Chapter 2102: Rebuilding Her Army I
Adrian returned to the main world and immediately found a reaction from the shard that he was given. It was a momentary reaction, but it was enough for him to be given a general direction. He already made sure that everything inside of his territory is good to go. The rewards for the territory defense have been given and many players were now registered as citizens. He was just waiting for money to pile up so that he could upgrade his territory once more.
"Let us find this unknown stone of power before the enemy does." Adrian stated as he vanished from his location.

In a certain bandit hideout...
The number of bandits here was not a lot but the level of fighting power they have is good enough to deal with the monsters near the area. This area was none other than a level 200 forest swamp area and is one of the most toxic swamps in the central continent. This place is rarely visited as only those with powerful toxic resistances could enter the place. This was also the perfect place to raise the Grafts that the Black Fairy Mavros will emerge from. The Elder Dryad Dorn chose this place as the depths could never be explored by ordinary mortals. It was also a place where there is some cursed energy lingering about. Cursed energy is needed to make the Grafts bloom once it is attached to a tree. The Elder Dryad Dorn even hunted down monsters that were affected by curses and fed it to the tree where the Grafts was transplanted.
Now that the Black Fairy Mavros has been revived, the other Grafts that survived needed to be used to revive her army. The number of Grafts would not be able to grow since there are no special trees in the area but there is a forbidden way of reviving them. The Black Fairy Mavros along with the Elder Dryad Dorn attacked the bandit hideout and capture every one of them alive.
The bandits put up a fight, but they could not defeat the powerful Elder Dryad Dorn as she has been alive for a long time. Beings that have survived for a long time are either extremely powerful or getting weak, but she was the former. The Elder Dryad Dorn is at the same power level as the Elder Dryad Danaya because they have been born at about the same time. All of the bandits were captured by the Elder Dryad Dorn using her thorny vines.
There were even some captives inside of the bandit hideout and even they were not spared. All of the captives were either tortured or played around for pleasure by some bandits. The captives already lost their minds due to the continuous pain they were subjected to. They even praised the Elder Dryad Dorn as a goddess when she captured and hurt some of the bandits. "Are you sure we can use them, my queen? They are now defective humans." The Elder Dryad Dorn stated as she looked at the captives that had their minds already broken from trauma.
"They are perfect because they will offer least resistance. They might even create a new breed should their insanity fuse with the Grafts that I am going to plant inside of them. It is actually perfect that there are women here as compatibility is necessary even in using the Grafts." The Black Fairy Mavros stated as she looked at every human in the hideout as pawns for her army.
"Let us start with a Leshy. Take one of the bandits and place him here." The Black Fairy Mavros stated as she waved her hand to create a cursed magic circle.
The bandit struggled as he wanted to escape the clutches of the assailants, but he could not. He also got pricked by these thorny vines that slowly paralyzed the body as he could start to feel the lost of sense. He could feel his body starting to numb down and he will be numb all over in an hour. This was the toxin that is present in the body of the Elder Dryad Dorn as she cultivated this so that she can be useful to the Black Fairy Mavros.
Elder Dryad Dorn did not care of what the humans think as she only cares for the thoughts of the Black Fairy Mavros. She was her idol and the one who saved her as a child. She basically has bind devotion towards the Black Fairy Mavros. She will seriously offer her life should the queen she serves command it. She placed the bandit in the magic circle, and it instantly activated.
The body of the bandit suddenly started to stand upright as his feet slowly turned into roots as his body started to become a tree. The bandit screamed out loud, but his pitiful wails only terrified the other bandits as they saw what was happening to him. In just under ten minutes, half the body of the bandit has already been turned into a tree. This process was not painless as well because it felt like every nerve of his body was getting pulled.
"Perfect! The spell worked even though it only transformed him into half a tree, but the good thing is that he remained alive." The Black Fairy Mavros stated with great joy as she relished the fact that she succeeded despite not being in her prime.
"As expected of my queen. You will never fail." The Elder Dryad Dorn stated as she praised the Black Fairy Mavros excessively.
"Now that the first part is done, let us proceed with the second part." The Black Fairy Mavros stated as she took a Grafts of a Leshy and infused with some unknown spell.
The Grafts that looked like a branch suddenly became alive as it grew eyes and roots that wriggled like tentacles. The Black Fairy Mavros slowly placed this Cursed Grafts into the chest of the cursed bandit. Screams of pain and terror were released once more but it was even
louder than before. The bandit felt that his soul itself was getting devoured.
"Such bliss!" The Black Fairy Mavros stated as she smiled sinisterly.
