Chapter 215: The True World Tree

………..

Yasuo didn’t stop once he reached it or paid much attention to it, instead, he continued to fly higher and higher, seeking to reach the top.

He noticed numerous skeletons scattered all around the bast of the world tree, seemingly sucked dry.

There was an obvious sense of death surrounding the area, warning any new preys from coming close, lest they become victim to the all-devouring tree.

That deadly vile atmosphere was a sign akin to the radiance of the full moon in the middle of a dark night, stopping all creatures from approaching.

In fact, the level of ominousness surrounding it managed to create a vast area around it with little to no creatures to be seen.

However, there is an exception, the dragons flying all around, encircling them is some kind of fog with varying colors depending on the dragons’ colors.

The fog was working as protection, stoping the obvious deadly force from having any effect on them.

The sinister force being the devouring power of the world tree, affecting everything around it albeit slightly.

As Yasuo knows, It’s able to devour things almost instantly, provided it’s in direct contact with it.

It also can devour things without direct contact but it’s an extremely slow process that the dragons gained immunity to.

They took the surroundings of the world tree as their home, specifically, above the dark clouds, those clouds are their nests but they go down sometimes looking for food or just flying around.

It wasn’t long before Yasuo went through the curtain of dark clouds hundreds of thousands of miles above the ground.

The scene that lies above the darkness was fascinating, nothing like darkness.

It was a magnificent view of a vast expanse of dark clouds as far as the eye can see but with a difference, the brilliant and scorching sun rays with little to no barrier had an effect of bringing a majestic brilliance to the expanse.

Yasuo could see dragons everywhere as far as the eyes can see. This wasn’t the first time he went above the dark clouds but the view he saw before and this one has little in common.

At that time, he only found one black dragon but now he can see numerous dragons, one different than the other, but the black dragons seem to be some kind of royalty amidst their numerous kind.

Yasuo then laid his glittering silver eyes on the tree that didn’t stop after going through the clouds but went for a few more miles.

Its top seemed especially fascinating with numerous dragons flying continuously around it, seemingly enthralled in the magnificence of the World Tree.

The scene was truly captivating because the treetop worked as some kind of magnet attracting the various kinds of sun rays around it.

The combination of all of that created a magnificent combination of massive Auroras surrounding it with numerous prismatic objects flying through it.

Those are the captivated dragons strolling amidst the miraculous place, from small dragons to mature ones.

Yet, none of them seem to notice the clear intruder floating right under their eyes, seemingly invisible.

Yasuo was certainly enthralled with the place but just like the dragons, he remained cautious and didn’t come in contact with the tree.

The dragons seemed to know the result of approaching it too closely so no matter what, they keep distance.

Yasuo flew to the top of the tree while of course keeping distance, yet strangely, there weren’t any signs of dragons remnants on top of it like the numerous skeletons at the bottom.

The area was extremely clean which is strange. It stands to reason that the dragon needs to have an example to learn from as to not approach it.

And Yasuo knows their senses can’t pick anything strange about it because he himself can’t sense even a hint of danger from the tree.

It seems to be able to devour anything and everything, not allowing its prey to notice anything.

Except for Medusa who is clearly cautious of the tree with the numerous snake on its head carefully keeping an eye on it.

Yasuo also noticed something even more interesting and the reason why its devouring power is so massive at its top.

Perhaps the reason for its devouring power. At the center of the treetop, there is a vast wooden space, kind of flat but naturally shaped.

There are little to no leaves or branches on its top but nothing dared to take such a naturally shaped place as a home, a safe and comfortable home.

Well, the point is that it’s not safe. Yasuo made sure to test that as he controlled one of the dragons and directly teleported it on top of the tree.

It made contact with the tree instantly, and its destiny was henceforth determined.

The dragon was dead almost instantly, and the way It was devoured left nothing from it, no remnants.

It was as if it turned into aches that were directly absorbed by the tree, leaving nothing.

And the Auroras surrounding the tree started to change directly after as the attraction force of the tree got stronger and stronger.

The magnificent scene of the Auroras only became more captivating henceforth. It was as if the world tree was celebrating the delicious meal.

But only a few minutes passed before the Auroras returned to their original shape, and the scene reshaped itself to its previous look.

Well, except for the countless dragons that have noticed the previous strange scene, especially the view of one of their kind getting devoured so that naturally caused a commotion. Ch𝒆êck out l𝒂t𝒆st 𝒏𝒐v𝒆l𝒔 on nov𝒆l/bin(.)c𝒐m

It was however hopeless because they couldn’t find any reason as to why the bizarre scene had taken place, they can’t see the one responsible after all.

“It’s certainly interesting, I’m pretty sure I have already found a significant portion of Epithymías’ limbs all around the world so all I need is time, and this is a good place, so wait so…”

As Yasuo thought of this, he teleported directly to the top of the tree, to a place close to the center of the treetop where the core of the tree has taken place.

Yasuo slowly lifted his hand as a test tube appeared in it with a purple liquid within that soon disappeared… Yes, he found another part of Epithymías but this one seems special.
