The vines are too thick for me to break through with sheer force. Even with the help of telekinesis, I can feel that it's not working. I tried burning the whole vines using the flames but it seems the vines manage to stop it from burning. It's very hard to deal with and it seems that the dryad is starting to suck my energy dry. My vision is still blurry as hell and I can feel my whole body weakening. Am I going to die here?
'Bullish*t, you? Die here? Are you joking? You are the Kazuma and just a mere amount of vines constricting you are not enough to bring you down.'
I was startled. That is not the seeds' voice. And from what I heard, this guy has an arrogant tone on his voice. I frowned but I have no time to dwell with it. I can definitely problem it later once I escaped this vine shackles that bind me down. I closed my eyes and concentrated all of my energy to my whole body. I sucked in a mouthful of air before blowing it out. My mana started surging within me like boiling water, steaming and scorching hot. I can feel my whole body is getting warmer. Indeed, the voice in my head earlier is right. This amount of vines are not enough to bring the great Kazuma down to the drains.
"GRAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!"
I screamed with my all as a burst of mana surge out of me. The vines constricting my body started to change colour from lush green vine to yellowish vine. It was like being boiled into very hot water. The vines slowly lose their hardness and fell limply into the ground, devoid of its former life. It wilted and will never be revived again.
The dryad that is controlling the vines suddenly fell into the ground and spasms a bit. It seems that having the vines that drains my energy attached to me when I was releasing the mana affected the energy that the dryad sucked in. It was too volatile for the dryad that she did not manage to deal with the overflowing energy. In short, she is bloated.
After being freed from the vines, weakness surged into my body. It seems that doing that sort of trick would cost you a lot of energy and has a side-effect of a temporary weakness. However, that was really worth it. I immediately took note on it in case I would be needing to use it in the near future.
My clothes are a bit tattered and have some holes after the skirmish against the dryad. Oh well, I have spare back in the ruins. I can change on those for later. Then m, I remembered that a certain elemental pixie is currently hiding in my clothes. F*ck, I forgot about her!
"Hikari! Are you there? You still alive?" I murmured as I check the pockets of my shirt and pants.
"Daddy!" Hikari suddenly appeared out of nowhere and circled around my head. I sighed in relief, seeing the small pixie safe and sound. Still, I need to double-check.
"Hikari! Are you hurt? No injuries anywhere?"
Hikari tilted her head like she didn't understand what I am talking about. Or I guess she never did because she is just born yesterday. She had yet to learn any kind of language a human speak except for the word daddy. After making sure she is not injured, I let her go back into hiding.
With Hikari back into hiding to safety, I looked at the collapsed Dryad. I check her vital signs and from the looks of it, she is not yet dead but is extremely weakened by me. I think for a while as I try to think what should I do to her. Then, a thought struck into me. Since she is a dryad, does that mean, she controls plants easily right? She would be an essential part of me properly learning how to use the skill "Forestry Control." What is more, if I do it right, I might be able to persuade this dryad to allow me and the others to pass this part of the forest without getting under the illusions. Not bad for me, I rarely think nice ways to do things like this so I guess it would be quite a good idea.
I pull out the rope in my sling bag that is also tattered. This rope is meant to be used in case we fell or in need to gain access to a certain place that needed ropes. Who would have thought that the rope originally for emergency purposes only became a very useful tool for today? I quickly tied up the dryad using the rope before she wakes up. It would be horrible for me to let her die so I decided to rest on the nearby tree. Also, from what I heard, dryads are something that is one with nature. If I don't want her to escape, I have to do and seal her escape.
I summoned one Pillar of Doom and quickly tied up the dryad on it. Since the pillar of doom is not part of nature, she would be having a hard time to return to it easily. I tied her up tightly to avoid her from escaping while of course, letting her be a bit comfortable on the pillar. I sat on the nearby rock and observed the dryad. The dryad that I am looking at, is not the dryad I expected to see. Instead of being a naked one, she has clothes that seemed to be ready-made for her. The colour of her skin is green and her hair is also colour green. She is a bit smaller than me and much skinnier than me. From what I can see, she is not that different from a normal human girl. Her only problem is the unnatural skin colour on her body.
But then, I heard a mesmerising voice not too far from my position. This voice is clearly the voice I heard last time before I confronted the dryad. I thought at first that that voice earlier came from the dryad. Now I am sure that it's not from the dryad but from another entity itself. Something else is here, currently has the same objective as this dryad: to lure men to their location. I frowned on this one. So that means that this dryad is not the only perpetrator for the illusions? There is another one responsible for it?
