His arms shapeshifted, growing much larger and monstrous. It felt as if his very arms were made of the same substance as the Miasmic Aberrations! Is this why the System described him as a "Chimera", just has the cult been doing since the Demon King of Miasma's death?!
CLAAAASSSH!!!
His single attack sent another shockwave of miasma, I gritted my teeth, feeling the pain pulsate through my body. I quickly touched my chest and purified my body once more, as I swung both of my weapons at him, releasing a cross-shaped wave of divine flames.
SLAAAASSSHH!!!
"Hmph!"
However, he didn't even tried to evade it, simply gathering miasmic and nether into his hands, and generating a huge sphere of miasma and phantasmal flames.
"[Abyssal Phantom Flames]!"
BOOOOMMM!!!
The two flames clashed against one another, a huge explosion covered our surroundings, as we were forced to step back, only for my senses to activate in that very last second. His presence suddenly appearing right behind me!
"[Yggdragon's Breath]!"
I opened my jaws and unleashed a blast of golden flames right into his face, which he tanked, taking the blast head on, and then kicking me in the chest, piercing through my wooden armor and pushing me away!
CLAAASH!
A Level 250 foe is no joke, even if it might be one that has been artificially transformed to be of this high level, even his simple kicks packed a terrifying power within them.
"RAAAH!"
He quickly extended one of his arms into several meters, which divided itself into dozens of tentacles wrapping around my entire body, at the same time as phantasmal chains started to wrap on my weapons, trying to absorb their energies.
"Ugh…! Argh…!"
It felt as if my entire body was being constantly sapped from all its energies. It was the exact same feeling I had when I fought the Demon King of Miasma!
If not even worse, somehow… Because I was so far away from my forest, my stats were much lower, my reflexes and speed was also subpar compared to a Level 250 threat on my own.
But even if my friends couldn't come to my aid, I wasn't alone.
"You're rather pathetic when alone, huh? Can't even fight for your own life?" He started to mock me. "I thought you would be much more, but the powers I've acquired from our great Cult Leader seem to be enough to get rid of you!"
"Alone?" I asked, a smile surging in my lips. "I'm never alone…"
FLAAAAASSSH!!!
My body erupted with tremendous quantities of spiritual energies, as the terrains I had conjured beforehand, which were getting overwhelmed, quickly began to regrow anew, the powers of the Great Spirit activating in this very last moment.
But not only that!
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
Several Spirits of Light emerged out of the Dragon Veins, one after another, as I manipulated their elemental forces to conjure a powerful Spell I had come out with back on Earth!
Several Runes arranged in front of me, the Cultist instantly shocked to see such a complex thing, something that someone so used to the System could not easily comprehend.
Yeah, even if my Avatar is not exactly my body real body, it has a connection with it, which I can harness to conjure spells through the Magic Circle I've forged over there.
Meaning that the strength I've gained back on Earth is also mine in Arcadia!
"[Exorcizing Heavenly Purifying Light]!"
"W-What…?!"
FLAAAAASSSSSHHH!!!
My entire body erupted with an even brighter light than before, the hand and tentacles made of miasma attached to the Cultist's body instantly burned into ashes before my light, the chains absorbing my energies dying off right on the spot!
"AARGGHH…!"
The man screamed in agony as the light burned his body, his black cloak flying away as his strange body was revealed, he resembled a total Frankenstein, assembled by patching up together countless body parts! And on his chest, a glowing black crystal seemed to be the origin of his powers.
As the light continued unleashing its might, I quickly rushed towards him, with both Gram and Gaia's All-Purpose-Tool on my hands, I combined them with my roots, branches, scales, and the Sunlight and Light Spirits together!
"[Spirit Fusion]!"
FLUOOOSH!
Ding!
[You've temporarily fused several Sunlight and Light Spirits together with your Spirit Wood, Yggdragon's Scales, Yggdragon's Divine Flames into [Radiant Divine Spiritual Heroic Sword: Gram Freyja] and [Gaia's All-Purpose-Tool]!]
[You've temporarily created the [Divine Heroic Spirit Sword of Heavenly Dragon Flames: Caliburn]!]
[The [Radiance of Caliburn] encompasses your body! All of your Light, Fire, and Sword type Attacks Power have increased by +200%!]
[Duration: 5 Minutes.]
An enormous longsword was created, shining radiantly with blinding light and holy white flames. I had neve tried fusing Gram with Spirits and other materials before, so this was surprisingly incredible to see! It had so much potential!
"W-What is that weapon?!" Roared the Cultist. "YOU DAMN…!"
His entire body started to convulse, his arms grew even larger than before, and so did his torso, legs, and head, so large that it broke apart his mask, revealing a reptilian-like head, resembling the head of a wyvern or a lizard.
"I'LL SHOW YOU MY TRUE STRENGTH!"
Ding!
[The [Corrupted Miasmic Cultist Chimera: ???: Lv250] has fully unsealed his body's true power!]
[Miasma and Nether are beginning to flow rapidly across his physique, his entire body has undergone an [Awakening], all his Stats have further increased by +100%!]
[An [Aura of Abyssal Miasmic Nether] is spreading everywhere, devouring any Nature or Life it can find!]
[Your Terrain is slowly being devoured away! Your Buffs are slowly starting to weaken!]
"Hahaha… I know that your powers depend in those pitiful plants!" He laughed. "So I'll crush them all!"
He raised his foot and crushed several flowers, making them wither and turn into ashes before his phantasmal miasmic flames covering his entire body.
"I doubt it'll make a difference!"
I ran towards him without hesitation, shapeshifting my own body as well as I grew several gigantic arms from my back, resembling draconic arms and another dragon head on my chest, firing a draconic breath while pummeling with countless dragon claw attacks, all while I swung Caliburn, releasing dozens of slashing attacks over his entire body!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLAASH! CRAAASH!
