Chapter 249 (1): Save Me, He’s in My Head
The tsunami swept down with devastating force, the waves crashing down with endless energy and destructive force like a stampede of horses, engulfing everything in its path. Facing the tsunami, the forest rooted in the earth was no different from children’s building blocks. The trees were easily toppled and uprooted.
Green light surged in Wayne’s eyes. Ten meters ahead, green vines burst from the ground, reshaped by his thoughts into triangular barricades. The tsunami crashed heavily against the barricades, thundering toward the sides at high speed with thousands of tons of water.
The triangular barricades twisted, growing to half the height of the waves and splitting vertically down the middle to form two hands. They pulled the tsunami apart like they were opening curtains.
Wayne communicated with nature with a frown, demanding it cut ties with the assassins. It was either him or them.
However, it wasn’t effective.
Nature greedily wanted both, expressing her attachment to both sides in a roundabout way. While Wayne was young, vigorous, and virile like an athlete with immeasurable potential, capable of easily delivering more than what the two assassins could only deliver after exhausting themselves all night, the two assassins were diligent artists and sweet-talkers, who persisted in professing their devotion even when nature ignored them.
In other words, they were simps!
Wayne cursed under his breath. After a brief conversation, he understood nature’s stance. It wasn’t that nature was unwilling to take sides, but that he wasn’t performing well enough. As a beginner, Wayne’s ability to communicate with nature was limited, despite his better talent.
On the other hand, the two assassins had limited talent and couldn’t communicate with nature as deeply as Wayne, but they were experienced. Having maintained their elven state year-round and wandered every part of nature, they had seen a bigger and more extensive world.
Wayne could only communicate with plants at the moment, while the assassins could communicate with not only plants, but also the water elements of rain and the earth elements of the earth dragon.
Though they lacked outstanding talent, they closed the gap through hard work. That was the two assassins’ forte. They had established a tie with nature way before Wayne.
Wayne could replace them, but he had to surpass them in quality and quantity before nature would cut ties with them.
