The ground adorned with trees collapsed rapidly in heaves, and a multitude of Wood Thorns measuring tens of meters in length burst from the earth, densely scattered across the land.
The young deer awkwardly dodged the thorns, leaping and weaving through the increasingly narrow space, its pale face tinged with a hint of frustration.
In theory, upon activating the ability "Pain," it should have become more powerful, but as a creature of the wood element, it had been stripped of its control over the wood element by the Wood Elemental from the very beginning; now, it could only manipulate the ability "Pain," which was utterly ineffective against these lifeless Wood Thorns.

Through the gaps between the thorns, the deer's deep black eyes focused on the colossal beast standing tall amidst the forest.
Rustle!
Amidst the whirl of dirt, another Wood Thorn shot up from the ground, hurtling straight towards the little deer.
