Chapter 608 The Final Struggle
"MEEEHHEEE!"
Belle and the rest of my Familiar Army finally arrived, and what a way to do that! All of them finally caught up to us after eliminating almost all of the Undead Army that was swarming the other side of the city of dwarves, and quickly joined the battle.
"ROOOOAARRR!" Silver flew across the skies, using her mighty dragon breath to attack the Bone Dragons and give me some support.
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOOM!
"Guuuguuu!"
At the same time, Mimy showed up on her smaller, dark knight form, swinging her cursed blade, part of her own shell as a mimic, and slashing apart the limbs of the Bone Dragons one after another!
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLAAASH!
"MEEEEHE!"
Belle led the army, charging while running in midair, her entire body thundering with mighty divine lighting, impacting the chest of a Bone Dragon and destroying it, making it explode into pieces!
CRAAAAAASSSSH!
At the same time, I noticed Saphee and Huginn catching up with the larger Spider, attacking it with Huginn\'s Shadow Feather Projectiles and Saphee\'s Materialized Poison Attacks!
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The earths shook before their bombardment, the spider evaded some attacks, but ultimately had its entire torn to pieces, leaving behind a small, black jewel behind, overflowing with the power of a million souls within.
Is this something like a Soul Core? A part of the Demon King! It was just his whole arm, but it ended bringing way too much trouble… Does it means that every limb he has possess such a power?
"LILY! CRUSH IT!" I cried, as I constantly pummeled my way through armies of Undead Dragons, who became smaller and smaller as the black jewel lost its energy to summon stronger ones.
"ALRIGHT!!!" Lily roared, running towards the Black Jewel, and materializing a huge hammer out of stone and ores. "[Spirit Titan\'s Mighty Hammer: Atlas]!!!"
TRUUUUMMM…!
He enormous hammer descended from above, reaching the black jewel, as the millions of souls screamed the moment it was hit and shattered into pieces!
CRAAAAAAAASSSSSHHH!!!
"NOOOOOOOO…! UUURRGGH…!"
"HUH?!"
However, Lily\'s hammer was suddenly shattered into pieces as she was pushed away, the crystal was destroyed, but the millions of souls were all still obeying the Demon King, fusing together into a gigantic, phantasmal monster resembling a dragon… A Ghost Dragon?!
"GROOOOOAAAARRGH! MY… FURY CANNOT BE CLENCHED! MY… RAGE CAN\'T BE CONTAINED! I MUST DESTROY… I MUST KILL!!!"
The mass of souls combined into a faint, ghostly dragon resembling Fafnir, as it swiftly flew towards Lily, attacking her with its huge claws!
"[Divine Earth Spirit Walls]!"
Lily defended herself by conjuring huge walls which were completely shattered into pieces one after another by the huge Ghost Dragon\'s phantasmal claws!
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRAAASH!
"T-This is bad! I\'m running out of Mana!" Lily panicked.
"Familiars!" I cried.
Belle and company quickly swarmed the Ghost Dragon before they could reach Lily. Divine lightning struck its huge form, destroying dozens of its souls at once, shadow feathers slashed its body, cursed blade attacks cut it down even further, ice and water magic bombarded it entirely, and even powerful poisonous magic detonated upon contact!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOOM!
"RUUUUAAAARRGGHHH…!" The Ghost Dragon didn\'t faltered even as it was bombarded by powerful attacks, swinging its entire phantasmal body, and unleashing powerful blows while spreading Phantasmal Flames everywhere!
BAAAAM! BAAAAAM! BAAAAAAAM!
My familiars were all swiftly overwhelmed, Silver, and Saphee were thrown away like ragdolls, Huginn was kicked through midair, Mimy was crushed into the ground, and Belle who resisted the most was quickly engulfed on phantasmal flames, falling into the floor unconsciously.
"YOUR SOULS SHALL FEED MY POWER!" The monstrous Ghost Dragon was about to kill them all, attempting to suck their souls out of their bodies!
"STOP!!!"
However, my claws reached its body faster, as I punched the Ghost Dragon into the floor, its huge body suddenly losing a big part of itself as hundreds of souls were destroyed on impact!
BAAAAAAMMM…!
"URGGH…! YGGDRASIL!!!"
The Ghost Dragon suddenly shapeshifted its body, gaining over four more heads, resembling a monstrous hydra! All heads fired deadly dragon breaths at once, blasting my entire body with hue explosions.
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
"URGH…!" I was forced to step back, feeling overwhelmed again even though I was finally beginning to spread my Terrain. Those beams hit directly though my soul and left huge scars on it! My barrier resisted some of the damage, so I cant even imagine how much it would had done normally!
"RAAAAAH! DIE!" The huge Ghost Dragon shapeshifted its form once more, turning into a huge, massive draconic head, and attempting to devour me whole!
"I WON\'T LET YOU!"
CRAAAAAASSSSSH!!!
A huge blazing and wooden fist hit the Ghost Dragon directly, spiritual phoenix flames exploding and spreading around, burning through the entire phantasmal monster!
"Mark!" I cried, finding out he had finally come to help once more.
His form had changed, as he slowly took a more humanoid form, while still keeping his bird-like appearance, standing upright, with two huge and muscular wooden arms, and wings behind. His head resembled that of his Ent self, but with a huge phoenix-shaped helmet.
"I\'m back! Sorry for taking so long!" Mark said.
"GGRRRHHHH…! DETESTABLE!!!"
The Ghost Dragon didn\'t even let us chat, its entire body shapeshifted once more into a hydra-like form, firing several Ghostly Dragon Breath Beams against us!
"Careful, those can hurt your soul really badly!" I said, flying around and trying to evade the beams.
Mark followed me around, but seemed slightly more confident, bringing out the Berserk Sword I had gifted to him once more, and imbuing it with his powers.
"Don\'t worry!" He roared. "[Infernal Phoenix Blade Arts]: [Soul Burning Slash]!"
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLAAAASH!
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
Using his blazing sword, Mark intercepted each beam and destroyed it before it could hurt our souls, while flying around in midair valiantly.
Oh wow, he\'s so cool when he really wants to!
Ugh, no! I cannot distract myself!
"ROOOOAAARRRGH!"
The Ghost Dragon shapeshifted into a faster, flying form, resembling a serpentine dragon, and flying directly towards us while opening his jaws!
"I\'LL EAT YOUR SOULS!"
"Not on my watch!"
However, another dragon head emerged above the skies, made of shadows, and unleashing a terrific draconic beam of shadows and void, blasting through the Ghost Dragon\'s body!
BOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!
