"Young man, consider this payment for the information I gave you", Jeffrey said.
Isari's aura waned, he dispersed his magic. He dropped back onto the ground and released his barrier. The mantis' left immediately, the woman dropped out the air. Isair's arm returned to normal.
"Sir wolf, my favor is paid. And our relationship ends here", isari said and turned around.
Green and brown chains burst out of the ground.
"What's this?", isari said.
"Boy, I cannot let you leave here today", the lady said.
"Helmina! What are you doing!", Jeffery said.
"Quiet Jeffrey, I must protect my forest", she said.
"Madame Helmina, he is leaving, why do this now!", Jeffrey said.
"Lady, I see this magic comes from the planet itself, I truly can't break it now. You knew at full power this spell wouldn't work. It seems i underestimated you", isari said.
"Your mind is as sharp as your abilities, since you disrespected me, I will not let you walk free, and I'm not sure that I can kill you", she said.
"No worries, by my calculations, thus can only hold me for two years. This abilities can restrict my powers but cannot absorb them because of my constitution.
You have two years, I, Isari Isshin, will raze this forest to the ground, I will kill every being first, then I will kill you. You have been warned", isari said.
The chains tightened, branches circled him, grew out of him, and after a few more seconds he turned into a huge tree. During this transformation he cosmic eyes never left Helmina's face.
"Madame! You have doomed us all!", Jeffery yelled. She punched him in the gut, sending him flying through trees and stone.
He got up amd said, "We bow to your for protection and because you're powerful. We are not stupid, I will leave this forest", he said defiantly.
"You defy me for this human!", she yelled back.
"You are an arrogant fool, You have been powerful for too long. You think you can just do what you want and with power everything can be settled", Jeffrey roared!
"Is that not what it is. Is it not survival of the fittest", she said arrogantly.
"Thats why I said you are a fool, you have lost your foresight in these last two centuries. Did you see the mayhem and destruction he caused, just to test his abilities", he said.
"I did, I solved the problem, no?", she said.
"Idiot, no you didn't. This is my fault as your teacher and elder, I have failed you and everyone in this forest", he said.
"What do you mean, Jeffrey", she said.
"That boy, is stronger than you right now, and not by a small margin. Whatever he is, he has boundless strength", he said.
"Thats impossible, we were equally matched just now", she said.
"Did you not see when he destroyed the ants!", he said.
"Yeah, but that must've cost him a lot of mana, or was some kind of artifact", she said.
"Did you verify?", he asked.
"I did not?", she said.
"So you risked the lives of all your subordinates on a whim, or a suspicion!", he barked.
She then realized he was right, she just assumed, could it be, she was too cocky, too hasty. She now held a shadow of fear.
"This.....you're right. So what do you suggest then", she said.
"Do you know why I risked my life, and my favor for him to stop?", he asked.
"Because I'm your student, and your family lives in this forest", she said.
"Though both of those are true, it wasn't the main reason. First, he never intended to kill everyone in the forest, he only kills those who tries to kill him. Secondly, he is reasonable and knows how to repay favors, thirdly, if you die won't it throw the forest into a war for territory. Both inside and outside it? I have told you countless times, think before you start punching people", he said.
"Old man i hear you, but you never gave me a solution", she said.
"Youuuu...I was getting there. Every one must leave posthaste. Also release him earlier and pled for your life, or the lives of your subordinates", he said.
"Impossible, i and a Transcendant, I am one of the strongest beings on this planet, I am a leader of races, I am Helmina, The Eldian of Earth! I Will Not Bow!", she said.
Her aura surged, destroying the surrounding areas, then realizing he mistake, her aura waned. Then she remade the destroyed forest.
"Then wait for death, my student, this is goodbye. I will not fight death with you just because you're too prideful", he said as he limped away.
"You must be mistaken in your old age Jeffrey", she said as she disappeared.
In his mindscape:
Isari practiced all his moves to perfection, made new ones, increased his strength and Will. He fought himself, he even reworked all the enemies he has fought, they were stronger, faster, smarter. Even so, he killed them all.
He could feel his body grow stronger, it felt like years went by in his mind. Then decades, then centuries, then thousands of years. He reveled in the thought of killing that woman. He wanted to slowly savor her demise.
Jeffrey went around the forest, begging and pleading others to leave the forest. Few believed him, and even the ones who did wouldn't leave. They believe that Helmina was invincible. She even defeated two human emperors, the Elf king, and the Zymein emperor. (This is single combat, she did not fight them all together).
"Husband, what are we going to do next?", the slender wolf asked.
"There is nothing we can do. They will all die here. I tried", he said.
"But, is there really nothing we can do. Our friends and family is here", she said.
"No. That boy was dead serious about slaughtering the forest. I know people like him. If you're his friend he'd go through fire and water. But if you're his enemy, he will not rest until you're dead or he is dead", he said.
Shaking her head, she grabbed their children and ran. Jeffery followed with the remaining cubs. A lone tear fell from his eyes.
