"MEEE!" Blackie didn't waited for Arthurious response, grabbing him by his robes and carrying him away!
"You bastard… So you dare fight me with a mere clone? Although this is also an Avatar representing my soul, I am by no means as weak as you." Said the Emperor.
"Just what are you? I am already getting tired of fighting those three other idiots inside the Arena… What are your goals?" Asked Frank.
"My goals? They align with the ones giving you a hard time back inside the arena… I simply wanted a new and fresher body." Said the Emperor. "But you took away that opportunity from me… How pitiful. Guardian, you're really a nuisance."
"Guardian?! Why do you keep calling me like this?" Asked Frank in anger, as the Emperor smiled. The phantasmal darkness he was made of suddenly materialized into a large longsword, covered in black flames.
"What else are you but the guardian of that little fragment?" Asked the Emperor. "Worry not, I shall defeat you here and consume this clone of yours… It might prove to be a delightful meal for the awakening."
"So you're really planning on awakening that ancient demon to kill every person?! You're beyond saving." Sighed Frank, as his clone quickly gathered Cosmic Energies and was suddenly covered by starlight, his power quickly increasing as it drew power from his main body.
"Oho… What a surprise, you're capable of draining power from your main body, surprising!" Said the Emperor, clashing against Frank's clone in an instant, as his blade was blocked by Frank's clone mere hands shrouded in cosmic energy coming from Frank's Cosmic Arm, which possessed great power within, even shareable with his clone.
CLAAAASH!
"You're not half bad." Said the Emperor, as Frank remained in silence. Starlight quickly gathered around his surroundings as a rain of powerful projectiles quickly began to fall over the Emperor's phantasmal avatar!
"Cosmic Fall!" Roared Frank, conjuring one of his strongest Cosmic Magic Spells, combining the power of his various elements together as stars. These stars began o fall over the Emperor's entire body, covering his phantom body with many holes as the light of the projectiles continued to spread across his body!
"Hahhh… Not bad!" Laughed the Emperor, this was the first time someone was able to take head on such powerful blows aside from the Vampire Queen of the Vampire Family! The Emperor unleashed a swing of his blade, as a sea of darkness hit Frank's clone directly, dissipating all of his projectiles on the spot as well!
BOOOOMMM!!!
Frank's clone quickly stepped back as he generated a powerful materialized barrier of cosmic power, shielding himself from the powerful attack from the Emperor. He was slow and didn't evaded blows, but was incredibly strong himself!
CRASH!
His barrier suddenly shattered, as the Emperor pushed forward with his blade, swinging it several times! Each swing was like a storm of darkness being unleashed against Frank!
<br/>BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
"T-This guy… Can I handle him with just a clone?!" Thought Frank while gritting his teeth, as he quickly flew upwards and summoned several Legendary Weapons which he had been receiving from Orb's Dungeon. He had been stockpiling them for a while, planning to either sell them or convert them into System Points, but now they were an ideal weapon for him to try out what could truly affect this monster.
He shrouded them in cosmic and elemental energies, and fired them all against the Emperor in quick succession! The weapons flew incredibly quickly one after the other, clashing against the Emperor as he seemed to… smile? He was somehow enjoying this fight!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
He swung his blade, intercepting each attack with all his might. He was merely a phantom clone yet he was incredibly powerful already! Frank began to wonder if his original body power could even surpass Frank's true body… although his true body had a lot more of untapped power.
"Hah! Incredible! To think I would find a man that can fight with his own powers so much! You're really from another world, aren't you?!" Laughed the Emperor, swinging his blade and unleashing storms of spiraling dark winds that constantly attacked and chased Frank's clone. He evaded them or destroyed them with bright flashes of starlight, only for the Emperor to use these opportunities to intercept him and attack him even more fiercely.
CLAAAAASH!
Both clashed once more, as the Emperor's blade was intercepted by a large golden shield that Frank took out of his Inventory to defend.
"What's wrong? You're not going to act surprised?!" Laughed the Emperor. "It was very clear since you got here that you came from another world… It is very interesting how fate keep connecting us together, even the son of that bastard is here to confront me… Ah, well, it is not like I truly remember it completely…!"
CLAAASH!
His blade broke through Frank's shield, as Frank's eyes opened wide open. Not only the Emperor knew he was from another world, but also he knew something about "Fate" and also… he mentioned his own father!
"How do you know about my father?!" Asked Frank, clashing back against the Emperor as his fists were shrouded with the power of his soul, clashing with countless punches against him, his fists moved so fast they generated the illusion of being thousands after thousands of them!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
However, the Emperor continued to block his powers and attacks with his blade, barely receiving any damage over his phantasmal body, he only laughed and smiled maliciously as he looked back at Frank.
"Would you believe me if I told you I have no idea? I keep trying to remember my own memories, but they're all in shambles! I've been trying for thousands of years to recover them, I even know of others like me… others within your world as well, within the many worlds inside the Cosmic Map!" He said. "You, kid, is the key to bring me there… Well, I already got the key anyways, so I just have to keep you busy until I can open the door!"
"What… kind of nonsense are you talking about?! How come someone from this random world I entered know anything about me…?!" Asked Frank, as he was affected by the words of the Emperor.
