With words filled with resentment against people that had never done anything wrong to them in the first place, before all of this began, Dorothea summoned the girls that she had trapped.
FLAAASH!
With a bright pink light spreading across the hall, their figures appeared out of thin air. The girls seemed to be hanging from the ceiling, their arms and legs wrapped by pink colored threads made of dream energy.
Their bodies were covered on black, nightmarish armor, and their eyes glowed bright red, as they slowly descended from the ceiling, landing on the black and white floor, large weapons being summoned off their hands.
"W-What is this?!" Lily cried.
"S-She turned them into monsters?!" Rita asked in disbelief.
"No, they're not monster… yet." Mark sighed. "Is this your way of getting revenge on people that's already dead? To hurt innocents that have done nothing to you all. You're not justified at all, you're all just sick!"
"Fufu, maybe…" Dorothea laughed. "My lord has long ago made up his mind! He will submerge this world and Arcadia into an eternal veil of darkness and devour all of you mortal's souls! Do you like what I've done with these sweet little girls? Aren't they good puppets? I wonder if you'll still try to save them now that they'll try to kill you!"
"OOOH!"
"AAAHH…!"
"GRAAH!"
The armored girls ran towards Elayne and her friends, their movement faster than they expected, as they furiously swung their swords, axes, and maces against them.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CRAAASH!
Elayne quickly generated a barrier of wood and spiritual energy around her and her group, as they were quickly swarmed by over twenty brainwashed girls, their eyes glowing bright red with the sole intent of killing them.
"Ooooh!"
"Graah!"
"Gruooh!"
They groaned, hitting, and constantly trying to destroy the barrier while Dorothea laughed in the back, doing nothing but waiting for the girls to either get slaughtered by her foes in retaliation, or for her foes to get slaughtered by the girls.
Elayne remained silent while this happened, standing right in front of Dorothea while trying to hold back her emotions from exploding, her energies fluctuated constantly, rapidly, and furiously.
"What's wrong, Yggdrasil?! Are you afraid? Don't you want to get me? You'll have to first get through all these girls first!" Laughed Dorothea.
"At first I thought you were just an innocent girl being forced to do this…" Elayne's fists tightly grasped her weapons. "But its clear that the only thing that looks like a young girl is your appearance, you're a wicked being. I can't… tolerate you, and I will no longer hold back!"
CRAAASH!
With a furious swing of her two weapons, Elayne cleaved the barrier protecting her and her friends and destroyed it, rushing directly towards the brainwashed girls!
"[Dream & Nightmare Distortion]!"
With a slash of Morpheus' scythe, a powerful, slicing wave of pink and black light reached the countless threads connected to the brainwashed high schoolers, their bodies instantly dropping over the floor the moment the threads were cut.
SLAAAAASH!
Her attack should had never had such an effect to begin with, but thanks to Morpheus special spells, she was able to cut the dreams parasitizing the girls psyches, freeing them from their control.
"W-What?!" Dorothea stood up from her throne as she saw her little entertainment quickly being ruined in front of her.
What she had thought was gonna be a show to remember quickly crumbled apart in front of her, realizing that Elayne was simply not going to play along with her malefic, evil plots.
"H-Hah! That's not going to be enough anyways!" Dorothea laughed. "Nightmare Living Armors, move and attack!"
The girls quickly stood back up again, being controlled by the black armors they were wearing. But Elayne wasn't finished either, gathering more Mana into her scythe and then transferring it into her shovel as well, she gathered both Dream and Nightmare essence into both weapons.
"[Nightmare Destruction]!"
CRAASH! CRAASH! CRAASH!
Her powerful blows hit the girls one after another, as their bodies barely were affected by the damage, as their armors took it all, shattering into pieces one after another.
Her attacks brought with them the ability to destroy nightmares themselves, these Nightmare Living Armors didn't stand a chance, especially now that Elayne's Magical Power had increased so much!
Crack, crack…! CRAASH!
In front of the Boss of the Dungeon, Elayne destroyed all her minions and freed the girls from their nightmares! Unlike Elena, Elisa, and Anna, they didn't had those strange pillows, and were in a much easier to freed nightmare instead of a deep-rooted emotional dream, making it so with just Nightmare Destruction, she could free them easily.
"T-This can't be…! Just what is that scythe you're holding?! How did you get your hands in such a powerful relic?!" Dorothea screamed in anger, Monica's body floating in midair alongside her.
She quickly tried to take the girls away from Elayne, as she materialized three huge claws made of materialized nightmares, which rushed towards Elayne as she was healing the girls.
CLAAAASH!
However, a wall of flames intercepted the powerful, over five-meter large Nightmare Claws, as Mark stepped forward, slicing through them with his Blazing Spirit Sword.
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
Four blazing slashes imbued with draconic flames reached the Nightmare Claws, blowing one into pieces while the others, too damaged to move forward, flew back, Dorothea's face distorted once more in anger.
"Mark!" Elayne said in relief.
"Take care of the girls, we'll hold her back for now!" Mark said.
TRUUUMM…!
Suddenly, several Crystal Spears emerged out of the ground, piercing one of the floating Nightmare Claws and destroying it by leaving it covered in countless of piercing holes.
"Yeah, that's the least we can do!" Lily said, controlling the Crystal Spears.
BAAAM!
And then, a huge shadow tentacle emerged from the ground, slamming the third and last Nightmare Claw into the ground, shattering it into pieces.
"Heal them well!" Rita said. "We can't have any of them die on us!"
Elayne quickly smiled, feeling relieved once more to have such reliable friends at her side.
"Y-YOUUU!"
However, their foe wasn't going to take this lightly. With a wrathful roar, Dorothea's surroundings began to distort, Dreams and Nightmares slowly beginning to merge together into reality…
"[Nightmare World Manifestation]!"
