Ascension of the Sylvan Cosmos - Volume 1

Chapter 101. Relentless Fighting. Sylvans Transform!

Liu Shu looked on with a neutral gaze as the five people closed the distance.

While the attacks of the Aether Mana users were devastating, the Rose Fairies and Ants were hidden by her wall, avoiding fatal strikes that were created when the explosions occurred. At most, Liu Shu could see the weaker ants and Rose Fairies being blasted away by the air pressure they generated.

'Hm. They will breach the walls.' Liu Shu was certain that they could do so. She had not expected the defensive qualities and skills of the shield bearers to be so high. Even when the giant trees on the walls or <Mother Of Thousand Flower Field> landed attacks, they weren't dealing more than fifty damage per attack.

Of course, that slowly sliced the tens of thousands of Phoer Body Shards they had. However, it was not enough to stop them.

As she expected, the five of them arrived in front of her dented wall, and all five of them had activated different skills simultaneously, aiming at the same place.

"HAAA!"

"BURST OPEN!"

With their mighty shouts, a massive shockwave spread when the attacks landed, and Liu Shu saw how the root wall was ripped apart, creating a massive hole that passed through it.

Seeing the opening, one of the humans rushed the rest. The female shield bearer ordered. "Quick! Break through and kill all those low-level monsters! We can deal with the World Tree later!"

The Earth Sylvan frowned as they moved without her orders and shouted. "Wait! Don't rush!"

However, how could they listen? The Phoer Body Shards of the melees were already at 70%, while the rest had around 80% of their vitality left.

The attacks of the supposedly low-level creatures were proving to be much more effective than they expected.

Nevertheless, once they crossed the wall's boundaries, the group that had not been attacking as much moved.

The Myconids, who didn't have strong long-distance skills, were experts at crowd control and inflicting ailments on enemies.

The Level 10 Myconid took the lead and stomped the ground several times in a row, shaking his body and making his large fungal head jiggle. The rest of them followed, doing the same actions.

While it looked funny, the effects were nothing but that.

The humans were covered by several mists of different colors, creating a brownish fog once they combined. The Earth Sylvan's face changed when she saw that the Rose Fairies and Ants were actually retreating even when they had breached through and shouted. "DON'T BREATHE THE FOG IN!"

However, even she was a bit late, having inhaled a little of that mix.

[You've been affected by <Myconid Breath>. You will receive the following ailments: <Dizziness>, <Nausea>, <Headache>, <Numbness>, <Poisoned>, <Blood Coagulation>, and <Vascular Stiffness>.]

The five people's faces paled tremendously as the same message flashed in their minds. On the battlefield, even a simple headache was enough to become lethally dangerous. All of the effects they received combined were enough to place a healthy human bedridden; it was superfluous to mention what would happen when a soldier on the battlefield received them.

The Earth Sylvan's mind flashed with several thoughts, trying to know what to do. While she had learned spells that could alleviate some of the symptoms, others were not so easy to cure. "<Mind Sharpness>."

The first thing was to naturally cure all ailments she could, like <Nausea>, <Dizziness>, <Headache>, and <Numbness>.

However, the last three were a real pain, and she could do nothing about it. Hence, she warned while the melees protected them from the constant ranged attacks of the Rose Fairies and Fire Ants. "Our stamina has just dropped severely! We need to deal with the World Tree first since these are not a threat!"
