Chapter 313: [311] Conquest
On their way back, Stunk, Zel, and Kanchal witnessed firsthand what true power looked like.
Every magical beast they encountered along the way was no match for August. Even when a pack of over twenty Flame Wolves attacked together, they were all swiftly annihilated by August in the blink of an eye. His shadow blades were simply terrifying.
It was as if he were strolling casually, and wherever he walked, no magical beasts could approach him.
Strong! Unstoppable! Unfathomable!
A string of accolades floated through the minds of Stunk, Zel, and Kanchal, all directed at August. It was this sheer display of strength that made them abandon the idea of inviting August on any future missions. With someone this powerful, they realized they'd only be dead weight, mere ornaments in comparison.
August, unaware of their thoughts, had been busy along the way collecting the corpses of magical beasts. Without exception, he took them all and stored them in his small world to feed the World Tree sapling.
In fact, in places unnoticed by the trio, August had summoned several shadow claws to roam the wild, hunting even more magical beasts. After all, the World Tree sapling was a voracious entity, constantly devouring resources.
"Hey, August... how many of your Demon God tribe are left?" Kanchal asked curiously.
"I'm the last one. It's incredibly difficult for our tribe to bear offspring, and by the time it reached me, I was the only one left."
"Sorry, I didn't know," Kanchal said, feeling slightly embarrassed.
"It's fine. This is just how the world works. Powerful beings have a harder time bearing children," August replied calmly.
