<h4>Chapter 406: Verdant Cage</h4>


    The sudden emergence of a dozen nt creatures abruptly silenced the raspyughter of the Rank Two ck mage, who hovered at a low altitude.


    Although these creatures, bred in Lorianne’s worldboratory were typically used as cannon fodder, the appearance of over a dozen Rank One and Two beings entities startled even a ck mage of Van Basten’s mental fortitude.


    The most shocking were the four massive nts, towering over twenty meters high and exuding the aura of Rank Two creatures. As their verdant vinesshed out, Van Basten’s first instinct was to flee!


    However, he was already trapped. There was no way Sein would allow him the chance to escape!


    The greatest advantage of these nt creatures was the element of surprise.


    Sein, Yuri, and Sev, all Rank One entities, were now primarily focused on keeping Van Basten pinned down, preventing him from ascending to a higher altitude where he might escape.


    Though powerful, the nt creatures’ effectiveness was limited by terrain—they struggled in the ocean or at high altitudes.


    During the Viridian Venom me World war, Sein had only deployed these Viridescent Seeds on the me Continents, never during battles over the sea of moltenva.


    There was no such thing as perfection in the Astral Realm.


    Lorianne’s ability to cultivate these Viridescent Seeds showcased her superb mastery in dendro magic.


    As her apprentice, Sein was fortunate to benefit from her innovations, leaving him no room to be picky.


    Hundreds of Verdant me Eye beams rained down, effectively thwarting the Rank Two ck mage’s attempt to ascend into the sky.


    Although Sein’s signature spell remained the Verdant me Eye, his continuous enhancements had elevated this spell to near the peak among other Rank One spells.


    Characterized by a high rate of fire, formidable single-attack power, and broad coverage, it often caught those unfamiliar with Sein off guard.


    The overconfidence of the Rank Two ck mage was to be his own undoing. He knew a little about Sein’s Verdant me Eye spell.


    This was precisely why he had nned to capture Sein alive—to extract the secrets of the verdant me magic.


    However, his arrogance was costing him dearly now.


    At the same time, Yuri pushed her abilities to their limits.


    Two beams of bright red light shot out from the arms of the Burning me Unit she was piloting.


    Yuri''s prowess was not limited to only long-range energy rays and cannon attacks; her melee capabilities were formidable as well.


    Despite Sein''s previous critiques of Yuri’s constitution, the engineers from the Neisse Civilization did not rely on their bodies to fight.


    It was Yuri’s excellent piloting skills and the robust metal shell of her constructs that allowed her to wield thebat power of a peak Rank One creature in closebat.


    Without her mecha, Sein could easily take on two Yuris in physicalbat.


    However, when Yuri was inside her mecha, she could take on two Seins.


    This stark contrast highlights the differences in fighting styles and civilizational systems, suggesting that Sein’s earlier im about the inferiority of the Neisse Civilization’s developmentpared to the Magus World was not entirely urate.


    Rather, the development of Neisse Civilization represented just one facet of the boundless and dazzling diversity found across the billions of nes in the Astral Realm.


    Yuri, armed with two lightsabers and engaging fearlessly with the Rank Two ck mage, demonstrated her readiness to sacrifice everything for Sein.


    Sev also fought fearlessly, fully aware of the ck mage’s strength and cruelty—especially given that this was a Rank Two opponent.


    The bond between Sev and Sein, forged over many years ofpanionship, was unbreakable.


    If Sein had not rescued Sev, who was severely wounded in the White Raven Forest at the ck Magic Academy, this magic beast, known only by its codename, would have faded into obscurity.


    Sevs’ sharp ws reached for the ck mage’s shoulder, while conjuring an Aeroball spell with its wings, causing the magic shield around the mage to ripple.


    At this moment, the majority of the Rank Two ck mage Van Basten''s attention was focused on the nt creatures attacking from all directions.


    Although these nt creatures currently seemed slow andcked the ability to fight in the sky, Van Basten knew that if the fight continued, the situation would be increasingly unfavorable to him!


    The vines were whipping through the air, almost blotting out the sky.


    With the four Rank Two nt creatures as the primary force, over a dozen others sent vines shooting upward, forming what seemed to be a verdant cage intended to trap the Rank Two ck mage.


    Van Basten’s ability to elementalize his body should have provided him an advantage in escaping the entrapment. Yet, as he attempted to weave through thework of vines with his elemental body, a sudden wave of dizziness clouded his mind.


    This was a sign of poisoning, possibly even mental toxins!


    These greenish nt creatures were not only robust and formidable but also contained potent toxicity within their trunks!


    Although Master Lorianne, specialized in dendro magic, she was also the youngest apprentice of Grandmaster Verdant me, Feylis. This background gave her ess to a blend of knowledge.


    While Sein studying verdant me magic, he had already discovered its inherent potent toxicity.


    Although Lorianne did not focus extensively on pyro magic, the meticulous guidance from her master, Feylis, allowed a quick learner like her to grasp the secrets of venom magic while embarking on the path of dendro magic.


    Consequently, this knowledge was naturally incorporated into her cultivation of Viridescent Seeds.


    During the Viridian Venom me World war, Sein mainly used these seeds against the mecha from the Neisse Civilization.


    As a man-made metal product, the Neisse Civilization’s constructs were highly resistant to poison, causing Sein to overlook the toxic properties of the nt creatures catalyzed by the Viridescent Seeds.


    Nevertheless, Sein recalled that when these nt creatures were first deployed in the Viridian Venom me World, they sessfully repelled the assault from the mecha army from the Neisse Civilization and the native pyro elemental creatures at the main fortress base.


    At the time, Sein attributed this sess to Lorianne’s divine might and forbidden spell, but now he realized that the swift defeat of the native pyro elemental creatures mightrgely have been due to the toxins.


    He watched the green vines in the sky tighten and converge, forming an inescapable cage that trapped the Rank Two ck mage who had transformed into a mass of dark clouds.


    “Is it working?” Sein felt a surge of hope.
