Only the bumpy and hollow tree burls on the tree trunks were still undulating endlessly, much like the flesh and blood of a human being.
The whole tree was permeated with the stench of decay.
Moreover, the blood-red Other Shore Flowers that originally grew on the ground had now spread to the trunk, as if sharing the same fate as the great tree.
"Just hold on a little longer, Nanase."
Inutake Sosuke muttered to himself.
He lifted his head, looking towards the higher canopy of the Fusang tree.
There, a notably conspicuous blood-red fruit was swelling incessantly.
If he could just get that, he could make another batch of Reincarnation Incense and bring his wife back to life.
Everything would get better.
Inutake Sosuke took a few more difficult steps upward, when suddenly he heard a rustling sound from the wife in his arms.
He looked down, only to see Nanase's pale and bloodless cheeks.
Nanase had undoubtedly died.
