11 Forest of Anger (2/2)

”Leeeerkkkk” Treant 3

Holy Hell!!! The tree's are standing up on their roots! I was afraid this would happen at first but, I figured they couldn't move and could only stare. 'Kess we need to get out of here!'

I give Kess an order and we all start sprinting towards the cave. However, the treants start blocking it with their roots so we can only go in the direction with the least amount of them.

My arms get clipped a couple times while Set keeps the more deadly swinging branches away. The spiderlings are less lucky, getting caught in tangling roots or being stomped. into the ground. Some sacrifice themselves to protect Kess too.

Finally! An open field is ahead and further on is a 40 meter high rocky cliff. We start pulling way ahead as treants are pretty slow. I get the few spiderlings that Kess doesn't need and have them carry me up the face of it. These guys are pretty strong. Most of the ones we left behind are still alive but, they are slowly being suffocated to death.

I look down to see dozens of treants reaching the cliff. They just make angry snapping noises at me and wave their branches. I pay close attention to them as they may have some special means to do something. I was right, out of all the treants a short but massive one about 6 meters thick at its base and 5 meters tall comes out. Its roots are really ridiculous as well as they are a meter each.

It latches onto the cliff and starts climbing. Shit.... The cliff is against the wall of the cave so we have nowhere to go.... We can only fight... I start converting portions of the cliffs edge into poison resulting in it sliding down onto the shorty. He starts screaming a terrible sound and is squirming. The trees below scatter as poison pours down the cliff

It works! Again! Again! After the third time I'm out of mana as it still hasn't entirely regenerated. Shorty has turned a terrible shade of green and is even more pissed off. As he makes his way up I think of another plan and send a couple messages to Set and Kess.

*Rumble

*Rumble

As his head makes it over the edge, I first have Kess jab a couple metal spikes into his face, resulting in an ear-piercing roar. After that I had Set, who had detached from me earlier, slice a couple of vital roots. One last spike to the face and shorty went tumbling down and....

*Craaashhhh

A large golden mist as big as me swirls around and I draw it in.
