622 [Bonus chapter] Chapter 583: The Unusual Realm

Alex finally took a step into the unknown forest after leaving the mountain top; he had expected to encounter monsters the moment he went in judging from the wyvern behavior; however, he encountered nothing, not even the slightest animal's cry, not until a blinding light assaulted his vision forcing him to close his eyes and when he reopened them again Alex found himself in entirely different scenery, a different forest.

The forest was vast, compact, and primal. Its canopy was overshadowed by alder, cedar, and oak; enough light shimmered through their crowns for scattered shrubs to reign the thick layer of leaves below.

Curling branches held onto the occasional tree, and a medley of flowers, which desperately tried to avoid the shadows, stood out against the otherwise amber forest grounds.

A cacophony of beastly sounds, predominantly those of ferocious monsters, brightened up the forest and added to the sounds of the wind blowing gently through the forest.
