But just seconds later, a voice made him change his mind.
"Mom, what do you need me to do?" The little sprite Nasi had actually woken up and was talking to the huge tree!
"Flower Elf, go sit on the Throne outside and lower the Ancient Tree Wall," the enormous human face said urgently.
Its voice was genderless and now somewhat shrill in its anxiety.
Yet little sprite Nasi seemed oblivious, as if she were used to it; she looked somewhat fearfully at the vast, blurred human face, then glanced at the familiar glowing tumor-like part of the tree's lower trunk.
It's Mom's presence... Nasi thought to herself, nodded, and with her slightly damaged red wings, weakly fluttered towards the outside.
Seeing this, Colin almost wanted to stop Nasi right away.
But a glance at the tree emitting a misty glow made him suppress the thought in his heart; he quietly awaited the right moment.
The Dark Red Wind kept blowing, yet it seemed weak because it wasn't the day for the wind to blow, even though it was steadily accumulating.
As Nasi drew nearer to the Emerald Throne, Colin grew increasingly anxious.
But it seemed the cavern's Dark Red Wind still needed some time to reach the density of a windy day.
The more anxious he became, the calmer he needed to be; lying at the bottom of the deep pit, feeling the cold ground beneath him, Colin worked hard to activate his Superbrain.
Ka-ka-ka—
A faint noise came!
'Not good!' Colin's expression changed; this subtle sound clearly signaled that the Ancient Tree Wall was falling!
On the other hand, the color of the Dark Red Wind had deepened, and the enormous face had shrunk back to the top of the canopy; the dark red tumor below was gradually emitting a deep red wind...
Right, the tumor!
It was as if something occurred to him; Colin's train of thought paused, and his eyes suddenly brightened.
The next second, without any delay, the surging Magic Power in his body rushed out urgently, so forcefully that even his skin began to bead with blood; the fluctuation of witchcraft brewed in Colin's slightly raised right palm.
"Huh? Is that Tree Elf still alive?" The enormous face keenly noticed this disturbance and sought to cast its gaze.
Yet all it saw was a large orange-yellow scorching Fireball, whirling and expanding, hurtling towards it!
"Weak attack..." The enormous face looked disdainful.
However, the next moment, when it realized the true target of the fireball—the tree tumor below—it panicked.
"No!"
But by then, it was already too late.
The blazing fireball carved a lethal arc, crashing vehemently onto the tree tumor.
The next instant, the attacked Dark Red Tumor suddenly swelled, then contracted sharply!
Bursts of deep purple wind were squeezed out, spreading rapidly across the entire cavern in the blink of an eye.
Buzz—!
The enormous face no longer had the mind to pay attention to Colin; it used all its energy to resist the suddenly intensified pollution wind.
Colin, on the other hand, took this opportunity to fly out, quickly reaching before the Emerald Throne.
"Great giant... what are you doing here!" Nasi asked in surprise, then wiped the sweat from her forehead, adding, "Such a hot wind, really annoying!"
"Nasi, raise the stone wall!" Colin said hastily, with no time for pleasantries.
The strength of the pollution wind was now considerable, and he had to exert all his might to ensure his normal activity.
"But Mom asked me to lower the stone wall..." Nasi hesitated, glancing back at the Ancient Tree of Life.
"That's not your mom, that's not Anilasa!" Colin continued to shout.
The Ancient Tree of Life could easily break through the defenses above the Throne, but it didn't mean he could. With Nasi staying on top, the Throne would naturally protect her from external disturbances.
"Little Nasi, take a good look at that!" Colin urged her, pointing his finger at the Ancient Tree.
It was the site of the Tree's thorn ring, where a new flower elf body was gestating; perhaps because the enormous face no longer had the energy to look after it, it was continuously being eroded by the Dark Red pollution wind.
The brown-green branches wilted gradually, flowers withered; without the True Spirit, but just an empty shell, the body of the flower elf fell and crashed to the ground.
Nasi followed his pointing finger, and when she saw clearly, her expression showed a faint shock, somewhat lost.
These days, although the Ancient Tree of Life had not been able to complete the transfer of the True Spirit ritual entirely, the two brief attempts had made Nasi's True Spirit fade a bit, like wiping dust off glass.
A rare look of pain slowly appeared on Nasi's face.
She suddenly remembered a memory.
A memory so profound it was almost etched into the True Spirit.
Yet, such a deep memory seemed more like viewing someone else's story to Nasi now; nevertheless, this story helped her understand everything.
Back then, "she" was the only Tree Elf who had not fallen, not been seduced by the Divine, and had come to protect the Ancient Tree of Life during the great battle.
Yet she was easily killed, and her True Spirit could not follow Anilasa, who had escaped with the severed branch, leaving her behind in the cave.
Later, perhaps due to the robust Life Force or the influence of some special power, a new consciousness quickly arose from the remaining branch.
Thus, with the help of the new consciousness, she was resurrected.
