As we continued running forward, I began utilizing my skills to their maximum potential, disregarding my MP completely! I summoned a small Sunlight Spirit and kept him near to me. Spirits summoned through Dragon Veins can keep up with me for as much as an hour if they don't do anything at all than just following me.
So this little sunlight spirit activated my Photosynthesis Skill quite easily, and enhanced my stats even further, alongside my HP and MP regeneration.
"Great Spirit, I need your help!"
"Count on me, Planta!"
"Guys, while I smack the place, you look for any threats!"
Everyone nodded, as the only one in the team with the power to change Terrain, I had to do all the job, the least everyone could do is protect me with everything they had.
As I mounted Belle, we galloped around the Root Forest rapidly and moving forwards. Everyone else kept up with us by flying as fast or mounting their own Familiars. I consecutively hit the ground using my Shovel-shaped weapon, constantly unleashing shockwaves of Spiritual Essence everywhere.
[The Terrain has changed!]
[You gained +6 Terrain Tiles!]
[The Terrain Tile has suddenly expanded due to the effects of [Terrain Expansion]!]
[You have expanded your Terrain by +60 Tiles instead!
The entire surroundings gained color in mere seconds. Dozens of Spirit Sprouts appeared within the surroundings as well as the Miasma was completely cleansed!
[You have converted the surrounding Terrain into a [Forest Terrain]!]
[The Power of [Nature] is making you and your allies stronger!]
The power of more Skills such as Daughter of Nature activated. These not only boosted my power and my Regeneration, but also those of my surrounding allies by a bit, everything stacked together, as we continued moving, an enormous wave of spiritual essence of rainbow color continued pushing forward, purifying the Miasma everywhere and bringing back to a healthy state all the trees!
"We are doing it!" I couldn't help but smile.
However, a sudden projectile at an incredible fast speed reached my face!
Titan immediately shielded me with his body.
A Barrier he had easily broke apart as he was suddenly pierced by an enormous blade imbued with Miasma.
"Don't worry, I am fine!"
He quickly grabbed the sword and took it off his chest. He was bleeding sap, but the wound quickly began to regenerate. My very presence and the Terrain effects cleansed any Miasma from his wounds.
"More importantly, there are more coming!" Achlys said, as she quickly spoke to everyone else, an enormous quantity of Blades imbued with Miasma were fired at us from all directions!
By spreading out my senses using Huginn's All Seeing Eyes, I quickly spotted the culprits, six Cult Members firing these Miasmic Blades through conjured Magic Circles. They were desperately trying to fend us off from reaching further.
However, we were going to break through no matter what!
"Onwards!" Titan roared. "Planta, don't you worry, we'll protect you!"
"Let me give you a little hand though!" I said with a smile, quickly conjuring some spells. "[Grace of Nature]! [Forest Fairy Call]! [Magical Flower Garden]!"
Suddenly, an enormous flash of light took over the entire [Terrain] I was taking over, as the Tiles all began to change. The Healthy Soil I had transformed those Miasma Tiles into suddenly began to flourish with beautiful flowers everywhere. It was like an ocean of colors.
Even the darkness surrounding us changed as if the flowers were bringing the light of sunlight into our surroundings! Just like back then against the Snake Queen, I have conjured this powerful Terrain, the Magical Flower Garden Terrain!
"This power… I can feel it once more!"
Titan suddenly was one of the first ones to receive the power of this Terrain, just like back then, I had already assumed before that it might be because he was an Ent and was very connected to Nature. And just like the first time, his entire body bloomed with many flowers everywhere!
"This feeling… I have yet to get accustomed to it…"
Suddenly, I felt a Spiritual Connection with him and only him. Of course, it was most likely because, just like me, was also a Nature Spirit Player! And like before, it felt as if I was instinctively doing something. I was giving him a command.
"Garden Guardian, Rise!"
Titan's flowers bloomed as they transformed, merging with his bark, and turning into an incredible and colorful armor. He suddenly gained a gigantic spear made of colorful metal and his body emanated a rainbow aura, now, even stronger than before!
[You have assigned the compatible [Player: Titan] as your temporary [Garden Guardian Commander]!]
[Your Terrain and your Powers and the Great Connection you hold with [Player: Titan] have made the [Garden Guardian Commander] Title Evolve into [Mystical Garden Guardian Knight Commander]!]
"I am growing even stronger?!"
Titan suddenly saw a long red cape emerge from his back, made out of leaves. He gained a second and powerful spear in his other arm, and his armor continued becoming bulkier as well.
"Then let's do this!"
He immediately charged forward, and as if they heard his call, many of the flowers in this expansive garden also awakened, they were all adorable little flower soldiers and flower beasts, raising their arms and marching onwards!
Titan rushed forward, slashing through the various projectiles using his newfound powers as he unleashed powerful piercing blows with those spears he gained. Behind him, an army of tiny flower soldiers and flower beasts emerged from within the terrain, working mostly as bait for the attacks than anything.
CLAAASH! CLAAASH! CLAAASH!
Titan's enormous size quickly broke through the blows as he absolutely tanked everything, reaching one of the Cult Members!
"I won't die without a fight, you monster!!! {Miasmic Sacrifice: Miasma Demon Transformation}!"
The cult suddenly exploded into an enormous amount of black smoke, as his body suddenly began to shapeshift into an aberrant and twisted form…
