Florie’s body slowly began to change. Her wings grew in size, almost three times as big, growing sharper and menacing. Each wing had several red-colored eye-like patterns of colors in them, as she suddenly grew a pair of little horns in her forehead, and her ears gained some purple-colored scales, which also emerged in her feet and arms. And to boot, a small snake-like tail appeared in her back! What is going on with her body?
[The [Mid Boss] [Corrupted Venomous Dark Fairy: Florie: Lv 25 (ELITE)] has emerged!]
[The [Mid Boss] has unleashed her [Boss Aura: Venomous Abyss Domain]!]
[Within this Domain, you’ll take Poison and Darkness Attribute Damage Constantly, and Poison and Darkness Attribute Attack Power is enhanced by +50%]
[Additionally, those that die in this Domain become sacrifices for the [Mid Boss], each Soul increases her stats by +5%, the Death of Players also counts in this calculation]
“WHAT?! She’s worse than the Mushroom Hero!” I cried in horror. ．
FLASH!
Suddenly, I saw something similar with the Mushroom Hero when I concentrated my eyes into Florie’s ever-growing Aura of Poison and Darkness. I saw strings… similar to those the Mushroom Hero had! Is this… can I do something against them?
The strings were purple-colored and looked more like snakes. They connected to Florie and were somehow fueling her with this purple and black energy, making her grow constantly more diabolic. The more I looked at them, the more I noticed an ever-growing silhouette of an enormous Snake looking down at us, with gigantic crimson red eyes.
Was this… the Snake Queen? So she’s the one controlling Florie with her powers, somehow? Maybe if I cut down those strings, I can free Florie or at least, I can try to do that!
“T-The darkness is spreading…!” Said Nieve, being protected by my barrier, we barely managed to ignore the domain’s venomous effect, but it was still consuming the barriers, they won’t even last ten minutes like this. I might have more MP than 1600 thanks to all the Titles bonus stats accumulated, but even then, it might not be enough.
“T-This is a Boss Domain! Without the Barrier of Planta, we would be dead meat already, we are super weak to poison as nature-type races!” Titan said. He had already spread out his roots, connecting to the tree and forming a large platform where we were standing right now, which was firmly stuck to the hard tree trunk.
“W-What the heck do we do now?! Isn’t she even more overpowered than the giant snake? Do we even stand a chance?” Asked Rita nervously.
“Of course we do, Rita! Use the Malice Orb you have and absorb as much Malice as you can from Florie, she got tons, right?” I asked.
“Eh?! I can do that? …RIGHT!” Rita realized the obvious, as her darkness orb began to float before her, suddenly beginning to absorb the darkness of the domain that Florie emanated. But even then, it wasn’t fast enough to completely destroy her domain. We still had to deal with it, although in a weakened and more doable state. “Oooh! I am actually getting more power in this domain because I use darkness attribute!” Rita said maliciously, suddenly pointing her staff at Florie.
“Give me back my SISTER!” Nieve roared, as she swung her Rapier furiously against Florie, a battle quickly broke out.
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
Nieve’s rapier moved swiftly and almost masterfully, unleashing storms of wind and icicle spears that attacked Florie with everything she had, but the little fairy intercepted them with enormous barriers of darkness, as gigantic snake heads made of some sort of phantasmal dark energy retaliated against Nieve, parrying her physical attacks!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
“Nnggh…! S-So strong…!” Nieve muttered, mustering her strength to keep up with the Phantom Snake heads. Florie wasn’t moving much at all. Was she a Stationary Boss? Well, that’s for the better!
“Everyone, let’s attack while Nieve distracts Florie! …Ah! Where are the knights and soldiers at?!” I quickly looked behind me, finding them all trembling in fear far away, without being able to approach this darkness. Well, it was better if they stayed far away, even though it was very cowardly. “You guys escape! This is not something you can handle! Evacuate the people to the underground again! Tell the Queen about this!”
“U-Understood!”
The fearful soldiers and knights flew away right after I gave them that command, as all three of us ran forward! I mounted by Belle as she jumped over the platforms that Titan created for us, while Loki, Silver, and the evolved Mimy ran at my side, attacking the smaller Phantom Snake Heads that noticed us and began to direct their attacks at us.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
“ROAR!”
Silver roared furiously, unleashing an explosive bombardment of dozens of spiraling water spears against the snakes, quickly exploding in contact, and destroying one of them swiftly. Meanwhile, Loki unleashed her vines, attacking another two snake heads and crushing them by whipping them out furiously! And while that was happening, Mimy used her brand new sword techniques to unleash several slashing attacks, all while using her shield to protect herself from the attacks of Florie.
Despite all of this, she seemed concentrated into Nieve, as she was barely attacking us using these snakes instead of her true powers. As she was conjuring giant spears made of darkness, which she pointed at Nieve.
“RAAAAH!”
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
Nieve intercepted each spear with her amazing and swift movements, unleashing a storm of snow and ice around her and freezing some before they could even reach her!
Meanwhile, I took out my weapon and decided to shape it as an hatchet, that’s also a Farmer Tool, apparently! And without further ado, I swung it while calling forth the power of the Great Spirit.
“Great Spirit, please help me out!!!”
“Here I am, Planta!”
“Alright…! Spiritual Attack!”
SLAAAASH!
I swung my Hatchet with all the strength I had, as a slicing wave of spiritual green essence emerged from it, clashing against Florie’s domain and her darkness barriers, and making them shatter!
CRASH!
“H-Huh?! T-That power…!” Florie muttered, suddenly feeling shocked.
