[Na: lia(can be evolved)]
[Species: liae]
[Tier/Level: 4/2]
'Evolve' I ntally commanded, bringing up the evolution options.
lia was doing her usual antics of treating like so precious kid but I ignored that and instead focused on the option presented to .
[Roots: lia is placed in hibernation for centuries allowing her to grow her roots. Evolved to take control of the land she has been on
Fruit: lia evolved to create greater humans.]
I interrupted the doting lia had been attempting to tell her of her options.
"The roots one looks more appealing."
"Ok" I didn't question her decision, it was her evolution. I could evolve her the way I wanted to but that would break the trust she had placed in .
Selecting the roots option lia disappears in a brilliant flash of green.
Imdiately, in my peripheral vision, I see a screen appear.
The four seasons pass by as the falling of leaves turn to lush greenery.
In and out the cycle repeats, a constant struggle for the tree to survive. Weathered by imasurable ti the tree grows older, the tree grows more mature.
Starting from the 15 feet tall tree it quickly grows to 30 then 40 ultimately stopping at an impressive 80 feet tall.
The rise and fall of seasons stop as another brilliant green light appears bringing lia back from her hibernation.
[Na: lia]
[Species: Great liae]
[Tier/Level: 3/5]
…
From the great tree that appears from nothing cos a beautiful woman.
With the greenest hair cut in a short bob style. Brilliant erald eyes sparkling with power.
"Off" I commanded. It was like she teleported. One mont lia was staring at , her face impassive, then the next I was getting smothered on the ground.
"Hehehe" lia giggled rubbing herself on , ignoring my order.
Wiggling my arm out of her grasp I reinforce it with aether then flick her.
A large goose bump appears on her head as she runs it allowing to wiggle the rest of my body out of her grasp.
…
"Ara" a smile smile played out on her face "you aren't supposed to be here"
Looking off into the distance lia mumbled to herself.
*BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM*
Several continuous bangs echoed out in the distance.
I reinforced my legs to give enough strength, then quickly leaped up into a nearby tree to get a view of the explosion.
Once I was high enough to see what had happened, I saw smoke wafting into the air along with the corpses of at least 20 other elves.
Returning back into the ground were the cannons that Delta had installed.
I had gotten a good look at everything I needed so I climbed down the tree back to where I left lia.
"Was that you"
lia answers with a small nod and smile.
"Yeah I can control everything in your territory that is natural. I just connected the right prices of electricity in the turrets and stopped so resistors and bam they were dead."
She raised her head as if asking for a pat on the head for her good job.
Sighing I reach out and pat her on the head
"Nnn" a small groan of contentnt leaked out of her voice.
…
After a minute or so of patting her head she suddenly opened her eyes glaring off into the distance.
"Tch, damn beasts"
"Hmm" I hum asking for an explanation.
Picking up on my question lia elaborates.
"There is a horde of at least 2000 beasts heading our way."
"Can you kill them with the turrets?" I ask, wondering if the turrets had enough range.
"No, the forest cloaks them too much, and we only have a limited amount of ammo."
I sat in silence for a mont contemplating.
I had asked for further information on the beast's combat power and tier and it seed like they were only tier 8 at the lost though there was one at tier 6.
This could be a good chance to expand my power.
The last ti I had a desperate battle like this one would be I advanced into tier 8.
…
"I've decided" I declare to lia who was still sitting next to , "I'm going to fight them on my own"
"Huh!?" She seed surprised and rightfully so. Unless my combat power was considerably greater or I had a suitable area of effect skill then I wouldn't be able to combat this hoard.
However I wanted to do this, it was an opportunity for to improve.
Seeing my resolve lia didn't fight my decision anymore than to send for Tama to back up.
…
After Tama had arrived we got the directions from lia and headed off to intercept the beasts.
It took a while the beasts being so far out but eventually after about half an hour of walking we made it to where the beasts were.
*BANG* *BANG*
The stomps of their hooves were deafening.
"Be careful, if I see that you aren't able to handle this I'll pull you out imdiately, my Lord."
With a nod I acknowledged Tama's warning.
Brandishing my spear I reinforced it then jumped into the horde following the lines to cut at the first beasts neck.
Instantly blood spurted out and the beast was dead. For a second I took the ti to examine the corpse.
It had a body of a bird with no wings, with a head and tail of a lion with the proportions to go with it. Its claws looked like those of an eagle.
After I was done checking out her corpse I took in the rest of the beasts.
There were hundreds in my vicinity with at the very least a thousand more scattered here and there.
*ROOOAR* *ROOOAR* *ROOOAR*
Imdiately after I had killed the beast the others roared and charged at .
Though they were a bit slow as they were competing to who could get to first as if victory was guaranteed for them.
I was ready for them though, with the ti given to I started up my pathways. With a green glow I reinforced the areas that were directly intersected by my pathways.
I also reached down a hand to reinforce both my legs.
Though that cost a few seconds and allowed the first few beasts to get closer to , it was still worth it. With a slash upwards I cut the head of the one closest to in half and generated a fist of wind.
The beasts, seeing how easily their comrade had been slaughtered, backed off for a bit, stopping their competition to actually collaborate
