Chapter 2985 Legends and Reality (Part 1)

"I want to do it." Ryka took a single step inside the cave and spread her roots again.

The world energy flooded her, making her skin turn violet as the light reached her mana core. Her body swelled, shrunk, and snapped trying to accommodate the raging flow of energy.

Less than one minute later, cracks appeared on her bark and green sap bled out of her wounds and orifices. Her body jolted back like she had touched a high-voltage cable, sending Ryka writhing on the ground in a seizure.

A thin smoke came from the burned roots on her hands and feet which smelled like charcoal.

"Stay back and don't use any kind of mana on her. She's about to burst." Lith said while watching the Titania's core pounding against her life force.

It was overloaded with world energy that the core couldn't assimilate fast enough. Her body broke down and regenerated, holding itself from falling apart by sucking the nutrients in the fertile soil around her.

If not for the Fae's unparalleled regenerative abilities and the Griffon-like constitution of the Titanias, Ryka would have already died. If nothing changed she was still going to die, just in a slow and excruciating way.

She couldn't use darkness fusion to suppress the pain. The slightest stimulus to her mana core hastened the collapse of her body.

"Follow my lead!" Lith cast the tier five Spirit Magic spell, Sealed Space.

It cut Ryka off the world energy and, once her core absorbed what little was left inside the emerald cube, the area around her was devoid of natural mana.

Solus was the first to cast another Sealed Space and the members of the Hand of Fate quickly followed. Bytra and Xenagrosh had no access to Spirit Magic so they both cast all six elemental sealing arrays to keep the world energy at bay.

Due to the vacuum in the Sealed Space, no more world energy entered the Titania's body. Her mana core processed the energy overloading it, slowly but steadily reducing the burden on itself and the strain on the life force.

The multiple Sealed Spaces and the elemental sealing arrays ensured that the vacuum was contained and preserved. Nature abhorred a void and the world energy would have slowly seeped through the first Sealed Space Ryka if not for the multiple layers delaying the process.

After a while, the spasms ended and the cracks on the Titania's body started to close.

He said pointing at the Abominations, Lith included.

"Just a minute." Ryka replied. "Even though the legends are inaccurate, there's a reason only plant folk can use the Gardens."

She disappeared into the ground and split her body into countless roots and vines. The small pieces of the Titania fused temporarily with all forms of plant life, using them to ground the excess mana and world energy that afflicted her.

On top of that, the phenomenon allowed her to stock on nutrients and replenish her vigor without the use of a breathing technique. When she emerged from the grass patch, she was back to her peak condition.

The group whistled in admiration, wishing they could recover so quickly from such grievous wounds.

"Not to mention that I might remember something useful while we are down there. The legends are all we know about the Garden, or rather, I know. Without me, you guys would be lost."

They returned to the cave on foot, scouting their path like it was the first time. The entrance was still open and unguarded but this time they went in without hesitation.

Xenagrosh went first, using her nose to lead the way. Ryka was behind her to look around and notice anything that might indicate the presence of their mark.

"Let me try something." She touched the inside of the cave and used her Eldritch side to absorb the world energy.

Xenagrosh felt pain, the flow was so intense that it was smothering the Chaos and invading her troll side, making her hand swell until her fingers looked like sausages.

"Sadly, I was right. Even we have no use for this thing." She stepped away and her hand returned to normal. The Chaos fed upon the excess world energy and Decay on the excess side, restoring the balance.

'Unless I get Tezka to teach me that energy into matter thingy.' She inwardly added.

The tunnel was large enough for two of them to walk abreast but they preferred to advance in a single line to buy time for those behind to react in case something happened on the front.
