Champion Of Lust: Gods Conquer's Harem Paradise!

Chapter 253 Elite Flower Beast

The air was heavy with tension as they stared at the monstrosity before them.

The Elite Class Flower Monster towered above the ruined swamp, its massive petals pulsating with a dark, otherworldly energy. The stench of decay filled the air, contrasting with the grotesque beauty of the creature.

Its vines coiled like predatory serpents, brimming with barbs that dripped a viscous green poison.

Seren tightened expression too tightenedz she pulled out new pair of weapons her grip on her dual blades tightening each resonating with the dark and blood energy she commanded.

Her crimson eyes glowed faintly, a combination of determination and the power of her bloodline coursing through her.

"I'll take it alone," Seren declared, stepping forward.

Pyris raised a skeptical brow, his greatsword resting lazily on his shoulder. "You want to tackle that thing alone? You do know it's an Elite, right? Not a Regular. Not an Special. An Elite."

"I know what it is," Seren shot back, her tone steady but firm. "But this is my quest. I need the Flower of Darkness to heal my mother, and I won't burden you anymore. You've done enough for me, Pyris."

Pyris tilted his head, a small smirk curling at his lips. "Oh? Are you saying you don't need me around to swing my oversized piece of steel at things anymore?"

Seren's lips twitched into a reluctant smile. "I'm saying you can stand back and watch for once. Maybe take notes."

"Fair enough," Pyris chuckled. "But I draw the line at watching you get eaten, you might have just joined us midway but you're part of the team. I can't see you die. Alera, Lyra, back her up."

Seren's expression softened at little.

Lyra unslung her bow, her fingers already ghosting over the darkwood string. "I've got this," she said, but as she stepped forward, Alera caught her arm.

"Wait." Alera's voice was calm but commanding. "This isn't just about helping. Seren wants to prove herself, and we'll let her. But we can't afford mistakes here. I'll summon my generals to even the odds."

Seren looked over her shoulder, irritation flickering in her gaze. "Alera, I don't need—"

"You don't get to decide whether we help," Alera interrupted smoothly, her violet eyes gleaming with dark amusement. "You'll still be leading the charge, but my shadows will keep it from turning you into mulch."

Alera stepped forward, Living Shadows pooled at her feet, rising like smoke before solidifying into three towering figures: Shadowshed, her Elite Class general, and his companions Dread and Torment.

Each exuded an aura of menace, their shadowy forms flickering like living nightmares. Shadowshed, a hulking knight clad in jagged black armor, brandished a massive sword wreathed in darkness.

Dread and Torment, more humanoid in form than before, wielded twin curved dark blades and a barbed whip, their movements sinuous and unnervingly silent.

"Woah! Lovebug, your Shadows have went through a startling change!" Pyris gasped.

They were not like this before when he last saw them.

"Yeah," she smiled wryly, the change had happened when she woke up from the torment of the mist.

At that time she had felt the change but didn't rush to check it you.

Now all her three Shadow Generals were Elite Class Shadows a change that was brought by the Spark that not only changed her appearance but the boost in her powers amd army of Shadows too.

"Shadowshed, Dread, Torment," Alera commanded, her voice resonating with power. "Support her. No mistakes, give hell to that oversized "rose"."

The three generals bowed their heads slightly, acknowledging her order.

Seren sighed but didn't protest further. With a determined nod, she charged, her blood energy swirling around her like a crimson storm. The Flower Monster reacted instantly, its massive vines lashing out with blinding speed.

The first vine came crashing down like a whip, splitting the water surface where Seren had been moments before. She sidestepped gracefully, her blades flashing as she severed the vine in a single, fluid motion.

Dark green ichor sprayed from the wound, but the monster didn't slow. Instead, two more vines shot toward her, faster this time.

"Blood Veil!" Seren shouted, spinning her blades. A crimson barrier erupted around her, absorbing the impact of the vines and giving her the opening she needed to close the distance. She lunged, aiming for the creature's central stem, but the Flower Monster reared back, its petals flaring open to reveal a gaping maw lined with razor-sharp teeth.

From above, Shadowshed leapt into the fray, his massive sword crashing down onto one of the beast's vines. The shadow energy rippled outward, severing the vine and leaving a smoldering wound.

Shadowshed executed with a deep growl. He swung again, the darkness coiling around his blade like a serpent.

The attack forced the Flower Monster back, giving Seren a brief moment to regroup.

Dread and Torment flanked the beast, their movements a blur. Dread's twin blades danced through the air, each strike leaving trails of shadow energy that sapped the creature's vitality.

Torment's whip coiled around one of the vines, holding it in place long enough for Seren to slash through it.

The Flower Monster screamed—a high-pitched, ear-splitting sound that reverberated through the grove. Its petals began to glow, a sickly green light radiating outward.

The ground beneath them trembled, and massive thorns erupted from the earth, forcing everyone to scatter.

"Watch the waters" Alera called out, her voice sharp. She raised her hands, summoning a shield of shadows to deflect the incoming projectiles.

Seren ducked under a thorn, rolling to her feet falling into the mucky waters just in time to dodge another vine.

Her breathing was ragged, her energy beginning to wane. The Flower Monster was relentless, and even with the shadow generals, the fight was far from easy.

With a surge of blood Seren's body was enveloped in a crimson aura. Her movements became faster, her strikes more precise. She darted around the monster, slashing at its vines and petals, but the beast retaliated with equal ferocity.

Shadowshed roared, his sword glowing with a dark light as he unleashed his ultimate skill.

The attack cut through multiple vines, carving a deep gash into the monster's central stem. For a moment, it seemed as though the tide had turned.

But the Flower Monster wasn't finished. It let out another scream, its body convulsing as it unleashed a cloud of toxic spores. The shadow generals were unaffected, but Seren, retreated coughing as the noxious fumes filled the air.

"Enough!" Alera growled, her patience wearing thin. She extended her hand, summoning a massive shadow spear. "Shadowshed, distract it. Dread, Torment, support Seren."

The generals obeyed without hesitation. Shadowshed charged forward, his massive form drawing the beast's attention.

Dread and Torment flanked it, their coordinated strikes forcing it to focus on multiple targets. Seren took the opening, her blades glowing with combined blood and darkness energy.

Seren shouted as leaped high into the air. She brought both blades down in a devastating strike, the energy exploding on impact. The Flower Monster let out a final, agonized scream as its body began to disintegrate, the dark energy consuming it from within.

As the waters settled, Seren stood in the center of it all her chest heaving as she caught her breath. In the monster's unfortunate remains, the Flower of Darkness lay untouched, its petals glowing faintly.
