Chapter 917: Crush Them All!
-----
Erika seemed to have a plan, and I wanted to believe in her. As I assembled my Familiar troops around the vicinity, well, the surviving Familiars, ready to attack, she prepared while explaining to me. Her body began to change, spreading her roots and branches everywhere across the land, piercing the floor.
"Remember when I overran that abandoned city with the guy that had plotted my death? I don't remember his name but that time I expanded my body all over the place and caught him!" She said. "Since then, I've been practicing my Nature Spirit Abilities more and using them along magic and skills! I think I can expand myself all the way to their roots and attack them."
"I see, so you intend to attack their roots so they can't easily regenerate back. But what about the barrier?" I asked.
"The barrier is part of them, actually!" Erika said. "Heheh, I am surprised you haven't noticed. But my Spirit Eyes easily saw through their hidden area. Those tree's roots are spread around a special circular formation. There are gigantic masses of Spirit Crystals being used as advanced runes for the creation of such barrier. Although it seemed of Spiritual Nature, it was fueled with Demonic Energy."
"Such a thing...?" I asked in surprise. "I guess I can't really see absolutely everything. There are certain things that other, different eyes can detect better. Very well, let's go with that then. Elizabeth, can you imbue into Erika your Holy Light powers?"
"Of course! Stand still Eri~!" Elizabeth nodded, enchanting Erika with a flash of holy light. "{Angelic Spirit's Blessing Magic}: {Holy Light Spirit's Veil}!"
FLAAASH!
A veil of light encompassed and then fused into Erika's body, making her glow brightly, her long pink hair had gained a golden hue, and her eyes were also unleashing bright, golden light.
"Ooh, this is ideal! Nice!" She smiled confidently. "Alright, I'm going! Wish me luck!" She gave me a kiss and hugged Elizabeth before disappearing, digging the ground below.
"Once we get Erika's signal, we will attack from all sides to overwhelm the Ancient Treants!" I commanded my Vampire Spirits and the Familiar Generals, who all nodded. "Anna, Allan, remember to not step out of the safe barrier. My Spirits and Familiars will take care of you, just shoot things from afar. This is not a battle you're ready for yet."
"W-We understand, big brother!" Allan nodded.
The Vampiric Spirits, led by Eleanora, unleashed a flurry of elemental attacks of all kinds. Explosions of light and draconic flames from Eleanora, Psionic Waves from Azahuk disrupted the Demonic Trees minds and made them even dumber, while he absorbed their mental energy, making them slower. Everyone else used this opportunity to quickly decimate several of them on the spot.
Elizabeth flew down from the skies, having undergone Spirit Fusion with her Holy Dragon Spirit, and transforming into a half-holy dragon maiden, her hammer shining with the brightest brilliance of her powers.
"RAAAH!"
BAAAMMM!!!
An explosion of light engulfed two Demonic Trees at once, their entire bodies incapable of taking all the holy light, exploding into pieces on the spot. She was attacked by a swarm of tentacles, which she fended off with a barrage of swords of light.
At the same time, the Demonic Trees were panicking more and more, their bodies swarmed by all my familiars, several of them burning away through holy light, as I swiftly switched the elements of their bestowal to light once I realized they were Demonic Trees, mostly immune to most fire attribute magic.
As this happened, I swiftly stepped into battle, three of these titanic behemoths greeted me, firing laser beams from their countless eyes. I evaded their blows swiftly, transforming into my Vampire King form and changing my appearance drastically.
Wielding Gluttony, I impaled their bodies a thousand times each in mere seconds, moving at such speeds not even I could believe thanks to the transformation's effects.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
"Who's next?! Come at me!"
I wasn't going to let Erika's efforts go in vain.
