Krul flexed his muscles, roots and vines that had wrapped around his body shattering and breaking. "A worthy opponent! May the Gods finally recognize me!" He took a giant step, a vine shattering and breaking from across his feet. The roots that could hold cave walls together were breaking apart with a simple flex of his muscles.
"Oh crap." Phantom paled slightly, gesturing with his arms towards the villagers that had stopped to gape at the action. "Everyone evacuate!" The villagers jolted into movement as if Phantom's shout had woken them up from a trance. They dove and scrambled towards shelters closer to the center of the village while guards reformed their defensive lines.
Even Mother Asena joined in the action, grabbing her cane and holding it before her with ferocity written upon her old bones. "About damn time we see some action around here!"
