"Gaaaah" roared Gorb as he turned his two head around to see what had hit him. As he looked back he saw two translucent hands stabbing into his back. "What are these" he said as he looked back at me and try to grab at the hand. But as he does grab it, instead of feeling something solid he felt nothing. He looked back and saw his hand passing through it.
"What are these" he roared as he tried to grab it again and again. As he got distracted I began to use [Root control] and make the roots latch onto his legs. He seemed to not notice the roots since he was targeting the [Specter hands] that were stabbing him in the back.
"Blasted things" yelled Gorb as he tried to take the hands off his back.
I began to use [Field of Decay] once again and surround him and the entrance of the cave in in flowers. I look back at him and still see him still trying to take the hands out of his back and still not noticing what I was doing.
I begin to use [Petal Storm] and launch the petals into the cave. In a couple of seconds I could hear roars coming from inside and a couple specks of dust flying put. Which soon turned into a cloud of dust as it left the cave.
[The host has killed Demon Cyclops. The host has gained 150 exp]
[The host has killed Demon Cyclops. The host has gained 150 exp]
[The host has killed Demon Cyclops. The host has gained 150 exp]
It did this fifteen more times until it finally stopped. "I guess those guys were weak" I said as I looked back at Gorb, who still has not noticed what was going on. I begin to create more flowers around him and finally begin my plan.
I make the [Specter hands] dissappear and began to create a storm of petals around me. The storm began to pick up and I concentrated alot to hopefully make a new skill that I wanted that can kill Gorb in one shot.
***(Gorb pov)
These blasted blue glowing hands won't disappear. They aren't hurting me or anything but are just annoying. I continued to try to rip this hand off my back, but everytime I try to grab it my hand passes through it. "This blasted thing and that blasted creature. What even is it" I say as I try my hardest to get these blasted hands off my back.
As I try to get the specter like hands off my back I feel something was off. I don't know what it was that felt off but I really don't care. My attention is on these dumb hands.
Out of nowhere the hands began to disintegrate away "Did I best those hands?" After a couple seconds it finally dawns on me what made those hands disintegrate. I look around trying to find that flower faced person, but everywhere I look I couldn't find him. "Wait Gorb think if he isn't around you than he must be UNDER YOU" I say as I punch my drill hand into the ground with alot of force.
Due to the impact several nearby dirt and trees were launched into the air and as quickly as they went up they went down as quick. "Gah" I hear a noise in my head. I look around trying to see where the noise came from and after a couple of seconds I could see petals falling from the sky and soon a man falling down with a clumps of dirt on his body.
As I look closer I could see a flower on his face "Why did you do that" he said as he tried to get up but couldn't because of the weight of the dirt. The dirt had chunks of wood, dirt, and stone so I can see why he couldn't get up.
"I did it because I thought you would be underground" I said to answer his question. "Why would I be underground when you saw me in the air!"
I was going to refute but couldn't since he made a valid point. I had to counter it though so I did what anyone in my race would do and thay was to kill the guy. I took a step forward but as I did I felt something yanking on my foot and before I could process anything my body fell onto the flower faced man.
"I hope he is okay" I say as I got up. I looked at where he was at and saw nothing but broken roots and a crushed flower. "Yeah he is not okay. Dang it I lost a new servant, oh well I still have some troops back at the cave."
I then walk back to my cave and try to have a peaceful time.
***(Reds pov)
I reawaken in a empty space and could see several root creatures around me. "I'm back at my main body" I say as I remember what the contract space looked like.
"How did I get here again" I try to remember what happened the last couple seconds.
I was building up a bunch of petals to make a tornado that would engulf Gorb but was stopped when he hit his drill hand into the ground. The shock wave caused my cloak to open up revealing my chest. Which allowed the dirt and other things to hit me and interrupt my attack and causing me to fall down. I then had a talk with Gorb and as he took a step he tripped because of my roots that was attached to his legs and made him fall on me crushing my body.
As I finish recalling what happend to me a question popped into my head "How did that creature falling on me kill that root body of mine?"
As I ask that question a answer was given by the system.
[The host lost the root body due to the flower, that kept all the energy needed for the body to operate, being destroyed when the two headed creature fell onto the hosts body]
"So I basically have to protect my flower from now on. That's basically what I've been doing this whole time" I say as I look for a flower that was in hell.
After finding a flower I sent my consciousness into it. My surroundings change from a white space to one filled with red plants and two tents.
I create a root body and send my consciousness into the newly made body. It has the same features as the old one, the only difference is that this one is a bit smaller. I look around to see where the princess is at and see her sleeping peacefully in the tent not knowing the embarrassing death that had occurred.
"It's best to not let my gaurd down since that two headed beast will most likely go in a rampage once it figured out what I did to his comrades." I say as I set up more flowers around the tent sight and create more root creatures. I discovered something when I was setting up the camp sight with the first layers of flower. Turns out that this world generates more energy and magic for my flowers to absorb and all the mana is going to the Root creatures. So they have enough to last up to five months.
"You know what I'm going to lead an army to kill that two headed beast" I say as I remember the embarrassing death. I begin to create tons of root creatures to be exact about fifty deltas and five alphas. I could have made more but it would take to much time and I want to wipe that two headed creature as quickly as possible.
Just so if this root body gets destroyed I created another root body for me so I could go into the fray once again. "Let's move out" I say as I lead the horde of Root creatures to the direction of the two headed beast.
The stomps of both the alphas and deltas, mostly the alphas, created such a loud noise that some nearby creatures woke up from their sleep getting on guard or ran away. One of these sleeping creatures was the princess "Huh!" She said as she quickly got up and got into a fighting stance.
She quickly got put of her tent in time to see the horde that I created "What is going on" she said. She then quickly looked around and finally looked at the front of the horde seeing me leading it. "Are these his minions, but how did they get here. And did he get smaller?"
Seeing how I was getting farther away she quickly ran to me "What's going on?!" I look at her for a bit before I answered "Me and a creature that I met are going to have a little chat, that's all."
I continued leading the horde of Root creatures behind me as they push and destroyed the nearby plants. "Leading a army isn't little chat at all" she said trying to get an answer out of me.
She is annoying me at this point but I have to deal with this until we get to the Demon lords castle and hopefully get what I want.
I walk past her, which angered her. She was about to cast a spell of some kind but was stopped as several spectral hands picked her up and lifter her in the air. "Let me go!"
"Just stay there and relax on the little throne of yours" I say as more hands begin to head to her direction and began to push her back into the tent. Once she was back in her tent she tried to get out but the entire tent was soon coverd by roots.
"I don't want my future deal maker to die" I said as I lead the army of root creatures into the direction of the two headed beast.
As we make our way we come across several weaker creatures. I sent the deltas to hunt them down and those creatures were killed with only a single attack. Creatures from this place are known to be tough and invincible, but why are the ones I find weak. They are even weaker than the one eyed creatures I killed.
We continued marching and finally stopped when we were at the cave. I could see the same cracks in the ground as well as two out of the three one headed creatures that were turned to stone. The other one appeared to have turned to dust or was destroyed when Gorb or whatever his name was, when he slammed his drill hand into the ground.
I look and see my dead body was missing. I look around and see it infront of the cave torn apart. "Well I now know where it is" I say as I send five deltas in to confirm Gorb was there and if he was lead him out. As the deltas were doing that I began to prepare for our fight by making everything around become coverd in flowers.
The flowers were a mix from the regular ones and the Decay ones. When I was done the flower spread about one and a half miles long. I would have gone further but there appeared to be a distance that the seeds could travel.
And all I had to do now was wait, which didn't take long.
"GRAAAGH."
I hear the mighty roar of a beast that was anger and soon two deltas came out of the cave. With another one being thrown out.
"Who dares disturb me in the time of mourning!" Gorb said as he got out the cave with two deltas in his hand, completely destroyed. His gaze than landed on me.
"You! I thought I killed you!"
