As the tree's roots were thicker than the transformed root arm of Kence's clone it managed to bind the evolved fallen while another root pierce the fallen's body slowly absorbing its energy and life force

"W-what the h.e.l.l is that tree?" Everyone cannot believe what they are seeing. Although there are Bloodline Holders they only have some of their body parts that are not human but this thing is clearly a 100% tree!

As the only skill he knew are all Innate Skills when using his tree body to attack the power was greater than his Spirit Clone!

Kence run to the unconscious mage, he can feel how hot the ground is because of the miniature sun

After all burning one's life force while activating Ultimate Skills will give more power to the spell!

Kence even thought that if the skill reached its peak it might even be comparable to a real sun!

The two Vice-Generals didn't know what Kence wants but when they saw green light energy coming from his palm that he put on the General's body they thought thay maybe Kence has a healing skill

The green energy was being absorbed by the Mage's body as if it was a dried up sponge coming into contact with water for the first time

The mage slowly gained some vitality however it was still not enough as his vitality was still to weak

"Give me some fallen's body quickly! The more the better!" Healing the Mage used up a lot of his energy and add to the fact that his tree body was fighting the evolved fallen his energy expenditure was really high now!

The Vice-Generals obeyed without asking a question as they knew that this a crucial time they cannot waste any time

They went to retrieve as many as fallen corpse as they can to give to Kence while strands of roots appeared on the man's feet again as he absorbed the nutrients

One of the ten special fallens spit out its grey cloud of fog but instead of aiming for the supernaturals it instead aimed at the evolved fallen that was binded by the tree's roots

The evolved fallen after absorbing the gray fog immediately recovered as the injuries on its body healed at the rate visible to the eyes that filled everyone with despair

As if gaining a ma.s.sive strength the fallen destroyed the thick root that was binding it and furiously throwing a punch to Kence's original tree body

A couple of inchest wide hole was resulted from this punch but the damaged was instantly regenerated as soon as it was formed but with the cost of more energy expenditure

"f.u.c.k those special fallens! Just how many abilities they have?!" Kence was furious now, he was close to killing that evolved fallen but who would have thought that the special fallens has special skills!

"Give me more fallens!" Kence shouted, if his energy reserves drained to a dangerous level he would immediately stop healing the mage. His life was more important! If they are really fated to lose this war he won't hesitate to flee!

The Vice-Generals quickened their pace as more fallens were absorbed by Kence but it was not enough

His energy expenditure was too high as he is fighting a fallen with his tree body while healing someone with his Spirit Clone

"[Innate Skill: Photosynthesis!] He forgot that he has this skill and when he remembered it he immediately activated [Photosynthesis]

However using this skill actively will use mind power that if used too much will cause the user to feel dizzy

Kence's tree body was using its leaves to attack and roots to either defend or attack. As his original body cannot move he don't have a choice but to use his roots to defend but doing so will destroy the root and energy was needed to regenerate it

If his tree body can dodge that will save up a lot of energy

His leaves left tens of few inches deep wound on the fallen's body but it didn't hinder its movement. As usual the fallen punched towards the tree that was blocked by the roots while another root struck the fallen on its shoulder

The fallen's energy and life force was slowly getting sucked but the hateful special fallens spit out gray fog again that was absorbed by the evolved fallen

It instantly recovered from all its wound and destroyed more roots again

This process continued while Kence's energy was slowly draining

Even if they want to kill the special fallens the evolved fallens will guard the Mystic's attack while if they order the supernaturals to kill it the normal and transformed fallens would be the one to defend

After the Mage absorbed enough energy to not endagered its life Kence breathe a sigh of relief. Thankfully, now he can focus on killing the evolved fallen with his tree body

However before that, he walk to the evolved fallen's corpse

"I saved him but I will take the evolved fallen that he killed!"

Everyone was sure that the energy of a Blood Bean from a mid-stage fallen was more abundant than those in the early stage but no one of them think that this was inappropriate

The Mage cannot savor his spoils of victory if he is dead!

Using his root he absorbed the evolved fallen and it whithered until it was reduce to mere ashes

Kence was feeling so happy right now, he can feel a huge amount of energy was pouring inside his body until he felt some sort of a barrier that he felt when he was in the peak of the early stage

He was now at the peak of the mid-stage! Maybe after absorbing another mid-stage fallen he will break this barrier and step into a higher level!

He was now more determined to kill the evolved fallen!

After absorbing the fallen he excitedly went to a.s.sist his original body

"[Innate Skill: Leaf Barrage!] Around the tree body tens of leaves glowed with light green light but it does not end there as another tens of leaves gathered around the Spirit Clone's body

"Since I cannot kill you in a slow way then instant death is what you need!" Kence smiled, using his tree body and Spirit Body was his true trumpcard

"[Combination Magic: Leaf Rain!]"

The leaves numbering in about a hundred surrounded the sky and descended towards the evolved fallen all at the same time

But Kence's attack does not end there, he was already thinking about this skill before and only now did he had a chance to used it but he still has another skill he wants to try

His arms tranformed into roots while two roots of his tree body emerged from the ground

"[Combination Magic: Spiraling Roots!]" The four roots intertwined and like a drill it strike towards the evolved fallen

These skill's power was a few times more powerful than normal ones but its energy expenditure was also in a frightening level!

The leaves pierced all over the fallen's body, some entered its eyes and drilled to its brain

The root on the other hand pierced the fallen's heart

This used up all of Kence's energy as he panted hard and felt some dizziness on his head because of the over usage of energy. Without wasting any time the root absorbed the energy from the fallen

He thought that a single mid-stage fallen was enough to break the barrier and he will break through but although the barrier lossened up a bit it was not destroyed!

This might be because his attack used up all of his energy and the fallen's energy and life force replenished the used energy and only a small part of it was added to his cultivation base

He sighed and felt that this was really a pity. If he broke through into the next stage he might be able to end this war quickly

He sat on the ground and rest his back on his tree body. Although his energy replenished but emotional tiredness was not something that mere energy can restore!

He was panting hard but he felt some sort of a peace when he was resting on his tree body

Seeing another evolved fallen was was killed the army regained some confidence and their attacks become fiercer

The battlefield was now dyed with blood and flesh both from humans and fallens alike

Some cried as their loved ones were killed, while some because of hatred used all their energy in fighting without regards to their own life and when all their energy were used up the sea of fallens swallowed them

Deaths are really common in this war

King felt proud as his Master killed an evolved fallen by himself without sacrificing himself like the Mage

'Look! This is my Lord! My Master! Who can compare to him!'

King was motivated and wished to kill an evolved fallen too

"Son, Cesar Time to finish this!"

The two's fighting spirit was also motivated and they attack more ferociously

"Cesar, use all of your Binding Runes!" As Cesar was using his Runes to bind lots of fallens to support the soldiers more than half of his Runes reserves were used up but if they can sacrifice these Runes to kill an evolved fallen it would be more than worth it!

Cesar nodded and tens of Binding Runes flew to the air, as a lot of Runes were used its power was amplified as thick vines wrapped around the evolved fallen's body

"[Magic Skill: Heavy Bullet!] A human head size bullet shaped green light formed in front Calter's palm that also flew to the air to attack the binded fallen

This attack of him sacrifices all of the energy on his body and also his mind power that he need to use [Photosynthesis] that gathered all the energy from the surrounding

"[Magic Skill: Harden!]" King decided to cast his harden skill as much as he can to his root arms to make it harder as possible. This might enable his root too penetrate enough the fallen's body

The heavy bullet managed formed a few inches deep hole on the fallen's face, King decided to strike on the wound and it successfully pierced the fallen's head

The fallen collapsed on the ground without any life on it

The three also sat down on the ground trying to catch their breathe

Thankfull they are all Mystics, a little bit more than ten normal supernaturals are needed to fight a single mid-stage fallen that was just to fight not kill!

Normal supernatural's energy are a lot inferior than the Mystics and they can only use their skill a few times and its power was only mediocre as they don't have anything that will amplify their skill's power like the Mystics who all have something to rely on like Grimoire, Runes, Superior Physique and Innate Skills

This was the reason why with only three people King and the others managed to kill an evolved fallen. Also because they have different skills and also a support one that they managed to kill an evolved fallen despite being only in the peak of the early stage of Rank 1

They too rest on the ground while the normal supernaturals decided to protect them from the normal fallens

Fortunately, with their [Photosynthesis] and [Absorb] they can regain their energy much quicker than normal people

King took the evolved fallen's body as they unanimously decided how to deal with it

"Lord Kence, we offer this fallen to you!" Kence saved all of them but aside from King giving the thug mage's body to Kence they didn't do much to help Kence

Kence was an a.s.sa.s.sin and he was used to killing but they are not! It was Kence who supported them in hunting fallens until they eventually get used to killing

While the incident from the fallen bees Kence killed most of the bees if not then they would all die

They decided to give Kence the evolved fallen for him to absorb, after all if it was only the mid-stage of Rank 1 there are a lot of early stage fallens for them to kill and absorb

They believe that they can use these fallens to enter the mid-stage too!
