Rise My Elementals! - Chapter 745

Proofreader: M_W Miss Fierce

Three fireballs shot out from the hands of Osborne and straight towards the entangling vines that Selina is currently using to climb back up to the surface.

Whooosh! Whooosh! Whooosh!

The vines were instantly lit up as soon as the fireballs made contact with them. In just a matter of a few seconds, the fire quickly started spreading, burning everything along its path and destroying the vines. Hence, the hold of the vines slowly started getting weaker and weaker with every passing moment.

“Oh, no! I need to get out of here as soon as possible!” Selina quickened her feet so as to make her way out of her current predicament before the vines could no longer hold her weight.

Whooosh! Whooosh! Whooosh!

A few of the vines started getting cut off from their burned counterparts and fell to the very bottom of the crevasse.

Nevertheless, Selina still maintained her composure and continued climbing back up without panicking. In her predicament right now, losing her cool would just make her have a similar Fate as those vines that had fallen to the bottom. Though the fall isn’t really that deep, and as a matter of fact, she could actually see the ground below. However, if she chooses to fall, then Osborne would have the high ground advantage. And not only that, but the space she could move around to dodge would also be limited. Thus Osborne could easily hit her with his Magic spells. In other words, she would get trapped and be put into a helpless situation where it might end up forcing her to concede in their fight.

Selina really doesn’t want to be put into such a situation. As such, her only way to change that is to get herself out from this crevasse using the vines from her Vine Rush spell before all of them get burned off.

“Good thing that my vines go all the way to Osborne’s current location. Otherwise, I would have no other choice but to think of another way to climb back up,” Selina muttered to herself. She added, “And with the vines getting pulled wider due to the crevasse widening, I have even more vines to use. Heh, what would Osborne’s reaction be when he finally realized that if it weren’t for him, then I would have far fewer vines compare to what I have now,”

As he continued to follow the direction of where Selina was approaching towards, Osborne became shocked as soon as he saw that there were even more vines in front of her. This means to say that she has even more footholds to use to climb back up.

Osborne wasn’t stupid. He quickly realized that his own Earth Split spell gave Selina a lot of vines to use. Apparently, as the ground split and widened, the number of vines also subsequently increased for them to hold tightly with each other and not get destroyed.

If he allows this to continue, Osborne knows that it would only take some time more for Selina to escape the trap he worked hard to achieve, thus wasting all of his efforts.

“So, this is your plan, ha?” Osborne said with a cunning smile on his face. In the next moment, he raised both of his hands and pointed them towards the direction of the vines in his sides. In his mind, he thought, “If that’s the case, then I’ll just have to cut your way forward to prevent you from reaching the surface,”

Osborne cast, “Fireball!”

Whoooosh! Whoooosh!

Boooom! Boooom!

Two explosions echoed as the vines that intertwined on Osborne’s Earth Sphere spell got blasted away by his Fireball spell. Fire shoots in different directions, burning everything that it landed on, including the vines.

Instantly, the flames spread and burned every vine along its path, causing them to weaken. Not long after, the vines started falling to the bottom as they could no longer hold on.

Selina couldn’t see any of this happened as she was completely focused on jumping from one vine to another and trying to escape from her current predicament.

But it didn’t take that long for Selina to sense something wrong with the vines.

“Eh? Why does it feel like the vines are getting weaker and weaker as time continues to pass?” Selina wondered to herself. She turned to look behind her, but she saw that the fire was far from reaching her. Thus, how could it affect the vines in her location?

“Wait…” Selina suddenly realized something, prompting her to look closely in front of her. Just like what he had thought, “Osborne is cutting my way forward,”

Seeing this, Selina quickly stopped on her tracks and started pondering on another plan to escape from this place, “Behind me, flames are slowly moving towards my location, and there are no longer any vines for me to use in order to climb up. So, I can’t go back anymore. While in front of me, flames are destroying the vines to prevent me from climbing back up, which means to say that it would just be useless to continue moving forward,”

“Let’s see what Selina is going to do now,” Osborne whispered under his breath and solemnly concentrated on Selina. Though he has the advantage right now, he knows that things could still take a sudden turn to his disadvantage if he is careless. As such, it is much better to stay focus and not let himself get distracted.

“I know!” Selina finally thought of something. Since she can no longer use the vines she had previously created to escape, then she’d just have to make a bunch of new ones.

“Why did I only think of this? Hmmm… Probably, it’s because there was a method to escape right in front of me already. Hence, it never occurred to me anymore that I should still think of another method,” Selina understood her mistake.

Putting that aside, Selina raised her hand and pointed it above her head before she cast, “Vine Rush!”

Whoooosh! Whoooosh! Whoooosh!

In the next moment, a batch of vines shoot out from Selina’s hand and straight towards the top of the crevasse. The vines spread to tighten their holding on the ground on top so it won’t accidentally fall off the bottom. After a few seconds, it was eventually over, which could allow Selina to use it to climb up.

“This is bad!” Osborne hastily raised his hand forward and pointed it towards the direction of the vines that Selina was currently using to climb back up. He cast, “Fireball!”

Whooosh! Whooosh! Whooosh!

Three fireballs shoot towards the vines, instantly lighting it up on fire and weakening it as the flames continue burning its body.

Noticing that a similar situation as the previous one was happening again, Selina didn’t waste any time as she stopped on her tracks and cast another Vine Rush spell, pointing it towards a different direction where there wasn’t any fire.

WHOOOOOOOSH!

The vines tightened their hold on the ground, which then Selina stepped her feet on to climb back up.

With his attack not affecting Selina even the slightest, Osborne continued shooting Fireball spells towards her vines, intending to destroy them before she could truly reach back to the surface.

Unfortunately for Osborne, Selina just continued casting Vine Rush spells after he tried to burn the previous one. She then used them to reach from one place to another while at the same time she climbed higher and higher.

It didn’t take that long for Osborne’s Fireball spell to become useless as more and more vines were appearing every single time one of them was wrapped with flames. In fact, the flames were simply being extinguished by the vines since they would likewise wrap the fire with their bodies. And as more and more vines appeared, the fire could no longer do any noticeably burn to them, thus finally allowing Selina to reach back to the top.

“Damn!” Osborne swore after seeing Selina had escaped his planned trap.

With a broad smile of triumph on her face, Selina turned to look at Osborne and said, “Despite all of your efforts, I was still able to escape from your trap. So, what are you going to do next, Osborne…? Or should I say, prepare yourself for what I am going to do next!”

The instant Selina finished the last word of her line, she lunged herself forward towards the direction of Osborne.

There were only a few tens of meters of distance separating Osborne and Selina from reaching each other, so she was able to quickly arrived in front of him.

“Take this!” Selina immediately threw a punch towards Osborne’s face as soon as she got closed enough to attack him.

Evidently, Osborne wouldn’t just let himself get hit by Selina’s attack. He quickly raised his hand, which was currently holding the shield, to block the punch from reaching his face.

Bang!

However, despite blocking Selina’s attack with his shield, Osborne still retreated to his rear for a few meters of distance.
