The Reincarnation of the Kingmaker

Chapter 41: The Unfortunate Earth Worm

It didn't take long for Kayn to spot the Nature's Trap over the distance in front of him. The Nature's Trap was shining a bright green light, illuminating the surrounding trees with a light green hue, causing the leaves to shine even brighter and the grass to turn more vibrant.

"Beautiful as always," Kayn can't help but appreciate the beauty in front of him.

Even though the Nature's Trap is a very dangerous pitfall, he can't deny the fact that it does make things around it look very beautiful and breathtaking. Not to mention, the Nature's Trap itself also looks stunning to stare at.

If he wasn't in such a perilous situation right now, he'd definitely stop for a moment to take a picture of the scene.

"They did say that majority of beautiful things on Earth can destroy or kill you. The Nature's Trap is the best example of that saying,"

Regardless of how beautiful the Nature's Trap is, there's no denying that it can kill anyone that falls into it.

Don't let its beauty fool you.

Shaking his head, Kayn turned his focus back to what he was planning on doing — to eliminate the Rock Ants and the Earth Worm.

Since both the Rock Ants and the Earth Worm's weakness is nature element, the Nature's Trap is naturally a fatal weapon to use against them.

However, the main problem is how he can take advantage of it.

Evidently, the Rock Ants and the Earth Worm aren't stupid enough not to avoid the Nature's Trap, especially after they sense the dangerous mana coming out from it. There's no doubt in his mind that once they do, they would stay as far away as they possibly could from it.

"But what if I force them to get close to it?" Kayn smiled.

In the next moment, Kayn suddenly made a right turn. As expected, the Flame Gorilla and the other monsters didn't hesitate to follow after him. And because he avoided getting close to the Nature's Trap, both the Rock Ants and Earth Worm made a relief look on their respective faces. It was as if they are expressing how glad they are.

Too bad for them though…

In the next moment, Kayn swung his sword to a nearby tree to his right, instantly blocking the path to the right.

After doing so, he dashed straight to the left, slightly getting closer to the location of the Nature's Trap.

Similar to what he did just now, he swung his sword once again to block the path to go right. This time, he made sure to swing multiple times in order to cut as many trees as possible so that the Rock Ants and Earth Worm would have trouble trying to go to their desired path even if they possess an ability or Gifts that will allow them to destroy or ignore the blocking trees.

Moreover, he made sure that the Flame Gorilla won't try to smash its body toward the blocking tree again by immediately going in another direction away from where the tree is blocking. This made the Flame Gorilla change the direction of pursuit.

After he did so, he cut another group of trees to block the path to the right before immediately going to the left.

He repeated this step over and over again until eventually, he was really close to the Nature's Trap. He was so close that his distance away from the Nature's Trap was merely ten or so meters.

"This should be enough," Kayn finally decided to stop with the first step in his plan. "Now, let's go with the next step,"

As soon as he said that, Kayn suddenly made a one-eighty degrees U-turn, as he then started running back to where he came from.

The reason he did so is so that he can further force the Rock Ants and Earth Worm to get closer to the Nature's Trap. With his sudden U-turn, they are now positioned at the same distance as him from the Nature's Trap — merely ten or so meters.

As Kayn continued to run, he would cut a few trees along the way to act as blockage so that the Rock Ants and Earth Worm won't try to increase their distance away from the Nature's Trap.

And as planned, because of the blocking tree every now and then, the Rock Ants and Earth Worm have no other choice but to follow the same path as him.

"Now, for the second to the last step,"

While continuing to run, he unexpectedly cut a few trees in front of him while making sure that they would fall in front of the Flame Gorilla and the other monsters.

Just like the last time, the Flame Gorilla didn't hesitate to smash its body toward the trees blocking its path, instantly blasting them into pieces and reducing some portions of them into mere dust.

But upon reaching the end of the dozens of trees blocking their way, the Flame Gorilla immediately felt confused as it had lost sight of where Kayn went.

The Flame Gorilla stopped in his tracks, causing the other monsters behind it to similarly stop behind it. This in turn caused the latter group to pause right at the very center of the trunks of the trees that the Flame Gorilla had smashed and trapped them in between.

As it had lost sight of where Kayn had gone, the Flame Gorilla right away decided to try and sense the direction of where the dense amount of mana coming from the Entry Crystal is currently at.

Kayn might be able to fool the Flame Gorilla's eyes, but he can never fool its senses. And with its numerous experiences in life, it is now smart enough to know that the other way to find Kayn's location is to sense the location of the Entry Crystal as it is sure that he would continue to bring it along with him.

Too bad for the Flame Gorilla, because Kayn already anticipated something like that to happen. And furthermore, he doesn't underestimate any of his opponents, so he included such a variable in his plan.

As soon as it senses where Kayn was, the Flame Gorilla hastily made a U-turn, only to discover that the other monsters are blocking its path. With no other choice, it runs to the right hoping to catch up behind Kayn. But alas, Kayn cut dozens more of trees to delay the Flame Gorilla's path.

While the Flame Gorilla was busy trying to smash its way through the dozens of trees blocking its path, Kayn, on the other hand, has already caught up with his target — the Earth Worm, since it was the farthest to the back, making it the perfect monster to eliminate first. It was so far that it still hasn't caught up to the other monsters currently stuck in between the trunks of the trees.

Seeing his target, Kayn cut a tree to his left, causing it to fall in front and block the way of the Earth Worm.

This caused the Earth Worm to abruptly stop on its track as it felt confused at what is happening. Obviously, since it was dead last, it still isn't aware of what is the situation in front of it. Its focus was only on trying to catch up with the other monsters.

Fortunately for the Earth Worm, its Gift could solve the problem on his way.

Gathering earth mana in its surrounding, the Earth Worm soon after charged towards the tree blocking its path.

However, the Earth Worm instantly became shocked as it noticed another tree falling toward it. Comparing its speed and the speed of the falling tree, the Earth Worm quickly realized that it would get smashed if it doesn't stop. Although it won't kill it, it would still certainly harm it. So, it made a swift decision to stop charging to avoid the falling tree.

Because the earth mana gathered by the Earth Worm wasn't fully discharged, it has no choice but to receive a painful backlash to its body, causing it to weaken a bit.

But what the Earth Worm didn't know was that Kayn was actually on top of the falling tree. And everything that happened to the Earth Worm was all part of his plan.

While the Earth Worm was suffering from the backlash, Kayn took advantage of the opportunity to attack it.

Kayn jumped from the top of the tree as he prepared to swing his sword toward the Earth Worm.

The Earth Worm, being completely oblivious to Kayn's presence as it still hasn't pulled itself together from receiving the painful backlash, was unable to put up a guard to defend itself from Kayn's attack.

With a swing from Kayn's sword, a deep wound was created on the top of the head of the Earth Worm.

The Earth Worm screamed out in pain upon receiving the deep wound. It was only at this moment that it finally realized that its life is in great danger. It tried to turn its head to find Kayn, but it soon realized that he is long already gone after swinging his sword. Though it soon found where he could be right now as it felt another sting to its body.

Once more, the Earth Worm screamed out in pain. But once again, it was unable to find Kayn when it looked at where its new wound is. And similar to what happened just now, it felt another painful cut to another part of its body.

This situation continued to repeat over and over again…

Because of what Kayn was doing, the Earth Worm's body continued to wiggle around wildly, causing its wound to become even worse.

Furthermore, unbeknownst to the Earth Worm, as it continued to wiggle around wildly, its body was actually getting closer and closer to the Nature's Trap.

And because of the pain that the Earth Worm would continuously feel in every passing second, it didn't notice the nature mana on its surrounding slowly getting denser and denser.

Before it could realize what is exactly going on, the Earth Worm shockingly felt a tingling sensation on the left side of its body. That tingling situation became worse and worse and eventually, it started feeling like it was being cut by countless blades.

Following that, the Earth Worm turned to its left side, feeling confident that this time it would find Kayn. However, to its horror, it found itself slowly sinking into the Nature's Trap.

With that discovery, the Earth Worm wiggle its body even wilder than before, hoping to get itself out of the Nature's Trap and save its life. Unfortunately, because the Nature's Trap is still quicksand, the more it moves, the more its body was sinking into the Nature's Trap.

Realizing this, the Earth Worm screamed loudly in pain. Though, it still didn't give up. It wanted to live! It still has many things it wanted to do in life! And it also wanted to make Kayn pay for what he did to it!

Unluckily for the Earth Worm, Kayn obviously won't let that happen.

While the Earth Worm was trying to get itself out of the Nature's Trap, Kayn cut another tree and jumped on top of it as he then went along with the tree as it fell close to the Earth Worm.

Seeing the tree falling nearby it, the Earth Worm instantly thought that perhaps the other monsters are trying to help it. But it soon saw the painful reality as it noticed Kayn approaching it with his sword ready to swing toward it at any time. Closing its eyes and opening them once again, it saw from its peripheral vision the other monsters still struggling to get themselves out from being trapped at the center of the trunks. On the other hand, its last remaining hope, the Flame Gorilla, was still preoccupied with destroying the trees blocking its way.

With that realization, the Earth Worm lost all hope and finally decided to stop struggling and succumb to its fate.
