Then, the following turn of events caused all three of them to believe that they were hallucinating.

They must have consumed some sort of drug that had been released in the air to cause hallucinatory visions.

Not only were the mushrooms large and various, they all had different effects as well. Mainly because Loeri decided that was the way that it wanted them. Thus, the mushrooms all contained varying and different poisons.

They were harmful in large doses, as all poisons were.

By now, had they been in their right minds, the three would have decided to work together, however Rhoda was still under the impression that her two teammates had decided to betray her.

As such, she charged out once she managed to break free, sending her right into the thick of the mushrooms.

\"Captain!\"

Rhoda ignored them, chancing the mushrooms over traitorous subordinates any day.

However, Rhoda also failed to heed the voice in her mind that told her she was being foolish. She turned her head to jeer at them, only go plunge headfirst against a giant mushroom, knocking her dizzy.

A large amount of spore kicked up, causing her to cough violently, and while she expected both David and Kiel to catch up to her, they did no such thing.

She hurriedly moved along, deeper into the numerous mushrooms.

Rhoda continued coughing, her eyes watering. They grew increasingly violent, and she felt as if there was something lodged in her chest.

After a period of intense coughing, after a final, violent hack, she spat something out.

It was a large clump of vibrant green that caused her hair to stand on end, shocked beyond belief. Similarly, her face turned green as she felt disgusted by what just happened.

Likewise, David and Kiel were facing their own problems.

The large number of tiny rabbits and wolves that were surrounding them made them feel apprehensive. They wanted to go after their captain, but they weren't able to because they got stopped.

Kiel kept glancing in Rhoda's direction, but couldn't see her at all. He started to get nervous, but there was nothing they could do.

The damn animals were all running around and causing chaos until he felt as if everything was a blur.

It was like an ever-moving collection of patterns that caused him to feel dizzy and unbalanced.

The most damning thing was the bunnies were the ones who were chasing the wolves. Then, the mushrooms entrapped the bunnies, and the wolves then escaped.

The nonsensical cycle repeated like this until they felt like they were on the verge of losing control.

Kiel and David both suspected that they were hallucinating as well as their captain. What else could explain this course of events?

David slapped his face, but other than causing his vision to swim and spin, nothing changed in the scene in front of him.

\"Could it be that all of this is real?\" he questioned with uncertainty.


David charged forward and tried to attack a portion of the creatures, only for all three types of creature to turn against him, instantly drowning him under the large number of animals and mushrooms.

Kiel let out a shout of alarm as he hurriedly rushed forward towards David, only for him to stare in shock as the crowd of the animals and fungi dispersed, and the place on the ground was blank save for the appearance of his friend's clothes.

None of the other animals approached at this time, leaving a conspicuous blank spot on the floor.

\"What is happening?!\" he couldn't help but shout to the sky dramatically. \"David, how could you be divested of your clothes like this! How can you die peacefully if you die naked?!\"

Watching them from up high, yet again, Alec had to stifle his laugh, turning it into a muffled cough.

However, it was not heard by any of the three within his array.

This new array of his that caused a severe drop in mental abilities, paired with Loeri's mushrooms that caused hallucinatory and auditory confusion, worked perfectly well together.

The three opponents could probably confuse themselves to death and not get anywhere.

They were already self-destructing before Bunbun and Fenrir entered, but with the addition of Loeri's spores floating around, they were even more muddled.

Alec's lips twitched again when he saw Rhoda try to commit suicide by smashing her head against a giant mushroom, only to pause.

Confused, Rhoda tried it a few more times, only bouncing off the mushroom's elastic stem.

\"Why won't it work!\" Rhoda shouted.

She ran randomly a few more times, smashing into random mushrooms. She didn't even look at the various trees that were strewn here and there. She was completely focused on the appearance of the mushrooms.

Looking over at David and Kiel, one of them were passed out while the other one was diving into the horde of rabbits and wolves, swiping left and right as he tried to find his friend, having stripped off his shirt in preparation of placing it on his apparently naked friend that was missing.

He didn't even notice that the original spot where David had collapsed was the place his friend was.

Kiel grabbed the shirt and pants that had fallen to the ground, as well as the various weapons and undergarments that were his friend's, storing them.

\"I will keep them in your memory,\" Kiel said solemnly.

Alec watched with undisguised interest, not bothering to cover the smirk on his face. He'd never seen anyone react like this before, and everything was fodder and information that he could use for later on.

More than that, it was wildly entertaining. Their thought processes, that was.

At this point of time, Elysia had finished with her three already and were lugging them behind her.

She tied them up securely and deposited them at the base of the tree that Alec was perched on, swiftly hopping up.

She casually pecked Alec on the cheek, causing him to look at her, before she turned her attention to the chaos that was happening down below.

\"What's this?\" she asked curiously, a smile painted on her lips. She seemed awfully amused.

\"I'm trying out a new array on them.\"

The new couple peered down at the three stooges with amusement.

\"What if I…\" Elysia started.

Alec gestured to her, telling her to what she wanted.

Elysia gleefully sent down her Ash Phoenix, which also multiplied in the presence of the array.

The Ash Phoenix dived down and started pecking at Kiel, causing the poor man to shout out, alarmed.

The man ran and sought refuge from the bunnies and wolves, even hiding under the mushroom caps, but the various Ash Phoenixes still attacked him.

Similarly, the same thing was happening to Rhoda, who was still trying to commit suicide via mushroom. She shrieked, running from mushroom to mushroom.

At this moment of time, David woke up, only to find that he was completely naked. Shocked, he stood up instantly, using his hands to cover himself, attracting Kiel's attention.

\"My friend!\" Kiel shouted loudly, using his shirt as a cover as she dashed towards David, half naked.

Alarmed, David took a step back. \"Stay back! Also, where are my clothes?!\"

The two then proceeded to chase each other around the clearing.

Elysia started breaking into laughter, burying her face in Alec's chest, sneaking peeks at them occasionally.

Despite himself, Alec found himself smiling. He planted a kiss on Elysia's cheek before telling Loeri to put all six people here who had come after them under its control.

Finally, he knocked them out.
