The moment the nine pillars took shape, Sylas felt like something was pressing down on him. He was still high in the skies, surrounded by a shattered rain of splintered vines, wood, and wooden roses, but all of a sudden he felt as though <Chilling Rise> lost all of its effects. At the same time, the Ice-Poison Aether that was quickly spreading from Mancer's Blossom suddenly slowed considerably.
It was a great risk to take Mancer's Blossom out in the first place. Sylas had no idea how good the defenses of the Aether Treasure were, and if the Violet Rose Heart was smart, it would almost certainly go all out to target it first.
But the Violet Rose Heart was an unintelligent existence that acted on nothing more than instinct. This much Sylas had already confirmed, which was why he dared to take such a risk. Diverting its attention away from the crystalline tree while he bombarded it from other directions was more than easy enough.
