(Planta's POV)
Just as we were going to be eliminated by the Demon King of Miasma, Florie and everyone else arrived! Rita used her powerful magic to completely swallow one of his powerful attacks, something I never thought could be possible at all, while Florie suddenly emerged completely changed. She was now way taller, almost as tall as my daughter, if not slightly shorter than her.
And within her chest, there was a beautiful, pink-colored butterfly-shaped tattoo glowing with pink light and spiritual power within it! It was very surprising, but it seems she had evolved into something similar to the Race of the Fairy Queen Titania named Fairy Princess. They didn't went into details, but I do remember Titania saying a few times that Florie was special and that she was "meant to do something" in the future.
I never really asked her what she meant back then… But now I can tell. If there's a Fairy Queen, I guess there can also be a Fairy Princess! Or so I think. But for now, this is good, her buffs are more than I expected!
Ding!
[You've received the [Divine Protection of the Fairy Princess]!]
[All Stats have increased by +50%, HP, MP, and Satiation Automatic Regeneration Speed has been enhanced by x10 and Skills and Magic Effects are enhanced by +50% for 10 Minutes!]
It's an amazing buff, and it lasts for so long as well! If I stack this with all my other Skills and Spells that grants buffs, alongside 20% of all my Title Bonuses, my stats are completely in another level!
The best part is that this buff is taken into consideration once all other buffs are, so it enhances everything also based in the stat increases granted by all other buffs, making the buff even better.
Titania can't be present here right now, but Florie herself is doing her job just as well!
And as all of this was happening, the Demon King's golden eye glanced at us with utter frustration clear on his small, spherical appearance, his tentacles were wriggling with anger!
"YOUUUUU…! My Miasma…! What have you done to my Miasma…! This damn forest, it reeks of life and nature! GRAAAAH!"
The Demon King of Miasma's Soul grew furious, as he decided to attack Planta and company once more. This time, however, things might end up being different. Thanks to my Terrain Abilities, the Ents, and then Florie, we've finally purified the forest almost completely. We are the ones in the higher grounds now.
"Die! All of you pesky little flies, why don't you die for once?!"
The Demon King roared furiously; his tentacles suddenly stopped opening portals as he directed them at us. Each of his ten tentacles opened a single golden eye, unleashing rays of darkness against us, which was actually chaos, an element that was the same as miasma, capable of disrupting and corrupting life and other elements, very deadly!
"I won't let you have your way! Crystal Magic: [Holy Crystal Hammer]!"
Lily suddenly jumped off Huginn as she swung her hammer, which had now grown into an enormous and beautiful hammer made of golden and white crystals! She swung it rapidly, each blow released rays of light that intercepted the chaos beams of the Demon King!
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
Thanks to the buffs I had conjured beforehand and also those of Florie, her strength and power had risen to utterly superb levels, she alone took on his beams!
"GGGRRRHH…! [Voidspace Distortion]! [Chaos Eyes]!"
The Demon King continued his barrage of attacks as we flew across the skies towards his True Body that was having a really bad time. The first spell provoked a distortion on space around us, as invisible waves of space-attribute essence flew towards us, attempting to crush us. Meanwhile, his Chaos Eyes summoned dozens of black eyes around him, which flew towards us and began to explode.
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
"There comes the distortion, dodge!" I called everyone, as I stretched enormous vines out of my body, courtesy of Loki's powers, and then grabbed everyone, pulling them up while Titan unleashed an explosive eruption of flames from his wings, lifting us higher into the skies.
FLUOOOOSH!
TRUUUUMM…!
CRACK!
Space itself seemed to have cracked right where we had flew away from, but the space itself quickly recovered to its original state. It seemed that the world naturally healed "wounds" within space, but that also meant that the very portals the Demon King was making were also wounds he was forcefully opening.
Could it be that he's struggling to keep the Portals open due to the Gods helping as well? After all they're the "Administrators" of this entire World. Perhaps they cannot come down here by themselves or something, but they can certainly try to exert their power to close the portals!
"Nnnngggh…! You damn pests…! And these damned gods, you dare attempt to close my Gates?! YOUUU…! STOP… NNGGH…!"
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!
Suddenly, several portals he was trying to maintain open closed at the same time, slicing through his tentacles on the spot and making his True Body groan in agony, roaring furiously atop the skies of the Forest of Beginnings.
"GRUOOOOOOHHHH…!"
"The Gods are doing it! They're probably trying to close the portals as fast as they can!" I said in surprise. "We have to quickly get to the Demon King's true body! Titan hurry!"
I touched his back, quickly invoking even more Spirits that were growing from the forest and used Spirit Fusion and Spirit Infusion into his body, merging them completely into his body and enhancing his spiritual power!
FLUOOOSH!
"Alright…!"
FLAAAAAASH!
He flapped his wooden blazing wings, reaching the high skies all while we kept shooting magic attacks against the Demon King from afar, just to distract him as his barrier was keeping him completely intact from any damage.
"Your struggles are useless! Stop struggling! Give up to despair! You've tried to defeat me time and time again, but what has that led you to? More suffering, more despair… You cannot defeat me…"
"[Primordial Chaos]!!!"
TRUUUUMMMM…!
