It looked like the infiltration was complete.
And that wasn't all.
Crack-
"Ouch...!"
When Ariadne reached out her hand, demonic energy burst out, causing a violent rebound. She screamed and took a step back.
"...This is serious."
The funny thing was that despite being in such a state, almost no demonic energy could be felt from the outside. Whether it was due to the excellent concealment magic of the demonic species or the special nature of the World Tree branch, he wasn't sure.
"Ariadne, can you purify it?"
"I really hate to say this, but it's impossible."
Ariadne explained that not a bit of forest energy remained.
"That's no longer the incarnation of the Mother Tree, but something else wearing its guise."
It was similar to an undead. Just because you raise an undead from a dead corpse doesn't mean the undead is the same person as the owner of the corpse.
Although it might inherit some of the abilities that the original body had.
"So it's already too late."
