*Horace falls to the ground unconscious, a large burn mark on half of his face. Fortunately, his falling prevents him from getting smacked with the club.*

*Providance's strike is able to chop the club in two. However, by targeting the weak point, the massive head of the club is sent flying straight into Elias. The heavy log slams into her face and torso, sending her flying into a tree. This one isn't a spirit though.*

*The tree spirit can now be observed more closely now that its main threat is gone. A small cluster of spiked fruits are on its back, though these ones are smaller than the jackfruits from earlier. About 4 vines extend from its back, tipped and lined with spikes. Though unarmed, its arms seem to grow bulkier and harden, eventually becoming maces.*

*A small fruit is launch by one of the vines at Providance, and the spirit charges in, performing a right long hook while its left hand guards its face.*

*Providance would've been able to notice almost instantly what was the spirit about to do,making him be able to easily cut the fruit mid air by doing a timed upward slash, he would however keep his ikakalaka up in the air as he knew the spirit was approaching, they would've quickly made their way near each-other and when the spirit was finally about to be in his range, he would've swiftly started a downward strike, chopping off it's right arm.*

"Slow and over confident of it's strength,a major weakness, this will be it's downfall."

*After saying this, providance's hands would start to glow red as he readied his next attack.*

*As the fruit is struck, it explodes into hundreds of tiny fragments, occasionally leaving small welts where they hit. Nothing serious.*

*However, as Providance expects to cleave the tree spirit's arm in two, it instead knocks the arm backwards. He's safe, but the weapon is still intact completely, with only a small mark where the steel hit. 2 vines attempt to grab Providance's forearm, while the tree spirit throws a left hook this time.*
Julian
*Providance would've backed away a bit, making sure the vines couldn't catch him and he would've ducked to dodge the left hook,he would've taken the small amount of time ducked to cast fleet foot, making him even faster, after that he would quickly take advantage of the spirits over confidence by striking, and spiking it's face as it wasn't protected anymore by it's arms, a careless decision as this particular strike made by providance was a lot more deadly due to it being empowered.*

"Careless,Return to dirt parasite."

*The vines are dodged, and the upward swing cleaves the spirit's face in two. It stumbles back, holding its hands in front of its damaged face. However, instead of dying, it retaliates with a lunging left hook, moving to its own left/Providance's right. The titan can see that the wood is rapidly reforming.*
Julian
*As the spirit tried to walk away providance would've just walked at a slightly faster pace so it couldn't walk away, meanwhile his hands would glow red once again as he swung down on the left arm that was trying to hook him once again,making it plummet straight to the ground if it wasn't cut, this fight was but a fight of endurance as since the spirit had no vital organ, it relied on mana, and the more providance forced it to spend mana, the faster it'll die, and providance's own mana regenerated fast enough for him to constantly empower his strike.*

Richard
*As its hand is struck down, it retracts as soon as possible, covering the face once more. The right hand of the tree spirit launches out with a right straight punch.*
Julian
*Providance would've put his ikakalaka facing in the way the of the spirit's hand, his hands would then glow once again as he did a "Stab" At the punching hand, knocking it back or even possibly splitting it in half, after that, he would carefully look at the spirit's arm, looking for any sort of possible weak point he could use to force it's regeneration.*

"Futile attempts,even if it would land a hit and where to do damage, it would be only a minor setback, and yet the longer this fight goes on the less likely it is to stay a 1v1"

```emp strike again
Fleet foot 4/6
Mana 85/100```
