Chapter 1009 Flowers
"What's going on...?" Someone muttered, looking up.
"I don't know... but aren't they Giant Solar Flowers? As far as I know, only a queen can summon them..." His buddy said with wide eyes.
"Damn... Did someone attack us?" The man shuddered with a gulp.
The Plants were puzzled, some were frightened since there were very rarely any battles in their world. Many Plants, couldn't even remember the last time their queen fought an outside invader.
Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.
The ground trembled as huge flowers with massive petals and yellow cores emerged from it. They continued to grow out of the ground as if Polosa had infinite energy, though that wasn't far from the truth.
"Do you think Sven will win?" Osvald asked as he leaned toward Marlis.
Marlis nodded, "Sure, it won't be a problem, however, I think this time he'll have to use more than in the battle with that dragon. After all, this is Plants World, and his opponent is the Progenitor of the Plants."
"Hmm?" Osvald gave her a puzzled expression.
Marlis shook her head with a sigh, "Anyway, all these plants exude energy, and she can absorb it, from that side, she is probably one of the strongest opponents. However, Sven has a similar ability."
Everyone watched intently as the battle began. Besides Osvald, Marlis, and Guards, there were many other powerful people in Plants World. Some of them were in the Fifth Chronicle, and others were not at such a high level, but each of them had a lot of energy and experience.
Perhaps some of them wanted to take part in the battle and banish Sven from the world, but they were stopped by the influence of the others, those who wished to see the battle.
"The queen has finally begun to act... I didn't like this exchange with the Arkans from the beginning." The man with the long beard muttered, staring intently at Polosa.
"Master... What are you talking about?" The girl beside him asked.
"Nothing complicated, but it's too early for you to be thinking about such things. Just remember my words that nothing lasts forever, and even an eternal ruler can meet his end because of his own actions." The man said confidently, causing the girl to be puzzled.
Most Plants were slightly lost and just waiting with sparkling eyes for the battle to begin, but those with great power had frowning faces. They understood that the situation was difficult just as much as the fact that their queen was no longer who she had been in the beginning.
"Well, well, do you really think these flowers can scare me?" Sven smirked, spreading his arms to the side, "None of that matters anymore, though. Go ahead, attack. I'm ready to take your attack. After all, today will be your last fight in hundreds of years of life."
Polosa's face contorted in anger, she was practically furious that someone wasn't taking her seriously, it hadn't happened in a very long time.
"Fine, if that's what you're asking, I can give you that. It would be easy for me to destroy an annoying bug like you." Polosa smirked as she waved her hand.
Whooooooooooooooooooosh.
At the same moment, the nine flowers glowed brightly. They gathered energy from their surroundings, turning it into yellow sparks that gradually grew into spheres. Polosa gave the signal, and energy lasers launched from the blossoms, capable of burning through anything with their power.
Sven grinned slightly. Unlike Osvald he was not ready to be wounded for nothing, so before the lasers could reach him he made his move.
Energy began to flow out of Sven's palms, splitting into hundreds of strands. They intertwined with each other, forming an impenetrable barrier of a thousand layers, then, the lasers reached him.
Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.
The lasers burned through the strands, but as soon as they burned through several layers, Sven created new ones, he could go on like this almost indefinitely. So, gradually the lasers' energy came to an end, and they extinguished as the flowers went to recharge.
"Is that really all you can do?" Sven smirked, turning the threads into energy, "You know, Plants World is actually a beautiful place, I wouldn't want to ruin everything here, so I think we should fight over there."
Sven pointed to the castle, whose walls were strong enough to withstand several of their attacks.
"Hah, forget it. I'm not going to sacrifice my castle for our fight." Polosa waved her hand irritably, she didn't even want to hear about it.
"I see... You think your castle is more important than the territory of the commoners, don't you?" Sven said calmly with a slight nod, "Well, quite expected from a rotten ruler like you. However, I don't care much for your opinion."
Whooooooooooooooooosh.
Sven's silhouette blurred as the next moment he was in front of Polosa. She tried to jump back, but before she could even blink, Sven grabbed her tightly by the neck. Sven threw Polosa down with tremendous force, then he went in the same direction.
Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.
With a rumble, Sven landed in the midst of the throne room while Polosa, who had fallen beside the throne, rose. She cleaned the blood from the corners of her mouth and stared at Sven with a hateful look. If she could, she would sizzle him right now.
"Is something wrong? Don't you want your throne to suffer?" Sven tilted his head in a mocking manner, "Hah, in that case I know how to make you even angrier."
"No! You wouldn't dare!" Polosa exclaimed as she waved her hand. At the same moment, dense roots appeared next to the throne, they tried to protect the throne from impending danger.
"That won't help you." Sven created a white sword out of energy, stepped forward, and swung his weapon from the top down.
Whooooooooooooooosh.
The white blade moved forward at tremendous speed, cutting the roots in two, but its energy wasn't enough to reach the throne.
"Hah! You're not as strong as you want to seem! You can't even do something that simple!" Polosa exclaimed with an excited expression.
Sven shook his head, then his hand became a blur. He swung his sword several times in a second, so very quickly, hundreds of white blades rained down on the throne. Against such a thing, there was nothing Polosa could do anymore, and her throne was cut into small pieces.
"Hahaha! Damn, he's just messing with her!" Wain laughed with pleasure as he looked at Polosa's lost face. To her, the throne was an indicator of her status and today, Sven destroyed it.
"Bastard! Did you really have to do that?!" Polosa shouted with a lost look.
Sven took a deep breath, "Hey, enough of this show, I think we've had enough fun. Like it or not, your future as a ruler depends on this fight. If you win, you can fulfill your dream and rule by force, and if not, Plants will have a better ruler."
Polosa's gaze grew more serious as her aura intensified. She nodded slightly and murmured, "Fine, then let's move on to the next stage."
At the same moment, several lasers came down on Sven again, but this time they were much stronger, and there were more of them. Polosa amplified the plants with her nearly infinite energy.
Sven's pupils narrowed as he quickly created a protective barrier of pure energy around himself, then there was a massive explosion that covered everything in golden flames. Most of the throne room was destroyed, but Sven himself was not harmed, in the least, as he slowly emerged from the massive cloud of dust.
"Well, well, someone used the same trick twice. Looks like you're really lacking in combat experience since you thought it would work against me." Sven fixed his hair, stepping forward confidently. The particles of flame flying past him didn't bother him at all.
Polosa frowned, "Your weapon is a sword, right?"
Sven shrugged, "Something like that. Anyway, if you're worthy of it, you'll see my entire arsenal, though it's unlikely you'll live to see the fun part."
Polosa looked at the splinters, the only thing left of her throne, and her eyes filled with sadness. Though it shouldn't be this way, it was actually a serious blow to her, and now she was ready to fight to the fullest.
Whooooooooooooooooosh.
Polosa stretched out her arm as the ground trembled. Hundreds of roots headed toward one point, next to Polosa, but these roots were unusual in that each one had ancient runes on it, sometimes flashing red light.
The roots twisted with each other as if wanting to squeeze something in the center, then, after reaching a certain point, they went back into the ground, leaving a red rectangular barrier in their place.
Inside the barrier hovered a long spear with a crimson tip, with red leaves growing from its hilt. The spear looked simple enough as if it were an ordinary weapon, but its mere sight was enough to make Plants' eyes go wide and Sven grows wary.
Damn... I'm not sure if my needle is enough this time... Nameless King has an indestructible sword, but it's impossible to get rid of this spear too... It's like Alucard, it can regenerate infinitely. Sven pondered with a complicated expression.
