Chapter 353 The Ancient Ents Make A Move
-----
An enormous battle was undergoing in the middle of the Forest of Beginnings. Those that lived outside could clearly see it all happening, especially a large tribe of the last standing "male dryads", Ents, where Titan came from.
Naturally, they were not spared from the Demon King\'s malice, as their forest was just at the side of the Forest of Beginnings. Armies of Miasmic Treants were rushing to the Ent Forest, and the strongest of them all decided to fight themselves, uprooting from the ground and walking with several root-like legs.
The strong and tall Ents were no men that would back down from a challenge. Their enormous bodies easily overpowered the Miasmic Treants, as they kept a strong circular formation around their forest, protecting their patriarch, the Ancient Ent Elder, the strongest and youngest Ents fought ferociously against the Miasmic Treants and their mutations and variants, even defeating the Golems through the Ancient Magic of their Patriarch, which he conjured from the safety of the center of the forest.
However, as the battle in the middle of the Forest of Beginnings reached its climax, the Miasmic Treants began to lower in numbers, less and less began to appear. And they had the time to watch the enormous quantities of mana and spiritual energy being used in the forest of beginnings at this point. As spirits themselves, they also felt how the tree of beginnings had now died.
But even in such times, a group of brave warriors confronted the darkness that threatened with taking over the entire world. The Ents sensed the new presence of Titan, the youngest Ent of their generation, who was also a Player.
"Titan… I can feel the boy\'s presence."
"He has become stronger than all of us already, how incredible."
"He carries the Spiritual Flames…"
"Impossible, this means…?!"
"Elder!"
The Elder of the Ents nodded.
"I can feel it as well. That young sapling has evolved into the mythical Ent of legends, the only Ent that has ever wielded the flames, our greatest weakness… To think he would attain such a form. And he\'s not with just anybody either, the Hamadryad has joined him in this fight- no, he has joined her, as his Forest Guardian no less…"
The Elder Ent was able to see through the fluctuations of energy and detected what was happening even without being able to see the fight directly with his eyes.
"My children… the forest of beginnings needs our help. We\'ve kept our distance because we didn\'t wanted to disturb them, but now, they need us the most. Let\'s go cleanse the Miasma!"
CRAAACK!
The enormously tall Elder Ent began to take out his roots from the ground, surprising the rest of the Ents. He quickly began walking towards the Forest of Beginnings.
"But Elder, the danger is too much!"
"You\'re too old, you cannot walk at your age!"
"Please!"
The younger Ents tried to stop him.
"And what do you expect me to do, my sons?! While our youngest child is fighting there, we are here, hiding and cowering?! I would rather die protecting what really matters, than hide like a coward as I see the world fall apart in front of me!" The Elder Ent reprimanded the younglings, their eyes opening in realization of his will.
"Now, let\'s go. We\'re not called the Gardeners of the Gods for no reason. Let us purify the forest and help the Hamadryad and Titan, even if a little bit! Every little help counts in these perilous times!" The Elder Ent inspired the hearts of both old and young, as they nodded and began following him as they battled small hordes of Miasmic Treants in the way.
Meanwhile, as countless explosions happened in the middle of the forest, the many inhabitants fighting to protect it heard them all, directing their ears and eyes towards the flames erupting from the center of the forest.
"Lady Planta is still fighting, even after all these explosions… Part of the forest is being purified all at the same time…" Acorn\'s Grandfather said, looking at the distance.
"Big bro…"
"I hope you\'re alright…"
The two little squirrels, Almond, and Peanut, looked into the distance seeing Acorn flying across the skies on top of Huginn while throwing more bombs which he created, purifying the forest, and helping Planta little by little with everyone else fighting the enormous Miasmic Golems that began to surge everywhere, alongside new Miasmic Beasts that continued to appear.
Meanwhile, back in the Brownie and Gnome Village, the inhabitants were resting inside the fortress they made using the carcasses of the Miasmic Treants.
"They\'re doing everything they can, but will we even manage?" Rosetta wondered.
"We have to trust them… they have done so much already; we have to put our faith into them…" The Gnome Chief sighed.
The Brownies and Gnomes were praying to the gods to lend their divine power to Planta and Titan, as they fought bravely to protect their homes and… in a way, the entire world.
Lastly, within the Fairy Kingdom, Titania gazed into the distance, as the armies of Yokai and Undead kept the Kingdom safe, and she had recovered her health some more, as Planta and Titan bravely fought the Demon King directly.
"Planta… Titan…"
She closed her eyes, putting her hands together to pray for them. A small amount of her divine spiritual essence began flowing away towards them, giving them a little push, even if small, she wanted to aid them.
The monsters kept coming specially to the fairy kingdom, the players in here, such as Angelina and the other guild masters, were unable to leave their positions or the fairies would be overrun and massacred.
"Impressive, she\'s really managing to fight that Demon King!" Gandalf said in surprise.
"What sort of insane skills did she got?!" Anikitty wondered.
"That\'s what I call being blessed by RNGesus." Erdrich sighed.
"Planta… You\'re more than we ever thought… Doing a World Class Event all by yourself, you never stop surprising us." Angelina said while smiling, hoping for the best. "Don\'t worry, we\'ll protect this place for you."
