Chapter 2041: Second Form?! Against The Infernal Spirit Dragon Treant!

-----

"POLIMORPH! INFERNAL SPIRIT DRAGON FORM!"

RUMBLE!

The Treant Boss suddenly transformed into a massive dragon of twisted wood and corrupted flames. The beast descended and crashed into the ground, obliterating half the forest and spreading his curse in every direction.

"ROOOAAAARRR!"

He roared with terrifying power, gathering energy in his jaws before unleashing a devastating breath attack with all his strength at once.

"BURN!!!"

Aquarina released her aura, manifesting something incredible in that instant.

"Divine Spirit Ocean Dragon Crystal Palace!"

Her aura crystallized into a vast blue palace of divine energy, shielding both of us from the strike as the entire battlefield shook violently.

RUMBLE!

My Familiars hid behind us, barely escaping the destructive attack with their lives. The Treant King roared again, suddenly sprouting three more heads and firing three additional beams.

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

Cracks spread across Aquarina’s palace as it began to tremble under the assault.

I knew exactly what to do.

I channeled Strength through my body and activated full synchronization once more.

With her power flowing into me, Scarlet and Sapphire sharing their stats, and Naturia serving as my armor, I charged forward.

"Sylphy?!"

As she cried out in panic, I sprinted straight into the four mountain-destroying, city-leveling breath attacks.

"Yggdragon Quintuple Aura."

My aura exploded outward as five dragons surged forth, opening their jaws and roaring with immense power.

At the same time, I deployed two of my Domains.

"Heavenly Thunder Divine Domain."

"Divine Void Star Dragon Aura Domain."

The Domains compressed with my Quintuple Aura and merged, spreading rainbow light and swirling elemental forces around me.

My Divinities awakened and responded, fusing with an endless surge of power. As I moved, the Domain warped space itself.

RUMBLE!

"NNNGGHHH?!"

"W-WHA...?!" 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"UACK?!"

"GRAAGGHHH?!"

The Treant King and his four mouths groaned in shock as I pushed back their breath attacks with every step.

I started walking, then broke into a full run.

Positioning Sapphire at the front while Scarlet absorbed the energy from my combined Aura and Domains, I reached the titanic, dragon-shaped Infernal Treant King in a single second.

And then...

"Abyssal Cursed Divine Orichalcum Golem Titan Guardian: Erebus!"

RUMBLE!

A giant black portal opened from the shield itself, and a massive black titan emerged. Its enormous hands seized the Treant’s entire frame in an iron grip.

"Master... calls... Erebus... kills!"

In that moment, the gigantic black golem—eyes gleaming like blood-red jewels—began grappling the Treant King with his massive arms and unstoppable strength. Erebus stood over a hundred meters tall.

The dragon screamed as his many heads were twisted, shattered, and torn apart by Erebus’s merciless hands.

"N-NOO!"

The Treant King roared in fury, breaking free and spreading his aura wildly. The surrounding Burning Forest transformed into a sea of wooden, burning dragons.

"DIE!!!"

The flaming dragons unleashed their curse with rage, but Erebus stepped in front of me and absorbed every ounce of it, completely unaffected.

"Erebus, immobilize it! Aquarina! Let’s finish this!"

"Okay!"

Aquarina and I charged across the battlefield. My Familiars surged forward one after another, tearing through the army of Infernal Treant Dragons with their skills and abilities.

Brownie burrowed through the ground and summoned sharp boulders.

Beelzebub spread abyssal poison and deadly shadows, consuming the monsters.

Furoh shapeshifted into a Treant King himself, using his wooden body to fire dozens of burning spears at the enemy.

Nephilim flashed through the skies, her infernal and heavenly elements merging as she thrust her spear, unleashing sharp, destructive attacks across the battlefield.

Violet spread her Alchemical Element, reshaping the environment to her will. Giant seas of purple goop spread everywhere, weakening and assaulting the foes.

Pyuku joined her, combining the strongest monster skills he had absorbed and firing rainbow-colored spheres of elemental magic from his fingertips, bombarding our enemies.

Yggdra expanded her Nature Domain in all directions. Plants and vegetation surged endlessly as roots, wooden hands, and sharp spears pierced everything in their path.

Even Glutton helped, transforming into his gigantic form—a massive open maw—and siphoning foes into his stomach, devouring them without mercy. He also distorted space, allowing us to close the distance faster.

Red did his best, launching demon fire and curses.

Ignatius absorbed the flames and grew titanic as well, charging alongside Erebus and slamming into the Treant King.

Despite his low base stats, Ignatius compensated with incredible skills that let him become gigantic by consuming fire and skyrocketing his power.

Everyone was fighting and helping with everything they had!

Still, it felt like one was missing.

Curse...

By now he would have turned into a giant tentacled eye and rampaged across the entire battlefield—perhaps even finding a way to counter the curse itself.

With a heavy heart, I pressed forward.

Aquarina caught up and ran beside me, her auras surging as she extended her tail into a long, powerful whip fused with stone, water, and abyssal shadows.

"GET OFF ME!!!"

The Infernal Treant King screamed, punching Erebus and Ignatius away and sending them crashing to the ground. Though Erebus took no damage, his slow movements left him struggling to rise. Ignatius exploded into flames and was left weakened.

"Ignatius, return! Spirit Fusion!"

"Oh?!"

Ignatius gasped as I fused him with Alice, then with myself.

FLAAASH!

My red scales turned brilliant gold. Yellow horns grew from my forehead, my hair lengthened, and wings, tail, and claws emerged across my body.

I radiated the power of a Holy Dragon.

This was my Holy Draconification—attained not through possessing a Holy Dragon, but through the miracle of the Spirit Fusion Skill.

But that was not all.

"Soul Weapon!"

I drew a long, radiant celestial spear from my soul.

This was my Original Soul Weapon, which had grown within me for a long time and absorbed my Divinity.

"Celestial Holy Dragon Lance!"

With a sword in one hand and the lance in the other, I leaped forward at the same time as Aquarina.

Aquarina struck first, slamming her elongated tail into the giant monster. It crushed scales and tore away large chunks of burning wood.

"GREAAAAHHH!"

His four heads roared back, firing beams of cursed flames. Aquarina defended with her Palace Barrier, then transformed her hands into the same giant fists as before.

"ORRAAAAAHHH!"

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Each punch triggered a massive explosion, forcing the beams back until her fists smashed into the monster’s heads. Three of the four heads exploded into flames and wood, while the last one lunged to bite her.

And that was where I struck.

CRAAASH!

Using Sapphire’s powers, I coated myself in her defensive aura. Dozens of coiling dragon heads surged from her divine energy, hissing fiercely as they released all the accumulated damage back at the beast.

BOOOMMM!!!
