A forest path turned into mud.
Rotten wood and black sap covered the ground.
Gais lifted his sword.
Dryard looked around and spoke softly.
Be careful. This forest isn’t alive. The dead forest keeps moving."
At that moment.
As the earth cracked open, the giant corrupt sap monarch revealed itself.
Soon after, a body-shedding corpse, a decayed herd of deer, a black-lichen giant, and a cluster of predatory vines began to creep out from across the forest.
Dryard reached out his hand.
Thick roots rose up and clung to the vines.
"Guys! It’s now!"
Gais jumped forward.
A flash explodes at the fingertips.
Thunder brake.
The blue lightning pierced through several monsters at the same time.
Then, as he spun the sword, dozens of rotating blades spread out in all directions.
The bodies of the rotten pill bugs and the acidic abdominal centipedes are being severed.
However, the colony of dark-eaten larvae swarmed again, covering the ground.
Gais raised his hand.
The sky darkened, and with a heavy downpour, lightning struck one after another.
The monsters struck by the lightning collapsed into the mud.
He continued casting magic again toward the remaining monsters.
Blood sphere.
Dozens of red spears sliced through the air, piercing the corrupt spirit distortion and the vampire hornet lord.
A crystal window then formed and shattered the rock-solid outer shell to pieces.
Soon after, the black ring spun.
Dark boomerang.
A sharp shadow blade swings back and forth, consecutively slicing through the bodies of monsters.
Finally, Gais swung his sword widely.
Dozens of blades of darkness sprang up from the air and rained down in all directions.
As patches of voracious vines and crustal fissure worms were cut away one after another, the forest fell silent once more.
Dryard said, catching his breath.
“…It doesn’t seem over."
Another vibration was heard from afar.
As the black mist deep in the forest parted, a greater being slowly began to reveal itself.
