Chapter 1312: Emergency Quest
Chapter 1312: Emergency Quest
Within the depths of the forest's infected area, where the Miasmic Nest has formed, a large black cave laid, made out of the crystallization of miasma, deep and dark. On its deepest part, something rested, surrounded by countless creatures, monstrous Miasmic Beasts that were being constantly born from a pond made of pure liquid miasma. The beasts groaned and crawled out of the liquid, groaning, and quickly glaring at them.
""
They didn't speak, yet their sharp red eyes glared at these creatures, within seconds, the monsters immediately knew what to do, running out of the nest one after another. The entity, the origin of the nest and everything else had been resting for the most part, trying to complete its true form, but it has taken more time than it expected, Mana was rich here, but it would take a bit longer to achieve its final shape.
But perhaps that could be accelerated now, with the arrival of these beings, beings who had slain its children with ease, and had come here to do the same to them. It didn't even need to kill them or anything, as long as enough power, enough mana was released...
It might as well be just enough.
"Hahh..."
It glared into the skies through the hole in the ceiling of the caves, admiring the blue skies, and the bright sun, a being that was born out of pure chaotic miasma, its understanding of the world was much different than others.
To live was to infect, to consume, and to destroy... it surged from the very depths of their survival instincts. And as long as it could reach its final form, this entire world, and perhaps the one beyond this, would submerge into endless darkness.
"Heehh..."
A smile, mischievous, yet innocent, full of malice, yet pure.
Unaware of its own origins, it already wanted to devour the world.
(Sylphy's POV)
The groans and roars of the Miasmic Creatures reverberated across the forest and the plains as we saw a group of almost two hundred monstrosities appear, the moment their crimson eyes set themselves on us, they immediately rushed to fight us.
I could already tell that the only "desire" these things possessed was to consume, infect, and spread Miasma everywhere. In a way, it could be said they were the living representation of Miasma itself, the embodiment of this substance.
Just like some would call life itself the expression of the elements and the universe, these Miasmic lifeforms were the same, but of Miasma alone.
Miasma was strange, created out of decaying Mana, an element that isn't even corporeal, yet it becomes corporeal upon decaying, there are so many mysteries surrounding it, even today.
Perhaps this is the reason why I became an Alchemist, to uncover such secrets, not just of Miasma, but the world I've been reborn into.
Since I was a child that I was curious about everything, and Alchemy, the school of magic that experimented, moved, and investigated the true nature of life and magic was ideal for me.
This was a unique experience, instead of getting depressed, I should rejoice and confront these creatures, so I can learn more about them and the true nature of Miasma!
"ROOAAR!"
"They're coming! Get on your positions to fight!" father said, stepping forwards and staying by my side. "Sylphy, take the left with your friends, I'll go to the right with Felicia. We can't let a single one of them slip off or they'll get to the city, alright?"
"Got it!" I nodded.
As the beasts were within seconds of reaching us...
Ding!
[A Special {Emergency Quest} has been generated: [Defeat the Miasmic Creature Army Protecting the Miasmic Nest's Forest!]
[At long last you've reached the Miasmic Nest, situated within the very forest you once created to help life flourish on the first floor. Because of the imbalance of life and Mana Fluctuations, Miasma has accumulated here and created a Miasmic Nest, where dangerous monsters that spread an infection that kills all life or mutates it into hideous abominations emerge.]
[Now you face the Miasmic Nest Ruler's Army, constantly being created by their power over Miasma, the power of such creatures will continue to raise as the Miasma becomes even richer, the more Mana is given, the richer it will become.]
[To get to the root of the problem and finally end this, you must first defeat the Ruler's first army, one specifically forged and smithed out of the Miasma from its hands to kill you.]
[If you can't stop them now, then even Eden behind you could face a tragic end!]
[Defeat all Miasmic Creatures in front of you and don't let any slip away.]
[Quest Completion Rewards]: [???]
[Quest Failure]: [If Any Miasmic Beast Escapes]
[Time Limit]: [3 Hours.]
I even got a Quest, and it has a Quest Failure too? Interesting, I guess if I screw things up, I am not getting any reward to begin with.
Not like that'll happen with dad, Felicia, and my friends here though.
"Ignatius!"
"Got it!"
Ignatius fused into my Dragon Heart, pumping Spiritual and Draconic Energies through my body, synchronizing with my Spiritual Heart, I swiftly underwent perfect Draconification without any sort of time limit or cooldown, as my stats skyrocketed.
I summoned a secondary blade made out of my Divine Thunder Armament Skill, golden and overflowing with lightning, dual wielding it with the Skill I inherited from my brother, Dual Wielding Swordsmanship.
My Yggdragon Aura surged at the same time, the offensive type, increasing my firepower and physical strength and stamina even further beyond.
Crimson scales grew over my body, and holy light mixed with it, Alice and Naturia's powers also merged with me, their Spiritual Energies changing me.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"{Holy Draconification}"
My scales turned gold and white, my hair became blonde, my eyes silver colored, my appearance gained a holy aura to it, light surging as my flames became white and gold in
color.
"Sylphy...!"
For a moment, my father glanced at me in disbelief of the power I have achieved so far. He smiled, nodding, perhaps happy he could rely on his daughter.
"SHAAAH!"
The Miasmic Creatures were about to clash against us by the hundreds, and in that very
moment, dad and I charged forwards, like two blazing meteors, we charged against dozens of Miasmic Creatures at once, cleaving them and burning them all.
CLAAASH! CLAAASH!
