“Lady Planta the potions are gone, this is the last one!!!” Cried Acorn, letting me drink the last potion on his arsenal. I had some Spring Water, but its ability to recover MP was over time, it wouldn’t be enough for the insane amount of Mana I needed to keep this whole transformation. Rita and Titan were out of Mana as well, so I was gambling it all on Belle this time around!
Something amazing had happened with Belle and Loki when I transformed. They had joined in the fusion. Loki was the most compatible as she was a plant monster after all. But I had never expected Belle to be amazingly compatible as well. There was something that Summons had that made them very different from conventional tamed monsters, they could be revived. This meant that they were not normal beings.
They were something similar to Spirits, even. Summons who seem so realistic, resembling normal animals or monsters were beings primarily composed of Mana and… Spirit Energy, surprisingly! Their ability to revive comes from their contract with their summoner. Even if they die, they can reconstruct themselves as they’re truly ethereal beings, not physical. They simply take a physical shape by being summoned in certain shapes.
I had realized such a truth when the two of them fused with me. Loki temporarily became a giant mass of vines… but what about Belle? What could she had possibly become? Well, she fused with the earth and the roots of my own body and turned into a giant too!
CRAAAASH!
My own body broke apart, as from within the interior, a twelve-meter-tall Goat made of wood and stone emerged, jumping straight towards the skies, and moving forward towards the Mushroom Hero! Her entire body emanated a fiery red aura, this was because her Berserk Mode was activated. It was a special Skill that enhance all her physical capabilities by a certain percentage with each Skill Level… and Belle already had it at Level 5!
This meant that the Skill enhanced her physical stats by +50%! Her jump alone left shockwaves behind her that shook the earth, as her horns started to flow brightly, growing bigger and sharper, made out of stone and wood, they were suddenly covered in the brightest golden light one could ever see in their lives. She was using Horn Charge in combination with Horn Attack and Berserk Mode, a deadly, killer combination.
“MEEEEEEE!!!”
“Ungh?!”
The Mushroom Hero, who was being distracted by the struggling Loki and her vines was quickly hit by a gigantic Goat’s horns, pushing him upwards into the ceiling with an incredible force!
CRAAASSSH!!!
Belle’s horns pierced through the Hero’s body, reaching deep into his rotten flesh as his arm holding his sword was sliced off by her powerful horns. His entire body began to be torn apart by Belle’s fury as she shook her horns around in the middle of the air.
“GRAAAAAHH…!” The Hero groaned in agony as his entire body was being destroyed by the furious Belle!
SNAP!
The last Phantasmal String was cut off, and then, I called our small, secret helper!
“Silver, go for it!”
“GRYSHA!”
Silver emerged from atop the head of Belle, jumping straight towards the Hero and piercing his chest with her body! As she was covered in silver, metallic scales, she was able to easily pierce through his rotten flesh, reaching a crystal core and shattering it in an instant as if she were a spear!
Crack… crack…!
CRASH!
“UUAAAGGH…!”
The Hero cried, pointing his hand at Silver to attack her, but his arm began to turn into ashes. His entire body was in fact fading away incredibly quickly… We did it, we really did it!
The Hero’s entire body faded away, as his voice suddenly whispered to my ears.
“Thank you… I shall… leave you my legacy to you…”
“Eh?”
FLASH!
His body faded away into ashes, as Belle fell down into the ground with a loud sound.
BOOM!
The little Silver was carried over her head and landed just fine. Belle’s coverture quickly began to whiter and dissipate into spiritual essence, as the small white goat emerged from within, looking as expressionless as ever.
“It is… done?” Asked Titan. 𝘯𝑜𝘷𝑙．𝑐𝘰𝘮
“I-I think so…” Muttered Rita.
“W-Wow… We really did something big this time.” I sighed. My gigantic body began to crumble apart into pieces, as I fell into the ground, taking a bit of damage, but I was just fine. I managed to catch Acorn, who would had seriously been hurt if he fell from such a height… perhaps.
We looked into the distance, finding that the tomb of the hero was shining brightly now. The light spread out all around the dungeon, purifying all the miasma left over, and leaving everything well clean.
FLASH!
The darkness that represented the presence of the Dark Demon King of Miasma began to quickly dissipate by the power of this bright light, as he roared back at us angrily.
“Y-You damn mortals! How… How is it possible for a Dryad… to do such a thing?!” He cried. “I won’t forgive this! Mark my words! I won’t forgive thisssssss…!”
And then, all his darkness and miasma disappeared. The light left even the ceiling, walls, and floor completely lustrous with clean brilliance. I could even have dinner in the floor now by how clean it was! …Not like I will do that.
“Well done, my child…”
The voice of Gaia resonated not only to me, but all of them room. Rita and Titan could listen to it as well. The two felt a bit shocked by her voice. Rita couldn’t recognize her, but Titan did. It seems he also meet her on his character creation.
“That’s… that voice is Gaia?” Asked Titan.
“Gaia?” Wondered Rita.
“Thank you for cleansing this evil from the dungeon… As a reward, you may keep the dungeon as well… For now, we shall continue watching over you. You three are… interesting beyond our expectations. Perhaps the ones that might save the world are the most unlikely of heroes…” She whispered happily, as her voice quickly faded away.
Wait… did she said I could keep the dungeon?
