Chapter 1269: Charge
-----
The long-ranged attacks attacked all at once, the alchemist Alice and Apothecary whose profession was the same as his name fired explosive and deadly potions alongside mighty magic bombs. Meanwhile Magius and Hunter fired magic spells and arrows.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The bombardment of attacks quickly left behind a series of explosions, consuming the undead and leaving nothing but their ashes behind! In that moment, the field towards the gate was completely open and clean.
"Now, princess Florie! Go!" Sporegon said.
"Hurry princess!" said Chef.
"We can't give you more than ten seconds!" said Hammer.
"Princess!" Jack cried.
"Okay! Thank you!" Florie nodded.
The Mushroom Brigade charged and clashed against the incoming Undead from the sides, as they let Florie fly through the clean path and gather her divine energy in her wand before blasting a massive beam towards it.
"{Super Beam of Love}!"
TRUUUM!
The massive beam of pink light reached the gate and passed through the interior, reaching its depths and expanding everywhere. The undead being summoned inside quickly exploded into pieces as plants and insects grew from their bodies, and specters were purified instantly!
At the same time, the light continued its course reaching a throne room where a huge zombie was sitting down. Alarmed, he quickly grabbed a sword and swung it.
"Who dares…?!"
BOOOM!
However, he couldn't even fight back, the moment the beam reached him, it was game over for him! His entire body exploded into pieces and so did the rest of the dungeon, falling apart and quickly making the gate disappear abruptly.
"It worked!" Florie celebrated. "We end up unable to retrieve the treasure chests inside but that doesn't really matter right now anyways!"
As the Mushroom Brigade and the rest of the army noticed Florie's plan worked, they quickly charged towards the next gate, destroying the Undead on their path.
"It worked! Her method worked! Open the way!"
The Ent King roared, swinging his massive hammer made of wood and his axe made of stone, crushing and cleaving his way through like a giant natural disaster.
The other Ents roared in unison, following their King until they reached the front of another gate. The undead relentlessly fought, fully knowing their intentions.
But it was too late anyways!
"Now, girl!"
As the Ents used their massive bodies and weapons to breakthrough the army, Florie reached the second Gate and did the same thing again!
"{Super Beam of Love}!"
TRUUUM!
Another beam of pink light entered the gate, frying and disintegrating the undead inside and even the boss couldn't fight back!
"Aaargh! What the hell is this?!"
The giant spectral witch kept crying as the light of love consumed her, purifying her powerful, cursed soul until she reached heaven… or the afterlife that wasn't the underworld.
"D-Dammit! Why do I feel so… full of love?!"
BOOOM!
"Done! Let's go for the next one!"
There was a dozen of gates open across the plains, so Florie knew they had to be quick and precise! The moment she saw the gate closing, she immediately rushed to the nearest gate once more.
The Ents were slow, so they were unable to catch up, but a group of gnomes and brownies joined her this time, including some known friends and allies of the past.
"Princess Florie! Let this old man help you out!"
A brave gnome with long white beard wearing light wooden armor rushed by her side, holding a huge axe made of stone and enchanted with spirits.
"Darg!"
It was Darg, the Gnome that was the Chief of the Brownie and Gnome joint Village, someone that had helped Planta and her party back then to find Lily when she first created her Avatar.
Florie was with their party back then, as she had to guide them there herself and also wanted to serve as an intermediary between them and the fairies, back then when they weren't well known.
"Long time no see Princess! You've gotten much stronger! I can hardly recognize ya!"
And then a flashy and young Brownie woman appeared, with dark red hair and an adorable youthful face, she held a huge black hammer covered on bright colorful spirit stones and wore heavy armor.
"Rosetta! You've gotten strong!"
It was Rosetta, one of Darg's most trusted guards and also a powerful village guard of their village, she was perhaps the strongest Brownie that wasn't a Player within the entire forest. A hero of the Fae folk.
"Das right! I'm here to kick some ass too! I wasn't going to just sit down and watch how they attack our forest, right?"
"Yeah!" Darg nodded. "Please princess, let us charge for you! Gnomes! Brownies! United Falcon Formation!"
"OOOOHHH!"
The small Gnomes and Brownies, races often mocked by many more due to their small height, connection to nature, and often "happy-go-lucky" attitudes weren't beings that could be actually mocked!
They held tremendous strength within them almost as much as dwarves, although most people had no idea because they were pacifists that liked living in forests.
CLASH! BAAM! CRASH! BOOOM!
They clashed against the incoming undead one by one, destroying them before they could even get closer to Florie. The fairy princess didn't spend any mana, knowing full well she had to save it all for the blast.
She gathered it into her wand, constantly creating a heart-shaped mass of divine blessing energy that continued growing larger and larger.
Darg unleashed the power of Nature with each attack of his axe, leaving behind giant branches of trees that expanded and pierced the undead as they came.
Meanwhile, Rosetta's attacks left behind rose petals and combined winds with them, each petal unleashed a huge amount of pollen that weakened the undead, paralyzed them or outright stunned them.
"Now!"
"Princess!"
The two called for her, as they opened the way. Florie nodded, pointing her wand and firing yet another giant pink colored heart that barely fit inside.
Inside the gate sitting over the throne, there was a pink-colored giant skeleton with a red bow and wearing a pretty dress.
"Huh? A heart? So pretty! It's like- AAGH!"
BOOOM!
