"Give it to me," The spirit spoke as it suddenly unleashed all of its strength. With the sudden increase in strength, it sent Ray's mother flying through the air while it made its way towards Ray.

On the other hand,

Ray was standing in his place, his eyes were closed as he deeply concentrated on the staff in his hand and how it was working. The staff was constantly sucking the life force from the surroundings and causing irreversible damages to the forest. Slowly, the influence of the drain increase as it expanded outside the core of the forest and invaded the other regions.

The flora and fauna was being destroyed and being turned to dust while the forest itself wa suffering form damages so great that it would probably be a long time before it healed.

Unbeknownst to everyone,

There were some other changes that were happening as well. After all, everyone was concentrating on a few parts of the forest and seemed to have forgotten about the elven civilization.

Currently, there were great changes going on there as well and the biggest change was caused by none other than the daughter of the elven chief.

Before Ray had left for the forest, he had asked the daughter of elven chief to move forward with the discussed plan and take control of the settlement. The elves were a great help to Ray's plans and he wanted to keep them close to himself while the chief's daughter had also allied herself to him and even signed a blood pact of mutual benefits where Ray would get all the help he needed and in turn he only needed to help the chief's daughter gain strength and let her accompany him in his expeditions.

Around the elven civilization was in turmoil. Their leader had changed but that wasn't a big issue. The problem was the battle that was raging in the whole forest and even though the place where the elven civilization resided was far away from the forest, it had still formed a link with the main forest due to the blessing that elves carried and therefore, wherever they stayed, a forest would grow and flourish.

Therefore, when the battle had started; they had felt the distress of the forest and when Ray used the Yagdrassil staff, the will of the forest itself manifested in front of the chief's daughter. With itself, the will brought a bright crystal in which was the essence of the forest.

"Please take this essence and keep it safe. The previous core was destroyed thoroughly while another being had imprisoned the essence for its benefit. I had used the small opportunity that had appeared right now to rescue the remaining essence and I entrust you with it. After everything is over, please plant this essence where you will settle down and from their would grow a forest and that area would be turned into the forest core,"

As the will of the forest said that, it vanished. The remaining life force that the forest had left was also consumed by Yagdrassil staff and only the essence crystal was left which wa sin. The hands of the chief's daughter whose mouth was wide agape right now.

"I guess so," She muttered and quickly pocketed the essence crystal because right after she did so, a huge wave was spread out from the forest and what followed after was a devastating earthquake.

"The f*ck is he doing. Does want to destroy everything?" She muttered and took flight.

Standing in the air, she looked down at the elves who had gathered and addressed them all at once, "Everyone, we are leaving this place and moving to a suitable place which is safer and more suited for our intended business," Saying so, she locked both her hands together and formed a few hand seals as a light was released from her body and fell upon the elves.

Within their minds, the elves had received their new destination and even though the destination wasn't far away from where they were, the conditions at the moment weren't too good.

A good majority of the soldiers were injured in the previous battle while the trembling quakes that spread out periodically posed an even greater threat than the stray beasts that ran away from the calamity.

"Don't worry my people. I myself will lead everyone and I assure there will be no issues during our travel," Saying those words, an armor appeared over her and she turned around and started leading forward while the elves followed behind her.

Meanwhile,

The battle between the controlled beasts and the humans raged on. The Warmacks had lost a few lives but it was way better than what they had expected and they were happy with this and not just that but the strongest of the beasts were either eradicate or had gained their consciousness and stopped attacking and only the weaker beasts remained which were being weeded out by the human army.

The students were being led by Alina as the head nurse was currently resting. She had been working non stop and even a Celestial had its limits. Especially when they had fought against enough beasts to take down two Celestials at once.

A bit far away from the battlefield,

Kashish wiped the sweat on her forehead as she panted loudly, sprawled over the ground, exhausted from channeling the spell just now. A few locks of her hair had turned grey while a few strands had turned white as well.

This was because the life force that Ray had provided wasn't enough and hence, the spell had turned towards Kashish for energy. Thankfully, it required a bit of life force only or else Kashish might been drained even more thoroughly.

After all, even though she had royal blood flowing through her veins, the quality of her life force wasn't as great as Ray's.

As she gained some breath, she sat up and looked at Emma who had a superior aura surging around her. It was a testament of how strong Emma had gotten and also the face that she now stood at the boundary of Calamity Realm. Needing but one push to step up and reach the Calamity Realm.

"Guess she had some help recently," Praised Kashish as she continued to observe Emma while Emma herself had her eyes closed.

She was currently putting all her concentration on Aella and was trying to wake her up but it was proving to be a challenge.

Aella was deeply unconscious as her mind seemed to be lulled into a deep slumber with her soul to be in some sort of dream.

Emma knew that the situation was hard and time wasn't on her side. She knew what Ray was doing and thus she was trying her very best but whatever she tried to do, Aella didn't budge.

"I guess I can only try that," she thought to herself, gritted her teeth and went on with her plan.

Before the battle, she had taken a small sample of Ray's aura and with her current capabilities, she had the ability to amplify Ray's aura to the point that in whatever state Aella's soul would be, she would encounter his aura completely and would be able to get the point.

However, this technique wasn't an easy one and had its own difficulties and if Emma performed this technique, she knew for sure that she would practically be drained and that too to the point that even lifting a finger wouldn't be possible.

However, since there was no time, she went on with it. The energy around her surged as she poured all her mana she had into the technique and gather a small ball of flame in her hand. The flame was of golden color and burned vigorously.

It was a representation of Ray's aura and holding it, even Emma felt how strong his aura was. Like a primal strength that came from deep within, Emma shivered as she shook her head and went on with her plan.

The mana in her body was poured into the aura as she called out,

[Secret Art:- Aura Amplification],

The flame suddenly surged as it turned even brighter and brighter until a deep purplish color developed in the middle of it.

Emma had her eyes closed and she wasn't able to witness it at all but Kashish did witness it and she was thoroughly shocked by it.

Since she was a princess of a huge empire, the knowledge she had wasn't any less and she knew about aura and soul more thoroughly than most scholars in the many worlds that existed. However, never had she heard or read about someone's aura changing in such a way that the color they were made up of would change and gain more colors.

A person's aura had one color only and even if it changed, only one color remained in their aura. It was a law of the universe but from what she just witnessed, it seemed as if Ray himself was exempted from such laws.

The next moment, Emma fell to the ground with a thud whereas the aura had vanished into the air, only leaving behind a silent shockwave that went unnoticed by many.
