Chapter 1278 Despair
-----
"Hah, as if any plan you're thinking about would ever come to fruition!" Laughed the Deep One and the Queen, reaching Pekora and unleashing countless claw attacks at her!
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLAAASH!
Pekora's entire body was… sliced into pieces!
Blood and guts splattered everywhere, as the smile in the Queen as she was covered in Pekora's blood widened after seeing her being torn to pieces…
However.
"Nnnggh…!"
Pekora's eyes glowed brightly, as countless threads made of divine spiritual energy emerged everywhere around her torn apart body, milliseconds before falling into the floor, as her entire body reattached itself through branches and roots growing everywhere.
"RAAAAHHHHH!!!" Pekora roared like she had never done before, her right arm suddenly growing ten times her size as the power of Nature transformed her entire body into plants, roots, wood, and spiritual essence making her fist grow into a gigantic wooden hand!
CLAAAAAASSHHHHH!!!
An enormous fist reached the Queen, not only charged with the power of the Spirits that Pekora had summoned and converged with, but also with her Divine Beast Spirit, the Holy Lightning Rabbit, Aki!
BAAAAAMMM!!!
Anastasia fell into the floor with her face filled with shock as her entire body was covered in lightning, life, and holy light energy converging together… it felt painful, it was burning her alive.
"W-What sort of power is that?!" She panicked.
"I-It can't be!" The Deep One was surprised. "That mere rabbit-kin has managed to create [Nature's Harmony]?!"
The Deep One knew what Nature's Harmony was because he, as Oberon, had mastered such power. It was a special Ability, or Magic, that High Elves developed by mastering Nature, Life, Spirit, and Light Magic together.
Combining these powers and directly fusing them into their body would allow them to temporarily become Nature itself… meaning that Pekora survived such a lethal attack by turning into nature, plants themselves, and merely reattaching herself back to normal.
However, it was a power she had yet to master. And it came with a deadly backlash, as Pekora's own soul would begin to be slowly consumed the more she used it, until it could completely disappear, killing her on the spot.
"Nature's Harmony…?" Asked the Queen.
"It is a power we elves mastered, it grants the power to temporarily transform into nature itself…" The Deep One groaned.
"What?! Such a thing-"
"[Spirit Tree's Spears]!"
FLAAASH!
Suddenly, the entire ground around the Queen began glowing with bright green and golden light, as countless spears made of spirit tree started emerging one after the other, attacking her! 𝗯𝐞𝗱𝐧𝐨𝘃𝐞𝐥.𝗼𝗿𝐠
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
"Useless! These things can't even damage me!" Laughed the Queen, easily tanking all hits with her natural scale armor.
"And what about this?!" Yuki appeared right behind her, suddenly exuding all her Beast Spirit Aura at once, combining her Elements of Holy Light, Ice, and Poison together! "[Holy Frost Poisonous Tiger Fist]!"
A giant illusion of a tiger made of purple and golden frost emerged behind Yuki, as her fist was charged with tremendous power, reaching the Queen's face and punching her with everything she had!
CLAAAAASH!
"GRAAAAAHHH…!"
The Queen felt her entire face burning as she fell down to the floor, shattering it even more than she had before. However, aside from the nasty wound in her face, she had barely taken any damage.
"RAAAAH!"
Nonetheless, it wasn't as if Yuki was done either. She fell right above her, unleashing powerful kicks, punches, and even a powerful headbutt into her own head!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CRAAASH!
The Queen put her arms in front of her face to defend using her natural defensive scales, and then quickly smiled as she tanked all hits, as tens of magic circles behind her emerged, unleashing beams of chaos against Yuki!
"Perish."
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Countless beams fell over Yuki, blowing the entire place with countless chaos attribute explosions. The hall was covered in black smoke, however, Anastasia quickly realized Yuki's dead body wasn't there. In the last moment, she was dragged by Pekora's roots to her side, saving her from a sure death.
"Hahhh… Y-You saved me." Sighed Yuki in relief.
"Focus! She's coming!" Pekora roared, loading her entire body with Spiritual Power as her soul slowly began to be consumed more and more.
"You two are sure as stubborn as cockroaches!" The Queen stepped forwards, in a millisecond reaching Pekora and Yuki and punching both in the face with tremendous power and speed.
CLAAAAASH! CLAAAAASH!
Both were blown into the air like ragdolls. The Queen's enhanced speed was something completely out of this world. And while the two of them were falling from midair, she flew towards the two girls and swung her sharp claws, attempting to slice them up into pieces once more!
SPAARK! CRAAAASH!
"W-What?!"
However, from within Pekora's body, an enormous lightning strike reached the Queen's entire body, electrocuting her entirely and blowing her down the ground!
BAAAAM!
It wasn't Pekora that acted in that time, but Aki, the Rabbit Spirit dwelling within her. The two girls barely landed on the floor, only to see the Queen once more standing back up like nothing happened to her and rushing towards them while increasing her speed with each step!
"I told you that it is USELESS!!!" She roared furiously, her giant sharp claws swung horizontally and vertically, unleashing terrifying slashes made of pure chaos against the two!
CLAASH! CLAASH! CLAASH! CRAAASH!
Pekora and Yuki managed to intercept them by combining their strength together, Pekora used her transformation smartly as well, spreading her roots below the ground as countless plants began growing around the Queen before she realized it… Sunflowers included.
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
They flowed brightly, releasing beams of sunlight against her entire body, bombarding her with no end!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOOM!
However, the queen ran across the field of sunflowers, slicing them into pieces with her sharp claws and leaping towards Pekora and Yuki, kicking Yuki in the head and blowing her away, while piercing through Pekora's body with her sharp claws constantly!
"DIE, USELESS VERMIN!"
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH!
"Unnnggh…!" Pekora's soul was being consumed rapidly as she was regenerating her body.
Despite doing everything she could, it seemed that Anastasia's strength was too overwhelming.
"Mother! STOP!"
However, black tentacles suddenly emerged from the Queen's shadows, wrapping around her legs and arms, and temporarily stopping her movements!
"What?! Eleanor?!"
