章 1131: An Unexpected Menace

-----

Patrick was given a shouting Skill.

Emilia was granted the power to burn any foe.

And Hermes?

Due to his quick movements and his ability to hit many foes at once while keeping himself safe, I gave him a power to abuse that.

By merely slightly piercing a foe, small vines would grow over their bodies, the more he attacked, the larger they grew.

The vines would quickly absorb he lifeforce of their hosts, weakening them tremendously in the process.

Yes, this Skill…

[Demonic Abyssal Energy-sucking Greed Vines]!

"Those vines…!"

Hermes was confused at first, but quickly came to learn how to manipulate them, with his greater intelligence, he was able to easily manipulate the vines, forcing them to move, wrap, and destroy things he wanted.

The Xenoids suffered, the vines consuming them from the inside out all while they tried to fight, only to be easily taken down by Hermes or the rest.
