Everyone gets into position. I am at the front, doing my best to turn the terrain into a muddy one, while Grandma Farhah and Fie do their best to make it as oily as possible. The smell of the oil and the mud mix together strongly, it's suffocating, and over such a large area. I can only hope that this will be a success. No, this has to be a success, otherwise we have to attack the Adamantoise with all our might.

One good thing about it is that it walks slowly. Slowly... with its size, it's safe to say that even one step of it covers a great distance. One step at a time to move it big rusty old joint, which makes me think this will be a success, but again, the size... Everything about it, from its strengths to its weaknesses, can be summarized in one sentence. It's big! I can never get tired of saying how big it is, and I'm sure those who see it up close will think the same.

Just as the adamantoise about to enter this muddy, oily terrain of ours, Sister Khamisah raises herself to the maximum. The elven soldiers do their best to increase her power. With a powerful dash and explosive acceleration, she put all her energy into her hand and with a single devastating blow, right at its weakest joint, a loyd crackling sound can be heard. It's similar to an explosion used to blow up a cave or a mountain, with a little sound of organic matter being torn apart. Truly terrifying, and once the sinew is exposed

"Oh arrow that reaches the sun and burns so bright, explode with a light that illuminates us all!" [Apollo]

(That is like Brother Nar's Heroic Slash! Is he using it as inspiration for this attack?) [Diana]

The only difference between the two attacks is that one uses a sword and the other uses an arrow. Perhaps Brother Nar's attack is the stronger of the two, but this attack is suitable for both Brother Nar and Mr. Apollo. I think even Mr. Arthur can use a similar attack, but I have never seen it, only heard about it. Didn't they mention that their inspiration was Aunty Amleth's friend Ophelia? At least, that's what Nar said his inspiration was when creating it

"It's falling!" [Farhah]

"Everyone! Take cover!" [Khamisah]

"It's working! It's working!" [Diana]

"This is terrifying!"

"It's like a mountain suddenly falling on all of us!"

"Brace for impact!"

It magically falls over! An earthquake is guaranteed, and the impact is so loud that I have to protect myself or my eardrum will burst. I cast a similar spell on those around me. The others instinctively cover their ears with their hands as well. The debris from the impact hurls at us at high speed, causing tears and lacerations all over us. Even the shields we've been given don't help much, but the good news is that it's a short life.

"Grandma!" [Diana]

"Let's go!" [Farhah]

"Fie!" [Diana]

"Meow!" [Fie]

The two of us waste no time and quickly rush towards its head. The thick miasma of THE THING is indeed suffocating, but with nothing left to stop us, we both quickly do our job.

Considering that Grandmother Farhah has the same status as Saintess Rumia, I'm sure she'll do a fine job of dispelling THE THING, and she's done just that, no, she's gone beyond even my wildest imagination.

"Vine, with me" [Farhah].

To maximize the effect, she uses a magical vine that sprouts from her hand and begins to attach it to the Adamantoise's skin, and from there she quickly attempts to dispel THE THING! 

I wanted to do the same! No, I wanted to scatter it over a larger area! That way the miasma wouldn't interfere so much, and I can only think of

"Fairy of water, Aqua. Fairy of Wind Sylph. Lend me your power, with our combined power, let it rain! Let it rain! Let the rain drive away THE THING!" [Diana]

I'm sure my improved wand allow me to combine three spells that cover a large area at once. I'm sure I can do this before, but it wouldn't be as easy as this, not that it's a walk in the park, but it does allow me a margin of error, which is unfortunately used by THE THING as it starts throwing monster after monster to stop us, fortunately.

"You will not touch my little sister while I am here!" [Khamisah]

Sister Khamisah saves the three of us! She is followed by Mr. Apollo and the rest of the elven soldiers. Their goal is to protect us three. Fie supported us both, so he couldn't attack the monster so freely.

Quick, cleanse it! Cleanse it! Before the Adamantoise attack! Both Grandma Farhah and I broke out in a sweat as we continued to drain our mana to the very last drop, as our breath began to become disorderly, as our sweat drenched our clothes, our efforts paid off!

"You have my thanks, World Tree Priestess and Child Blessed by Fairies" [Adamantoise].

"It speaks!" [Diana]

"Really? All I hear is a loud roar" [Khamisah].

"It did, though only we can hear it" [Farhah]

"I can't interpret it, even with nature communication magic" [Apollo]

"Neither can I."

The Adamantoise uses an earth spell to lift himself up and return to his position. At its command, the creatures that have settled on its shell stop attacking us.

"How did you become controlled by THE THING?" [Diana]

"I'm not sure. I have met several people who might have done it to me. Witch. Beastman. Maybe even both together" [Adamantoise].

"Witch... The only witch I know besides Master Merlin is one of Prince Rufus' assistants, and Beastman... The real Beastman group maybe?" [Diana]

"I'm not knowledgeable in the realm of small, so I wouldn't even know about it. My memory is hazy" [Adamantoise].

Even Grandma Farhah begins to speculate, unfortunately the Adamantoise give the same answer

"The mana core in your wand, one from the Sea Diamond Serpent..." [Adamantoise]

"This? How do you know that?" [Diana]

"I see... Very well, allow me to bless you with another powerful mana core. May it aid you in your journey in the near future, child blessed by fairies" [Adamantoise].

Once again, a large meteor slowly descended upon us, only this time, it became smaller and smaller until it landed perfectly on my wand, fitting in nicely! 

"Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow!" [Diana]

"And for Madam World Tree Priestess, may this shield of mine help you as well" [Adamantoise].

It concentrated all of its mana into one of its scales, which quickly fell off. It's heavy from the sound of its impact. Others try to lift it off the ground but to no avail, but when Grandmother Farhah does

"It is surprisingly light" [Farhah].

"Only those who have been given permission by me, and by extension your own, can lift it" [Adamantoise]

"Thank you for your gift. May I ask one last question?" [Farhah]

"Very well" [Adamantoise]

"You wouldn't happen to know where the ant swarm, Durant is?" [Farhah]

"For what reason do you seek it?" [Adamantoise]

"We are planning to connect the two world trees together!" [Diana]

"Two World Trees!" [Adamantoise]

The Adamantoise is in shock, so we quickly explain to the Adamantoise 

"Very well, if I find them in my journey, I'll tell one of you about my companion" [Adamantoise].

"How so?" [Diana]

"The mana core given to you and the shield given to the World Tree Priestess, myself and my companion can detect them wherever they are" [Adamantoise].

"I see! Thank you very much! Oh, one last question" [Diana]

"Speak" [Adamantoise]

"Do you by any chance know that the Devil King will be resurrected in 9... no, closer to 8 years from now? If so, will you help me during that time?" [Diana]

"WHAT!!!" [Adamantoise]

Again, this shocked the Adamantoise, and again, we have to explain to the Adamantoise
