"Hm, my grandfather thinks you're well enough to go through with the 'purge'? What's that about?" Lilly asked with a confused but serene voice. "Oh, it's nothing." Kace coughed to cover up his embarrassment. Due to his being entranced by Lilly, he had completely forgotten about his original objective that landed him in this mess in the first place. Seeing that Elderbeard had not informed her himself, Kace believed it was appropriate to keep his mouth shut about the matter. "Really?" Lilly narrowed her…-

Over the next few days, Kace began to look forward to his talks with Lilly as he regained his strength. However, he was indeed shocked to learn that Lilly was Elderbeard's granddaughter. When he questioned how that was possible, he received an answer that he had never expected. The Treant race created their offspring through pollination. Whether male or female they were each capable of producing fruits or flowers. The flowers would release the Treant's pollen into the air, which would be absorbed by any…

A few days later, Kace finally woke up feeling refreshed. It seemed like he had been transferred to a new room. Where before there was a blurry stone ceiling above him, there was now the bark of a tree. He turned his head to the sides to discover that it was not actually a room, so to speak. A circular opening gave him the impression of being inside a hollowed-out area of a tree. The bed was made of ornate wood, while a pile of straggly soft leaves served as his mattress. A thin but warm layer of red…

Kace felt incredibly weak when he came around. His vision was blurry, so he was unable to make anything out. He could faintly feel his body being jostled around, but there was nothing that he could do about it right now. His mouth felt as dry as a desert as if every bit of moisture had been sucked straight out of it. "What's happening?" He croaked. "We're almost. Back to. Stonefall. Just rest for. Now." Grugda's rough voice tried to soothe him. As a dark shadowy figure moved across Kace's line of…

Shadow leapt out from the sub-dimension along with the rest of the Tu'Thrag tribe. They stared at Kace in reverence as his beast form melted away to reveal the terrible state that he was in. His skin had become leathery and wrinkled, making him look like a mummified corpse. Shadow whistled at the sight as he took in the damage. "You really went overboard, huh?" Shadow groaned when he realised that they would have to move him before the Hydra's final breath reached his unconscious body. It was clear that…

Kace roared once again as he confidently charged forward to meet the oncoming, disorientated enemy. The Hydra lunged with an impromptu attack with its fangs. Its sudden attack seemed to be entirely on instinct. However, it appeared overly slow to Kace's eyes, not only that, but it was off target. Probably because it was still recovering from being tossed around. Its wide-open mouth with its long sharp fangs passed by Kace harmlessly. Taking advantage of the height difference, he ran directly between the…

Even though he was acting arrogant in front of the wounded Hydra, Kace felt that something was off with his body as he stared at the head in his hands. After that last attack, it felt as if he had lost a substantial amount of the energy he felt coursing through his being. However, currently, he felt like he was in a transcendental state as everything that made him who he was worked overtime. He soon found a reason for the inexplicable feeling. 'I'm on a time limit. Compared to when I became the wolf…

The pounding against the walls suddenly stopped when he unleashed his aura. Kace took his time walking forward as he adjusted to the new power that he was capable of producing with each movement. He felt clumsy at first as the elongated legs brought him to a height of six-foot nine inches. What felt like several minutes to Kace as he crossed the space between himself and Grugda was, in reality, only a few seconds. Grugda turned immediately as he felt the oppressive aura emerge. Forgetting about supplying…

After witnessing the poisonous cloud quickly filling up the distance between them, Kace and Grugda knew it was time to run. They did not dare to look back because there was no need to. They could feel the ground trembling as the Hydra charged after them. If they slowed down even a little, there was a solid chance that the cloud or the Hydra would catch them. As they sprinted down the now clear path, they could feel the intensity of the tremors growing. The broke out in a cold sweat as they understood that…

As he was distracted by the two heads that were already flanking him, Kace barely had the time to register that the central head made a move gobble him up. As the large-scaled raced over the head of the one on his right, Kace prepared himself to take a blow. He quickly activated Kinetic Vision to make the most out of his reactions, even if they were subpar these days for the opponents he found himself against. Although it failed to give him the time needed to prepare a counter-attack, he was able to turn…
