8 The Flame Salamander Empress (2/2)

| SYSTEM MESSAGE: WHILE IN ABSOLUTE FIRE ZONE YOU CANNOT USE ANY NON-FIRE RELATED MAGIC SPELL |

”This must be a bad joke! This is actually difficult! Ugh…”

”Lazy Mind, how is it going, can you crack the Absolute Fire Zone yet?”

”Ugh, this spell is extremely complex, it will take a while, resist for now…”

”No way…”

”Main Mind, we will help you as much as we can, we must stall for every second we can!”

”Yes! I am counting on you!”

”RAAAAAA! Myriad Claws!”

After using so many times the combination of all my claw related skills, I ended up naming them Myriad Claws for short.

CRASH!

”GUEEK! Still resisting, eh? I see that you do not possess any healing spells! Hahaha! , you will die in a matter of time!”

”FLAMING CLAW!”

BAAAM!

Thanks to the multi-tasking of my Cocky and Energetic Minds I was able to intercept the attack with Myriad Claws+ Monkey Emperor Strong Blow.

”TSSK! You might have a high strength stat than me, but that's it! FIRE ELEMENTAL TORNADO!”

”Agh! Not again! I must evade it!”

From inside of my mind, my Energetic Mind helped me out.

”Don't worry, I have these saved! Activate CRIMSON WOLF EMPEROR STRONG SENSES plus BIG BIRD GALE WINGS!”

Suddenly, the usage of these completely unrelated skills in combination generated a very different effect!

”Ah! I can see the tornado slowly coming to my way!”

My Butterfly wings were replaced with a pair of strong black colored bird wings, increasing my speed and the combination of CRIMSON WOLF EMPEROR STRONG SENSE, I was able to easily avoid the Fire tornado!

FLASH!

BOOM!

The tornado clashed on the battlefield down below, messing the Flame Salamander sturdy formations!

”GYAAAAAH! Mother Why?!”

”Well done, Master Kireina, hang in there for a little longer!”

”GUUU!”

”What?! My children! How?! You can even change your physical form?! You are truly a Demon! Demon! FLAME CLAW!”

”Myriad Claws and Jaws!”

BAAAAAM!

CLASH!

With my new speed and senses I was able to intercept the Flaming Claw in time!

”Now take this you old hag! MONKEY EMPEROR STRONG BLOW!”

BOOOM!

I was able to catch the Empress off guard and blasted her ugly face several meters away!

”GYAAAAAAAHHH!”

She quickly stopped mid-air and enraged, set her entire body on fire and started to throw big Fire Balls from her flaming body!

”RAAAAAAAAAHH!”

”What?! She can flame her entire body and use it to create Fire Projectiles?!”

Suddenly, a strong blow hit me right on my back!

BAAM!

”GAAAAAAH! WHAT?!”

I was blasted several meters away, who hit me on my back was the Empress!

”How… when did you move?!”

”Hahaha! Fire Illusion! While in my Absolute Fire Zone I can use a special skill that let me make Illusions of myself! You got completely baited, bug!”

”Is she using the same tricks than me?! This old hag!”

”How is it Lazy Mind?!”

”Aagh! Do not pressure me! Still not yet!”

”Just hurry up or we all are going to die!”

FLASH!

”You lowered your guard, fool! FLAMING CLAW!”

BOOOM!

”GUUAAAKK!”

The Salamander Empress sneaked an attack on my back, throwing me some meters away!

”There is no point saving this skill, Main Mind, Let's use the berserk mode!”

”If there's no other choice… Activate skill, CRIMSON WOLF BERSERK MODE!”

FLASH!

An immense crimson colored pressure started to exude from me, and my body size tripled!

| YOU HAVE ENTERED BERSERK MODE ALL STAT INCREASED, AFTER THIS TEMPORAL BUFF ENDS, YOU WILL RECEIVE A PENALTY IN YOUR STATS |

”This is really… my last resort!”

”Aaah! Is that the Crimson Wolf Emperor special Berserk Mode?! You even ate such a beast like him! You must die Demon!”

The Empress flashed before me and as a flaming meteor clashed over me!

BAAAM!

”Myriad Claws and Jaws!”

BOOM!

”GGGRRRR You Demon! So resilient! Die already! ELEMENTAL FIRE TORNADO! ELEMENTAL FIRE TORNADO!”

Suddenly, the Empress went all out and threw two Fire Tornados at me!

”No!”

Flash!

I was able to evade the first but the second one managed to catch me!

FLUOOOSH!

”Guaaaaaaaaahh!”

| SYSTEM MESSAGE: YOU HAVE ENTERED A CRITICAL STATE, YOUR HP IS BELOW 10% |

| ACTIVATING SPECIAL BERSERK MODE POWER, ALL STATS INCREASED FOR ONE MINUTE |

”Eeeh?! Berserk Mode has such benefits?! Alright then! Activate Overpowering Pressure!”

Overpowering Pressure is the combination of my Pressure related skills.

FLASH!

”Burn to a crisp Demo-”

BOOOM!

”GUEEEEEKKKKKK!”

Using my new speed, I clashed right on the Empress stomach, making her vomit big quantities of blood!

”Aaaaaaah! Yo-you Demon…! You Demon! You will die! Uuuuaaahh! Flame Illusion!”

Flash Flash Flash

Suddenly, I was completely surrounded by a myriad of the Empress clones!

”TANDEM SKILL: LAVA TORNADO!”

FLUOOOSHHH!

BOOOOM!

From below, a big lava mass started to rise up, absorbing the air and rocks around it and becoming even and even more massive!

”This looks bad! But I found you!”

FLASH

”EH?! HO-”

BOOOM!

”GYAAAAAH!”

I punched the Empress again on her injured belly, even more blood sprouted from her, covering my tiny body completely and deactivating her Lava Tornado!

”GALE BIRD EMPEROR FEATHER PROJECTILES!”

FLASH FLASH FLASH!

BOOM BOOM BOOM!

”GYYYAAAAAHH!”

A rain of red colored feathers started to slice the injured Empress, covering her entirely of slashes!

”If it wasn't for such a massive body… she wouldn't be taking so many hits… She has a very big HP pool… Now!”

Flash!

I quickly went for her back again and blasted her to the ground with a Myriad Claws plus MONKEY EMPEROR STRONG BLOW!

BAAAAM!

The massive body of the Empress hit the ground at max speed, creating an expansive shock wave that destroyed everything around her in more than 20 meters of range, leaving a deep pit!

”Ugggh, you damned Demon, it's going to take more than that to kill me!”

FLASH!

The Empress jumped from the ground at max speed, looking like a mad flaming meteor! It made an even more massive shock wave, destroying all her surroundings.

BAAAM!

”Here she is again! Uggh, Lazy Mind, any update?!”

”At any moment now… just hang in there!”

Suddenly, the big flaming Empress came at max speed!

Boom!

I intercepted her blow with Myriad Claws but it barely worked!

”Guuaakkk…! What's going on now? She became even more strong!”

”Hahaha! Gotcha! FIRE ELEMENT TORNADO! FIRE ELEMENT TORNADO! FIRE ELEMENT TORNADO! You are done for, Demon!”

FLUOSH!

”Damn it!”

I was able to evade the first one but the other two came from the back, as if the Empress was remotely controlling them!

FLUOOSH!

”GUUUAAAAHH!”

| SYSTEM MESSAGE: YOU ARE IN A CRITICAL STATE, YOUR HP IS BELOW 5% |

With such strong flames consuming my body, I felt how every part of my body slowly started to become dust!

”Am I… going to die…?”

However, right on this moment!

| PARTY MEMBER: SERVANT WAGYU GAINED 2456 EXP |

”Aah! That was so close…! Combine skills, Overpowering Pressure!”

FLASH!

The two tornados that entangled me quickly dissipated!

”Master Kireina, we have successfully disposed of one Salamander squad!”

”Guuu!”

”Yes, I noticed that!”

”Hmm? You have leveled. How?! Are you in party with your slaves?! Wait, my children! Noo!”

”Main Mind, its ready, lets cast the spell!”

”Haha… it seems that we turned the tables completely on you Salamander Empress!”

Suddenly a big mana zone came out and started to grow bigger and bigger over my head!

”B-but how?! You can only use fire magic here!”

”That's why! I am casting a fire magic spell right now! Watch this!”

FLUOOSH!

”Nullifying Dark Flame!”

FLUOOSH!

Suddenly, a massive black flame started to expand all over the battlefield, nullifying the Absolute Fire Zone!

| SYSTEM MESSAGE: ABSOLUTE FIRE ZONE HAS BEEN DISPELLED |

”WH-WHAT?!”

”It doesn't matter, I will just cast it ag-”

”GYYYAAAAAHHH!”

Without noticing beforehand, the black flame expanded all over the Salamander Empress, completely nullifying her fire spells!

”Th-this was a hell of a fight, old hag. Nevertheless, this is my win! GATE OF BJARMIA! THIRD ACT: PANDORA'S BOX!”

From the already made Mana Zone, incredibly dense amounts of magic started to flow outside, they were the same weapon shaped projectiles from before, but this time they were infused with big quantities of Dark Element magic!

”Dark Magic! You are truly a demon! Demoon!!! Demoooooonnnn!!”

FLASH FLASH FLASH!

BOOM BOOM BOOM!

”GYYAAAAAAHHH!!!”

The Empress was completely impaled by a myriad of countless weapon shaped magic projectiles, destroying and blasting every part of her massive body, from her limbs to big chunks of her back and completely breaking her head in multiple pieces. Her children watched the sky as their former mother now became a rain made of meat, blood and bones.

| YOU GAINED 6785 EXP || THE REST OF YOUR PARTY GAINED 3392 EXP |

”Haah… Finally, I can rest now…”

”Mother! Demon! Gyyaaaaa!”

The rest of the Salamanders started to run away in fear, as if the death of their mother was not as important as saving they lives.

”Just let them go Wagyu, Rimuru… I am already feed up with these damned Salamanders…”

I slowly flew to the ground and opened my Item Box; I started to save the Salamander Empress surviving chunks of meat that were scattered around, I didn't even wanted to eat them yet because I was kind of disgusted on how she died.

I remembered that I saved some Fried Chicken from the morning and shared it with my servants; we had a relaxing dinner close to the Volcano, but suddenly.

”Hmm?”

| YOU HAVE RECEIVED A DIRECT MESSAGE FROM FIVE DIFFERENT MINIONS |

”What?! Open the first one!”

| ”Master Kireina, please hurry back home, a massive army has been spotted outside the cave, its being led by three Emperor Class Monsters! Please hurry up! The Monkey Squads just came recently, and they are preparing themselves for war! Please, hurry up! Ukiiiii!” |

”WHAT?! Three Emperors?! An Army?! Wh-what is going on?!”

”Master Kireina, what's the problem?”

”Guuu?!”

”This is bad! Let's hurry back to the cave!”
