TRUUUM!
Her words were completely absolute; with a mere thought, giant invisible hands crushed their bodies and pushed them down instantly. The Emerald Knights felt their bones breaking and their organs exploding; their armor shattered and exploded.
"Uuuagghh! My Maiden…!"
"Long live… the Emerald Maiden!"
"Her return… she will return to us!"
"Even if we dieeee!"
CRAAASH!
Before they could continue their pointless prattle, Camilla mercilessly killed them without even hesitating, something Emerlinda found shocking and a bit scary for such a young-looking girl.
She used her tremendous psychic power to crush them like bugs, making their bodies literally burst like balloons before the immense hydraulic press-like attack.
"W-Woah, Camilla, you're… strong…" Emerlinda swallowed saliva, shocked.
"I know," Camilla smiled cutely. "Brother trusted my strength, and he helped me grow as strong as I am now… Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine now… but Gofumina! She is still struggling against the corruption of the armor, and when I try to take it away, she's…!" Emerlinda tried to communicate.
"Oh! Got it…!" Camilla nodded. "Don't worry, leave it to me!"
Camilla extended her hands towards Gofumina's struggling body, only for green sparks of electricity to hit her hands.
However, Camilla resisted the attacks by wrapping herself in her powerful psychic aura and began to attempt to forcefully remove the equipment.
And yet…
"Unnggh…! R-Run…! It's no use!"
"Huh? But we can—
SLAAASH!
Out of nowhere, the emerald sword wielded by Gofumina moved on its own, or, well, wielded by her!
Camilla was almost decapitated, if it wasn't because Emerlinda pushed her back a second earlier.
"Hey! Why are you attacking us?!"
Emerlinda and Camilla stepped back as they saw the goblin girl slowly stand back up, glaring at them with a furious expression on her face.
Her eyes had turned completely green too, and the armor was growing large, crystal-like growths, wrapping around her body to reinforce her small stature.
RUMBLE!
And from within her body, a massive, emerald-colored, phantasmal, and ghostly aura surged, growing larger as the corrupted ghostly souls of the Emerald Knights and the Emerald Paladin flew into them, fusing with her aura.
The aura became gooey, made of nether slime, spreading everywhere around Gofumina, like a deadly acid; every plant or small animal was instantly consumed by it!
There were countless crimson eyes, tentacles, jaws, tongues, and other disgusting things from within the ever-growing slimy aura…
Nobody would have imagined such a little vessel could harness this much power.
And…
[The {Maiden of the Emerald Sea} smiles, saying she has found the perfect vessel for her mayhem!]
[She begs you two to please enjoy it as much as possible; it'll be delightfully exciting!]
[She cannot wait any longer! She must spread her body everywhere to let the world know her beauty and her delight!]
Even the entity behind all of this was surprised by the amazing find!
SPLAAASH!
Gofumina's monstrous, slimy aura expanded even further everywhere as Camilla grabbed Emerlinda, and the two rushed into the skies, flying high and close to Vlad and Chris.
"It's spreading through the forest!" Emerlinda panicked. "If it gets too far, it'll be detrimental to the entire life inside!"
"I don't think that's what matters now, though!" Camilla said. "We have to tell Big Brother about this!"
The two rushed towards Vlad, who was still too distracted fighting dozens of Dark Spirits with Chris. The two synchronized even more as they fought and battled, unleashing explosive shockwaves of elemental magic, slicing sword attacks that engulfed foes into deadly underworld flames, and explosive blood magic.
"How many corpses do we have so far?!" Chris asked, evading several attacks gracefully around the skies while shooting a dozen arrows made of light, exploding on the Dark Spirits and killing several on the spot.
At the same time, his trident moved around in the air, impaling his foes while releasing explosive lightning inside of their bodies for maximum damage.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"Probably around sixty or so!" Vlad said, as he was suddenly surrounded by roughly twelve more Dark Spirits, Frenzied and Silent, and the third new type.
"Gyehehehehe!"
Lunatic Dark Spirits!
These strange Dark Spirits were cunning and more intelligent, and also always laughed, were twice as big as the rest, and could control and coordinate the rest.
It always worked behind the other Dark Spirits, ordering them to attack and surround their foes, employing a great deal of different and strange tactics at that.
"Hmph!"
However, Vlas was simply built differently; with his two swords, he unleashed a barrage of powerful slashing attacks, cleaving and slicing through his foes no matter how big and strong they were.
"[Soul-Devouring Underworld Blade Arts]: [Soul-Cleaving Scythe]!"
Both of his swords combined with his Aura, resembling a massive scythe that harvested the lives of his foes, cleaving them into perfect halves within seconds.
SLAAASH! SLAAASH!
"[Shadow-Cutting Sword]!"
Then his entire body was encompassed by shadows, and so did his blades, turning into pure darkness; he rushed everywhere, moving at lightning speed while cutting his foes entire bodies.
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
"[Life-Draining Vampiric Blade]!"
And lastly, his two swords became completely red-colored, as his vampiric powers surged from his body as a mighty crimson aura, helping him rapidly drain the lifeforce of his foes for his own sustenance, allowing him to keep himself with high stamina for much longer.
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!
As this happened, Vlad and Chris noticed Emerlinda and Camilla approaching and also…
SPLAAASH!
The growing sea of emerald slime began to devour everything, including the Dark Spirits they were fighting, which melted away into the slime's interior.
"W-What the hell is that thing?!" Chris screamed loudly, shocked and horrified. "It's super yucky!"
"I-It's a green slime?" Vlad asked. "Wait, no, there's a person inside? This is… It's her Aura?!"
"Her Aura?! No way!" Chris muttered. "Ah! Emerlinda! Camilla!"
As they finally managed to regroup, the two learned of what happened.
All while the tentacles crept towards them, the sky was no longer a safe place.
[The {Maiden of the Emerald Sea} is rejoiced to see you!]
And Vlad realized that this wasn't a mere coincidence; something born from pure evil had arrived, interrupting what he imagined would be a peaceful hunting session.
