Burned floating lands... Huge lands floating everywhere in the void...
These lands were connected by tree roots that almost became a spider web between them...
*RWORRR***HshaHshaHsha****
But between these lands, four flame dragons and many flame ghosts kept moving and destroying these roots that kept the connection between them together...
Yet the resistance of the lands around was strong...
With many roots being destroyed, many others came out again supporting the others...
Such a cycle kept repeating itself...
But that wasn't all...
The lands themselves were being destroyed to pieces and many roots were separated forcefully from each other, and many lands that were connected to the ground were raised up with the ground they connect in together...
Such scene... It was almost as if the world was about to meet its end...
Looking closely in the middle of all these lands... There was a rather special land that connected by roots with almost every land around...
This land unlike the others, the flame on top of it was already removed and there was more life all around it...
The tree roots and the green life around it were growing in a crazy way, but all of it was actually used to protect the land itself using these trees and roots...
And the roots that were connecting everything were getting stronger and bigger with every passing second...
*UMMMM*
Looking carefully around this land, a pale dark smoke started moving fast between the roots...
The smoke moved fast trying to get closer to this land...
It can be seen from the smoke direction it was flying toward the brightest red spot in the land...
But in the smoke way, many roots tried to block and attack it...
Yet the smoke was almost like nothing completely ignoring the roots and kept moving between them fast...
And from time to time, a deep blue light kept releasing in its way destroying any obstacle in front of it to ashes...
*TISSHH*
Till finally the smoke floated in front of the red area and made a slapping sound...
With this sound, the white source of the darkness was revealed and Gray appeared floating in the top of the darkness looking in front of him...
"There it is... This light should be the source of all this freak forest... I wonder what it is..." Niala behind Gray looked at the red light and said... Her eyes were more interested in the forest than Gray...
'It won't be an origin... If so... This will be trouble... But fun...' Niala tried to guess what was in front of them and thought... Apparently linked the red light with something called the origin...
Thinking of this, the sinful smile on Niala's face became richer...
"Freak forest..." Gray looked at the red land in front of him and repeated what Niala said funnily...
With his words, he moved his hand pointing his finger in front of him...
At the same time, countless roots already shot at him from the huge land in front of him, as if an enormous monster with many arms attacked him...
But from Gray's finger, an unknown shock shoot toward the entire land...
With this, all the roots froze in their place...
"Stopped? Niala popped her head from behind and looked at the scene with curiosity...
"Yes... but no..." Gray looked in from of him and said... before he moves any closer, the roots around skipped a red light beat and broke free from his spell directly then started attacking him again...
He expected this and the sword was already in his hands...
As soon as the sword appeared, Gray waved his hands sending frightful sword slashes cutting the tree roots that were about to reach him... Even the land was damaged with many huge marks from his attacks...
But the land didn't break into pieces and kept connecting itself with roots...
"What is inside exactly?" Gray looked at the reaction of the land in front of him and couldn't help but become more curious...
He didn't expect that even after turning the world upside down like this, the forest will resist crazily like this...
From the beginning, Gray and Perona used the most harmful and effective way to destroy the forest...
First, they wanted to burn the forest to ashes... Which should be the easiest way to deal with any forest...
But after finding the weird regenerative nature of the forest and the connection of all the trees in it... They changed their way...
Perona raised the earth from its place, forcefully disconnecting the forest into many areas while finding the source of the forest energy...
But the more they act against the forest, the more serious the reaction of this forest will be...
Which made Gray want to see the real face of this forest even more...
Gray used the most direct and effective means from the very beginning till the end... It can be said that against this forest... No one could deal with it in the way Gray and Perona have done...
Gray and Perona's means can be said to be a perfect counter for this monster like a forest...
Because of the raging flame dragons, and ghosts that were moving everywhere around the void, the roots themselves didn't have the time to attack and defend at the same time...
So both of them moved around the source much easier than how it should be... Yet the source defense was really stronger than he expected...
*BOOM*
At this time, Perona started using the lands to destroy the others, which made two huge lands around them fell down as completely burned dead lands...
Doing this, Perona also kept up with Gray's pace and came to this side...
Gray saw this and moved his hand again...
"Well... Cut my way then..." Gray saw that it won't be so easy to get closer and didn't repeat his actions again but changed his style to another attack type...
Around Gray silver iron different shaped objects appeared all around him...
Some like wheels some like needles, any of them looked quite sharp and dangerous...
But then all these objects started getting bigger and bigger, till many destruction tools appeared around Gray...
*WISSHHHHH***
All these tools started turning fast making a wind noise around themselves...
"Go...." With Gray's word, the iron under his control became alive and all of them flew toward the roots and lands that kept blocking his way...
The place turned into a death zoom around him, Lands were being destroyed, roots were being cut to pieces...
Some left, some right, the iron weapons kept cutting the roots with no resistance all the way...
While Perona took the chance and moved the destroyed part away moving with Gray forward...
*WOOSH*
Gray moved his hands again and made a tremendous iron wheel in front of him and made it attack the land red heart directly...
With his action, Perona was also able to forcefully separate the land away so the roots won't recover again...
Within a few minutes, Gray and Perona's hand to hand act finally chopped the mainland forcefully from all the other land, and what happened next confirmed Gray's idea...
All the roots and the trees, on the other lands, couldn't survive and regenerate with the help of the source anymore and their flames turned all the other parts of the forest into ashes with no time...
Finally, the mainland itself was separated into two halves and the real face of the red light appeared...
"Heart?" Gray watched the red ball like a heart that was bumping a red light into everything around and said...
*DUBUM**DUBUM*
The big red core in front of them was beating fast releasing clear red energy into the roots around...
And a weird aura was revealed around the world with the red heart being revealed... A very think and weird aura that has a great attraction to everything.. As if the world itself was attracted by this aura...
Gray felt this aura and felt familiar... This aura feeling was so much like the red crystal aura he has inside his castle...
"So this is the reason for all of this?" Perona watched the red heart and said with surprise...
Such a weird thing looks like a red orb actually making such a crazy forest...
From what they can see, all forest trees were more like clones controlled by this orb, and the weird energy was infinity energy giving life to this forest...
Niala also looked at it with thoughtful eyes... Not knowing what she was thinking about...
*BungBungBungBungBung*
As if the red heart realized the threat this time, the beats around it became faster and the energy it released became heavier while the land roots started hard resistance against the iron weapons...
While many roots started covering the heart area again...
Gray knew very well that it wasn't the time to look at the beauty of this heart and merged many pieces of iron around him making a huge spear-like object...
As soon as he made it, Gray let it spin fast and...
*WISH*
The spear darted directly toward the heart that was being covered with roots...
Many roots tried to stop it, but the spear spinning power was so huge and crushed everything in its way...
*BungBungBung* with every meter the spear approached, the orb beat faster and stronger...
Till finally before the spear could reach it, the orb made an unexpected reaction...
The orb actually abandoned the land the roots around it and... Shoot itself down...
Yes... down toward the ground again...
*BOOM* Gray's spear reached as lightning and hit the upper part of the orb making a huge scar on it...
Yet the orb managed to survive and many roots were released from it and connected itself toward the ground...
"Want to run?" Gray saw this and directly realized what was happening! Yet more surprised by this... This weird thing actually knows how to escape...
But then Gray widened as if he saw something incredible... And looked up!
*SHHHHH* not only him, even Nagini felt something that made her alerted and warned Gray with her sound...
"Not going anywhere!" Perona saw the orb trying to run and directly controlled her ghost and lands to attack the orb, but Gray's reaction was different...
"Perona let's go..." Without even waiting for Perona to act, Gray caught her hand and...
*SHRIIP*
With a tearing sown Gray actually disappeared from place...
Just like this...
...
...
As Gray left, the Orb successfully reached the ground in seconds and directly buried itself down ready to run away...
*SHEEENNN* But suddenly in the sky, golden clouds gathered suddenly, and a yellow light full of holiness shot down toward the ground directly through the floating lands...
The light was so warm and pure as if the heaven gates were opened at this land shining the world with its light at this moment...
But despite the warmness in this light... the destructive nature of this light was quite obvious...
With the light appearance, the blue flames all over the void were like meeting a natural enemy started losing their power and disappeared as if a normal fire was washed by water, and all the lands around started felling down one by one...
With the lands felling down, the ground where the light shot, the red orb appeared again, but this time completely without any resistance, flew to the sky again...
