Chapter 1275: The Plan Of The Demon King Of Death
-----
The Demon King of Death’s plan was simple, to reach Yggdrasil and pierce it with a piece of his own body, therefore giving him the power to forcefully take over it.
However, Erebus proved this to be an extremely hard thing to achieve, even more with many of the players manifesting his servant holding his sword out of commission.
His finger alone could never get there, turning into any form wouldn’t do, as it would be instantly crushed by Erebus.
He needed someone to wield him, therefore he simply decided to put to good use the knowledge he had stolen from that foolish demonic wizard.
"{Demonic Death Vessel}!"
FLUOSH!
Through the combination of Demon Magic and his own Necromancy, the Demon King of Death created a second body for his loyal dragon general. Their flesh and bones merged together.
It wasn’t as monstrous as Erebus had imagined though, their appearance was that of a huge ten-meter-tall humanoid, resembling a much larger, muscular Bone Dragonoid with the pale white face of a human, but encased on the bony jaws of a dragon as if it were a helmet.
With his huge, muscular humanoid body covered on countless draconic bones made into an armor merged with their fleshy body, the dragon’s new vessel granted him enough power to do as his master ordered.
"Aahh! A second body! With this, surely...!"
He gripped his claws tightly as he smiled, holding his master’s sword was no problem now!
And the power he felt, it was no longer just phantasmal, but also demonic.
Yet...
FLASH!
"Hey, you took away all the Players? I was having fun, you know?"
To his surprise, Erebus was already behind them. His cute if not girlish, and childish face seemed to overflow with a calm anger.
He was really having fun slaughtering them!
"He’s fast...!"
The dragon was about to swing his blade against him and try his new strength.
However...
"Don’t touch me."
With a swipe of Erebus’ hand, a massive tentacle made of spiritual void miasma slammed the dragon even further away from their target! Erebus knew he was aiming for the damn tree, and just like he once sought it too, he was going to protect it.
CRAAASH!
The dragon rolled over the grass, destroying several trees on his path as he landed near a small lake, several forest monsters rushed to attack him, instantly dying before its nether aura.
"Bastard..."

With an angered expression, the dragon quickly amassed all the dead monsters and turned them into a huge ball of flesh and bones, fusing it into his left arm and creating a massive arm made of giant bones and red, pulsating flesh.
"Tricky bastards!"
Erebus swiftly flew into the skies as he attempted to reach them, harnessing his void miasma into his little hands and using the gravitational distortions produced by his powers to drag them towards him.
"{Miasmic Void Hand}"
A huge hand made of miasmic void materialized above his body, closing and conjuring enough gravitational pull to bring them back to him.
"Nooo! Dammit!"
The dragon screamed in frustration, as he was already being pulled back!
However...
"Throw me now!"
"Ah! Yes!"
Using the massive arm he created for this very purpose, the dragon grabbed the sword and threw it at lightning speed towards Yggdrasil!
At the same time, the dragon reached Erebus and laughed, greeting him with his claws.
"DAMMIT!"
Erebus screamed in frustration, punching the dragon in the face and throwing him down, rushing to catch the sword.
However, it was already too late, the sword would reach the tree!
CLASH!
"Haha.... HAHAHAHA! I DID IT... I DID IT!"
RUMBLE!
The moment the sword felt wood being pierced by its body, it immediately began to infect it with Nether, filling its life with death and destruction.
"You will become my new body, my new familiar, my new power! I shall name you Qliphoth, the Demonic Tree of Death!"
As Yggdrasil started turning pitch black and the forest was rapidly trembling, suddenly...
"As if!"
SLASH!
A huge blazing sword cut through the branch the sword had pierced, cutting its infection and stopping it altogether.
"W-What?!"
As the branch and the sword fell from the skies, the Demon King of Death saw a huge giant made of black metallic wood and flames rushing down.
"Burn to cinders, you bastard! {Phoenix Descent}!"
Swinging his massive blazing sword down, a gigantic phoenix made of flames manifested, engulfing the branch and the sword...
BOOOM!
