Chapter 2348 Sealing

Emery surged forward, his predatory instincts pushing him to close the distance. He had to stop Adam and silence the Nephilim Apostle before the bells drained him completely.

But Adam, relying on the divine wings that spanned majestically from his back, gracefully soared away, maintaining a safe distance while continuing to chant, the intricate sealing spell.

Every step he took felt heavier, his movements slower, as if the very air around him had thickened. The Khaos energy, once a raging storm within him, now felt like a dwindling ember, slowly being snuffed out.

At that moment, Emery understood the true nature of the trap he had walked into. The Nephilim hadn't just chosen Adam by chance. They had studied him and learned from the many battles he had fought over the last few years. They knew about his primal beast, his reliance on Khaos, and had prepared accordingly.

Emery's breathing grew ragged as the relentless pursuit dragged on.

His Khaos energy, once a roaring storm, now felt distant, and muted, and the restless stirring of the Star Devouring beast within him added to the chaos. Its hunger surged, pushing against the mental barriers he had erected, but Emery knew better than to let it loose, especially in front of the crowd. With a grimace, Emery made a critical decision. He couldn't let this battle spiral into something uncontrollable. He had to cut it off.

Abruptly, Emery halted his chase. His primal energy flickered one last time before he forced it down, severing his connection to the Khaos within. The beast's roar echoed in his mind as he locked it away, the dark aura dissipating as he reverted fully to his human form. Gasps rippled through the audience, their awe-filled murmurs spreading like wildfire. The sight of Emery's transformation back to his original state was unexpected.

However, as he pressed closer, he suddenly noticed a shift in the density of the vines.

Adam quickly turned and saw a smile spread across Emery's face as he calmly said, "Too late..."

In an instant, more thick vines erupted from the ground, but these were different. They shimmered with glowing runes pulsing with energy.

This was no mere entanglement; it was a new spell that Emery had painstakingly crafted, combining years of experience in root spells with the profound insights he had gained from the Seraph City library. His deepening bond with the Elysian trees had culminated in the creation of a magus-level spell he proudly named [Elysian Roots].

The spell boasted a tier 7 durability rating, though its limited range had forced Emery to lure Adam closer with the weaker roots before unleashing the full force of his new technique.

As the dense, rune-covered vines began to ensnare him, Adam's confidence faltered. Panic flickered across his face; the vines were far more resilient than he had anticipated, requiring significantly more effort to cut through.

In a frantic attempt to escape, he launched himself into the air, soaring upward to avoid being trapped. But one vine lashed out with a swift, serpentine movement, coiling around his leg and anchoring him in place.

"ARGHH!!" Adam shouted in frustration, feeling the crushing grip of the vine tighten around his foot, squeezing mercilessly.
