"Hey you all, I don't think you should let your guard down," soone warned, and it was Challes whose words we heard.
"What do you an, Mr. Slave," Spene inquired; he was still calling Challes "Mr. Slave".
"Look behind you," Challes responded.
Spene turned and as he saw what was back there, he jumped away from the wall almost like a cat.
The wall he was using as support was now moving; or rather, the plants attached to the wall were moving. And this ti there was not only one, but all the plants on the floor were slowly separating from the walls and taking their shape.
"This looks bad," Spene sighed.
"Yeah, for sure," Favian agreed.
"More like annoying," Xara corrected.
The three adventures went into battle mode yet again. Spene posed his sword, Favian held his bow and loaded the arrows, Xara poured her mana into her staff and the gem on the top glowed. The three of them stood around and Challes in a triangular position to defend us.
At last, the tree monsters got away from the walls and ford their bodies. The main structure of each tree—which worked as the spine and the stomach, was made out of wooden trunks, and it was the sa in each one of them. But it was different for the other parts of the body, so had vines as hands while so had branches, so had their head made of a big flower while so had them made out of bushes and long, dog-ears-like leaves.
Now that they were in a fixed shape, they looked a bit familiar to a fantasy monster nad Ents—so I'll just call them that. If I'd to count their numbers, then there will be around 20 or 30 of them. Each of them was 6 to 7 feet in height, so they overpowered us to a huge extent. But there was no option other than fighting if we wanted to survive.
Hence, as the Ents' roared and scread and closed the distance and attacked, the three adventured instantly countered.
Spene slashed their branches with his sword, Favian drilled their vines to the wall with his arrows and disturbed their movents, and Xara used her magic to burn the shit out of them.
But despite all that, in less than a second we were surrounded by a horde of Ents; if there had been any way to escape; now it was closed off.
Battle cries left Spene's mouth as he chopped off the trees. It was obvious that he was having a bit of trouble. After all, he was slicing thick and hardwood; and it's not easy to be able to perform that kind of thing.
Though the one with the most disadvantage was Favian; as an archer, he wasn't good in close combat, but the Ents were not just ready to attack him from a distance. The Ents were just wood, and he was also having the sa problem as Spene; to pierce through the hardwood.
In fact, he had it even rough. One could cut the wood in half if they applied enough force, but to do that with re arrows was impossible—even if those arrows were bound with mana. So all he could do was target the vines, which were a little easier target.
And while the two boys were trying hard to remain on the front lines, the girl Xara was having it easy here. From what I've observed she used spells that used the fire elent as her primary spells, henceforth she probably had good control over it. That helped her here since Ents were weak against fire; no matter how strong they beco they were still trees.
It was actually funny how them being trees and having a body made of wood was giving troubles to Spene and Favian while the sa property was making it easier for Xara to finish them. Irony I guess.
She was using her fireballs and so other fire spells to burn the Ents, and she was able to do it quite easily, however, that wasn't enough. The balance between the three of them was not equal, and the formation was starting to crack. Favian was being pushed back and Spene remained at the sa place, while Xara was charging forward as she got more ground.
"Oops!" I murmured as I titled to the side and dodged a vine that ca at with insane speed.
I instantly activated my skill [Foresight] thus allowing myself to see 0.1 seconds into the future. I was practicing with this skill whenever I had free ti, and now I knew that I can only focus on one thing and see its future. Like I can focus on the vines and monsters and only their possible attacks will be visible to while the adventures and everything else will look normal.
This was quite helpful since before, my vision always got ssed up whenever I used this skill. But now it was not a problem, so I selected the vines and the monsters as the targets and saw all the possible attacks they could perform in the next 0.1 seconds, and dodged a few more attacks that ca afterward.
"Favian, what are you doing? Protect Ichigo!" Spene commanded as he fended off against an Ent who had branched at its arms and was charging at Spene while so other Ents' beside him whipped Spene with their vines.
"I…can't!! I'm not in a position to move! I'll die if I let my defense down even for a second!" he replied. Right now Favian was struggling with 2 Ents at the sa ti; since they were so close, he was also using his body to attack them and didn't rely only on the arrows.
"Xara!"
"There are many of them on my side, they'll charge inside if I moved from here," she responded. As she was the one wiping most of their kin, the Ents were attracted toward her; she was facing 3 to 4 at the sa ti.
No one was in a position to co and defend , and then finally it happened. Spene, Favian, and Xara went so far from each other while facing the Ents that an opening was created, and several Ents rushed inside toward .
'There was no one coming to fight for , huh? I guess I'll do it myself then.'
