Chapter 147 Eastern flank

The journey through the eastern flank came to a sudden halt halfway. The forest had grown even denser, the foliage thickening around them like a living wall. This time, the danger wasn't only from the aggressive plants; small, insidious leeches had joined the fray. These leeches were nearly undetectable, their bodies blending seamlessly with the plants. As the mages were preoccupied with fighting the attacking flora, the leeches would slowly creep up and attach themselves to their legs, sucking away their mana.

The team was engaged in a fierce battle against the plants. Thorne was summoning vines to block the attacks, while the spear mage and Lucifer unleashed fire and water to counter the onslaught. The air mages maintained their protective barrier, but the relentless assault was taking its toll. Amidst the chaos, the leeches made their move, latching onto the mages' legs and siphoning their mana.
