　The Black Flame Wolf's magical power had certainly been reduced by the attack just now.

　However, there was no reason for concern.

　I and the others have lost our weapons.

　But then something unusual happened.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The scenery around him changes drastically.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　For a moment, I did not understand what had happened.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Perhaps I was too much distracted by the black flame wolf.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"d*mn. What the hell is this? ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Plants ....... Is this a fantasy flower trying to grow further and restrain us?"

　And the ivy is restraining our bodies.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But why?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I looked at the ground in a panic, and that's when I noticed it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There were holes in the ground, as if the soil had been broken up and raised up here and there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Underground?　Was this fantasy flower extending through the ground? Could it be that to some extent it had spread underground in this plain, the battlefield, beforehand?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Here and there, the fantasy flower ivy was crawling out of the ground to the surface and attacking the Reinisatz forces.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If this was just a case of Kyle Reed using his magic power earlier, it must have grown too fast.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If this is the case, he may have planted his magic in this area before the attack.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The Reinisatz army walked right into the trap.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And in order to dazzle us at the moment when the fantasy flower pops out of the ground, the opponents have played a variety of tricks.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　First, they dropped rock giants from the sky to draw our eyes upward.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　My companion near me exclaims.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Indeed, he is right.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The characteristics of the plant are that it can paralyze, sleep, or poison the opponent.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But [purification] should be able to prevent it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In fact, we don't see any of those effects now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No problem.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is true that the fantasy flower continues to extend through our bodies, restraining us.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What was that sound?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was cutting the ivy on my body with the sword in my right hand, and I looked around, sweating profusely.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No, I didn't need to look all around.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com
