A Frightening Situation
Meanwhile,
Ray's mother fought against the apparition of the tree fiercely. Locked in combat, Ray's mother tried to avoid getting hit as much as she could but she was only human. She tried everything but there were some attacks that would eventually hit her and those attacks piled up.
Albeit slowly, the damage took toll on her body and that was being reflected on the result of the battle.
Slowly, the battle started to tilt in the apparition's favor while all that Ray's mother was left to do was either to dodge or block the attacks.
On the other hand, Ray was trying his best to damage the tree as much as he could. However, that was proving to be much harder than before. The branches were continuously going after him and unlike before, he didn't have the help of his mother to fight against the branches and that put Ray in a pickle.
