Watching the pile of various herbs grow in the middle of the clearing, I sat down beside it, not caring for anyone who would want to escape. I couldn't dictate other peoples lives, and if they decided it was better for them to brave through the dangers of the forest instead of following someone who obviously had a use for them, it was better to just let them die among the trees.
But that didn't mean I would allow the random beast to just thin the numbers of my underlings who were actually following my order!
By the time the pile turned big enough to fill your usual sack, I sensed the first disturbance to the delicate flow of the mana in the area. With the humans following the way of the beast with just reinforcing their bodies with the world's energy, the only way to actually break the fragile balance of the mana was by moving an object filled with the energy at a high speed.
