"Attack!" Yesenia and Spencer shouted, commanding their armies to confront the enemies.

Because it was hard to fight on a large scale, both of them used the same tactics. They sent their vanguards to the front, stopping the monsters as much as they could. In the meantime, the Ranger, Magician, and all people who had ranged attacks would release their power to bombard the enemies.

The healers were standing behind all of them, healing their injuries. On the other hand, Enchanter and Summoner supported the vanguards with their skills or summoned creatures.

The assassins killed all the monsters that managed to bypass their defense line.

All people in the army had their own job, ensuring the entire army could work.historical

Theo was quite impressed that they could hold the enemies with only this number. Though, he knew a portion of their strength came from the fact he offered the recommendations.

They were trying to show their strength so that they got picked and became even stronger.

While they were fighting, Theo was standing in the air, looking at the entire battlefield from afar.

He asked on the radio, "Have you finished the calculation?"

"There are approximately a total of one hundred thousand monsters coming in our direction."

"One hundred thousand? It's quite big, huh." Theo narrowed his eyes.

"Yes, Commander. We suspect that they're gathering the monsters on their way here, thus the number. There are only thirty to forty thousand monsters near the volcano."

"Understood. Maintain the observation." Theo nodded while looking around. He could see a few groups scattered in the vast forest, ready to send the smoke signal. They were Haivan's people who received the tasks to inform them about the incoming plant monsters.

'We still have the upper hand in this fight. But what I'm concerned about is what will come after that.." Theo pinched the bridge of his nose. "It seems that I have underestimated them.. To think the problems don't come only from human mistakes."

Theo never thought that natural disasters would become one of the triggers for humanity's extinction.

However, Theo had another thought about this.

"If that's the case, won't it be troublesome if we have to take down a tornado, tsunami, or even an earthquake?" Theo was concerned about the destruction that would come from them.

The earthquake might not become a natural disaster anymore because it would be accompanied by a lot of monsters. The tsunami would bring the sea race to their place and allow them to fight underwater, not on land.

"Well, I will worry about them after taking care of the current problem." Theo let out a long sigh and observed the monsters' movements. "The trees won't be coming for at least a few hours to two days. So, I have time to increase some levels."

With that thought in mind, Theo informed the army that he would help them on the front.

His presence was overwhelming because Theo could easily kill a thousand monsters with his power. Although it used quite a lot of Magic Power, Theo was more than happy to use it, considering he expected to get ten to twenty levels from this war.

The soldiers' morales also erupted, following Theo. Their supreme commander was leading them at the very front, so how could they not help?

All of them were trying their best to show their strength, hoping Theo would take note of their name personally.

..

As Theo predicted, something happened ten hours after the eruption.

The trees around the lava were supposed to burn. But surprisingly, there was a small black cloud, raining the lava down and decreasing its temperature.

At the same time, the organic material from the lava, ashes, and minerals from the volcano gradually entered the trees, becoming their source of energy.

The trees' Magic Power began to increase by leaps and bounds.

This was what everyone didn't know. The vines on the ground began to move like a snake, searching for their prey. Something similar happened with the roots as if they were trying to find prey underground.

But more importantly, trees started to move by extending and contracting their roots. With the help of the monsters destroying all kinds of obstacles such as boulders and normal trees, they could travel in this land undisturbed.

Humanity was going to face something they had never seen before. Although they had some experience with plant monsters, this might be the first time they saw a large-scale invasion by the plant monsters.

Poisonous plants, thorned flowers, living grasses, parasitic vines, and even tall, tough trees. All kinds of plants gathered in one place, forming an army of their own and invading the humans.

But the plans also didn't expect Theo to have known about their movement and prepared to take them on even with clueless soldiers.

The plants would know what it meant to fight against Theodore Griffith..

However, there was one miscalculation that both the plants and Theo made in this battle.

They thought that the volcano erupted because it was a natural cycle. They thought this was a natural disaster and just took everything for granted.

The plants manipulated the monsters while Theo prepared for their invasion.

But both of them didn't realize it was actually a man-made disaster.

After the plants moved toward the human base, the ground began to shake before the volcano erupted for one last time.

*Boom!*

This eruption might not be big compared to the previous one, but it shattered the nearby ground that didn't collapse from the eruption earlier.

When the lightning flashed within the volcanic cloud, a massive shadow appeared.

The shadow was standing with two feet. It had a pair of giant wings that spread at least three hundred feet wide. There were three heads attached to the body and the two hands had long sharp claws.

*Roaaaaaaaaaaarrr!*

Suddenly, a huge roar shook the entire region. Filled with rage and energy, the roar felt like it was the sign of death itself.
