Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Nine
The light from the shattered rift faded, leaving behind only ash and the scent of scorched mana. Wave five had been brutal—more coordinated, more powerful, and faster than anything that came before it. Yet Crow's army, his heroes, and especially his undead had crushed it with overwhelming force.
As silence fell upon the battlefield once more, a sudden pulse of light erupted before Crow.
A divine notification rang out across the system:
[WORLD ANNOUNCEMENT: Crow has cleared the Fifth Cataclysmic Wave—The First to Ever Do So.]
Reward: Primordial God Rank Unit – ???
A glowing seed of golden energy hovered in the air before him. It pulsed with life, nature, and a force far older than the system itself.
Crow stepped forward.
The energy bloomed like a flower—revealing a figure suspended in radiant vines and celestial leaves.
A woman emerged—tall, graceful, and impossibly beautiful. Emerald eyes shimmered like ancient forests. Her long hair, a cascade of gold-laced ivy, drifted on an invisible wind. Her armor was formed from living roots and crystalline leaves, imbued with divine energy.
[Unit Name: Sylvanna, Eternal Warden of the World Tree]
Race: Elven Primordial
Elements: Nature, Life, Reality
Rank: Primordial God Rank
Loyalty: Bound – Heartlink Contract with Crow
Sylvanna opened her eyes and looked directly at Crow.
"I have waited through ten thousand seasons for a worthy master," she said, voice like wind through leaves. "You are… far more than I hoped for."
Crow nodded, calm as always. "Then stand with me. The world's just beginning to shift."
Behind him, Liana narrowed her eyes at Sylvanna. Astrid crossed her arms, huffing silently.
Sylvanna gracefully stepped to Crow's side, vines curling protectively around him. "Where you go, I shall follow. The World Tree answers your will now."
And with that, the battlefield shifted once more—its balance tipping further into Crow's unstoppable hands.
