The battle across the Worlds of the Root soon reached a critical point.
Both the Monster of the Root and the Warlock of the Root had suffered severe wounds during the brutal clashes. Yet thanks to the endless infusion of vitality flowing from the Worlds of the Root themselves, neither of them was close to dying. The corrupted world continuously nourished them, feeding their bodies with dark life force that restored torn flesh and stabilized wounded souls.
On the other hand, the forces of the Nine Empyrean Suns Alliance were nearing their limits.
They had endured the corrupted radiation of the Worlds of the Root for far too long. The toxic energy seeped into every layer of existence—body, soul, and energy. Even the specially engineered bloodlines and protective runes crafted by the Alliance were beginning to fail under the relentless corruption.
Warriors staggered as their auras weakened.
Their breathing grew heavy.
