บท 171: Metamorphosis
She didn't know when, she couldn't fathom how, she was astonished that he would even think of this.
But it was clear that at some point, Axiolypito had placed one of his offspring in this very room and had had it assume the appearance of the floor.
She had always been in there, always paying attention to everyone and everything, acting under the guise that she wasn't anything more than a big flesh slime, even Axio should have been fooled by play.
Yet!
He had still taken the time to lay a trap for her! An offspring ready to turn into a bouncy surface at the right moment, the perfect instant.
It had no other purpose than to screw her over once, evident by the fact that fulfilling it killed it.
It was precise selective breeding right there, beyond what she was aware the wretch was supposedly capable of, he had only been supplying them with rather basic offsprings, whose skill sets and abilities may be surprising at times, but ultimately inferior versions of what other monsters and being were capable of.
This didn't fit in with this idea.
Sovereign Of Flesh lacked the time to go over what this implied as she struck the magical circle, a good portion of her body was fried and burnt away by the intense light.
She hadn't been straight up erased by it, and fell back down, struck by multiple of the venom bullets on her way there.
Without the offspring, she fell flat, the power contained within the circle had been intense and she had been struck against it for multiple seconds, her body wasn't regenerating at its normal speed.
Weakened, even more bullets of toxin struck and pierced her body, the ring of heretical fire closed in on her and the magic circle activated its true effect, casting a pillar of devastating light below.
"Cinla?" questioned Lolianth.
"Not dead yet" she responded immediately.
"She resisting the flame..." oddly calm, Feuman frowned as he took the available time to condense a ball of fire in between his palms.
The intense heat of his own magic great enough to burn his own skin.
This fire wasn't heretical, he couldn't achieve such impressive results with the defiler's flame.
The sphere of inferno grew smaller and smaller, changing color until it became dazzingly bright, enclosing the spell in between his hands, Feuman breathed heavily and then, shot it out at the pillar of light.
Of course, everyone else had run as far as possible from the minister, not wanting to be caught up in the range of the blast.
The bright dot seemed awfully slow to reach its target, but once it did, no one was looking at it anymore, having turned away, closed their eyes and covered their ears.
The entire room was shaken, the place threatening to collapse.
Having focused on the power of the blast and heat wave that would follow, the actual flames produced from the explosion didn't remain in place for long, created from a spell, they disappeared as the mana fuelling them did.
'It's mana signature... Isn't gone' Mart immediately noticed it, his mandate spell still being active on the target.
The other tree didn't even need to be told, as a disgusting mass of flesh was growing from the epicenter of the explosion.
"Growing out of the ground?" Cinla noticed this.
"Must have buried part of its body when it touched the ground, using what was left above to shield itself" Feuman finished her thought process.
"When did the smaller slimes completely disappear by the way? I have a bad feeling about this" Lolianth remarked, after getting them away from her, they had never tried to attack again, in fact, she hadn't seen them after that.
Focused on dealing with the minister, she didn't pay attention to them since they weren't causing any problems.
The horrifying sound of flesh being torn came from the writhing mass, it began growing, or rather, it seemed like it was going to implode, as if water was being poured inside of someone's stomach.
"How... You..." Sovereign Of Flesh's voice resounded loudly as the incoherent mass of meat she had become seemed to reach its limit.
"I must rejoin with her majesty!" screaming out lik banshee, the mound of flesh exploded with blood, but also with a white light for an instant.
Blood and flesh stuck to every surface of the enormous room, what was standing in the minister's place was entirely different to a slime.
"Fuck" everyone exclaimed shakily.
Instead of the pumpkin shaped monster, something humanoid had taken her place.
Seemingly made entirely of stretched out muscle tissue, she was far from looking like a skinned person, the directions and patterns the muscles followed was symmetrical and actually quite pretty, but was a person built like this, they wouldn't even come out of the womb.
Clearly, only a monstrosity that set its own laws of biology could assume such a form.
Her face was smooth, appearing to be made of just two muscles stuck together to forma somewhat oval-shaped head.
Growing from the back of her head and her back, were strange tubes that one could be able to recognise as veins.
From these veins, the expected liquid came out, blood in sickening quantities.
Flowing unnaturally as it began by quickl crawling along the walls, floor and ceiling to seal any gap.
Once the room had been sealed shut, with the exception of the hole where Mart was hiding, left untouched thanks to the illusion set by Axio, she began to simply pour out blood without stop.
Not just any blood, it was boiling, bubbling every second.
"I have no time to entertain you lot, I must assist her majesty" calm as ever, Sovereign Of Flesh went on, planning on drowning them all in this room.
"Over here!" Feuman shouted, prompting both of his teammates jump into each of his arms as he used flames below his feet to rise off the ground.
Generally an easy task, however...
"I am not build for this..." he didn't have the arms of a knight to pull of this sort of maneuvers easily.
"Shut up and stay still!" Cinla shot rays of light at the minister, which were easily dodged.
"Don't waste more time than necessary"
