Chapter 1758 Plants (2)

"Attack them!"
The soldiers roared while hitting the monsters with their weapons. A series of Magic Power attacks rained them down, causing a lot of casualties on the monster side. There were even explosive bullets that killed these monsters.
They had confidence in defeating these monsters since as long as they could kill the most monsters among their group, they had the chance to get the recommendation letter from Theo.
However, a series of weird monsters began to appear the moment they saw smoke rising in the air.
"Hey, look! There is smoke!"
"The forest starts burning? No, the Magician has been raining the forest down with water, so it's impossible to burn the forest right now."
"Then, the smoke…"
"I've just received the information from the commanders. There will be more monsters coming and that smoke is the signal. They're indicating another type of monster and he wants us to be careful!"
"Careful huh? I only know one thing!" The soldier smirked while slashing down the monster before him. "That's right. I only know I have to kill the monster in front of me to get the recommendation letter."
"!!!"
Suddenly, a vine came out of the ground and wrapped his ankle.
"What is this?" The guy widened his eyes, looking at the ground. He hurriedly stabbed the vine with his sword, but surprisingly, the vine moved like a snake, avoiding it.
After that, another vine came out, wrapping his other ankle. From that point, the vines began to climb his body.
"What is this?!" The guy shouted while trying to slash these vines.
The other soldiers near him were alarmed and looked at him. Two of them saw beasts coming toward them, so they hurriedly moved forward to stop them, giving time so that the others could help him.
However, it was too late. The vines were so durable that no normal swords could cut them. At the same time, the moment it began to cover the guy's body, it was the same as giving away his life.
"What is this? I can't move my body!" The guy gritted his teeth, trying to fight these vines but to no avail.
When the vines finally reached his hands, the guy began to move again, but this time according to the vines' will.
"What? My body is moving on its own!" The guy was surprised and tried to stop the vines but to no avail.
The vines wasted no time controlling the guy to move toward his teammates.
"What is this? Move away. I can't control my body!" The guy roared while seeing his body moving by itself. "STOOOPPPP!"
The guy had a horrified expression because he was about to strike his friend.
"What are you doing?!" his friend raised his weapon and blocked the strike once.
"I can't move my body!" He panicked, not knowing what to do. "Kill these vines. They're controlling me."
"I'll stop his sword. You guys help him." His friend shouted to the other two.
They nodded, planning to cut the vines.
But suddenly, they heard another scream. "Aaaaahhhhhh!"
They hurriedly turned around and saw one of the two people that stopped the beast suddenly fall down and get pounced on by the beast.
The monster itself wasn't that strong, so he wouldn't have any problems stopping it for a while. But when they saw his face, they realized something wasn't right with him.
"His face is purple?"
"Look, what are those rainbow-colored vines?"
"Poison?!"
They realized it too late because the other guy suddenly fell down, losing all the strength in his body. The monster didn't hesitate to take advantage of the situation and killed the weak soldier.
Seeing two of them had fallen and one of them was being controlled, one of them shouted, believing they had to inform the other groups as well. "We have to retreat!"
Staying alive and bringing the information was much more important.
"Are you kidding me? We're going to leave them here?" The controlled guy's friend couldn't help but shout. Obviously, he didn't want to leave his friend behind, especially in this situation.
But that hesitation cost him everything.
Because of his shouts, the other two had to stop to convince him to leave the battlefield for the time being.
And due to that, a rose suddenly appeared on top of his shoulder.
"Eh?!" The guy turned around and saw this rose. Although it didn't have eyes like the beasts, he could feel the rose's glare.
But after that, it was a tragedy. The rose's thorns suddenly expanded a hundred times of its size, piercing through his head and killing him.
There was no sound since almost his entire head was gone.
"What?!" The other one was shocked because he never expected his comrade would die just like that. But he was also going to suffer the same thing.
When he was about to run away, he suddenly tripped because something grasped his ankles.
"No, no, no. I don't want to die!" The guy screamed while staring at his feet, trying to move away from the vines.
But to his surprise, the ones tripping him weren't veins. Instead, they were grasses. The grasses tied his feet to the ground and when he fell, the remaining grasses wrapped his wrists, completely sticking him to the ground.
"What?" The only person who still had control over his body gasped and realized he was surrounded.
But to his surprise, his friend suddenly moved to the side as if fleeing from him.
"Yo—" He tried to stop him, but the beasts that killed his teammates earlier stood in his way. "Kh!"
He tried to search for his friend before finding him standing in front of his teammate, who was pinned on the ground.
"What… What are you doing?" The hopeless guy was horrified when he saw the controlled guy raising his sword.
"I can't move my body." The controlled guy was also in despair.
"NOOOO!"
No matter how they shouted, the result wouldn't change. The controlled guy cut his neck, leaving only one free person on this team.
Their gazes intertwined for a moment, showing their own despair.
When the free guy felt a sudden fluctuation of Magic Power, he knew he would die. At that moment, a few roots came out of the ground, piercing his body.
The controlled guy couldn't even speak anymore. All he wanted to do right now was die because he couldn't endure all these brutal deaths.
And that was what the vines gave him.
It began to tighten all over his body, ripping apart his skin and crushing his bones.
"AAAAAHHHHHHH!"
That was the last shout of this group.
