As soon as Yvlena heard the attack she spun around and came face to face with clig mandibles of the giant spider.
She screamed, falling backwards and burning herself on some of the tarry sap that had dripped to the floor.
"Ow," she whined.
[Rabbit Knight Cast Rabbit Volley (05MP)]
The rabbit uself forward, sprinting on fast little legs towards the giant araid that threatened his summoner.
He weaved around the rge creature, avoiding the Spider's legs as it struck the ground with the iion to hit him.
The spider's mandibles clicked as it moved, releasing a strange ing sound as it sh0t its web at them.
[Forest Spider Cast Web Spit]
Yvlena sliced through the stringy strands before it had a ce to touch her or her summons.
[Yvlena Cast Carrot Burst (50MP)]
She unched a destructive beam at the Forest Spider who lifted its legs in a defeance.
[Forest Spider Cast Quake]
The Spider struck the ground hard causing the forest floor to shake. Miasmic Sap fell from the trees, narrowly avoiding the party as it spshed.
Yvlena stumbled, almost losing her footing as the floor tio shake underh her, she stuck the tip of her bde into the ground, weathering the storm until the rumbles came to an end.
She ran forward, taking a shot at the Spider's prone legs.
"Take this!" She yelled, sshing a deep gash in the creature's appehe Spider ed, clig its mandibles and snapping its beak.
[Forest Spider Cast Bite]
Faster than Yvlena could avoid it, the araid's beak nipped her forearm painfully.
Yvlena drew back, clutg the arm whiow bore an imprint of the creature's beak.
She raised her sword and struck the Spider's face, the creature squealed in paireating from her instantly.
A wave of weakness washed over Yvlena, she stumbled and soon her skin took on a greenish hue.
[Yvlena inflicted with poison]
"Damn it!" She cursed feeling another wave of illness rock her, her knees quaked as slowly she sank down, uo hold herself up.
"I've got to brew an antidote or else..." she said. She didn't finish her sentenstead, ying her cauldron on the ground and looking for the antidote recipe she had purchased from Risel.

Yvlena swayed as she stood over the bubbling cauldron. Sprite and Rabbit Knight hahe Forest Spider, careful not to get bitten themselves.
They drove the Spider back as Yvlena worked to cure herself of the poison. One by one she added the ingredients, careful not to fall in as she swayed from weakness.
"This feels like the worst food poisoning ever," she said, holding back the virtual bile rising ihroat.

Basitidote x1]
"Finally!" She said popping the cork and downing the potion in one go. She grimaced at the taste and the sensation of sludge sliding dowhroat.
Now she was cured, the only problem, that was her st bottle.
[Yvlena is cured of her affli]
[Yvlena Cast Carrot Burst (50MP)]
The e wave swiftly sliced off the creature's front legs allowing Rabbit Knight to jab his rapier into one of the Spider's many eyes.
He leaped up and down, targeting the Spider's beak and eyes with Sprite casting stings by his side.
Yvlena ran forward, kig her feet into the air and jumping to nd on the Forest Spider's head.
"I don't even know what I'm doing!" She said, lifting her sword and bringing it down hard on the Spider's neck.
The beast shrieked, trying to buck the girl off its head. Yvlena shook but held on tight.
"Sprite cast bind!" She ordered.
[Sprite Cast Bind (03MP)]
Thorny vines grew to around the Forest Spider's remaining legs holding it in pce as Yvlena began stabbing the creature's head and eyes.
Rabbit Knight joined in, severing the joints that held the Spider's body to its legs.
[Rabbit Knight Cast Ssh(03MP)]
With a majestic swing of his bde the Forest Spider fell forward uo lift its torso from the damage it had sustained.
With a final blow from the Carrot Sword, Yvlena es existence.

"That wasn't as bad as I pictured," Yvlena admitted with a tired sigh.

[Sprite learned skill: Stun LV. 1]
"Wow good job Sprite, now you've growronger," Yvlena said, Sprite beamed with pride at the words of her summoner and even Rabbit Knight nodded in approval.
Yvlena thought about her summon skill and how it had risen previously but she hadn't iigated any of the boosts or even her new eling skill.
The new summon slot was empty too.
"All iime, it's not like I've used the summon bell either," she said. Yvlena stood from where she sat on the ground and looked around.
The haze darkening her vision had been another instance of the Miasmic fog.
"Well I know how to take care of that don't I?" She said taking one Ever Bloom out of her iory.
She pced the pnt on the forest floor, watg the white petals open to su the haze like dust into a vacuum.
Soon the fog was gone, leaving only a view of the forest path and more Ever Bloom seeds to pnt.
[Yvlena Acquired

Ever Bloom Seeds x10]
"So gd I know how to get more seeds. But I wonder, could the Ever Bloom be used as a potion ingredient?" She asked.
She kept the thought aside.
For now it wouldn't be wise to hang around the path, she would o head back to Bloom Haven a more bottles from Risel as well as a myriad of other things.
"Once I finish the sed task I know I'll have to prep for the third and then fight whatever's in the ke,"
"So much to do, but I'll head to Bloom Haven first, maybe weave the silk if I . Madame Pratt said my crafting was too low but no harm in trying," Yvlena said.
----------
"Yvlena you're back!" Risel said iement. Yvlena stumbled through the apothecary's doors in exhaustion. Fighting the Forest Spider had been no easy feat especially since she had been poisoned.
"Hi Risel," Yvlena said. "I'm going to he Purifying Recipe and a lot more bottles,"
"No problem!" The elf said cheerfully.
"Any news on the Verdant Woods?" Risel asked hopefully.
"I o purify the ke first I think," Yvlena said.
"Oh,"
"Something in particur you wao do in the woods, other than the current quest of course?" Yvlena asked her friend.
"When you find the path to the own could you let me e with you?" Risel asked.

"The rewards on this are crazy, but that just means it's going to be super dangerous and I have to protect Risel as well!" Yvlena said quietly.
"This has to be some sort of story quest or something, I remember the game saying my as affected the world,"
Yvleated, would she really be strong enough to protect Risel from the creatures deep within the Verdant Woods?
Would she even be able to protect herself?
She lifted her finger and hovered on her answer.
Yes or no.
