"I chose to fight to the fullest extent of my ability!"
Jane pulled out her Bow and pointed it at Blob in the distance.
Blob's face was cold, full of killing intent.
Blob stopped talking and simply disappeared from where he was standing.
With the wind shield in a ready state, Jane was not worried about being hit by an attack for the time being.
But now that she had lost Blob's whereabout, Jane was on the side of quite a disadvantage.
Blob would definitely bring out all of his abilities as a level 3 after this.
Things will get difficult even after Jane's Blessing reaches its peak potential.
Jane could feel that her body had now been strengthened to a higher level. At least this way she can survive with all the buffs that her body has to bear.
Jane's emerald eyes shone faintly and detected movement on Mana in the air.
There was a faint movement of Mana in some places, probably due to the movement of Blob, but Jane couldn't see anyone there.
Blob was moving very fast, too fast even for Jane who had been in a state of Perfect Synchronization with Seearial and her blessing reached its maximum potential.
"This teleporting ability is truly terrifying!"
Jane gets goosebumps just at the thought of what would happen if she had to escape without Seearial's help.
She would probably easily be caught by the three before she even started running. No wonder they had underestimated her to that extent before.
For now, staying at the entrance of the forest was too risky. It was better for me to go further into the forest while waiting for him to come attack.
Jane drew up her short-term plan and began to move carefully into the forest.
While she was at it, Jane took the opportunity to ask Seearial.
Seearial, do you have any magic that seems to be able to restrict that guy's movements?
Responding to Jane's question, Seearial replied calmly.
{That scumbag's teleporting ability seems to depend on small tears in space. I have a magic that is able to compress the air as well as the space around it for a while, but it will take a long time to prepare, your holiness! That's why I didn't have time to use it before.}
You have it? That's great!
Jane didn't expect that Seearial actually had a way to deal with Blob's teleportation ability.
She had only asked without any real expectation, but it turned out that she had hope after all.
After pondering for a while, Jane found a fighting tactic that suited her.
Alright Seearial, you just focus on defending the Wind Shield and building a new one after the Wind Shield is destroyed. While you're at it, can you start preparing your magic that is capable of restricting that guy's movements?
Responding to Jane's question, Seearial answered confidently.
{I can, Your holiness! It might take me a few minutes, but I'm definitely capable of doing it! But as long as I won't be able to help you directly, will you be okay, Your holiness?}
Jane smiled at Seearial's concern.
"I'll be fine."
{Alright, be careful, Your holiness!}
Jane nodded.
Jane's eyes shot to every side of the forest she saw as she walked.
Mana in various shapes and colors fills her field of vision.
Jane lowered her bow and stretched out her right hand forward.
Slowly, the Mana around began to change because of what Jane was doing.
She was trying to use magic.
The magic she had just obtained, Plantea Magic.
This was the first time Lena had used magic inside the DOL as a Skill.
Although this was only the second time she had used this magic, Jane felt that the process of using this magic was already 100 times easier than when she had used her self-taught magic without the help of a skill.
Without skill, using magic is like trying to move an item in a room without entering the room, while with skill, using magic is like actually moving the item by directly touching it with your hand.
The process is much easier and simpler.
Jane also intuitively understood what she had to do.
Tree after tree within the forest slowly swayed gently while Jane was using her magic.
With her eyes, Jane could see the thin greenish threads that connected to the trees in the forest in her hand.
Jane grabbed the Mana threads and in an instant she came to understand what she could do using Plantea Magic.
Jane can grow plants, accelerate their growth, control them, change them, or even create new types of plants.
Of course, the higher the level of magic she wanted to use, the consumption of Mana in the process of using it would also increase sharply.
However, with her Soul Skill, Jane was not sure she would be limited in the amount of Mana. If she lacked Mana, then she would only need to use Mana around.
Jane thought of what she needed right now and began to use Plantea Magic to transform the trees in this forest.
One by one, the trees around Jane began to change.
The bark of their trees became darker, their foliage became greener, while a faint green glowing water drop-shaped emblem was engraved on their trunks.
2... 4... 8... 15... 28... 57... 100.
Jane stopped when the number of strange trees had grown to a hundred.
These trees had now been closely connected with the Mana threads she was holding. They can now play the role of her eyes and arms.
These trees emitted a special type of Mana that could detect changes in the atmosphere of Mana around them. Jane made them that way in order to detecting Blob.
These trees can also be controlled at will. Now these trees are included in her arsenal in this fight.
Jane took a deep breath.
"The real fight has just begun, b*stard!"
Jane shouted at Blob who was nowhere.
Jane draws her bow and uses the surrounding trees to search for Blob.
Soon, Jane felt a Mana distortion behind one of the trees she had modified.
Jane collected Mana from the air quickly and shot her arrow right at it.
Jane's arrow split through the air and easily pierced through the tree trunk.
But... There was no sign of the existence of Blob.
Is he teleporting once again?
Tch, what a hassle! Jane clicked her tongue.
She looked around again.
The emblem on the tree trunk glows dimly.
Occasionally Jane would detect distortions in Mana, but before she was even able to shoot her arrow, those distortions would quickly disappear.
Sweat dripped down the side of Jane's forehead.
The possibility that Blob will suddenly appear and slash her puts quite a heavy mental pressure on Jane.
He was always teleporting, what exactly did this guy want to do?
Jane's eyebrows are tightly knitted.
She really had a hard time finding Blob.
What should I do? What is the right course of action for a situation like this?
Jane racked her brain as fast as she could.
Cold tension fills the ambient air.
With the moon as the main light, Jane stands alone in the middle of a dark forest with a bow that can't find its target.
"The real fight, huh..."
Then, just as the deadly silence almost seemed to engulf Jane, Blob's voice rang out from Jane's right side. From 20 meters to Jane's right, to be precise.
"-!!"
Jane quickly shot her arrow there.
Her arrow pierced through the air, but Blob was no longer there.
He stood at a distance of 40 meters in front of Jane, with his sword sheathed.
Jane hurriedly attempted to form a new arrow.
Meanwhile, Blob spoke calmly to Jane.
"Princess, you're right. This is a real fight. Therefore..."
A terrifying smile formed on Blob's face.
"I don't have to just obediently use a sword, do I?"
"What?" Jane had a bad feeling with how Blob said it. It felt as if this man's words felt odd and made her uncomfortable.
But unfortunately, Jane could not find out where exactly the odds and discomfort were.
Annoyed, Jane manipulates the surrounding trees to catch Blob with their branches.
But once again, Blob had teleported.
He reappeared at a distance of 60 meters in front of Jane.
His face for some reason became paler than before. He even looked at the lowest of the best.
Even so, Blob laughed.
"Hah... Hah... Hahaha... This will be the first time for me to blow up women from the outside instead of inside them. Guess... It's also gonna be wonderful!"
Jane was completely confused now.
"What are you talking about!"
Blob didn't answer and continued to laugh out loud.
Jane pointed her bow towards Blob with a sense of caution.
Blob no longer teleport.
He walked back slowly while smiling broadly at Jane.
Blob pulled something out of his pocket.
The object he picked up was in the shape of a box, black with a red button in the center. Blob presses the button.
"Goodbye, Princess."
Jane reflexively shoots her arrow at Blob when she sees what Blob is doing.
Blob did not teleport this time. He didn't even look like he had any energy left to dodge when Jane's arrow precisely pierced right in his neck and exploded his head.
Blob's head spun in the air, releasing a constant stream of blood.
Time felt like it was slowing down for a moment.
Suddenly, Jane felt a change in Mana's atmosphere.
Without any warning, an explosion occurred around Jane.
When Jane saw it, she realized the reason why Blob hadn't attacked her before. The man actually stopped attacking because he intended to kill her with an explosive device.
He had previously teleported around just to put some bombs around Jane!
Seeing how powerful this explosion was, Jane was sure that she would also die.
Ah... MY CHARACTER!!
