2103 Rebuilding Her Army II
The bandit that had a corrupted Grafts inserted into his body suddenly spasmed as he transformed slowly into a Leshy. The skin that was once that of a human is now transformed into that of a tree bark. The head also turned tree like as numerous roots covered his face. The only difference to that of a normal Leshy is that there are numerous eyes in the head.
"My queen! You have finally returned. Thank you for reviving me." The Leshy stated as it could remember vague memories of its past life.
The Black Fairy Mavros was delighted that the beings that she revived had memories of their past. Even though she manipulated those memories of only having loyalty to her, the Black Fairy Mavros praised herself for being so powerful that she could bring out the memories hidden in the depths of each soul. It will not take long for her to revive her army, but she also knows that not all of these humans will be able to host them.
"We can just take over a human village should we lack ingredients. We can also try using some humanoid monsters as well since that could increase the combat power. Dorn, capture some humanoid monsters for me. Ones with intelligence are preferred but do what you can with the area we have." The Black Fairy Mavros stated as she was already finished transplanting all of the Leshy Grafts onto the bandits.
The bandits could only resign to their fate as they slowly became fodder for the revival of the Corrupted Leshy under the Black Fairy Mavros. Not all Corrupted Leshy managed to revive as some needed more power than others. About a third of the bandits died and became mummified due to all their life force being stolen. Some did not have compatibility with the Corrupted Leshy they were transplanted with and just died.
"My queen, I have only seen one such monster that is humanoid and has intelligence." The Elder Dryad Dorn stated as she returned with a monster that has a humanoid body but a head of a horse.
"Such thing would be sufficient for General Eiche. The body of this humanoid beast should be able to handle his immense power. All the other male meat bags dried up before his consciousness could take over. Place that thing in the magic circle." The Black Fairy Mavros stated, and the Elde Dryad Dorn complied.
The humanoid monster called the Stallionoid could not resist as it was easily captured by the dryad. It was a horse monster that evolved due to attaining wisdom, but it was not wise enough to run away when it encountered the Elder Dryad Dorn. The Black Fairy Mavros directly transplanted the Grafts of her most trusted general into the head of the monster which made it faint.
The Black Fairy Mavros thought that it was a failure as there was no reaction even after ten minutes, but the body of the humanoid monster started to morph to that of a tree. The Leshy that now has the appearance of the Stallionoid awakened but its eyes were now filled with true wisdom and not one that has just attained it. The Leshy looked at the Black Fairy Mavros and vowed to her in reverence even though the latter was only like a foot tall.
"Hail, my Queen Mavros! I thank you for reviving me once again." The Elder Leshy Eiche stated as he had no qualms that he was revived from a monster since a body is a body. The body of this monster was also more powerful than a normal human which is why it could withstand his immense energy as well.
