    "I can''t believe you damn bastards would betray me!" Roared Gustaf. "I created you! You were just dead and I brought you back and this is how you repay ME?!"


    SLAASH! SLAAASH!


    The furious giant skeleton swung his giant axe, cutting down all the trees attacking him and freeing his legs from yne''s clutches, only for Rose and her Crimson Wolf Familiar to emerge from behind him, attacking with a series of blows.


    CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLAAAASH!


    However, there were only some scratches left on his armor and even his ck bones. He was harder than steel and wouldn''t be a Death General if he wasn''t strong enough either.


    "Move aside, trash!"


    CLAAAAASH!


    Gustaf was bored of Rose, as he swung his giant fist and punched her into her stomach, blowing her away from his way in a mere second.


    "GUUHH…?!"


    BAAAAAMMMM…!


    Rose hit the walls of the caves, leaving countless cracks as she slowly slide into the floor, vomiting blood. Most of her bones were shattered, her heart had burst into pieces and her lungs had popped out like balloons.


    "Unggh… Fuck…"


    "ROSE!" yne grew angered, as she continued channeling more and more of her powers. She needed more, much more to activate [Pathway] properly.


    FLUOOOOSH!


    "That is enough I know you want ME! Soe and fight me!" yne said furiously, her entire body was being embraced by all the trees and nts she was create, fusing into her body. "[Nature''s Assimtion]!"


    RUMBLE!


    The entire Dungeon began to tremble as countless cracks appeared all around the caves. An enormous shockwave of spiritual energy and life began to spread everywhere, as Gustaf smiled wickedly as his skull distorted into a smile.


    "HEH…! I couldn''t had expected any less from you!" Heughed, rushing forward.


    CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!


    He swung his Axe wildly, constantly destroying the enormous trees, wooden spears, and wooden shields that emerged constantly like nothing, while his boots crushed everything down below.


    "[Yggdrasil Armor]!" yne reinforced her own defenses and those of her threw new Skeletons and ckie, as all four of them were now wearing wonderful wooden armors filled with spiritual power. "ATTACK!"


    She and her Familiars rushed forward, fighting Gustaf head on! Enormous wooden fists began hitting the giant skeleton while bullets made of light started slowly piercing through his bones and armor.


    BAAAM! BAAAM! BAAAAM!


    "We''ll take care of his damn shield arm then!" The three skeletons said, running towards their former boss.


    "YOU TRAITORS!" Gustaf roared, trying to shield bash the trio.


    CRAAAASH!


    However, all three of them together were able to hold back his enormous strength thanks to their new evolutions and the aid of yne''s magic. Their ck swords suddenly were covered in spiritual power and wood, bing Spiritual Wood Swords.


    "Y-You can hold into my shield bash?!" Muttered Gustaf in shock.


    "Heh, well, there''s a little guy helping too!"


    "Right, little boss?"


    "Yeah!"


    "MEOW!"


    ckie had suddenly fused with the shadows, transforming into a giant ck panther, and shaping his entire shadow body into a giant hand, holding Gustaf''s shield!


    "YOU BASTARDSSSSS…!"


    Gustaf only grew more furious, ignoring the attacks from yne and attempting to crush her familiars first, using his gigantic axe!<novelnext></novelnext>


    "RAAAAAAHHH! [Deadly Decapitation]!"


    TRUUUUUUUMMMM….!


    His Axe unleashed a massive shockwave of pure Nether and Darkness, as it hit the four Familiars with a single, devastating attack!


    CLAAAAAAASSSHHHHHH….!


    The ground started to shatter all around as the four were blown away by the shockwave alone. However, Gustaf''s distraction only gave yne and Rose the time to act.


    "Irene! [nt Maniption]! [Spiritual Infusion]!"


    yne imbued several spirits she just created using Spirit Creation into her weapon, and then shapeshifted her using nt Maniption because she was primarily made of wood! Irene''s entire body temporarily transformed into a majestic and gigantic golden sword made of gold and spiritual wood, as the power of Nature, Earth, Wind, and Fire Spirits resonated within her.


    "[Light Sword]!"


    However, that wasn''t all, as yne covered her sword with the power of her newly acquired Light Element Magic, making Irene shine as if it were the very Divine Sword Excalibur itself!


    SLAAAAASSSSHHHHHH…!


    "UUUAAAGGGH…!"


    Gustaf tried to hold back yne, only to realize his legs were pierced by the swords of the three skeletons and also by ckie''s shadows, giving him little time to evade.


    CRAAAAASHHHHH…!


    His arm holding the shield was quickly sliced apart, alongside half of his torso by yne''s attack, only for Gustaf''s aura to explode as thousands of souls emerged, trying to hold back yne and her familiars, and pushing them back.


    "[Thousand Souls Legion]!!! Hold them off!" Gustaf roared, pushing everyone away from him forcefully with his thousands of souls he had eaten and enved.


    BAAAAM!


    yne ended losing her bnce as most of the nts fusing with her ended drying out the moment the ghosts wrapped around her, falling into the floor.


    "Unnggh…!" yne muttered, seeing thousands of souls screaming in agony at her. "Dammit, there are too many of them!" yne cried. "I have to… find something, somehow- Ah!"


    yne quickly took some of the Magic Crystals she had and crushed it, absorbing its Mana and then inscribing a new Spell inside of her own Magic Circle.


    "If I don''t have a solution, I''ll create it!"


    FLUOSH!


    [You have inscribed arge quantity of Holy Light Runes inside of your Magic Circle.]


    [You have created the [Exorcism] Spell.]


    "[Exorcism]!"


    FLAAAAAAASSSH!


    A bright light emerged out of her own hands, as the souls that touched it suddenly started to squirm in agony and disappear one after the other. Unlike monsters, they were just souls, once exorcized, they would simply disappear from this area.


    Meanwhile, as yne dealt with this. Her Familiars and Rose and her own Familiar fought against Gustaf, attacking his joints to make him trip, but his bones were so hard it was simply impossible.


    Nheless, Rose was rather angered… she quickly absorbed the Crimson Wolf into her own body and then…


    "[Blood Catastrophe]!"


    FLUUUOOOOOSH!


    A spiraling tornado of pure Blood Energy suddenly took over Gustaf, blowing him into the ceiling and then hitting it with all of its force, a loud explosion happened right after, as several of his bones finally gave up, shattering apart!


    BOOOOOOOOMMMMM…!


    However, was that it?!
