It took Vlad several minutes to process what he had just experienced. His eyes turned to the surroundings around him. The green land before him was scorched and dead, cracks spread across the dirt with smoke rising from several places. The air smelled of ash and ozone. The thick bark of the tree behind him carried several burn marks, its branches completely stripped of their leaves.
"I-I think I should leave this place first," Vlad gasped, rising to his feet. His legs felt unsteady, but he forced them to move. He threw the mystery box inside his gym bag and ran out of the forest. He took a detour to make sure no one would be suspicious of him when the atrocities done to the forest were revealed.
He was not the type of person to avoid responsibility, but it would become a headache to explain how he actually caused such harm with a D-Rank talent.
Worst come to worst, it might get revealed that he had formed a primordial core.
