The Battle Continues

Jorge Great, the Great, was looking at the fight unfolding in front of him with gritted teeth and clenched fists. He felt helpless that he could not go and help San Meili. Jorge had promised himself that he would protect San Meili, but the first time San Meili is in danger, he can do nothing. He is helpless, seeing San Meili surrounded by 10 Rank 3 magical beasts, all working together to inflict the greatest suffering and a terrible death on San Meili.

BOOOM

BANG

ROAAAARR

San Meili created several roots that attached themselves to the paws of 3 magical beasts. The roots soon joined together still holding the 3 magical beasts, creating a tree made completely of twisted roots. The magical beasts that were caught in the roots struggled to free themselves, but it was all in vain.

They began to wither away, the blood soon leaving their bodies, creating a blood-red fruit, the only fruit of this strange tree. The magical beasts soon stopped moving, as the life left their bodies. Dodging the Two-Colored Cheetah's acid attack, San Meili couldn't dodge in time a blast of flames coming from a Berserk Bear, burning its scales near its tail. With a low grunt of pain, San Meili retreated to the side of the tree made of roots, and let a root pierce his body, greedily sucking his blood. After a while, the root moved away from San Meili, as the magical beasts on the other side came to his side.

"Jorge, give the fruit to Hellen and ask her to call your father, tell her that her mission is over, and she does not need to follow me and my mother." San Meili's soft voice came up beside Jorge.

Jorge nodded, even though he knew that San Meili could not see. Jorge ran to the root tree, climbing up with unbelievable speed and picking the fruit, quickly returning to Hellen's side.

Hellen was half awake, half unconscious, perhaps she was awake solely because of the explosions coming from Amanda's battle. Smelling the fruit that carried the scent of San Meili's blood, Hellen's half-lost eyes twitched slightly, and soon her gaze focused on the fruit. The fruit seemed to have scales, its skin was thick and rough to the touch. Overcome with hunger, Hellen's fangs grew, and she stabbed her fangs into the fruit, and soon tasted divine fruit.

She regained consciousness when the energy she had expended was replenished. Panicking and wanting to know the situation of the others, she looked around. Realizing the situation, and knowing that she was unable to help more than a little, her face flushed with shame and anger at her own inability.

She felt incapable for not being stronger and being able to help on the front lines. She felt helpless that she couldn't help more with her runes. She felt completely useless!

What she didn't know, however, was that thanks to her runes, San Meili was still alive and kicking. Her runes increased San Meili's speed and stamina, and was the big deciding factor that made him dodge the acid and receive the flame attack.

Hellen's gaze became resolute, she had already begun to chant.

**************

I hate being surrounded. Ducking to the side, I narrowly dodge a wind blade. If it weren't for Hellen's help with her runes, I would already be dead. I have tried to learn runes for the past two years, but I have proven to be a total failure with these runes.

Puchi

Damn, that's what you get for being distracted in a fight. That damn bird of prey managed to get its claws into me, and now I'm off the ground. Looking at Lu Bao Shi, who is flying next to me, I send spiritual energy to her. Lu Bao Shi allows me to literally create a tree out of nothing, which was not possible before.

Lu Bao Shi's body glowed, and soon roots 170 feet (51.82 m) long emerged from the ground, sealing the bird's escape route and allowing me to bite its belly, momentarily paralyzing its movements.

CRAAAAA

The bird squawked, and began to fall. One of the long roots soon stopped my fall as the bird released its grip on my body. With a crash, the bird fell to the ground, I don't know if it is still alive or not.

When I returned to the ground, I realized there were only 5 magical beasts left. It doesn't make sense. I got rid of only 4 of them, I should have 2 more magical beasts. Looking around quickly, I noticed that a small fox, with dark fur that looked like the night sky, didn't move from start to finish, not attacking me at all. I was confused, but had no time to think about it.

Circulating my spiritual energy to the maximum, I swerved to the side, dodging the attack of a Sand Worm. Magical beasts that live most of their lives underground, coming out of it only to hunt. To the misfortune of such a magical beast, however, I was born almost deaf, and the vibrations from the ground that allowed me to 'see' and 'hear'.

I curled up with the Sand Worm. The shell of this disgusting and repulsive creature is hard as diamond, but its interior is unprotected and fragile. As long as my attack is not aimed at its shell, it will suffer damage!

Tightening my body as I listened to the grinding of the Sand Worm's shell, I focused my attention and senses. Soon, the roars of the magical beasts around me faded away, the Sand Worm's grunts and the sound of its shell breaking disappeared, the flashes and tremors of my mother's fight no longer bothered me, and I could see the whole battlefield.

In my past life, I had an exceptional divine sense, which allowed me to flee or react before danger came to me. I don't have that in my new life, so I have to make an effort to perceive everything around me.

When I find what I was looking for, I feel anger consume my being. The spiritual energy, which was controlled until now inside my body, begins to bubble up, threatening to break through the barriers I have put up. I tried to remain calm, but it was impossible.

ROAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRR

I raised my head and roared to the sky. Nature's judgment! A jet of green light shoots from my mouth into the fang-filled mouth of the Sand Worm. Immediately afterwards, I create as many roots as possible, and drive away all the magical beasts that were around me.

The reason for my anger? The magical beast that was missing, I found it, and it was not alone. 4 magical beasts that left to fight against my mother came back, and they were all trying to kill Jorge, or more precisely, Hellen, whom Jorge protected with all his strength.

They were all magical beasts that could hide their presence very well, and in such a chaotic battlefield, my mother and I could not notice their movement. Perhaps noticing the buffs that Hellen can give to her allies, they decided to finish her off right away. But this doesn't matter to me.

The important thing is that they tried to kill her... she is mine, nobody, not even the one who gave her life, has the right to kill her! Who do they think they are? Even if they had a thousand balls, I would still rip them all out!

The surrounding air began to crackle and distort. I would settle things quickly for the sake of the eternal who is only a few miles away, but my anger will not allow me to kill these unworthy beings before I make them beg to go to hell!
