Chapter 660 The Tree is Heavy, and the Gate is Kinky
"Hong long~"
Two different manifestations appeared behind Queen Mother and above Alina, both which exuded a level of power no weaker than Professor Frances’s move.
On Queen Mother’s side, an illusory continent made up of plants appeared, with its large body composed entirely of only one tree stump. This stump was pulsing with an immense amount of life force, to the point that it appeared to have a life of its own.
This life force also made the whole continent look like a paradise, although the presence of dangerous squalls and large rifts occasionally mar this image.
Below this continent, numerous miraculous events were happening, with the destruction and chaos on the ground seemingly fixed by the continent’s aura alone.
"..."
Queen Mother did not explain how her summoned continent became like, as she just made the whole continent descend towards Alex.
"Thummm..."
On Alina’s side on the other hand, a huge, dark gate wreathed with bones and rocks materialized above her head.
Its size was inferior compared to that of what Queen Mother summoned, but in terms of power, it was able to match the latter.
"Hum..."
This gate displayed concepts related to the Laws of Space, Time, and Darkness, all that formed an esoteric but also a unique presence all over the area.
This presence did not give the gate a frightening offensive potential, but those who saw it felt an instinctive fear inside their bodies.
It was as if there was a voice warning these people, telling them that those who comes near this dark gate will lose their freedom forever...
"Thum~"
Just like Queen Mother, Alina also began bringing this gate down towards Alex, and she showed no signs of hesitation at this point.
Alina just let her gate fly, and she did express any interest on stopping it....
"...."
These consecutive moves by Alina and Queen Mother led to an attack made up from the combination of the illusory continent and the dark gate, something that made the nearby Professor Frances shiver.
The professor could feel the power inherent on this attack, and she knew that it will be hard for her to survive had she been this attack’s target.
She was lucky it was being used on Alex this time, and not on her.
"Yes, just attack Alex with those things. This way, we can delay him more!" Professor Frances was happy at the prospect of these additional attacks, with her mind already envisioning the sight of Alex receiving more injuries later.
She could also imagine the impending frustration on Alex’s face, and that was enough to make her feel smug. "Hahaha! So with if you are more powerful right now, Alex? You are still corrupted by the Abyss, so it will be hard for you to dodge our attacks! The best that you can do right now is accept them, but that is what we are wanting you to do!"
With a barely-hidden snarl on her face, Professor Frances dug out all of the power that she can draw from her body just to strengthen the power of her Soul Severing Sword.
This made her suffer some internal injuries, but for the sake of their escape, this injury is nothing more but a scratch.
"Haha, come on Alex, why don’t you do something now? If this goes on, you will be really left alone....
*************
When Alex was in coma in the Traveler’s World, it was not only Professor Frances who used this time to strengthen her powers.
Both Alina and Queen Mother also strengthened their powers in this 7-month span too, with the results of that training being shown today.
With her innate ability and all the resources from the Traveler’s World, Queen Mother was finally able to regain the power that she had back in the Monster World.
Not only that, but her comprehension on Nature Magic allowed Queen Mother to create countless abilities, all which gave her a combat prowess comparable to that of a Sixth Stage Being.
"...."
Queen Mother’s Original Tree Form was powerful already, and if this were to be combined with her Nature Magic abilities, it will be hard to find anyone who can easily defeat her.
It was just too bad that Queen Mother cannot transform into her Original Tree Form easily even at this point, as it still had a burden that she cannot take easily.
As such, the current Queen Mother can only use her Nature Magic on Alex right now.
This might seem inadequate, but with the weird effects that her ability had, one cannot ignore her Nature Magic alone.
"Thum...."
The spell that Queen Mother just used was one that she called NATURE DOMAIN: DESCENT OF THE TREE GOD.
This was a spell that combined Queen Mother’s immense life force along with her comprehensions about the domineering power of massive lifeforms, in order to create the illusory continent that she summoned earlier.
This combination might appear inefficient at first, but Queen Mother was able to combine them in such a way that the whole spell became extremely intimidating.
Queen Mother did not exactly explain what the effects of this spell of hers were, but judging by its appearance, this summoned continent has the enough power to imprison and suppress anything, even those who are nearing the peak of Sixth Stage already.
"Dum dum dum!" Professor Frances’ guess turned out to be right, as when the summoned continent was a few meters away from Alex, it began to unleash its domineering pressure on him, forcing the latter to fall face-flat on the ground.
The impact of this fall seemed to have stunned Alex, and it took him a while before he became enraged by this change too.
"Argh!!! Damn you, Queen Mother! I am still struggling against this professor’s attack, and you dare sneak attack me! *@#(@*)(#@ ! I promise once I remove this soul sword, you will be the first one that I will hunt down!" Even if he was suffering from a sword cutting through his soul, and the weight of a deadly continent, Alex was able to still talk.
It was as if he was not worried and affected about his condition, and he seemed to be more focused on dissing on his opponents.
"Hmm... even if you are a f**king tree Queen Mother, I think I can still consider you as a hunting target... I just have to dress you with those skimpy rabbit clothes that you made last time. But if I do that, you will look like a kinky lesbo queen. Hey, that does not sound bad at all..."
The tenacity that Alex showed at this point was so surprising to see, especially for someone that should be close to dying now. This is not how Alex should act, and the fact that he was nonplussed about it was enough to frustrate his enemies.
Professor Frances was in this same situation, but she was only surprised, not frustrated.
After all, she had already expected Alex to be this tough, so seeing him act nonchalantly was nothing else but a slight irritation for her.
Besides, Alina’s attack has not landed on Alex yet, and the professor knew that the Alina’s attack was actually the strongest amongst them three.
"Hehe Alex, you might be able to ignore the effects of these two spells since you are powerful enough to resist them. But I wonder what would happen once Alina’s attack lands on you? Can you still act this carefree?"
***********
While Queen Mother focused her skills on her Nature Magic, Alia spent her time finding creative ways to use her Esper Power and Dark Magic, while also using this knowledge of hers to upgrade her Chronomancy.
Alina sought countless fights during this time period, and she also begged and asked for assistance from the Great TimeMaster herself. She also resisted her urge to vomit as she became a short-time student of the Old Man.
With this kind of experiences in her training, Alina naturally received a huge improvement on her own abilities.
She was able to hone and perfect her abilities on both the Esper Power and Dark Magic, while she also managed to make her Chronomancy reach Half-Step Sixth Stage.
The first line of improvement was already impressive by itself, but the fact that Alina was able to make her Chronomancy reach this high of a level just made her look like a monster.
Only one more small push was needed to make her Chronomnacy reach the Sixth Stage, and with the way that things look right now, that push is about to come.
"...."
The presence of these powers alone was enough to make Alina dominant, and quite frankly, even Professor Frances felt fearful of her before.
But since Alina’s attack was intended for Alex, the professor had no problem watching the situation as it unfolded in front of her...
***********
"Slong slong slong~" Large chains made up of dark tendrils sprouted out of the dark gate, which then acted like tentacles as they wrapped themselves around Alex.
Each joint on Alex’s body, along with his limbs, torso, and head were covered by these chains, with their tight hold on his body forcing him to arch his back.
This instantly turned him into what looked like to be a victim of a tentacle attack, a sight that was slightly comical to Professor Frances.
"Lol, why does Alex have to be wrapped like that? That seems wrong..."
This compromising position of his made Alex let out a hiss, and this one was of humiliation instead of pain. After all, who would want to be seen in such a lewd pose, especially during a battle? Professor Frances obviously wouldn’t.
"...."
**************
"Argh! F**k you Alina! So you want to force me into this kind of play? What a shameless b***h! And here I thought you are a pure woman that I can corrupt by my side. But as it turns out, you’re actually this perverted too!"
Judging by his words and his murderous tone, one can assume that Alex was highly interested on breaking himself out of the chains.
But because of Professor Frances’ sword that was still stabbed on his soul, and the immense pressure by Queen Mother’s continent, Alex was left unable to do anything.
It seemed as if Alex has to wait for a few more seconds before he can free himself, something that did not sit well with him.
"Argh! F**k this!"
The problem of these chains alone was already enough to infuriate Alex, but as time passed by, he and the others discovered something in the chains that made him rage more.
As it turns out, these chains actually had a second effect in it, and it was this second effect that made Alex’s anger fly through the roofs.

The chains that came out of ALina’s dark gate was filled with runes related to slavery and compliance, two runes that are only used by Dark Magicians who wanted to enslave living creatures!
There is no way that Alex can stay calm from this discovery, as the fact that his ’ally’ was trying to influence his mind was a great offense to him.
"F**k!!!"
Alina actually dared to enslave Alex, even if he was her comrade? How bold of her!
Who cares if the forte of Dark Magic is enslaving mythical creatures and other living beings? In Alex’s eyes, this does not warrant Alina the right to use her power to enslave him!
Only lesser beings should be targeted by this enslaving power, and Alex is not one of them!
