Ascension of the Sylvan Cosmos

Chapter 171. Confession and Hunt.

Flor's shout and the sound of people being killed quickly alerted everybody else in the camp. The Rose Fairy Queen didn't really bother hiding her presence, so the higher levels opened their tents after the short commotion and quickly appeared outside.

The Level 15 shouted as he evaluated the situation. "Turn on the lights and quickly regroup. We are being attacked by Rose Fairies!"

Then, he shouted. "Rose Fairies! Why are you attacking us!?"

Flor appeared before the Level 15 and extended her hand. "Why are you in this area of the forest?"

The man's face changed as a wave of pure air blasted forward, rushing at him with tremendous momentum.

Bang!

[-5410]!

He crossed his arms in front of his body and received the blow, which sent him flying backward for several meters. The heaviness behind the attack made some of his bones crack while his internal organs suffered. 'So strong!? It feels like I've been hit by a metal plate!'

The man spoke quickly, seeing that a few people had already died. He thought swiftly and shouted. "Rose Fairies! Are you willing to give a wrong impression from the start!? You are already monsters, which people won't accept, and with this behavior, you are exacerbating the issue!"

Flor asked, torrents of winds swirling around her figure. "Why are you roaming this area? Explain that to me, and some of you might survive."

The Level 15's face crumpled. "We are not that weak to surrender to some Rose Fairies!"

Flor raised her eyebrow and looked behind her. "Are you sure?"

The man looked over, and his facial expression involuntarily transformed into disbelief. One of the Level 10s had already died to the Rose Fairies and the rest were injured enough that they couldn't even move.

Looking around, the man noticed that two people from his group were missing, so his eyes flashed for a second. "Even if you capture all of us, we won't ever tell you anything!"

Flor hummed. "Is that so?" She flapped her wings and moved forward, reaching a dangerously close distance with the man. "You are part of the <Void Witherwood Exarchs>, right?"

The Level 15 didn't react, but Flor ignored him. "You've been roaming the forest for at least three days. Not only that, I know that you intend to get information on the <Golden Sap Town>." The Rose Fairy Queen commented. "You and the people behind us will die quite a horrific death if you don't tell me exactly what's happening."

The man raised his eyebrow. "And why would I do that?" He smiled mockingly and spat at Flor, who quickly dodged. Then, trying to use that small distraction, he ran. However, to his dismay, a root tangled with his feet, and his body fell over. 'Really!? There wasn't a root there a second before!'

Flor looked at the root and raised her lips in a smirk. Then, she looked at the man and mocked him. "What a pathetic attempt. You spit at me, and then you trip? Honestly, you looked much more intimidating a few seconds ago when you just sat on the ground like a beaten-down animal."

The man gritted his teeth and looked at Flor. "You will regret this."

"Will I?" Flor asked with a flippant tone. "I feel like you and the ones behind are the ones who are regretting it. Look."

The man looked over and saw that some of the Level 9s that were captured were crying and struggling to take off their mouthstraps. Flor's question reached him. "I wonder... How much do they know? Will I have more answers from them or from you?"
