After only twenty-five minutes of advancing, three hundred plant monsters were already taken care of. But not without casualties, many of my Familiars ended dying though. Even as high as their stats were, they still could risk getting overwhelmed and ganged by many monsters, ultimately dying.
I could tell that the one controlling the plants was slowly trying to pick my summons away and accumulate kills like this.
But that wasn't going to work, not at all! I still had a few aces below my sleeve, but for the sake of the element of surprise, I'll save it for later. I want to surprise Lilith when she sees that.
"I feel so strong! Did I level up a lot? I just attacked monsters with my golden blade spell!" Anna said in surprise.
"I shoot arrows but only the c rank died when I shoot them a lot." Allan analyzed.
"Well done, you're steadily leveling." I nodded. "And what about me...? Oh, I gained six levels out of this? Not bad."
This carried me to Level 10 now. 190 more levels to go for max level... Quite the long grind, but it could be worse. And it will get worse as I keep Ranking Up, can't be helped.
"Anyways, let's hasten the process..." I noticed almost a hundred Giant Treants approaching, which were leading armies of smaller plants, at least two or three hundred more. Looks like the leader was now trying to put the heavy hitters as tanks, not a bad strategy. "You have a lot of units yourself; I admit it... But can you do this? {Familiar Element Bestowal: Fire}"
FLAAASH!
A wave of fiery flames covered all my familiars. In a mere second, they gained an additional fire element to their elemental status. And those that were already fire element received a boost to their own, making it double as effective.
[You have enchanted all Familiars with the {Aura of Fire}!]
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!
Her swarm of sharp weaponized spirits slashed and shredded dozens of plant monsters at once. They were unable to get closer to her before her Dream Dragon Puppet unleashed its Dream Flames Breath, not only spreading fire, but fire that consumes the soul by entrapping them into painful glimpses of dreams.
She also had her black knight puppet cutting anything remotely closer with his black blade, and the puppet caretaker repairing the broken doll spirits and commanding them.
"Forget about inviting our friends, this place was made for us!" Elizabeth was also letting herself be consumed by the thrill of leveling, crushing anything at across her path with her giant hammer.
Her other spirits also were around, mostly the ones Ellergest inherited to her, as her own spirits are more supportive than anything. The Holy Dragon had become much bigger and mightier, fierily burning his path through, while the rock mountain turtle was now a walking behemoth, spinning and crushing his foes.
Meanwhile, I finally decided to step into battle myself after commanding everything, greeting four Giant Abyssal Treants myself to test my power against A Rank Monsters. I had Gluttony in one hand and in the other, Dominus, blazing with demonic flames.
"OOOHH!"
The Treants quickly directed their eyes at me, as they unleashed many darkness attribute spells to stop me. Shadow bullets, dark tentacles, curse chains, I broke through them with ease, swinging both of my weapons together as I quickly landed on the forehead of one of the Treants.
"{Spear Mastery}: {Exploding Spear Attacks}!"
Using my spear mastery techniques, I unleashed a barrage of explosive strikes, my Ki flowing into each attack, making them combust into explosions inside the Treant's face. It didn't took even three seconds before the A Rank Monster exploded into countless pieces of wood, leaving behind a huge spirit orb.
A-Rank Spirit Orbs!
"I'll be taking this, thank you every much." I grabbed it, as the other Treants and plants surrounded me. "Alright, no need to be so desperate, you're all getting your turn of dying by my hands."
