Chapter 2339: More And More Massacre.

But if what they think is true and there really is a powerful plant in the forest protecting it, it would seem that the terrifying plant is not content with just staying in the forest and has decided to stretch its blood limbs into Reinfield City. This made Legion consider a lot of things.

Legion-12 said, “At the very least, the terrifying plant is not afraid of offending the nobles by invading their precious city.”

Legion had time to ask themselves philosophical questions, but the people dying on the battlefield didn’t have that privilege. Everyone was trying to escape now. But they were failing at it because the vines had become too powerful to be escaped.

It had only been five minutes since they were planted, but the vines had grown to the length of a kilometer. This length wasn’t in height, as that was useless to the vines. They had grown across the ground so that they would be able to reach more prey.

The saving grace was that the vines couldn’t move from where they were planted. The only option they had to expand their reach was to grow. But growing needed food, specifically blood.

If there was no source of blood around, the vine plants wouldn’t be able to grow and would be stuck. But there was a lot of blood food around, so the vine plants were growing rapidly and extending their reach quickly.

Their growth was similar to that of a boulder falling down a mountain. Once it started and picked up momentum, it became more and more difficult to stop.

After killing a few people, they would grow enough to reach the next people to kill. They would then kill this new batch of people and then grow long enough to reach another batch of people.

The vine plants were growing faster and faster. They were like a drop of blood that landed in a clear pool of water. The surrounding water was quickly dyed red by the blood.

After ten minutes, the vine plants had become a forest that covered entire territories. They now had the option to keep spreading across the outer city or venture into the inner city.

The vine plants chose to do both. They are not ones to say no to extra food, so they decided to spread to the sides across the outer city while simultaneously growing forward into the inner city. Legion wasn’t sure about this.

On the one hand, they wanted the beasts to deal a deadly blow to the city. So the spreading of the vine plants throughout the outer city and inner city is a good thing for them.

On the other hand, they don’t want to be directly affected by the vine plants. So they don’t want the vine plants to spread to their territory.

Legion-8 said to the rest of them, “On the bright side, by the time the vine killer reaches our territory, the whole outer city will be finished by then.”

That did make them feel a little bit better. They didn’t think it would happen, but if it does happen, they won’t be the only ones to lose, and they won’t be the ones to lose the most.

The ones that will lose the most, apart from the people who have already lost their lives, are the nobles. After all, they are the ones who own the city. Even the lives of the gang members and gang leaders that were lost are a loss to the nobles too.

So when the nobles saw that the situation had reached a breaking point and that the vine plants couldn’t be stopped by others anymore, they decided to take action.

They sent a single legendary godclad and some helpers to stop the vine plants. They only sent one legendary godclad because most of the legends in the city belong to the same pathway.

It is of little use to send two godclads of the same type. They also thought that a single one of them would be more than enough to get rid of the vine plant. But they also sent some rank 6 godclads to help them.

One team of one legendary godclad and three rank 6 godclads went to deal with the vine plant in the east. Another team of equal size went to deal with the vine plant in the west. So two legends had been mobilized for this operation.

The rank 6 beasts sensed this and left Reinfield City immediately. They were already ready to run at the first sight of trouble, so when trouble appeared, they didn’t waste time running for their lives.

Both legends were nobles. Both of them were flying, and both of them used their rank 7 divine ability called Domain.

One of them said, “It is forbidden for plants to grow in this city.”

The other said, “Carnivorous plants are forbidden in this city.”

Domain is similar to the rank 3 Setting Rules divine ability. But while the Setting Rules divine ability only affects other divine abilities, the domain divine ability can affect anything.

What’s more, the Domain divine ability can bring the advantage of Land Sovereign to nobles regardless of where they are. So the cost of using divine abilities in the domain will be reduced by up to 90%, depending on their mastery of the divine ability.

In this case, plants have been forbidden from growing in the territory of Reinfield City. There are many plants in the city, but all of them will have to halt their growth until the domain is removed.

This means that all four vine plants were affected by this rule. This is the case with the rule that forbids carnivorous plants in the city. This rule made all four vine plants begin to wither and die.

The weakness of killers became obvious instantly, and that was that killers don’t have any defensive or evasive means. Killers can easily kill others, but they can also be easily killed too.
