NOVEL NEXT Chapter 348: Mutant
On the last side of the battlefield was the fiercest fight.
The lightning spirit shot his lightning toward the mutant at the same time as Flora.
Both of them were supposed to hit the mutant, but the latter actually punched them in rapid succession.
Boom!
Boom!
A series of explosions occurred, engulfing the mutant. In addition, the fire and wind spirit came from the side. The wind spirit summoned a tornado while the fire spirit torched it up.

However, the mutant simply flapped its wings, producing a massive gale that neutralized the tornado.
"!!!" Flora looked shocked because right after, the mutant rushed ahead, trying to close the gap between them.
That was where her plant spirit activated its power. A giant root emerged from the ground to function as a wall. If the mutant tried to leap over it, other spirits would be able to catch up.
To everyone's surprise, the alien charged straight in. Instead of leaping over or tearing the root apart, the mutant punched it. He punched it so hard that the root ended up snapping into two, resulting in close to no loss of time.
But as soon as the mutant managed to push through the last obstacle, it was his time to be shocked. Flora was already waiting behind the root.
A magic circle appeared on her back as lightning sparked around her.
The mutant tried to overwhelm her with his speed. His right hand tried to rip apart her arm while his other hand wanted to take her head.
However, Flora ducked as if she were able to see his movement in slow motion. She skillfully avoided with a minimum movement as her palms reached for the alien's chest.
"Heart Shock."
As soon as her palms made contact, the magic circle was activated, releasing a massive spark, blowing the alien away.
The alien flew for more than a hundred meters (328 feet) away and crashed into multiple trees.
His chest had an inward dent as the alien spurted out blood as though it had been squeezed out by the shock from earlier.
"How many times do you think I have fought Noelle? While it's not my main fighting style, I still can fight in close com—!" Before she could finish her words, a wound suddenly appeared from her shoulder all the way to her cheek. The blood spurted similar to the alien.
"!!!" Flora widened her eyes in shock. She pressed the wound while looking at the blood stuck in her hand. "This is…"
Flora couldn't help but furrow her eyebrows. "When did…"
What happened earlier replayed in her mind. Everything was supposed to be working perfectly, but at the last second, there were several sharp blades emerging from his arm.
It seemed the nail and superhuman strength weren't the only thing she needed to worry about.
"I see. This is going to be hard." Flora took a deep breath, trying to calm herself despite her injury.
Other aliens that had been pushed back earlier started encroaching on the mountain once again. The plant spirit summoned the roots, trying to make them in disarray.
The aliens ended up either getting crushed or thrown into the air by the roots. They did their best to maintain their original objective, but that was when the flame spirit released his power.
He burned all the roots so that the aliens near the roots ended up getting burned alive.
The mutant stood on his feet. While the spirits were getting distracted, he covered a great distance between him and Flora in a single leap.
The wind spirit waved its hand, trying to create a ripple of wind to slow him down. The lightning spirit came forth with a lightning bolt from above.
With this, they blocked the top and the front. Although it wouldn't be enough to stop the alien, it would give enough time for the other spirits to reach them.
To their surprise, the mutant actually tilted its body forward and punched the ground, turning it into a crater. This punch caused the dust to cover his track. This way, they wouldn't know where the mutant would be coming, giving a tremendous advantage to the mutant.
Flora's expression turned grim. She had formed another magic circle on her back, as if trying to fight the alien in close combat again.
In that instant, the alien broke through from the front.
The lightning spirit and the wind spirit tried to stop him, but they were too late.
The plant spirit called for the root, but once again, it was destroyed. This time, the mutant was ready if Flora was going to fight him in close combat.
However, Flora chose to leap away, trying to get some distance from him. The alien made one last leap to cover the remaining distance between them.
Flora's magic circle glowed as if she had expected such a move from the alien.
The magic circle let out a sphere-shaped shock that would electrocute everything within the sphere.
The alien didn't bother to protect itself. It allowed Flora to hurt him, as his skin began to get scorched.
Still, the alien managed to reach Flora.
Flora raised both arms to block the punch, but it was so powerful that it launched her into the mountain. It broke her right arm.
The alien didn't realize that it had miscounted the attack. There was one more spirit that hadn't attacked him.
It was the fire spirit.
A circle of flame appeared out of thin air.
"!!!" The alien wanted to get away, but the circle had tightened around his waist before he could escape.
The alien let out a scream as it was desperately trying to break free. Even though the alien had a powerful elemental resistance, it didn't mean much when it was basically being compressed by that element.
It was as if the alien had a belt of magma that was getting tightened every passing second.
The alien managed to snap it, but it had caused a lot of damage. A part of its organs had started to melt. The black cell tried to regenerate it, but there was no way Flora would give him that chance.
Still, no one would expect that a great change would occur on the battlefield. And it all started with Jinwu.
