His aura underwent a drastic change. He clearly felt his aura becoming stronger and a bit sharper. His mana network had also grown a lot more active.
His mana was channeling throughout his body like a strong current of water. What shocked him was that he didn't have any control over it, it was happening automatically!
The reason why he didn't panic was because the changes happening in his body were positive.
He felt like he could move faster and slice anything that stood in his way. He took a deep breath and increased his speed.
The result completely shocked him, his speed had exceeded that when he was uninjured! Sure when he pushed his body to it's limit, the pain on his body increased tremendously!
However, this speed allowed him to kill any mage that stood in his path quickly and efficiently.
"This trade off is absolutely worth it!!" Myles thought to himself.
This trade off not only allowed him to kill more effectively but also allowed him to dodge enemy attacks more quickly.
In a battle where he was heavily outnumbered. This was the best thing that could have happened.
In fact he was killing mages and closing the distance between him and the woman at an incredible speed. So quickly that even the woman was forced to take a look at him.
A small proportion of the roots surrounding her moved, revealing an elegant and beautiful face.
She not only looked at Myles but also the others who were charging towards her at an incredible speed.
When done, she directed her attention towards the direction from bullets, powerful energy beams and a lot of different types of deadly projectiles were charging towards her.
In other words, she directed her attention towards the gunners. The gunners were still open firing at her from a distance. However, the roots were blocking all the attacks directed towards her. When one root fell, another root rose up from the ground.
Hence, she didn't pay much attention to the gunners. Well at least that was what Myles's thought.
"She is up to something" Myles thought to himself.
She was bound to be up to something. Otherwise, there was no need for her to expose her face. Nonetheless, Myles shook his head a few seconds later.
"Our top priority is to reach her." Myles thought to himself.
This was their top priority. If they managed to close the distance, then Myles was confident that they would be able to kill her or at least seriously injure her.
Hence, he got rid of all his thoughts and continued to charge towards her.
He even stopped mages left and right to reach her quickly. He only killed the mages blocking his advancement path.
As Myles was charging towards her, a voice echoed throughout the entire battlefield.
"You all shall not be allowed to live!!" The woman roared as she gazed through the entire battlefield.
Just a second later, the roots surrounding it moved away, revealing her elegant and beautiful body. Although the roots had moved away that didn't mean that she was without protection.
The roots were still there, it's just they had taken different shapes. Instead of forming a sphere around her, it had formed a large colossal wall around her akin to those found in the border of a kingdom!!
Myles looked at her body and saw that her body was glowing. Her body was emitting a green aura, giving Myles an ominous feeling.
As Myles was staring at the woman and trying to decipher her weakness and what she was doing. A loud yet powerful voice resounded through the battlefield, causing him to divert his attention to the source.
"Second moment, calming throw!!!" A powerful voice echoed through his ears.
Myles saw a sword covered in a thick layer of swords aura charging towards the woman. As the sword charged towards her, it produced strong gales of wind as sharp as a sword itself in the process.
The gales of wind sweep over the entire battlefield, killing or injuring anyone in the process. Not deciphering between friends and foes.
"It might be able to deal some damage to the woman" Myles mumbled as he charged forward.
As he was admiring the sword, a loud sound akin to the sound of a nuclear bomb resounded through his ears.
He averted his attention towards the source of the sound. He saw a flash of yellow for a split second before disappearing from his sight.
"The gunners have already made their move!" Myles gasped.
It was clear now that no one wanted to miss this opportunity to injure or get rid of her. He just crossed his fingers and hoped for the demise of the woman.
The woman in question who was being targeted just grinned upon seeing this.
"If you think this will kill me then think again you nerds!!" The woman let out roared.
In an instant, her aura intensified, reaching a whole new level. She pointed her two hands in the direction of the sword and energy beam.
An enormous amount of mana began to gather at her palms, slowly but surely taking the shape of a small concentrated green ball.
Just a seconds later, the balls charged towards the sword and the energy beam.
"These are no ordinary energy balls!" Myles exclaimed as he charged forward.
They were certainly small but the amount of energy packed in them was insane. Probably exceeding the energy stored in the energy beam.
What might happen if they collided with one another. The outcome was crystal clear to Myles.
"Everyone brace yourself for a powerful shockwave!!!" Myles shouted as he halted his steps.
He quickly stuck his sword to the ground knowing that a danger was going to arrive which would affect the entire battlefield.
As for the mages? Myles moved so swiftly that they didn't even have time to react.
He was certain that by the time they realized the danger, it would already be upon them, leaving them too preoccupied with saving themselves.
"You heard him! Brace yourself for impact" Caption Hector remarked.
Even though he was far away from his troop. He shouted loud enough for them to hear him.
Upon receiving his commands, his troops ceased attacking the mages. Instead, they fell back and started to take on a defensive formation.
Seeing his troops and a few other troops bracing for impact. The other commanders also followed the suit and commanded their troops to do the same.
However, it was far too late!! Just a second later, the two balls collided with their respective targets, producing an explosion so great that it put dozens of nuclear missiles in shame!
Most importantly, a powerful shockwave sweeped around the entire battlefield. The shockwave was so strong that it sent hundreds of troops flying backwards!!
Although there was one weird and ominous thing that Myles noticed.
"Why is the shockwave carrying green energy!" Myles thought to himself as he tightly gripped his sword.
The shockwave was carrying the mana of the woman in all directions at an incredible speed. Myles had a feeling that it wasn't a coincidence.
Just a second later, he was proven right.
"Oh the spirit of the forest feast in my mana and strengthen yourself!! The forest will grow prosperous for years, the only thing you need to do is kill those who I deem as my enemy!
Answer my call for help!" The woman shouted.
The moment she said this, all the energy was being absorbed by the plant life around him.
What happened afterwards was a complete disaster for the members of the union!
