Things had been going so well, lately.

　　-1828 Health. Beholder`s Eye drains -1 Mana.

　　Honestly, I felt I`d really gotten stronger.

　　And then of course&

　　This world just lays on the beatdown.

　　I mean, who creates a room with no mana in it??

　　-1828 Health. Beholder`s Eye drains -10 Mana.

　　That right there is sadistic.

　　Rustle.

　　Utter lies. My partner in crime isn`t even able to admit she had anything to do with this, silly future Dryad.

　　"Mr. Gatewood, I don`t think we can hold out for long. It`s eating the mana we throw at it too now." Tevril said. She`s the newest addition to Team Tree. It took approximately five years to learn Common Beast Tongue, probably because the language is so twisted.

　　It definitely was not because I am an idiot.

　　Nope.

　　-1828 Health. Beholder`s Eye drains -100 Mana.

　　&ha&Ha&HA.Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

　　Haaaaaaah&thank god Trees don`t feel pain like humans due, I`d probably be dead of shock by now otherwise.

　　I really didn`t want to try this. It`s not really an attack, more of a Final Strike type move...

　　-1828 Health. Beholder`s Eye drains -1000 Mana.

　　Experimenting with things outside my body is fine. Something goes wrong there, we can likely survive.

　　-5869 Health from Critical Strike. Beholder`s Eye nullifies White Mana Flameshield.

　　That hurt dammit, alright, I`ve been kind.

　　I`ve been generous.

　　Now I`m just really pissed off.

　　Activate, Expiriment #91!

　　-10000 mana, White Mana Flame has merged with Truefire Domain. White Mana Domain created.

　　 Please...let this work.

　　-1819 Health. Status: Burning. Near Death.

　　...Now would be a good time...

　　Growth has activated consuming White Mana Domain.

　　 Yes!

　　Inherent Mana Manipulation has twisted effects of Growth.

　　 YES!

　　Skill: Mana Augmentation gained!

　　Fire is my Domain.

　　Flame my Calling.

　　Blood Burn.

　　There is no time to hesitate now. No time to watch the health lowering from my desperate gamble.

　　I overload the mana to explode Artifact#1 behind me to provide propulsion and launch myself at the enemy.

　　Bzzzzzzzt!

　　Hissssssssssss!

　　BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

　　Level UP!

　　Thank god that worked.

　　Level UP!

　　I don`t feel so hot, now heh. Time to take a short nap. I`m beat. I`m also on fire, but hey, can`t have everything.

　　"Gah, turn of the flames or I can`t help heal! Old man! Hey! OLD MAN!" Tevril shouted, waving her hands at me.

　　Bleh. Such a noisy woman. Why did I think it was good to have a second companion again?

　　"Smother" Tevril spoke, her words embodying a Spell of Air. She`s grown much stronger the last few years.

　　Ooooh, that feels nice, at least I`m not on fire now, good thing I have a second companion for this stuff!

　　I don`t think we can recover from this though. Trees don`t feel pain like humans, but when 70% of your body is on fire, it still hurts baaaaaaaad.

　　 &Ruuuuuussssssssttttttlllllllle.

　　Yeah, sure, I`ll leave the rest to you, sleeptime now.
