Transmigrated as a Ghost

Having steeled her resolve, Mrazivý charged towards the Cauldron Bloom.

During her approach she fired off a few low tier spells to get the monster's attention.

As expected, the barrier around it opened up several tears in space that redirected the attacks back at Mrazivý.

Naturally she dealt with them easily enough since they were her own attacks to begin with.

"Come on already. Deploy those threads of mana and teleport me into your stomach already." Mrazivý grumbled as she ran around the titanic monster and assailed it with numerous weak attacks.

For several minutes the Cauldron Bloom seemed intent on ignoring her and continued to flee after feeling threatened by Lilia.

Nevertheless, it eventually gave into its instincts to gobble up its attacker and extend the nearly invisible threads of mana it used to ensnare people with.

However, this time Mrazivý did not keep on her guard and avoid the thin threads, but actively ran towards them.

The moment she touched the closest one, she felt a magical force being exerted on her and allowed herself to be taken without resistance.

When her vision came back to her, she found herself within the stomach of the Cauldron Bloom.

Immediately the powerful vortex of mana within it attempted to sweep her up in it, but she had known what was coming was prepared to deal with it.

A dark silverish liquid erupted from Mrazivý's body and wrapped her up within a protective cocoon that extended strands towards the walls of the Cauldron Bloom's stomach.

Thanks to her Mercurial Ice Unique skill, she was able to root herself in place and create a small sanctuary for herself within the vicious vortex of mana.

Still, she could feel the immense pressure on the outside battering away at her protection and knew she could not keep it up for long.

'I'm guessing you've got a plan, Mraz. Otherwise, you wouldn't have jumped in here, right.' Marcus asked over telepathy.

Naturally he had seen her arrival and wanted to know what she was going to attempt.

'Yeah, I've got a strategy in mind. Though if it doesn't work, I'll be counting on you to bail me out. I can't leave here whenever I want like you can.' Mrazivý responded.

She then gripped her sword and began pouring power into it. From outside her attacks may not have been reached, but on the inside, she was certain she could strike down the Cauldron Bloom.

'Now!'

Over telepathy Mrazivý shouted out to her allies to signal the start of her attack.

With her sword teaming with mana, she swung rapidly and released several powerful blasts of cold energy.

A giant razor-sharp blizzard formed within the stomach of the Cauldron Bloom and fought against the vortex of mana it used to tear apart its food.

For the first time the giant monster screeched in pain as its insides were shredded and frozen.

Just a second later, Roxene, Blitz, and Aurelia attacked from the outside with some of their strongest attacks.

Distracted as it was from the attacks coming within, it was unable to fully deploy its warping barrier and was battered by a devastating blast of light from Roxene, fried by a giant bolt of lightning from blitz, and had the base of its body torn apart by Aurelia's claws and teeth.

The Cauldron Bloom shook violently as it was struck by four powerful attacks from mythic grade beasts.

Large parts of its body were destroyed and its previously rigid body that stood upright fell over and slammed into eh ground with a thunderous crash.

It now lay in a massive crater, unable to move. Still, it had not died quite yet. As a plant type monster, it had exceptional vitality, and it would take more to finish it off.

"Mrazivý, you nearly killed the people I've been giving my all to protect! Why did you launch such a wide range attack in a confined space when you knew there were bystanders around?!" Marcus yelled as he rushed over to his wife with the four caravan members he was protecting in tow.

"Oh, I gave you warning before I attacked, and it looks like they are all still breathing. Against a creature this large, a powerful but localized attack wouldn't have done enough damage. Plus, I made sure to concentrate most of my power away from where you were. "

Marcus wanted to say something else, but before he could the inside of the Cauldron Bloom, where they still were, quaked.

"You can give me your complaints later. Let's get out of her before this thing recovers and catches back up in that vortex." Mrazivý said as she sliced an opening in the Cauldron Bloom.

Fortunately, her new sword cut through the Cauldron Bloom's stomach with practically no resistance.

The two of them then forced their way out with the four caravan members and swiftly put some distance between themselves and the monster that had given them an immense amount of trouble.

After making sure that people from the caravan were safe, Marcus and Mrazivý regrouped with Roxene, Blitz, and Aurelia to finish off the Cauldron Bloom, which had been named given the name forest's reaper by the people of Houten.

Except, just before they could fire the finishing blows, the ancient monster vanished once again. It had finally recovered enough to use its teleportation and wisely fled the area.

"So, what now? We've saved the people it ate. If we want, we can head back now." Mrazivý suggested. After the tedious battle with the Cauldron Bloom, she was ready to be over and done with it.

"As much as I'd like to do that, taking it out will be for the best. It could recover and come back after the caravan if left to its own devices. Best to nip a possible future problem in the bud while we can. Also, there are some magic items I'm certain I can make with its materials.

Some things that will help us when we inevitably have to deal with another creature that uses space magic or similar abilities." Marcus said, determination in his eyes.

"Fine. Let's just make it quick. I'm tired of dealing with this thing."

With their course of action set, Marcus, Mrazivý, Roxene, Blitz, and Aurelia went after the Cauldron Bloom once again. Hoping that they would finally be able to put it down.
