Clang!
The men protecting Xander dropped their shields as the roots erupting from the ground entangled their bodies, wrapping around their necks.
Swoosh!
Under Linda's command, with a wave of her hand, the roots threw the four men aside. They were only in the 5-star warrior realm. They could not even touch her.
Aether, who watched all this, grabbed the handle of his sword.
Swoosh!
He drew the sword from his back, holding it before himself, ready to attack Linda.
Linda turned and looked at him.
Her mouth moved. She uttered something quietly so no one could hear it. One could only lip-read what she said.
Aether's eyes widened.
Clang!
He dropped his sword.
"Tch!" Xander, who witnessed all this, clicked his tongue.
A sword appeared in his hand.
Swoosh!
Linda dashed at him.
He jumped back, but he was too slow.
Boom!
Roots erupted from the ground.
