I awakened to be a menace at the start of the game, and my parents sent me to the cherry blossom vie

"Since you want me dead, then I'll die right here..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Fan completely gave up all resistance, even removing the black scales from his body.

His sudden action also surprised the giant tree.

The notes that were attacking him paused slightly, as if they possessed their own thoughts, unable to understand why he was doing this.

But soon, it launched another attack.

More than a dozen branches pierced his body at the same time.

puff--

In an instant, Lin Fan's body was riddled with holes, and blood gushed out.

Lin Fan's body trembled violently, and then... he slowly lowered his head.

"That really fucking hurts!"

The sudden turn of events caused Nabatay, not far away, to let out a mournful roar:

"My King—!"

As it roared, it instinctively tried to come and rescue Lin Fan.

"Don't come any closer."

Sensing the other party's intentions, Lin Fan gritted his teeth and spoke up to stop them.

"My King—"

Nabatai was stunned by what he heard, completely bewildered as to why Lin Fan wanted to stop him.

"Run! Run as far as you can!"

Lin Fan mustered his last strength and roared at Nabatai.

"..."

Seeing Lin Fan's miserable state, Nabatai stood there hesitating for a long time before finally roaring at the undead warriors around him:

"All soldiers retreat..."

As it speaks, it also moves away from the center area.

Although it didn't know why Lin Fan would give such an order, out of loyalty to Lin Fan, it still chose to obey and led its undead army to retreat...

Seeing the undead, including Nabatae, begin to retreat, the red-eyed shadows seemed equally bewildered, standing frozen in place, staring blankly as they went.

Only after a group of undead left the central area did they all turn their gaze to Lin Fan, who was near death.

His reddened eyes revealed a deep sense of bewilderment.

I don't understand at all why this person, who is about to die, would still order his subordinates to retreat.

Is it...

Does he really not want to live anymore?

The giant tree was right; Lin Fan really didn't want to live anymore.

"Hey, if you're going to do it, can't you at least do it properly? You're just leaving me hanging like this..."

At this moment, Lin Fan, who was hanging in the tree, looked down at his body.

Dozens of branches pierced through his chest, shoulders, thighs, and arms, leaving him covered in blood.

But he still did not die.

pain.

It hurts.

He wasn't afraid of death, he was afraid of pain.

And at this moment, the pain was also making him unusually clear-headed.

As if understanding his sarcasm, the branches surrounding him began to tighten rapidly, as if trying to strangle him to death.

Lin Fan could hear his bones creaking and cracking.

"Actually, I'm quite afraid of dying. I'm always afraid before I die."

His voice grew softer and softer.

"But after each death... I feel like it's not all that great."

wow-

As he continued his incessant chatter, his skin began to crack.

But he still did not die.

Upon seeing this, the giant tree launched a thick branch that pierced directly through his chest.

Lin Fan looked down at the tree branch piercing his chest, without uttering a sound of pain or screaming.

He simply looked up at the giant tree.

He wore a strange smile that didn't belong to someone who was about to die.

"That was a good strike; I felt like you hit my heart."

The moment his voice fell, the last glimmer of light in his eyes vanished.

The heart ruptured and stopped beating completely, the blood in the whole body stopped flowing, and breathing stopped...

He... died.

……

Perhaps they realized that Lin Fan had stopped making a sound.

The strips of paper wrapped around him slowly loosened.

The next moment, Lin Fan's body fell from mid-air and crashed into the roots of the giant tree, kicking up a cloud of black dust.

boom--

The dull thud seemed to announce the end of the war as the giant tree slowly retracted the scattered paper strips and roots...

Seeing this, the red-eyed black figures slowly moved closer to the giant tree.

Everything was proceeding smoothly and in an orderly manner, and everything seemed so normal.

Lin Fan's body lay alone at the base of the giant tree, motionless.

one second.

two seconds.

ten seconds.

After quite some time, nothing unusual happened.

But if someone could sense the changes in this space at this very moment, they would discover...

The air in the entire core area has begun to change imperceptibly.

It's not the kind of surface temperature change.

Rather, something deeper and more fundamental is changing.

A faint grayish-white light began to appear on the surface of Lin Fan's corpse.

The light was extremely faint, almost invisible.

But it is spreading.

It spreads outward in a slow, unstoppable manner.

However, neither the surrounding black mist nor the ground changed after being exposed to the white light.

It was as if... the white light had no effect whatsoever.

But they are unaware that they have been drawn into another set of rules.

Another type of disaster, one that is incomprehensible to ordinary people.

As time passed, the giant tree and the surrounding red-eyed shadows finally noticed the eerie white light.

Especially those red-eyed shadows, under the influence of this white light that resembled radiating waves, actually revealed a certain expression in their blood-red eyes...

fear.

They don't even know what they are afraid of.

But the fear just wouldn't stop.

As the white light spreads, it moves faster and faster, covering an increasingly larger area.

From just a few meters at the beginning, to ten meters, twenty meters, fifty meters...

The entire core area was enveloped within this white ring...

The dark figure standing within this strange circle began to stir restlessly.

Even the giant tree seemed to sense something; its branches swayed, and its roots, which had just closed up, burst forth from the ground once more.

And as these tree roots moved, it actually moved along with them.

This illogical behavior made it seem as if it wanted to leave as soon as possible.

But alas, it was just a tree, and a giant tree at that. Even though its root system could drag it along, the speed of movement was...

It's not so much slow as to be described as tortoise-paced.

Its movement speed was completely unable to keep up with the speed at which the white halo was spreading.

And so, they could only watch helplessly as the white halo grew larger and larger.

Seeing this, the giant tree could no longer bear it and let out a strange shriek.

The sound was sharp and piercing, and the entire dark forest trembled at the shriek.

It is struggling.

It wants to move.

Countless roots were pulled from the soil, carrying large amounts of soil and gravel.

But no matter how much it struggled,

It can never escape the range of the aperture, and can only let the aperture expand infinitely and go further away.

Seeing this, the red-eyed black figures, though confused, still frantically fled outwards.

At the same time, they also sensed that the surrounding air was gradually becoming hot and dry...

……

"What...what is that?"
