Reincarnated as a World

Ch.312 Slaughter Fiend Titania

A single green-skinned woman controlled large branches of wood that twisted around the battlefield, piercing through the weak spots of various creatures so accurately and deeply that it would tear through the opposite side of their bodies. With just this alone, she was already claiming life after life as if she was cutting through blades of grass. But on top of that, she was also attacking up close and personal with a spear made of wood.

She would leap onto gigantic Beasts like a flea jumping onto a dog, but unlike a flea, she would stab her spear deep into their insides and then grow the spear to the point that it would explode out of the opposite end.

She was causing utter devastation to the forces of Envy, but thanks to the same wood, they were finding it extremely difficult to counterattack. Whenever they tried, a branch that was thick enough for 4 Enlightened to stand on (side by side at that) would burst out of the ground and block them, and it even blocked magic attacks.

If they dared to pause in surprise, the next branch to appear would emerge from under their bellies and find its way into their hearts… or worse.

Furthermore, even surprise attacks and barrage attacks were failing to get through her defence. The way the branches appeared was so efficient and precise that you would think it was automatic. It didn’t matter if she was in the middle of an attack or otherwise occupied. All attacks were blocked.

Like this, despite how tiny she was compared to most of the other lifeforms, she was amongst the few others that were gathering the most attention. But what could they do?

Even if she herself was tiny, her magic certainly was not. The only reason her wood attacks were called branches despite being as thick as a Magic Tree’s trunk or thicker, was because despite their size, they were not trees. They were genuinely just giant longs of pure magic-enforced wood that moved around the shore like snakes.

They weren’t as hard as the wood of normal trees grown from Eridius, but they didn’t need to be to still pierce a hole into someone’s body.

How was that fair?

More importantly, how was this even possible? Everybody knew that the Enlightened Races weren’t born with Innate Skills, so all they could do was enhance their bodies or go through tedious lengths to create a magic technique that most of the time wasn’t very impressive. And even in the rare cases, it was never this ridiculous. This female was someone from the Elf race, albeit of a different colour to the others, and the Elves were definitely an Enlightened Race. Both of those facts had been confirmed by the System to the many who asked, so how?

How was she doing all this?

…

Titania grinned as she rode the giant body of a monster she had just killed to the ground, not caring about the cloud of dust that its collision kicked up. Her all-white glowing eyes searched for her next prey and she grinned when she found it. She leaped into the air once more and a new spear formed in her grasp.

All the while, her various magic branches were seeking and finding other lives, or defending her from various magic projectiles and blocking the way of foes she wasn’t ready to deal with yet. Her Mana supply seemed endless.

Despite her main Laws being Life and Wood, she was like a herald of Death and Carnage. The joyous grin that split her face as she descended on another creature made her look more like a slaughter fiend than a real Monster.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

But contrary to her expression filled with battlelust, she was calm as a lake on the inside.

Everything was going to plan. She and a few others had been tasked with causing havoc and drawing attention so that the Dragons could make their next move at the least expected moment. As was already discussed, there were very few that were aware of what said-plan was, and even her people were oblivious.

To them, she must look quite outlandish. As soon as she touched on land she abandoned them and jumped straight into a killing spree. The ‘plans’ she had discussed with them were mostly just fabrications to cover up her real cause, but to them they were real. She probably looked like some reckless battle junky that had abandoned all plans just to fight, instead of an experienced Queen that she actually was.

However, she had no problem with that. Although she had initially felt uncomfortable about leaving them out of the loop, when Evelyn betrayed her and was revealed to be corrupted by Envy, all her reservations had disappeared. Now, she was very grateful that she had trusted Gaia’s demand for secrecy.

KSSSH!

Titania shoved her spear deep into the skull of the Monster she was standing on, some sort of flying creature with feathered wings but a reptile body. She briefly pondered if it was like Drako, someone who had a ‘special’ encounter with Dodo and later underwent a unique mutation and grew antlers because of it. Some creatures were like that.

It didn’t happen anymore and she didn’t know the specifics behind it, but back when she was young, she used to hear about individuals of other races that underwent strange mutations because of a (often deadly) encounter.

But maybe this creature was just born like this. Monsters were a lot more variant in appearance than Beasts after all. Well, either way, it screeched in agony like anyone else would if their brain was suddenly breached.

With a bit of mana, she forced her wooden spear to grow and soon enough it reemerged on the underside of its chin in a splash of blood, bone pieces and brain matter. The creature itself had fallen silent, and it was also falling out of the sky.

Titania put on another arrogant and satisfied expression as her body dived, making sure that her facade did not slip. Her hungry eyes looked left and right for another target and completely ignored the danger of the rapidly approaching ground. But before she could find one-

“““““ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAR!!!!!!!!”””””

A terribly loud group roar suddenly descended from the sky, making her forcefully twist her body around to look up. And although her sight was obscured by her heavily flagging hair, what she saw was something she would never forget.

‘It’s time...’ She thought absentmindedly, her attention was robbed by the sight of thousands of Dragons suddenly moving into action.
