Chapter 2076: Their Combined Power Can Even Rival A God!
-----
"You’re my servant. Obey me!"
Lolth attempted to make the Stone Golem obey.
But it wouldn’t listen to her at all!
The power of her curse had been refined and merged with millions of tiny spirits of all elements. Through Alchemy, the monster’s carcass had been reinforced and fused with the damaged golems of a certain girl.
RUMBLE!
The Stone Golem charged toward her at lightning speed, piercing the sky as it smashed its massive fist down. Lolth distorted space itself and barely escaped the deadly blow, stepping back in disbelief.
Then, something else appeared from above.
"?!"
Her discarded arm was floating in the sky. Forging Spirit Flames began to synthesize it together with a demonic spear, fusing them into a valuable new power. The spear grew titanic in size, glowing with obsidian orichalcum and the leftover divinity fragments she had foolishly discarded, thinking they would simply melt away and infect the dungeon.
"What the...?! That’s my damn arm!"
As she screamed, the giant black spear glowed brightly. Three girls floated above it. Celeste controlled the spear, infusing it with her alchemical power. Ruby controlled it as well, using giant hammers made of her soul and spirit to forge it into its strongest shape while summoning blazing weapons from her soul forge.
And lastly, a third girl held her bow in the sky, expanding its size by fusing her aura into it and materializing the weapon. To everyone’s surprise, the bow had become a living being and her familiar. She used the gigantic spear as her arrow, channeling her masterful archery skills into the strike.
"W-What are these kids even—?"
CRAAASH!
Before she could finish, the Stone Golem roared, biting into her neck and tearing her flesh before punching her down hard.
"GAAAAHHH!"
She fought back furiously, punching, kicking, biting, and slicing with multiple claws, hands, jaws, and every wicked ability Lolth could conjure.
And yet...
"It’s over!" Lara’s voice echoed from within the Stone Dragon Golem. Spirits constantly fused with it, repairing all the damage it sustained.
"Stay right there!" Celica’s voice rang out from the Stone Dragon Golem as well. She empowered it with her Golem Domain and Golem Alchemy pushed to their limits, making the construct hundreds of times stronger and more flexible.
"NNNGGGH?! GRRRRR!"
Lolth hissed in rage, piercing holes through the golem as she tried to escape. She broke one arm, only for a giant golden arm to surge forth from the golem. Zephyrus merged his armor into it, reinforcing the limb until it became a titanic golden dragon.
"W-Wha...?!"
The giant golden hand crushed her face into the stone floor. At the same time, the giant spear in the sky finished charging with the combined power of the three girls.
"NOW!!!"
At Zephyrus’s command, the spear descended at lightning speed. Lolth could not escape it. The spear, like a blinding golden arrow, pierced straight through her entire frame and tore her to shreds. Her divine core exploded into pieces, and the divinity sustaining it suffered massive damage.
BOOOOMMMM!!!
The giant golden dragon golem was sent flying back, but the people inside survived without serious harm. Lolth, on the other hand, could not escape without severe repercussions. Her entire authority collapsed at that moment, and her soul was left badly damaged.
The explosion echoed across the shattered remains of the Stone Cathedral Dungeon like the death knell of a fallen god. Golden light mixed with obsidian-black energy and spiritual radiance blasted outward, carving deep scars into the ruined landscape. The titanic golden dragon golem stumbled back, its massive frame cracking but held together by Celica’s will and Lara’s constant stream of repairing spirits.
Lolth’s Divine Avatar let out a piercing, otherworldly shriek that made the air itself vibrate. Her colossal arachnid-draconic body convulsed violently as cracks of golden fire spread across her form. The spear—forged from her own discarded arm and reinforced by Celeste’s alchemy, Ruby’s soul-forging, and Mist’s divine-charged arrow—had pierced straight through her core.
"Impossible...! You... insignificant... worms—!!"
Her voice distorted, glitching between the seductive purr she once used and the monstrous hiss of a wounded spider. Chunks of her body began dissolving into black-purple miasma, but this time the corruption did not spread. It burned away, purified by the combined holy, spiritual, and phoenix flames still raging inside the wound.
Zephyrus landed on the golem’s shoulder, breathing heavily. Golden blood still dripped from several deep gashes that were slowly closing. He raised his rapier high.
"It’s over, Lolth. Your avatar is finished."
From within the golem’s head, Lara’s cheerful yet exhausted voice rang out. "Her connection is breaking! I can feel her true body writhing in the Dragon Tomb! She’s hurt really bad!"
Celeste, standing atop the floating giant spear with her temporary obsidian arms, grinned savagely despite the cold sweat on her face. "Good. Tell that bitch we said hi when she crawls back to whatever hell she came from."
With one final, ear-splitting screech, the Divine Avatar shattered. Thousands of black spider-like fragments exploded outward before disintegrating into harmless sparks of light. The oppressive divine presence that had weighed on all of them vanished, leaving only the heavy silence of a ruined dungeon and the distant sound of settling stone.
The party slowly descended from the golem. Celica gently released her control, and the massive Stone Dragon construct crumbled back into an inanimate though still valuable corpse, its spiritual energy fading.
Ruby rushed over to Celeste first, eyes wide with worry. "Your real arms... we need to get you healed properly—"
"I’m fine," Celeste cut her off, flexing the mechanical ones with a metallic whirr. "They feel stronger than the old ones, honestly. We’ll fix the rest later. Right now—"
"Zephyrus!" Mist landed beside him, her four eyes scanning his injuries. "That was insane. You really held her off by yourself..."
Zephyrus smiled tiredly, wiping blood from his chin. "I wasn’t alone. We all did our part. That plan only worked because everyone trusted each other." He looked at each of them, pride swelling in his chest. "Thank you."
In that moment, everyone saw a little bit of Sylphy in her little brother. They felt the same inspiration they once felt when she led them.
Lara hopped down last, her goat-like ears twitching as she focused on something far away. "Sylphy... she’s still changing. It feels like she’s fighting something enormous too. But she’s not alone. Aquarina and her familiars are with her. Still... we should go."
Zephyrus nodded firmly. "To the Burning Forest Dungeon! Let’s move!"
