Chapter 167 Desperate

BOOOOMMM!!!
When the Great Spirit hit Florie and then threw her into the ground below the tree where Florie and Nieve's house used to be, an explosion of pure spiritual essence was unleashed, so strong it left an enormous crater. That was a bombastic carrot to say the least!
POOF!
Suddenly, the Great Spirit reappeared inside of my body, she was completely exhausted, and she even used all my MP too! I was, currently, falling from the sky because I had no more MP for Spiritual Leap, actually!
"Uwaahh! Stupid Great Spirit"
"What? Aren't you immortal? Dying is not a bad thing once you get used to it."
"Shut up! That doesn't make it any better!"
"Planta!"
FLASH!
But then, I saw Titan flying towards me! He extended his big wooden arms and caught me right in the middle of the air! His Wind Eagle flapped its wings, slowly descending into the ground.
"Phew, that was really close…" I sighed.
"Y-Yeah…" Titan seemed somehow embarrassed as he held me with his arms, but I quickly sat down in front of him, the back of the eagle was surprisingly warm and fluffy.
"Ah! Where's Nieve and Achlys?!" I asked. "Ah! What about Florie?!"
"Nieve went to see Florie, and Achlys is right behind me." Titan said. "Let's go chase down Nieve, I feel like she'll let her emotions do something stupid, we can't trust Florie yet even if she got knocked down!"
"Right! You're right in that!" I said. "Achlys, how is your Malice Orb doing?"
"It is completely filled already!" Said Rita. "But I've leveled up a special skill that increases its capacity, and it can hold even more! Also the Domain of the Boss moves around when she moves around too. Perhaps she didn't wanted to move at the beginning due to that."
"Oh, you're right, the Miasma is down there now! We have to quickly put a stop to that before she ends up infecting the fertile lands of the fairies!" I said, commanding everybody towards there, as Titan's eagle flapped its wings rapidly.
In the distance, we saw Nieve in the floor, suddenly holding Florie with her arms.
Is Florie unconscious already? She seems very weak, but not dead. It seems that Rita's ability really helped at weakening the darkness and malice she emanated, lowering her stats before she went completely out of control.
"Florie! Hang in there…"
Nieve was crying, desperately taking out a potion bottle from her pocket and trying to feed it to Florie. We quickly ran towards her, trying to stop her!
"NO, WAIT! STOP!" Titan roared, trying to stop Nieve from healing the Mid-Boss!
However, it was too late, Florie drank the entire potion as her eyes opened suddenly. Nieve's face smiled, comforted by seeing her little sister alive. We ran as fast as possible to protect Nieve, Florie had yet to even recover and the strings controlling her were still many, with the attack I did with the Great Spirit, two of them snapped, but another three are still there!
"Big… sis?"
"Florie! Are you okay? Is the thing possesing you dead?"
"Ah… big sis- Ungh…! Aagghhh!"
Florie suddenly began to agonize, as Nieve tried to help her.
? "Florie! What's happening?!"
"Agghhhh!"
FLASH!
An enormous shockwave of darkness suddenly came out of Florie's body, once more impacting us strongly. I had managed to form two barriers over Nieve in time thanks to her being part of my party, which allowed me to grant her the Spiritual Shield Buff at any time anywhere she was as long as she was in my range of vision.
TRUUUUMMM…!
"No… NOOO!" Nieve cried, trying to help Florie again.
"AAAAGHHH! S-Sister…! Help meeee!" Florie began to cry, before the darkness of whatever was controlling her suddenly possessed her.
Her innocent face disappeared, as a vicious smile emerged in her lips. Darkness and purple essence gathered in her right hand, suddenly shaping into a dreadful claw that she used to suddenly attack Nieve!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
"Agh…!" Nieve tripped in the floor, suddenly being only protected by my barriers as Florie's insane onslaught of attacks continued to crack the barriers!
"What's wrong, big sis?! Come on, don't you love me? Give me your life so I can grow stronger and healthier! Don't worry, after this is done, I promise you I will be a good girl~! Hahahaha!" Florie laughed sadistically, as an enormous spear suddenly materialized in her left hand, and she pierced through both barriers with it in an instant!
CLAAASH!
Nieve desperately parried the spear with her rapier, using her wings to fly several meters away from the vicious Florie, just before Titan got in her way, summoning an enormous Wooden Shield from the ground by inserting his roots underground!
"Wood Fortress!"
TRUUUMMM…!
The enormous Wooden Fortress was erected as Florie furiously started to slash it into pieces with her bare hands, rushing through the interior of the defensive barrier and reaching up to Titan in an instant!
"Get off my way!"
CLAAASH!
"GRAAAH!"
Titan clashed against her, using his sheer physical strength and defense to contend against Florie! The miasma began to seep through his body, poisoning him and taking away his HP constantly!
"I won't let you pass!"
Titan roared like a true titan, hitting the ground, and then generating countless roots from below, attempting to attack Florie with everything he had!
I quickly and finally reached him with Rita, as Rita suddenly pointed her staff at Florie.
"I'll unleash everything I've got, Titan, Planta! Move away!" She cried.
Titan noticed it, quickly generating another Wooden Fortress, and then running away, all while I boosted Rita's stats through the roof using a variety of buffs on her!
"Abyssal Underworld Gate!"
TRUUUMMM…!
Suddenly, all the Malice and Mana Rita had concentrated into the floor right before Florie, quickly surprising her and making her step back fearfully as an enormous black gate emerged! It looked like a portal right to the underworld!
The gigantic gate erected up to almost 30 meters, so big that Florie had to look up to see it completely. The entire thing emanated an enormous aura of pure obscure darkness and had an eerie phantasmal presence, this was the infamous spell Rita used against the giant snake!
CREAAAK…!
And the gates were once more opening!
