The world quickly reformed around the group violently, the blinding brilliant light of teleportation vanishing, leaving only the dim, suffocating environment of the Black Demon Forest.
The air here was damp and heavy, laden with acid and the scent of rotting trees, combined with demonic auras lingering all around them.Towering trees with bark as dark as coal twisted into jagged spirals, their branches clawing at the sky like skeletal fingers.
A faint mist coiled low across the uneven ground, curling around their boots, carrying with it the distant cries of unseen beasts.
The moment they arrived, a stillness settled over the group. Even the loudest among them, Zeus and Lucian, quieted as their eyes darted around, instincts already on edge as they made sure they were safe.
