Chapter 685: Baiting The Enemy

-----

"Tear's case was Unique…" I sighed. "I still can't say for sure but…" I noticed how Tear, Takeshi, and Laura were giving me puppy eyes.

"Ugh! Fine, I'll do my best to save him but no promises, okay? I can't guarantee that things will always go well!" I sighed. "We've… already lost so many good people. I just… Don't know sometimes."

"Maria…" Lucifer held my hand. "You're not alone on this, you've got all of us as well."

"That's right!" Partner held my other hand and then hugged me and gave me kisses in my cheek. "You've got us all the way!"

"I think my magic could work on purifying the forest alongside Emeraldine's magic… Maybe it could help on freeing the boy from whatever it could be controlling him. Let's not lose hope, even if there's a bit of it, we have to be cheerful and look into the future with decisiveness." Jonathan spoke like a true hero.

Everyone's words inspired me a bit, filling my already wounded and saddened heart. I guess they were right… As long as we are together, it might work… there might be hope.

"Okay." I nodded. "I get it. Let's work together… And do our best. And let's hope doing our best is enough…" 

I glanced at the distance, the huge tree that Emeraldine told me was once a beautiful Lesser Yggdrasil Tree, now all dried out, darkened, and resembling a huge monster.

I wonder if the boy is still there. It could be that he holds the Evil God Fragment, as I can sense that fragment's presence through Tyr's senses inside of the tree.

"I'm back." Emeraldine walked downstairs, looking like she had just cried a lot and was cleaning her tears.

"Emeraldine." I quickly hugged her tightly. "How was it?"

"I told him everything…" She sighed. "Uncle was really sad; he cried a lot with me… We hugged, and then he told me that… No matter what, he still loved me. And that… it was thanks to my own strength that I've come this far. That I was able to overcome such traumas and trials… And that even after everything, I would still make mother proud."

"He's a good man." I smiled. "And did you told him about… our relationship?"

"Yep." She nodded. "He was really happy! He kind of always knew I was into girls…" She blushed a bit. "He said he was happy that you were my girlfriend because… He found within you a really kind and beautiful heart."

"Geez, that man really knows how to say the most corniest of things!" I felt embarrassed. "A-Anyways, I'm glad for that! Now, let's go! We've got a whole forest to save!"

"Yeah!" Emeraldine nodded. "Everyone… I'll be counting on your help…"

"Of course, you've been helping us since we meet you, with your magic and kindness, many people in our village were made happier thanks to you, Emeraldine." Said Lucifer. "It is time for us to repay back for all the things you've done for us."

"Lucifer…" Emeraldine was about to cry. 

"Yeah, I think the same!" Partner nodded. "You're my bestie, so I would do anything for you, Emeraldine! Count on me for anything!"

"Partner!" Emeraldine hugged her.

"Count on us as well auntie!" Nyx said. "I can turn into big dragon sometimes, so I will help with my powa!"

"Me too, we've grown this way thanks to your kindness." Laura smiled. "You were the one that tended to our weakened and tired bodies, and even healed us many times."

"We love you auntie Emeraldine!" Said Takeshi.

"Hehehe, you are all so adorable, thank you." Emeraldine hugged all three of them.

"I might had arrived just recently but… You're an amazing woman, Emeraldine. Your kindness and heart is befitting of a Saint." Said Jonathan. "And as Maria's beloved one, I would do anything for you."

"Jonathan, thank you." Emeraldine smiled gently.

"M-Me too! I'll help!" Said Tear. "I-I have to repay you all for all the things I made you go through…"

"Tear, I'll be counting on your amazing magic." Emeraldine said.

"Y-Yeah!" Tear nodded confidently. "When it comes to freezing stuff, leave it to me!"

Emeraldine cheered up a lot from our conversations, as she nodded, with decisiveness, as we glanced into the big tree.

We walked into the forest once more, as we had already made up a plan. First of all, we needed to kill as many monsters within the forest as possible.

This way, we take down all the threats that could possibly threaten the life of the villagers out there.

And if the monsters continue multiplying so fast, the forest will only continue to get infested. Also, if we take them down quickly, not many will get in our way once we go to the big tree.

For that reason, Lucifer offered himself as the one to bring all the attention, as we stood up near the center of the forest, where I could detect the most monsters underground.

"I can detect roughly three powerful forces protecting the big tree, they might be like Boss-type monsters. Meanwhile, each boss-type monster is being protected by over a thousand small fries that keep slowly multiplying." I explained what I sensed using my powerful Phantasmal Senses. "And where we are right now… one of the bosses is near. If we can bring the attention of all the mobs, the boss, and also the mobs of the other two bosses. Those bosses will be left unguarded, so we can take them down easily once we deal with the wave of small fries. And for that reason… Lucifer!"

"On it! RAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!"

Lucifer roared with all his might, so loudly and mighty that enormous shockwaves emerged out of his voice alone. The ground around us trembled, as we I quickly sensed the presences of hundreds of beings coming from the ground… Alongside a huge, stronger presence as well.

TRUUUUUUMMMM…!

"GRUOOOOHHHHHHH…!"

A huge, gigantic mass of countless mushrooms stuck together emerged, as big as Lucifer himself! And with it came over a thousand Walking Mushrooms from the ground!

"Look!" Suddenly, Takeshi pointed to the west, as we noticed a huge army of walking dark trees, Dark Treants, rushing in. They were led by a huge one too!

"Over there!" Laura pointed to the east, over a thousand golems made of black stones, and Demonite, led by a huge behemoth of a golem also showed up.

Looks like the bait worked even better than we thought originally!

Ding!

[The mighty roar of the Death Dragon King has brought upon the attention of the [Great Three Dark Spirit Forest Rulers] and their mighty armies of over a thousand each!]

[The [Giant Miasmic Mushroom Chimera King: Lv100 (A+++ Rank)] has emerged from his underground domain!]

[The [Abyssal Dark Treant King: Lv100 (A+++ Rank)] has come from his domain of dead trees!]

[The [Titanic Demonite Golem: Lv100 (A+++ Rank)] has arrived from his underground domain of Demonite caves!]

[All powerful [Great Three Dark Spirit Forest Rulers] seem furious over your insolent provocation and have decided to crush your entire army for good!]

"Nice! The bait worked wonderfully!" I laughed. "Alright everyone! Let's get rid of them all at once! Come out, my army of Undead!"

I spread out my Shadows, as I summoned over two thousand Undead Frost Monsters for battle, which I've been saving and leveling up ever since I got them… Naturally, there were also all the Miasmic Giant Mushroom Aberrations we killed.
