The overwhelming dark matter also sensed Kyle's presence. The shadows that coveted the giant's heart slowly dispersed, then surrounded Kyle and began to observe him.
In the darkness, the giant turned his head with difficulty. After seeing Kyle, he was silent for a while, then said in a hoarse voice, "Give me the Fruit of Resuscitation, and maybe … I can resist for another ten years."
The giant's tone was obviously not that confident. For so many years, he had been relying on the Fruit of Resuscitation to resist the dark matter, but the growth cycle of the fruit was too long.
In the last ten years, he could still wait for the Fruit of Resuscitation to arrive, but in this ten years, his movements were completely restricted by the dark matter. Even if the Fruit of Resuscitation was teleported, he might not be able to get it.
The shadow was observing Kyle, and Kyle was also staring at the shadow. In his memories and all the books he had read, he could not find any clues about the shadow. To him, this was an unknown power.
Desolation, corrosion … this thing seemed to have all the attributes of darkness, and it was daunting.
The shadow made a hissing sound that made people uncomfortable. The giant, who was still struggling, knew that this was the precursor to an attack.
"Danger!
Get out of the way! "
The giant used all his strength to pull his right hand out, breaking free from the shackles of the dark matter. He tried to drive the shadow away, but in the end, he was still a step too late.
Under the giant's gaze, the shadow wrapped around Kyle, and in the blink of an eye, his flesh and blood were eaten away, leaving only a white skeleton.
Kyle was also very surprised. As the person involved, he knew best what had just happened. The shadow had actually devoured his Shadow Viewing Technique, directly exposing his body.
The shadow was obviously stunned. This skeleton seemed to be protected by some mysterious power. It should be known that even the giant could not resist the corrosive power.
Sensing Kyle's abnormality, the shadow left his body, turned around, and wrapped around the giant's outstretched arm.
The powerful corrosive power made the giant frown. He drove the life force in his heart to drive the shadow away, but this action made the green barrier around his heart thinner.
"Oh no, the power of the last Fruit of Resuscitation is about to be used up."
Just as the giant was at his wit's end, he discovered a problem. A skeleton was standing straight in front of him.
In the giant's understanding, even if the corrosive power did not corrode Kyle's bones, it should have caused Kyle to lose his vitality and collapse.
But this skeleton was too strange … Its empty eye sockets were burning with blue flames as it stared straight at the giant.
"Are you Sage Mori?"
Not only was the giant shocked, but the shadow also stopped attacking. It hovered in the air and seemed to be watching Kyle.
"Who are you?
Why would he appear here?
Could it be that the forest fairies … "
"Don't overthink it," Kyle said. "Just think of me as Irene who hired me to help you."
After hearing Kyle's explanation, Sage Mori did not feel relieved at all. Instead, he reprimanded, "Didn't I tell you not to let anyone enter this space?"
"It's been so many years, but I don't see you destroying this thing." Kyle didn't give him any face.
"It's useless."
Sage Mori sighed. "Perhaps it will only disappear completely when the World Tree is destroyed. If that happens, the bloodline of the forest fairies will not be able to continue."
"By the way, you've been fighting with it for hundreds of years, right?
Did you notice anything? "Kyle asked." I can't analyze the composition of this thing at all. "
Sage Mori looked up at the shadow hovering in the air and said, "Since the birth of the World Tree, she has purified all negative matter. It has no physical body, and it is also an amalgamation of all the dark forces you can imagine."
"After the World Tree realized its existence, it automatically turned off the purification function, but it did not stop growing. It even tried to devour the World Tree."
After listening to Sage Mori's explanation, Kyle asked, "That's not right. The World Tree has the strongest purification function in this world. Why can't it purify this dark matter?"
Sage Mori sighed. "This dark matter was born because of a loophole in the World Tree. Moreover, the two are of the same origin. By the time the World Tree wanted to strengthen its purification function to get rid of the dark matter, it was already too late."
The amount of information had obviously exceeded Kyle's reading capacity. According to Sage Mori, it seemed that there was no other way to deal with the dark matter other than sacrificing the World Tree to seal it.
"Buzz …"
The emerald green barrier trembled, and a crack suddenly appeared. Sage Mori screamed. The hovering shadow was like a vulture that smelled rotten meat, diving straight for Sage Mori's heart!
"Ping!"
More and more cracks appeared. Sage Mori knew that he might not be able to wait for the next Fruit of Resuscitation.
"Young man, I don't know who you are. If possible, I don't want you to bear this burden."
Sage Mori waved his arms in a final struggle against the shadow. Green liquid was already flowing out of his nose and mouth.
"It will soon devour me. When that happens, it will become even stronger and break through this space. It will only be a matter of time before it invades the World Tree."
* Boom! *
Green liquid splashed out. Sage Mori waved his hand to disperse a few shadows. However, not long after, the shadows gathered again and turned into a group of evil spirits that gnawed at the emerald green barrier.
"My remaining consciousness will tell Irene to prepare to sacrifice the World Tree. If possible, please buy time for the Forest Fairies … for this world."
* Boom! *
With a loud boom, Sage Mori's left arm completely exploded, turning into specks of green light. The invasion of the dark matter stopped for a moment.
Under the protection of the green light, Sage Mori's heart was not pierced by the shadow.
Kyle was helpless. Only things with strong vitality could affect the dark matter. The fireball he threw directly penetrated the shadow.
"Eat my heart, and you can stop them."
* Boom! *
With a few more explosions, Sage Mori's limbs exploded. His huge body rolled to Kyle's side. It seemed that he had made a decision.
"As long as I have a breath left, I will not allow the darkness to desecrate me. Young man, take my heart."
The Soulfire pulsed. Everything slowed down in Kyle's eyes. Sage Mori's body quickly expanded and then shrank. The Light of Life quietly bloomed.
He had fought against the darkness in this space for hundreds of years. No one knew what he was enduring. The only thing that accompanied him was darkness and loneliness.
The power of the explosion blew the emerald green heart away. The shadow rushed forward impatiently. It had been waiting for this day for hundreds of years.
However, just as the shadow was about to touch the heart, a Magician's Hand appeared out of thin air. Kyle made his move and grabbed the heart in his hand at lightning speed.
The emerald green heart beat in the white bone hand. Kyle unhurriedly opened his ribs and placed the heart in his chest.
"I agree."
