The Vampiric Bat Queen quickly noticed that we were attempting to get closer to the big shots, as she quickly flew towards us at a furious speed. Her wings didn’t even flapped when she flew, only giving one single flap and propelling herself across the skies like a blur of red color. Her enormous jaws opened furiously, hissing at us, while her legs with their sharp claws approached us. She instantly and foolishly attempted to fight Belle, attacking her head!
CLAAAASSSSHHH!!!
ZAAAP!
However, what came out of Belle’s head was lightning from her golden horns!
“GRYYYAAAH!”
The Vampire Bat Queen was left utterly shocked, as she hissed back at us and then attempted to move away, only for her legs to get caught on Loki’s vines, which tightly wrapped them and then pulled her back to us!
“SHAAA!”
The Vampire Bat Queen roared angrily at us, as several blades made of blood emerged around her wings as she spread them out, shooting them at us one after the other!
“Spiritual Barrier!”
I quickly erected a Spiritual Barrier and shaped it into a shield of sorts, protecting us while being in midair, and then adding several more layers to it.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
“Belle, another zap!”
“MEEEEE!”
Belle furiously charged forward towards the Bat Queen, as the enormous flighted beast attempted to evade her charges in midair, it had more speed than Belle, actually. 𝐞𝐨𝘃𝐞𝐥.
FLASH! FLASH! FLAASH!
“Hahahaha! You cannot possibly think that even by trapping her you can reach her speed! The Vampire Bat Queen is the fastest monster in this entire place!” The Cultists atop her back laughed at our pointless attempts.
“And you cannot possibly think that’s all we’ve got!” Said Nieve, flying towards the vines wrapped around the bat queen, the obvious and actual weakness as she couldn’t move them away because they were wrapped around Loki’s vines, and then she froze her legs, quickly beginning to spread the ice across the bat queen’s body! “Permafrost!”
CRSSHHH!
“SHAAAA!”
The sound of ice crystals forming across the bat queen’s entire body echoed across the caves. The other cultists were beginning to panic, as they quickly pointed their staffs at us.
“We didn’t wanted to waste Mana right now but so be it!”
“Master Jeremias said that Players can’t die, let’s test that!”
The cultists formed hundreds of spheres of darkness and directed them all towards us, shooting them at fast speed.
“Light Eagle! Shining Lion! Heaven Tiger!”
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
Titan suddenly summoned three light-attribute elemental spirit beasts, all of them being beasts made purely out of light, as they flew towards the dark bullets and blocked them from reaching us.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOOM! BOOOMM!!!
“SHAAA!”
The Vampiric Bat Queen tried to fly away faster from us but the vines wrapped her legs kept dragging us along with her, and the weight we gave to her only made her slugger.
“Now, Elemental Spirits!”
I quickly summoned the Elemental Spirits I created from the Spiritual Buds, some were still alive, as I commanded them all to pester the bat.
Fireballs, slicing winds, small boulders, and piercing water attacks reached the bat queen, as her entire body started to bleed and her HP started to drop faster than we thought, she really sucked at defense.
“Now, go finish her!” I said, quickly helping Lily jump off the air. As the smallest of the group that was strong enough to beat a monster with a single and decisive blow, I quickly sent off Lily into the airs.
“HYAAAA! Rock… HAMMER!”
Her Hammer was suddenly enhanced and encompassed by several stones and crystals, growing to a monumental size, as it quickly fell over the cultists and the Vampire Bat Queen at a deadly speed.
CRAAAASSSSHHHH!!!
The cultists were… completely flattened, and the Bat’s head blew into pieces. And yes, the rest of the body fell into the floor, and exploded into particles of light.
“Oh my god we actually killed people this time…” Achlys said.
“Weren’t you the one the most into it anyways?!” Asked Titan.
“Yeah but… damn that was bloody, holy shit.” Achlys sighed, looking down as we saw that the cultists bodies disappeared like monsters.
“Lily, gotcha!”
I quickly caught Lily by stretching my arms into vines and wrapping her up, she was so light weighted it made me wonder where she even got that insane physical strength. Well, Brownies are just built different I suppose.
“Guider, what we did… was it okay?” I asked.
“Yeah, why wouldn’t it be okay? Those humans? Well they used to be normal NPC, but the moment they made a contract with the Demon King their very bodies mutated and they became monsters. There’s no penalty for killing them. You even get dropped items, EXP, and gold out of it.” The Guider Spirit seemed completely unfazed by cold blooded murder.
“Y-Yeah, I guess… Let’s just think they were just very bad people.” I sighed. “Because they were.”
“Don’t overthink it. I did it because I was infuriated at them, they want to destroy the whole forest and kill all the people on it! In ancient times like medieval times, people always slain their foes. And there’s tons of games where you can kill humans, so I doubt it really mattered much.” Lily sighed.
Well, if this wasn’t really a game, I would be doubting what she said, but at the moment, I don’t really have time to doubt her nor question her or anything at all. We had to hurry and get this done, or else everything would end.
“T-They killed three of us in a single blow?!”
“T-They’re monsters…”
“What happened to their bodies?! Why are they just gone?”
“T-Their power even consumes bodies and souls!”
“They’re truly monsters! The real monsters are them!”
The other surviving Cultists were treating us as monsters. Apparently it wasn’t normal for people to just poof out of existence and drop Gold and Items, I can tell.
“Well, you guys are next!” Rita said with a smile. “This time, let me nasty my hands too.”
I guess we were all partners in crime now… I might as well do it too.
