Faint green lines appeared along the scattered wooden debris' surfaces, connecting the fragments like glowing veins.
Roots that Kanis had severed during the battle twisted violently, while broken vines dragged themselves across the ground. Even the smallest splinters began releasing wisps of green energy.
The energy converged.
Kanis's eyes widened as he realized that the remains of the Demon Tree were not as lifeless as they appeared.
The Woodland Heart pulsed once.
A wave of Nature Essence erupted from it and spread through the debris.
WHOOSH!
The surrounding fragments rose into the air.
Before Kanis or Rumaal could launch another attack, the broken roots and vines began intertwining at an astonishing speed. They formed an enormous circular barrier around the mountain peak, with layers of twisted wood rising from the ground and joining overhead.
The green light spread rapidly through the structure.
Within moments, a familiar sight emerged from the debris.
