"If I had my main body, I could make some preparations to bring to the negotiation table. But, unfortunately, I am only in my soul form. There isn't much I can do in this state," Leon mused.
However, shortly after pondering for a moment, he used his will, and parts of the earth in the core area moved accordingly.
"Seems like I can still manipulate the earth. This should enough to guarantee—or rather, it is the only guarantee I have to get the stone golem interested in me enough to talk," Leon muttered.
He made his way around the World Tree shortly, passing through a few patches of barren ground among what thriving vegetation the place had left.

"Is the World Tree relying on the magma as a substitute for sunlight? This seems to be the only explanation…" Leon assumed.
