Dammit! I can't let him harm the dwarves anymore than that!

Mustering barely any strength I had, I quickly popped out an Elixir from my Inventory and drank it slowly and weakly.

Thanks to Mark and Rita's help, I was protected enough time to do this!

Ding!

[You have drank a [Greater Spirit Elixir (S Grade)]! Your HP, MP, Satiation, and Spiritual Essence are fully recovering at a super-fast speed!]

FLUOOOOSH!

I felt my vitality and energy finally coming back to me, as I moved my huge body much easily and faster than before. I could probably become small again, but that would be a disadvantage in this moment.

I ran towards the rest of my friends as Mark and Rita took down the Giant Bone Dragon Chimeras that kept emerging from a huge pool of Nether left by the Bone Centipede.

"Everyone! Are you alright?" I asked, grabbing everyone with my big wooden claws and lifting them off the ground, generating a barrier to protect them from the black gas left behind by the Bone Centipede.

"W-We're fine!" Acorn said, gasping for air. "Urgh, what is that black smoke?! It seems poisonous!"

"I feel exhausted My soul still hurts." Nieve cried.

"Hahh I feel completely fine, actually!" Lily said, standing up and glancing at the Bone Centipede.

"J-Just what the heck was that Elayne?!" Jenny asked fearfully. "It scared me shitless!"

"I think we can explain later, we first need to stop that thing, or thousands of lives will be lost!" I said.

"But they're just game characters, r-right? Why does it matter so much to you?!" Jenny wondered, feeling strange. "W-What is going on?!"

"Jenny." I sighed. "I know this sounds crazy, but this game this world, it's all real! Your soul it was almost destroyed, for real!"

"E-EEEH?! ARE YOU DELUSIONAL?!" Jenny panicked.

"The reason you can't log-off yet is because of that!" I sighed. "I can explain later, dear Jenny, so please, just calm down. I'll make sure to protect you no matter what, you're my dear friend after all!"

"E-Elayne" Jenny was only more and more confused. "Ugh What the hell! Okay, let me do something about this thing too!" She suddenly armed herself with bravery, jumping off the barrier and beginning to absorb the smoke.

FLUOOOOSH!

"URGH! It tastes like shit! But it doesn't affect me!" She groaned. "It seems to be some sort of pathogen mixed with poison! Does that centipede wants to kill everyone in the city using it?!"

"That's really bad!" Acorn cried. "We have to hurry! Ugh" He was very tired.

"Y-Yeah!" Nieve nodded, just as exhausted.

"My city my people" Brisingra cried, her ring had stopped working, and was no longer glowing. She seemed just as tired. "Please Planta Save them! Please!"

"Leave it to me!!!" I nodded, spreading my wings, and instantly flying towards the city, chasing down the Bone Centipede. "Mark, Rita! I'll chase down the Bone Centipede! Join me once you're done!"

"O-Okay! But don't get too ahead of yourself!" Rita cried.

"Please be careful!" Mark cried. "If I lose you I!"

"Don't worry dear!" I gave him a wink on my huge dragon form. "I've gained my second air!"

"Second air?" Mark looked at me surprised, and then laughed. "Fine! I trust you! Raaaah!"

Suddenly, he grew two huge arms out of his bird-like body, looking more like a gryphon than a phoenix, and quickly smashed the large skull of a Giant Bone Dragon Chimera!

CRAAAAAASSSSH!!!

As that happened, I flew across the air, rapidly reaching the Bone Centipede, and beginning to charge Spiritual Essence into my jaws

"YOU AGAIN?!" The Bone Centipede panicked. "I thought you were all weakened and exhausted! YOU PEST!"

"ROOOOAAAARRRRR!!!"

Without hesitating, I unleashed yet another Dragon Breath, which I felt was like combining my Spirit Beam with my Beam of Destruction, charged with the unique power of my Dragon Heart. A beam of golden flames quickly impacted the Bone Centipede's tail!

BOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!

The explosions shook the mountain, leaving a huge crater in the floor, where the stone started to melt into lava. The Bone Centipede barely maintained itself alive, leaving behind another half of its body melting on the molten rock.

Its entire body started shapeshifting, no longer resembling a Centipede but a spider, moving even faster because it became lighter!

"Y-YOU WON'T CATCH ME!" He roared furiously, opening his jaws. "And you won't be able to SAVE them either! GAHAHAHAHA!"

FLUOOOOOOSSSH!!!

An enormous amount of black gas, which was named Necrotic Toxin, flew into the city, entering it and engulfing it on a black mist!

"NOOOO!" I cried, rushing towards the huge Bone Spider, and smashing it with my claws. "YOU MONSTER!!!"

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CRAAASH!

His body started being torn to pieces, but each piece simply transformed into a smaller spider, a huge swarm of them quickly emerged out of nowhere! And from within the ground, huge draconic bones constantly protected them!

"ROOOOAARRR!"

Three huge Giant Bone Dragon Chimeras attacked me at once, pushing me back further and further. I used gram to slash their limbs, but their huge bodies and weight kept forcing me to step back, all while the swarm of spiders kept getting closer!

"DAMMIT!!!"

As I screamed while fighting the Giant Bone Dragons, I suddenly noticed somebody was missing from the people I was carrying inside of my wooden body!

FLAAAAAAASSSH!

A huge explosion of light surged from behind the Bone Dragons, as a huge entity made entirely out of stone and bright crystals emerged, crushing the spiders one after another with its weight and body!

CRAASH! CRAASH! CRAAASH!

It was Lily herself, who had somehow evolved, and became a huge titan made of stone and crystals It left us all speechless!

Ding!

[Player: Lily] has assimilated the Materials of the Cave Drake King, evolving into a [Earthen Spirit Brownie Titan]!]

The tiny Brownies had the potential to evolve into Titans this whole time?!

"I won't let you enter the city!" Lily roared furiously, manipulating the earth and creating huge walls protecting the entire city!

"ARGHH! J-Just how many of you will keep pestering me?!" Cried one of the largest of the spiders as it evaded Lily's attacks, it held within a shiny black jewel.

"Catch that one! Anybody!" I cried.

"MEEEHEHEE!"

Suddenly, I heard the voice of Belle She and the rest of my Familiars finally caught up to us after fending off the Undead Army!
