"Why won't you DIE already?!"
The Flame Emperor roared, with his body as wounded as it was, he quickly attempted to regenerate through his powers and the abilities he stole from the Four Hounds.
However, something seemed off! Each wound that Drake and Surtr left behind were "infected" by a bright mass of white flames, frost, or light.
Such elements corrupted his own black flames and did not allow them to regenerate naturally! He shook his entire body, beginning to shapeshift and regenerate more mass so he could simply discard the wounded areas.
However, it wasn't as if he had all the time of the world to do whatever he pleased! Drake and Surtr's families instantly went for the offensive!
"My turn."
FLAAASH!
Benladann and Miranda's fused form, resembling a gigantic humanoid chaos dragon, fusing both the powers of the Dragon and Titan Bloodlines they held, alongside their innate Chaos and Miasmic Powers, emerged behind the Flame Emperor.
Their black scaled body of tremendous might and behemoth-like size moved at a ramping speed, swinging their titanic Battle Axe, Hel, across the entire back of the Flame Emperor! His slow reaction speed proving to be fatal.
"[Chaotic Battle Axe Arts]: [Chaotic Void Slash]!"
SLAAASH! SLAAASH! SLAAASH! SLAAASH!
A barrage of slashing blows struck the Flame Emperor's back, reverberating with countless chaotic explosions, the black flames that made up his body started to grow distorted! A slashing attack alone didn't do much, but dozens of attacks at once were bound to weaken him severely.
"URGHH…?! Chaos…!" The Flame Emperor roared. "So you're the one that wield it?! Kukuku… But it is too weak for me to be afraid! My Black Flames of the End draw their power from the concept of the End! Chaos cannot contend against it!"
The Flame Emperor retaliated as his body shapeshifted once more, gaining dozens of muscular, blazing arms, and pummeling Benladann and Miranda with a barrage of devastating punches.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"And your Black Flames are not that strong compared to these." Benladann's voice smiled. "Miranda! Erebus!" She channeled the power of Miranda's Demonic Flames and Erebus Chaotic Flames at once, as her entire body suddenly flared with dark purple fire.
"Alright, take all the power you need!" Miranda laughed.
"Tch, to think I need to cooperate with you now!" Erebus, one of the Princes of the Chaotic Plane complained.
Benladann's draconic jaws opened as she unleashed a tremendous Chaotic Flames Dragon Breath, immediately overpowering the Flame Emperor's blazing fists and blasting through a considerable part of his body!
BOOOOOOMMMMM!!!
"URGHHHH?! AAAAGHHH…!"
With a monstrous scream, the Flame Emperor cowered in agony, quickly leaping away from Benladann's Chaotic Breath! His blazing body kept shapeshifting, now already having lost his human-like form.
"S-Shit! How come your chaos flames can hurt me this much?!"
He couldn't understand! He had been boosted twice through two Red Orb Fragments, plus he was wielding the power of the Black Flames of the End he had inherited from a part of the Venerable of Flames inheritance.
"Where do you think you're going?!"
Surtr roared, stepping in with his friends, as his gigantic, metallic body descended from the skies and clashed against the Flame Emperor's body, unleashing a devastating shockwave of Origin Flames that began to distort the Flame Emperor's body.
CRAAAAASSSSH!!! RUMBLE!
"UURGGHHH…! Y-YOUUUU!!!"
With a furious roar, the tyrant's entire body transformed into a gigantic snake, devouring Surtr and then spitting him down while covered on purple and black flames!
BOOOOOOMMMM!!!ραпdαs `n?ν?| сom
"Tch, that didn't even hurt, old man."
Surtr, however, seemed lustrous! His metallic body looked completely undamaged. However, the Flame Emperor paid no mind to his taunt, as he smiled.
"It doesn't matter if you think it didn't hurt you! You've already been cursed!"
"Cursed?"
Surtr suddenly realized his entire body was being wrapped by countless snakes of purple fire, which were constantly grinding at his scales, trying to melt them away.
"Oh, that might had worked before."
FLAAAASH!
However, Surtr simply fend off the snakes made of flames with a shockwave of energy from his own body, which instantly made them not disappear, but gather on his hands, encompassed on a bubble of Origin Flames.
"[Heavenly Smith]"
FLUOSH!
And in a single second, Surtr remade these flames and fused them with his Origin Flames, fusing them into a huge floating sword of purple color.
"Have it back!"
With a mighty roar, Surtr sent back the sword directly into the tyrant's face, mocking him as the sword pierced his black flames body and exploded!
BOOOOMMMM!!!
"GRAAAH! YOU DAMN…!"
However, before the tyrant could even begin attacking, Drake, Benladann, Miranda, his daughters, and Surtr's party bombarded him with long-ranged attacks.
"We're not even giving you the time to think!" With a mighty roar, Drake gathered divine energy into his gigantic rainbow frost sword. "[Crescent Rainbow Frost Blade of The End: Oblivion]!"
Oblivion! The almighty fusion between all of Drake's Divine Weapons and Divine Spirits! Now with the addition of Gabriel, Ariel, and Hephaestus, it gained the elements of light, technomancy, water, and fire!
And by combining all of their Divine Abilities together at the same time, the crescent, rainbow slash he unleashed seemed to hold the power to split the heavens!
SLAAAAAAASSSSH!!! RUMBLE!
That single slash divided the Flame Emperor's whole body into two, the smaller half instantly exploding, as the monstrous emperor desperately fused back with it!
However, the wounds were already dealt, and the damage he received was tremendous, and that's without even beginning to explain the gigantic landmark that Drake left behind in the ground, a huge pit the went all the way down to the depths of the earth and might as well opened a hole to the Underworld…
"Y-YOU BASTARD…!"
The Flame Emperor, on his own frustration, enchanted his body to his limits, as a gigantic shockwave of black flames emerged from within him, pushing everyone attacking him away from his vicinity!
TRUUUUUUMMM…!
"You're getting too ahead of yourselves, you mere insects! I'll show you what true PAIN is!" He laughed. "[Primordial Flames of Demise]! Come to me!"
Suddenly, a concentration of darkness so black that it resembled a black hole started to distort space itself, shattering it and cracking the empty air as the world around the Flame Emperor and everyone else began to change!
"Rise, my true vessel!"
And that wasn't all… the Skeleton of Muspel started to move.
