The unicorn stayed looking in that direction for a while, and after that, it closed its eyes and lay back on the ground.
No sound emitted from the forest, and it was absolute quietness.
Shrubs!
But at that moment, from above one of the trees, a leaves rustling sound came.
Huff!
Suddenly, the unicorn opened its eyes and began to run away, but from above one of the trees, a figure jumped out.
From the darkness, only its silhouette could be seen, and that figure was humanoid but full of spikes around the body.
Swish!
As soon as the figure jumped out, it threw one of the spikes toward the unicorn that was running.
The skin of the unicorn suddenly glowed, and a pink-colored shield appeared around it.
Clank!
The spike thrown by the shadowy figure managed to pierce the shield but got stopped halfway through. The shadowy figure then jumped down and kicked the end of the spike.
Crik!
From his kick, the spike penetrated further through the shield and managed to crush it, piercing through the body of the unicorn.
Neigh!
The unicorn exclaimed in pain and struggled to run away, but the shadowy figure grabbed hold of the unicorn from its horn and forced it to the ground.
"Spike General Warren..."
Huff!
Unicorn exclaimed in pain.
"How did a terrible creature like you manage to get in here?" it asked, but the other figure stayed silent.
"Are you tired of living? As soon as our king finds out about what you're doing, he will slit that throat of yours."
While it's talking, its horn on the head began to glow, and it aimed it toward the shadow figure.
Swish!
Stolen novel; please report.
A giant spike, one the size of a sword, pulled out from Warren's back as he thrust it through the head of the unicorn again.
The shine in the horn of the unicorn dispersed as its head fell to the ground lifeless.
Pulling out the spiked weapon, Warren forcefully tore apart the unicorn horn in it's head and held it in his hand.
Clutching the unicorn's horn in his hand, Warren walked toward the shining crystal, and as he got closer, his appearance became clear in the shine of the crystal.
His whole body is like a human figure, but his skin is much darker and shines slightly like the tough skin of a wild creature. Countless sharp spikes grow out from his back, and from his elbows, two long, sharp spikes appeared like weapons.
Around the ground where Warren walked, the tiny little creatures and birds fell to the ground, acting lifeless, as a dark substance slowly devoured their bodies like parasite. The tiny creatures stood silently as the darkness slowly devoured them. The flower field slowly disappeared to ashes as the drakness slolwy seep into the field.
Getting closer to the shining crystal, Warren observed it. The blue-colored crystal seemed like a living creature; inside, there was a liquid-like substance that moved slowly.
Suddenly, Warren lifted up the horn of the unicorn in its hand and thrust it at the crystal.
Clang!
The unicorn horn pierced straight through the crystal, and the crystal shattered into countless pieces.
The only shining thing in the dark forest suddenly disappeared, and the darkness around instantly swallowed the whole area. The darkness surrounded Warren and swallowed him, acting like a shroud around him.
After he got swallowed by the darkness, Warren looked around at the spherical-shaped dark surface surrounding him.
But it was not darkness; it was like countless dark-colored creatures swirling around him ceaselessly.
Suddenly, countless eyes appeared from the darkness, their pupils a deathly pale white.
Facing them, Warren suddenly knelt down.
"My king, the unicorn king's territory is rapidly becoming weaker. I hope you are satisfied with these results," said Warren.
"Time will come, Flower of Spirit. The Spirit Flower will bloom soon. Find it and bring it to me," a eerie tone from the darkness spoke out.
And in the next moment, the dark bubble that spread around Warren shattered, and the creatures covered him, blending him into the darkness around him.
"Search through every inch of this forest. Before it blooms, I need to find the Spirit Flower and offer it to my king,"
While Warren was speaking, countless eyes appeared behind him in the darkness, their pupils a brown color.
"If anyone dares to get in the way, show them my wrath," he added with a tone of authority.
After Warren spoke, the eyes in the darkness spread through the forest, moving swiftly around the area. In just a few minutes, they covered a long distance, where countless creatures ran away from Warren's direction to another area. The dark creatures jumped into their shadows and blended in with the atmosphere.

A slight wind blew past the giant tree that stood in front of Blanco's nest. Under the night sky, the tree had a strange shining color different from its daytime hue.
At the top of the tree, the unbloomed flower bud remained in a gloomy manner, but suddenly, a tiny crack appeared on its surface, emitting a deep, brilliant neon-colored shine.
In the dark space of Blanco's consciousness, the unbloomed flower bud suddenly moved, and a slight crack appeared on its surface, also releasing a neon-colored shine to the outside.

Laying in the hay bed on the ground, Blaco was sleeping comfortably. And at that moment, a little face got close to him and stuck out its tongue, licking his face.
"Ugh, huh?" Blanco opened his eyes from the wet and strange feeling and saw the tiny female creature in front of him, her face extremely close to his.
