(yne''s POV)
Having defeated Fafnir, we thought things would finally calm down, but they only became worse. Utilizing thest fragment of his soul, Fafnir summoned a Portal to the Underworld, where the Demon King of Death emerged from within, manifesting himself!
His might and power were frightening, and because we were all weakened, we were unable to fight against his pressure and magic powers. Our bodies were paralyzed, and our souls tightly clenched by his cold skeletal ws.
I didn''t knew what to do in that moment, constantly thinking and panicking. The Great Spirit was in a dormant state after I overused her strength, and to make things worse, because we were paralyzed, we were unable to bring out anything that could help us recover our health or mana from our inventories.
I panicked, I grew fearful, even after all the amazing things we aplished… to be taken down so easily like that, out of nowhere…
I hated it so much, I hated to have such a fate.
To be thrown around, to be crushed like garbage, to be persecuted by these monsters. It made me frustrated not only with fate, but myself.
As I was about to burden my soul even further by utilizing [Pathway], myst hope, as if the Gods themselves willed it, a System window appeared in front of my eyes.
Ding!

[Do you wish to Evolve into this [Unique Evolution]?]
I couldn''t even think straight as I felt my soul being tightly clenched by Thanatos, but I knew that this was big… Whatever this Evolution would be, I needed it, it was myst resort!
For everyone, for Mark… I needed to protect them.
I won''t let this monster destroy their souls!
"YES!!!"
Without hesitating, I instantly epted the evolution option. I saw as all the materials flew into my body, merging with my own flesh, blood, wood, and soul!
It was a strange, burning feeling, as if I was being burned into ashes to be reborn again. It waspletely different than when I evolved into an Yggdryad... It even hurt!
Ding!
[Your Evolution has Begun!]
"PERISH!!!"
Thanatos arm swiftly swung his huge scythe towards me, aiming to utterly destroy my soul with it. As my body started to transform and evolve, its shing force managed to hit my soul before it could bepleted.
SLAAAAAAASSSSHH!!!
Urgh!
I felt utter agony as my soul was sliced apart, my consciousness slowly faded away.
It felt as if my entire being was being slowly drowning in endless darkness.
Is this how it feels to have my soul destroyed?!
No… my soul can''t just be destroyed like that!
I still…
Have everyone…
Rita…
Lily…
Mark!
My daughter!<novelsnext></novelsnext>
I cannot… give up.
Even if my soul is destroyed, I cannot die yet!
FLAAASH!
Suddenly, I sensed a burning sensation covering my soul, I saw that within the darkness, golden mes started spreading everywhere, consuming the darkness.
What is this?
Two eyes suddenly opened within the darkness, in the middle of these fiery mes.
They glowed with golden and green light, resembling two huge stars in the night sky.
"Awaken your true form, Yggdrasil!"
True form?
"After all… the Guardian of the World is not just an inert tree!"
Huh?!
"Awaken your TRUE potential! Fight for your loved ones, fight for the innocent lives you cherish!"
Suddenly, the monstrous being extended a huge w towards me, covered on golden scales, and wrapped around endless vegetation.
"Grab my hand! With thest might I hold… You must be my sessor!"
"W-Who are you?!"
Without hesitating, I grabbed his huge w, as he slowly began to lift me from within the darkness…
"I am the one they once called Yggdrasil Tree, the guardian of this world, and the son of my dear mother, Gaia!"
As he spoke, my soul slowly started to repair itself, fusing back together with the fiery golden mes that covered me entirely.
"However, some of the Ancients called me… Yggdragon, the World''s Guardian!"
FLAAAAASSSH!
When I opened my eyes, I saw that my body had grown several timesrger! I found everybody behind me, being protected by my huge body. However, this time it wasn''t some transformation, or nature assimtion, or anything of that.
It was just a natural new form of my body! And it was huge! Almost as big as the whole titanic skeletal arm of the Demon King of Death himself.
My shape was simr to that of Fafnir, a huge dragon, withrge arms and legs, and two enormous pairs of wings. Myposition seemed a mix of both flesh and wood, with clear golden scales beneath an armor of endlessly growing vegetation.
I couldn''t see my face, but I felt it was huge and heavy, and I had… four eyes now, for some reason.
Ding!
[You have evolved into an [Yggdragon]!]
"P-nta?!" Brisingra cried.
"That''s yne?!" Rita screamed.
"E-yne…" Mark was surprised too.
"Lady nta! You''ve be a huge dragon!" Acorn was excited.
"Mdy…" Nieve was bbergasted.
"E-Eh?!" Lily couldn''t even muster a word.
"WHAT?!" The Demon King screamed, his eyes ring furiously within the portal opened. "Howe you were able to avoid the destruction of your soul?! My Relic is invincible!"
"Doesn''t look that invincible to me!" I roared. My entire body suddenly glowing with bright divine light. A powerful draconic aura surged from within it, expanding around everywhere.
It felt as if whatever new Abilities I acquired could be activated almost automatically by just willing it. My entire body exuding a powerful draconic aura!
FLAAAAAASH!
"URGH? AAAGH…!"
The Demon King screamed in agony as his entire arm started burning by the light, his hue scythe began to gain a few cracks, even, and the endlessly expanding Nethering from the portal quickly came to halt, being constantly purified by my presence.
So this is the power of an Yggdragon!
