Chapter 247:
In the dimly lit Nursery, the Giant Baby's pink eyes curiously stared at Freya, who was still floating in mid-air, with an innocent expression on its face.
However, for Freya, the Giant Baby exuded a strong sense of danger.
The gust of wind that had just blown her away was merely a result of the Giant Baby's unintentional actions.
Perhaps it was still waking up; the Giant Baby rubbed its chubby face with its pudgy hands and blinked its enormous eyes.
In a soft and giant voice, it drowsily asked Freya, "Who are you? Is that a new toy that Mommy bought for me? It looks nice, but the baby doesn't like it."
With that, the Giant Baby suddenly raised its arm and swatted at Freya.
Seeing the enormous, pale arm coming toward her, Freya was startled and quickly slapped her right chest.
With a 'smack!', the Levitation Spell was instantly dispelled, and her body rapidly descended.
Just as she was about to hit the ground, Freya swiftly shot out a black seed from her waist pouch.
With a whoosh, as soon as the seed left her hand, it began to sprout on the ground, quickly forming a large net of green vines.
With a crack!
Gravity and the weight of her body caused Freya to crash heavily onto the large net, instantly tearing apart the tree roots and vines.
Fortunately, this also meant that Freya did not suffer any injuries.
The Giant Baby, realizing it hadn't hit anything, tilted its head to look at its hand, and immediately noticed the abnormality on the ground.
Suddenly, the Giant Baby seemed to recall something. Its confused face displayed an extreme look of panic, and its pink wide-eyed gaze quickly filled with large tears.
"Are you a bug!? Baby hates bugs! Mommy!"
The infant's high-pitched scream echoed as the Giant Baby reached out its hand to swat at Freya on the ground.
With its movement, the surrounding toys began to shake and tremble.
The Puppet Monkey at the top and many large toys came crashing down from above.
"Damn it!"
Seeing the multitude of toys falling, Freya cursed under her breath. Without time to think further, she unleashed her energy.
A swirl of white air enveloped her body, transforming into two long silver tassels behind her.
Bang! Bang!
Two massive baby arms slammed down onto the ground, creating a tremendous vibration.
Freya swiftly dodged among the giant dolls that floated around her.
These toys were enormous, resembling massive meteors. If one were to fall on her, it would likely result in serious injury, if not death.
She never expected that just for the sake of the Poison Lizard's Pistil, she would encounter such bizarre events, which left Freya feeling a simmering anger inside.
"This is definitely not a low-level secret realm! When I get back, I will make that guy Roy pay for this!!"
As the Giant Baby randomly slapped the ground, Freya suddenly jumped up.
With incredible speed, she landed on the tender back of the Giant Baby's hand and then dashed along its arm. In her line of sight, the soaring Puppet Monkey landed on the shoulder of this infant.
"Ah!! A bug has crawled onto the baby!"
The startled baby screamed as its other arm quickly swept toward Freya.
The whistling sound rushed past her; its speed was even faster than Freya's running.
A strong sense of danger made Freya's scalp tingle. A fierce look flashed in her eyes as she abruptly drew a blue spike from behind her and shot it backward without looking.
'Thud!'
The blue spike pierced directly into the Giant Hand behind Freya, igniting a blaze of blue flames.
The smell of charred flesh quickly filled the air.
"Ah."
The sting made the Giant Baby flinch, and Freya seized the opportunity to leap over to Puppet Monkey's side. She reached out to grasp the doorknob in her belly and twisted it.
'Click.'
The door swung open, and a strong cold wind mixed with the bitter scent of plants rushed in from behind the door, tangling her long hair.
Freya squinted and stepped inside.
Just as she entered, a massive white-painted wooden door on one side of the giant baby's room slammed open.
In the dim light, an even larger figure strode in quickly.
"Oh, baby, don't cry. Mommy's coming."
...
'Bang!'
She slammed the door shut.
Freya leaned against the wooden door, her face slightly pale.
The creature that was the Giant Baby exceeded everything she could comprehend; its enormous size meant it could easily crush her with a single blow.
The spells and physical attacks she had learned were hardly capable of inflicting any fatal damage on such a large creature.
The blue spike she had just shot was actually a piercing weapon she had crafted using her bloodline.
It possessed the ability to break through most force fields, and the blue flames it burned with were modified based on Ashfire, reaching temperatures of over a thousand degrees.
Even against a Crystalized Wizard, Freya estimated that being pierced by this would cause significant damage.
However, it only made the Giant Baby cry out in pain, and the attack was no different from being pricked by a needle.
"And it looks like that creature is still in its juvenile stage. If it were an adult..."
Freya dared not think further.
After resting against the door for a while, she lifted her head to observe her surroundings.
It was a vast expanse of grass taller than a person, and even when Freya stood up, only her head was visible above it.
A cold wind occasionally swept through the tall weeds, producing eerie whistling sounds.
Scanning the area, Freya lightly sniffed and casually pulled up a nearby weed to examine it, frowning slightly.
"The energy density is quite rich. If I'm not mistaken, this should be the Cultivation Area."
According to Roy, the first zone of the secret realm was the Cultivation Area, so it seemed that this place wasn't too far from the entrance.
She thought for a moment and raised her index finger to her lips.
"Roy, where are you now? Roy."
The voice was transmitted through the Secret Mark, and soon her index finger lit up with Azure Light.
"Hiss."
However, it was not the familiar voice of Roy, but rather a series of harsh and noisy sounds.
"Can't we make contact even at this close distance? Or has he encountered some trouble?"
Looking at the flickering blue light at her fingertip, Freya pondered for a moment before retracting her finger.
The Reconnaissance Seeds in her mental connection continued to provide her with feedback, indicating that the issue was not due to this secret realm; something might have indeed happened to Roy.
After thinking it over, she cautiously moved towards the direction of the seeds.
This Cultivation Area seemed to have been abandoned for a long time. Although it was quite large, most of the plants growing inside were ordinary weeds contaminated by dense energy, hardly worth her effort to collect. (To be continued...)
