“GRAAAAAHHH!!!”

Suddenly, the enormous mouth of Agatha groaned in agony, her body began to twist around, attempting to take away the two spears piercing her body, but no matter how many tentacles she put int the job, it seemed near impossible. The spears were incrusted deep into her, and she would take several minutes to actually take them out, not just a few seconds. The scream of the abomination quickly prompted Emeraldine to attack right after Partner.

The beautiful half-elf’s eyes flashed with bright emerald light, resembling the beauty and prestige of the forest itself, her bright blonde hair flashed as if it were a pure sea of liquid gold, her figure, clad in black armor, looked contrasting to her other features. Four arrows at once were pointed at the abomination, as her two spirits floated around her body, infusing their spiritual essence into her weapon.

FLAAASH!

Bright green and golden lights converged magisterially, as the lightning emanating from the magic bow was merged together as well, Emeraldine calmly infused all the MP she had in her entire body into the four arrows, firing them carefreely, as if there was no effort or intent at all. The arrows, however, flashed fast across the sky, reaching their target in seconds. In midair, they coated themselves in such powerful light that it enhanced their speed and easily evaded the tentacles of Agatha. The abomination didn’t even felt any pain when the four small arrows pierced her flesh, they were nothing at all compared to her…

“Yggdrasil’s Blessings: Spring’s Blossom.”

With a few beautiful words, Emeraldine’s eyes flashed with bright green light, in a split of a second, each arrow exploded into countless roots and branches of a tree, merging together, and covering the enormous floating abomination. The gigantic meatball suddenly felt great agony as sharp roots began to pierce through her skin constantly, emerging into her body surface all the time. Gigantic branches sprouted upwards, flourishing with flowers and leaves the beauty of spring was at full view as Agatha’s agonizing scream combined rather well with her new appearance.

Agatha’s tentacles quickly stopped emerging and attacking everyone all the time, the abomination also stopped her hastened evolution as she was trying to take out the two gigantic spears and the tree growing over her body, all while trying to fend off Lucifer’s breath attack. Maria had a chance, and she didn’t waste it. She immediately flew towards the enormous demonic aberration as fast as possible, evading the insects coming out of Agatha’s body, which were her last line of defense, and then blasting through them by unleashing cracking black lightning everywhere.

CRAAAASH!

The insects, fried alive, fell down to the ground by the dozens, as Maria reached the aberrant vampire’s flesh at long last, with the sword at hand, she drilled through her flesh by enhancing her speed and strength through a transformation. She had already showcased the true power of Gorgon Transformation, but there was another new Skill she had acquired, one she was saving for such an occasion, [Abyssal Demon Transformation]!

POOF!

In mere seconds, Maria’s entire body shapeshifted even more monstrously, as she gained the size of a ten-meter-tall giantess. Her entire body was covered by black exoskeleton and she gained a gigantic bug-like pair of wings, alongside two more pairs of arms, all clad in exoskeleton armor! Her face was also covered by this armor, as she had two new and enormous compound eyes on top of her head, giving her an incredible vision enhancement.

She had literally turned into a gigantic human-like bug, of monstrous and aberrant proportions that could easily compare to Agatha herself if it wasn’t because she beat Maria by almost thirty meters.

CLASH!

Maria’s sword pierced through Agatha’s flesh, reaching deep into her hard muscles. Black blood began spraying out constantly, Maria knew she wouldn’t be able to slash through this enormous amount of muscles and flesh, not at all, her true purpose was another! She infused her very soul into her sword as the aura coating the weapon pierced through the flesh, reaching deep into the nucleus of the gigantic monster.

FLASH!

“Ungh?!”

Agatha couldn’t help but respond in surprise, feeling something slowly sneaking inside of her prompted her to fight back against Maria, but because she was being overwhelmed by the other three, she had no such privilege. Maria’s intent continued reaching deep, as this slightly reminded her of the time she did the same thing against the Dungeon Core. It only took a few seconds for her to reach the Crystal Core of Agatha’s body, but it felt like an eternity of diving into flesh constantly.

“T-There!”

Maria grabbed the crystal with her hands, quickly attempting to possess it, and attempting to shatter it with her sheer strength… However, it seemed impossible, the crystal was incredibly hard, as if the very soul of Agatha was keeping it from shattering! Well, she had already guessed something like this might happen. Maria infused her soul into Agatha’s core and quickly used [Mind Bending] on her!

FLASH!

“AGH…!”

Agatha suddenly felt strangely confused and agitated! Her mind was in shambles, and she was losing all control and reason, even her senses were feeling completely out of the norm. She was feeling sickly, lost, and completely despaired. Using this opportunity where Agatha was going insane, Maria grasped her soul and began pulling it out of her body with all the strength she could muster!

“Uunnngghh…! LUCIFER!” Maria cried, asking for help. As Lucifer quickly stopped attacking Agatha and flew towards Maria’s side like a jet, quickly summoning a gigantic scythe!

“NOW!” The Dragon roared, as he and Maria worked together as hard as possible, slowly pulling out the annoyingly stubborn soul of Agatha!

“AAAAAGGGRRRHHHH…!”

Agatha groaned in agony as she felt her very soul getting pulled out of her body, quite literally!

Until…!

FLASH!

Her wiggling soul suddenly lost all connections to her body and was captured by Maria!

“No! Stop it…! get me back to my body! You can’t…!”

What greeted Agatha’s sight was not something pretty, but enormous abyssal maws that made up the interior of Maria’s phantasmal soul, quickly devouring and tearing her soul to shreds!
