The silence of the forest after the collapse of the second wave was no longer that artificial, empty silence from the beginning of his arrival.
This time, a real silence had settled. Daniel glanced around a few times to make sure there were no other monsters, and fortunately, there was no threat at the moment.
Of course, even if there were, it wouldn't make much difference. Just as he had killed the previous beasts of corruption within seconds, he could kill the next ones too.
And in fact, the arrival of those monsters could be better because this way, the fruit would grow faster.
He stood a few steps back from the tree, his sword still in his hand. The blade of The Heaven's Honor glowed faintly in the dim light of the environment.
A weak lightning bolt slid along its edge and then went out, as if the weapon itself was listening to something.
His gaze went up the silver trunk of the tree.
The fruit was no longer that small dot.
