Chapter 372: Defending the Tree
Facing Kai'Sa, who was within reach, vines stretched out from the vine wall and tried to drag her in and strangle her, but they couldn't reach her heels.
Kai'Sa ran as she let the tip of her fist spew purple fire. She adjusted the internal structure of her fist blade so that the flames were focused into a single beam, as sharp as a laser.
Then she plunged her fist into the rattan wall and ran around it at high speed.
Laser cutting, the vine wall left a weld-like track, and the vines could not be connected so quickly, and they were dragged down by their own weight and collapsed.
The vine wall collapsed, and the aura shield above it was shattered, and the moonlight once again shrouded the Shousheng tree.
Kai'Sa breathed a sigh of relief, but the evil spirit wasn't about to give up.
The top of the mountain began to tremble, more violently than before. The massive roots rolled up the soil viciously, and the vines writhed like vicious pythons, gathering together from all directions, and the black evil qi filled it like gum, turning it into a huge, deformed and terrifying thing!
"Another form? That's a big deal. Karn looked at the vine orb, thinking to himself that he had to stop it before it could endanger the Mori.
Without waiting for the monster to fully form, the two immediately took action.
Kaisha's shoulder pod unleashed a torrential rain of Acacia, which bombarded the vine balls one after another, blasting out flying vines that fell to the ground and smoldered, withered, and curled up to death.
Another round of plasma bombs crashed down and hit the inside of the rattan ball. But the monster seemed to have no core, and no amount of destruction could make it die instantly.
"Do you have to completely annihilate it to kill it?"
The vine ball wriggled and weaved two leaves...... Or rather, the two arms, the dome of vicious vines, the black oil slick on the surface blocking the blazing plasma missile.
Kai'Sa wanted to bomb it to the slag, but she didn't expect to be stopped so quickly.
Since the rattan ball has grown arms, the next step is to grow feet, otherwise it is no longer spherical, it will not be able to roll to the side of the Shousheng tree, and it must rely on the walking foot.
But at this time, there was a series of violent explosions in the vine ball, and the strong purple light forcibly shattered half of its limbs, and the vine ball was corroded by the void from the inside, and the limbs woven by the vines fell off and collapsed.
Corrupted spirits may not notice, or may not care...... The ethereal spirits who cleaned up the vines before were still alive, and they kept biting the vines, and they were swept into the vines and used as filling materials.
And these ethereals were created by Karn. He can create and he can destroy.
The Ethereal Spirit exploded into a violent explosion in what could be described as a heroic destruction, tearing the vine monster from within. Karn, who had been spying on the spiritual realm, caught a glimpse of a fallen spirit hiding in a hollow thrown by the explosion.
Karn knew in his heart that if he killed this thing, it would be over.
With the help of time magic, he can achieve as fast as Kai'Sa in his burst state.
He sped himself to the extreme, while using his magic to lock onto the spirit, extending the time it took to burrow into the vine orb. Then he escaped into the mezzanine between the two worlds, passed through the layers of blockade, and slashed the present world!
Time magic also seemed to prolong the time it took for the spirits to die, and it wasn't until Karn stood at the other end of the orb and withdrew its blade that the massive monster, like its limbs, crumbled and crumbled to the ground.
"Such a big monster, I thought it would be very troublesome to deal with, but I didn't expect to be killed by you all of a sudden."
Kai'Sa lifted her helmet and took a deep breath of the thin but fresh air of the mountains. The stench of the monster was slowly dissipating with its death.
"There's also your credit for beating it into another form, and you can see at a glance that the evil spirit that controls the vines is hiding in the ball." Karn removed his helmet as well, and said, "Like many void creatures, if you destroy the core, you will die if you don't die, and no matter how big your size is, it won't work. ”
"But the bigger you get, the easier it is to hide the core, and I don't even notice where the evil spirit is hiding. But Shoushengki was finally saved. Kai'Sa smiled, not at all embarrassed.
This battle of guarding the Wood Guards was not easy, because of the nature of the Void Power, their protection ability was very weak.
"The natural magic on these vines is dissipating, so absorb it."
So the two of them began to clean up the scene, picking up everywhere in the mountains, each piece of vine was a container of corrupted natural magic, but the kind that had been overturned. Such a large number of vines would definitely not be able to deal with them all, and the vines that had lost their natural magic eventually turned into rotten wood.
"Although the miasma has been expelled, the traces left by our battle cannot be concealed, what can we do?"
Kai'Sa looked around, the vines that broke through the earth nearly plowed the soil from the top of the mountain, and their battle inevitably left scorch marks on the ground, and the corroded black soil could smell the void as soon as it got closer.
This is obviously not easy to fool.
Be confident, you can't even fool a three-year-old child.
Karn looked around and felt that it was impossible to cover up the traces. The ground was full of withered rattans, and it was not far from dawn, and it was impossible to restore the mountain.
"What else can I do, just go." Kahn said.
"Huh?" Kai'Sa looked at him puzzled: "Just do nothing?" ”
"The evil spirit has been removed, and we don't have to go up the mountain anymore, so we don't have to worry about getting caught on the mountain. And ......," Karn said, grabbing Kai'Sa by the shoulder, "We've all been to the mountain so many times, and I guess Master Yi has already found out, but it hasn't been broken." Only you would be foolish to think that he doesn't know anything, maybe there is a conventional rule between us and him, so he never goes up the mountain at night and staggers with us. ”
Kai'Sa pursed her lips, "If you have a good brain, then divide it with me." ”
Karn smiled and put the hood on her, "Let's go down the mountain first, this place has nothing to do with us." ”
The two hurried down the mountain, and when they came to the bottom of the mountain, dawn came.
When the first rays of the morning sun passed under their feet and quickly extended to the mountain, the two of them clearly saw at the bottom of the mountain that the Shousheng tree was growing rapidly on the bare mountaintop.
There are no corrupt vines that encroach on the growth space, and the Shousheng Tree can grow without any scruples.
Its roots covered the withered vines and village ruins on the mountain, holding the ploughed soil in place, digging deep into the dirt and occupying the entire mountain.
In the blink of an eye, the Shousheng tree has grown incomparably large, with lush branches and leaves, and when viewed from a distance, it looks like a red umbrella has been stretched out on the mountain.
Seeing that most of her winter's hard work has borne fruit, Kaisha's relieved smile is like a bright morning sun rising at the last moment of the night.
