That was all I needed to see before I unleashed a barrage of explosive needles at the plantoid king and queen. At the sa ti, I told a few of my [Sub-Cores] to rapidly work on a few projects, and I didn't even need to grow any larger for one of them—thanks to keeping tendrils around previously.
The wooden dais twisted as a bramble of roots erupted from it, forming a makeshift shield that was enough to stop or alter the trajectory of so of my needles but insufficient to fully protect them. Either way, I detonated the lot, and ringing explosions echoed throughout the throne room.
The suits of armor revealed themselves as monsters too—and their tallic appearance entirely a lie as they ca to life as so strange form of ironwood treant, dryad, or wood sprite. The one group of [Sub-Cores] finished their task, and a large area of [Expansion] was ford centered around Vee and myself.
"Eye-closing ti," Vee said and prepared to fight with the armor. "I'll leave the dancing fools for you."
The smoke hadn't even cleared from the explosions when my other project was completed. Then it was ti for all hands on deck for a series of multiple mini-teleports, as half a dozen objects were teleported outside of and behind the bramble shield where I'd last seen the two plantoid royals.
"Boom!" I yelled out with joy.
"Syl!?" a panicked Vee cried out re monts before the fireworks began.
Six spell orbs detonated in a cacophony of magical devastation. Corrosion, air, earth, fire, ice, and lightning ravaged the area, causing untold devastation to its victims.
An unforeseen side effect of my expanded space ant that Vee and I were only minimally unaffected by the shockwave. It made rather glad I didn't dare ss with dinsional explosions, as no doubt they would have ignored or even distorted the space entirely.
Imagine taking the full brunt of the blast despite being a distance away; that sounds both terrifying and amazing!
"Damn it, you crazy sli! What happened to no spell orbs?" Vee yelled.
"I really hated that dancing bastard. Plus, I didn't even use all my magic; it was done in moderation. And since we didn't get a kill reward, it seems like they survived."
Right on queue, the smoke cleared, and we saw the resulting chaos from the ss. The wooden dais were no longer even recognizable, and both thrones were entirely gone. However, rather than the king or queen, there was instead an amalgamation of various plants, trees, and mushrooms.
With [Identify] being useless again, my brain was buzzing as I was pretty sure I'd seen such a strange creature before. It was on the tip of my tendril, and when I saw it grab and rge with one of the ironwood monsters.
"Oh! It's a plant horror!" I cried out.
