Duke and Vera silently retreated outside the passageway and exchanged a few words.
Vera said that if she exerted her full power within the Thorn Domain, she could bring the Ancient Vine into a state almost akin to sleep within a few breaths.
The demon relies on the aura of the Ancient Vine to operate; once the vine quiets down, it will momentarily lose its judgment of the outside world.
Duke nodded without saying much, as he had already figured out the remaining moves in his mind.
If he utilized these few breaths wisely, he could silently advance above the Ancient Vine through Wind Elementalization and pluck the seed before the demon reacted.
The two exchanged a glance and began their actions.
Vera withdrew to the corner of the stone wall, leaning against the damp vines, closing her eyes to concentrate.
