Chapter 241 The duel has begun?
(POV: Lumiere)
This was the best situation I've been in since my threesome with Serena and Isadora.
A type of combat where I could hit them with my strongest attack and they wouldn't retaliate.
I couldn't estimate just how powerful Dendrossa was, even with my buffed up [Appraisal] skill.
So, the next best thing was going for the strongest attack I had.
And there were a Iot of those.
『Spirit King Avelnarogius』 could possibly "destroy" Dendrossa?s spiritual existence.
But... that would be taking sucker punching to a whole new level.
Now, it was a matter of what skill to use.
After a few tense minutes of contemplation, Dendrossa's impatience got the better of her and she interrupted my train of thought.
"We don't have all day, you know," she sneered, crossing her arms and rolling her eyes.
I smiled a bit and remarked. "Actually, we do," I calmly replied.
Dendrossa's irritation increased a bit.
I've never seen someone so eager to take an attack.
Dendrossa was strong, but how strong she was? I didn't know.
There was no need to use <<Gryphan, Grygan King?s Staff>> for my next attack.
It would add a significant boost to it, but there was a possibility I could get the synergistic output wrong.
I needed to go all out.
And more importantly, I needed to do it well.
I called upon my accumulated skill points, focusing some of them them on my [Element Merger] skill, amplifying its strength to an unprecedented level.
It now ranked as an SSS+.
This was the pinnacle of elemental manipulation.
The gold standard for my new spell: 「Elemental Requiem」.
Turning my gaze towards the sky, I spoke to Senesica.
She was still perched on top of my head.
Unlike her, Tapas and Abaddon were standing at the edge of the barrier.
Any other attack, and I might have told them to out of barrier, but if I could control it well enough, then there was no need for that.
Hopefully...
"Lady Senesica, are you alright staying up there?"
Meow.
"It'll be a really powerful attack," I told her.
In response, Senesica let out a contented meow.
"I'll be just fine, love" she reassured me.
There was no way I enjoyed her saying that in her cat form.
I... Did...
Satisfied with Senesica's response, I took a deep breath, allowing my mana to flow through my body.
With each inhalation, the elements responded, gathering in my outstretched palm.
A small flame flickered to life, accompanied by swirling water droplets, a patch of earthen soil, a gust of wind, inky darkness, and crackling bolts of lightning.
Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, Darkness, Lightning...
I was incorporating all these elements to form something more powerful.
The fusion of these six elemental forces was infused with spiritual energy, signifying the full actualization of the 「Elemental Spirit Magic」.
Dendrossa's interest was palpable as she observed the convergence of the elements.
Her eyes widened in anticipation, a smile playing at the corner of her lips.
"Oh, this is gonna be good," she murmured.
More, more, more.
I had to compress these elements and intricately weave the atoms of mana that composed each of them.
Each element weighed the same in mana scale count.
Each element was equivalent to the other in terms of number of atoms that composed them.
Meaning for every atom grouped to mix into one elemental atom mixture.
As the elements began to spin and revolve around one another, their individual colors blending to form a mesmerizing display, a dark purple orb materialized in the palm of my hand. Swirling rings of energy enveloped the pulsating orb, intensifying its gravity.
The sheer weight of the energy caused Stellaria's spatial barrier to fluctuate.
It was almost like it'd collapse.
The spirit energy put into the attack would cause some spiritual damage to Dendrossa.
But this was nothing that should "kill" an Immortal Demon King.
I put it in case the Elemental Requiem wasn't formidable enough.
So technically, this was Spirit Elemental Requiem.
It consumed 10,000 MP.
After holding the charged orb in my palm for what seemed like an eternity, Dendrossa spread her arms and legs wide.
"Enough stalling! Let it rip!" she commanded.
I could see her fangs shinning.
She was hungry to take the full force of the attack with her body.
Without a moment's hesitation, I released the orb from my grasp, watching it soar effortlessly towards Dendrossa.
The instant it made contact with her, an explosive shockwave engulfed her form, ripping her apart in a colorful display of destruction.
It was as if she'd been erased from existence, leaving behind no trace of her presence.
"Eh...?"
The remnants of the attack, now devoid of its intended target, hurtled towards the spatial field that Stellaria had erected.
To my relief, it fizzled and sputtered upon impact, failing to breach the protective barrier.
I mean, it was a spatial barrier after all, nothing could penetrate it.
This meant that everyone outside of the field would remain unharmed.
As the echoes of the vanished attack reverberated through the silence, I stood frozen in shock.
Dendrossa's body was nowhere to be found, not even a single speck of dust remained.
Panic welled up inside me as I glanced towards Abaddon and Tapas, their eyes wide with disbelief mirroring my own.
But I thought she could take an attack like that.
That was the only reason I went all it.
Was [Spirit Magic] that strong.
There was every chance the particles of spirit energy completely ripped her durable body apart.
Like an eraser, it "effectively deleted" her out of existence.
Slowly, I extended my trembling hand, pointing towards the space Dendrossa should have occupied.
Abaddon and Tapas followed my gaze, their expressions filled with confusion.
There was nothing there, as if Dendrossa had never existed at all.
Just as despair threatened to consume me, Stellaria floated towards me.
She circled around me, a serene aura emanating from her form.
"Oh cool, you killed the Immortal Demon King," she mused.
My heart sank even further as I desperately protested, "I didn't mean to kill her! It wasn't my intention!. Sh... She was just so..."
"Whatever, she's dead now... wouldn't that mean you own all her subordinates?"
"Wait! I do?!"
"Yeah, pretty much, you killed her so you take responsibility, duh.."
"No, this sucks!"
Before I could gather my thoughts, Senesica let out a soothing meow.
"Relax, she'll be back in five, four, three, two..."
Almost on cue, Dendrossa was standing some few meters behind me.
"HAHAHA HAHAHA!!!— Cough, cough, cough..."
Laughing with hands on her waist, the only thing that stopped her was a insect that flew into her mouth.
I rushed towards Dendrossa, my heart pounding with relief and joy.
Senesica gracefully leaped off my head and landed on her feet.
Tears streamed down my face as I embraced her.
"I'M GLAD YOU'RE ALIVE!"
Dendrossa lightly knocked the back of my head and smirked.
"What part of Immortal Demon King don't you understand?" she quipped.
I released her from my grasp.
Abaddon approached from behind me.
"Congratulations on your victory in the duel," she commended.
Dendrossa chuckled in response.
"That attack of yours was absolutely spectacular. It managed to wound my soul, but no worries, it'll heal," she shared.
"Sorry," I told her.
Dendrossa playfully slapped my arm and reassured me, "Don't sweat it, kid. It's all part of the game, and you played your part well."
Senesica leaned against Dendrossa's leg and began grooming her fur.
With a knowing expression, she purred softly, "I knew you'd come out on top. Never doubted you for a second."
I smiled. "Oh really?"
Senesica nodded affirmatively.
"We should find a more comfortable place to discuss."
Senesica transformed back into her normal form and added, "Preferably somewhere we can all relax... naked."
Her hands gently pressed on her huge breasts. A hot breath escaped her mouth.
She was serious.
I stared at her. "Naked?" I repeated.
Abaddon, seemingly unfazed by Senesica's suggestion, said "That's fine."
"I wanna get naked too," Dendrossa was already unbuckling her armor.
This wasn't a contest damn it!
"Any excuse to see Lumiere's rod is fine by me," said Stellaria.
"Is it huge?" Senesica asked.
Stellaria nodded. "He cums three times and it's still hard."
Senesica was already delighted by that news.
"But how big is it though?" Abaddon asked.
Stellaria then whispered something in her ear.
"Oh my," Abaddon said as she looked at me. "That's unnecessarily large."
"Eh?" said me and Tapas.
