Yet, the Skull was extremely agile, Woosh, it dodged to the side, drawing the enemy deep in. Suddenly, it sprung back up, swallowing more than half of the Fire Seed from the cheetah.
Both cheetahs lost their battle strength, left at the mercy of the human-shaped Skull consuming their power.
A year later, the Skull had replaced the skeleton that supported it with a robust tiger skeleton, daring to venture deeper into the Gloomy Dense Forest.
Unsure about the vastness of this forest, shrouded in fog all year round, it was tough to dissolve entirely. The dense forest had strict domain divisions. The Skull faintly realized there seemed to be a "King" in the area it resided in, and further away, there appeared to be even more powerful "Kings".
The Skull continued its exploration; it yearned to leave the Ghost Forest and see the outside world.
