Their march continued for a few days, reaching upper into the forest. The process was simple. Fight and kill the horrors. Burn the forest. Plant runes. Then advance.
The process was simple on paper but harder to carry out than ever.
The horrors born in the forest were strong and each area was a new problem. The forest could displace people, curse them, corrupt them, infect them, among many horrible things.
And the smoke mixed with the mist created a foul toxin in the air. Its effects differed from person to person.
Damon watched his system panel as he walked. He had missed a lot, but he had been feeding his shadow with all the countless corpses here and his stats were higher than ever, not that weak monsters gave him much.
Overall Damon had grown greatly.
