I Got 999 Level With One Cut

The rapidly growing white plants did not stop because of Wayne's reaction. It was still growing rapidly, and then the tip of the plant suddenly split into three or four thin branches that were still twisting and moving upward. Each branch instantly split into even more tiny branches. It was like the growth process of a tree had been accelerated by an unknown number of times, but the only difference was... All the branches were still pointing straight at the sky.    

    

From above, it looked like a terrifying mouthpart of a strange little creature.    

    

It looked soft and slender. When it came into contact with the Black Body Shield that was blocking its path to Wayne, a cold chill suddenly rushed into Wayne's mind. William Wayne was horrified to find out that the moment the magic power in his body came into contact with the ___, it was fading away at an astonishing speed. No matter how hard he tried, no matter how hard he tried to circulate his magical energy, it seemed like he couldn't stop this process.    

    

This process was like a broken dam that couldn't be stopped.    

    

That black substance that he had always been proud of was now completely useless. The Black Body could indeed absorb and block elemental attacks, but this devil-like white plant was not attacking at all. It was extracting.    

    

In just a few moments, he could feel that more than a third of the magic power in his body had been drained.    

    

Mana was the lifeline of mages. Even if it was a powerful magician like Isaac, if he couldn't use magic, that's just like an ordinary person who knows a lot about magic. However, as the strongest Great Mage in the history of mankind, Isaac... The total amount of magic power in his body and the speed at which he recovered his magic power was terrifyingly fast. Even if he continuously released forbidden spells, it would not completely drain his magic power. Of course, William Wayne could not be compared to Mage God, but as a Titled Devil Instructor who specialized in defense, ever since he reached this level, he had almost never encountered a situation where his magic power was depleted.    

    

But now, he truly felt threatened.    

    

William Wayne had never seen such a thing before.    

    

Whether it was the illustrated handbook of magical plants at the highest level of Grand Library of the Empire, or the Encyclopedia of Life Magic written by the famous life element Titled Devil Instructor Mendel, no plant that could devour magic power had ever been recorded. This indescribable thing was the natural enemy of all mages. It should not exist in this world.    

    

This spell that shouldn't exist naturally wasn't invented by Riko.    

    

After all, she did not like the various shapes of greasy Cannibal Grass that life mages often fiddled with. Sometimes, she would use life elements to cultivate colorful little flowers, but she would not spend time to study and organize life magic.    

    

So this giant white plant that was dozens of meters tall was not specially built by Riko. Its origin was actually very simple. This was a control magic that almost all low-level mages would learn, the famous Demon Seeking Vines.    

    

Because this spell did not need to be operated when released, it could automatically find the characteristics of the enemy and was loved by countless mages who were unable to master control spells or were lazy.    

    

Riko had read about it when she was reading. It could actually absorb the magic of the person being entangled. However, the effect was very small. It was so weak that only low level mages would be affected. Moreover, the magic it absorbed would not return to the spellcaster, so it was a rather useless characteristic. So few people knew about it.    

    

Riko was inspired by this. She suddenly thought of increasing the scale of the elemental arrangement by hundreds and thousands of times, and then this thing appeared in front of her.    

    

It was essentially still a Demon Seeking Vines, but it was very large.    

    

But William Wayne did not know the truth.    

    

He did not know that as long as he used a few spells to cut off its weak roots, it would collapse just like how he dealt with ordinary Demon Seeking Vines.    

    

He felt that his life was facing an extremely serious threat.    

    

As a Titled Devil Instructor's intuition of danger, a huge wave of magic power erupted from his body and pushed Wayne hundreds of meters away with lightning speed.    

    

The vines noticed the change in Wayne's position in the air. The plant that was growing straight up turned around as if it had its own consciousness. It spread in his direction. Its speed was not much slower than most Titled Devil Instructor flying. William Wayne only managed to buy some time for the flying skill Spell.    

    

He had never been as grateful to the newly advanced Titled Devil Instructor, Elsa Boer, who belonged to the Aldran, for modifying the Wind Element Spell. Without the enhancement of the spell, the flying skill would not have been able to help him escape.    

    

Before William Wayne sped up and escaped, he took some time to glance at his two companions. They weren't as lucky as him. They didn't have time to react. Now, they were entangled by those terrifying vines. Magic was flowing out of their bodies at an astonishing speed. Wayne closed his eyes and let out a heavy sigh.    

    

Why did it become like this?    

    

Although it wasn't a glorious thing for a Titled Devil Instructor to run away without knowing where the enemy was, it was still better than being captured by the enemy.    

    

How many years had it been since a Titled Devil Instructor was captured as a prisoner?    

    

With this thought in mind, Wayne circulated the flying skill with all his strength and flew towards the border of Westfalen in the east.    

    

Riko Hasegawa looked at the figure in the sky and blinked her eyes. She did not chase after him, nor did she use any other magic.    

    

After a short consideration, she decided to let that unknown Titled Devil Instructor go.    

    

She would let him fly back to inform her.    

    

It wouldn't be good if the people of Westfalen really didn't know anything.    

    

So Riko carried the hem of her long robe and lightly jumped down from the huge steel cannon barrel.    

    

As for the 100,000 soldiers of Westfalen who were stuck in the mud and the two Titled Devil Instructor warriors who had given up resisting, Riko felt that they couldn't just stay there forever. So she went back to the fortress and decided to look for Lieutenant General Winkelmann, who should still be observing the battlefield at this time.    

    

She would keep these people as captives first.    

    

Riko very casually decided the fate of these people.
