"But now that we got a few things said and done." I commented. "I think we should make the connection, Lady Verdant. However, I have another question… Do you know about what's going on in the Luminous Kingdom?"
Lady Verdant quickly let go of her daughter, and sat down on her throne, the Great Spirit was then dragged at her side, in a smaller throne of her own, where her mother quickly gave her more snacks while petting her head.
"Thanks to Austucia here, I've learned a bit of what's been happening." She nodded. "The Former Cult of the Demon King of Miasma has been tapping into some forbidden knowledge, seeking to revive an even stronger Demon King, or at least, trying to harness his powers… All while cooperating with the Demon King of Death, or well, one his strongest retainers."
"You know who is that retainer?" Mark asked slightly desperately.
"The Spirits can't get near them, that entity simply kills them and devours them…" Sighed the Lady Verdant. "But I do know that it is a powerful Undead, strongest than any of the ones you've ever fought, perhaps."
"Gods…" Nieve muttered, feeling slightly nervous.
"Stronger than the guys we've fought? Those guys already gave us so many headaches!" Rita groaned. "Uuugghh…"
"I understand how you might feel." Sighed Lady Verdant. "And well, I am also knowledgeable of the Domain of Death, which the Demon King of Death is constantly expanding right below our noses."
"The Domain of Death?" I asked.
The Lady Verdant nodded, sipping on some tea. Her mannerisms slightly reminded me of Titania. If she really "designed" her, she must also be her mother aside from Yggdrasil.
So Titania has two mothers!
"Yes." The Lady Verdant nodded, waving her hands.
She showed us a projection of a deserted black, gray, and dark blue colored land, filled with lakes of nether, sharp peaks, and countless Undead wandering aimlessly.
It seemed like a force of nature of its own, as it kept expanding, like an endless sea of darkness, while the other Domain, this one, was constantly being pressured by it.
"The Underworld is a physical place within Arcadia, but the Death Domain is very similar to my own, the Fey Wilds." Said Lady Verdant. "I fear the Demon King must be trying to create his own separate Realm, a World of Darkness and Death where he can draw power from and ascend into a god-like being."
"And he's… been making it grow all this time?!" Rita asked. "But I thought we were winning by defeating all his lackeys!"
"Well, you have been delaying his conquest, but each time he brought death and destruction to both this world, and the world where you Players come from, his Domain has been strengthening, growing larger." Sighed the Lady Verdant. "I fear he must already be using it as a way to create Gates to your world, bringing Undead much more easily."
"So Phantasmos simply created a connection to this Domain, and from there, he makes the Gates and also the Portals we saw once he tried to invade the forest!" Mark said.
"This Phantasmos, was he someone that invaded your world?" Acorn wondered.
"Yes..." I nodded. "We defeated him some time ago, but he left irreparable damage in our world by spreading cracks in the dimensions… Our world, which used to not have any monsters, started to be invaded by them everywhere."
"T-That's… awful." Acorn sighed.
"I want to put a stop to the expansion of the Domain of Death." Said the Lady Verdant. "Because it might inevitably bring even more destruction. The Demon King's ultimate goal is to kill all life and bring it all to the very end, a world of only death, he believes it is the only way this world could be "cleansed" … He has become too wicked." Sighed Lady Verdant. "The saddest part is that… Deep within his Soul, I can feel it, there are emotions, there is sadness, and there is fear too… Whoever he was, this man was not just a monster, he was someone that went through so much pain it corrupted him. Now, he wants to bring the same pain he experienced to the rest of the world."
"We've learned a bit about his past." I said. "But, well, that doesn't justify the terrible things he has done… but I know how you might feel about that."
"Perhaps I have too much compassion." Sighed Lady Verdant. "As long as I can get a connection to the Material World, through you, it would be possible for me to exert my powers much better. I could for example, allow you to conjure stronger Green Magic, give you blessings and temporary status, and if we can set things up with my Druids, it could even be possible to summon an Avatar of myself to aid you in battle, although it can only be summoned for a couple of minutes at most."
"T-That's… The Legendary Avatar Summoning Ritual?" Asked Austucia. "That's right! If there's a connection with the Material World, it could truly be possible for that to happen!"
"I see how it is…" I nodded.
We need as much help as possible to fight against Thanatos and Merlin, both of unfathomable power. One is incredibly high level, while the other is a World Boss that could potentially be even stronger than the previous one.
If we can get the aid of someone as strong as the Lady Verdant, then our chances of surviving a fight and possibly winning might increase exponentially.
"Very well! I came here for that as well, so let's get started- Err, how do we do this?" I wondered.
Lady Verdant quickly stood up, walking to my side.
"Extend your hand to me, as an Avatar of your True Body, it should be possible to create the connection right away." She said.
"V-Very well…" I extended my hand to her, as she gently held it with her own.
I felt a rush of essence, resembling thousands of threads of green and golden light reaching the depths of my Soul.
FLAAASH!
