Seraphina emitted low, gurgling sounds from her throat. She was actually humming a random tune, but because she had revealed her true form, the sounds were incomprehensible to normal humans.
She was in a very good mood. Although she didn't intend to actually drink the "bubble tea" in front of her, watching the pearls tumbling and struggling in the bloody water still gave her a sense of joy from the bottom of her heart.
This is the true nature of dragons. Seraphina did not forget that she was a dragon because she had been in human form for a long time. She remained arrogant, conceited, and still enjoyed watching those creatures unrelated to her struggle in hell.
Seraphina swung her long neck, and a whirlwind formed around her—she was taking a deep breath, intending to blow out the biggest bubble tea bubble ever.
The dragon claw held the straw steady, and the Red Dragon's massive mouth aimed at the tip of the straw.
"Phew~"
From Seraphina's perspective, it was just a deep breath, but within the tree wall barrier, it was like a storm from hell.
A massive amount of scorching, burning gas traveled down the hollow straw of the Resurrection Tree, directly reaching the very bottom of the blood slime.
Clumps of flame appeared in the bloody mud, flashed by, and were quickly enveloped by the bloody mud before floating upwards.
The viscous blood mixed with mud caused the bubbles to grow larger and larger.
When the volume increases to its limit, these bubbles will burst on the spot.
The burning gases shot outwards, and the flames and intense heat caused the Holy Crusaders officers to scream in terror.
"Gurgle gurgle gurgle~"
From Seraphina's perspective, it was just a little mischief; after all, who hasn't blew air into the bottom of a drink through a straw?
But in the eyes of the Holy Crusaders, they were like slices of meat bobbing up and down in a hot pot, the whole pot now boiling.
Seraphina finished her first long breath, and a small storm appeared again. She decided to try something else.
After adjusting the position of the straw, Seraphina now aimed her enormous mouth at the holes next to the straw.
After Ed's modifications, the Resurrection Tree is now riddled with interconnected holes. Besides the central passage leading directly to the bottom, there are still many other passages that players can slide through.
This time, Seraphina didn't choose to blow towards the bottom, but instead chose the holes with outlets above the water surface, like a diner wanting to taste hot soup blowing on the part closest to them.
"Phew~"
This time, no explosive bubbles appeared; there was only pure flame.
Flames erupted from the holes in the water above the Resurrection Tree, and fiery serpents scorched the bloody mud below.
The Holy Crusaders, who had just recovered from the boiling soup, were forced to confront a new reality—it seemed that the area above the water was also uninhabitable.
They screamed, took a deep breath, and began to swim underwater again. Some of the Holy Crusaders ' eyes were already blurred by something indescribable, but they still instinctively avoided the dangers around them.
The flames grew increasingly terrifying, and the enemies' screams mingled with Seraphina's joyful laughter.
Whether it was the players peeking from behind the windows in the castle or the group of players watching from the top of the barrier, they all unconsciously swallowed.
That's so cool!
Is this the power of a dragon?
Enemies that others struggle to kill are like toys before a dragon, utterly powerless. How can one not envy such power?
As for the feeling of terror, the players felt absolutely nothing about it. After all, it was their own people causing trouble for the enemy, so they couldn't afford to misinterpret the situation.
Seraphina finished her second breath, a third whirlwind swept up.
The Holy Crusaders in "Bubble Tea" got a brief respite, but they knew they couldn't survive the next round of toying.
This time, Seraphina chose a two-pronged approach, leaving absolutely no room for compromise.
Exploding bubbles rose continuously from below, heating the blood-mud mixture, while fire serpents emerged from the holes above to prevent the Holy Crusaders from showing themselves.
This leaves them with absolutely no way out.
Upon seeing this scene, Marba, who had been drifting with the current to avoid the flames, stopped moving.
The fear on his face vanished, and he effortlessly stood up from the churning motion of lying on his back in the water.
Ultimately, even with numerous players dying repeatedly and Ed secretly adding water, the liquid level in the bubble tea was only waist-deep.
The Holy Crusaders' ups and downs were merely due to Seraphina's constant stirring and her mischievous blowing.
Now, Marba, or rather, the demon Duma, no longer wants to continue the act.
Because this is the dead end for the character of Marba.
According to his understanding, Marba could not possibly have survived such a hellish ordeal, therefore this is the end for the character.
But the demons had a good tolerance for such flames, and even though the flames came from a dragon, Duma was not particularly afraid.
He stood in waist-deep mud and blood, letting the flames engulf his body.
His skin almost disappeared completely in the high temperature, his muscles carbonized rapidly due to the high temperature and didn't even have time to tighten, and even his bones shattered rapidly in the high temperature.
In the near-martyrdom of death, only a sliver of a priest's robe, still glowing with embers, danced in the scorching wind...
As the last sliver of health from the cluster boss disappeared, the players erupted in a triumphant cheer.
Of course, what made them cheer wasn't just the BOSS's death, but also the instant arrival of the quest rewards.
Clearly, the rewards for such a temporary mission couldn't be anything less than generous; every player present died more than once, demonstrating the ferocity of the entire battle.
Fortunately Ed added a temporary resurrection discount to this battle; otherwise, given the nature of some battle-crazed players, the mission rewards might not even cover the resurrection costs.
With the first of the three tasks already marked as completed, players in Valhalla turned their attention to the remaining two tasks.
One task was to locate and eliminate the large contingent of the Holy Crusaders that had infiltrated the Second Holy See; the other was to completely recapture Fir City.
Considering the rewards of defending Valhalla, and the fact that the mission's ending CG usually occurs after the entire storyline is completed, the players left Valhalla and rushed to the next battlefield without much discussion.
The branches of the Parasitic Boston Ivy sprouted from the bloody mud and tightly bound the Tree Worship Church elites who had been worn down to barely half their lives.
They have been stripped of their Symbiotic Tree and now only possess pure Middle Tier physiques.
Such blank-slate Tree Worship Church captives are excellent materials, whether placed in Dungeon or thrown into parts processing plants.
