"Hmmm, to gain such buffs means that the monsters here are good with mana and have a solid resistance towards most alignments, maybe elves and the like?" Reign asks everyone as they step inside the forest, it was incredibly beautiful and lush with an incredible amount of fauna inside. All the forests they went into before were different and were nice to look at but this, this is something straight out of a fairy tale.

"Don't relax, remember what happened in the previous one." Wolf immediately reminds everyone to be on guard, the memory of the previous forest still fresh in his mind. Luckily the effect this place had on their mind and alertness was not as strong as the IronBark Woods, probably because of the level difference between them.

It wasn't long before everyone came face to face with their first enemy, a Fey.

[ Corrupted Young Fey ]

Level: 18

Race: Fae

Strength: 12

Agility:24

Endurance: 15

Vitality: 15

Willpower: 34

Spirit : 3?

Description: A fey is a mystical creature from the Fae race, these creatures generally have a human-like appearance but can take on many different appearances, a beautiful young human male or female, an old grumpy man, a dwarf, a wood folk… The feys strength lies in their strong magic abilities which consist of charm, hypnotism, and transformation. Feys are usually very caring and loving creatures that are deeply connected with nature and as such they despise killing and will always try to be friendly with others, leaving fighting only as the last resort.

The fey in front of them had the appearance of an incredibly beautiful young woman with an enchanting face and curvy body, she had only a light dress on her which accentuated her body incredibly well. With a wide smile, the fey looks at the party and waves at them as she slowly walks towards them, as she sees how they all raise their weapons up she merely giggles at them without stopping her steps.

"What should we do, she doesn't look like she wants to fight." Shadow nervously asks Wolf, killing an innocent-looking young girl didn't sit well with Shadow, even though he knew she was a monster. In response to his question and actions, Wolf just snorts and answers.

"It says corrupted, she is definitely up to no good." With his eyes squinted he looks at the fey, making sure to properly observe her movements, not allowing her to do anything that could injure them.

The fey simply smiles at him before she comes closer to Reign. It had to be said that she was amongst the most beautiful women any of them had ever seen, and if not for their meeting with the even more alluring Miriam everyone would be smitten by her till now.

Reign lowers his weapon as she comes face to face with him, the sword was still being held in his hand, tightly clenched by his fingers, and ready to be used for an attack at any time.

Seeing his action of lowering the sword the fey smiles even wider and hurries herself to Reign, right when it was about 1m between them she changed.

Her beautiful, angelic face produced wrinkles and suddenly lost all color while her body loses weight in a matter of moments, only leaving skin and bones to be shown. Her blonde hair suddenly turns into black, dry hair Her nails grow to a length of about 5cm as she lunges at Reign, her now black hair swaying in the wind while her ugly face grows increasingly closer to him.

Swing

Reign swings his sword at the monster before he entered the range of her nails, the sword and nails collide and produce metal sparks between them while a metallic sound could be heard.

"Kyaaaa!" The ugly old bat screams in anger as her surprise attack fails, leaving her with no option but to try and bite Reign's neck with her now spiky, sharp teeth. Reign however manages to dodge the attack with little effort, after which the others quickly respond, hurriedly launching attacks on the fey.

The fey was immediately riddled with injuries as she stumbles back a bit, angrily staring at the perpetrators with dense killing intent. Beast's arrow plunges deep inside the shoulder of the monster, almost crippling her right arm. Many more wounds could be seen on the body, while some parts were even burning a bit.

Greenies hammer managed to squish one of her feet completely, a lvl 18 monster was not an easy opponent for them, but it was definitely not something hard for them, after all their group had enough firepower to fight against an lvl20 boss at any given moment. The fey was usually a hard opponent to beat,

The incredible charm coupled with an even more incredible body was something all players would go crazy for, being charmed by the monster in mere seconds. Luckily for them seeing Miriam gave them a certain disinterest in most girls, as none would be able to compare to her.

The monster only fought for less than a minute before falling to her death as the numerous attacks made her weak body stop functioning as a defense was something every fey lacked. They usually simply use their magic and charm before killing their opponents, a total opposite of the non-corrupted feys who simply avoid any conflicts with other races.

After their brief fight, everyone encountered even more enemies. The enemies in question were Fairies, different from the fey who simply enjoyed nature. Fairies are impulsive and quite the trouble makers, immediately after spotting them, all the fairies around attack them, mostly using elemental skills. Water was launched at high pressure and it could cut through trees and rocks, not to mention human bodies.

The small size of these monsters made it tough to always hit them, they were about the size of the newborn baby, being of course much stronger physically compared to them. The fairies were more of a nuisance than a proper enemy, new ones always cropped up in the forest, ready to fight.

Reign and the others were lucky so far and didn't come to blows with any bosses or high-level monsters except for the fey. They were hallway through the forest and barely broke a sweat and their mana was almost full. Compared to the blood forest they went through previously this one was a breeze. Monsters were not incredibly fast or strong, mainly relying on their magic to fight, their magic, unfortunately, was almost useless on Reign and the others, which made the fights incredibly easy to finis, without needing to take any risks.

As they move forward they were a bit perplexed by the lack of monsters they would come across, it was mostly fey and fairies but some other monsters would pop up from time to time. Hooded old men that were druids would come to harass them from a distance. It was never dangerous against them though, as they mostly tried to simply make their lives harder.

They also encountered some dryads who were similar in that regard. They resembled the wood folk a bit but were much more careful compared to them. The dryads could use a skill they had to call the nearby beasts to help them during the fight. Next to that they also had archers and many more different classes in the group. The hardest ones to fight were the archers and the pure magic users as they could attack them from a distance while fighting. The archers could do some considerable damage while staying far away from you.

The pure magic user ones were more annoying than dangerous. They would always use some skills to debuff the whole party while buffing up their teammates. Other skills they would use were those that don't necessarily do a lot of damage but would make it harder for you to move.

All of the fights they had so far in the forest were truly easier compared to the others, that was of course mostly thanks to Miriam who made their resistance towards mind-controlling and charming skills stronger with simply her presence alone.

.Reign simply checked his stats before they came to the beginning of the forest, everyone was yawning a bit as the forest was much easier to finish compared to different ones. Slowly they walk outside of the forest and look at the new one. The other forest looked normal from outside, of course, they would only find out the exact situation only when they get in. They hope that there might be some other people in it as they would like to know more about the town they were going to.
