    "[White Dragon mes Magic]: [Holy zing Dragon Fangs]!"


    Mina utilized her newfound Mana to unleash her strongest offensive spell, which she only had a few, as a gigantic draconic jaw opened behind her, made of white mes, and quickly gnawed through Trafalh''s sliced body.


    CRAAAAASSSH!!!


    "AAARGGHH…!"


    Trafalh''s two halves struggled agonizingly, stepping back as they started to cover themselves on more Miasma and ck mes to set off the draconic and white mes covering them.


    "Now, while it is weakened!" Surtr roared, leading everyone else into battle.


    All four of them quickly ganged on the closest half of Trafalh, attacking it dozens of times with piercing and shing blows, explosive zing spells, and more.


    BOOM! CRASH! SLASH! CLAAASH!


    "RAAAAAHHH!!!"


    Surtr opened his dragon jaws and unleashed his dragon breath. The powerful zing beampletely making the half they were attacking disintegrate!


    "Uuuuaaarggghh…!"


    BOOOOOOOMMMM!!!


    "One''s down, where''s the other?!" Asked Surtr, looking around.


    "There!" Jamar pointed, as they saw the other monstrous half, which had taken the shape of what seemed like a mass of dark goo, tentacles, and skeletal limbs trying to escape from the tower''s cracks.


    "You''re not running away!" Mina said, hitting the floor with her staff. "[White Dragon me Magic]: [Binding White Dragon mes]!"


    FLUOOOOOSH!


    Arge quantity of white mes surged out of a magic circle, shaping into long whip-like forms, and swiftly wrapping themselves around the entire body of Trafalh''s aberrant self!


    "UUAAAGGH…! LET GO OF ME…! AARGGH…!"


    His monstrous body constantly struggled and shapeshifted, destroying the binds one after another. Such magic couldn''t keep him still for too long, but it did bought enough time for Jamar''s de to sh at his amorphous body several times.


    "[Dragon de Arts]: [Draconic zing ws]!"


    SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLAAASH!


    Countless w-shaped attacks made of mes emerged from each of Jamar''s sword attacks, covering his uncle''s monstrous form''s body into countless zing wounds!


    "AAARGGHH…!"


    "Do you still remember me, uncle?! I am the son of your brother! The one you ruthlessly killed!" Jamar roared, his small eyes glowing brightly. "I''vee to pay back for what you''ve done to my father- no, to all of us Myconid!"


    "Y-You damn… BRAT…!" Trafalh screamed in agony, pushing himself into his limits as his deteriorating body suddenly shapeshifted, countless of tentacles trying to wrap around Jamar! "If I die here, I''ll take you with ME!"


    "Ungh?! Argh!" Jamar was quickly wrapped on monstrous tentacles, as the horrendous jaws of Trafalh opened, about to swallow him whole!


    "Not on my watch, fuck-face!" Surtr''s zing ws cut down all the tentacles.


    SLASH! SLASH! SLAAASH!


    "Enough is enough!" Nadia roared; her battle axe attacks quickly shed Trafalh''s body into even more pieces!


    CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH!


    "You''ll pay for what you''ve done to the people of this ce!" Mina said, her entire body glowing with bright, holy mes as she conjured a sphere of white scales, which quickly encapsted Trafalh''s body.


    FLAAAASH!


    "ARRGH…! S-STOP! LET ME GO!"


    Surtr''s jaws began overflowing with even more zing Origin mes, as the power of the Souls of his Dragon Siblings resonated into his body.


    "This is IT!"


    TRUUUUUUMMMMM…!


    A tremendous zing dragon breath impacted the sphere trapping Trafalh inside, as it quickly disintegrated, alongside the aberrant dark Myconid''sst remnants.


    "My lord… Why… have you disposed… of me?!"<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    With those patheticst thoughts, Trafalh waspletely incinerated into ashes.


    BOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!


    He massive explosion covered the entire tower, as it quickly started to fall apart into pieces over the rest of the Dark Mushroom Forest.


    "We have to get out of here!" Surtr quickly grabbed everyone with his tail and arms, and set flight outside of the tower, ncing the entire structure copse.


    BAAAAAAMMM…!


    "W-We did it!" Mina celebrated.


    "I-I can''t believe it…" Nadia sighed.


    "This is… AWESOME!" Jamar celebrated. "So this is what being a hero feels like! I finally avenged dad!"


    "Hahh… It wouldn''t had been possible without your help, Jamar…" Surtr said.


    "Please don''t sweat it, sir Surtr!" Jamar said. "I only did what heroes do! And you believed on me, and even gave me all of those gifts because you wanted me to be stronger!"


    "W-Well, I guess… Though I never expected you to get here right away." Sighed Surtr.


    "Hey, are you not forgetting about someone here?"


    Suddenly, all eyes were focused on the blue slime resting above Jamar''s head.


    "Right… What the heck are you?" Nadia asked.


    "Whatever you are, you must not be just a simple slime…" Mina said.


    "He appeared when I wasing here! He just told me to bring him there… And when we fought he gave us Mana, but I honestly have no idea either…" Jamar was hopeless too.


    "You…" Surtr was about to ask as well, but suddenly…


    RUMBLE!


    The entire mountain started trembling once more. An enormous amount of darkness spread from within the deepest caves down below, as the entire party nced into the origin of this darkness.


    TRUM! TRUM! TRUM…!


    The sound of gigantic ws tearing apart the ground echoed across the entire caves, as a gigantic figure, a monster resembling an enormous draconic turtle emerged!N?v(el)B\\jnn


    "ROOOOOOAAARRRR!!!"


    "T-That''s… Don''t tell me…" Nadia was shocked.


    "Eeh?! We''re a bit toote!" Mina cried.


    "This… Is that the Mountain Guardian?!" Surtr wondered.


    "It is!" Said Jamar, recalling the paintings of this creature. "B-But it looks weird…"


    Instead of having copper-colored scales and a red colored shell, the beast''s scales were pitch ck, and the shell was dark purple, covered on sharp spikes.


    Its red eyes had be ck like the night, and it was constantly overflowing with a powerful aura….


    "Is that where the Chaos Amalgamation went to?!" Nadia asked. "T-Then it did as it promised… It possessed the Mountain Guardian…"


    "But isn''t that really bad?!" Mina cried. "If that thing goes loose… It''ll destroy the whole mountain… Everyone is going to die!"


    "Shit…" Surtr gritted his teeth, defeating Trafalh gave him plenty of EXP, but he had yet to even reach enough power to fight this thing.


    Even more when the Mountain Guardian was a powerful Divine Beast, whose Rank was 9 already.


    And once possessed by this "Chaos Amalgamation", it became even worse…


    "Hmm… I guess there''s no helping it." The Blue Slime spoke, jumping off Jamar''s head and into falling into the mushroom forest below.


    FLAAAAASH!


    His entire body suddenly transformed.
