“[Spiritual Attack]!”
CLAAASH!
An enormous aura slash made from this enormous amount of Spiritual Essene came out of my weapon, impacting the Snake Queen’s open jaws and piercing through her two sharp fangs, and even slicing through her tongue! The energy went through her mouth, reaching the interior of her body, and exploding inside!
“SHAAAAAAAAAHHH…!”
The scream of the Snake Queen resonated across the cave, as she was blown away with all my power!
BOOOOOMMM!!!
Her enormous body clashed in the opposite direction of the cave, leaving an enormous crater behind her gigantic body, as it shaped the walls of this vast cave.
Her entire body ended wounded, as the interior of her body was also completely damaged. The Spiritual Energy I fired at her easily wounded her entire gigantic body, as several of her scales began to fall, countless crack-shaped wounds appeared over her body, as green and golden light began to come out of them, at the same time, flowers grew out of her wounds, draining away her life.
“Unngh…! Gaagh….! Aggh…! T-That attack… W-What… what was that…?! Unghh… Guagh…!”
The Snake Queen continued to struggle to even speak, as she continued to vomit blood, that attack alone took away 30% of her total HP!
I had imbued all the power of the Great Spirit into that single attack, so the Great Spirit is now quite tired and will need at least a minute to rest before I can use her powers at full once more. But that’s a good enough starting point!
“Hahahaha! This is the power of a revived Great Spirit, foolish snake! A pawn of that damned Demon King will never defeat my Vessel!” The Great Spirit made herself visible to everybody, talking as cheeky as she had always done.
“G-Great Spirit?! So you have such a power within you…” The Snake Queen slowly tried to crawl back, but my friends wouldn’t simply allow her.
“Onwards!” Titan roared, as he was already transformed into his Garden Guardian form, twice as tall as before and incredibly bulky, yet somehow agile, he jumped forward into battle alongside a hundred smaller Rose Garden Knights as well.
“Snake Queen, your reign of terror ends today!” Nieve roared, already in her Frost Princess Form after merging with her Spiritual Projection. Her beautiful wings generated aurora borealis around her as fifty Fairy Spirits wore armor made of ice and weapons made of ice.
“Let’s do this… Saphee. Let’s finish this.” Titania said, holding into her beautiful and lustrous Magic Rapier, as her enormous wings unleashed a rainbow of spiritual essence pouring everyone with power, me included.
“We’ll serve our Lady with all our might and make up for the rest of us that couldn’t come here!” Sporegon roared raising his sword with Hunter, Magius, and Alice at her side.
“Damn right!” Acorn said while taking his potions and bombs from his Inventory. “This forest’s has always been the home of my tribe, of my parents, of my grandpa, and of… grandma! I won’t let any pawn of the Demon King nasty its beauty any longer! We’ll fight to protect it if that’s necessary! And I am here to represent the Squirrel-kin, the descendants of the Ancient Messenger of the Gods, Ratatoskr!”
Acorn had the flashiest monologue, but I couldn’t expect less from him.
An aura of power began to surge from all of us, the combined Aura of the Queen of Fairies, alongside the ever-expanding aura of the Terrain of Magical Flower Garden, and the Terrain of my [Farmer’s Authority], all merged together boosted our stats through the roof, completely making them all skyrocket!
“Heh! See? You’ve gotten yourself a damn amazing team already, Planta!” Said the Guider Spirit. “Now stay focused and defeat this Boss so you can Evolve and safe the Forest at the same time!”
“I know! You don’t have to remind me of it!” I said with a prideful smile.
Somehow… I finally realized, with everyone here with me, I have truly forged a new life in this world. This game, whatever it was, sure enough, it should possibly be not just a game. I know that there’s something else to all of this.
There is something really telling me that these stakes, and the lives we were trying to protect… they are all real!
“Hmph… Hahahaha! Foolish! All of you are stupid! You can’t go against the Demon King! His power is supreme! The Players had been trying so hard to defeat him, yet he crushes them like ants constantly!” The Snake Queen said. “Titania! This world is not the same we know of! There’s a System, and this System demands sacrifices for us to grow stronger… This is a fair world where the stronger crushes the weak and grows even stronger… this is a world where even my lord will thrive, and become even stronger than before! There is no point in going back against him! You’re all the foolish ones for still having hope… I lost it long ago, and now, look at me!”
FLASH!
After lowering her HP to 70%, the Snake Queen suddenly undergone a transformation. Her purple scales were completely replaced as she molted her body. And instead, metallic-like black scales resembling those of a dragon emerged across her body, while a pair of gigantic dragon-like wings appeared behind her back, flapping rapidly and lifting her gigantic body up the air.
“I have already surpassed what I originally was!”
Ding!
[The [Dungeon Boss: [Ravenous Venomous Snake Queen: Saphee: Lv35] has reached its [Second Phase]!]
“Now all of you insolent vermin, perish!!! [Darkness Miasma Meteor]!” ．
She suddenly and furiously flapped her wings, as enormous meteors made of crystalized darkness began falling from the skies one after the other, reaching up to us!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Each Darkness Meteor exploded in the ground, suddenly unleashing enormous quantities of darkness and miasma and trying to take over my Terrain!
“I won’t allow it!”
TRUUUMMM!
I hit the floor furiously, unleashing a blast of light against the miasma, purifying it!
This wasn’t merely a battle of strength… this was also a battle of who could maintain their Terrain above the other!
