Chương 418: Chapter : 418

Her face changed. The innocent, scared look completely vanished. A totally fierce, protective determination replaced it. She was ready to fight. She was ready to show her true power.

"Uh oh," Ken mumbled quietly. He took a step back.

"The sweet girl is getting angry. I really hope she does not grow a giant tomato plant. I hate tomatoes." Risa raised both of her small hands. She pointed her palms toward the dark ocean water. She closed her eyes for a brief second. She focused all of her emotions. She focused her love for her friends. She focused her anger at the monster. She opened her eyes. They glowed with a brilliant, intense green light. Risa unleashed her magic. She activated her terrifying, highly aggressive offensive power.

It was a power she kept totally hidden because it frightened her.

"Veins Jail!" Risa commanded clearly. The magic reacted instantly. The entire coastline began to tremble. The sandy beach shook. The wooden docks vibrated violently. Ken almost dropped his piece of candy. He grabbed a wooden post to keep his balance.

"Whoa! Earthquake! Or plant-quake! The ground is moving! This is a severe violation of my relaxing afternoon!" Suddenly, the shoreline exploded. Massive, incredibly thick branches ripped right out of the sand and dirt. They did not look like normal plant roots. They looked like giant, pulsing, muscular tentacles. They glowed with a bright, sickly green light. They were covered in sharp, jagged thorns. They moved with absolute, terrifying speed. The giant vines shot across the top of the ocean water.

They did not sink. They slithered over the waves like massive snakes. They headed straight for the Titanoboa. The sea serpent saw the glowing vines coming. It let out a confused hiss. It tried to dive back under the water. It was too late. The massive vines violently wrapped around the colossal monster. They coiled tightly around its thick, scaly body. They wrapped around its long tail. They pinned its massive jaws shut. The vines acted like a giant, inescapable net. The Titanoboa thrashed wildly.

It slammed its body against the water. It tried to break the plants. But the glowing vines were unbelievably strong. They squeezed tighter and tighter.

"Whoa," Laxmi gasped. She treaded water nearby. She stared at the giant roots.

"Risa is totally amazing! Look at those plants!"

"Get out of the water!" Naomi yelled. She swam toward the docks. The other girls quickly followed her. They climbed up the wooden ladders. They collapsed onto the dry planks. They were completely soaked. They breathed very fast. They watched the incredible display of raw, natural dominance. Risa did not stop. She kept her hands raised. Her green eyes glowed brighter.

The thick, glowing vines were not just holding the monster in place. They were parasitic. The sharp thorns dug deep into the Titanoboa's dark green scales. They pierced the tough armor. The vines began to aggressively suck the magical mana right out of the monster's body. The glowing green light on the plants pulsed rhythmically. It looked like they were drinking the monster's energy. The Titanoboa roared in pure agony. The sound was muffled because its jaws were tied shut. It thrashed frantically.

It felt its immense strength draining away.

"This is absolutely breathtaking," Sayma whispered. She pushed her wet glasses up her nose. She looked completely amazed.

"She is draining its life force directly. The botanical magic is overpowering an apex predator." Zinia grinned a huge, proud grin.

"That is our healer! She is tougher than all of us combined!" Ken stood behind a wooden crate. He peeked his head over the top. He watched the giant vines squeeze the monster. He let out a long, lazy whistle.

"Note to self," Ken mumbled quietly.

"Never, ever make Risa mad. Do not steal her snacks. Do not hide her teddy bear. She will turn me into plant food. That is a very scary superpower." The Titanoboa struggled weaker and weaker. Its movements slowed down. The vines kept drinking its mana. The girls cheered from the docks. They thought the battle was officially over. They thought the monster was totally defeated. But the Titanoboa was an ancient, mythical apex predator. It had lived in the deep ocean for centuries.

It possessed an unbelievable, bottomless pool of magical energy. It was not going to surrender to a plant. The sea serpent stopped thrashing. It went completely still for three seconds. Then, its yellow lantern eyes burned with a blinding, furious light. The Titanoboa unleashed every single drop of its remaining, raw physical power. It did not use magic. It used pure, unfiltered muscle. It let out a deafening, oceanic roar that completely shattered the silence of the beach.

The roar was so loud it made Ken cover his ears again.

"Ouch! My eardrums!" Ken complained loudly.

"Why is everyone so loud today? This is a noise pollution disaster!" The monster flexed its massive, scaly muscles. It twisted its colossal body with explosive, brutal force. SNAP! CRACK! BOOM! Risa's thick, glowing branches could not hold the sheer physical pressure. The vines snapped like dry twigs. The giant roots shattered into a million pieces of totally useless driftwood. The broken pieces rained down into the ocean. The green light faded and died instantly. Risa gasped. She stumbled backward.

The sudden breaking of her spell caused a magical backlash. She fell onto her knees on the wooden docks. She breathed very fast. She looked totally exhausted. Her amazing attack was completely destroyed.

"Risa!" Princess Iris cried out. She ran over and hugged the small girl.

"You did amazing. Just rest now." The Titanoboa was entirely free. And it was absolutely furious. The monster reared high into the sky. It towered over the docks. It looked down at the 13th Unit. It wanted pure, merciless revenge. It wanted to destroy the people who tried to trap it.

"It broke out!" Naomi shouted. She jumped back to her feet. She drew her wet daggers.

"Get ready!" The monster retaliated with devastating speed. It did not try to bite them. It spun its colossal body around. It swung its massive, armored tail directly toward the surface of the ocean. The tail crashed into the water with unbelievable, earth-shattering force. SMASH! The impact created a massive, highly pressurized shockwave. A huge wall of solid water shot across the surface. It moved faster than a speeding train. It aimed straight for the wooden docks.

"Brace yourselves!" Sayma yelled politely but frantically. She threw her hands forward.

"Absolute Hexagon!" A golden honeycomb barrier snapped into place. But Sayma was tired. The barrier was weak. The pressurized water shockwave hit the docks. The sheer force was brutal. Sayma's golden shield instantly shattered into tiny pieces of light. The water crashed directly into the vanguard. Naomi, Ira, and Laxmi took the brunt of the hit. The impact was like getting hit by a speeding truck.

"Gah!" Naomi choked. The water slammed into her chest. She flew backward and crashed hard into a wooden piling. Laxmi tumbled across the wet planks. She rolled several times. She hit a stack of fishing nets. She groaned in intense pain.
