The Last Battle (2)
"Let's go then, it may even be our last destination, mm, wouldn't that feel nice?" Yun Beishang suddenly uttered out in a low tone and somewhat soft, drawing attention from all over as they didn't expected him to talk, let alone in such a way. Some random players were so tired that they didn't care who they were talking to, autopilot-like responding to him in a casual manner, "Mn, it should be very nice, let's go!"
"That's right! The Guiding Voic-" Then, the random player dude from before exclaimed once again after an initial shock, becoming overjoyed as he tried to pass on some of the orders they were basically all given by them. Only to be stopped by Yun Beishang as he rolled his eyes and began moving at exactly the maximum Movement Speed that they could reach, "Oi, drop it. Just move on to the next scene, go!"
With Yun Beishang's somewhat cold, powerful but not unfriendly tone in his voice, he took the lead of everyone once more without even a single thought about it as the incredible lot from the surviving players only needed 3 seconds to react before following his tail like good puppies.
STOMP! Step, step, stepstep, stepstep, stepstepstep, stepstepstep!
From the several thousands of players remaining, they all took their weapons into their bag's storage and began running at full capacity but without detrimentally exhausting themselves, as they were no longer afraid of being reached by a huge damn thing that ignited the fire of utter fear from the bottom of their hearts, but running towards the possible end of this ordeal at last!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Without a furthermore wording of sorts, all Journeyers rose to the action of moving to their fastest speed towards the direction marked by the Guiding Voices, and for some like Baston to even Selina and Tong Tao or Yin Xiong, to where the random player dude from before pointed at just now.
. . .
Every other battle had now ended with at last, with a very different start and finish, but besides the tiniest amount of rest that the surviving Journeyers, heroes of Main Kingdom and whose situation and effort was sympathized by the viewers outside of the battlefields; there was little to no rest nor time to contemplate as the Guiding Voices directly urged the Journeyers to move once more.
Like that of a never ending amount of hungry wolves that were looking for any kind and piece of bloodied meat, the Guiding Voices guided and even flirted with Journeyers somewhat effectively without making much of the unwanted impact, managing to cheer up all Journeyers 'equally'.
There is basically no rest, going on another exhausting trekking through the woods of the White Snake Forest, this time without any singly trap on or around the road to eat away their minds, for as the rest of the previous battles were already perfectly enough to have done just that with their previous happenings.
The White Snake Forest was much different than the Azure-Drake Forest, the first most obvious, notorious reason being that of their trees, flora and fauna and even the dirt no longer looking like made in heaven or by celestials. It looked plain and ordinary in terms of aspect and colors, but even then, the beauty that it could show in the day wasn't overshadowed during the night.
With some fireflies being basically around, everywhere, in small groups of dozens every few half a hundred meters or so. As they flew around the Journeyers that were incoming with fast Movement Speed and in a plethora or like a flock as it was so well organized without the need of any command, even mentally.
And as they flew around them agilely and flawlessly but smoothly at the same time; their light emitted was so strong that it could encompass an area of darkness of 30cm in diameter and turn it into a glowing and visible spot in the night. Such beauty, left the overly spent Journeyers dumb for a while when they first encountered them, but then turned numb to them once more for as it was nothing compared to what they've witnessed and created for the last hours.
But as time passed, and even looking somewhat fated-ish, the fireflies seemed to have made a path towards somewhere and that somewhere was naturally exactly where the Journeyers were moving on to.
In this manner, there was naturally the opening of these Journeyers who have not only experienced something that they shouldn't have had to deal with for the rest of their lives, but even did so in an extreme fashion and to extreme levels. Yet, they all had the mental fortitude and incredibly mind capacity to endure it, even if just temporary.
Hence, as Journeyers began playing around with some fireflies, them being even Baston, Selina and the likes included except for none other than Yun Beishang; the viewers that gazed upon the TV screen were somewhat becoming calmed down. Seeing these terrible 'monsters' and how they were doing just their best to 'save another world' for as corny as it sounded, reminded the viewership that they were simple humans too.
There were normal trees, normal grass and normal animals all around; such obvious scene made all viewers enter a state of dummy comprehension as they 'silently forgave' as the poor people inside the game instead, no longer appearing vile and aggressive to no ends. Basically, those viewers stopped being bitches, or Karens.
If anything, the only thing to be noticed from the White Snake Forest was the curiosity that anything of its contents was larger than usual. Fore example, grass grew much more than normal grass and even some well taken care of grass that was yet still eaten and stepped on endlessly by any animals.
Trees would be sometimes thinner than usual, but with most beautiful carvings and being a few meters taller than normal trees compared to even back on New Earth. And animals had a lankier appearance, while they were not deformed nor mutated, let alone evolved. It was simply as if being born in the White Snake Forest and being brought up there would grant these few characteristics to all of the previously mentioned and furthermore.
Contrary to their previous estimate, the players arrived at their destination, more or less, after 15 minutes of fast and nimble movement through the woods.
The place that they arrived now wasn’t the same as before, just trees and lots of different flora while most flora must have been asleep or hiding, thinking of hunting and whatnot when there was suddenly a large group of primates moving around in their beloved forest.
Instead, they arrived at no other place but than in the middle of the entire White Snake Forest. Previously, they fought at a certain area of the forest and naturally, they couldn’t really tell where the fuck they were, it was even so for Yun Beishang who never wandered around these places at all before.
Once arrived at this center of the woods after 15 minutes of moving at such high speed, since after all they were all teleported quite close at the end, their first sight was a 1,000 meter radius area infested by 1.5m more or less tall white flowers.
These white flowers had a green stalk below their most beautiful asset of themselves, flowers whose petals were at least 33 cm thick and 60 cm long, with a black pistil of at least 100 millimeters in radius.
From where the players made their entrance, one by one and as not everyone could all get in at once, 300m away from them, was a beautiful woman.
But not really a ‘woman’ per say, as she was instead… a Dryad-looking woman instead!
She was sitting with her legs folded underneath herself, and as if activating a cutscene for all the rest of the Journeyers around and those viewers feeling their hearts and minds gasp as their breath was taken away by this beyond beauty being; to Yun Beishang, it was more of a normal set of actions as a reaction when seeing the people she’s been waiting for to appear at last.
But she not only did not treat her as enemies, spoke some blabbing words to either insult or to appear pitiful as she couldn’t be more obvious to be at the same side as with the Demon Race.
She raised her left arm, then morphed her left handed fingers into a 3 cone-like fang-claws appearance, from which each of them released a translucent white and bluish energy, gathering at the center of her left palm.
The energy merged altogether onto a feeble looking female Demon in the same translucent color from before, white and bluish-like, as well as with 2 immense horns but only visible from her collarbone to all the way to her hands down below at her hips.
Needless to say, two humongous breasts could be seen from atop the Dryad looking strikingly beautiful woman. The female Demon had a pair of rhombus-like, completely dark eyes, and she was just more than extremely devilishly gorgeous herself.
In a way, it was a perfect match between gentle and soft but graceful beauty and dark, brusque and tempting beauty.
The Dryad looking woman lowered her head then closed her eyes before starting to murmur at a slow speed and then at fast speeds for tens of seconds.
While she was doing so, Journeyers realized that exactly 500 m behind her, lies a circular figure that is 40m tall and 15m thick kind of a capsule and tower-like structure. Naturally, they and everyone else seeing this outside the Journeyers at present could deduce this to be the core of all Communications Devices structures from before.
Understanding, the players prepared themselves at once to rush and immediately destroy it, right before it could even start to happen though, the voices urged them to instead take care of ‘her’ first, the Dryad looking woman.
To the surprise of every single pair of eyes witnessing these scenes and as if provoked, the Dryad and the Demon start to smile brightly and devilishly both. Right after, the female Demon’s translucent figure began to have her form fluctuate and connect to the Dryad.
At the same time, the Dryad had her eyes closed as she threw her head back a little, she started elevating and hence, elevating both of themselves, as she also seemed to call forth an energy that came from her body but one that no one had ever seen before…
…except, Yun Beishang.
“!!!” As Yun Beishang saw this, the memory of that girl from long ago when he was fighting the Mortal’s Terror appeared once more in his eyes as he and everyone saw, the latter without knowing, their souls start to merge with each other!
‘That can happen?’ While asking himself this question, Yun Beishang looked with utter earnest at the new sight, his eyes giving off a scary light violet glint as he did.
After a few seconds, they both began transforming into a huge female Demon that was perfectly identical to that female Demon in a translucent soul form. Her whole body, this time, and beside that huge pair of mountains, has now a full sight of the female Demon without any interference as if her soul was about to dissipate like before.
But instead of having legs, she had goat-like legs and hooves instead of feet. Some noticed that from that moment there were numerous soul-like being which were entangling with the structure behind, doing some kind of series of actions that brought about a sensation of sucking, absorbing-like interaction with it.
Though it was a completely new image for any person watching this, well, almost; for Yun Beishang, this was a most normal occurrence to him as… these were shadowy figures in the forms of hands, feet, legs, arms and even extremely long neck and huge faces the size of an enormous boulder biting and clawing at the core of the Communications Devices.
The moment everyone saw her give up her soul and existence to the cause of merging and giving all kinds of strengths to the female Demon, a strange name appeared in the heads of the Journeyers as a sight of the Dryad in her original form appeared inside their heads.
“Adorevia…” They saw the Dryad’s previous appearance as she held a female tiny Demon, looking at it with clear interest and also, definitely nowhere near to anywhere from what the current Main Kingdom was.
Her surroundings were utterly brand new, majestic, flourishing and filled with vigor, magic and life, nothing like the anywhere around Main Kingdom had; not even at the Ancient Forest Region.
That tiny little Demon couldn’t be anyone else but the current female Demon in front of them that has transformed into the huge one. But soon after, the images changed as the tiny little Demon on her hand looking back at her with the biggest of bright darkest eyes disappeared; and was replaced by a ravishingly wonderful beauty of an age around her 20’s.
With the same smile and pair of eyes though, the Dryad looked at this beauty that had her stomach against to, before then striking to give a small but passionate, sincere kiss to the female Demon’s lips.
Astounded at first, but right after as well, the female Demon quickly reciprocated, and before long, they both fell to the floor as their silk-like clothes vanished and their love turned into infatuation and devotion.
It was now that they understood, that ‘Adorevia’ wasn’t the name of the tiny Demon and that it was not the Dryad’s doings of naming her, but instead, of presenting herself to the tiny Demon back then atop of her palm.
She is called Adorevia, and regardless of her previous status, she is now the last Tree Elf royal to still exist in this world!
Struck with such exposition, the Journeyers were astounded, when they suddenly saw a notification appear at the lower corners of their retinas at once:
*PING*...your ally ‘Dedso Magic’ has been affected by the skill Curse of a Myriad Races and has instantly died after suffering a heart attack.
*PING*...your ally ‘Felton Bricks’ has been affected by the skill Curse…
*PING*...your ally ‘Don’t Wear Any Panties’ has been affected…
“Quick, get more people inside, there is a passive AOE skill that affects almost all players but definitely not all!” Selina suddenly commanded in the chat voice of their overall alliance, that of Main Kingdom Vanguard and not just of The Order’s alliance.
“No, it affects everyone, but is only effective against the weaker hearted ones, just send everyone one after the other in batches. That way, many will still die, but the important thing is taking care of these matters, right?”
Selina suddenly became wide eyed as she turned to look at Yun Beishang who was 70 meters away, before then smiling lightly and complying with his advice. Right after though, she came close to him from behind and said in a sweet, hushed voice.
“So wise, and good at ‘it’, hmm… would you like to do the same later on, but only to me, hm?” Yun Beishang was perplexed but aroused too as he heard her words, he turned his head while maintaining the distance and asked back in somewhat bafflement. “Don’t you have like, a harem of your own and so on? You would be cheating on them all, you know?”
“Mm, they are my husbands, yes. But they are mine, I’m not theirs, I can fool around as long as I don’t bring random dudes into our home. Can we play together?”
Yun Beishang was once again perplexed, but still voiced his own thoughts while showing how much he found this to be comical entirely, “It’s the contrary with me, I can bring anyone and as long as they aren’t brought away, they can stay as mine. But even then, I don’t just fool around anymore, unless I bring them back home to get tested by my Queens, eh.”
“Bullshit, Kara told me you conquered her long ago and still has her beloved husband around-”
“You! Ah, forget it. Let’s talk this later, okay? And stop touching me, my wives and women are going to force me to pleasure them all night nonstop if you do not stop.” Selina saw Yun Beishang’s change thrice in less than a second and found it to be funny, as she then nodded to his words while thinking to herself, ‘As if that is a problem with you, you even surely want that, don’t you? I must check Kara’s words veracity myself!’.
After thinking such for herself, Selina became silent while Baston and Raoundozia shook their heads in lament, as if trying to give Yun Beishang their strength for him t o survive, unaware of girls’ talk as their women behind the two of them blushed at their previous girls’ video call as well…
And just right then, the two lovers consisting of the Demon and Dryad began to transform into a ‘Sacrificial’ Puppet Demon as stated by the system once more, which it also brought sadness to each of them for an unspeakable and entirely unknown reason.
But what everyone else, except Yun Beishang once more, knew not about; was that the moment that happened, they actually chose to… practically end themselves for good. It was even more so as the female Demon’s soul seemed to become joyful and full of mirth, but also sorrowful as she amply converged into the huge body of the huge Demon they’ve created together.
It could be seen, strangely, as their child. Even though with their power, they could exchange blood and some other of their own fluids and go through some rituals to have an actual baby of their own with their own bodies alone; they never had the chance…
And now, as the female Demon’s soul disappeared into the huge Demon’s body, as ravishingly and identical as the former, she left Adorevia full control of it; of her last physical form.
And it was only Yun Beishang who could notice, who could take note of this and know it for the rest of his life… unless she told others.
But such thing, no matter how nor in what point of view… he could never disrespect.
…
Let It Rain's Note: ...tell us why must we suffer.
