At the moment of falling, everyone heard a shriek that seemed to pierce their souls.
Afterwards, the shrieks came one after another, emanating incessantly from the surrounding tall trees, piercing their souls.
In response to this situation, Chadite transformed into a full moon, emitting a flood of moonlight.
The spiritual protection immediately blocked these shrieks, and the moonlight seemed like an attack of some soul-purging energy, causing the trees to shake wildly, allowing them to feel their pain through the intensity of the shaking.
Clearly, these trees were not entities with souls but rather some kind of creatures existing on a spiritual level.
Maintaining the moonlight like this, everyone swiftly crossed the forest.
The trees around continued to shake constantly as they moved along, appearing as if dead once illuminated by the moonlight.
