Sven stared intently at the strip, while the sly smile was fading from his face as he grew more serious. He could wait a long time for the right moment to play with his opponent, but there were some things he could not forgive.
"For one who holds the title of Wise Queen, you have done too foolish." Sven said calmly as his hair glowed brightly, beginning to move like a thousand snakes.
Polosa grinned, "Really? If she hadn't been a fucking monster, I would have killed her. That would be a great start to a fight for me, wouldn't it?" Polosa struck the ground with her spear.
Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.
Dozens of red roots emerged from beneath the ground as if they had long been covered in blood. They headed toward Sven, but some of them were aimed again at Marlis and Osvald.
Sven noticed this as his gaze grew sharp as blades. His hair rushed toward the roots in an attempt to cut them into hundreds of pieces, but they just bounced back as the roots were too strong.
'What the hell...? Sven was surprised, clenched his hand into a fist, and directed more energy into his hair. They shone even brighter and were finally able to do damage to the roots right before they had to get to Marlis.
Wain watching from the sidelines smirked.
"Hah, he had no problem even fighting the Dragons in Full Form, but Polosa will not be an easy opponent at all, will he?" Wain looked closely at Polosa, "That spear can make even a First Chronicle Creature dangerous, but in her hands, it goes to new limits."
Wain watched Sven's reaction with interest. He knew Sven would win, but he wanted to see exactly how, since now, for the first time ever, Sven was in a difficult situation.
"Well, well, you're using so much earth energy... Aren't you afraid it will be bad for this world?" Sven muttered glancing at the chopped roots.
Polosa frowned, "It's none of your business. If it's necessary to destroy an intruder like you, then I'm willing to spend all the energy and resources I have for it."
Without delay, Polosa struck the ground with her spear once more this time, red petals glowed brightly on the weapon.
Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.
The ground trembled as hundreds of roots began to transform into something. They transformed into several Ents, each with an aura at God Stage.
The Ents' amber eyes lit up like ghostly lanterns as they headed forward, straight toward Sven, shaking the ground with each step they took.
'Damn... How much energy did she expend to create them out of nothing? It can't go without consequences.' Wain pondered, rubbing his chin thoughtfully as his gaze shifted to the group of Plants who were watching the fight from afar.
After Polosa summoned the Ents, their faces grew considerably paler. They were among the weakest of the spectators since they were in First Chronicle.
'I see... Polosa used external energy rather than her own, it's not a bad plan, but doesn't she think about her people at all? After a few attacks like this, those in First or Second Chronicle won't even be able to be here without serious risk to their lives.' Wain muttered inwardly as he glanced at Polosa.
Wain himself was by no means the kindest of men, but he treated his men as they deserved, with the full dedication of himself. With his enemies, he behaved as harshly as possible.
'Well... It seems that Polosa was the kind of ruler for whom only one thing mattered: to destroy her enemy and thus preserve her power. There are many like her, but not among a race like the Plants.' Wain sighed as he turned to Sven.
Sven had a calm look in his eyes as if he had already decided what he would do to destroy the Ents, he had many ways to do it.
"You don't care about your own subordinates, so... I definitely shouldn't hold back. Those who don't want to die or suffocate better run as far away as possible." Sven spoke in a leisurely voice. He spoke softly enough, but everyone could hear him.
Whooooooooooooooooooosh.
At the same moment, dozens of Plants, most of them below Third Chronicle, rushed out in all directions. Their instincts told them to run. Only strong enough Plants decided to stay behind to see the fight for themselves.
Sven's aura calmed, becoming almost invisible, then he stretched his arm forward with his palm open and took a deep breath. His gaze was deep and calm.
Space distorted as all the energy from the surroundings began to be directed at one point as if there was a real black hole above Sven's palm that was absorbing everything in its path.
"What is this...?" Polosa muttered as a shiver ran through her body. She felt it was something that was not good for her.
"Nothing unusual, it's just my power. If you can use the energy of this world as your own, then I can absorb it limitlessly in that case." Sven said calmly when a white dot appeared in front of him, which rapidly increased in size.
Polosa frowned as she pointed her spear at Sven, additionally launching dozens of energy blades in his direction.
However, none of that mattered anymore, as Sven had gathered enough energy to make his attack.
"Yeah, for the first stage, that's not bad." Sven murmured as the sphere willed itself to split into several tiny needles. Each needle, like a missile, headed for the Ents, at the same time, Sven swung his sword, destroying the blades.
"Hah, you think this is going to do any harm to my Ents? Their roots are stronger than any armor!" Polosa smirked confidently.
Sven remained silent, he just waited for the needles to reach their target, it was seconds later.
Then, all of Plants World, for a moment, was covered in a bright flash, as if foreshadowing disaster.
