The canyon fortress below is suffering from destruction.
High in the sky, Ronald, who was still floating, was admiring the spell that Nicole had just cast.
"I thought that since you got two sets of rune systems, you would devote yourself wholeheartedly to the study of runes. But I didn't expect that while developing new skills, your original spells would continue to deepen and become stronger."
"Nicole, I really have you!"
Ronald's emotion came from the bottom of his heart.
Just now, when he brought Nicole and Costat to the top of the canyon fortress.
Through the investigation of multiple spells such as terrain and human perception, they have determined that there is indeed a caster of the [Nine Rings Secret Society] hidden here. Ronald is also preparing to take action himself and attack this place as always.
But before Ronald took action.
Nicole responded first, showing her strength as an ace investigator and a true top original code holder!
The girl took out a few seeds from the pocket she carried.
After carefully carving a string of runes, she threw the seeds downward.
The moment it touches the soil.
Huge vitality bursts out from these tree species, and the seeds transformed and blessed by runes grow rapidly like pea sprouts in fairy tales, spreading their roots deeply downwards.
Ordinary plants absorb water from nature and nutrients from the soil, and grow slowly under the sunlight.
But the seeds Nicole dropped completely went against this common sense.
This kind of plant uses magic power as the entire energy source for its growth, and has completely exceeded its own growth limits. Especially with the support of Nicole's unstinting magic power, these plants that quickly devour magic power and grow will soon cover the east side of the canyon.
Cover thoroughly and continue to spread to the soil below.
The thick and powerful roots are tied to each other, the earth and rocks are broken by the power of life, and then the two are crowded together without distinguishing each other.
At this moment, look far away.
The east side of the canyon does not look like a cliff, but rather like a handful of taro that has just been pulled out of the soil. Only among the fruits that have been carefully cultivated, you can see the stone soil entangled in the gaps between the plant roots.
This scene is even just on the surface.
Under the invisible land, the plants cultivated by Nicole found the fortress hidden inside the cliff, destroyed it wantonly, and then greedily devoured it. The barrier originally used to hide the place was also destroyed by its hands.
The tearing of the barrier accelerates the growth of the plant, because it relies on swallowing magic power to grow.
Then, tragedy followed.
This plant can grow freely with the help of Nicole's magic power, and can also swallow the magic power of other casters.
In the underground space with a closed escape route, those [Nine Rings Secret Society] casters who were originally performing tasks here naturally became the source of nutrients that these plants were looking for.
The roots, which are meant to absorb nutrients, wrap around these living people who have no way to escape, then crush them into pieces and greedily absorb the flesh, flesh and magic power within them.
A huge fortress, a hidden building that could withstand the army and even play a major role in strategic events...
Under the erosion of the plants driven by Nicole, it and its residents were turned into ruins.
Kaka——
The situation worsened, and a huge crack spread on the cliff.
The plants that grew uncontrollably expanded the entire east side of the canyon in a circle. The sudden increase in weight also made the stable soil unable to bear this weight, and then tilted sideways.
Winter - boom -
Accompanied by violent sounds.
The cliffs torn apart by the weight, and the plants wrapped in soil, mixed together and smashed onto the cliff on the other side of the canyon.
When Ronald and the others looked down from a high enough altitude, they saw a straight-line canyon, with a twisted and scabbed sphere turning out from one side to the center, like
The giant on the earth slowly opened his eyes at this moment.
This situation lasted until Nico stopped supplying magic power and the target of plant hunting was exhausted.
These plants that have lost their source of growth will wither and shrink at the same rapid rate.
"..."
"Well - actually this is quite tiring."
Just in front of this shocking scene, Nicole's somewhat weak voice sounded at an inappropriate time.
Ronald turned his head and looked.
Sure enough, I found that Nicole's palm, where she had just calmly dropped the seeds, was trembling uncontrollably - she was very weak.
The investigator girl is still the same guy Ronald knew.
When facing a powerful enough enemy, Nicole would not hesitate to take action with all her strength, pouring all her magic power into spells, striving to completely destroy the opponent with overwhelming force.
And shows the cost of such exaggerated attacks.
It's just physical fatigue.
Just like Ronald had seen several times before, after completing this spell, Nicole was naturally unable to maintain her normal state due to excessive consumption. The runes engraved on her body in advance were her last resort to protect herself.
means.
Perhaps the only difference from the past is that Nicole is strong enough now.
Therefore, under this almost all-out attack, she was able to stand tremblingly on the spot without fainting immediately.
"You guys...you really need to make some adjustments to your fighting methods."
Ronald smiled and cursed with a mocking expression among friends:
"It's okay if I'm here today. If one day you really overturn because of this fighting method, you will be in big trouble!"
Nicole used her little strength to retort strongly:
"It's just because you're here that I do this!"
"If I didn't have a trustworthy companion by my side, of course I wouldn't use such outrageous attacks!"
Having said that, Nicole wanted to share her views on trusting companions with Ronald.
He just didn't wait for the investigator girl to speak again.
A powerful and dizzying wave of magic power suddenly erupted from the direction of the plant that had lost its magic power and was withering rapidly.
Ronald and the three of them all lowered their heads and looked down.
It was immediately discovered that the source of this magic power was located in the huge sphere stuck above the canyon.
"Hey, this is too exaggerated."
Nicole couldn't help but exclaimed.
Because just on the ground where her spell had just ravaged, a flame composed of magic power actually backfired on the plants that could swallow up the magic power, and burned the huge plant body like gangrene attached to the bones!
In just a few breaths, Ronald and the other three noticed it and lowered their heads to observe.
The flames burned along the trees created by Nicole, and soon turned all combustible materials into blazing flames, and then illuminated the early morning canyon like a bloody dusk.
Even high in the sky.
The three Ronalds also clearly felt the temperature of the raging flames below.
At the same time, it is also obvious that this flame contains a threat to all practitioners!
