101: Excessive tree guard

“In terms of results…”

“Exactly.”

“But the process will be very bloody.”

Hearing Joa’s answer, Stark thought of the scene where the man named Madara dismembered that monster.

“Phew! I understand, count me in.”

Upon hearing this, Joa showed a slight smile.

‘This guy Stark…’

‘If I take him to other Worlds later, he’ll surely be completely subdued.’

“The danger level of this World is not something you can currently interfere with. After you go back, just continue to be your Iron Man with peace of mind.”

“As for conquering… saving this World, I have my own plans.”

With that, Joa didn't give Stark another chance to speak, and immediately flew towards Limgrave with his people.

Seeing this, Stark took a deep breath and reluctantly followed.

On the way to Limgrave.

Joa turned to look at Madara Uchiha.

“How does it feel? The strength of the life in this World.”

“Heh, compared to Hashirama, one is in the heavens, the other is in the Earth.”

Seeing the confident smile on Madara’s face, and Hashirama Senju, who was laughing heartily upon hearing Madara’s praise.

Joa almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.

‘Madara, this Hashirama fan, even after experiencing other Worlds and powers from different systems, still has to compare them to Hashirama?’

“I advise you not to be careless. That Grafted Noble is only slightly stronger than an ordinary person in this World.”

“If he couldn’t satisfy you, then at our destination, there’s a good opponent who can give you a proper fight.”

“At that time, you might have to put in some effort.”

The opponent Joa spoke of was the Great Tree Guardian, whom he initially thought was a small fry when he first played the game before transmigration.

However, he died countless times and spent over an hour before successfully defeating it.

The Great Tree Guardian is a heavily armored knight serving the Golden Tree, the living bulwark of the Golden Tree.

He wears armor made of gold, with a golden halberd in his right hand and a Golden Tree Greatshield in his left, blocking anyone who wishes to see the elden ring.

Hearing Joa’s words, Madara merely smiled confidently, not taking it to heart at all.

However…

When they arrived in Limgrave, near the Church of Elle, on the plains outside the Stranded Graveyard.

Madara Uchiha gradually put away the smile on his face.

“There seems to be some kind of power on that guy…”

Gazing at the Great Tree Guardian patrolling below, Joa teased.

“Feeling the pressure?”

“Hmph! Just this level…”

Facing Joa’s teasing, Madara, without another word, directly swooped down towards the Great Tree Guardian below, while raising his hand to grasp the Uchiha fan on his back.

With his other hand, he formed a single hand seal, condensing a large amount of chakra within his body.

‘Wood Dragon Jutsu!’

A rumbling sound echoed.

The ground not far in front of the patrolling Great Tree Guardian suddenly rose.

Immediately after, a ferocious Wood Dragon burst out of the ground, rapidly tearing and coiling towards him.

Seeing this, the Great Tree Guardian reacted extremely quickly, raising the golden halberd in his hand, while continuously chanting incantations.

Golden Tree Vow, increasing his own damage and reducing received damage.

Golden Tree Blessing, enhancing his resistance to various types of elemental damage.

After consecutively releasing two incantations, the Wood Dragon was already in front of him.

Gripping the golden halberd tightly, the Great Tree Guardian took a deep breath, and a magic circle emerged from behind him.

After a brief charge of a few breaths, accompanied by a roar, a massive Impact wave, composed of golden light, erupted from in front of the Great Tree Guardian.

Far-off Rage, an offensive incantation.

The Impact wave flew towards the Wood Dragon, striking the head of the Wood Dragon created by Madara’s chakra directly.

Crack! Crack, crack, crack!

The moment the two intersected, the Wood Dragon only lasted for less than a few seconds before it began to crumble inch by inch.

Soon, the entire Wood Dragon was blasted into splinters by the golden Impact wave.

And the Impact wave, still having residual power, flew forward for a considerable distance before gradually dissipating into specks of golden light.

This unexpected scene made Madara, who had a look of surprise on his face, come to an abrupt halt in mid-air.

“Was that Far-off Rage?”

Joa, also slightly shocked, murmured to himself.

He hadn't expected the Golden Tree's incantations to be so powerful.

In the game, Far-off Rage certainly didn't have this much power.

It made sense, a game is just a game; it needs to consider the performance of the player's computer and cannot truly create a complete World.

The various skill animations, effects, and maps in the game were certainly simplified and scaled down as much as possible.

The actual area of the elden ring World is at least several times, even more than a dozen times, larger than Earth.

Upon realizing this, Joa became even more cautious.

He turned to look at Hashirama Senju.

“You go too.”

“Yes! Your Highness!”

Looking at the backs of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha.

Joa fell into thought.

Although the stronger the elden ring World, the more benefits he would gain after conquering it.

But, I mean, being strong is fine, no problem, but it shouldn't be too overpowered, right?

If he couldn't win even with overwhelming numbers, then that would be quite the spectacle.

Taking a deep breath, he suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his mind.

Joa focused his attention on the battle below.

After Hashirama flew to Madara’s side.

The two nodded solemnly, then jointly launched a probing attack towards the Great Tree Guardian below, gathering intelligence on the enemy.

Wind, Fire, Water, Earth, Lightning—various elemental ninjutsu were consecutively released.

They even used heat rays.

But no matter what kind of ranged attack it was, in front of the Great Tree Guardian’s Golden Tree Greatshield and Golden Retaliation.

They were all transformed into golden magical projectiles and parried back.

Dodging the parried magic.

Madara and Hashirama gave up on probing with ninjutsu and swooped down towards the Great Tree Guardian.

But as soon as the two approached.

The Great Tree Guardian unleashed Golden Rage.

Powerful energy burst forth violently in all directions, centered on the Great Tree Guardian.

Caught off guard, Hashirama Senju was immediately shaken and sent flying backward.

As for Madara Uchiha, he raised his fan and shouted loudly.

“Uchiha Reflection!”

“Cough! Cough, cough! This guy! This power!”

Steadying himself, Hashirama in mid-air looked at Madara, who was holding up his fan and enduring the Impact of Golden Rage, and reminded him loudly.

“Be careful! Madara!”

“That attack called incantation is even stronger than a Tailed Beast Ball!”

In response, Madara, gritting his teeth and holding up his fan, enduring Golden Rage, felt it even more deeply than Hashirama.

His Uchiha Reflection could even deflect a Tailed Beast Ball, yet it couldn't deflect this so-called incantation.

Giving up the idea of deflecting the opponent's attack, Madara quickly retreated to Hashirama’s side.

“Phew! In that case…”

“Susanoo…”

“Enough!”

Madara was about to use his full power, activating Susanoo, to have a few more rounds with the seemingly foolish Great Tree Guardian.

Joa instantly appeared in front of the two.

“Let me try next.”

His brows were slightly furrowed, and his gaze held a hint of solemnity.

Seeing Joa in this state, Madara and Hashirama respectfully agreed without hesitation, then flew towards the sky.
