Chapter 90. Entrance Exam (12)

Weekly Chapter (1/7)

He dodged Plantera’s punch again.

Then he swiftly attacked with his sword, but it only caused a slight scratch.

It’s useless.

This fight was pointless. He was too reckless.

Did I choose the wrong person?

Now she felt stupid.

Suddenly, the wooden sword in the man’s hand transformed into a Sapling.

Lilith was surprised.

What? Does he intend to hit the Plantera with it?

Plantera’s hand attacked from top to bottom. It passed close to the man.

At that moment, the Sapling clung to his palm like a spider’s web. The man clung to the Sapling like a monkey to a vine, so he floated in the air next to the palm.

When the Sapling became a wooden sword again, he leapt from the palm to the Plantera’s shoulder. His movements flowed like water.

“Huh…?”

Lilith looked at him from a distance.

The man thrust the wooden sword into the arm joint.

He attacked a weak point of the Plantera.

It felt like stabbing it with a tiny stick.

He thrust the sword several times into its shoulder joint. But it seemed useless.

“Why does he fight so recklessly?”

The Plantera hit the man’s body.

It was such a powerful hit that a normal person would have been near death.

“Ahh!”

Lilith covered her mouth with both hands as if she had been hit.

He crashed into the canyon.

The fight had ended absurdly.

Plantera, who had defeated the man, fixed her gaze on Lilith.

“……!”

The next target was her.

Plantera began to move toward her.

She turned and ran as fast as she could.

But Plantera caught up to her fast.

She tripped over a rock and fell to the ground.

She tried to get up again, but her legs were shaking.

She was so afraid that she began to cry.

She could not defend herself with her magic.

“Mom…”

La Plantera was ready to attack her.

“No, no…”

At that moment, a bright blue light emerged from the Plantera’s shoulder joint.

The Plantera swung its arm with all its might.

Lilith closed her eyes.

Immediately, there was an explosion.

Then there was a deep silence.

Lilith slowly opened her eyes.

“……!”

Right before Lilith, the Plantera’s palm halted.

There was something cold on her face. She wiped her face with her shaking hand.

It was white frost.

She couldn’t believe her eyes.

“That’s ridiculous.”

The Plantera’s upper right side was frozen.

The Plantera was trying to move its body.

Lilith remembered something.

Magic bomb?

The man didn’t just thrust the sword at it, but inserted a magic bomb.

She saw something between the Plantera’s stopped fingers. A man was approaching from deep in the canyon. As he swung his arm, a flash of light emerged.

The light hit the Plantera at an extraordinary speed.

She curled up due to the intense shockwave.

Plantera’s frozen upper body was completely shattered.

Wood fragments dispersed in all directions.

The entire right upper part of Plantera’s body disappeared. Soon, its left arm fell off.

Finally, the Plantera fell to the side.

Lilith quickly shook the fragments of the Plantera from her body.

It was all over.

Her heart was pounding.

A masked man staggered over from a distance.

He held a mysterious sword of light.

Cecil had climbed the rocks to reach the ridge.

Trisha said from below.

“Sister, are you all right?”

Cecil dusted off her clothes.

“Yes, can you throw me the telescope?”

“Yes.”

Cecil received the telescope.

She used the telescope to look at the Grace Range.

As the sun went down, the forest turned red.

But she hadn’t come here just to admire the view.

Cecil held her telescope toward the cave detour.

The Plantera’s upper body, which appeared suddenly over the thick forest, moved frantically.

Luna’s silver wolf spirits were biting at Plantera’s limbs.

And although her companions’ mages recited fire spells, they didn’t seem to be able to inflict much damage.

The battle had lasted three hours.

“Looks like Luna’s team is still fighting.”

Stitches flew toward Cecil.

She turned her eyes away from the telescope to receive the letters.

Her companions had also gone out to explore.

“Hmm… Abel has advanced…”

She was surprised when she read the letter that had information from the cannon.

The Guardian had been shattered.

Candy had gone there.

Cecil muttered,

“…Candy is very strong.”

He defeated the Guardian faster than any other applicant.
