Without a host, the dread sapling was completely exposed to Lena. It was a fleshy bulb like object with veins pulsing through its body. A black flower bloomed above the bulb as red tentacles writhed around within the flower which made it look like a nest of bloodied maggots.
The bulb was around the size of a human torso but the extensions from this bulb were far from small.
Connected by a thick trunk, black roots could be seen digging into the ground as each individual hair on the root would grow with each passing second and also dig into the ground.
Sensing the arrival of Lena, the ground around the sapling started to split apart as hundreds of roots shot towards her in an attempt to kill her.
Glaring at the wall of roots that wanted to end her, Lena summoned a shield into her spare hand and swiped with her sword while using the shield as cover.
*BANG!!!
