I had just barely cleared the area as a large explosion rocked the earth, in the place I had just been, throwing a wave of snow in my direction.
Once the snow settled, I was able to see my opponent.
It was a 50-foot pear tree with a trunk several feet long. A ghastly face looked to have been growing out of the trunk with the two eye holes giving off a sinister yellow light. It kind of reminded me of the Great Deku Tree from the Legend of Zelda franchise.
From the branches came out a small bird that flew around in a circle several times before entering the mouth of the tree. It gave a shudder as if coming to life.

As the tree gave a ghostly wail, sharp roots grew out of the ground lashing at the air poised to strike. Some of the pears managed to fall out of the branches, exploding violently when they hit the ground. It was an imposing sight alright.
"…A partridge in a Trent tree. Clever," I commented with a roll of my eyes before jumping away as tree roots threatened to spare me from behind.
I used [Double Jump] to give me some altitude as I observed my opponent.
"It seems to have a decent defense and magical resistance. Weaknesses include cutting attacks and fire, with its main weak point being the bird. Alright then."
Opening the latch on the lunchbox letting loose a swarm of dragon figurines.
As they flew around me, cast [Puppetry] on them, taking control of them momentarily.
With a mental command I made them climb higher into the air before diving towards the Trent.
The tree, not being a fool, spotted them and used its branches to flick some of its explosive fruit in their direction.
The dolls however were undeterred by the volley of projectiles, gracefully flying between the gaps with amazing agility.
Once they were in range I gave the order and they all opened their tiny mouths letting loose cones of fire 10 ft in length.
The flames were quick to set the top of the tree on fire, the Trent giving off a painfilled roar as it tried to swat at the living flamethrowers out of the sky.
I watched from a distance as the dragons were easily winning over the large monster.
Normally these dragon figurines were designed to only give off a small puff of smoke or maybe a gout of flame strong enough to roast chestnuts, but I was unsatisfied with just that. That was why I had taken them apart and installed a Fire Shard into each of them, giving them a boost to their fire power.
Unfortunately, the one-sided battle couldn't continue any longer.
The tree gave a mighty yell and raised its roots to cover itself in a makeshift cage. It wasn't done yet as it slowly began to spin, picking up speed with every rotation.
"Wow," I subconsciously let out.
The tree was now spinning so fast that it was only a blur. Who knew a tree could be so fast?
Around me I noticed an increase in air flow. The snow was slowly being drawn toward the center of the whirling vortex that even now was going faster.
I almost couldn't believe my eyes as I saw the snow twister in front of me.
I called back some of the dragons for fear of losing them to the crushing force of the roots.
Taking out an acid bomb I threw it at the cyclone only for it to be sent right back at me.
"That's a pretty good defense," I thought before stabbing my rapier firmly in the ground when I noticed that I too was slowly being drawn in by force of the wind.
Despite its seemingly impenetrable defense I knew there had to be a weakness.
Unfortunately for it, I had already seen through it as I took control of the dragons I left perched on its branches. Using their claws and talons to cling to the bark the trio of dragons made their way into the mouth and eye holes of the living tree.
With a snap of my fingers they detonated their Fire Shard.
The wind immediately stopped as the tree exploded with the force of a whole stack of dynamite.
I shielded my face and body as best as I could from the debris, but a thick branch was still able to pierce my upper thigh.
Once the snow had settled I saw that the only thing left of the Trent was a wide stump, the partridge miraculously still alive, even if it was badly burnt by the blast.
Without a sound I took the stake and pulled it out of my leg, no wound was left behind thanks to [Gamer's Body].
Momentarily using [Observe] on it, I casually tossed the wood aside as I reached into my inventory and took out a dozen teddy bears, each with a zipper going horizontally across their stomachs. I casted [Puppetry] on each one and made them hide in the snow.

With skeptical eyes I took another acid bomb from my pouch and loped it toward the injured bird, only for it to be smashed by a root that shot out of the ground.
As I thought, it was a trap.
Seeing as its plan had failed, the bird gave an injured cry, causing the stump to glow green. It was using magic to reform its destroyed body.
That however was not something I could let happen, so I charged forward. I touched the fire rune on the base of my rapier and ran my finger all along the flat of the blade, causing flames to spring forth.
