"Who're you? Are you the one who pulled my flying vessel here?" Bobby spoke in the same tongue slowly.
"Your Katakara Tongue sounds funny. Just like a toddler speaking for the first time. Listen, carefully, I'm Queen Dryad, the sole remaining descendent of the tree god. And you are trespassing on my land, filthy, uncivilized human." Queen Dryad spoke through the mouths of the three human heads of the beast. "So, here is what you should do to preserve your life. Keel, surrender and serve me for a thousand years, then I'll set you free, and considering your service of excellency, I may grant you a lot of enticing powers and skills from the lost world."
"Queen Dryad of the tree god!" Bobby muttered under his breath and then with a thought, he activated the Satanic Form as his body started morphing; taller by two more feet, luster black skin tone, and a pair of greenhorns. He took a simple step forward, turned into black blurry, and the next he reappeared holding the strange beast's two necks.
The middle human head of the beast roared and blasted a black beam. Bobby dodged it along with two human heads in his hand.
Now the strange beast was left with a single human head.
"Your impudence is unbounded, just as your ancestors betrayed us, gods. Sinner, forget about sparing you. I'm not gonna let you take a step further outside of my premise. Kart, I'm letting you free of my control. Kill this stupid stone ape and bring his corpse to me," Queen Dryad's voice came from the center of the island.
After that, the beast dashed toward Bobby and made a slashing motion with its claws.
Bobby raised his hand, caught it, and with a little grab, he destroyed both the front paws of the beast. His Satanic Form granted him an energy level of 225, whereas the energy level of the beast with a human head and lion's body was just 210! So, it was an easy fight for him from the very beginning.
Following the last head of the beast being severed from its body, Bobby started walking back toward the center. The body rolled on the ground, convulsing, and turned into black lumber.
"Queen Dryad of the Tree God! I'm coming for you. And let's see what kind of tree you are." Bobby said and then he whispered, "Wind Walk! "
Next, a cluster of white clouds appeared around his two legs and he began soaring high above.
As he flew higher and higher to the middle of the island, he saw a gigantic charred black oak tree standing tall.
"That must be it," Bobby said, and then he started flying toward it.
After a few minutes, he reached the place and stood on a thick branch of a tall banyan tree far away from the scorched black oak tree.
Observing closer, he saw that a certain area around that oak tree was carbon black and not a single weed grew on it.
"I presume you must be Queen Dryad." Bobby continued speaking in the Archaic Katakara tongue, "Now, I understand why you want me to serve you for a thousand years. You're dying. And you have 20 more years to live, yeah?"
The gigantic oak shook after hearing that, then it turned into a beautiful lady with tan skin. She wore a crown made from dry wood and her long black hair cascaded like a steep waterfall. Her body was covered in torn black shacks, and her eyes were as calm as deep well water.
But on another observation, Bobby saw she looked sickly as her lips dried, cracked, and overall, she looked petite.
"Are you really a god?" he asked with some interest.
"Yes, I'm the sole survivor of that Divine Cataclysmic Descent." Queen Dryad responded as she suddenly turned all moody and shook her body in fright from time to time and she whispered in a trembling tone, "It lasted for a century. No one knew what it was or why it was targeting everyone one at a time. Every Great God started falling one after another and I survived along with some kids with mixed blood lower level gods. After sending them to a far place, I returned to help my mother, who fought that thing."
Suddenly she realized something and yelped, looking at the Golden Ocular eyes, "You devil-spawn! You're one of the tainted ones."
Then the next thing, she already appeared before Bobby, grabbed him by his neck, and pulled his body up in the air.
"Lady! Can we talk this through?" Bobby said, choking as he tried gathering all of his strength, but he felt powerless. Now he knew how an ant would feel in front of an elephant.
"You dare to cast a demonic mental manipulation spell on me? Die devil-spawn, die!" Queen Dryad yelled in madness and started squeezing Bobby's neck with more strength.
Crack! Crack! Crack!.....
His neck bones started cracking, and he groaned once in extreme heart-wrenching pain. This was the very first time both in his previous and these lives that he became so powerless. And the last thought that came to his mind was, 'So this is the strength of those Archaic Gods! Fine, time to use my trump card.'
With a thought, the vertical crimson eyelids appeared on his forehead and slowly opened up, showing a pitch-black dark eye with a single ring in it with four dots of different colors along the ring.
Seeing that vertical eye, Queen Dryad was dumbstruck for a moment. She released him, dropping his body down. Then she knelt on the ground, touching her forehead on the dusty ground and the crown disappeared too.
Bobby stretched his hand, touched her forehead, and was just about to suck the vitality out of her.
But he halted as he heard the next words coming from her mouth.
"Dryad Lily, the 19th of the Tree Tribe greets you, My Supreme Lord!.... Your benevolence. Please forgive this ignorant little girl for failing to recognize you and my sinful approach."... (please, stay tuned!)
