"You say what now?" Helena leaned her head forward with a questioning expression.
Northern shrugged, "Like I said, the real body will be emerging from the woods soon."
After a couple more blinks, Northern's double eyeballs (polycoria) merged into one and became normal.
They all stared at him in stunned silence.
There was much to be surprised about, so it was hard to decide which aspect to tackle first.
The silence ensued for a few more seconds, then Helena's vigorous voice shattered it.
"I'm sorry, what exactly did you do to the monster?"
Northern looked aloof for a while, recalling the entire experience of disorganizing the chaos construct of all the trees here to make it so that the monster wouldn't be able to find any of them as suitable hosts.
After, of course, finding the chaos construct of the monster itself first.
It was simple yet not simple.
