“We did it!” Said Lucifer, sighing in relief, all actions by Agatha quickly ceased completely.
“Yeah, it’s done!” Maria sighed in relief, quickly noticing a new notification for EXP.
Although Maria and company managed to defeat Agatha, however, there was now another problem! Maria and Lucifer opened their eyes wide as they noticed the unstable quantities of miasmic energies inside of the body of Agatha beginning to make her floating body tremble. At the same time, without a soul to maintain this entire thing alive, the gigantic meatball began to fall into the ground!
The enormous corpse of the now gone Vampiress started to flash with black energies, they were all unstable. The leftover energy of the Demonite core was going crazy, in simple terms. And her body might explode at any time, if this thing were to explode and also fall into the fiefdom, it would be like a nuke, easily wiping out the entire place, with all the people included.
“What do we do?! It’s gonna explode!” Maria cried.
“We have to bring it to the sky, as high as we can!” Lucifer roared.
“Can you even carry this thing!?” Emeraldine cried.
“We have to try it out, there’s no helping it!” Said Partner.
Maria quickly realized there was another muscle head she could rely on back at home. As she quickly decided to summon her right away!
Suddenly, a magic flash emerged before Maria, as a muscular and tomboyish red-haired vampire zombie girl emerged right in front of everybody’s eyes, it was Catarina!
“Catarina! Please help us!” Maria cried.
“Eh? EEEH?! W-What is that giant meatball?!” Asked Catarina, who was actually cutting wood back in the village, and even was still holding the axe she was using.
“Just help us! We’ll explain later!” Partner said.
“F-Fine! Alright!” Catarina was able to easily fly in midair through her own [Levitate] Skill, and Maria knew that this muscle head Vampire could help in terms of carrying impossible weights because she was the one that singlehandedly changed the entire landscape where the fight against the priests and the mercenary happened with her kicks and punches. If it was about raw strength, she was the best at that!
The enormous carcass of Agatha was slowly falling down, slowly losing its natural ability to levitate. Maria and the rest quickly flew below the gigantic meatball, lifting it up with all the power they had. Emeraldine had almost no strength but still wanted to help. Partner was putting a decent help, but the most help was coming from Lucifer and Catarina, as both were probably sharing around 80% of the entire thing’s weight! Maria was also strong, and she began to spread out her entire body into a giant swarm of flies to lift up the thing with everything she could.
“Unnngh…! Push more…!” Cried Maria.
“Come on…!” Roared Partner.
“T-This is impossible!!!” Emeraldine began to quickly despair.
“No…! Not yet!!!” Lucifer roared, suddenly absorbing more of Maria’s Mana with their already established Mana Share Bond that Maria had created before to feed him Mana to fight against Agatha’s attacks, strengthening his entire body’s muscles, tripling his entire size!
“RAAAAHH! MOVE! MOVE THE SHIT UP!” Catarina roared. She was never the best with words, and as she received the Mana from Maria, she used it to enhance her undead body to new levels, unleashing a furious barrage of punches against the enormous carcass, as Lucifer pushed upwards like a meteor!
Together, the two pushed the entire thing upwards, leaving the other three behind, as Lucifer and Catarina roared furiously like true barbarians!
With a single combined hit, the two threw the gigantic ball of meat all the way up into the sky, at least two kilometers! And while it was moving upwards, the darkness within the gigantic carcass reached its limits, quickly detonating into a loud explosion!
The explosion shook the skies and made all the people below felt as if the sky itself was tearing apart. However, right after the explosion, an enormous quantity of flesh and miasma began to be poured down into the entire fiefdom!
“Leave this to me! Now that they’re all little chunks, it’s not so hard!!!” Maria roared, quickly self-dividing herself almost endlessly, becoming a gigantic cloud of phantasmal flies that protected the entirety of the fiefdom, devouring the flesh falling from the sky and absorbing all the miasma!
After what seemed like an eternity, things finally calmed. The sun slowly began rising from the horizon, and the black clouds atop the sky were fully dissipating. The bright and warm light of the sun permeated the city, revealing how disastrous the entire city ended as.
The ghoulish people suddenly turned back to humans when the bright sun covered their bodies, the death of the catalyst of their transformation, Agatha, was enough to destroy the curse put upon them. Of course, they were going to be left with several sequelae, but that was inevitable.
“Hah~ The warm sun… I never thought it would feel so nice.” Sighed Maria, sitting over the grass surrounding the ruined house of Julia, her entire party was half-dead over the grass, Catarina included. They had given their absolute everything and needed a well-deserved rest.
“I don’t want to do any more of these things for at least a year…” Sighed Emeraldine.
“I need… vacations.” Sighed Partner.
“Hah… I am still having a hard time believing we somehow managed to pull that out. I never thought I could achieve so much strength.” Lucifer said, looking at his own hands.
“It was all thanks to me…” Said Catarina, accrediting herself for what Lucifer had also helped at.
“What?! I also helped!” Lucifer complained.
“Agh! You two, don’t fight…” Said Maria.
“The sun is sure pretty this morning…” Emeraldine said with a relaxed smile, resting over Maria’s thighs.
“Yeah… I guess it was worth it, huh?” Maria sighed with a tired expression in her face.
As the group slowly looked into the horizon, the voice of a little duchess resonated from the distance.
It was Julia and her two half-elf maids, alongiside a large group of people.
