A devastating torrent of dragon breath, unleashed by Sapphire, my resilient living shield, tore a massive void through the monstrous wooden entity before us.
Skimming across the icy path Aquarina had meticulously created, I finally closed the distance with the colossal beast.
"Gotcha!" I declared. The Infernal Treant King bellowed, its menacing claws and fangs lashing out with ferocity directly at me.
Nevertheless, I was no ordinary warrior. By expanding my combined Yggdragon Auras and Domains, I warped the very fabric of space, allowing me to deftly parry every single assault.
"My turn."
Channeling the potent essence of Strength into Scarlet and my lance, I poured every atom of my being into both weapons, unleashing a devastating swing with the totality of my power.
The Infernal Treant King managed to halt my momentum mid-swing, its gargantuan claws slamming against my protective aura and formidable armor.
However, my armor was no longer merely a passive defense.
Naturia erupted with a shockwave of pure spiritual energy. A purifying luminescence pierced the Treant King's monstrous claws, shattering the dark curse and causing vibrant, life-giving vegetation to erupt across its unyielding form.
As the creature howled in excruciating pain, I delivered the final, decisive blow.
I infused this singular attack with my entire soul and life force.
This was wielded against a monstrous fiend, a vile creation born from a wicked curse.
The Holy Blazing Dragon Blade Arts were no longer confined to mere cutting.
To truly become one with these powers, to make them intrinsically mine, I had to transcend even further.
LIGHT.
METAL.
VOID.
NATURE.
FIRE.
SPACE.
THUNDER.
All these focal points of convergence rapidly condensed within my mind before flowing into my blade, transforming it into an absolute extension of my very self.
All became unified.
Scarlet’s incandescent divine edge, supercharged by the full might of Strength’s Overload and Impact Shockwave, melded with the brilliant radiance of my Celestial Holy Dragon Lance. Naturia’s purifying spiritual essence coursed through the weapons like vital sap, while my condensed Domains, Heavenly Thunder, Divine Void Star Dragon, and the five thundering dragons of my Yggdragon Quintuple Aura swirled around the blade in a maelstrom of prismatic light.
The Infernal Treant King’s claws desperately attempted to impede my advance, yet they crumbled into dust the instant they grazed the periphery of my aura. Naturia’s cleansing wave had already begun to unravel the curse, transmogrifying sections of its corrupt wooden flesh into verdant foliage that spread with astonishing speed.
I swung.
Not merely with my physical arms.
With every fiber of my will, every drop of divinity, and every fervent aspiration to safeguard Aquarina and achieve greater strength together.
A solitary, silent flash of brilliance erupted.
The cleave did not simply bisect the Infernal Treant King’s form—it carved through the very fabric of space.
And through the dimensions comprising the entirety of the dungeon. A colossal, jagged fissure tore open in the sky.
The world dissolved into an overwhelming whiteness. From that luminous chasm, boundless rainbow flames surged forth.
In that pivotal moment, I comprehended.
All this time, my actions had been mere games.
Now, I was finally ascending, evolving into something far more profound.
The Infernal Treant King was rent asunder and annihilated by a colossal explosion that obliterated the entire Infernal Forest in its wake. The entire First Layer was wiped from existence—every tree uprooted and flung aside.
With a final, piercing shriek of torment, the light consumed its entirety. Its form was pulverized by the shattered dimensions themselves, then detonated with cataclysmic force. Massive fragments of its body were propelled in every direction.
The core—a colossal, throbbing orb of crimson-black, the size of a dwelling—shattered into countless shards. Each fragment was transmuted into innocuous, sparkling dust before it could even impact the ground below.
[Congratulations, you have slain the [Infernal Treant King]!]
[Your party has also slain hundreds of other monsters.]
[You earned 75,000,000 EXP!]
[Your Contracted Spirit: [Yggdra] Level has increased from Level 93 to Level 102/700.]
[Your Contracted Familiar: [Scarlet] Level has increased from Level 101 to Level 112/400.]
[Your Contracted Familiar: [Sapphire] Level has increased from Level 101 to Level 112/400.]
[Your Contracted Familiar: [Nephilim] Level has increased from Level 109 to Level 118/300.]
As I descended through the ethereal white expanse, the world abruptly recolored. I felt myself being caught by someone.
"Phew! I almost didn't catch you!" she exclaimed with a light laugh.
It was Aquarina.
"You really went overboard there. That wretched thing just refused to die, didn't it?" she commented. "That was incredible, by the way. It seems you're already beginning to grasp something new?"
"I-I believe so..." My entire body felt completely depleted. "Haaa... I've never experienced this sensation before. It's as though I've exhausted all my Endless Mana, despite its presence."
"It signifies that, for a fleeting instant, you drew upon the boundless energy surging from the anomaly within your soul to manifest that technique," Alice elucidated. "Naturally, such a monumental attack was only attainable due to the foundation you've meticulously built... but indeed, for a fraction of a second, your Mana was truly depleted."
"Wow..." I gasped. "I just conjured that name spontaneously, but I think I'll keep it."
Aquarina gently steadied me as I got back on my feet. I stretched my sore limbs, and soon everyone had gathered around, eager to celebrate with us.
"Master, you did it!" Furoh cheered. "T-That was absolutely incredible! What in the world was that technique?!"
"I could hardly believe my eyes... D-Did you just tear through reality itself?" Beelzebub stammered. "That looked like an attack befitting a god!"
"Reality? Well, if you consider space and the dimensions within it as reality..." Ignatius materialized from within my body. "Then yes, I suppose that's accurate. However, she would never have accomplished it without my assistance!"
"Or mine," Alice chimed in, appearing beside me.
"To be honest, yes... Alice's divine runes likely provided the necessary boost for that attack to succeed," I admitted. "Thank you."
"Oh, it was nothing, Sylphy," Alice replied, offering a warm smile. "It was quite enjoyable!"
"Enjoyable? It looked absolutely terrifying... Anna, please refrain from doing that again," Nephilim admonished.
"Nephilim, don't spoil the fun!" Scarlet protested.
"Exactly! We served our master splendidly, fufufufu!" Sapphire giggled.
Both familiars transformed into their stunning humanoid forms, embracing me tightly and burying my face between their ample chests. "Eeeek!" I squealed, enveloped by their comforting warmth.
"Master, that was magnificent!" Scarlet declared.
"Indeed, you are the sole individual worthy of wielding our power!" Sapphire proclaimed.
They then proceeded to smother my face with kisses, leaving my lips adorned with red and blue lipstick marks. "H-Hey! What do you think you're doing?! Let her go!" Aquarina bellowed, fiercely grabbing Sapphire by the neck in a wrestling match. "Aaack! W-What's with this gorilla woman?! She's far too strong!" Sapphire yelped.
"Don't refer to her that way!" I protested. "Return to your shield form, Sapphire."
"Eeeh... but I wanted to smooch my adorable master..." she sighed mournfully but ultimately complied, reverting to her original form.
