Forest Troll stretched out countless vine tentacles towards Chen Fann. Since he was right next to it, the vine tentacles were numerous and much faster.

Besides the vines tentacles from the Forest Troll, other ones from the nearby trees also attacked.

Under the Forest Troll’s control, countless tentacles formed an airtight killing formation, leaving no gap for an escape.

In the face of its fierce attack, Chirp immediately raised her tail and stared at it with her big silver eyes. Her hair stood on end in preparation to launch a counterattack.

“Chirp, don’t move. Come to my shoulder.”  Chen Fann calmed Chirp and let it settle on his shoulder.

At this time, the tentacles had already reached his side.

However, Chen Fann, who wielded two steel axes with both hands, remained stationary.

Just as the tentacles were about to entangle and bind him,

He just softly uttered an old whisper: ‘Καὶδυσκολογικός.’

This was only the first word at the beginning of the old whisper,

but it possessed an incomparably terrifying decaying power.

A terrifying evil aura of decay was suddenly emitted from Chen Fann’s body.

In an instant, as if the needle of time had stopped, the vine tentacles positioned less than ten centimeters away from Chen Fann suddenly stiffened. Time seemed to have frozen at this moment, unable to reach reality.

In the next moment, with Chen Fann at the center, all the vine tentacles and trees within three hundred meters of the square garden withered at a speed invisible to the naked eye. Green leaves turned yellow and fell just as the roots quickly withered like rotten wood.

The vitality in the affected range died out at an insanely fast speed.

Then, Chen Fann moved.

Whislt wielding two axes, his movements were clean and neat as he effortlessly cut off the surrounding vine tentacles.

It all happened so fast in a blink of an eye.

“What kind of strange power is this? Why do I feel like my life is slipping away? Why is my tree trunk withering? ” the Forest Troll, who felt the changes in his body, was incomparably shocked.

He had absolutely no idea what had happened.

Although he possessed the ability of quick regeneration, as soon as the branches and trunks grew back again, they would wither just as fast.

Furthermore, since he controlled the speed of the tree’s attacks, due to their death, their speed had slowed down a lot, like an aging old man’s.

On the other hand, Chen Fann used his two axes to cleanly cut off all the vines and branches, with the rotten old trees being much easier to chop.

However, every time he cut off the Forest Troll’s tentacles, it would almost immediately regrow them. It was as if he had fallen into an endless cycle. No matter how many branches he cut, it was useless.

However, Chen Fann didn’t stop, no one knew his inner plans.

The Old locust tree who was observing all of this secretly failed to understand Chen Fann’s actions. Additionally, he didn’t understand what kind of strange power he had just released that could make the Forest Troll and the trees around him age rapidly.

He was also baffled as to why the intelligent human would do such a stupid thing.

Despite knowing that the Forest Troll had the ability to regenerate quickly, he still did such a pointless thing. Although it had aged a little, he could still be reborn quickly. No matter how many tree branches and trunks he cut off, the Forest Troll would be able to regrow back infinitely.

The old locust tree was not the only one in the dark; even the Forest Troll couldn’t understand what Chen Fann was trying to do. Just now, he was startled by the strange power that could make him age rapidly; he still had a lingering fear in his heart.

Seeing Chen Fann repeatedly cutting off vine tentacles and tree branches, he couldn’t help but feel relieved.

This human seemingly used the Silver Dragon to release some kind of terrifying power, but that was the only effect. Although his life force had drained a little, it didn’t affect his ability to quickly regenerate.

No matter how many tentacles this human cut off, it had no effect on him.

“His branches, vines, and tentacles are inexhaustible and inexhaustibly useful”

Of course, Chen Fann was aware of that. The reason he did this was to make use of Forest Troll’s rapid regenerating ability to build a balanced magic formation.

Chen Fann could have easily killed the Forest Troll through the old whisper despite it having a vigorous life force. As long as he kept whispering, he could completely deplete the Forest Troll’s life force to the point where he would eventually die of exhaustion.

However, he couldn’t do that.

This was mainly because the old whisper was a full-range indiscriminate attack. With himself as the only exception, all the surrounding life in the attack range would be affected. If he wanted to kill the Forest Troll using the old whispers, then all the treants within a few kilometers would also be affected.

He wants  to subdue the treants race, so he didn’t want to take their lives in vain.

The only reason he pointlessly kept chopping off the Forest Troll’s vine tentacles was to complete the Balanced magic formation. As long as Forest Troll was trapped in it, at that time, he would be able to keep the treants away from his attack range.

Afterwards, he would safely chant the old whisper and obliterate the Forest Troll completely.

“100 kg… 90 kg… 80 kg…”

Whilst cutting, Chen Fann inwardly counted how much more weight he needed to reach the same weight as the Forest Troll.

The Balance Profound was an ability that depended on the situation with a high degree of freedom. Whether it could be successful depended on whether the caster could find a balanced reference, which was commonly known as the Balance Point.

Balance existed between all things, so it wasn’t a fixed parameter. It is varied, and as such, anything could be balanced. Therefore, the caster needed to find a balance point and then create a Balance formation.

The Balanced Counter Number that Chen Fann had found for the Forest Troll was the weight.

Since the Forest Troll had the ability to revive almost infinitely, he could maximize on its ability. By cutting off the regrown vine tentacles, the moment they weighed as much as the Forest Troll, the Balance formation would be triggered instantly.

Subsequently, the Forest Troll would be subjected to the equilibrium force and would forever be trapped within it.

As for why Chen Fann knew the Forest Troll’s weight, it was naturally because of the Balanced Profound Meaning’s ability.

When he found Forest Troll’s Balanced Counter Number and built the Balanced formation, a scale automatically appeared under his feet, one that only he could feel.

One end of the scale was placed towards the Forest Troll. When its branches were cut off, the weight on the other end would become lighter, and when it grew again, it would become heavier. The weight would float back and forth, but the overall fluctuation was minimal.

The other end was placed on cut tentacles side, and its weight only increased.

Immediately the two ends of the scale were at an equilibrium, the Balance formation would be activated.

This was the Balanced Profound Meaning!

Finally, with Chen Fann’s efforts, the two ends of the scale were finally balanced.

“Tremble, Forest Troll!

Now I’ll let you experience the terror of the equilibrium!”
