Lightning Is the Only Way

The battle was violent. The roots constantly clashed at each other, and they were continually severed. When one root was severed, the opponent absorbed the root to gain more Life Energy, which would result in the production of even more roots.

Meadow's domain slowly extended, pushing Narcissus back.

After a couple of minutes of violent fighting, 50% of the underground now belonged to Meadow.

"Get off my seat!" Meadow transmitted aggressively. "That's mine!"

However, Narcissus' answer was different from what Meadow had expected.

"Alright, we can have a fair battle now," Narcissus answered.

And then, Narcissus actually began trying.

As soon as Narcissus got serious, Meadow felt herself be overwhelmed.

They were both only fighting with some basic Laws, which made their Laws about equal. They were also only fighting with their Realms, physical power, and concentration.

This was not a battle to the death but a battle for supremacy.

One could see this as the equivalent of arm-wrestling for plants. A human could simply get their other hand and punch the opponent in the face, but that would feel like a loss to the person punching.

They would feel like they had lost in a battle of honor.

Meadow was overwhelmed with all the roots of her opponent.

Her opponent was using his roots with absolutely unreal finesse. It was like every single root was its own living being, which had gone through thousands of temperings on their path to power.

In just a minute, Meadow's territory was reduced to 20% of its previous size.

"Do you have any idea with how many other plants I have battled in my life?" Narcissus asked. "I lived in a thick forest filled with powerful plants, and the plants were even more numerous than all the beasts in the world."

"In comparison, I can tell that you've had it easy," Narcissus added. "You probably haven't fought many plants in your life. Your control over your roots is subpar and simple."

Meadow immediately became frustrated when she heard Narcissus' words.

However, Narcissus was right.

Meadow had spent a lot of her time in Styr's Tribe, and there hadn't been many relevant plants in there. Then, when Styr and the others had left, Meadow had already become one of the most powerful beings in the higher world, making all forms of war with other plants meaningless.

In short, Meadow was very inexperienced when it came to plant warfare.

Meanwhile, Narcissus had become truly powerful amongst a dense forest.

He was the strongest plant in the strongest higher world.

Meadow couldn't fight Narcissus on his own terms.

"Go on," Narcissus said. "You can unleash your actual Laws. I don't mind."

Meadow snorted.
