Lady Withering was furious and wanted to pursue, but the chilling sensation at her back made her halt. Turning around, she unsurprisingly saw phisto had already torn through that black lightning and was chasing after her.
Though Andesa was frustrated, she had no choice but to turn back and face the challenge. She wasn't careless enough to expose her back to this Sword Saint of the iye people without preparing any spells.
phisto had already demonstrated his prowess to this Shepherd Tree Man's Shepherd Leader, proving he wasn't to be trifled with.
As he obstructed, Brand took the opportunity to spread the black thorns on the ground. This creation, being a temporary cultivation, had limited effect. At least in the young man's view, it would take spreading out four more similar-sized patches of plants to truly turn the tide of battle.
This was no simple task, as Andesa kept trying to thwart and destroy his 'achievents'. Initially, she used more straightforward ans like before, but phisto wasn't one to be underestimated. The Sword Saint of the iye people, despite seeming a bit off at tis, realized in that mont that Brand sowing those thorns was the key to changing the battle's course.
Andesa's spells beca increasingly sluggish, while his combat grew progressively easier, sotis even allowing opportunities to counterattack—sothing unimaginable at the outset.
So, he promptly shadowed Andesa like a persistent specter, leaving her no chances to act. Andesa quickly realized phisto's strategy and had to cease her sowhat awkward actions, resorting to using the Corrosion Elent to erode those plants instead.
This had a miraculous effect initially, nearly causing Brand's 'work' to fail, but phisto quickly found a defensive thod under Brand's guidance. He simply let his 'Grey World' cover those black thorns, leaving Andesa helpless.
This tactic drove Andesa nearly insane, yet she was at a loss—her Elent was indeed ineffective against phisto.
Thus, the chase continued, black 'Great Wall' gradually constructed bit by bit. Although Brand, from excessive blood loss, began to feel dizzy, Andesa's combat strength also began to crumble slowly. Her last spell casting almost failed, and the spell's backlash nearly cost her an eye.
This created a peculiar scene on the battlefield: one of the Twelve Pastors of the Shepherd Tree Man being gradually dragged into the Abyss by an obscure young noble from Erune. Not just the supporting Veronica with Brand, but even phisto, who was dueling Andesa, found it unbelievable.
Andesa, furious beyond asure, also finally felt a tinge of unease, knowing that this path could lead nowhere but to defeat. The Lord of the Shepherd finally ca to her senses, turning her massive form in mid-air to flee.
"Don't let her escape!" Brand imdiately shouted. The influence of the Golden Tree was as vast as a valley; in fact, by the ti Andesa thought of escaping, it was already sowhat late.
But just at that mont, he heard Qian's scream from nearby: "Watch out, my Lord!"
