Max lightly landed and lept to the side quickly, smirking at the net took effect leaving him with drastically slowed reaction times. Bringing lith around he grinned more as the lance formed and it's ability was put to use, the roots of the trees around the two moving under the ground around them. He singled out the roots around his opponent and forced them to grow rapidly directly at the man before he would be able to move out of the way. Doing his best to trap and pull the large man under the ground below him before he got his strength back, any roots that made contact with him just as quickly began to grow on the metallic mans 'skin'.
