Roots of the Arbor Exploratory Excursion
It was a matter of time since Phantylia entered the Ambrosial Arbor, and plotted the destruction of Luofu. The crew ventured through the deepest core after entering the Roots of the Arbor. Conrad, Jing Yuan, and Pyra took the lead while the rest followed. They tread cautiously while Jing Yuan treaded casually. Yet, the Lombax felt a bit of a chilling atmosphere while maintaining his precaution.
Ratchet: I don't like this... Inside this tree is giving us the creeps...
Clank: Pyra, you know about that tree and this world, right?
Pyra: Yes. Aside from the fact the Ambrosial Arbor is considered a cursed tree -- invoking the Transmutation Arcanum and tampering with the Ambrosial Arbor is very dangerous.
Conrad: Cursed? Glad Kin stayed considering he could get scared easily
Ratchet: Yeah. He does not want to be some kind of mara-struck monster.
Clank: True.
Venturing straightforwardly, Jing Yuan raised his hand and motioned everyone to stop, confusing the crew and Dan Heng.
Conrad: Jing Yuan?
Before they could ask, a feminine sinister laughter Lord Ravager Phantylia's voice spoke when she sensed Jing Yuan's presence. They all set their sights on the green flame of Heliobus -- the Lord Ravager herself, who floated above the lotus platform a distance away from the group.
Phantylia: Oh? Hehehee, has the general of the Luofu chosen to grace me with his presence?
Conrad: I had a feeling you were here waiting for us, Phantylia.
Phantylia: Oh? I see you've brought the Jedi and the benefactors...
Ratchet: Enough games, Phantylia! Why don't you just show yourself!
Phantylia: Patience, patience, let me make myself presentable...
What happened next was Phantylia soon absorbed the essence of the Arbor, gathering abundant energies from the Ambrosial Arbor into her. She could feel that kind of power coursing through her, the power of life and death...
Ratchet: What is she doing!?
Pyra: No! She's absorbing the power of the Ambrosial Arbor!
Everyone: What?!
Phantylia: Now I see why the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus hold themselves in such vibrant regard. The Arbor's traces really do possess the power of metamorphosis and resurrection.
Conrad: Be ready everyone! Something tells me this is gonna be a one helluva fight!
Jing Yuan: Dan Heng, guard my back. I'm counting on you.
Dan Heng: Understood.
Everyone drew their weapons and ran their way toward the Lord Ravager. But it was too late! Phantylia dived into the lotus as the platform spun and levitated above to the mist... When it stopped... a gigantic body emerged halfway from the mist with the lotus flower emblazoned on the giantess' tiara...
It was Phantylia's gigantic vessel born from the Ambrosial Arbor... Phantylia the Undying!!!
