Kai pushed himself as hard as he could as he madly dashed towards the Mother Tree. There was no telling how long Aldred would be able to continue fighting, especially now that there was two full moon abominations instead of one.

As if one wasn't bad enough already.

Kai did not have long left in his fusion with Umbra. Honestly, it felt as if they started fighting hours ago, yet only five minutes had passed since the start of this chaotic war. It was crazy. Normally, wars would take months, even years to finish, but when there was all different types of magical beasts and powers involved...

Kai felt a shiver run up his spine as he dodged an attack from a quarter moon abomination that tried to cut into his side with its tail.

If this was the scope of a battle in a tutorial, then what would wars look like when it was full empires like the Malus Empire or the Nation of Lust that Kai heard so much about?

Even Eye of the Moon, how strong would someone like him be? Kai had no idea how strong the ability to doom a whole world by cursing the moon was in comparison to other gods abilities, but still, Eye of the Moon was strong enough to wipe out a planet without too much trouble.

Well, he would have been able to, if not for one extremely charismatic man that wished to get revenge.

Kai dodged, pirouetted and ducked as gracefully as he could in his Lycan form, which was not actually that gracefully, but it worked.

He had to reach the Mother Tree, he had to know. His mind was burning with curiosity at just how vast the scope of everything happening was.

Kai knew that he would never truly understand, he was just some puny human who happened to have a decent innate ability that allowed for monstrous growth and a bloodline and class that somehow allowed him to meet a god who was now his master.

But he still wanted to know.

Sadly, the path to the Mother Tree was not an easy on.

Scattered in the way was countless beasts, abominations and humans, all fighting with all they could give to preserve their lives for another moment.

Ruin laid in their wake as the entire area surrounding them was impacted by all the brutal clashes that were still ongoing.

Scorched grass, craters in the ground, swirling shadows swallowing things whole, arrows embedded in tree bark from missed shots, blades laying discarded beside fallen corpses.

It was a horrific yet beautiful image, one that perfectly encaptured the essence of war.

Yet Kai paid it no heed as he continued trying to reach the Mother Tree.

Out of nowhere though, Kai was swept off his feet by... nothing.

He skidded along the ground a few feet before coming to a halt. Growling, Kai looked around and failed to see what attacked him.

Kai was then struck in the side by something sharp, but when he looked down to where he got stabbed, there was nothing there except a wound.

It reminded Kai of the tunnel, where that invisible-

Kai sighed and activated Soul Sense. With the fact it was upgraded since the last time he fought one of these bastards, Kai was able to spot the evolved abominations corrupted soul much easier.

A dense black orb with thin red lines surrounding it like veins, just like the last time Kai saw it, the abominations soul was the exact same.

Still as revolting, and still as chilling to gaze at.
