“Maria, we finally caught up to you!”
“Master!”
Maria was surprised by the voices of Eraldine and Partner, as she quickly turned back to them, feeling that the Domain of Miasma could be detrintal to both of them who were living beings, she imdiately expanded her swarm of flies and covered the two with them, fusing her own body with her Abyssal Barrier Skill and forming a spherical black bubble to protect them from the corruption of miasma spreading out, which she seed to be quite resistant to.
“You two shouldn’t had rushed here so recklessly! Shit’s gotten even worse now!” Maria desperately said.
As she never expected Agatha to pull out such a move out of her ass, she was really confused about what to even do, especially because the Larva by itself was definitely bad news. It emanated a powerful presence, and although she was incapable of discerning its true stats, she was sure as hell it was going to easily overpower her whenever it grew out into a full-fledged young adult… In just a few minutes!
“What? What’s going on now? We saw that you destroyed her into pieces, what’s this thing?” Wondered Eraldine, feeling both upset and frightened. She looked into the larva from the distance and felt it’s enormous and overflowing energies covering the sky with black clouds, without even allowing the brightness of the moon illuminate the surface.
“I appraised it through my abilities, that thing is… the sa thing that the twins had. Rember? It is so sort of Demonite Crystal thingy, but even more upgraded! It was made to give this bitch a second chance. Just when I thought I had her! If we let her completely transform, she’ll beco a gigantic demon or sothing. I don’t really want to find out to be honest!” Maria said while feeling rather desperate.
“However, that crystal emanates a Miasma Domain, it consus all sort of life and weakens it severely. I am sure that you two are strong enough to withstand it to an extent, but I don’t think you can do it through the ti we take to get there and kill that thing before it grows up!” Maria added, looking at the two girl’s eyes.
“Then I can shot it from afar with my arrows!” Eraldine said with hopes of that being enough, while Maria facepald.
“I’m sure your arrows are powerful but that surely won’t do it, Eraldine.” She sighed. “We gotta find sothing better to do than that, we have to take down that damn thing in ti before things beco even worse for all of us. But due to the Miasma…”
“Then isn’t it possible for you to cover us in your own soul sohow? Or maybe turn us into Undead?” Wondered Partner. “I used to be one so I don’t really mind it!”
“With Fake Life, you can turn willing living beings into Undead, right?” Asked Eraldine.
“No… I cannot do that. I won’t take away your lives just for a strategy purpose.” I sighed.
Although Maria seed in the blue about what to do, her System was already calculating a solution. She had recently accumulated a sizable amount of System Points after conquering the Dungeon and devouring the Dungeon Core’s soul after all.
[Maria, I have calculated and reassessed a possible way to enhance your allies. Through the Grimoire, you can enhance allies’ stats through special Abilities, right? Well, by spending most of your current System Points, it should be possible to create a new Undead to aid them in joining the fight and also in enhancing their strength. This Undead is special as it mixes both Necromancy and your Enhancent capabilities]
“(Oh?! Really? You did that pretty quickly…”
[I am here to aid you in anything I can after all. As your Unique Skill, it is my duty. Now, what do you think?]
“(Sure, I doubt we can do anything else. Lucifer is a Death Dragon, so he probably can bear with the Miasma, but these two girls even now aren’t enough… Let’s do it, System.)”
[Understood]
Ding!
[You have exchanged 132058 System Points]
[A New Undead has been made available within the Necromancy Pages of the Soul Grimoire]
[The High Ranking Undead [Abyssal Phantom Living Armor] has been unlocked]
[The System Points exchanged will be used for the replacent of the required materials to create two [Abyssal Phantom Living Armors]!]
FLAAAASH!
Suddenly, from Maria’s very hands, two masses of phantasmal shadows erged, shrouding both Eraldine and Partner! Their bodies were suddenly wrapped up in this darkness, as it quickly materialized into pure black armor, molding to their body shape perfectly. Even their weapons themselves were covered in this black tallic material, being enhanced in strength!
“W-What is going on?! Armor?” Asked Partner. “Master! Is this sothing you created?”
“T-This armor is a bit tight… Ugh!” Eraldine cried, suddenly finding herself completely clad in a tight black armor.
“These are Undead specialized in the ability to resist all sorts of elents within the Dark Spectrum nad [Abyssal Phantom Living Armor]! They also have the special ability of [Miasmic Assimilation] where they can absorb and purify Miasma in the environnt and use it to enhance their endurance and power.” Maria said, after having learned the purpose of such wonderful Undead through reading their entry in her Soul Grimoire.
The two beauties, now clad in black armor emanating a powerful phantasmal presence, felt slightly surprised and tired of Maria always coming out with stuff out of nowhere. It wasn’t that different from what happened with Agatha in their perspective. Of course, Maria had yet to even reveal them about the System, that was sothing she preferred not to talk about if possible because she assud that people of this world wouldn’t be able to understand what a System could truly be. …Or maybe she was too lazy to explain it.
“Incredible… Your Necromancy has truly achieved completely new levels, huh? But to think you can co out with a new Undead out of nowhere… Well, we can ask more questions later!” Eraldine said. She was indeed quite suspicious of Maria but decided to trust her for now and not waste any more ti.
“Yeah, we’ll ask explanations later, let’s begin, we can’t let that horrid thing grow any bigger!” Partner valiantly said, pointing her spear at the Miasmic Larva.
“Right… Let’s go!” Maria commanded her friends, as the trio flew outside of her Shadow Barrier, delving into the storm of Miasma!
