I pulled the strings.
Immediately, the vines coming toward shook and slowed down.
The moment, I realised, the shit, I was in. I brought out the big gun, my strings, and began to wrap them around the plant.
It took time, as I found, the plan is very sensitive. So, I had to make sure it wouldn’t sense me. Soul sense or no, I needed to be careful, since my life depended on it.
Even now, it may not work. This is not a person, monster, or Grimm.
This is a freaking plant. I don’t know how it would go against the strings. Whether it would try to destroy them or shed its vines and grow new, I don’t know.
That is why, this time, killing isn’t a purpose, but escaping. That’s what I moved to do as the vines slowed down.
I moved toward the nearest exit. I could go in any direction; there are no walls here. I moved toward the east, which would get me out of its range quickest.
I avoided the vines as I moved. Feeling them moving faster after the initial slow speed.
I could feel the plant pouring more power into the vines. Making them move fast, but my strings are adjusting themselves to restrict these vines even more.
It is a very high-speed battle where I need to react as quickly as the enemy, but here is a dumb plat that works on instincts, but those instincts are as sharp as a blade.
Finally, I could avoid it no longer and had to defend against the vine.
They moved at me again, stopping, blocking my path, and making me change direction, while attacking me from all angles.
I defended and dodged every attack coming at me, but these attacks had slowed me down and confounded me.
I am trying to get out every moment, but these vines would block the way, the next moment. Forcing me to take another route, which they would block again.
"This plant!" I cursed.
Monsters didn’t make me as scared as this bastard did. I am trapped with its vines coming to kill me every second. Needing only one opportunity to finish me off.
Once more, I stopped the attack, but this time, I tried a different approach.
I used concentrated fire energy on it, but it was like I had expected. It had dealt with it rather easily. This is no common fire, but the one that works very well against the plants, but it didn’t work against this one.
Seconds passed and turned into minutes, and I am still struggling to get out.
I thought, after pulling the strings. It wouldn’t take me more than ten seconds to get out, but I had underestimated the strength of the plant.
I am very lucky that I didn’t use this power at the beginning, or it would have been able to finish me off very quickly.
I changed strategies after strategies, using different types and elements of energy, but they didn’t seem to work at all. With its immense vitality, it is dealing with it all.
So, I switched to strings and tried a different approach with them.
A few seconds later, my eyes lit up and I decided to take the risks. I don’t know whether it works, but it’s not like I have any choice.
Another minute passed, and I was still struggling against the vines.
The only thing that made me feel better was that this is the limit of the plant’s strength. I am not fully sure, about 90% seeing, there was no faintest increase in the past minute.
Two and a half minutes passed, and the change occurred in the area.

The earth began to shake, and the shaking got louder and louder, till the large mass burst out of it.
It looked like a jackfruit without thorns. It has green skin and a deep violet line running through its middle.
I was looking at it when the deep violet line opened, revealing a massive, ugly mouth with sharp, long, thorny violet teeth.
It made a weird sound and came toward me.
It’s scary, and I should run away because once I enter the mouth. There is no way I would be able to escape with my life.
Still, I stayed, because I have been waiting for this. It is extremely risky, but I don’t think I will get out of it soon without doing this.
It is not the only danger here; there are monsters, and if any had sensed me, then it would be over for me.
I don’t want that. That would be terrible.
It didn’t take long for it to arrive in front of me, and it moved its mouth to eat me up.
’I hope it works,’ I thought and shot forward toward it, with every bit of my speed. At the same moment, the vines moved to stop me.
They are fast and powerful, but midway, they slowed down.
The strings made progress with the data. They were able to bind the vines better, restricting them further.
I avoided the vines and appeared above the thing, when it suddenly went upside down and came at me, and with its speed, it came incredibly fast.
It reached in an instant, with my leg entering its mouth, when its mouth suddenly stopped.
More data provided not only makes the efficient binding, but it also frees a lot of strings, which I used on the thing.
My sword, which was ready, went down fast with its blade blazing in bright yellow fire.
I might not work on vines, but I will work on it. The data provided by the seed had been verified by that. It is also the seed that brought it out.
It had sent the wisp of forbidden power, and like I had expected, it went mad for it.
Everyone wants forbidden power, even plants are no exception.
My sword reached it and pierced through it. As it did, it burned through its internal hard, before they had a chance to fight back and regenerate.
It has crazy powerful regeneration abilities. If I recover as I burned it, I won’t be able to deal with it.
The blade stopped, but not the plant. Still, I didn’t move and watched the plant. It struggled for several seconds before it finally stopped.
Making me take a breath of relief.
