Situation report.

Before Darius' fight with the fire salamander wyrmling, he had sensed the presence of another enemy lurking in the shadows. That was why he had been cautious at first and was on the defense in other to prevent a surprise attack.

It was after he had seen that the enemy had no plans of joining that he decided to end things quickly and face the enemy.

"You know you would have had a higher chance of beating me if you 2 team up." Colonel Darius said to the empty space.

"Very cocky." The trees below spoke in a howling tone as a redwood tree began growing until it reached the same height as Darius who was floating 200 meters above the ground.

At the top of the redwood tree was a large green flower bud that opened to reveal a tier 2 emperor rank elder treant.

Treants were rare intelligent plant-type beasts that resemble trees in appearance. They were the most powerful of the forest races, and one of the most mysterious.
