Chapter 62. Escape - 2
\'It\'s going to be difficult.\'
He thought as they moved quickly.
A moment later, they arrived in the area between two entrances of the two ponds on either side
But it was also at that moment that the vines appeared behind them.
It looked as if five figures were flying straight through the water and a tentacle monster using his tentacles to catch them.
Seeing that the vines would touch their swords at any moment, Orion frowned.
He realized they still had a little time before reaching the surface of the other pond. However, if they didn\'t take action to stop these vines and slow them down, they would be the ones ensnared by the vines.
Thinking of that, he quickly thought of something and came up with a plan, but for that to work, he would have to take chances.
\'Alright, let\'s do this.\'
After making up his mind, he turned his sword in a U-motion and moved towards the vines.
The vines were just behind them so he arrived between them very quickly.
At that moment, his whole body started to release white smoke, and little by little, the water surrounding him started to freeze.
The vines that were eying him and moving towards him froze down as well.
But the freezing of the water didn\'t stop. It continued to spread throughout the entire area, from where the entrance of the other pond was, where these vines came from, to where he floated. All that area froze, freezing all the vines and himself with it.
Famir and the others felt the water become freezing cold all of a sudden when they noticed that half the area between the ponds seemed to have frozen down.
But they soon saw that Orion also appeared to have frozen among all those vines.
However, it didn\'t take long for them to notice that those red flames seemed to be flickering around Orion as the frozen ice around him started to melt and slowly all the ice around him melted as smoke began to release from the surroundings
But he knew it wouldn\'t be able to hold those vines for long.
\'Let\'s escape from the pond first.\'
Using this opportunity, Orion quickly freed himself from the frozen ice and used his sword to quickly fly towards the other surface of the pond.
At that moment, all the vines were frozen, so without any obstacle, they quickly arrived near the surface of the other pond and passed through it before appearing in the air above the pond.
"FLY THE BOAT."
Orion shouted at the top of his lungs when he arrived in the air, looking at the boat.
Ralf and Runo heard Orion\'s shout and saw them flying high in the air.
Seeing that, Runo quickly turned to Ralf.
"Fly the boat," he urged Ralf.
Ralf nodded and operated the boat as it began to float in the air.
Meanwhile, as Orion\'s group flew towards the boat, hundreds, if not thousands, of vines came out of the pond towards Orion and the others.
"What the!!"
Runo, who was looking at Orion and the others and seeing such a large number of vines following behind them, felt shocked. He hadn\'t seen anything like that before.
At the same time, Orion also turned behind to see that, and he also felt that the number of vines seemed to have increased from what they had been in the water.
\'It seems all those trees behind that tree also sent their vines here. Damn."
He thought as he quickly flew towards the boat, which was in the air waiting for them.
But after flying towards the boat for a moment, the vines caught up to him, who was behind the other four—at the last position.
The vines latched onto the hilt of his sword, pulling him behind.
Orion quickly conjured flames in his legs and used attraction on his sword to cover the whole sword in flames.
This caused the vine that was pulling him to burn down.
However, because of the vines pulling him down, he was now flying, with the vines dodging here and there as he flew towards the boat.
But this was the least of his problems, as Orion saw that the vines would quickly reach the other four if he didn\'t do anything about it.
\'At this rate, they will be caught before they even reach the boat.\'
He frowned as he activated his absolute defense. That way, even if he failed to dodge the vines, his absolute defense would still deflect the vines.
Now that his problem was solved for the time being, he thought about them and thought of something.
He thought that when he used attraction to attract something, it moved way faster than how he normally controlled his swords. So, he thought of using this plan.
But he didn\'t know if his ability would work over long distances.
\'Let\'s try it.\'
Seeing the boat waiting for them in the distance, he focused on one of the poles in the boat using his properties of attraction and a moment later, the whole pole began to glow in a blue light. Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn
\'It worked!\'
He then quickly used the attraction on the three swords on which Famir and the others were flying, causing them to also turn blue.
And the moment these swords turned blue, they flew towards the boat like a rocket, only leaving a trail of blue light behind.
A moment later, they quickly arrived in the boat and hopped down before his swords flew back.
Seeing them reach the boat, Orion also used the same technique on himself and arrived in front of the boat.
However, as if fate were against them, two very thick and long vines came from the pond, latched onto the boat, and started pulling it towards the pond.
"Let\'s go and fly away from here."
Orion, observing the situation, shouted as he landed on the boat. But no matter how hard Ralf tried, the boat didn\'t move, as it was being pulled by the two thick vines latched onto it.
"The boat isn\'t moving because of the two vines."
Ralf shouted back at Orion.
Orion frowned. He had already speculated that, but he also thought that if the boat could move forward even a little bit, then maybe the vines would break and they would be free. However, it appeared he had underestimated these two vines.
\'Looks like I\'ll just have to cut it down.\'
He thought as summoned his three flying swords back to him.
After that, he used attraction on the hilts of the three swords and bound them together, each at a 120° angle from each other with their hilts at their center.
Next, he conjured flames and, using the properties of attraction, he attached those flames to the three shining blades of the swords.
With that done, he controlled the three swords to rotate at a very fast speed, like a shuriken—a flaming shuriken as he threw it in the air.
