Ascension of the Sylvan Cosmos - Volume 1

Chapter 104. Threats Uncovered.

Flor's kick was quite effective, making the woman lying on the ground twitch and snap out of her unconsciousness.

Seeing the Earth Sylvan's eyelids flutter open, Flor went straight to the point. "Which group are you from? Why are you attacking us? What are your intentions?"

The Earth Sylvan looked at Flor and quickly moved, trying to attack her. However, as if she had been expecting it, Flor used her terrifyingly high stats to dodge easily and sent a wind crescent that sliced her arm off.

The Earth Sylvan cried in pain, grabbing the stump as blood poured out. "You little monster won't have a good end if we are not released!"

Flor snorted and picked the Earth Sylvan's arm, throwing it toward Liu Shu.

Liu Shu looked at the flying arm with an intense gaze. She had tasted the Level 15s legs, and it was honestly super nutritious and delicious. Sadly, it was not much, as the legs were really small compared to her body. So, it was like just having a bite of a really delicious dish.

The leader and Earth Sylvan followed the trajectory of the arm, and their eyes widened when roots burst from the ground, coiling around the arm in midair and dragging it into the ground in a silent yet terrifyingly swift manner.

Flor chuckled. "It seems that she has taken a palette for high-level Flesh."

The Earth Sylvan's face paled, and she shouted. "Are you crazy!? Feeding a World Tree flesh when they are young is nothing but a foolish action! She will grow and become a bloodthirsty carnivore that hunts creatures as sustenance instead of just to protect themselves! This will only change the World Tree into a predatory creature instead of a ruling being! Other powers will never accept such a World Tree and will slaughter her!"

Flor raised her eyebrow and looked at her. "Oh? Your description is quite... specific. Are you speaking from experience?"

The face of the Earth Sylvan became ugly, and even if she didn't answer, Flor knew she guessed correctly. Flor shrugged. "To be honest. I don't care. I actually would prefer if Liu Shu became aggressive than being on the defensive and eventually being controlled and swallowed by the rest."

The Earth Sylvan asked, bewildered. "Aren't Rose Fairies supposed to protect nature? What kind of way of thinking are you having?"

Flor laughed. "Aren't Sylvans supposed to defend nature? Why have you become corrupted enough to become rootless?"

With her face twisting in pure fury, the Sylvan screamed. "DON'T YOU DARE CALL ME ROOTLESS! YOU BRAINLESS MONSTER!"

Flor laughed when she saw the Earth Sylvan struggling to stand up while throwing profanities her way. She was, after all, tied down by Verdantia's summoned roots, so she couldn't move properly.

Liu Shu didn't like how the Sylvan was speaking, so one of her roots burst from the ground and coiled around her neck, squeezing tightly and blocking her airway. 'Why are you being so mean to Flor? A corrupted Sylvan like you has no right to say anything bad to her!'

The Earth Sylvan's face changed when she tried to take air in, but the powerful roots were completely cutting off her airflow. She couldn't expel or inhale air, making the situation extremely asphyxiating and stressful.

Her vision flickered as she clawed at the powerful roots. However, the sturdy bark surrounding them only gained a few scratch marks and did not loosen in the slightest. Feeling the blood vessels in her head swelling as the sensation of death approached made her want to call for help. However, the ruthless World Tree only increased her tightening, threatening to break her spine.

Ignatia raised her eyebrow and said. "Liu Shu... Well, first of all, release her before she suffocates to death. You've gotten a bit strong, little one."
