Min was in trouble…
It wasn't delicate vegetation that could be easily torn away but now rather robust vines with root systems penetrating deeply into the battle arena and interweaving in a network that covered the battlefield increasingly completely.
Some roots were now 2-3 meters deep. Others spread horizontally for 5-6 meters before diving down again. The network was becoming three-dimensional, creating a structure that was harder to push back with each passing second because destroying surface growth no longer eliminated the underground infrastructure.
Min responded with the same tricks and explosions that were almost identical but progressively smaller each time.
The pattern was clear. Each explosion consumed reserves that weren't being replenished as fast as they were being used. The Amphibian was still generating the secretions needed for detonation, but production rate couldn't match consumption rate when Min was forcing full-body explosions every some seconds.
