"These guys were a real piece of work… Phew." Maria sighed in relief, turning back to her ghostly form.
POOF!
"Indeed… Sorry for not being able to help as much." Jonathan sighed. "I would had never been able to defeat them myself…"
"Don't sweat it Jonathan." Maria sighed. "Your help is already good enough-"
"Mama not fair! I wanted to fight those big dragons too!" Arachne appeared from within Maria's shadows. "I got EXP anyways but it feels unfair…"
"I know, I'm sorry dear, but you've gotta wait and be patient." Maria smiled. "For now, let's go see those grumpy dragons…"
Maria, Jonathan, and Arachne flew back down, regrouping with Lucifer, Partner, and Emeraldine.
"Hey, not fair! Why did you had to fight alongside him again?! Ugh!" Partner was getting more and more jealous. Maria could barely handle her tantrum. "Fight at my side next, okay?"
"Sigh…" Maria sighed, giving her a head pat. "You did well, Partner." And then gave her a lovely kiss in her soft and red lips. "You're really special, I love you."
"Uwaaahhh~" Partner started blushing while steam was coming from her pointy ears. That's all it took to calm her tantrums. "Y-Yesh~ I wuv you too~ Heheh~"
"T-That's… are we next in the line?" Lucifer wondered, fidgeting around.
"Hahaha, I don't think we should be kissing while we are in the middle of a dungeon…" Emeraldine sighed. "Partner needed that to calm down, she's too grumpy sometimes."
"Yeah, sorry, when we're back home, I'll give everyone lots of love." Maria sighed. "Now… into more important matters, you two. [Transfiguration of Death]!"
Maria swiftly grabbed the Divine Souls of the two Divine Dragons, Gjoll and Leiptr, and put them back into their bodies, before she healed them using Death Restoration.
FLAAAAASH!
Their souls and bodies became one once more, becoming a never seen before Undead Divine Frost Dragons! Gjoll and Leiptr were back once more…
"Ungh?! W-What is this sensation?! Ahh… D-Didn't we die?!" Gjoll wondered in shock. "W-Wait, it can't be! You turned us into Undead?!"
"So that's what it is…" Leiptr sighed. "I can't believe you would go this far… Maria."
"Sorry, but we explicitly didn't shattered your souls because we didn't wanted you gone." Maria giggled. "Now, will you let us explain to you what we wanted to do?"
"Explain?" Gjoll sighed. "Well… I feel like I cannot even harm you anymore. So fine, talk away…"
"What do you want to explain?" Leiter said angrily, crossing his arms.
Although Undead were usually very obedient, these were much different. The reason was because they were still Divine Beings, demigods, to say the least. Due to this reason, their will was even capable of resisting Maria's control over her Undead, granting them a pseudo independence.
Yet, still, it felt as if they were still forbidden from harming her, though they could still not obey her at all and just go away from her.
Nonetheless, through the battle, the two siblings developed a lot of respect to them, their bravery, strength, and wits surprised them to no extent.
Deep down, both wished to hear what Maria wanted to say.
"We don't want to kill Tear." Maria sighed. "We'll slap her really good and take away that crown from her head. And we'll try to bring her back to her normal state."
"Y-You don't want to kill her?!" Gjoll asked. "Yet what you desire to do is still equal to stripping her of all her strength and authority…"
"But still… you wish her wellbeing?" Leiptr wondered.
"Indeed." Maria sighed.
"This is what I was trying to say before!" Veredorr facepalmed. "Why do you guys don't listen?! Also Maria you seemed deadest on just killing them…"
"I mean, the EXP was necessary." Maria giggled. "And I knew I could turn them into our side like this anyways… Now, will you join us? Tear has gone insane, if this continues, she'll kill even more innocents… Are you sure you want to die in that hill?"
"No…" Gjoll sighed.
"Brother!" Leiptr was surprised. "But-"
"Leiptr! Stop pretending that this is fine…" Gjoll sighed. "Our gratefulness for Tear is the greatest we have, yet, we both know that her dreams are not really good for her, what she desires… her wicked goals, we can't just let her become a monster that not even herself will be able to forgive."
"That's… Well, you're not wrong." Leiptr sighed. "I just… I want to protect her, I don't want anything bad to happen to her. I don't want her to be harmed…!"
"Then let's just go with them and help her! Let's take away that wicked crown she has, and turn her back into the real self that we've never seen before… The Real Tear that this ghost talked about." Gjoll said with a smile.
"The real Tear…" Leiptr sighed. "W-Well, fine! But I still haven't forgiven you for killing Valkoinen!"
"Hahaha, that's fair." Maria giggled. "Alright! It's done! Now, let's have a little meal, I'm hungry! Want some roasted meat you guys?"
"E-Eh? Sure…" Gjoll felt strange.
"T-This is not the time for feasting!" Leiptr angrily barked.
