"Damn it!"
I cursed loudly when I saw that the crouching tree monster had suddenly sprouted numerous branches from its back, right before fading away, dying from fire. There were probably at least a thousand newly grown branches that were barely burned.
We were able to subdue it just because its rate of growing branches was slower than the rate of our fire burning it down.
But with its last-ditch attempt, it managed to summon so many branches that even our fire struggled to keep up.
The most important thing, though--
"Jeanne!? Firiell? Are you guys alright!?" I flew my gaze to an ice dome that I had created in a rush.
When I realized that the tree monster was about to do some dangerous stuff, I reflexively blasted my ice to make a cocoon for my teammates, Jeanne with Firiell, and general Zhang that I didn't even know the precise location of. I just kinda made a huge dome around where he should be.
Wait, huh...?
