Chapter 317 - Just A Little Bit More.

Once the thorny seed got in contact with the ground, it came to life and began burrowing into the ground. At this time some of the beasts had recovered and were about to continue their pounce at the human, but that was when the ground began rumbling.

Their instincts were screaming at them that danger was around the corner, but the berserk effect of the beast tide was seemed to be stronger.

They soon continued their charge at Tessie, but once they got into range, red thorny plant vines twice as thick as usual, erupted from below and began rapping and constricting some of the beasts.

Some of them had managed to dodge the initial attack, but as they kept on running forward more plant vines erupted from below, eventually capturing all of them.

At the same time, the ground below Tessie began quaking, and in a matter of seconds, a tree that was 3 meters in height rose from below.

"What happened? Where are they?" With the raised height, Tessie looked towards the wall to check how far the team was away from her but she didn\'t see any sign of them or any team.

"There is nothing they can\'t handle meaning there was most likely a change of plans. Besides if something went wrong, then they would have taken us out of here." From her train of thoughts, she concluded that there was a general change of plan since she couldn\'t see members of other teams too. So the only thing she could do was continue defending till they arrived.

Turning back to the problems around her, Tessie noticed that some of the beasts that had been bound by the blood drain vines had managed to escape and had continued moving forward.

She wasn\'t worried about them because within the area of the Mother seed\'s effect, everywhere underground was covered by the roots which could continuously produce more vines as long as she didn\'t run out of mana.

What she was worried about were the agile beasts that were using the backs of the constricted beasts to get closer to her.

Just like she had expected, the beasts that had managed to escape didn\'t move far before getting captured again by the thorny vines. The problem was that the piggybacking beasts were getting closer.

"Just a little bit more time for the blood-draining vines to charge up the mother seed." With the plant vines currently being occupied by the beasts below, Tessie had no choice but to get her hands dirty.

Water wheel!

The humidity of the area around her began increasing to the point water droplets became visible as they continuously came together to form a water wheel behind Tessie.

The water wheel was one of the spells of a submerger (the champion realm of the water element). It doubled the power of water spells and increased spell casting speed by helping them skip the process of conjuring water.

Just like the fire element, for a submerger to cast a water spell they had to conjure the water before shaping it for whatever spell they had in mind.

The water wheel was a spell that continuously gathered water from the surroundings meaning all the submerger had to do was continuously cast spells.

"You\'ve got this Tessie… Show Blake that he hasn\'t been wasting his time in training you." Tessie tried to motivate herself as she saw that a group of piggybacking wargs were not too far from the mother tree.

The alpha warg which was the closest pounced on Tessie, but she had already seen this move a thousand times to know how to counter it.

She fired off a mana bomb at the alpha warg and before it was sent flying away, she tied a water whip to its neck while connecting the other end to the neck of another warg.

The force sent the other warg flying alongside its alpha unto the ground where they were bound by blood drain vines.

"I need to speed up the charging process…" Tessie made the water wheel behind her to begin rotating when she saw that more beasts had begun piggybacking and were making their way towards her.

When some of the beasts got into Tessie\'s range, multiple water spells were continuously fired at the incoming beasts.

Some of the beasts that weren\'t affected much or had managed to dodge the attacks had managed to reach her, but that was when multiple water whips with sharp edges came out of the water wheel.

Tessie\'s goal was to speed up the charging process of the mother tree meaning her attacks were meant to be aimed at drawing more blood for the beasts. That was her attacks and those of the water wheel were more of penetrative and tear damage.

This was because every drop of blood that came in contact with vines or the trees was absorbed by the mother tree which in turn strengthened the vines and charged it up for the next phase.

"Can\'t they take a break?!" Tessie cursed as she beheaded a sklade with a water blade. She had killed over 20 beasts with the combination of the water wheel, mana bombs, and plant vines, but they just keep coming.

"Just a little bit more…" With her connection to the mother Tree, Tessie knew that she just had to last a little bit more.

…

At the moment they touched the ground, the trio and Luciano didn\'t waste time in sprinting Tessie\'s direction.

With his body shrouded in lightning arcs and Ebony and Ivory in his hands, Blake was cutting down every beast that came his way like a lawnmower cutting blades of grass.

By his side were Castiel and Luciano, their job was to prevent the beasts from flanking them. They made us of mostly explosive spells to cover more area and give them some breathing space. As for Brian, his job was to prevent beasts from catching up to them by changing the terrain or using either the earth or water element to block them off.

Their charge through the army of beasts was a very painstaking approach, but they didn\'t have any other better choice.
