Seeing this scene.
Alya and Gauss nodded.
Gauss waited a little.
Alya needed some time to prepare before casting Entangling Spell over a long distance.
Fortunately, the seeds Raven Ike had delivered earlier had already been infused with Nature's Power by her in advance.
Even from this far away, the Nature's Power inside the seeds was still within her reach.
Only after confirming that Alya was ready did the two exchange a glance. Gauss then took a deep breath.
He wasn't nervous. He was excited.
Alya lightly tapped the Oak Staff in her hand against the ground.
Nature's Power, brimming with vitality, flowed through the soil and rapidly spread outward like ripples.
Before long, it had reached the ground where the seeds lay.
"Buzz!"
As if by a miracle of life, the unremarkable seeds immediately burst into lush green vitality. Roots extended from them, burrowing into the soil and greedily drawing in the natural energy underground. The next moment, arm-thick vines burst forth!
"Swish, swish, swish!!!"
Like giant serpents awakening, the vines slithered and coiled across the snow at lightning speed. In the blink of an eye, they had wrapped around the dozen or so Crowmen gathered around the campfire.
Some of the wary Crowmen had already gotten to their feet, anxiously scanning their surroundings.
But the Crowmen who had been dozing or resting hadn't yet realized what was happening. They opened their eyes and looked blankly at their companions.

But the vines holding them captive gave them little time to react. Soon, they had wound around their bodies.
"Caw, caw!" Unease spread among the Crowmen.
They clawed at the vines wrapped around them, but more vines kept growing and entangling them.
Just then, Gauss sprang out of the snow.
"Thud!"
His snow boots came down
