She launched herself from the pillar. Her speed closed the distance between her and Erik in seconds. Her clawed hand aid for his head.
Erik heated the surrounding area while increasing the moisture in the surroundings. A massive burst of steam erupted. He used the opportunity the steam provided to hide himself and escape and get enough ti to prepare a counterattack.
The battle progressed. The forest beca even more chaotic than it already was.
Scorched earth lay beside fields of ice. Stone pillars rose from liquefied ground. The air went from super-heated to freezing in seconds and vice versa.
Violent thermal shift occurred. Trees splintered or stood as bizarre sculptures. They were half-burned and half-frozen.
Neither Vania nor Erik gained an advantage. Vania's mutations made her resilient, much more than Erik could expect, while Erik had the hydra's head on his side, so there were ten brains taking care of ten different tasks for him, and telekinesis helped him survive.
Everything within a half-kiloter was flattened. Trees disintegrated or turned into splinters and dust. The ground cratered. Bedrock cracked as tectonic pressure was built and released.
When the air cleared, both stared at each other. Vania had been pushed several hundred ters from Erik. The surrounding area no longer looked like a forest. It was a barren wasteland. It looked more like a teor impact site.
Howls and roars echoed through what remained of the forest.
[It did. They ca because of the massive amount of mana you two released, but also because of the battle below.]
[Around four minutes away.]
Their roars and growls could be heard from their position. For things that could cover kiloters in seconds, four minutes ant they were not close, but they were big and powerful enough—and maybe nurous enough—for their sounds to be heard from their position.
The mana in the air must have sent them into a frenzy.
[Thousands at the least.]
But it wasn't just that. While Amber and the others defeated the Vindicators, the clones weren't having the sa success.
The system gave a ntal nod.
Vania charged. This ti, she used the mana chains. The bindings sought Erik, trying to ensnare him and allowing her to close the distance.
Erik sliced through the chains with so wind blades. At the sa ti, he pricked his skin. Blood trickled down and fell to the ground.
The first of many clone eggs appeared, falling to the ground. Erik used telekinesis to gently lower them from the sky while avoiding Vania's continuous attacks.
The first egg embedded itself in the soil. It already began the sped-up hatching process. A clone would erge in minutes. Then more drops of blood fell, and more eggs ca from them.
Vania noticed what he did. Her instincts told her to stop him. She slamd her claws into the ground. The earth heaved and split. A fissure raced toward the newly ford eggs.
Erik used telekinesis and lifted the eggs from their position as the ground beneath them collapsed and moved them to a safer location, while keeping Vania occupied and preventing her from targeting the eggs again.
Vania pressed her attack. Her elental powers tore through the remaining forest. Wind blades sliced through ancient trees. Bursts of fla created new wildfires. The ground shifted and reford as she manipulated the earth.
Erik created a barrier around the growing number of eggs while getting her attention.
Through one of his hydra heads, Erik used the Hive Mind to get in contact with the Dark Shapes.
