Summoning [1]

A sweet and refreshing taste filled Damien's mouth as soon as he bit into the fruit, but he didn't have any time to focus on it.

Along with that taste, a torrent of mana mixed with another mysterious essence entered his body and flooded his Mana Circuit. He closed his eyes and instinctually entered a meditative position to begin digesting the energy.

When Damien sat down, the still Primordial Undying Realm seemed to gain movement again. Dozens of covetous eyes landed on his unprotected body.

But even before their thoughts finished formulating, the stray branches of the Primordial Undying Tree moved with one mind. They formed a barrier around Damien's body and pulled him down into the base of the tree.

It was as if he merged with the tree itself.

Now, if one looked carefully enough, one could see a faint shadow of Damien's body engraved in the tree's trunk.

Bang!
