Adam didn't want to get involved in the problems of the dark forest. He had many other tasks to distract him from monsters, flowers, and barriers.
However, he had no choice but to get involved. If he wanted to reach the Glass Bridge, he had to destroy the barrier.
But the Red Bloom knew everything that was happening in the dark forest. This place had become her hunting ground.
Any monster that tried to get close to the flower was killed and eaten by its roots. She controlled everything and watched over what was happening.
She knew that Phantom had entered her territory. She waited for Adam to reach the center, where she was waiting for him and was ready to fight to kill and devour him.
