Chapter 1266: Acorn’s New Form?
-----
The icy wall Nieve erected using Acorn’s divine power was strong enough to resist the phantasmal flames, but it was already melting down at a rapid pace!
"RAAAHHH!"
The spectral monstrosity continued unleashing the same attack, rapidly beginning to wear down the walls as its entire body started growing larger.
There were small phantasmal things constantly flowing towards him from every place in the battlefield, making its entire body inflate like a balloon.
"Why is it growing larger?!" Nieve wondered, noticing it right away as she tried to keep the wall stable and strong. "This doesn’t make any sense... Are Undead Chimeras this strong?"
Acorn’s eyes widened, immediately realizing what was happening after noticing the obvious things.
"I-I think it’s absorbing the souls of the other undead that had been defeated to boost its growth!" Acorn said. "W-Wait a second... that’s it! I have a crazy idea... Nieve, please freeze my soul!"
"Wait what?!"
And right out of nowhere Acorn asked for a ridiculous thing!
"If you can freeze my soul then it can resist the phantasmal flames...!" said Acorn. "And if it tries to devour my soul, then it’ll have its own soul frozen!"
"That’s too reckless Acorn!" said Nieve. "We have to think on another solution... Maybe if Florie can help..."
"She’s busy dealing with hundreds of Undead on her own!" said Acorn.
"What about Johanna?" Nieve wondered. "That bratty druid, where did she even go to?"
"Ah! You’re right, I haven’t seen her anywhere!" Acorn said. "Where could she have even gone to?"
BAAAM!
As they wondered about the unruly young Druid, a sudden tremor echoed behind them, they glance and noticed a young woman with giant bear arms and cheetah legs crushing the head of a bone wyvern.
"And that’ll teach you some good freaking manners you bastard!" she roared. "Now where the hell are- Ah! There you are! The squirrel and that annoying fairy!"
"Talking about the devil..." Acorn smiled lightly. "With her help it might be possible for my plan to work better!"
"A-Are you sure you want me to freeze your soul? Won’t you... die?" Nieve asked.
"No, my soul has already become divine," said Acorn. "Or well, as long as I keep my divine beast form, even my soul gains divine power. It’ll simply change its form and I might feel really cold... but trust me!"
BOOOM!
As the walls exploded and came down into pieces, the specter emerged, now four times as big as before, it looked like a complete behemoth.
"GRAAAHHHH!"
With a ferocious ghostly scream, the monstrous specter rushed down towards Acorn, Nieve, and Johanna, swinging its massive scythe once more.
"Stay behind me!"
Acorn charged forward as he harnessed the powers of Frost that Nieve had granted to him, conjuring an armor of ice over his entire body.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
Acorn tanked the incoming attacks with all the might he could, even as the ice melted, he created more to resist as much as he possibly could until he reached the specter.
"Now, come down here!"
He jumped into the skies, grabbing the specter’s tail and then pulling it down with all his divine force put into his grip.
"GRAACCK?!"
BAAAM!
As the specter reached the ground and hit the floor, its spectral powers quickly devoured life within its surroundings, all plants nearby withered and died.
"OOOHHHH!!!"
With an angered scream, the specter reached Acorn, grabbing his head and then screaming into his face, as its phantasmal powers tried to eat his soul completely!
"Yeah... have a good taste of my soul!"
However, Acorn smiled as the specter absorbed his soul... and had a terribly hard doing so.
"G-GUUGH?! GRUUGH?!"
It started groaning, suddenly its phantasmal body started freezing into black ice, becoming slow and weakened.
"Now!"
Acorn called, and Johanna and Nieve appeared from behind him, jumping from his shoulders towards the freezing specter.
