Ethan stood at the edge of the forest and calmly observed the waves of corrupted beasts rushing toward him.
The explosion from the bomb had already spread deep into the forest and awakened countless monsters that had been lurking quietly in the gray mist. The forest that had seemed silent moments ago was now filled with growls, roars, and the sound of thousands of heavy footsteps crushing the undergrowth.
Ethan did not move immediately.
His Mental Domain had already expanded outward and covered the surrounding ten kilometers of terrain. Every movement within that area appeared clearly inside his mind.
Dozens of corrupted wolves were approaching from the east.
Hundreds of insect type monsters were swarming from deeper inside the forest.
A herd of twisted horned beasts was rushing from the south.
The number of monsters was rising rapidly.
Ethan slowly opened his eyes.
His expression was calm, but a faint excitement could be seen in his gaze.
"Good," he said quietly.
