Chapter 1671 Labyrinth [7]

Remelia didn't end it with one attack.

In the time Valerie spent dodging, she'd already corrected her posture and started walking down the corridor to track her.

She pushed her hands to the side, creating heat barriers that blocked off the nearby corridors. She wouldn't let Valerie escape a second time.

Luckily for her, escape wasn't in the plan anymore.

When Valerie returned to the corridor, she was ready for war.

BOOM!

Valerie had abilities very similar to Elvira. Wood was most definitely an element that could take one to the top of the world, however, it couldn't do so on its own.Diiscover new stories at novelhall.com

The element had just as many drawbacks as it did advantages. Unless one could expand it beyond just wood and vines, one wouldn't be able to achieve anything at all.

It was a problem that a lot of the base elements shared. To raise their power beyond the worldly limits imposed on them was vital.

Fire practitioners would attempt to comprehend the concept of rebirth that was associated with fire. They'd try to touch on higher laws like life or death to enhance the element they had an affinity for.

Valerie had yet to expand her element properly, but she'd just recently understood how important it was for her to find other methods to release her power.

With her focus on vitality, Valerie tried to connect to life to create branches and roots that could manipulate the life within other things and become indestructible through the sheer force of their vitality.

It was still a theory, so she didn't have plans to test it in this round of the competition.

However, since Remelia had become a training dummy in her mind, she brought it out anyway.

A new type of root burst forth from the ground below. In essence, it did look the same as the ones she'd summoned before. But, it was coated in a bright green aura that matched Remelia's ambient heat in environmental control.

The moss on the labyrinth walls grew into larger, more dangerous plants. The ground was instantly covered in grass tinged in flames as it came in contact with Remelia's aura.

Valerie struck before the enemy could once again.

She had only summoned a single root, but that meant that her precision control was at another level.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Remelia kept the same nonchalant attitude that she'd maintained thus far, flicking her fingers to throw an even more superheated wave of wind into Valerie.

She survived last time because she dodged. This time, she wouldn't have that opportunity.

It was respectable that she tried at all, but that was it. At the end of the day, Valerie was not her opponent.

Or so she thought.

BANG!

Her heatwave slammed into the singular root that separated it from Valerie.

Instead of moving, Valerie pushed more mana into the construct, absolutely trusting its ability.

And that trust was not misplaced.

With mana at its disposal and Valerie's control directing it, the root became more than just a thick piece of wood.

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

One by one, the root destroyed the geysers before they could do a single thing to Valerie. It approached Remelia, who already had her hand out for another attack.

Unfortunately for her, Valerie wasn't planning to let her dominance continue.

The root she'd created was amazing for defense as seen by its ability to trap heat without bursting into flames and ash.

However, how was she supposed to attack?

The basic method of just using it as a blunt weapon seemed to be the most obvious choice, but that was far too limiting.

How did a wood dragon use its element?

The barbaric methods were reserved for young dragons who couldn't understand the more complex ones.

Real wood dragons had techniques that could turn wood into a far greater force.

"Rot."

VOOOOOOOM!

The charred surface of the root peeled off. A rush of wind picked up the ashes and blasted them towards Remelia.

It didn't look like it was powerful, but there was a force contained within that wind that was transferred to every bit of dust and ash that it carried.

Remelia's eyes widened slightly.

There was indeed a way to avoid the three-step process.

That was if the enemy was able to make her feel danger even once.

The only people who had ever struck fear in her heart were people she could never touch no matter how much she grew.

The only people who made her feel danger were those with greater talent, not power.

It was a feeling deep within her lineage, and though it seemed like it would be easy to meet this requirement, it took a lot to make Remelia specifically feel danger.

But, as the rushing wind came closer, that feeling rose to prominence.

Danger.

Valeriehad the capability tomake her feel it too.

And if that was the case, then there was no need for a process anymore.

She just needed to aim for the kill.

No matter what it took to get it.
