A figure could be seen moving towards the deeper region of the forest; he was moving at a breakneck speed, dashing from one shadow to another. He suddenly stopped and looked at the area in front of him. This area looked to be open. His shadow shook before standing up and turning into a cloak to surround him.
He started moving slowly toward the area in front of him. There was tall grass everywhere, and a strange mist surrounded the area. As he moved forward, he sensed something; he could sense complete silence in the area. The moonlight made Everything near him visible, but he could not see anyone. It was very silent. As he moved forward, he found small hills made up of rocks.
They looked like large rock boulders, with four wings stretched from his back. They flapped softly and lifted his body. He crossed the area and moved higher to survey the area around him. He sensed that the hills were spread around, creating a circular region. The region at the center was made up of an uneven, rocky region filled with small boulders.
He looked further and found a giant crater at the center. He took out the map, checked, and found that this was the region marked on it. His body transformed, and he turned into a bat. He moved and started surveying the area.
The closer he went to the giant crater-shaped valley, the more presence he sensed. They had massive numbers. He had seen more than ten thousand creatures. As he moved further, he found that there were more. Most were lizards, while there were also beasts. Each one had massive numbers.
This was only an estimate. His eyes widened in surprise as he appeared at the valley's border. The valley spanned two kilometers and was filled with creatures; there were thousands of them. He could guess there might be up to fifty thousand; this was a huge number.
They were divided into four groups: first, the Saurus Tribe Lizardman, with around eighteen thousand troops; second, the Skinks Tribe, with around fifteen thousand troops. The third group was filled with wyverns and dragon eagles, with around ten thousand troops; the last group was of winged serpents, with around eight thousand.
They occupied four different sides. His eyes then shifted to a large lake filled with red water at its center. At its center was a strange tree with its roots surrounding a giant Ruby-like crystal with multiple runes embedded in it. With his knowledge, he felt like it was creating a magic formation.
It was a 20-meter-tall tree with brown-colored branches filled with mysterious rhombus-shaped scales in a pattern of red and black. Its branches were scattered on two sides and curved into a strange shape. From the front, it looked like two hydras facing each other, and strange radiant blue leaves surrounded it that were shining brightly in the moonlight.
The place at the center of the tree, which was almost equally close to each branch, had a strange one-foot large white-colored orb shining like a second moon; eyes of every creature present here was focused on it. He guessed it might be the Dragon Fruit.
It shone brighter and brighter with time; the creatures surrounding were alert looking at each other. Their Claws, Jaws and Spear pointing at each other; no one dared to approach the tree. This stalemate continued for a while before the orb started releasing more light, shaking as if it would ripen any moment.
A strange fragrance was released from it; This fragrance made every beast's blood boil. Their eyes started shining brightly, and desire emerged in them; their mouth watered as their body approached the tree by themselves. This didn't happen to all; only weaker creatures lost their minds.
Others saw that and attacked them, eliminating them. They were enraged when they saw that many of their kin were killed, and a full-blown war started. The Saurus and Skinks tribe already had many feuds; they started attacking each other while there was a similar story between the Flying Serpens and Wyverns.
The battle became bloody. Unknown to them, the red crystal started shining, releasing a strange red-colored mist. It got mixed in the air and further increased the anger of the creatures. The battle became bloody. Hundreds of creatures died every moment, and some were keeping an eye on the fruit.
Rishi waited patiently for half an hour. He wanted his opponents to be weaker. The light orb exploded, releasing a blinding light. A fist-sized, mysterious fruit became visible and covered it in a golden hue. It was filled with beautiful black-colored patterns while being of a light blue color.
Most creatures lost their control and started running towards the tree. The battle became even more chaotic. Limbs fell here and there, and a small pool of blood formed on the ground around them. More than fifteen thousand creatures lost their lives, and the number kept increasing.
Then, a shadow of a bat appeared, which was ignored by everyone as it didn't exist. It appeared closer to the fruit. Rishi created a copy of the fruit and replaced the original with a duplicate one. He started to escape and succeeded in fooling everyone, but it was then that he heard a loud roar.
The tree shook, and an angry face appeared on it, releasing its branches and roots. They extended in all directions and peered through everyone near them. The others noticed Rishi and felt the presence of the fruit from him; they also started attacking him.
Rishi used his zone and dodged their attacks. His shadow creatures appeared and started attacking the opponents near him. An icy armor appeared around him, and he started fighting. The tree targeted the area he was in. It also eliminated anyone near him.
When he saw that, Rishi dodged its attack and moved to the crowded area. This continued for a moment, and Rishi kept fighting. Shadow Raptors, Commanders, and his Shadow Frost Raptor Rider surrounded him and helped him deal with multiple opponents.
The trees branched and moved, and a large amount of red mist was released. It corrupted the minds of all the creatures that started approaching Rishi without caring for their lives. It became hard for Rishi to face so many opponents. A large eye appeared behind him.
Eyeballs sprang again, and the pupil expanded again. It was a triangular pupil of dark color. A flood of killing intent reeked from it that made the opponents break out of the spell used on them. Showing no mercy, he used a long-range mental attack. Multiple opponents fell, their hearts stopping; they looked terrified as if they had seen something horrifying before their deaths.
