The impact alone sent down a shockwave of miasma that pierced through my barrier, shattering it in a single second as the miasma viciously attempted to infect my body!
"Ugh…! {Spirit Purification}! {Yggdragon's Flames}!"
I combined both spells at the same time, imbuing them into my body and beginning to quickly purify myself again. The terrain was constantly in a battle against the miasmic terrain, so my stat buffs and regeneration enhancements weren't there at all times.
And that's without taking into consideration that it was night, and there was no strong sunlight to help me photosynthesize and gain more stats easily. I have to rely on all my Skills and use them smartly!
"{Sunlight Spirit Call}!"
I hit the ground with my sword, now turned into a staff again, as a powerful wave of spiritual energy reached the depths of the underground, connecting to the many Dragon Veins surrounding us.
As the beast started running towards me, dozens of Sunlight Spirits materialized, surrounding my entire body, and absorbing my Mana and Spiritual Energies!
There were the small ones, the larger ones, and the biggest of them all, which were named Novas, overflowing with sunlight power!
The sunlight naturally feed off my body, increasing my stats and giving me an augmented regeneration of health and mana, good enough for my magic to become even stronger as a result.
"{Draconic Flare Explosion}!"
My entire body absorbed a few of the Sunlight Spirits as opened my jaws, gathering flames and sunlight energy and unleashing them into a devastating Yggdragon's Breath combined with the Flare Explosion Spell!
Both Golden Flames and Spirit Flames of Sunlight and Inferno combined together as one, generating a spiraling mass of flames, a gigantic beam that clashed against the Aberration of enormous size!
The beast shrieked in agony, suddenly, a third of its body completely disappeared, the rest of its body swiftly beginning to regenerate back as it grew countless more arms to catch me, swinging their sharp claws towards me, as if they were a dozen sharp knives.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CRAAASH!
I evaded the attacks and blocked them using my two weapons at once! I combined the powers of the Sunlight Spirits once more, now imbued into Gram and the Gaia's All-Purpose-Tool!
Gram suddenly gained a temporary change, transforming into a deep red weapon, with blazing decorations and several red jewels, overflowing with bright red flames.
Meanwhile, Gaia's All-Purpose-Tool turned into a giant blazing spear, which I quickly launched towards the Aberrant Miasmic Beast, piercing its chest with it!
The flames erupted from the blazing spear, instantly setting ablaze the entire body of the beast. Without giving it much thought, I jumped into the air and flew using my fake fairy wings, harnessing my energies into Gram, and then unleashing yet another powerful strike!
I swung Gram with all my strength, an enormous eruption of light emerged from that very attack, consuming the entire body of the Aberration, and beginning to turn it into ashes, the ashes turned into nothingness, the monster now reduced into a tenth of what it was!
"{Yggdragon's Blazing Claws}!"
One of my arms shapeshifted into a gigantic draconic arm, with huge claws and covered on golden scales, as I used them to slash and pierce through the small aberration, reducing it into nothing!
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
"These damn things are so tough to kill, they keep coming back…" I sighed in relief, as the Cultist's sharp red eyes were locked on me.
"I guess there's no helping it…" He sighed, suddenly jumping towards me. "I wanted to get rid of all of you without having to waste too much energy… I have to admit that such a thought was naïve. You're strong!"
At the same time as he confronted me, the Miasmic Aberrations started to change, their forms taking a more beastly appearance, and growing in numbers, constantly overwhelming my friends!
They had not been able to help as much before because they had all their hands full fighting these monsters.
"Dammit, they keep multiplying!"
Acorn complained, as he had undergone his Divine Beast transformation, having turned into his Beast Form, and crushing against dozens of Miasmic Beasts at once, that kept climbing over his body without end.
Brisingra appeared by his side, her magical powers awakening through the ability of the ring her mother left behind, as the powerful Magical Barrier that protected the Dwarven Kingdom was summoned around her, shaped into several hands, and clashing against the aberrations.
"No matter how many we destroy, they keep appearing…!"
Nieve continued freezing and slashing through her opponents, often the weakened ones that Acorn and Brisingra left behind, her rapier techniques had become much better lately, combined with her amazingly strong magical powers made her pillar for our team's survival.
"Ugh, if only these things stopped getting in our way!"
Mark, Rita, and Lily were slowly making their way to my side, albeit by being constantly flooded by dozens of Aberrations of all shapes and sizes, that was becoming an increasingly difficult task.
"Do you think I'll let you get closer?! She and the man she's protecting are my prey." The Cultist laughed, manipulating the miasma he produced and encompassing us in an even smaller domain!
"Dammit!" Mark roared, hitting the barrier with his enormous fists, constantly trying to get through.
"The bastard's trying to take on her alone?!" Rita complained, spears of darkness constantly piercing the barrier.
"It's not budging!" Lily cried; her hammer was constantly hitting the barrier with all her strength.
"Who are you and what is your goal?!" I asked, imbuing Mana and Spiritual Energies into my weapons and armor. "Why would you ever want to kill Ambil? He hasn't done anything wrong to anybody!"
"Indeed…" The Cultist laughed, revealing to me his strange, monstrous arms again, as sharp claws grew from their fingers, overflowing with phantasmal and miasmic energies. "But he is someone we need… Even if death, that'll suffice."
"Those powers… I can assume you're a Cultist of the Demon King of Miasma, right? But then what with the Nether?" I asked once more, the man gave me a single glance, and then smiled.
"We no longer serve anybody…" He laughed, leaping towards me.
