Final Boss

After healing completely, they moved forward. There are still 11 minutes left before potion timing ends.

"Hey, by the way, why are you not getting corrupted?" Elowen asked the tree demon while summoning; she didn't think, but now she thinks

"Lady Nature Elf, when you summon a Natural Guard, we will have the same buff level as our owner." The tree demon spoke with a hoarse voice.

"Oh, so it's like this."

While walking, Elowen suddenly stopped moving forward.

"Hey, nature means everything is around us, right?"

"Let's imagine this."

[Congratulations! Terrain manipulation has been registered in Nature Magic.]

"Oh yeah, now the fight's going to be less hard."

Just as they walked more, they saw a magic ritual and a huge 10-metre serpent with a black horn and black feathers behind its back.

It also looked towards Elowen and the tree demon; it has red, crimson eyes.

"Hisssss" 

"Fuck, it looks angry, and it is doing some kind of ritual."

"I am going to summon my spirit now only."

Elowen immediately took out the crown and wand and wore them. And shouted

"By soil and stone, I call your might,

Earth spirits, hear my plea this night.

Beneath the roots and mountains deep,

Rise now from your ancient sleep.

With the strength of the earth and a steady hand,

Guardians of this sacred land,

Unite with me in battle's dance,

Defend against this monster's chance.

Rock and soil, strength and stone,

Together, we are not alone.

In harmony, our powers combine.

With earth's embrace, this foe we'll bind."

"Spirit buff," she chanted again and summoned giant Golem, who shone brightly, gaining some buff.

Just as Elowen summoned the spirit, the serpent hissed again, its crimson eyes locking towards the trio.

Elowen acknowledges the cave's limited access to her natural magic. She chanted her witch spell, Elemental Fury.

"By Earth, Air, Fire, and Sea,

Protect and shield, so may it be.

With elements, I cast this spell:

A shield of protection; all is well."

A whirlpool pool rose, scattering cave stones.

Elowen unleashed the elemental fury, hurling it towards the serpent. The sharp elemental fury pelted the serpent's hide, causing it to writhe in pain. However, the serpent retaliated with a Wind Cutter attack, sending a blade of gusting wind towards Elowen.

She dove to the side, narrowly avoiding the slicing attack, but the force of the wind left her disoriented.

"Tree Demon" Elowen gave command to her natural summon.

Tree Demon, after getting orders from his summoner and seeing her ally in danger, extended his massive roots with a precise Entangle skill, reaching out to ensnare the serpent. The roots wrapped around its body, squeezing tightly and restricting its movement.

But the serpent was determined, thrashing and slashing with its poisonous fangs.

In this treacherous environment, Elowen activated her Thorny Vines skill. While the cave's conditions hindered her, she managed to summon a tangle of resilient vines that sprouted from the rocky floor.

These vines lashed out, latching onto the serpent's wings and constricting its aerial manoeuvres.

The serpent, unable to escape the tree demon's grasp and the thorny vines, resorted to its Wind Fury skill, generating a frenzied barrage of wind slashes in all directions. The cave quaked as wind blades sliced through the rocky walls and floor, causing debris to rain down upon the combatants.

Elowen, now battered and bleeding from minor injuries, summoned her Spirit Guard skill, forming a protective, shimmering barrier around her and her companions. This barrier absorbed the brunt of the serpent's wind fury, sparing them from severe harm.

After that, Elowen called her Earth spirit, which she saved for a moment because it would disperse quickly if it fought, and she didn't have much mana to keep maintaining it, so it was left free until now.

Hearing His Summoner call The Earth Spirit, a hulking figure with impenetrable skin, launched itself at the serpent. It pummelling the creature with powerful punches, the force of which rattled the cave.

The serpent hissed in agony, its wings now severely damaged from the relentless assault.

The Tree Demon, still struggling to maintain his hold on the thrashing serpent, activated his Demonic Suction skill, drawing in the serpent's frenzied winds and weakening its ability to launch further Wind Cutter attacks.

The cave's air grew still, and the serpent's resistance lessened.

(Note: Natural Guard Summon will have its own intelligence.)

Elowen, observing the serpent's weakened state, seized the opportunity. She

harnessed the cave's earth and stone and invoked her Terrain Manipulation skill.

The cave floor rumbled, and rocks and stones rose to create a makeshift cage around the serpent, further confining it.

With the serpent trapped within the rocky cage, the tree demon released his Entangle, leaving the creature struggling to maintain its strength. Elowen, with her wood spear in hand, struck a final, decisive blow, piercing the serpent's heart.

A surge of verdant energy radiated from the serpent's demise, a testament to their victory. But again, they didn't see black energy come out of the serpent's lifeless body, which was going to disperse into light particles that flew out of the cave.

"Huh, it's fucking over. It was also on the same level as Wolf, but it was harder to fight because it was a rare boss, and I wasn't able to use bombs." Elowen lay on the ground tiredly. After that, she got many system notifications, but she ignored them.

"Cancel Summon" Elowen cancelled both summons because, for the Earth spirit, she doesn't have much mana and the Tree demon is damaged, so it will recover more there.

(Elowen Pov)

Just as Elowen lay on the ground after cancelling her summons, she looked towards the magic circle, which had been turned off. There lay an unconscious, dark, silver-coloured, cute, and small slime.

"Slime ! Why is there slime and what the heck are they doing?

[Description: A normal slime who was demonised by ritual to make it a vessel for the Ancient Demon, but due to the ritual being disturbed, it lost connection with the Ancient Demon. Now it is like a newborn.]

[Note: It is advised to make a contract with this slime after it wakes up and takes care of her; otherwise, it can become a disaster for the world, no less than the Devil Angel].

"What the fuck! This ancient demon is getting more and more haughty. I need to collect all the pieces of the key quickly.

"Oh, poor slime, let me take care of you."

"You will be my companion, I decided".

After giving it the potion, I sat again to see if it would wake up in 5 minutes, or else I would take her out and let the wood fairies check her.

I didn't wait due to the cave falling apart, and wood fairies also rushed towards me.

"Lady Elowen, are you okay?" Verdantia asked worriedly while checking my body.

"I am fine. Just a few small injuries will be healed by the time your problem has been resolved."

"Yes, lady Elowen. I am very grateful to you. If it weren't for you, I don't know what would have happened from the magic circle alone. I can see what was going on." Verdantia looked towards magic circle seriously and than towards slime.

"Yes, but don't worry, I also needed a key part, so I helped. It's a trade relationship, so don't worry about it."

"By the way, can you check what's the problem with this slime? I have her potion that increases her health and Satiation but she is not waking up." Gesturing towards the cute little slime who was sleeping on my thighs, I said

"This? " 

"Yes, but it was unsuccessful. Now I am going to make her my pet."

"Okay, if you are saying Last Elowen, so I trust you, let me check it again." After Verdantia said she used some magic, a branch came out of her hand, sticking a little bit inside the slime.

After some checking, Verdantia said

"Lady Elowen she needs different kinds of energy, like meat or herbs."

"Oh, I see, so that's why it didn't wake up, but it can still devour, which means it is alive but not completely. Okay, let's go. Then we are going to have a cooking session. I have a lot of meat."
