An utterly terrifying scene emerged before our eyes as a gigantic snake suddenly broke through the barrier that had been set up by the Queen of Fairies herself, Titania! Is this because Titania is weakened now? Also that thing is Level 25! Isn't that a bit higher than my current Level?!
And now because I cannot level up right now, I cannot grow stronger than I am currently… Do I have to go through this challenge with my current level? W-Well, I had already surpassed challenges of several levels over me, so this shouldn't be all that bad! But still, it was shocking!
The barrier broke as an enormous hole within it emerged, a swarm of hundreds of snakes, the smallest being two meters large began sliding their way inside the entire city. The fairies fighting outside were being overwhelmed by even more snakes. Although they had defeated many with their magic, the army of snakes quickly gained the upper hand when their Boss showed up.
Although there were some soldiers and knight in here, who were surprised about our arrival, they immediately lost all focus on us as the gargantuan snake made its way inside the city, putting its gigantic head though the hole it made in the barrier and beginning to force its way inside. It was way too chunky, so as it forced its way through the barrier, the barrier cracked even more.
"T-That thing… It is way too big!!!"
"Quickly bring the Golems, awaken them all! Infuse Mana into them, bring the pilots, QUICKLY!"
"FLY AS FAST AS YOU CAN, BRING MORE REINFORCEMENTS!"
"Protect the citizens! Lead them to the underground so they can be safe while the battle ensues!"
"Call the Queen, tell her to reinforce the barrier! Where is Queen Titania?!"
"She is currently in her throne room overseeing things!"
"Damn it, now that she was also cursed by this disease, she cannot defend us properly…!"
The fairies were all despairing, even more as dozens of smaller snakes made their way into the city. The citizens began to cry desperately flying away from the chaos, the vicious snakes began firing slimy venom from their mouths, beginning to melt the buildings and even kill the various insects the fairies used as their tamed monsters for transport.
"Holy shit this is a full-scale war right now! P-Planta! I am a bit scared right now!" Rita cried, as she hid behind me.
I don't remember her being this much of a chicken, but I would be lying if I said I wasn't scared. Despite being a game, the whole atmosphere of despair and imminent destruction was way too realistic, looming over our heads was a titanic beast… Can we even defeat this thing?!
I really thought the Snake Queen was going to be a small part-time boss, but if she's commanding a thing such as this one as her lackey, I cannot even imagine how big and monstrous she is!
The power difference between her and the other two Monster Kings I slain was completely in another level! How come her and her lackeys are so many?! And where did they even came from? I've been playing for a while and I only saw a few snakes here and there… Perhaps they had been simply hiding until a big attack like now? The Snake Queen is quite smart then.
Perhaps she was one of the first of the three to revive, and instead of going rampage, she began to gather forces all this time, maybe? I don't know the lore behind it but that makes some sense to me.
"To tell you the truth I am scared as hell too! B-But there's nothing we can do other than fight! Let's show the fairies that we are Immortals too, if we die, we'll revive anyways and come back to fight again! The Quest doesn't have any penalties over death, so let's do this!" I said.
"S-Shit…! Okay, okay! I am going to have a god damn heart attack right now. I thought we were just going to chill out in this game but this already looks like a Lord of the Rings Movie!" Cried Rita.
The massive army of snakes continued to pour from the barriers, having the ability to slide through the barrier from the inside with ease and without even being affected, they were merging their venomous powers with miasma masterfully and using it as a way to stick themselves in solid areas and easily climb through them, these snakes were very sneaky.
We quickly ran into the frontlines, deciding to protect the city while the civilians were flying away, the first thing we found was a large group of over 20 Knights and Soldiers battling it out against over thirty snakes, the smallest was three meters big and there were several of different shapes and sizes to boot!
Some of them were enormous and covered in venomous spikes, others were smaller and sneaky, with sharp stingers in the tip of their tails to impale their foes, another ones were red-scaled and had flames atop their heads, unleashing explosive venomous slime from their mouths that exploded after making contact with a solid object, and even some snakes had dragon-like wings and were flying around!
Uwah, this is a bit too much for me, but they were all below Level 20, so we can handle it. This is also the perfect timing for Rita to level up all the way to 20, so let's use this opportunity to level her up too. Oh right, and also all my pets and summons, of course.
Yeah… I-If I see them as mere EXP, they're not so scary anymore! As the fairies struggled, we reached up to them and immediately began to unleash our explosive wide-range attacks.
"Wind Spirit Call, Whirlwind!"
Rita unleashed a powerful beam of darkness with the gathered Malice she had saved, blasting away dozens of snakes in a single second, and unleashing a bombastic explosion in the middle of their army! Meanwhile, I summoned several Wind Spirits can unleashed slicing spiraling whirlwinds, directing them to the middle of the snake army, slicing them all into pieces!
There were way too many targets, we were going all out!
