Chapter 336 [Event] [Dolphian Kingdom Under Ruins] [22] Alvara's Plants

"Start!" As James signaled the start of the match, a surge of mana erupted from the ground, conjuring mana circles that swiftly coalesced into twisting, thorny vines.

"Allen, deal with the others," Alvara commanded, her control over the plant-like entities evident.

"But, elder sister—" Allen began to protest. Điscover new chapters at novelhall.com

"Oh dear, consider it an order, Allen," Alvara interrupted, her voice chillingly authoritative, prompting Allen to obey and direct his attention towards Leire and Martin, accompanied by his fellow groupmates.

"You're underestimating us," I retorted, evading the encroaching vegetation with agile movements.

Alicia, wielding her burning blade with practiced skill, attempted to incinerate the advancing plants, but they continued to proliferate relentlessly.

"I have to first 'estimate' someone before 'underestimating' them," Alvara replied, her smile fading into a cold expression.

-Crack!

Suddenly, a massive thorny maw erupted from beneath me, threatening to engulf me whole.

Instinctively, I summoned the power of Vysindra, manifesting a mana circle beneath me and calling forth a fiery projectile.

"Fireball of Vysindra!"

But as the flame hurtled towards the gaping maw, a sinister green aura coalesced within it—a sign of Prana.

This wasn't good.

-BOOOOM!

The collision of Prana with my Fireball sent me careening backwards, disoriented.

Before I could regain my bearings, I found myself ensnared by a multitude of thorny vines, each imbued with Ruah and pulsating with Prana.

What in the world?

Focusing Prana into my limbs, scales materialized around my arms as I unleashed a powerful strike.

"Burning Claws of Vysindra!"

A sphere of fire enveloped me as I attempted to repel the vines, but many still managed to pierce through my defenses, tearing flesh and drawing blood.

I thought I held the elemental advantage, but it seemed Alvara had prepared for even the likes of my fire—perhaps especially so.

Refusing to surrender to defeat, I focused my energy, summoning white sand to coil around my arm.

I wanted to see how far she could go against me...

Alvara's eyes narrowed slightly as she observed my actions, her hand outstretched.

-BOOOOM!

A colossal thorny maw erupted from the ground below me, attempting to engulf me, but it was too late.

With a flick of my finger, I gathered the white sand into a sharp blade at the tip of my index finger and sliced through Alvara's vines. Then, pinching my thumb with my index finger, I flicked it powerfully towards the thorny mouth below me.

-BOOOOOOM!

A strange sound reverberated as the white sand engulfed the thorny mouth, exploding into sandy particles that dispersed into the air.

But as I turned around, I was met with the sight of Alvara floating in front of me, her expression unreadable as she reached out towards my throat without physical contact. More thorny vines emerged, ensnaring each of my limbs until I was completely immobilized. Try as I might, I couldn't summon the white sand to my aid amidst the overwhelming mass of vines constricting my body.

"Scorching Raven's Blade!" Alicia's voice echoed from behind Alvara as she attempted to launch an attack, but Alvara remained unfazed, her attention solely focused on me as her towering plant moved to intercept Alicia, overpowering her effortlessly.

[<You are losing consciousness.>]

I was painfully aware of that fact.

But I couldn't even muster the strength to move a single finger.

The greenish liquid oozing from the vines coiled around me seeped into my body, clouding my senses and leaving me utterly helpless.

Amidst the encroaching darkness as my consciousness began to fade—

-BOOOOOM!

A thunderous explosion reverberated throughout the stadium, shaking its very foundations. The stands trembled, and even the arenas where our battles were waged quivered under the immense force.

"The show is over."

The voice, neutral yet commanding, echoed resoundingly around us, cutting through the chaos.

Then, we beheld it.

A looming shadow, hovering ominously above us, positioned directly in front of the VIP box where the King sat.
