Chapter 1144 Defeating The Demon Duke
-----
[The Skill [Ray of Destruction] has entered a cooldown.]
[Cooldown: 5 Minutes.]
[The Player Teressa, who had permanently become a [Monster] has been slain.]
[Due to the effects of the [Monster] Status, their account has been terminated upon death.]
Astaroth and his vessel Teressa both died. However, the real Teressa should be fine, as Planta managed to save her soul from being destroyed by her attack, while purifying the demon from taking it.
Particles of light fell from the sky as Planta reached the floor, feeling an immense exhaustion wash over her entire soul and body. Using the power of a World Boss was more tiring than she thought.
Perhaps if she used it with her True Body, the gigantic tree, it might have been different.
But right now, she didn't have any time to even feel tired!
She quickly took a powerful Elixir from her inventory, which she had accumulated many, and drank it instantly, recovering her energies and wounds.
"Hahhh…" She gasped for air, feeling relieved.
But at the same time, she couldn't feel relieved, quickly running towards the rest of the group as she assessed the situation.
First, there were at least ten Underworld Gates opened, and their bosses were about to start crawling out at any moment.
Second, Mark and the rest of the participants were all fending off the Undead right behind her, but the King and the Queen were missing, and Goldanaba too!
Third, she knew where they were and what happened, the Queen got tricked and trapped inside a Domain, this was the least of her worries, Camilla was strong, and the King went with Goldanaba to save her, learning from David that Gustav got kidnaped.
And fourth, her daughter was fighting a wicked version of Arthur, which was probably also a demon as strong as Astaroth, but she had her friends close by.
Fifth, the audience! Her Spirits and Draconic Beasts were doing their best to protect them, but the sheer amount of Undead was ridiculous, eventually, they would all die. Discover stories with empire
There were too many things happening at the same time!
However, she couldn't really sit down and think, she had to act.
While one of her Yggdrasil Avatars went to save Gustav, that very Avatar summoned her Divine Beasts, who quickly began rampaging the place.
Within those minutes, half of the Undead in the entire arena were taking down, her Familiars were awfully strong!
Yet as long as those Underworld Gates remained there, the Undead quantity would never stop coming, and the bosses would only make it worse.
There were also two, or perhaps three more Demons waiting for them.
"Go! Hurry!"
Planta's body divided as it created a second version of herself, and then a third with this, she had all four Avatars in the field, including her main body as one.
Her second avatar immediately moved towards the audience, helping everyone, and keeping things stable, slaying Undead and healing the people.
Her third avatar went to visit the Underworld Gates, slaying the Bosses inside as it underwent Draconification.
And her last avatar rushed towards Elena, to help the people nearby and if necessary, to give her daughter some help.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
And lastly, she moved towards Mark, regrouping with the rest of the participants after she saw Melisa rescuing Erika and BlackEye.
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
As she moved towards them, she swung all three of her blades, devastating any Undead within the vicinity and sending hundreds of Sword Spirits to kill even more.
What were a swarm of hundreds of Undead were reduced to only a handful within five seconds!
"GRUOOHHH!"
As she drew closer, she saw Mark fighting four gigantic Giant Skeleton Chimeras at once, the rest of the participants looking tired and exhausted.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
He was doing fairly well, even against four of these enormous and strong foes, his defenses were very high, his flames burned through them, and his sword cut hrough them with ease.
However, they opened their draconic jaws, firing four draconic beams at once, pushing him back!
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
"Ugh…! Dammit!"
He quickly noticed that in the time he spent standing back up, the chimeras moved towards the participants he was protecting, trying to devour them all!
"NO!"
He spread out his phoenix wings, unleashing a devastating bombardment of blazing feather projectiles, managing to stop three.
But one slipped past his attacks, rushing towards an exhausted Melisa.
"Ah!"
Her barrier shattered instantly, as the giant claws moved down, aiming to tear her to shreds.
"MELISA!"
Mark's scream reverberated, only for a giant holy blade to appear above the skeleton chimera and then…
SLAAASH!
Slice it into two, three, four, five, six, ten, twenty, a hundred pieces in mere seconds.
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
The chimera was instantly defeated, exploding into ashes and disappearing.
Melisa gasped, as she saw her savior emerge, the giant blade that cut her foe coming back to her hands.
This was something new she had managed to create, by fusing her Sword Spirits and her Telekinesis into her swords, she could control them from afar and even increase their size and power temporarily.
"Lady Planta!"
She ran towards Planta, feeling relieved and hugging her.
"It's okay now," Planta patted her head. "Here, eat this for now."
She gave the girl one of her fruits, as she devoured it, recovering her energies instantly.
"A-Amazing- Uwaah?!"
Planta grabbed Melisa and ran to Mark and the rest, finally regrouping with everyone.
"I'm glad you're fine!"
Mark hugged Planta the moment he saw her, after finishing off the three skeleton chimeras with a rain of giant blazing spear-shaped totems.
Even while she carried Melisa, Mark didn't hesitate to hug Planta.
"I'm fine… That demon was tough though," she sighed. "Are you doing alright? Here, eat my fruits too!"
"R-Right, thank you!" Mark ate it instantly. "Too many things are happening, but at least knowing one demon is out of the picture is relieving… What do we do now though?"
"We should go save the Queen; she's taking way too long in there!" Planta said. "The other participants might be too weak to fight on their own and clear the Undead, so we need to move as a big group, alright everyone?"
"Yeah!" they all nodded in unison, no questions asked.
"Then let's go, we have to hurry!" Planta was growing nervous about many things, but she had to concentrate on what was in front of her.

While everyone was fighting and the chaotic atmosphere of the Arena only continued to grow more desperate, a large mass of shadows carried the kingdom's prince with him.
"Gyehehehe! I can't believe I really got him! Those undead worked really well to block them from reaching me!" laughed the demonic being. "I finally got a good hostage too! I am sure I'll be well rewarded!"
Within his insides, little Gustav was groaning in pain and confusion, trying to free himself from an endless pool of miasma and shadows.
"Stop with your annoying struggles! Accept your fate now, you stupid child! Or I'll make you suffer even more!"
Suddenly, countless sharp spikes materialized inside of the being's stomach, aiming to pierce the child's limbs to paralyze him.
"M-Mama…! Help meeee!"
As the boy cried and the shadows escaped, almost reaching the border of the barrier…
"STOP RIGHT THERE!"
FLAAASH!
An enormous beam of pure holy spiritual light reached the abomination, so bright and painful that it had no option but to step back and reveal its body!
"Gryyaaaggh! W-Who is it!?"
The demon's eyes widened when he saw Planta right behind him.
"It's her? HOW?!"
"You're going to let that child go, you monster!"
