Struggle [3]

Saying that there were thousands or even tens of thousands of intertwining branches within the crown of the Primordial Undying Tree wasn't an exaggeration at all.

From the outside, it did indeed look like the canopy of a tree, with the only special thing about it being it's size and color, but when inside, one would no longer even believe they were on a tree anymore.

Tens of thousands of branches that tangled and snaked in unnatural directions, they formed a natural labyrinth that was hidden by the leaves and flowers that decorated the outside of the crown.

Swoosh!

As Damien rushed through this labyrinth, he was once again forced to realize the grandiosity of such a tree.

He would run in a straight line across a single branch, but would somehow find himself on a separate branch many meters away without even realizing how he got there. 

And it wasn't even an illusion, it was just a miracle of sheer complexity.
