Friendship... in the Shallowest Victory?

"Rena Helleborus."

Before I could discuss more with Robbie, rope-like vines broke out of the ground, grabbing all of the people in the settlement, and holding them still. He then spoke to all of them with a loud yet uncomfortable voice.

"Um, you guys are all annoying... so I'm raiding you now."

"Did we really need that declaration?" I asked.

"I don't know, I just felt like saying it."

"Fine then..."

After that, lots of the villagers began screaming and yelling as they frantically tried to break free from his plants. However, the grip of the vines was incredibly strong, even the toughest-looking villagers didn't seem to stand a chance against them.

For a few moments, various combat-oriented systems were activated. Explosions, attacks, pulses, the villagers tried a variety of tactics. However, as the dust settled from their desperate last-ditch attacks, they were still all held in place.

Robbie was definitely quite strong.
