These giant flesh fruits were the foundation of Aksai's newest line of fiends.
A soul could be inserted into them. The fruit would then nurture the soul like a womb. Once fully matured, a Woodland Fiend would be born.
The process was rather expensive because it consumed a large amount of resources. However, the results were excellent.
The Woodland Fiends were superior to the Sentient Fiends in every aspect except for the cost of creating them.
The Sentient Fiend lineup could still be used for routine Spirit farming tasks. However, Woodland Fiends were far more effective when it came to strengthening Aksai's hidden force.
Aksai's gaze eventually settled on a particular fruit hanging from a thick branch. This fruit was larger than the others nearby. Its surface pulsed gently, like a giant heartbeat.
Through his connection with the Demon Tree, Aksai already knew what had happened.
Or rather...
Who had been reborn.
"Finally. I have been waiting for you."
