Hill pondered for a while, then took another careful look at the cactus... Apart from being fairly high-level for a plant and containing abundant energy, there really was nothing special about it.
It had yet to evolve to a level where it could become a Treant.
Desert plants generally rarely even grew to gigantic sizes.
Most of the energy they had to spare beyond mere survival went down into the ground.
Depending on their species, they might grow a little larger, but their roots were the priority.
Even plants like cacti, which stored some water in their trunks, developed downward first.
This cactus was clearly on the verge of evolving. The edges of its long, fleshy spines gleamed with a hostile metallic sheen, and they were plainly very hard.
Although it could handle ordinary creatures without a problem, it was clearly helpless against a natural predator like the Night Butterfly.
Even its defenses against fire were not particularly good.
Of course, ordinary little fireballs would not even scorch its skin, but the courtyard was currently full of all kinds of flammable material... Namely, the white spiderwebs hanging in every corner.
Before hiding herself, Rose had summoned a vast number of little spiders.
For her, these ordinary, animal-level spiders could practically be summoned without limit and commanded with ease.
So, while Gaia and Asmodeus were playing their game of collisions, these spiders had exhausted their vitality... A spider's silk glands could not produce endless silk, but it could convert its vitality into the venom inside those glands... They had covered the entire courtyard, and even the walls of some buildings outside, with spiderwebs.
Although Hill did not know why the Lord of Hell had completely ignored what Rose was doing, he knew perfectly well that neither of them had anything good
