Chapter 114: Rock Ox - 2
By now, the Rock Ox had been forced into a single spot, and two massive vines cinched tight around its body. One coil gripped its abdomen and dragged it backwards, while the other wrapped around its neck and yanked in the opposite direction—an ugly, awkward angle that made the beast hesitate to exert full strength, lest it risk snapping or spraining its own neck.
But that didn't mean it stopped resisting.
Even under maximum reinforcement, the Treant's vines—each as thick as a mature tree trunk—were beginning to splinter. Jagged cracks ran across the bark-like surface as the Ox's raw strength pushed against them. The Treant frantically pumped more mana into the vines to keep them from tearing completely. Its mana drained at an alarming rate, and Lily could already feel the faint tug—its siphoning would soon bleed into her reserves just to keep the restraint going.
