Titan unleashed his Chimera Elemental Beast Spirit right away. The enormous creature began running across the surroundings, unleashing flames, winds, sharp boulders, ice, and bright arrows made of light, easily defeating many of the foes surrounding us in an explosive and colorful spectacle. The rest of us didn't slacked either, as we continued our onslaught without stopping for several minutes.
I continued looking at my Map to see how things were advancing, the army of monsters was approaching at a rapid pace but things were improving, apparently, the monsters were all being driven to us. Perhaps the more we killed, the more attractive we became for them, kind of like provoke abilities in video games. It seems that there's a natural buildup of enemy negativity directed towards a player when you defeat a large quantity of such foes.
The more foes we took down, the more the snakes approached us, fully knowing they would easily get killed by our might. The Snake Queen really thought that numbers were everything, didn't she? I really don't like to act cocky but we were rocking it! Especially when the Great Spirit finally was recharged, approximately seven minutes after the first barrage of Grand Harvest.
"GRAND HARVEST!" She proclaimed, emerging like a large carrot, and raising her small root-like arms. The Healthy Soil Tiles I had built up all this time quickly sprouted with life, as almost a hundred Walking Vegetables and Walking Fruits emerged, obeying our will, they clashed against the remaining two hundred snakes, quickly overwhelming them.
We supported the summoned vegetables with everything we had. Despite everything just being minutes since it all happened, it all felt like an eternity. At long last, after a long fight, the numbers of snakes reached less than a hundred, and then less than fifty. When ten more minutes passed, a few dozen snakes were left, which we easily crushed with the remaining Walking Vegetables and Fruits left behind.
"Phew, we are done!" I sighed in relief, looking around, there were nothing but a few little snakes running away. We had truly done it!
"I-It's over, right?" Sighed Titan.
"Not really, what about the giant thing?!" Asked Rita.
"Oh…" I muttered, quickly realizing that in the middle of the battle, I had completely forgotten about the most important thing!
TRUUUUUUMMM…!
As if fate was trying to punish me, an enormous and thundering sound resonated across the skies, as the gigantic snake began to break through the barrier at long last! The gigantic thing was going to get through! We had to stop it!
"That thing's going to destroy the entire city if we don't do anything…! Ugh…! I am so tired though…! But we don't got the time to eat and recover our Satiation!" I cried, as we ran towards the Gates. I suddenly remembered I saved a lot of Food Items for Emergencies inside my Inventory, mostly premade sandwiches and raw veggies and fruits, there was no time to savor their taste though!
"Guys, here! Eat it all up quickly to restore HP, MP, and Satiation!" I said, giving everyone sandwiches and fruits that I got from my own Harvest and also from the Great Spirit Magic.
Everyone quickly began wolfing down everything while running, their Stats quickly began to temporarily increase. The crops I made in my farm all had stat boosting-effects after all, and any food I made also received some nice effects that were given to those that consumed it, increasing stats temporarily like buffing items would usually do.
"Oh?! My stats have raised! My Stamina is completely back too, and my MP is almost full once more thanks to the MP Potions of Acorn that helped get everything down! Thanks a lot, friend!" Titan seemed to have already grown attached to Acorn. He had brought a ton of potions and even his own cauldron. With his potions and my food, we were almost completely recovered to 100%!
"No problem! It is my duty as an Alchemist to bring potions to the party! But more importantly, Lady Planta… You said these fairies were struggling? Is there a disease here?" He asked.
"Something similar to the disease that struck the squirrel-folk, Acorn. It is very similar, but perhaps even worse because it is like a curse that not even the Queen of Fairies has been able to dispel." I said, as Acorn's face seemed slightly shocked, but he quickly changed his expression, seemingly intrigued. He suddenly took out a small little book and began writing notes in it with a small feather with black oil.
"I see… A curse. Is it not caused by the Miasma?" Asked Acorn.
"No, it is like a normal disease, it appeared and spread out…" I said.
"Hm, I see… Any more effects?" Wondered Acorn.
"Erm, I think it slowly drains the life and mana out of those that contracted it. Do you think you can do anything for it?" I wondered, as Acorn nodded and noted everything down.
"It's certainly possible, we need to first make an All Anti-Curse Remedy, which requires a few materials. I have around over half of the available in my Item Box, but we need to go pick up the rest, maybe the fairies could have some. After we are done with the All-Anti-Curse Remedy, we need to make Cure-All Base, and then refine it with the Venom of the Snakes here. They must be all related." Said Acorn.
"Eh?! Venom?! And how did you come out with such a conclusion?" I wondered.
"I acquired a new Skill some days ago named [Doctor]! It seems to give me the ability to discern diseases and their origins by writing them down and pondering their origins. Of course, it is merely just theory, but I am almost a hundred percent sure!" Said Acorn. "After everything is done, we need to refine the medicine into pills through the cauldron, so everyone can easily digest them with some water!"
"Alright, I'll put my trust on you, Acorn!"
"Thank you, Lady Planta. I will not disappoint you…!"
Author's Note: I didnt really noticed before but this novel despite having low collections has a lot of Power Stones! This probably means there's a lot of you guys constantly reading and supporting me, even if you're a small group, you seem very loyal, thanks a lot for reading.
I've been publishing less chapters because I wasnt able to write as many over the week, but I think in a few more days I should be able to resume the 2 chapters a day. Once this becomes a premium novel I hope you guys can stick with me, but seeing how Webnovel keeps ignoring this novel, I dont even know when will that even happen... But hey, I still like writing it, so we'll continue in this adventure together!
Also please check out my other novels! Reborn as a Ghost and Glitched System are very similar to this one, go check them out and support me! Thanks!
