An Archdruid already stood among the most powerful figures in this world. As long as Legendary figures did not intervene, hardly anything could threaten him.
"Lord Keral himself once said that darkness and evil had set their sights on him. I think he must have meant beings from the northern Dark Realm. Old Gods, Faceless Ones Generals, Insectoid Emperors-those are horrors beyond your imagination. An Archdruid... probably wouldn't stand a chance." Shawn shook his head and sighed.
The tentacles of the Old Gods had corrupted the northern Dark Realm. Although Shawn had never seen an Old God himself, he knew all too well how terrifying they were. They could corrupt even the Dragon Aspects, take root throughout an entire planet, and form a symbiotic relationship with it. They were dark beings that even the Titans had to approach with caution.
The servants of the Old Gods, the Faceless Ones and the Insect Swarm, were also terrifying. The Faceless Ones in particular were all immensely powerful. The most fearsome among them could even confront the Titan Keepers head-on.
On the day they met Archdruid Keral Prowl, why had he been so eager to give Shawn the seed of the ancient tree? And why had he been unable to help them fight the Black Dragon Servian?
Shawn feared that Keral had already sensed the coming darkness and had been forced to rush his preparations. Shawn had to be cautious.
