Ch 311: First Encounter in the Center! Absorb Magic Power?!

“Haah!”

Sizzle! Whoosh—!

A short shout, accompanied by the hiss of lightning piercing the air and a rapid gale.

In an instant, the greatsword in Enrique’s hand had already been swung out with the force of the charge, slashing at the shadow in front of Fran like lightning.

【Swift Thunder Strike】

Thump…!

The sound of the slash was very dull!

Enrique immediately realized that the feel of the attack was wrong, it was as if he was slashing at a tree!

Even if he was holding a greatsword, it shouldn’t be so difficult to cut through.

Could it be harder than the Gale Flying Dragon’s scales?

Shua la la…

The shadow, after receiving this blow, suddenly flung out several whip-like tentacles, enveloping Fran and Enrique.

In a hurry, the expression on Enrique’s face was not flustered at all, but rather had a hint of confidence.

Greatswords are not clumsy weapons!

Enrique’s figure sank, and he retreated with one foot, drawing his sword.

The hilt held in one hand suddenly appeared to flicker like a phantom the moment the other hand gripped it.

【Mighty Sword】【Momentum Slash】【Double Slash】

Counterattack upward slash!

“If I can’t cut through, then I’ll knock you away!”

Enrique waved his arms, which had swelled up a size, and the greatsword slammed the shadow into the sky!

In a flash of lightning, an extremely fast confrontation and counterattack!

‘It’s Windmill Sword…’

Mos thought to herself, her eyes flashing with golden light, clearly seeing everything that had just happened.

Just now, the blade that was originally slashing downwards had strangely appeared under the shadow, looking as if it had passed through it.

However, that was just Enrique using his hands as a lever to quickly swing the blade from the side to underneath.

‘Not bad!’

Mos praised in her heart, then looked towards the shadow in the sky.

“Illumination Spell!”

Lizbella used magic, and a white ball of light burst into a burst of light in mid-air.

It wasn’t until this moment that everyone truly saw what was attacking.

Da!

The shadow in mid-air twisted and turned, landing steadily on the ground.

A jet-black exterior, a streamlined body, and a pair of eyes flickering with ghostly light quietly stared at everyone.

“Shadow Panther?!”

In just an instant, Fran recognized the Demonic Creature, letting out a low cry.

But soon he realized something was wrong.

The timing is wrong!

Shadow Panthers are rare Demonic Creatures that only move in the dead of night, it’s impossible to encounter them at this time.

And that attack method…

“…Mimic Magic Vine!”

Fran’s voice was low, filled with deep vigilance.

“Be careful! The branches of the Mimic Magic Vine can simulate the Demonic Creatures it has killed!”

“Although it can’t simulate the abilities of the Demonic Creatures, the vine itself has the ability to absorb Magic Power, don’t get entangled by their tentacles!”

Absorb Magic Power?!

Mos’s eyes widened suddenly, and a shock came from her heart!

At this moment, everyone heard Fran’s words and immediately showed a knowing expression.

“No wonder Molly’s Reconnaissance suddenly failed, these guys are almost like ordinary plants as long as they don’t move.”

Lizbeya said in a low voice, her fingers lightly touching the bowstring, her eyes vigilantly surveying the surroundings.

Plants are not animals, it’s impossible for there to be only one branch!

Where is the main body?!

Everyone silently gathered together, neither too close nor too far apart, but intentionally or unintentionally protecting Mos behind them.

“Molly, you have to be careful later, Magic Plants are different from ordinary Demonic Creatures.”

Salina’s eyes scanned left and right, and she whispered to Mos to popularize knowledge.

Unfortunately, Mos simply didn’t have the mind to pay attention right now.

“Absorb Magic Power…”

Her mouth slowly transmitted a faint murmur.

“Magic Plants that are not active are difficult to detect even with Magic Power fluctuations, the only way is to use bait.”

Salina didn’t notice and continued to speak, her hand also groping in the satchel around her waist.

“Temperature, light, smell, vibration… basically, any condition that can disrupt environmental changes can trigger Magic Plants.”

In the current environment, the condition that can cause the greatest change is…

Light!

Flashbang!

Salina’s hand pulled out from the satchel, and three jet-black pellets instantly shot out in all directions.

At the same time, Lizbella also raised her staff.

“Illumination Spell · Flash Burst!”

Bang bang bang! Deng——

Light enough to cause temporary blindness instantly enveloped a range of several hundred meters.

Buzzing…

In an instant, everyone felt a slight tremor coming from the ground beneath their feet.

“Roar~!”

The Mimic Black Panther branch, which had been quietly watching everyone, suddenly let out a howl, and its figure flashed as it pounced towards everyone.

“Enrique, don’t get entangled!”

“Uhn ah!”

Enrique agreed, and once again slashed out horizontally with the sword in his hand.

【Sword Wave Slash】

A pure Magic Power Sword Qi wave poured out, pushing the Mimic Black Panther back again.

Rumble…!

The next moment, the distant earth began to heave violently!

One vine after another drilled out of the ground like giant pythons, turning into a surging tide of beasts and sweeping towards everyone.

Roar roar oww~~ Roar ah ah ah ah…

The angry howls of the group of beasts echoed in everyone’s ears.

“It’s out!”

Fran shouted loudly, and the shield he held up moved closer to his body.

“Gale Shield! Whirlwind Barrier! Swift Wind Blessing!”

Lizbella’s magic was cast one after another, and a spiral storm enveloped everyone.

“Run!”

With a loud shout, Fran and his party turned around and ran away without hesitation.

“Molly, I’m counting on you for Reconnaissance!”

“Lead us in a direction away from the Demonic Creatures!”

Fran shouted as he ran.

However, he did not receive a reply.

Fran looked back, his expression suddenly stunned.

“Where’s Molly?”

At this moment, everyone else who heard this was also stunned.

“Huh?!”

It wasn’t until this moment that everyone noticed that one person was missing from the team!

The running team suddenly stopped, and their eyes looked back.

Mos… was still standing in place!

“Molly?! Hurry up and leave…”

Everyone shouted wildly and ran towards Molly again.

Salina was the fastest, and in the blink of an eye, she ran to Mos’s side again, reaching out to grab her hand.

“Molly, hurry…”

“Salina, do you think Magic Plants have Magic Cores?”

Mos was held by Salina’s hand, turned to look at her, and asked with a light smile.

Salina frowned, a little headache and helplessly pulling Mos, while saying:

“Ah? Magic Cores, of course…”

As she spoke, her eyes were still anxiously looking in the distance.

The Mimic Beast Tide was getting closer and closer, they had to leave the range of the vines quickly!

“…they do, Molly, let’s hurry…”

But before Salina could finish speaking, Mos raised her hand towards the Mimic Beast Tide.

Thump——!

The violent vibration sound at close range interrupted Salina’s voice.

Her eyes swept behind her, her expression suddenly stagnant, and at the same time, Fran and others who had rushed back.

Pu Tong!

A huge body of ten meters high, the white jade-like body bounced happily a few times, stirring up bursts of ripples on its body.

Transport Slime · Water Storage State!

“This…!”

Fran, Lizbeya, Lizbella, Salina, Enrique, all stood there dumbfounded with their mouths wide open, only chaotic exclamations remained in their minds!

Holy crap!

What is this?! So big!

Magical Beast? Slime?!

Speaking of which, isn’t this too big?!

“Mo…”

Salina looked at Mos, opened her mouth to speak, but saw Mos wriggling her lips, and a low murmur slowly came out:

“Annihilate them, Aggregate Barrage…”

In a scene like a frame-by-frame animation, the ten-meter-high Slime instantly collapsed to half a meter in size!

The moment the water flow was completely pushed out from the finger-sized mouth, the nearly million-fold atmospheric pressure composed of a series of Talents such as Gravity, Water Flow, Flames, and Magic Power gave the water flow the kinetic energy to surpass any weapon and destroy any substance!

Jiew——!!!

The gale howled, and the earth retreated!

The water flow, which was almost turning into plasma, burst out, instantly piercing through a distance of dozens of meters, piercing through the surging tide of beasts!

The earth spread out to both sides like a wave, and the jet-black scorched gully reached deep underground!

Boom————!!!

“Ahhhhh——”

Fran and his party were so shocked that they screamed, suppressing their bodies to prevent the violent aftershocks from blowing them away.

Gradually, their figures were swallowed by the white light.

…

…………

The attack was fleeting, but at this moment, everyone’s hearts felt as if a century had passed.

The entire forest seemed to have fallen into extreme silence.

Fran slowly opened his stinging eyes, his eyes still carrying the undissipated fear.

In the blurry vision, he only saw a girl hopping towards the crimson earth.

And in his ears, the girl’s innocent humming gradually faded away

“Hum hum hum~??~Magic Core~! ??~Hurry up and find my little Magic Core…”

Fran: “…”
