Chapter 554: All-Consuming Ice
-----
Black knew that there wasn't anything else he could do other than fight, he was cornered, and Drake wasn't going to play around with him, he had a grudge against him, and he had come to do everything he could to kill him.
The jewel within his chest began to gather the last bits of negative energy, making it overflow all around his vessel, exploding into a mass of pure darkness that began to cover the vessel's body.
This darkness then suddenly materialized, turning into a jet-black armor, tightly covering the man's body. This was a basic technique for defense, as the phantom of Black had been cornered and he didn't had any other alternative.
"An armor… how original…" sighed Drake.
FLAAASH!
With just a thought, Drake's magic was unleashed, using his eight heads at the same time to multi-task and conjure even more powerful and complex magic at the same time, a downpour of black ice began to fall over Black!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The enormous icicle spears reached Black in an instant, as they clashed over the floor and began to spread a black ice, which exuded a deadly black smoke as they hit the ground, spreading a phantasmal and deathly aura that seemed to consume the life of anyone that touched it!
Black quickly began to fly away, using strong impulses of darkness to circle around Drake and then pointing at him the enormous dragon with his claws, two enormous blades made of darkness materialized, which were then covered by red-colored auras, and infused with black phantom.
FLASH! FLASH!
The two blades then flew towards Drake in an instant with incredible speed, reaching up to him and piercing through his enormous armor made of scales, and then detonating into deadly and thundering explosions.
BOOOOMM!!!
The darkness that exploded within the two blades pierced through Drake's flesh, tearing apart a large chunk of his body, but this flesh quickly recovered as Black glanced at the scene in shock.
Tendrils of flesh began to coil around one another, and the lost flesh was recovered while the bone also recovered at an increasing speed, every cell lot was easily regenerated through an endless self-division.
Black was left speechless as he glanced at the scene, stopping for a few seconds, which was enough for Miranda to abuse this opening!
BOOM!
Suddenly, the ground below Black exploded, forcing him to jump away as a large black snake coated in chaos and miasma emerged, countless mold tentacles came out of its body, reaching up to Black at increasing speed!
The powerful tentacles acted like deadly whips, clashing over the floor around Black constantly, ultimately reaching him, coiling around him, and coating him in the mold!
"W-What is this strange substance?!" thought Black, as his entire body was suddenly overed entirely in mold!
However, it didn't lasted that long, a flash of darkness came out of his chest, as a shockwave of shadows was unleashed from his body, clashing against the powerful mold mass trying to devour him, taking away this entire relentless and annoying mass and vaporizing it with sheer magical power!
BOOOOMMM!!!
And at the same time, darkness poured out of him and generated dozens of copies of his own body, the real body quickly began to move around the battlefield, flying towards Miranda and targeting her, each clone made of shadows conjured powerful spells, beams of darkness, projectiles in the shape of spears made of shadows, and bullets of obscure energy, clashing over her body!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Miranda, however, didn't falter, her vessel's body continued to tear down as she had already infected it with a lot of mold, enough to make it possible for her to recover the lost flesh with it easily, while protecting herself with a coating veil of chaos.
She then shaped this chaos as several spikes, which covered her body in an instant, the attacks that reached her spikes were suddenly distorted and dispelled before they could deal any damage. Black realized the amazing potential of Chaos-Attribute, capable of even negating other elements by distorting their very structure!
…But he didn't had any time to think things through nor admire the potential of Chaos-attribute, a second after, Drake emerged behind him, his enormous body seemed to move at a speed that shouldn't belong to such a body.
Each of his heads opened their mouths and unleashed different breath attacks containing the various elements he could wield, explosions of phantasmal blue flames, black darkness, soul-damaging nightmares, slicing windstorms, and freezing winter elements fell over Black, a storm of elements and a total display of the insanity that was fighting a monster such as Drake.
"S-So many elements! J-Just what… what are you?!" asked Black in utter shock, trying to evade as much as he could, but each breath attack came one after the other, making it a constant pressuring beams of destruction.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
And then, it felt as if space and time distorted as countless spears made of ice the size of over ten meters each began to emerge literally anywhere where the eye could see, Black was completely overwhelmed as he tried to defend using his darkness and barriers, but the ice continued to pierce through his body and freeze him, and to boot, beams of chaos continued to fall over him from all sides, massacring his armor even more!
He tried to run away several times, fight back with his martial techniques merged with magic, and even did countless other things, but everything failed against this overwhelming and constant power, a barrage of endless magic attacks.
Ice, ice anywhere the eye could see, the only thing he could see was ice.
Consuming him constantly, the ice became the grave of his aspirations, of his dreams, of everything he could had ever been, and of everything he once was.
His eyes distorted as he felt the embracing coldness of ice encompass his entire being, and then, enormous jaws devoured him, tearing his vessel apart, and crushing his soul, shattering it into pieces, melting it into primordial energies, and killing him, once and for all.
His consciousness faded away, as his last thoughts were simple and unexpectedly, they came along with admiration towards his foe.
"I-Incredible… I've been… Completely overwhelmed…"
TRUUMMM…!
His consciousness finally disappeared, as Drake felt a surge of power reaching his souls and body, although at the end, it resulted not being as much as he originally imagined he would get by eating this being.
"Hahh… That was certainly a bit satisfying…" he sighed in relief.
Things were finally done, although they seemingly ended rather fast and abruptly, for a man that was soon to become a father, that was for the best.
Miranda smiled as she quickly went back to her usual form, the snake she had become was suddenly gone. Its body wasn't stored anywhere but she had assimilated the corpse and now had the power to take on its form at any time she wanted.
"Well, I think Kuro and Kumo should be done as well, right?" she asked.
"Yeah… Let's go back, I want to eat something tastier to change this bad flavor in my mouth…" sighed Drake.
Meanwhile, within her hideout, Red seemingly sensed that what had happened.
"So Black couldn't even stand a chance… Just who… who did this?"
