Ren was calculating a victory that would come slowly but inevitably, a scenario where the Mantis would remain even if in critical condition from exertion but where the Amphibian would fall first under the assault of constant drainage that would eventually exhaust even its Gold-rank reserves.
The Amphibian’s reserves would hit less than 40% capacity, at which point the explosions would fail. The healing would slow. The defensive options would collapse.
And then the Mantis, despite being at 20-25% reserves itself, would finish the Amphibian through the roots that the weakened beast couldn’t adequately defend against.
The arena will still be full of wood element growth.
It would be the ideal result that would leave Min with considerably reduced chances for the subsequent confrontation thanks to his second beast also receiving some attacks from the Mantis before it was destroyed or withdrawn.
Advantage maintained going into the Luna confrontation that still waited.
♢♢♢♢
The strategy was working perfectly. The Amphibian could no longer keep the plants at bay even with explosions because they were too weak against such density and lushness.
The vegetation had reached critical mass. Too many plants interconnected and deeply rooted. Clearing surface growth no longer solved the problem because the underground network remained stronger, ready to regenerate within seconds.
Min was going to lose his first beast...
That was what the numbers indicated. That was what logic and calculation suggested was inevitable.
But then something changed in the battle’s dynamics.
The Amphibian exploded in a sudden release of energy that wasn’t an offensive detonation but rather a pure manifestation of mana being liberated from a restriction where it had been contained.
The digestion of the beasts it had consumed before had finally completed, with the absorbed beasts converting into highly usable power.
It wasn’t a gradual process... It was a flood.
It was timing that Min had waited patiently, knowing around how long it would take for the amphibian to get this buff and planning the exchange so that the boost would arrive at the moment where his last hidden card would matter most.
Min had known to keep exploding despite the losing efficiency in mana, had known that if he could maintain combat for just slightly longer, the window of opportunity would appear right when Ren thought victory was secured.
He wouldn’t expect what the peak in mana would let the amphibian do.
Ren wouldn’t recognize the attack until it was too late to adjust appropriately. Because Selphira didn’t either...
By the time it became obvious, the strategic calculations would already be obsolete.
"Rain Dance!" Min shouted with enthusiasm that was absolutely genuine, with the satisfaction of seeing a complicated plan execute perfectly resonating in every syllable.
The Amphibian channeled a huge quantity of mana into a single technique, with the equivalent of 10 percent of its total reserves releasing in less than one second. The rain dance was a massive expenditure that would have completely exhausted a lower-rank creature but that the Amphibian executed as if it were a reasonable investment rather than a desperate gamble.
Ren observed the development with confusion about the logic of the specific technique Min had chosen. "Are you insane?" he murmured while processing the implications, his mind running through the consequences that would follow.
