With a deafening roar, the Domain shattered completely, and endless fire swept toward the two of them.

Sizzle, sizzle…
The vines were scorched and eaten away by the flames.
The Eternal Wood Emperor's presence grew weaker and weaker, and finally, it disappeared altogether—his consciousness once again took over the Dark Golden Golem.
