Testing!
I take the Scythe from the Undead Dryad. She smiles before standing up and looking at me with her white eyes. The moment I grab the Scythes ball, two roots extend from it. One shoots straight down and hits the ground. It hardens and turns into the shaft or handle. It's made of three slim roots wrapped and spiraling around one another. The other root extends to my left. It's not as long as the shaft, but it makes a blade. The blade is made of wood but is coated in something dark green. It starts to drip down and lands on the ground. The ball connects the blade to the shaft. Once the two are done growing, more roots envelop it to protect it. I grab it by the shaft and lift it up. As I do, the roots wrap around my hands. They extend down to my elbows before stopping. They create something similar to gauntlets. The fingers drip the same dark green liquid that the blade has. Upon further inspection, I notice it is very thick and almost slimy. I run my fingers over it, surprised that I can feel a sense of touch through the gauntlets. The liquid feels squishy and sticks to my finger. Out of curiosity, I place my finger with the substance onto my exposed skin.

So this liquid deals damage. It must be some kind of acidic substance then. It might even be poisonous, I should ask Verona about this. Considering that Observe said no one has done this before, she'll be glad to take a look. I think before the Undead Dryad taps on my shoulder, surprising me since I was too absorbed with the Scythe.
"Y-yes?" I ask, unsure if she can talk. I assume she was created to care for the forest, similar to the Dryads that raised Liz. But she's Undead like the forest. So I'm not sure how to respond to her. I think as she points to my right. I turn and see an Undead Ent standing a few feet away. She points to my Scythe and then to the Ent. "Do you want me to attack it?" I ask causing her to smile and nod. She wants me to attack a Guardian? I think before Observing the Ent.
Undead Ent Lvl 85, Class: Undead, Title: Guardian, RP: 250, Hearts: 5, Weak: Light, Fire
HP: 15000/15000 MP: 7500/7500
The Ent steps forward and raises both its arms in a T-pose. I hold the Scythe, my mana telling my body how to use it. I step forward when the Dryad stops me. She shakes her head no before reaching in front of herself. A root shoots straight up from the ground. The Dryad grabs the top of it, where it was thin. She lifts it as the root turns into a sword. The sword drips with the same dark green liquid that the Scythe has. She holds it in front of herself before swinging it in the air. As she does, the green liquid leaves a trail behind. Once she's done, the trail shoots forward and hits the Ent. The Ent doesn't flinch or seem to care that it just got hit. I Observe it and see it didn't take any damage. So I can use the liquid to attack at a distance. It also doesn't affect the Ents. Is it because they're the forests Guardians or because they're Undead? I think before lifting the Scythe up. I bring it over my left shoulder and swing. I try to leave a trail as the Dryad did. It doesn't work so I try again. After my fifth try the Dryad grabs my hand. She runs my fingers along the blade covered in the liquid. She lifts it up after my hand is covered. She then lowers my Scythe before bringing my hand up to me. She places my hand between hers before making the liquid move. She moves it around and makes it float a few centimeters. I can sense her doing it, but she's not using mana. I'm not sure how she did it. Once she's done she makes me grab my Scythe again and try to attack the Ent. I try again, trying to manipulate the liquid as she did. It doesn't work, causing me to sigh and try again. After a few minutes of trying, with the Dryad trying to help me, I get a phone call. I rest the Scythes handle on the ground, holding it still with one hand. I take my phone out, making sure I don't have any of the liquid on my hand.
"Hello?" I ask upon answering.
"Hey Master, where are you at?" Asami asks.
"I'm in a Crystal Dimension, why? Do you need me for something?" I ask her.
"Not me, but the other members were wanting to spar with you some more. Luna, Innu, and I are setting up some stuff for tomorrow. So we asked them to step out of the Guildhall. They've been sparring in the arena for a while but wanted me to ask you to join them. Verona and Gaia are there now."
"Sure, I'll be there in a bit."
"Oh! Once you get there, make sure not to mention that Verona and Gaia are Gods. The fact that Gods and Goddesses exist is a secret that only a few Guild Masters and Lyna know. But they can still interact with the Guild members. To the others, they're just powerful friends that you have. They may be curious about their appearance, but they'll assume it's a part of their school of magic."
"Got it, thanks." I say before she thanks me and hangs up. I spend a minute trying to make the Scythe revert to its ball form. Once I do, the Ent walks off. The Dryad knows I'm leaving and bows to me. I tell her bye before leaving, not sure what else to say to her. I appear in my Domain and immediately leave for my Guildhall. I make my way to the arena. I swap to my armor as I enter. I find Irene and Marlo inside. They're standing by the entrance to the battle area. Inside I see Verona sparring with Nick, Abigal, and Mavis. Nick has a golem with him and is on the offensive. Abigal is behind him attacking with fire from a distance. Mavis is in the ground, using her magic to make it a large shadow again. I see Andrew and Chase sitting near Irene and Marlo.
