Chapter 2103: Rebuilding Her Army II

The bandit that had a corrupted Grafts inserted into his body suddenly spasmed as he transformed slowly into a Leshy. The skin that was once that of a human is now transformed into that of a tree bark. The head also turned tree like as numerous roots covered his face. The only difference to that of a normal Leshy is that there are numerous eyes in the head.

”My queen! You have finally returned. Thank you for reviving me.” The Leshy stated as it could remember vague memories of its past life.

The Black Fairy Mavros was delighted that the beings that she revived had memories of their past. Even though she manipulated those memories of only having loyalty to her, the Black Fairy Mavros praised herself for being so powerful that she could bring out the memories hidden in the depths of each soul.

It will not take long for her to revive her army, but she also knows that not all of these humans will be able to host them.

”We can just take over a human village should we lack ingredients. We can also try using some humanoid monsters as well since that could increase the combat power. Dorn, capture some humanoid monsters for me. Ones with intelligence are preferred but do what you can with the area we have.” The Black Fairy Mavros stated as she was already finished transplanting all of the Leshy Grafts onto the bandits.

The bandits could only resign to their fate as they slowly became fodder for the revival of the Corrupted Leshy under the Black Fairy Mavros. Not all Corrupted Leshy managed to revive as some needed more power than others. About a third of the bandits died and became mummified due to all their life force being stolen.

Some did not have compatibility with the Corrupted Leshy they were transplanted with and just died.

”We lack females for all my beautiful dryads. Go to a nearby village and collect women as well. Make sure that they are already grown women or else the transplant will fail.” The Black Fairy Mavros commanded the first corrupted Leshy that revived.

The Corrupted Leshy turned into vines and seeped into the ground as they hunted for females just like what the Black Fairy Mavros said. The women captured by the bandits were usually from small villages or brought via the illegal slave auction. The Black Fairy Mavros did not care where all of the women came from as she actually liked that they are already mentally incapable.

Unlike the bandits that tried hard to live, the women are basically blank slates which are perfect for the takeover of the corrupted dryads. The Black Fairy Mavros placed each woman into a magic circle and fed them the Grafts of a dryad that normally comes in the form of a seed. As soon as the seed gets inside of the stomach, the magic circle activates which also awakens the will of the dryad.

The sudden bursting of leaves or flowers from the orifices of the women were not a sight that one can stomach but this was the start of the transformation. The Black Fairy Mavros thought that at least half of these women will die before the dryads under her would revive but they all succeeded in the first phase. The bodies of each of the women started to change to that of a corrupted dryad.

Unlike the normal green tinge of the skin that a normal dryad has, the corrupted dryads are red in skin tone as if to signify that they feed on the blood of others. They were still beautiful like the dryads, but their lower half tends to resemble a monster plant instead.

One could even say that their lower half is their true form while the upper half is just some sort of bait to lure in unsuspecting prey.

Seeing the numerous corrupted dryads getting revived filled the Black Fairy Mavros with pride. She even praised herself for outdoing her past self even if she just managed to become lucky. The captured women here were already a blank slate to begin with as they have already lost the will to live.

She merely filled the women with what they lack, and it resulted in successfully reviving the corrupted dryads.

”My queen, I have only seen one such monster that is humanoid and has intelligence.” The Elder Dryad Dorn stated as she returned with a monster that has a humanoid body but a head of a horse.

”Such thing would be sufficient for General Eiche. The body of this humanoid beast should be able to handle his immense power. All the other male meat bags dried up before his consciousness could take over. Place that thing in the magic circle.” The Black Fairy Mavros stated, and the Elde Dryad Dorn complied.

The humanoid monster called the Stallionoid could not resist as it was easily captured by the dryad. It was a horse monster that evolved due to attaining wisdom, but it was not wise enough to run away when it encountered the Elder Dryad Dorn. The Black Fairy Mavros directly transplanted the Grafts of her most trusted general into the head of the monster which made it faint.

The Black Fairy Mavros thought that it was a failure as there was no reaction even after ten minutes, but the body of the humanoid monster started to morph to that of a tree. The Leshy that now has the appearance of the Stallionoid awakened but its eyes were now filled with true wisdom and not one that has just attained it.

The Leshy looked at the Black Fairy Mavros and vowed to her in reverence even though the latter was only like a foot tall.

”Hail, my Queen Mavros! I thank you for reviving me once again.” The Elder Leshy Eiche stated as he had no qualms that he was revived from a monster since a body is a body. The body of this monster was also more powerful than a normal human which is why it could withstand his immense energy as well.
