Looking at its poison resistance with his Dragon Eye, when the Evil Dryad got hit with poison, it will regenerate its health half from the total poison damage.
"Snowy! As usual, protect the girls! The rest of you, let's kill this one!"
The first attack launched by Arlan with his Fire Bird. 30 fire birds shot toward Evil Dryad which some of the bird blocked with leaves from Thousand Leaves Cutter. Some of the bird still manage to hit its body.
"Lili, use Light Arrow magic! Sukki and Nomy, when its start to attack, use both of your barrier! Dya and Sally attack with everything you got!"
""Yes Master!!""
"Light Arrow! Enhanced Magic!"
""Magic Barrier!!""
"Fire Storm!"
"Thousand Leaves Cutter!"
With the chain attacks from every single magic from the spirits, Evil Dryad is forced into defensive stance. After barrage of magic attack, finally all the magic is on cooldown and Evil Dryad able to hold on from all various attacks.
Not letting it get some distance, Arlan rushes toward Evil Dryad. With some enhancement from the Light, Fire, and Earth element, and his own enhancement, he charges toward Evil Dryad.
Evil Dryad saw Arlan closing in and start making a gesture to use magic. The magic is Root Binder. Several roots show up from the ground. It was like predicting where Arlan about to steps on.
Right before the root shows up, Arlan make a zigzag to avoid all the roots. None of the roots are able to bind him. As soon as Arlan near Evil Dryad, he aims at its neck. It was a success hit but Evil Dryad wouldn't dead just from that.
The dryad's head was cut off but its body still moving around to avoid Arlan and suddenly the head regenerated on its own.
"This is quite troublesome...."
Seeing Arlan has a tough time fighting the Evil Dryad, the girls could only prayed for him.
"Alright!"
The moment he speaks, a doppelganger appeared beside Arlan. Right after he uses the Doppelganger skill he drank mana potion and uses the skill again until 5 more doppelganger appeared.
Of course, Evil Dryad won't wait for him to use more skill when 1 doppelganger appeared so it tries to attack him but was blocked by the other spirits.
6 Arlan appeared on the battlefield. With that many of him, every single doppelganger starts using the same magic, Fire Bird. With 150% damage output and 30 fire birds on each doppelganger, they launched the fire birds toward Evil Dryad.
"Yosh, it worked! Alright, attack at the same time!"
All the doppelganger charged toward Evil Dryad with the same weapon and same enhancement and start slashing the Evil Dryad over and over again until the doppelganger killed by Evil Dryad with its Thousand Leaves Cutter and its Raise Undead.
Evil Dryad is so weakened and in the brink of its death when it finally use its summoning magic. Evil Dryad already took some distance from Arlan so he couldn't interfere with the summoning magic.
As the summoning magic finished, 2 creatures spawn right in front of Evil Dryad. It was 2 Undead Beetles.
He saw the opportunity for the girls to help him so he calls them.
"Alright, Musha, Misha, take care of those beetles, please! But be careful!"
"Ah! Alright!"
"Yes, Big Brother!"
Undead Beetle is a monster 100 times bigger than a normal bee, no, it is more like a hornet. With its big body, they are still able to fly around. While it was a beetle, they can spit acid from their mouth and shot needle from their butt.
Snowy, the ice spirit, follows the girls to protect them. Not just Snowy, Nomy also asked to help the girls since the needle is physical attack.
"Master, those beetles can shoot 30 needles in 3 seconds!"
"And they fly around too fast!"
"Its fine, with just that speed, Musha and Misha will be able to catch up with it. The problem is when the Evil Dryad got weakened"
"What about it? It is already weak!"
"No, when it is on its weakened state, it will going rampage and has short delay when using magic"
"That...."
"Yes, we have to be quick and precise in evading and attacking"
Right after Evil Dryad finished its summoning magic, its body covered in dark magic energy and no longer in defensive mode. It will attack everything in front of it and if it got hit.
The beetles stayed around Evil Dryad so Musha and Misha don't have any chance getting close at the moment but Arlan already thought of a plan to separate them.
While Arlan preparing his plan, he asks the spirits to start attacking them. First is Sally with its Firestorm magic combined with Sukki's Dark Magic which enhanced the fire magic itself to become fiercer and hotter.
The flame which after combined with dark magic, became darker and bigger since 2 magic elements became 1. Without proper control, this kind of magic could go rampage uncontrollable and eventually swallow the user.
But since the one that controlling the magic are spirits with their respective element, they easily control it and aimed it at Evil Dryad and the beetles.
Right before the Black Firestorm hit Evil Dryad, a wall shaped like triangle rose in front of the Evil Dryad and split the Black Firestorm and hit the beetles instead which make them separated for a split second.
In that split second, Arlan uses his Fire Bird and Elemental Barrier Magic to separate them further than before and finally make the big room divided for 2 battles between Arlan and 5 spirits versus Evil Dryad and Cat-kin siblings and Snowy against the beetles.
Seemingly confused of what just happened, the girls took that chance to attack the beetles. Since the beetles try to find a way to get back to Evil Dryad's side, they were hit by the girls, Musha and Misha.
Not letting the beetles to counterattack, the girls keep attacking the beetles with the help of Ice Spirit, Snowy. They all three work together while on the other side of the battle, Arlan is facing the Evil Dryad.
MP usage is not that much since he only uses 2 magic after replenish his MP before. Looking at Evil Dryad's weakened state and separated from its summoned monster, he close the gap and swing his sword as soon as he gets closer. The spirits help him as they all start preparing various magic toward Evil Dryad.
"Nomy, block her escape path! Lili, use your Blinding Light magic from behind me!"
With 2 more magic that Arlan asked, a wall appeared behind Evil Dryad, not just the wall, but the ground also hardened so she won't escape from the ground. On the other hand, Lili, the Light Spirit, uses Blinding Light magic as Arlan's instructed her. The timing for both of the magic is on point which makes Arlan easier to attacks Evil Dryad from the front.
He held sword on his right hand and magic on his left hand. On his left hand is the fire bird magic and gradually creating more and more fire bird around his body. The moment he closes the gap, there's already 50 fire birds around him.
As the blinding light runs out, Evil Dryad realized what just happened. Although she tries to run, her path already blocked with wall and hardened ground so she couldn't teleport using the root. When Arlan gets close, that is when she realized everything is too late.
When Arlan gets close, he launches his Fire Bird magic toward Evil Dryad at the same time use his elemental barrier with 7 layer barrier, its mean he keeps casted the Elemental Barrier magic for 7 times. The Fire Bird soon reaches Evil Dryad and exploded on the spot.
Arlan is so close to Evil Dryad but since he used Elemental Barrier to protect himself, he escapes unscathed.
Finally, Evil Dryad was killed, the only thing remain from its body is a Magic Stone as big as a hand. The beetles also killed easily by the girls since its level not that different from the centipede's level.
"Sis Mu! We did it! Yay!"
"Yes! We did it! Ah! Arlan!"
"Good job girls, I know you can do it! The spirits too, thanks for your help!"
"Yes Master!"
"It's not a big deal!"
"Of course!"
"Reward me, Master!"
Hearing the "reward", all the spirits ask for it one by one. The reward is simple, with just mana, they satisfied.
After collecting some black honey from the beetle's corpses, a door appeared from the mist where the Evil Dryad appeared when they enter the room before. Behind the door there is a staircase to a lower floor. At this point, they continue their exploration.
