Loading... please wait.

The tiny glass humanoid figure fighting the giant demon dragon is named Alcazar Prestos.

I'm pretty sure that's the name of the old pervert that spied on Julia whilst she watered the garden I was in.

I haven't seen this character in a while. But his name certainly pops up everywhere regardless...

"Fwu fu fu..." (Alcazar)
He's menacingly giggling to himself as the floating orb-shaped vials around him are mixing together all sorts of eerie-looking substances.

The dragon turns around, lifts up its enormous tail and smashes it down onto Alcazar and his magical floating vials.

"Useless! Useless!" (Alcazar)
After the tail was moved, the tiny unperturbed glass figurine began gloating.

"I'm invincible! Fwahaha!!" (Alcazar)

"Dragon. Cool." (Furby)
Furby gave his opinion of Alcazar's opponent.

It does indeed look like a pretty cool dragon. Its scales are a beautiful shade of blue.

Guardian Flame Father (♂)
STATUS: HEALTHY
LVL: 450
HP: 39740/45805
INNATE ABILITY: FIRE
An ancient demon. It protects the final depths from being discovered by man.
It awaits the foretold arrival of a soul that battles with wood and mind magic.

Wh- what the hell, this thing is insanely powerful-

The dragon looked like it was preparing to launch another flame-based attack of some sort.

"Want, leave. Hot." (Furby)
Yeah, I don't think staying here would be a great idea. I nod at Furby.

My morbid curiosity has been more than satisfied. I'll leave this battle to the tiny glass old man.
Good luck Alcazar.

That said... in its description, it kind of sounded like that dragon is waiting for... me?

Furby turned around and began flying away with my body held by his claws.

I spun my head around 180 degrees like an owl and observed the enormous dragon as it was slowly disappearing in the distance.

A giant concentrated blue laser-like stream of flames spat from the dragon's mouth towards where Alcazar is.

As the dragon closed its mouth, I could see the shimmer of a tiny object flying towards its face.

When the tiny shimmering object hit the dragon-

*DOOOOOOM*

A flash of light filled the cavern we're in, followed by a giant mushroom cloud appearing where the dragon was stood.

(H- He nuked it?!)

Giant chunks of flesh flew past us as harsh winds produced from the shockwaves quickly reached us and launched Furby and me into the distance.

The power of the shockwave ripped some of the thinner parts of my wooden limbs off whilst the heat set several parts of my body on fire.

(W- water!)
As I crash into the ground I begin to produce water above me.

The water evaporates almost immediately before it can even reach my body.

(GUH!!)
I'm going to get done in by the aftershock of their battle at this rate!

I'll have to create the water right on top of the flames!

 

After several gruelling minutes, I finally stopped catching fire.

The aftermath of the explosion has finally settled down.

I quickly doused the last fire that was on my shoulder.
(Sigh... that was seriously dangerous...)

Was that ridiculous explosion produced by the thing that Alcazar was mixing in those weird floating vials?

That old pervert is way more dangerous then I gave him credit for.
What idiot sets off an explosion that large underground...

I look at the mushroom cloud that's slowly settling.
It doesn't look like there will be a cave-in, but I'd rather not risk staying around here any longer regardless.

Alcazar managed to make himself invincible by the sound of it too, so he probably survived that blast.

Time to get out of here before this whole place collapses or worse, that old pervert shows up-

*CRASH*
As I was gathering my thoughts, a small object came crashing into the cavern floor right next to me.

(Wha-)

A bunch of steam was emitting from the tiny little crater.

"Fwa ha ha... magnificent." (Alcazar)

Th- the worst possible character appeared right next to me!!

The idiot that just set off a miniature nuke underground got up from the tiny crater he was in.

A tiny glass humanoid figure brushed the dust off of his body and proudly looked upon the mushroom cloud that was still billowing.

"Will there even be any materials left of the body like this? What a blunder." (Alcazar)

Whilst he was occupied by his handy work, I quietly tried to back away from the tiny terrorist.

*Wood crackling sounds*
My wooden body really doesn't lend itself well to stealth though...

"?" (Alcazar)
The tiny old man shaped glass figure turned its head towards me.

I'm dead.

"..." (Alcazar)

D- don't mind me. Just a harmless sentient scarecrow passing through.

"A scarecrow?" (Alcazar)
He struck a pensive pose. 

"That expensive soul crystal..." (Alcazar)

Ah.

"Aren't you the scarecrow I had created for my garden?" (Alcazar)

"No. You must be thinking of a different scarecrow..." (Scarecrow)

Tsk- where's Furby, we need to get out of here!

I looked around and noticed Furby's body nearby sticking out of a steep hillside. His head completely embedded into it.
It looks like he was launched beak first into a wall.

(...)

Alcazar looked surprised to hear words coming from my body, but he seemed to quickly gather thoughts as he responded.

"Yes.... Yes you are! There's no doubt about it!" (Alcazar)

"So, this is the potential of a higher grade soul... you even learned to communicate with magic like me." (Alcazar)

"I've really created some ridiculous haven't I? Fwu fu fu." (Alcazar)

"What else are you capable of?" (Alcazar)
Alcazar curiously and carefully inspected my body from top to bottom.

"..." (Alcazar)
He suddenly paused as the face embossed into the glass figurine furled its eyebrows.

He's looking at the faucet that Elena placed on my groin.

Alcazar slowly began approaching me with an irritable expression on his face.

(Do- don't touch it... do you even need water?!)
I protested in my mind.

MAGIC SPEECH activated.
1 MP converted.

"T- this isn't what it looks like-" (Scarecrow)

When he finally made it under my faucet, he jumped up and grabbed hold of the outer end of my faucet.

Mana suddenly coursed through the entire structure of the faucet as Alcazar abruptly ripped the entire thing off of my body.

(AH-)

Alcazar angrily threw the dingy faucet onto the floor and began stomping on it with his little glass foot after he landed back onto the ground.

"WHAT IDIOT PUT THIS ON MY CREATION?!" (Alcazar)

Ah-

My faucet...
