[How can you be still alive?]
The hysterical roar of the forest banshee resounded throughout the mountain forest, causing the snow to fall wildly.
"Of course it's to inject the essence of my love into you, little cutie~"
Astr's voice was as sweet as honey.
With his hand, he fiercely pushed the entire syringe that was filled with dark purple liquid into the body of the Oak Banshee.
Then he turned over and jumped up lightly to quickly avoid the palms waved by the Oak Banshee of the forest, and landed steadily on the snow.
He carefully threw away the empty syringe.The purple potion that was like a living thing now has no trace left.
[You! What did you do to me?]
A feeling of extreme nausea surged from the body of the oak banshee.
The dark purple potion was like a flame thrown into boiling oil, instantly igniting the regeneration ability of the forest banshee.
Paints of various colours surged up like waves on her linen canvas-like skin, mixing into a filthy colour.
[Keal-improved version of the healing potion]
[Effect: Recover 150% of health at the cost of deformation of the whole body, loss of 80% of sanity, being forced into a state of madness, and the growth of cancer cells for a short time]
' Ah ~ how kind I am. ~ even willing to heal the monster that tried to kill me, and that is a precious potion I got from a gift. '
"It will just change your beautiful face a little bit, don't you mind?" Astr said while moving himself away from Oak Banshee.
Presumably, the oak banshee of the forest was also very moved.
But now they all came. Listen to her flute-like scream that is so sweet~
[Ahhhhhh!!!! ]
The oak banshee of the forest howled in pain, the sound waves shook the trees to pieces, and the snow whizzed into the air.
Blood trickled from Astr's ears, but he didn't care.
Astr looks like the planner of a drama, admiring the performance after he has successfully created it.
Big and small bulges appeared on the face of the Oak Banshee.
Countless dark mouths opened to the extreme, turning portraits of beautiful women into distorted "screams", emitting high and piercing screams like sirens.
Countless arms are waving wildly in the air, scratching at the trees and themselves, leaving a trail of tearing scars.
The rich, terrifying fear and life energy washed away from the oak banshee, and they overwhelmed Astr.
"Ah...so comfortable..."
Astr couldn't help but narrow his eyes.In a daze, he felt as if he had turned into wisps of colour, and he was dispersing into the sea.
The icy-blue pupils rotated slowly, like the bright full moon in the night, dripping cold and clear paint.
Even though he was not meditating, Astr could clearly see the colourful Ephemera gathering around him in groups, trying to greedily devour the rich energy.
Astr gracefully waved his hand, dispersing the vibrant ephemera. Capturing them effortlessly, they swirled and melded at his command.
After absorbing, Astr looked at the system status and thought to himself. 'I don't have much time now; I need to finish it fast'
The frantic body of the Oak Banshee stood in front of him. A bright red heart penetrated the surface and reflected in Astr's eyes.
"Bang bang, bang bang!"
The heartbeat echoed forcefully, casting a grease-like sheen on the vivid red surface.
'Gulp.'
Astr swallowed, and every cell in his body was thirsty, urging him to devour the heart.
At some point, the blood in both ears had stopped. The health points are slowly recovering, and the effect of the fusion skill [Inferno Resurgence] has ended.
But the erosion rate of Astr continued to soar.
"Pfft!"
Astr pulled out the blood-stained sword from his abdomen, just like the young King Arthur pulled out the sword from the stone that symbolised power and glory.
Blood spurted from the wound and then stopped quickly. Without any obstacles, I can recover faster than before.
The aura of a nightmare clung to the blade, distorting the surrounding space. An extremely terrifying pressure was released from Astr.
[The aura of nightmares?] The Oak Banshee of the forest noticed something, and she exclaimed in disbelief.
[How could you, a human, have the aura of nightmares?]
What responded to her was a flash of silver light.
Astr relied solely on his body instincts to easily cut off the hand of the oak banshee of the forest like a knife cutting through running water.
The residual limbs were flying, and the scarlet paint was poured all over Astr's body. But he ignored them all and allowed the blood of the oak banshee to flow through his cheeks.
At this time, Astr could only see that beating heart. Anyone who blocks his way will be killed.
Not far from Astr, the Canvasbane looked at Astr, who had come back from the dead.
There was a hint of surprise and excitement at the beginning, which gradually turned into trembling from the soul.
Echoes of her kind's screams resonated in her ears as she huddled into a ball, tremblingly peering through the gaps between her fingers at Astr, who relentlessly slashed through the oak banshee of the forest.
It's akin to experiencing an immersive rendition of "Saw."
'It's so terrible and cruel. He is a demon. No This guy is definitely a devil' A true nightmare creature was shouting in her heart with such fear.
"Puff, puff, puff! Puff, puff!" Astr kept waving his sword.
Every time he slashed the oak banshee, a surge of energy that made him extremely comfortable would flow out, and it was inhaled hungrily by his body.
[Increase in health]
[Increase in Erosion]
Some writings flashed vaguely in front of Astr's eyes, flickering like a TV with poor contact, making it difficult to see clearly.
"who cares!" Astr shouted in a crazy voice. He didn't take it to heart.
On the cute cheeks, stained red, the corners of the mouth were raised high, like a child in an amusement park. The steel sword swung up and down, turning completely red.
[I became so ugly. Ah, ah. It's your fault. I will skin you alive with your family members Ah Ah ah]
The Oak Banshee of the forest shrieked desperately, tearing herself apart in madness and futilely attacking the instigator.
Muddy paint kept washing out of her bulging face.
'This is the face created by that Lord. It is unique and extremely beautiful in this world.And now, it is broken by a human being.It became extremely ugly. Now there's no going back.'
For the first and last time, the Oak Banshee of the forest learned what regret and fear are.
In a daze, she felt like a plate of delicious pudding. In front of her stood the huge and terrifying figure of Astr, holding shining silver knives and forks in his left and right hands.
"I'm starting~" A soft and impatient voice sounded, and Astr raised the knife and fork and cut her in two.
When she was swallowed into the huge black mouth, the oak banshee, who was supposed to be a powerful nightmare creature, actually felt a bit of relief.
'Finally... it's over...' The extremely narcissistic Oak Banshee would rather die than endure her ugly face any longer.
[You have successfully defeated Boss of the Snow Oak Forest—Oak Banshee of the Forest]
[You get 60 experience points.]
[For reaching the "Heartbreak" ending, you will receive a special item called Broken Banshee Heart.]
[Warning! The erosion rate has increased to 68%.]
Fragmented words flashed in Astr's eyes, but he didn't see them clearly, and he didn't care.
His only focus was on the broken Banshee heart.
In the snow, the withered and broken face looked up at Astr, who was dripping with blue paint, and murmured in fear.
[Who are you... No human being can ever devour...The stuff related to nightmares..."]
Banshee received no response. A boot sole stained with thick paint and blood stepped on her face and kept walking forward.
A line of scarlet footprints continues to the lustrous heart. Astr stopped forward. He stared at the baby-sized heart with salivation and fascination and slowly stretched out his hand. When his fingertips touched the heart, the heart suddenly stopped beating.
As if it had been exposed to something terrible, the heart began to shrink and collapse. Many cracks quickly spread from the heart.
In just a few seconds, it turned into a crystal-clear, fist-sized hard heart, and it fell into Astr's hands.
This is the broken heart of the Snow Oak Forest boss, The Oak Banshee of the Forest.
