Undying

In one of the many dungeons of Kera, a few hours before the invasion, a particular party was betting their lives against a giant tree monster. The veins were as hard as steel and as numerous as the stars. The party, consisting of five people, ran in opposite directions to confuse the monster.

"We need to strike its core!" shouted a figure that could barely be recognized because of its speed. "Make the branches attack in different directions to open a path. Fiery, strike it when you can."

"I will hold them back, darling," said an elegant woman who stepped in front of the man. "We need to finish it off in ten minutes, or your mom will scold us."

"Ah, right," nodded the man as he ran to the side. "Kody, help me out!"
