The wind between the trees suddenly stalled.
The uproar after the plants activated also vanished.
When the Thorn Tree Man's mountain-sized body crashed forward, everything seemed to fall silent.
As if everyone was waiting for the sound of it hitting the ground.
And in this unbearable silence, Herbert, the culprit behind it all, watched that world-shaking scene of a golden mountain being toppled and jade pillars collapsing, and silently counted.
"Three, two… one."
When he finished counting, he smiled and said softly, "And down the mountain it goes~"
The next instant, that colossal form that had been swaying for so long finally made intimate contact with the Earth.
BOOM!!!
The Earth trembled.
Not just this little corner where the Beast Ear Clan lived— even the entire Forgotten Forest shuddered violently!
The forest was like it had been struck by a shell; a violent shockwave spread out from beneath the Tree Man's body, blasting all the nearby activated plants away!
