The Royal Military Academy's Impostor Owns a Dungeon [BL] novel Chapter 334

Chapter 334: Rush

With everyone back in formation, they executed the next phase of their plan.

Like before, they kited the deathworms—but this time, spraying several with the shimmering anti-spore liquid.

While obviously they couldn’t coat every inch, especially not the parts still underground, it wasn’t necessary.

The goal wasn’t to kill the tree, but to distract it—long enough for them to slip into the labyrinth.

And it worked.

But not before witnessing what it meant to have such forces duke it out.

The battle was nothing short of apocalyptic. And Luca thought that they were so lucky they didn’t attempt to fight against the tree like this.

It’s not that it was impossible to win.

But at what cost?

And how would they be able to fight what’s in the labyrinth when the gate alone would take most of their resources?

They watched in combined horror and awe as the liquid-soaked deathworms breached the edge of the grasslands, instantly attracting the tree’s ire.

Thick, living roots erupted from the ground, thrashing like giant whips, trying to seize and destroy the new invaders.

One deathworm met the roots head-on, spiraling upward like a coiled spring and latching its fanged maw onto a twisting root.

Ollie recoiled every time it happened and clutched Kyle’s top tighter as the adjutant asked him if he still wanted something to watch.

But the mop was courageous. Provided he was going to stay inside like this.

Then he gasped and almost plastered his face against the viewing panel as another worm tunneled beneath, only to burst out to rip at the gnarled understructure of the great tree’s defenses.

For a moment, the entire world seemed to tilt under the force of the clash—apex predators against apex flora.

The ground shuddered and cracked.

Roots lashed and coiled, trying to entangle the worms.

But the worms fought viciously—striking, burrowing, and latching onto anything that moved.

From their vantage point, it was like watching two behemoth forces wrestle for dominance, land and sky splintering under the chaos.

And they would’ve been a part of it had they not been hovering with their mechas.

Duchess Amelia realized that they would’ve likely died if they didn’t have mechas for this.

Although they might have not needed to see this if she had just managed to kill that boss before these guys got sucked in, but that was a what if.

This was their current reality.

And right now they were biding for the right moment.

Despite the worms’ ferocity, the tree felt like an ancient monster in its own right.

Its roots shifted, adapted, and even corroded the sprayed deathworms faster than expected.

The worms fought valiantly, but they were starting to fall. And maybe it was also because they only allowed for a handful of worms to leave the barren lands in case it ended up spiraling out of their control.

So, one by one, they buckled, broke, or burrowed away under the relentless assault of the tree’s defenses.

But that was fine.

They weren’t going out to kill this tree.

They were out here to create a moment.

And now they had it.

They noticed it earlier, the tree’s increased defense system had a pattern.

"Now!" Duchess Amelia’s voice cracked over the comms. _{freeweɓnovel.cøm}
