Chapter 114: Rock Ox - 2
By now, the Rock Ox had been forced into a single spot, with two massive vines wrapped tightly around its body.
One coiled around its abdomen, dragging it backward, while the other constricted its neck and yanked in the opposite direction—an ugly, awkward angle. The position forced the beast to hesitate to exert its full strength, lest it risk snapping or spraining its own neck.
But that didn't mean it had stopped resisting.
Even under maximum reinforcement, the Treant's vines—each one as thick as a mature tree trunk—were beginning to splinter apart. Jagged cracks spread across their bark-like surfaces as the Ox's raw strength pushed against them.
The Treant frantically poured more mana into the restraints to keep them from tearing apart completely.
Its mana reserves were draining at an alarming rate, and Lily could already feel the faint tug. Soon, the Treant would begin siphoning directly from her own reserves just to keep the restraint going.
