The thorns of the Giant Thorny Flower smashed Rezen's earthen wall before proceeding to land on his [Borg]
Since the Gian Thorny Flower was not specifically targeting him, Rezen was able to barely protect himself from the attack of this magic beast without the Flower of Protection activating on its own
However, even though he protected himself, this Giant Thorny Power is still above him in terms of power and the only thing he could do was run away
His defensive magic was nullified and without a rest, he waved his wand and the flowers nearby exploded
Of course, the explosion was far from being strong as Rezen was not relying on this attack to defeat the enemy. All he wants to do is to buy himself some time and after that, he pointed his wand at himself before his entire body was blessed by the wind
His speed increases as he ran as fast as he could while massaging his temple with his left hand
Although he used simple magic except for [Borg], even though he is a Spirit Mage, he is only at the 1st cycle. Using magic in quick succession still took some burden on his soul, hence, the slight headache
The only fortunate thing is that the Giant Thorny Flower was not exactly fast and Rezen's life was not in immediate danger
However, the thorns on its tentacle-like arms regrew fast and since the explosion of the flowers didn't hurt it much, it continued chasing Rezen while attacking him with its thorns
Rezen once again faced the threats from the thorns, he momentarily halted and pointed his wand behind him
His power gathered at the tip of his wand as he shot multiple beams of sun energies that clashed against the thorns before waving his wand again to issue another attack
This time, frost was released by his wand that formed ice on the Giant Thorny Flower's roots
Since Rezen brought his Mystic Gems with him into this realm, although he is not a genius, those gems still allowed him to use the kind of magic they represented with the same level of ease
Other mages might use one or two elements that they are most adept with but Rezen has more than ten elements that he has the same level of control, giving him more flexibility
After freezing the roots of the Gian Thorny Flower, Rezen immediately started running again since he knew that his magic would not last long
As he expected, the Giant Thorny Flower shook off its roots and the ice started to shatter. The ice only delayed it for a moment and Rezen unconsciously turned his head behind him
Is his fate really to be saved by the Bellmond Valley management after the Flower of Protection was activated?
He just consumed a Fortune Fruit, why is it that instead of being lucky, he faced this kind of unfortunate situation?
Rezen was relying on the luck brought by the Fortune Fruit but not only did it not work, it might have even brought him misfortune
The thoughts inside his head distracted him and Rezen didn't notice the tree in front of him in time
Since he doesn't have the time to dodge, he could only use his body to destroy it and he braced himself
However, as soon as his skin touches the tree, instead of meeting physical resistance as usual, Rezen felt nothing. In fact, he didn't even crash on the said tree but he actually entered it as if the tree don't have any physical body
——
When Rezen's senses returned to him, he found himself surrounded by some sort of liquid and he immediately held his breath to prevent himself from suffocating
He was originally in a flowery valley, where does such a large body of liquid come from especially when Rezen's most recent memory is him 'crashing' on a tree?
"Scanning the surroundings..."
Ivy's magnetic voice entered Rezen's ears and he waited to learn just what kind of place he entered without him knowing
"Upon scanning, it is found out that Master is inside the Idreaf Tree. The Idreaf Tree on the outside looks like an ordinary tree and even the current farm's capabilities cannot sense it before Master accidentally entered it"
"The inside of the tree has a separate place filled with Idreaf Essence. The Idreaf Essence could be absorbed by mages, elevating their overall natural talent in almost every aspect. It is a rare resource that does not target and boosted a specific talent but gave an overall increase in talent. As such, the boost in talent is lower compared to other rare resources at the same level as it"
Upon hearing that, Rezen's eyes lit up. This is exactly the kind of resource that he badly needed!
Who would have thought that after being chased by the Giant Thorny Flower, Rezen would accidentally enter the Idreaf Tree?
Wait... accident?
Rezen's eyes trembled as he understood what happened. It's not that he became unlucky after consuming the Fortune Fruit, he was attacked and chased by the Giant Thorny Flower for this chance to enter the Idreaf Tree!
It is a coincidence that was influenced by the fortune aura!
"But... isn't the essence of the Idreaf Tree really rare? It is the kind of resource that even people with money cannot buy. The fortune aura of the flower bud is not a lot and is only above Stone Head's, how come that I actually encountered such a great treasure?"
The talent boost of the Idreaf Essence is mediocre but that is compared to treasures at the same level as it. That doesn't mean that the boost itself was mediocre
At the very least, Rezen would have the talent to reach the high cycle of the Junior Rank since the quality of this Edreaf Tree does not reach the Senior of Great Rank
At most, Rezen expected to encounter resources that could aid him to reach a mid-level cycle of the Junior Rank with the fortune aura that he got. He didn't expect that he would find resources that will give him enough talent to become a high-cycle Junior Mage
"That is because fortune aura does not create miracles from scratch. It works by influencing the variables around the heavens' blessed. Master roughly used the fortune aura to find something that could increase your talent. Compared to the heavens' blessed that is passively affected by the fortune aura in their day-to-day life, Master used all the fortune aura in one go for only one specific thing"
"If there is nothing to influence nearby, the fortune aura might not work. But if it does succeed in influencing variables, it could only make use of the variables available. Since the Bellmond Valley is constantly being stripped of its resources, there aren't many great treasures of heaven and earth hidden inside. The Edreaf Tree might be the only thing that could achieve what Master wants"
With Ivy's explanation, Rezen understood the fortune aura better. It really is luck. Even though the fortune aura is not high level, it still managed to influence Rezen to enter the Edreaf Tree
Not to mention, Rezen is using the fortune aura in one go compared to the heavens' blessed that could only passively wait for the blessings without knowing what kind of blessing they would receive
As Rezen finally found something that could increase his talent greatly, he focused his senses on his surroundings
At first, he held his breath since he was submerged in liquid. But he found out that although he is surrounded by liquid, he could actually breathe with no worries
Rezen didn't waste any time increasing his talent and he closes his eyes as he started absorbing the essence
The process was similar to meditating. However, instead of attracting the free mana particles in the air, what Rezen controlled was the Edreaf Essence that entered his body through his pores
One drop after another was being absorbed by Rezen and with it comes a great sense of comfort
Fortunately, this process was not painful compared to using other resources. In fact, it was a very comfortable process
Rezen can sense himself being reborn. From a trash that is barely making any progress after reaching the 1st cycle of Junior Rank, his talent slowly improving
It was great that no one aside from him had noticed the existence of the Edreaf Tree that he only entered all thanks to the influence of the fortune aura
Now that Rezen thinks of it, he should actually be thanking that Flower Bud that has the chance to blossom into a Treasure Flower thanks to the influence of its fortune aura
However, while that flower bud still has the chance to become a Treasure Flower, without its fortune aura, the chances would be far lower than before
After all, it might have become a flower bud with the chance to become a Treasure Flower all thanks to its fortune aura
