Chapter 704 - "Keep Pretending"

One of Marietta's special abilities was nature control, but because she's a multiple ability user, she wasn't a weak manipulator who needed existing plants or flora to be her weapon. 

She could create plants and flora using her energy to be manipulated as she wished! 

The type of plants and flora she could create depend on her knowledge of plants and flora. 

If she could comprehend a unique plant or flora's basic structure, she could even use the flora or the plant's unique characteristics. 

For example, poisonous flowers, plants that could attract monsters, plants that could transform into puppet woods, and so on. 

Coupled with her earth manipulation ability, the two abilities matched well, pushing Marietta to become one of the respected five buds with only three special abilities. 

Nature manipulation ability users weren't rare, but most of them could only control plants or flora, not both. 

They also could only control one type of plant or its body part such as the trunk, the vines, the leaves, and so on. 

However, Marietta's ability was clearly not limited to those things. 

Her ability could be counted as a unique ability thanks to the wide range of control, plus the power to create plants and flora just using her energy and then manipulate them. 

Right after Marietta finished setting up the traps, the enemy had also managed to destroy the marble wall, and Candea did not rush to create more walls from the marble floor. 

Clearly, her type of ability was only to manipulate and not to create from scratch, unlike Marietta's. 

Thus, if she continued to use her ability, the Connecting Hall's marble floor would be gone in minutes. 

However, because the entire marble floor was advantageous for her, Ainsley used this person's unique ability to control the battle flow. 

Imagine when you're running around, and the marble floor suddenly becomes thorns and stabs your feet or something. 

The marble floor could move on its own, saving allies but killing enemies…

She could create a hole for the enemies, could shift the floor to save the allies, could do many things as long as there were marbles! 

Candea was really battling in her own turf. With Candea's ability, the enemy's speed slowed down, and they couldn't rush into the hall all at once. 

They could only silently creep along the walls and tried not to get too far from the group-stealth ability user because there's a range limit. 

The enemies thought that they could bypass Ainsley's people by pressing themselves onto the wall and silently moved to the flag's location without getting attacked anymore…

Alas, the wall was full of cyan vines, the same colour as the wall itself. The vines blended perfectly along the wall, only looking like a decoration or something. 

But...appearance could be deceiving. 

The moment three or four intruders touched the vines on the wall, before they could even retract their hands, the vines already slurred to their wrists and waists, instantly capturing them. 

The vines were so strong that the intruders couldn't break free no matter what! 

They couldn't even scream or use their abilities because the next moment, the vine's sharp edge stabbed their necks or hearts without producing any noises. 

Spurt. 

Blood trickled down the vines as the four intruders' corpses dangled to the thick vines, instantly alarming Paul and his group. 

[Mayday, mayday! Don't touch the wall at all! There are weird vines there. It must be Marietta's nature control ability!] 

The vice commander in the group hastily reminded everyone. 

Ainsley's people truly couldn't see or sense them, but those vines could easily detect them as long as there was skin contact. 

The vines seemed to be connected to Marietta's senses and she reacted so fast to eliminate the intruders! 

Paul and his vice commander knew a lot about the five buds, so they recognised Marietta's ability in less than seconds. 

Truthfully, if those people didn't suddenly die in front of them, they would also ignore the slight bulging 'decorations' on the wall, thinking that it's the wall's unique design. 

The Connecting Hall itself was a round hall with seven doors on each side. The biggest door in the hall was the large golden gate behind the tall flag. 

Paul didn't know what's behind the golden door or other doors, but he reminded his people to get away from the doors too. 

What if there were beasts or troops hiding behind the door, ready to ambush them? 

Thus, after the death of the four intruders, the rest of the group tread around the hall carefully, not wanting to touch the wall. 

They even looked down at the floor, afraid that the marble floor would suddenly become walls or something. 

After all, they almost died by the marble floor's sudden movement! 

Paul's group could see the Connecting Hall was full of people and there were even those in the air. 

If they didn't have the group-stealth ability, how could they even approach the hall? 

However, they believed in the stealth ability. 

They all believed that the marble floor case earlier was just an accident because Candea's sixth sense was strong or something. 

Alas..they didn't even realise that Ainsley is purposely luring them to enter the Connecting Hall, wanting to kill them all at once or little by little! 

Of course, right now, the baby was busy looking around in panic because of the sudden commotion. 

"What's going on? Candea, why did you build that marble wall? And Marietta! What's with those four corpses? Where did they come from??" 

Ainsley's face was pale as she pretended not to sense the intruders' arrival. 

Marietta and Candea were both smart, and when they heard Ainsley's words, they instantly knew what she wanted to do. 

Pretend. Keep pretending!
