After rushing into the grand hall, the first thing that caught Leo Ray's eye was the increasingly thick dark red branches, almost to the point of obscuring the sky and the sun.
These branches, so robust that even several people together could hardly embrace them, crisscrossed the hall like webs, spread across every corner.
What had just burst through the wall was indeed only an insignificant fraction of it.
The most startling thing was that each branch continued to expand and grow, sprouting leaves at an alarming pace.
The sight that greeted the eyes was one of a frenzied growth, with constant writhing and expanding, making it impossible to see even the slightest bit deeper inside.
"Your Excellency, I can feel that we are already within reach of our target."
Elder Bing's solemn voice resonated as he addressed Leo Ray, "The 'source' and our adversary are deep within the hall!"
"Indeed, I can sense it too."
