Chapter 70: All against three. (2/2)

Seeing this, Gray whispered something into their ears and they nodded.

”You're not getting past.” Muttered the horned one controlling the vines as he dug his blade further into the wall. At that moment, even more vines extended out of the walls. These ones covered small gates, blocking their path.

As if realizing they could no longer proceed, they stopped in the air. The three of them tucking their legs into a platform which the horned one could not see. They were positioned diagonally, their feet and body pointed towards the small gate.

”Have you given up? But it's too late now!!” The horned one shouted, as he dug the katana even further into the wall.

The moment he did so, the vines seemed to go berserk as their edges grew sharp and pointy. At a faster speed than previously shown, they extended themselves towards the group in the air.

[Vine Execution]

A moment before the pointed edge of the vines were about to pierce all three of them, the temperature in the room dropped. The horned man's eyes widened as he noticed the edges of his vines turn to ice.

[Ice Mist]

A cold mist surrounded the three of them, allowing him to only see their eyes as it hid most of their figure.

'What!? How isn't the mist affecting them!?'

Veins were visible when muscles bulged out of Gray's leg as he tucked them further in. He wrapped his arms around the two girls tightly, before all three of them sent a killer glare at the horned one controlling the vines.

Gray's eyes glowed yellow, Violet's glowed purple and Aurora's glowed a light blue. Seeing this, the horned one felt a chill go down his spine.

*SWOOSH!*

Despite it's edge being frozen, the vine still continued on with it's task, it's aim to at least graze and poison them. To his surprise however, right before it could hit them, their figure seemed to disappear, as the mist blew away.

Using the mist as cover, Gray leapt at an angle which allowed him to take the three of them past the vine which was just about to kill them.

A wide grin grew on the horned ones' faces as they drew closer at incredibly high speeds. The vines around him, all seemed to intertwine and join together, creating a thorny shield which stood ahead of the three.

[Poisonous Vine Shield]

With their momentum and their trajectory, they were about to crash right into it, before dying to the poison.

”I've won... Haha... It's my wi-”

*KABAM!!!* *CRASSH!!!*

The man's head crashed into the wall, digging further into it as Gray's extended leg, in the form of a kick, slammed into him with all the momentum. A few seconds later, the man's entire body froze up, causing him to release his sword.

The vines all withered away and whilst his consciousness faded, only one word passed by his mind. 'What...?'

Everything went black.
