Chapter 1452 Defeating The Malevolent Plant Monster
-----
SPLAAASH!
The Acidic demonic blood this beast was constantly vomiting quickly fell over my body, was it attempting to just melt me into nothing?!
It was clearly strong and resilient, but such a tactic wasn't going to easily work on me! 𝑏𝑒𝘥𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝑛𝘦𝑡
I quickly generated an enormous mass of pure photonic light on my hands, the celestial shine of the sun itself was summoned forth.
"[Holy Sun]!"
FLAAAAAASSSSHHH!!!
The enormous shockwave of pure blinding and all-consuming burning light emerged from my very body. This was a powerful Divine Skill I had inherited from the Light Dragons Bloodline!
FRRSSSSHHH!
The Demon Blood instantly turned into ashes as it was exposed to all the light elemental power I could muster, although that consumed more Divine Power than I would had expected.
"You tricky little weed…!"
With a mighty and furious roar, I quickly decided to transform my shape once more, as I swiftly gained six enormous and muscular draconic arms, using their sharp claws in combination with my flying weapons elemental attacks to pierce through the beast's branches and body.
"[Primordial Divine Ice Magic]: [Soul Freezing Curse]!"
Each of my attacks, both of the weapons and my claws started freezing the beast's soul, weakening it severely, its stats and energy fluctuations quickly going down by a large amount!
Ding!
[You have activated the powerful Divine Spell [Soul Freezing Curse] on a target!]
[The power of your Divine Control over the Ice Element freezes their souls slowly! All their Stats have decreased by -70% and their Energy Fluctuation and Control have been slowed down dramatically!]
"Perfect!"
I opened my jaws in that moment while my weapons and claws kept the beast in check, unleashing a devastating cannon breath attack with the power of both the Primordial Black Flames of Demise and the Primordial Divine Ice Element!
TRUUUUMMMM…!
"GRYYYEEEEGGGHHHH…!"
The aberration kept trying to regenerate as its body was beginning to disintegrate, even as its vines and branches attempted to pierce my body, I tightly held that thing until it stopped struggling!
"That's enough! Rest in peace already!" I roared.
BOOOOOMMMMM!!!
The flames engulfed it completely, its body suddenly froze into pure black ice, before shattering into billions of tiny obsidian-colored crystals.
Crack, crack…
CRAAASH!
The rest of the battlefield fell silent as well, my family, Emerald, and the others made sure to fight against the rest of the smaller beasts, giving me all the time I needed to take down this creature.
"Ugh, get away from me- Ah?" Emerald who was being covered on these plants suddenly realized they faded away into particles of light. "PHEW…"
"Looks like its over…" Benladann sighed in relief. "These plant-like monsters seem frailer than the robots but are faster than the crystal beasts and their demonic energy is very deadly… Good thing we made sure to attack from a distance."
"Well, as long as I am here to cover your back you'll never take lethal damage!" Miranda said proudly, quickly turning back into her humanoid form from her giant sludge-like creature.
"Lord Drake is truly a mighty Dragon King! Such an amazing display of prowess that was!" Tyrannus seemed moved by my strength. "You took that thing down on your own!"
"It was rather hard though…" I sighed. "Nonetheless, compared to Pandemonium's True Demons, it wasn't THAT much… I guess after we fought those incredibly tough things, most monsters feel frail and weak in comparison."
"We shouldn't be too confident though." Benladann corrected me. "His very existence and his True Demons proved to us that there's always bigger fishes out there, we have to be careful."
"I couldn't agree more." I agreed.
"Daddy, the plants are gone… I wanted them for salad…" Benladra sighed.
"Benladra they were dreams, you can't eat the salads." Kate said.
"Ough…" Benladra was feeling a bit hungry.
"Hungry?" I asked her. "Let's take a quick break to eat something rapidly before we advance. Tyrannus, I know it's urgent but…"
"I know, I understand." He nodded. "My soldiers are also tired and hungry, if you don't mind, we would like to partake too."
"Sure." I nodded. "Let's eat something quickly."
Meanwhile, the Dream Dungeon sent a message…
Ding!
[You've completed the Trial successfully! You will be rewarded Special Rewards for your efforts.]
[You received: [Technomancy Divinity Fragment] x5 [Dungeon Divinity Fragment] x5 [Nature Divinity Fragment] x15 [Divine Treasure Chest (S+++ Grade)] x1 [Divine Golden Apple (1/2)] x1]
[You gained +150.000.000 Divine Power.]
FLAAASH!
A giant, over three-meter-big golden apple materialized in front of us, as it floated in midair and slowly fell into my hands.
"So this must be the requirement item…" I said. "We need another one and we can finally get to that thing hiding in the depths of this dungeon…"
"Wow, it's so shiny and looks delicioush!" Benladra was drooling at my side. "Daddy, can I have a bite? A tiny one!"
"No, this is a Dream Artifact, Benladra, not actual food." I said.
"I wonder how apple pie with that would taste like…" Kate was also drooling.
"Well, I do have normal apple pie, I wonder if that will do for now with these two overly spoiled little princesses?" I wondered, as I opened my inventory to show several pastries I had saved.
"Oooh! Yummy!" Benladra was on a sweet tooth mood today, so just like her sister, she started to quickly eat several slices of cakes and pies.
"Hmm, nom, nom…" Kate was happily devouring everything as well.
"Soldiers, you don't mind pre-made food?" I offered the warriors cake and pie slices, alongside large sandwiches with meat, fried vegetables, eggs, and other sauces.
"W-We don't mind…!" Tyrannus was drooling at the wondrous sight. "Such delicious looking food we've never seen before…!"
"T-Thank you for the food!"
"Oooh, what's this?! So good!"
"This is… a "Cake"? So sweet and fluffy! My exhaustion is going away immediately after eating this…"
"Incredible this sandwich is like a whole feast in a small size!"
"Hahaha, they're surely enjoying the food." Benladann giggled.
"I bet they've never eaten anything so elaborated before." Miranda laughed too.
"W-We do have some of our unique plates though, but our women cook them much better!" Tyrannus said. "Once we are done with this… Please, let us invite you and your family to a big feast!"
"Sure! You better not go back on your word." I smiled.
"Yeah you better not go back on your word, chief! I'm also feasting after this is done!" Emerald said, stuffing his mouth with several sandwiches and whole fruits. "Nom, nom… Gulp- Akh! W-Waterrr…"
He quickly grabbed a jug filled with fruit juice and started drinking it until he managed to get everything down.
"Eat slower, uncle Emerald!" Benladra reprimanded him. "You almost asphyxiated with food!"
"Nn, even we eat slowly." Kate said, her cheeks filled like a hamster.
"Ugh… But everything's so good!" Emerald said. "I haven't eaten such good food since… I think since I was born, even back home, we often had either salad or raw meat…"
"I suppose Wind Dragons don't have a really developed cuisine." I laughed. "If you're willing to learn how to prepare tasty food yourself, I could teach you how to cook and even conjure Cooking Magic."
"R-Really, uncle?!" He asked in shock. "I want to! I want to!"
"Okay, okay, calm down a bit you bird-faced brat!" I stopped him from getting me all covered on the food stuck on his beak.
