<h4>Chapter 661: Special Purple Energy</h4>
The most crucial factor to consider when battling mages from the Magus World was their tendency to rely on their wits.
Sein’s strength wasparable to that of the bizarre Rank Two nt creature. Yet, his strategic acumen often tipped the scales in his favor.
Blindly acting recklessly was just not his style.
With over two months of war experience, Sein had honed his tactics against the Verdant Leaf World’s nt creatures.
Daniel and the others operated with practiced efficiency; this was not their first time doing this kind of task.
Previously, they had sessfully uprooted an intact ancient durian tree and transported it back to the fortress camp.
As Daniel and his teammenced their strike, Sein simultaneously engaged the enemy.
Transforming into his elemental body, he soared directly toward the tree.
The verdant mes he unleashed dramatically raised the temperature in the deep underground pit, with waves of intense heat radiating around him.
The area, likely above an underground river, was damp with umted water vapor, and the soil was saturated with wet mud.
The heat rapidly transformed the environment into a sweltering zone.
Although the lesser aquatic races were serving the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring, it was unwise for too many allies from the Magus World to perish in the war.
Despite the minimal impact of their deaths on the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring’s substantial interests, excessive casualties could tarnish its reputation.
Moreover, Sein knew that his mentor, Lorianne, remained intent on conquering the other low-level dendro elemental ne.
This ongoing Verdant Leaf World War served as both practice and preparation.
A sessful campaign in this microne would smooth the path to the next conquest.
By then, having tasted victory, these lesser aquatic races would likely continue fighting for the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring.
The verdant me, potent enough to challenge Rank Two adversaries, was particrly lethal against nt creatures.
As the verdant mes erupted, Sein observed the trunk of the strange nt visibly shudder in response to the intense heat.
Sein unleashed a barrage of spells from his Verdant me Heart Rod—Verdant Pyro Ray, me Mand, and Verdant me Eye. They struck the exposed branches of the strange nt that were tens of meters long, delivering a devastating blow.
Bing a Rank Two mage had significantly enhanced both Sein’s casting speed and mana reserves, surpassing those of Rank One mages.
Furthermore, years of innovative research building on his existing spell knowledge had led to the creation of entirely new magic.
One such innovation was the me Mand, an area-of-effect spell developed a few years ago, designed for mid to small coverage.
Under Sein’s precise control over elemental power and mana, several immense me flowers, each about three meters in diameter, blossomed and exploded in the target areas.
The explosions were strategically arranged to maximize destructive power and minimize energy waste, making this spell especially effective in confined spaces.
After several explosive rounds, the grotesque nt visibly shriveled. Its bizarre fleshy tumors also dried out, emitting a distinct burnt smell.
During this chaos, the Rank One Green Mitten Sea Crab Chief seized the moment to escape the nt’s grasp.
Despite its battered condition, with a cracked pincer and three broken legs out of a dozen, the crab chief managed to scuttle away swiftly, only slightly hindered in its movements.
While the chief escaped, the fate of other crabs was less fortunate.
The overwhelming strength disparity resulted in over a dozen Giant Green Mitten Crabs being crushed by the hard branches, while others were pierced by sharp thorns.
Their initial struggles were intense but gradually slowed to a feeble twitch.
Enraged by the sight, Sein chanted rapidly, intensifying his magical assault. A potent Radiant Heart Light Pir erupted from the tip of his magic rod.
The attack that could severely injure most Rank Two creatures pierced through the trunk of the strange nt.
The impact created arge hole, visibly agitating the nt further.
Peering into the gaping wound, Sein’s attention was captured by the purplish sap and fibers within.
“Purple color? And this special element energy...” Sein murmured in astonishment.
Several branches swung toward him as beams of purplish light shot out from the tumors on them.
Sein observed that each release of energy noticeably reduced the size of the tumors.
This energy was certainly not inherent to the strange giant tree itself, as Sein detected no dendro life elements within it. Instead, it was infused with familiar pyro elemental particles.
“What in the world is this?” Sein marveled.
The Astral Realm’s billions of nes teemed with bizarre species. Even in such a tiny microne, he could still find a nt that astonished him.
Sein remained unfazed as the branches approached him.
Although the tumors on the branches could shoot out energy beams with special pyro elemental particles, the tree was weak against fire.
The elemental mes enveloping Sein’s body red up.
From a distance, it appeared as if a fiery ze was tearing through a cage of dense, twisted branches.
“I’ming!”
Despite Sein’s capability to handle the situation alone, a voice echoed from above the pit.
In her devil form, Natalya hovered, pping her ck wings powerfully. She hurled her massive ming sword directly at the roots of the nt.
Wrapped in a rich pyro elemental battle qi, she dove like a ming meteorite straight toward the nt cage imprisoning Sein.
Verdant green and crimson mes merged in a spectacr disy of power that far exceeded that of a typical Rank Two entity, colliding with the tree.
The ensuing eruption sent a towering pir of fire skyward.
<i>RUMBLE!</i>
The sound of loud rumbles spread in all directions.
The ground fractured extensively across the area, and due to the proximity of an underground river, water began seeping out, swiftly rushing toward the lower terrain.
