The Determination Of Treehuggers

Aaron watched as hundreds of treehuggers surrounded them, almost as if Satan himself were creating these annoyances. Noctar appeared in the corner of Aaron's vision, having dropped down at some point earlier. He, for a second, wondered where Coranth was, but he shoved that thought to the side. If he was going to do something, the time was now, and he planned to kill all of these demonic spawns. He didn't know if they were actually created by a demonic intervention, but they might as well have been. They were small, grotesque, annoying, and a pain in the ass to deal with due to their numbers. These little bastards could easily take over the world, so why didn't they? Soul was also looking around with a grimace, so he might have thought something along those lines.

Well, no. What Soul was actually thinking was, 'I wonder how many there are. It's fun'. Soul was a much more simplistic creature than Aaron. Give him a task that involved murder, and he'd get on it. It was just what he liked doing. Soul swung his make-shift weapon, the body of a treehugger, around with a grimace on his face. He had been anticipating the end of the violence that he so loved. After all, Soul didn't want to have to turn off his Rageful Incarnation form yet. It would have just been a waste to get rid of so soon since he couldn't fully utilise all of its abilities. So, starting from that point on, Soul smile. He began to use more of the skills he had borrowed from Aaron. Soul let out a primal scream, firing off explosive blue energy balls, utilising Aaron's Pure Mana Creation and Pure Mana Expulsion skills to decimate the swarm of ever-spawning treehuggers.

Noctar had no idea what the other two were doing, for he was overwhelmed by the swarm of treehuggers that had made their way towards him. In every direction, there was rainbow-coloured blood. There was also organs and a whole lot of monsters. Noctar may have thought that the parent's swarm was a lot, but it was nothing compared to this eldritch abomination of a scene filled with colours and dead bodies. Noctar held his dagger tightly, swinging at the treehuggers with reckless abandon, attempting to drive them away from himself. Fire-like orbs appeared beside him, acting as a wall between whatever was behind him and what was in front of him. He spun around in a circle, his ability known as Death Hell Shower sending out destructive waves of fireballs to decimate the population of treehuggers. Aaron watched as flaming orbs flew past him, some of them hitting his back. However, he didn't care. Aaron was too busy having fun. However, he noticed that the population of treehuggers had diminished. This made Aaron realise that they may have gone a little bit overboard. He took a look at the floor, realising that he was wading around in a heel-deep layer of rainbow-coloured blood.

Aaron stopped moving for a minute to look at his surroundings, Noctar and Soul. The two Corrupted people attacking the treehuggers didn't notice their situation. However, when Aaron looked closer at the floor, and more specifically the areas near the walls, he saw the body of a woman lying on the ground. It was the same woman that he had absorbed. How was she still here? Aaron walked over to her body, cleaving down the treehuggers that got in his way. He finally de-activated Absolute Carnage, noticing that it had made him slightly stiff. Aaron had put his human muscles into overdrive, even though they were hundreds of thousands of times denser than a regular human's. The woman was entirely clothed, which added to his confusion, but he realised something. There was a small translucent line connecting the monster to the dying treehuggers. They were re-creating her by using their mass as they died. Aaron looked around, realising that the bodies were slowly shrinking or fading away, and as the final visible treehugger fell, he got a quick tap on the shoulder, prompting him to turn around.

The woman stood there, her hand drawn back, a smirk on her face as she punched his nose. Aaron just stood there, the pressure behind the punch firing off wind behind him. The woman tried to use her fist to send him backwards. However, Aaron just stood there, unmoving. Soul and Noctar, having killed the final treehuggers, looked at him in awe, watching him withstand the monster's punch. Once the woman pulled back her punch, attempting to throw another, Aaron just stepped to the left, grabbed her fist with his right hand and spun her around, tripping the woman up with his right foot, sending her to the blood-covered floor. "I guess the smell angered you?" Aaron asked mockingly. The woman let out a screech and pointed at Aaron, treehuggers emerging from the walls to attack Aaron. Soul and Noctar rushed to Aaron, appearing beside him instantly, prepared for more bloodshed. However, what happened next was something none of them expected. The treehuggers formed a circle, yet they did not attack.

"You, skeleton." The woman said to Aaron, somehow knowing that he was a skeleton. "You were the one that defeated me if I am not mistaken." She told him, Aaron letting the skin from his left hand fall away to reveal the bones. "Yes, that was me. So, what do you want this time? I'm sure you still disagree with my agreement, so what's the point of trying to act all peaceful now?" Aaron showcased, asking a question as he did it. "Well, here's the thing. I'm never agreeing to your deal. However, you may want to agree to what I say." The woman taunted him, snapping her fingers to force the ground above her to open up. A child fell down the hole, and you can probably guess who it was. Yes, it was Coranth. He had been quickly electrocuted with enough amps to render him unconscious but not dead. "Now, do you want to make an agreement with me, or shall I slowly kill this child right in front of your eyes?" She asked, treating the situation as if she had the upper hand.

"Fine, state your deal," Aaron told her, using Boundless interdimensional Summon to create three chairs for him, Soul and Noctar, so they could sit down. "We may as well see what keeps you going."
