Elina's way of fighting was indeed different from what Hilia had anticipated.
It might be because she happens to counter the demons here.
After charging into the node, life elements were released from Elina, quickly enveloping the entire node. Subsequently, Hilia sensed the pollution within the node being separated from the life element barrier, and those separated life elements were used by her.
The external magic power here was thin due to the high concentration of pollution, which would usually weaken the combat abilities of a Tier Four Mage casting spells here.

Even though there were no plants or animals here, the place was brimming with vitality, allowing life-attuned mages to thrive in such an environment.
Once a simple field formed, the earth began to sprout various plants, posing an obstacle for the demons charging in.
Soon after, a greenish glow appeared from Elina's magic puppet.
