As we were fighting the Viper Drakes, we sensed the presence of something even larger approaching. With a huge bulk and a powerful, dreadful presence. It resembled a huge shadow in the distance, and as it slowly made its way towards us, its two red eyes glowed brightly.

“SHAAAAAAHHH!!!”

Ding!

[The [Venomous Viper Drake Queen: Lv120] has spotted you and seen you as invaders of her nest!]

[She’s slowly approaching you, be careful!]

“Looks like there’s a boss on the way!” Rita laughed. “Let’s quickly clean the small fries before she gets here!”

FLUOOOSH!

Her darkness magic flowed around her body and then gathered within the top of her head, in a sphere of pure obscurity, the malice overflowing from these monsters feed her magic really well.

“[Dark Void]!”

FLAAAAASH!

A gigantic void of darkness emerged right in front of Rita, beginning to drag the viper drakes towards there and constantly inflicting damage to them, like a mini black hole, it was trying to absorb them and tear them down to pieces.

“Now… [Abyssal Shadow Spears]!”

Waving her hands and her staff, Rita summoned hundreds of spears made out of materialized darkness and shadows, firing them at the viper drakes trapped within the dark void.

CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!

“[Shadow Detonation]!”

And right after that, countless explosions covered the battlefield, annihilating four vipers in a single second!

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOOMMM!!!

It was an amazing combo that Rita’s magic was capable of, Darkness Magic was one of the strongest offensively speaking magics, with very little capable of resisting it and with high damage percentages as well.

And with Rita’s Class and Race going so well together, she was able to constantly conjure deadly nukes of magic one after the other. The best part was how her magic spells allowed for “chain spells” where one spell could come right after the other without casting time to generate explosive damage combos.

Seeing this, it made me wish we could have such advanced magic back on Earth… but well, most enemies there aren’t as deadly and overpowered as the ones in Arcadia, for now.

“Gotcha!” Jenny smiled. “You guys might be resistant to poison or even immune to it, but what about melting acid?!”

Jenny started bouncing around the battlefield, evading the bites of the Viper Drakes and the rock magic projectiles of the Cave Drakes with ease, and then, while they were distracted trying to catch up to her amazing speed and evasion capabilities, she gathered Mana into her entire body and fired large watermelon-sized spheres of green acid rapidly, like a gatling gun all over the lesser dragons!

SPLASH! SPLASH! SPLASH! SPLASH! SPLASH!

FRSSSSSHHHH!!!

At first the looked confused when they were covered in some sort of slimy acid, but the acid instantly started to burn their skin and melt their scales, weakening them severely. Some were hit in deadly areas and died on the spot, but most of them remained alive, but horribly hurt.

“Geez, that’s not a pretty look.” Jenny sighed. “Let me just end your suffering for a bit! [Poison Spikes]!”

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

Purple poison spread around the Drakes and started piercing their bodies, even while being mostly immune to being poisoned, these spikes were solid, almost metal-like spikes, once they were all pierced, their bodies instantly fell one after the other, turning into particles of light.

“I’ll take care of this area…!” Nieve said, flying around dexterously with her wings, while leaving trails of ice around magically. She swung her thing, magic rapier against the powerful Viper Drakes and some Cave Drakes that had arrived.

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLAAASH!

With rapid strikes and slashes, the monsters were covered in freezing wounds, which slowed them down severely, right after that, Nive swiftly unleashed several spikes of ice without even conjuring them and pierced their bodies with them.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CRAAASH!

“GRYYYEEHHH…”

The Viper Drakes fell one after another, Nieve’s small size made them underestimate her, despite her being a rather mighty magic knight capable of keeping up with all of us, and stand out.

Meanwhile, near Nieve, Acorn was fighting physically as well. After taking a small sip of his special potion again, he gained a Beastly form, with sharp claws, fangs, and a bigger body, which he used to swiftly attack the Drakes.

CRAASH! CRAASH! SLAAASH!

With sharp claws he slashed their scales, and with his giant rodent fang he pierced through their flesh, savagely tearing them down with berserk-like fury. Vipers were frailer than Cave Drakes, but they came in dozens of numbers.

I also saw Mark and Lily working together as our tanks, keeping the majority of the monsters away so we wouldn’t get overwhelmed, while Belle and Mimy supported me and protected me at all times… Maybe in the past I would had been glad by this, but I’ve grown to like fighting head-on a bit myself.

I grabbed the [Gaia’s All-Purpose Tool], which took the shape of a big Axe capable of cutting down the biggest trees out there, and then I jumped into battle, activating the [Spirit Farming Tool Mastery] Skill and charging it with Spirit and Mana Energy.

“HYAAAAHH!!!”

CRAAAAAASSSHHH!!!

I landed right over the head of a large Cave Drake, slicing through its head cleanly with a single, powerful strike.

TRUUUUMMM…!

The very strike caused a shockwave of spiritual energy everywhere as the giant monster dissipated into particles of light. The surroundings, completely devoid of any plant life, instantly started to overgrow with vegetation. Grass, flowers, and even small trees started sprouting everywhere.

This wasn’t just the power of the [Spirit Farming Tool Mastery] Skill, but its abilities combined with several other Skills, such as Geomancer, Terrain Expansion, and more.

Ding!

[You have expanded your Terrain by 10 Tiles!]

[You have expanded your Terrain by 7 Tiles!]

[You have expanded your Terrain by 16 Tiles!]

[You have expanded your Terrain by 20 Tiles!]

FLUOOOOSH!

The spiritual light didn’t stop expanding, and the more vegetation grew, the more energy and power I gained back, generating an amazing loop where I could slowly continue expanding my reserves of Mana and Spirit Energy.

POOF! POOF! POOF! POOF!

Ding!

[Dozens of Spiritual Sprouts have been born, Lesser Spirits are slowly gathering around you!]

And the spirits were just the cherry on top.
