

[Ding! 11th Order Monster is detected.]

The system's announcement resonated in my mind. Taking a calming breath, I materialized outside the aircraft, storing it within the system space.

My attention shifted back to the magic tree, which towered over sixty feet high. I surged forward, reaching the base of the tree in the blink of an eye.

Boom!

The Magic Tree reacted instantly, alarmed. In the very next second, multiple magical roots erupted from the ground, hurtling towards me in rapid succession.

I counted over a hundred tree roots assaulting me, their emanating coercion reaching the level of a Magic Lord. While others might falter under such pressure, I stood firm, withstanding the immense force.

As the roots neared, I shifted my body weight, artfully evading each incoming attack.

Boom!

The sharp roots sliced through the empty air. The magic tree monster, having missed its target, appeared momentarily taken aback.

Possessing human-like intelligence, the tree monster sensed that my strength was comparable to a 10th order monster. Yet, this human wizard had managed to evade its assault.

Without reservation, the monster unleashed its full power. Boom!

A thousand roots burst forth from the earth, converging towards me in an instant, forming a cage-like structure to ensnare me from all sides.

Initially, I managed to dodge each incoming root. I was fully aware of the monster's cunning nature.

With split-second timing, I evaded every attack, the dark roots narrowly missing me as they tore through the air.

As time wore on, I observed that the frequency and speed of the roots' attacks were steadily increasing.

A flicker of surprise crossed my eyes. I had clearly underestimated the monster's capabilities.

It hadn't even exerted its full strength previously.

In the next moment, I initiated a counter-attack with a magic spell.

"Repulsive Force"

I unleashed a powerful magic spell, a wave of repulsive force emanating from my body. This force collided with the onslaught of roots, creating a tremendous impact.

Boom!

A deafening roar echoed as the repulsive force shredded the roots one by one. However, the force field expanded outwards, preventing the tree monster from suffering the full brunt of the attack. Only a portion of the power grazed its body.

Shriek!

The Tree Monster emitted a piercing wail. The assault caused the roots to freeze mid-air, and the monster appeared temporarily paralyzed.

This was the opportune moment to seize the Solar Berry Fruit. I immediately moved towards the magic tree.

Fortunately, the tree hadn't recovered. I swiftly grabbed a couple of the precious berry fruits and stored them in my system space.

Boom!

In the following second, the magic tree monster regained its senses. It retaliated with a different ability.

Swoosh!

The Tree Monster launched sharp spikes from its roots, hundreds of them flying towards me in a swift volley.

In the blink of an eye, they were immensely close.

A glint of coldness flashed in my eyes.

"Gravity Domain"

I cast the magic spell, conjuring a black sphere that materialized instantaneously. The domain expanded, encompassing everything within its influence. The spikes entering the domain were immediately subjected to immense pressure.

Boom!

The sharp spikes crumpled under the crushing force. They shattered into pieces, unable to withstand the coercion within my domain.

The pressure applied disintegrated every single spike within the domain.

With a swift motion, I dispelled the magic spell and retreated rapidly, exiting the vicinity of the magic tree.

Shriek!

The Magic Tree let out another pained cry. Some of its roots, caught within the lingering domain, were also damaged as a consequence.

It couldn't fathom how the human wizard had not only escaped but also managed to pilfer some of its fruits.Unable to relocate, it did not pursue the human mage, allowing them to depart. Meanwhile, I had safely reached my destination. I retrieved the raven aircraft, entered its cockpit, and commenced operations. Swoosh! The aircraft departed, returning me to my prior location before setting a direct course forward. The aircraft soared at maximum velocity, ascending above the clouds, far from the swamp's perils. No treants could extend their roots to ensnare the airborne vessel. After traversing several miles, I activated stealth mode, intending to consume the solar berry fruit under the cover of night. For the time being, my sole focus remained on piloting. The aircraft glided effortlessly, and I relished the invigorating rush of cold wind against my skin.
