Kanis flew toward Emerald Cove Island, his black-and-blue robes fluttering in the sea breeze.
His subordinates had already begun spreading out across the surrounding waters, establishing a perimeter to prevent anyone from escaping. Meanwhile, Rumaal and his two wives followed behind him, maintaining a respectful distance.
Kanis' gaze roamed over on the island briefly before eventually settling it on a particular mountain peak.
A gigantic tree stood atop it, towering above the surrounding vegetation like an ancient guardian watching over the island. Its enormous trunk was thick enough to rival a mountain, while countless roots and vines extended from its base, spreading in every direction. Some disappeared beneath the earth, while others wound around distant hills and stretched across the landscape like enormous serpents.
The sight was extraordinary.
