Itwasn’tintentional. I promise!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, I kicked off the ground and dashed forward, heading left across that thin streak of river in the middle of the canyon — where Juliana and Alexia were still trapped, bound in place by massive roots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Willing Essence into my legs, I ran as fast as I could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...But I barely reached the river’s edge when dozens more tree-crabs came charging at me, hissing and screeching, their pincers snapping like oversized scissors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tch.\" I skidded to a stop, gritted my teeth, and slammed both hands down again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the ground behind me, two massive stone hands rose — each one easily the size of a small house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in their grasp, a colossal battleaxe began to take shape from hardened earth and tough rock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time it was done being formed, the battleaxe was absurdly oversized — sharp enough to split boulders and wide enough to block the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stone hands tightly gripped its handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And swung it in a sweeping arc!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—BOOOOOM!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The axe cleaved clean through the front half of the swarm. Dozens of tree-crabs were split apart, carved mid-screech.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest were sent flying back like scraps of paper caught in a storm, their limbs flailing wildly before they crashed into the dirt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I didn’t stop to admire the carnage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My eyes flicked toward the Tree King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That crowned creature of the canyon was already preparing to strike — thick new roots burst from the ground before it, ready to lash toward me like a nest of angry serpents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I didn’t let it finish its preparation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The giant stone hands I had conjured pulled the colossal axe back in one clean motion...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...And thenhurledit forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battleaxe spun through the air like a massive, deadly wheel. Dirt and wind kicked up in its wake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tree King twitched. For the first time since I had seen it... it hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It pulled its attacking roots back, now coiling them upward instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a blink, the roots knotted together into a massive, twisted trunk — easily twice as thick as the axe itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tree King had formed a wall of living wood to shield itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—CRRAAAACK!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The colossal stone axe slammed into the wall of roots with a shattering boom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The impact rocked the canyon. Bark exploded. Splinters flew like shrapnel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The trunk didn’t break... but it came close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A deep crack ran through it — not clean, but still deep enough to bleed sap. The colossal axe was buried halfway inside the massive truck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tree King roared. Or maybe that was just the wood groaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Either way, I didn’t care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I turned to resume running toward Juliana and Alexia... but before I could take even a single step, something slammed into my side from the left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—CRUNCH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tree-crab’s massive pincer clamped around my torso like a steel trap, lifting me clean off the ground and nearly chopping me in half.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gahhh—!!\" I groaned, eyes snapping wide from the pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My ribs flared and my back screamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I immediately forced Essence into my midsection, hardening the muscle and bone there in a desperate attempt of reinforcement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pincer still squeezed hard and crushed my flesh — but it didn’t break me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I manifested a flaming arrow in my right hand and rammed it straight into the tree-crab’s upper arm — the same one holding me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—FWOOM!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The explosion lit the monster’s shoulder like a firework. Its whole arm blew apart in a burst of embers and shattered bark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It let out a high-pitched cry and stumbled backward as the rest of its body caught fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The severed limb, still gripping me, dropped with a heavy thud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I crashed down with it, still pinned inside the pincer, groaning in agony as I hit the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn—\" I hissed, tearing myself free from the cracked claw. I staggered back, lost my footing, and landed hard on one knee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pain stabbed through my side. One of my ribs — the one I’d fractured during the fight with Jake — still wasn’t fully healed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I gasped for breath with teeth clenched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that’s when I saw them...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dozens of massive roots — thicker than spears and tips sharpened like jagged lances — came whistling toward me from above, conjured by the Tree King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They fell fast, their sharp ends meant to impale me like shredded cheese.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My hands snapped up, ready to summon a wall of stone or something—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I didn’t get the chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because just in time, something — orsomeone— slammed into me, tackling me clean out of the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We hit the ground hard and rolled a few times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spiky roots crashed into the earth behind us with a thunderousCRACK, spearing into the ground like nails through paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I gritted my teeth and pushed off the ground, coming up to one knee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because standing beside me was a young man — his breath steady and his stance calm despite the chaos around us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black hair, blacker than the feathers of a raven. Fair skin and eyes like the bottom of an abyss — deep and endless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lean frame and sharp features.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that same aura of a cliché protagonist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yup. I recognized this guy, alright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was none other than Michael Godswill.\u003C\u002Fp>",1237,"2026-05-30T12:03:22.768Z","2026-06-01T04:31:11.943Z",1,"novelbin.me","78c6812a8ef75991077cf3d176f3046647d883f50bcd5e572430cb4930a13aaa","young-master-s-pov-woke-up-as-a-villain-in-a-gam-chapter-244","young-master-s-pov-woke-up-as-a-villain-in-a-gam-chapter-242",407,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fyoung-master-s-pov-woke-up-as-a-villain-in-a-gam-cover.jpg"]
