BAAAM!
Vd nded above the domain’s magic circle, which felt like walking ss. Then, after he felt he was ready, he touched the magic circle with his hands, infusing Ara, Blood Energy, and his Blood Ki into it.
Yes, Blood Ki roduced from his Skills, allowing him to amass even more power for this giant domain! He had to make it even stroo exorcize such a huge monster.
“Ia, get out of the way! We’re ready!”
He noticed Ia still fighting the tentacles, so he quickly told her to leave.
Although he was a bit harsh with his words, she didn’t care about that and obeyed.
“Yes, master!”
She quickly fleith her wings. As this happehe possessed gobli Vd with anger. Her eyes had already bee pletely green and crystallized, resembling emeralds.
“GRAAAHHH!”
She screamed furiously, her entire body suddenly being pletely enpassed by emerald jewels, the armrowing untrolbly, growing giaacles made of such emeralds, at the same time as slimy tentacles bined with them.
She tried to attack Vd, although his magic circle defended him, being struck stantly as a result, but that held on rather well as it was being reinforced by the power of the dormant, and now awakened, Leylines.
“Now!”
FLAAAASH!
The domain was activated fully, as Vd touched the magic circle and released its powers while activating another Skill he was saving until this very moment.
“{Magism Manipution}!”
By eling the Skill into the Domain, it became much stronger; powerful magic power started pulling out the emerald in rge ks.
“GRUUUAAAGGH!”
The goblin girl screamed in agony as her monstrous form started to rapidly bee smaller, her crystal arminning to shatter apart and then pletely disappear, getting stuto the magic circle instead.
It seemed this wasn’t a normal emerald, probably made of more metal than actual crystals; the magic power worked on it wonderfully.
It was a gamble, but ohat worked in the end.
“GRRRHHH…!”
Ahe girl wasn’t letting go of her emerald sword, which she furiously swung against Vd, trying to destroy the magic circle.
“It won’t work.”
He quickly waved his hand, as giant arms made out of mud emerged, maniputing the dirt. Without even having to touch it through a bination of Earth Spells and Geomancy, Vd kept the goblin girl still by ing arms made of mud around her body.
“GRAAAHH! GRAARRGH!”
She kept r angrily, the sword making him go insane, until Vd forcefully infused all his power; the sword ultimately gained cracks…
Crack, crack…!
And a malevolent, green-colored, and ghostly energy came out from it… Although the powerful armor was also possessing her, it was the sword that held the greatest power.
[The {Maiden of the Emerald Sea} expresses her love for you!]
The green ghostly aura stantly tried to reach Vd, attempting to break through the magic circle trapping her within it.
“Enough!”
Vd closed his hands, f more and more of his Ara into the Domain, keeping it stable.
Hundreds of crimson bolts stantly gathered around the swiving it more cracks.
Crack, crack…!
The ghostly specter of green gases stantly made sad expressions, r angrily and hitting the magic circle more and more.
[The {Maiden of the Emerald Sea} is very sad! She says she wants to be with you forever.]
[Would you let her devour you, so you two bee one forever?]
“Leave.”
He didn’t give in to her temptations; Vd quickly gathered the powers he had harnessed and then formed a huge arrow of red lightning.
CRAAASH!
Using it to pierce the sword, it quickly shattered into pieces.
“GRYAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!”
And a loud, womanly, a monstrous scream echoed through the entire forest.
It wasn’t even ing from the goblin girl, but the sword itself.
[The {Maiden of the Emerald Sea} is so sad! So very sad!]
[She wants you all for herself and swears she will one day gobble you up.]
[“Until then, take care~!”]
Until finally, her presence seemed to disappear, the ghostly figure stopped moving and then became empty air, without even properly dissipating.
It was bizarre.
[The {Maiden of the Emerald Sea} presence has disappeared.]
“Haaahh… Seriously, this was so stupid,” Vd sighed in relief. “I ’t believe I would say this, but I prefer the shadow guy instead; at least he talked in a funny way.”
He felt rather disgusted and embarrassed to realize this Outer One seemed to have a crush on him or something… It was pletely nonsensical the more he thought about it.
That thing had only seen him ond somehow wanted him all for herself.
The Outer Ones were sure strange, and their weird fixation for him might’ve started as just an act through the Unending Crimson’s invasion.
But it ended on a slight obsession from their part…
“If the promotional art of the game is something to hey’re supposed to be these big endgame bosses that you fight in outer space… Why are they showing up so early? Did we do something wrong and trigger this to happen earlier?”
After finally havi all three of them, Vd couldn’t help but think about their status as bosses of the game, Fantasy Story Online, and more.
But there seemed to be a fourth, a hidden Outer Ohat his sister not only found but even befriended!
“The Hollowed…”
He was the stra of the four, with no apparent goal or proper personality; it was only using Camil as a medium to move through the Mortal Pne a through her eyes.
At the same time, she seems immuo the insanity he causes in its avatars, makihe perfect vessel.
“Whatever role it will take iure of this game’s story… It will be very important.”
Although he was tired and wao just log out now, there was someohat still needed a bit of help; he walked towards her, finding her unscious over the bck grass.
“She has a cute face foblin… Wait, she is a Pyer?!”
Vd realized rather te what she truly was.
“Ugh… Wha… who?”
She slowly opened her eyes, and then widehem the moment she realized she was in the arms of a handsome vampire.
“W-What the hell, dude?!”
And jumped right off his arms, while bonking his head at that!
“Hey! I just saved your damn life…!”
