425 The Emergence of the Spirit Tree, The Reemergence of an Extinct Race (2/2)

On the other hand, a strange event happened that Edward, Analynn, Karlene, and Terrence witnessed. They could not help but run towards the center of the base. It was because Emi, who should be just sitting on her chair blankly, suddenly ran away towards that direction.

Then, another strange thing happened. All the [Blood Children] in the base suddenly left their current places and made their way to the very same place. This made Nicole and Hallie who had Ruby and Merlot with them run after the two.

Even Layan experienced the same as Salacia suddenly ran away.

Ignis that was left inside the house felt the same thing and could not help but fly out.

Milliel inside her hut was rather scared and was hiding while rather confused as she felt the powers that belonged to her father.

Not only the ones inside the base were affected. Even those outside were the same.

Mutated Birds could be seen flying away as if a natural disaster was to occur. Even the Mutated Animals and Insects were the same.

Furthermore, several individuals hidden in the mountains and forests could not help but notice the phenomenon.

Outside the base, a man with white hair suddenly came out of a tree.

”What in the world is that guy doing now?”

Pefile could not help but mutter.

The scale of what was happening right now was not something to be trifled. Although there seemed to be no ill intent on it, just the sheer amount of magical energy gathered right now was terrifying.

While all of those things were happening, Mark was oblivious to it.

The others did not know, however, he already lost control.

BADUMP! BADUMP!

This was not in his plan at all.

BADUMP! BADUMP!

The energies inside his body had actually gone rampant.

BADUMP! BADUMP!

There was that annoyingly loud heartbeat too.

Mark was still conscious, however, everything was already out of his control. Even his body was not moving the way he wanted to.

He could only stare in front of him.

Then, he saw a swirl of energies being sucked down into the soil in front of him.

Mark knew that the seed was surely absorbing the energy around it now.

RUMBLE!!!

Then, an earthquake occurred.

It was not that strong, just enough to make everyone lose their balance for a bit.

At the same time, the sky started to change in color. The grey clouds became frighteningly red. As if blood was about to rain instead of water.

Then, like a beanstalk from a certain fairy tale, a plant sprouted out of the soil. It steadily grew at a fast rate that it was unbelievable. At the same time, Mark could feel that the energy inside his body was being sucked dry.

Everyone in the base had already gathered at the central area of the base. Not only people, even Chaflar, Laelaps, and the other animals in the base were watching. Even Pefile managed to blend into the crowd and watch what was happening, up close.

Some were scared, some were confused. Nevertheless, whatever emotion they felt, they still felt amazed as they saw a plant that had just sprouted from the ground growing into a tree.

Then... everyone saw Mark... Fell onto one of his knees. He was obviously in extreme pain.

That scared Mei, however, the swirling energy around Mark prevented anyone from approaching.

But then...

Mark's wings sprouted from his back. Strange, however, there was not just one pair, but two. Furthermore, both pairs that looked identical started to change. Red glowing veins appeared like a streak of lightning in a dark rainy sky.

His hair grew long once more. At the same time, the markings in his body acted up too.

Slowly, Mark stood up once more. He turned his head around looking at everyone. They were all shocked.

Who blood-red horns had already grown on his forehead and two pointed canine fangs could be seen protruding from his mouth.

Finally, the earthquake stopped and the swirling energy vanished as the Spirit Tree took shape. An eight-meter tree that towered over the base with its blood-red leaves, and black colored trunk and branches. Red glowing veins could be seen in each leaf that looked identical to Mark's wings.

When Mark turned around, another strange thing happened.

It started with the [Blood Children]. Then, Chaflar, Iola, Miracle, Emi, and lastly, Alana.

They all bowed down and kneeled on foot as they faced Mark. This made everyone even more confused.

It was until they noticed a scary thing.

The [Blood Children] were releasing a faint reddish glow on their bodies, even Miracle was included. On the other hand, Chaflar had its eyes glowing red, and its scales exuding a reddish light.

For the Iola, Emi, and Alana, however, everyone felt even more afraid. Their eyes were glowing red while the veins on their bodies became rather visible as their veins exuded the same glow as Mark's.

Seeing this, Pefile had the greatest shock of his life. It was even a greater shock he received after hearing what happened to his wife.

The signs he saw on Mark's and the bodies of the others. It was somewhat inconceivable.

Under his breath, he could not help but mutter.

”The Night Everred Spirit Tree... And the Blood Demon Race that had gone extinct... They actually appeared once again...”

Still, when he said those words, he was not afraid. Instead, it was obvious that he was rather excited.
