The majestic giant tree uprooted itself from the earth, its heavy, layered, twisting flesh writhed beneath the bark.
Atop the tree, the verdant leaves and branches merged into an immense crown, which then snaked and twisted, dancing in the sky like blood-fleshed limbs.
Following that, the branches quivered and transformed, aimed downward, and densely, like a storm, they thrust towards the ground.
The white-haired girl watched the whooshing branches coming at her and performed a backflip, her body rotating midair before landing steadily on the top of a small hillock behind her.
Boom boom boom—
The dancing branches penetrated where she had just been standing, exploding violently and kicking up dense smoke and dust.
The white-haired girl glanced at the rising dust on the ground and lifted her right hand slightly, revealing a small section of a pristine 'branch' inside her palm.
