Novel Full Chapter 609 It’s FINALLY Over...
—–
Rita arrived just in time, her powerful magic attack blasting a huge hole through the Ghost Dragon. Without wasting any more time, Mark and I started attacking it with our swords!
“[Infernal Phoenix Blade Arts]: [Soul Burning Slash]!”
“[Heroic Legendary Sword Arts]: [Divine Sword Slash]!”
SLAAAAAASSSSH! SLAAAAAASSSSH!
Both of our combined attacks reached the Ghost Dragon at once, slashing through its entire body, and dividing its mass of souls into two perfect halves!
“GRUUUUAARRGGHHH…!”
The aberrant Ghost Dragon screamed in agony, both of its halves were quickly engulfed on Golden Flames and Infernal Phoenix Flames, destroying thousands of souls every second.
The mass of souls that the Ghost Dragon had become weakened further with every soul that was destroyed, its two halves barely managed to unify, while crawling away pathetically.
“Oh no, you won’t!” Lily roared, suddenly appearing out of nowhere, and raising her huge hammer, crushing the Ghost Dragon several times. “GANG ON IT!”
“ALRIGHT!” We roared in unison, we started punching, kicking, slashing, stabbing, and blowing the monster several times, without stopping.
It felt almost nasty…
But we were all tired of Thanatos’ bullshit, so there was no mercy!
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRAASH! CRAAASH! CRAAAASH!
“GRUUUAAAARGHHH… Y-YOU… ACCURSED… MORTALS…!”
With those last words, the entity finally, FINALLY, died!
“PHEW…”
We all dropped over the ground, finally without sensing any more threats, we relaxed for at least a few seconds, our bodies went back to their smaller forms, this included my draconic form, Mark’s huge phoenix form, and Lily’s titan form.
My evolution helped a lot but… Without everybody else’s help, I doubt we would had been able to accomplish all of this.
I’m grateful to have such reliable friends at my side.
“Lady Planta! There’s no time to rest! We have to see if the city folk was affected by the toxin!” Acorn reminded me, as I quickly nodded. “Wait a bit though!” I quickly ran towards my Familiars, they were barely alive. “You poor things… You fought really well!”
I quickly dropped my blood sap over their mouths, feeding them this healing elixir, which seemed to work several times better with my Familiars.
They slowly drank it one after another, as they instantly felt better, although still covered on scars, they regained their energy.
“Meeeheee!”
Belle quickly started licking my face, while the rest of my familiars seemed just as happy, licking, biting my hair, and sniffing me a bit.
“I’m glad you’re all alright… Ugh, we need to go back to the city, quickly!” I rode Belle with everybody else, as we swiftly made our way there.
Lily opened the big stone walls she created, and Jenny started to quickly absorb any other toxin left behind rapidly. We moved to where everybody was taking refuge, finding them alive.
However, they weren’t really well. Most of the people was groaning on the floor, unable to move. Some resisted the toxin better and were walking around, bringing any medicine they could find.
Richard joined us on the way, feeling shocked.
“Cough… Ugh, it is beginning to affect me too! But this is bad… This toxin is that monster’s last gift…” Richard sighed.
“Father!” Brisingra ran towards her father, the King, who was sitting over a bed inside a small tent. The guards were happy to see her, but were just as sickly.
“M-My daughter… you’re alive?!” The king coughed sickly. “Is the monster… vanquished?”
“It is! It was really hard… He summoned the Demon King himself! And then that damn arm of his became another monster, and then another! We never had a time to relax…” Brisingra cried.
“O-Oh…” The King was left taken aback. “But this… Cough… That monster left behind this toxin… Everybody is being greatly affected, the children and the elderly are the most affected… Richard! Call him, tell him to find some sort of cure… please!”
“Don’t worry, it won’t be only on Richard, dad!” Brisingra smiled confidently.
“We’re here to help!” Acorn said. “I have healed many sicknesses before! I won’t fail this time either. Lady Planta, please help me out! Richard too!”
Acorn seemed blazing with confidence and conviction.
“Okay then!” I nodded with a smile. “I won’t let that Demon King take any more lives from us…”
“I-I am blessed to have… such reliable allies…” The King coughed. “Ungh…”
“F-Father, hang in there!” Brisingra cried. “How can we make the cure?!”
“We first need to test if simpler medicines work!” Acorn said. “I’ve readied a couple of them, King, please take them!”
Acorn feed the king a couple of medicines, but none seemed to work, even the strongest of tonics, or A Rank Elixirs. At the end, we needed to make a special cure.
This disease was called “Necrotic Disease” and was caused by undead pathogens made into that black gas. It didn’t affect us players at all, but NPC were really weak against it.
It seemed that Brisingra, Acorn, and Nieve were unaffected due to their strength, but Richard was already coughing blood, it was really bad!
“How about we use these?” I asked, showing Acorn the black colored jewel fragments. “I remember we used the cores of miasmic monsters back then to solve that disease as well!”
“R-Right!” Acorn nodded. “Maybe that could actually work! Let’s try that!”
Like that, with Acorn and Richard’s help, and Mark, Rita, and Lily’s assistance, we started to make a cure. We mixed various materials, most of them from Fafnir, the dragons, and the undead.
The King offered himself as our test subject, and we tried four different iterations of the elixir we made hurriedly. If it wasn’t for Acorn’s amazing alchemy skills and my Alchemy Spirits helping us out, it wouldn’t be possible to make this so quick.
And at the fourth iteration of the elixir…
“Hm? Oooh?!” The King suddenly stood up from the bed, feeling revitalized. I used my Eyes to quickly find out the necrotic pathogen trying to eat him up from the inside disappeared completely, as if it was purified! .𝙘𝙤𝙢
“The Fourth Iteration Worked!” Acorn celebrated. “I never thought that adding the ashes of purified undead bones would work!”
“Alright, let’s mass produce these right away! We won’t let anybody die!” I nodded.
