Chapter 784 Now It's All Up To You!
-----
RUMBLE!
As the entire Tower of Skadi was crumbling apart, the mysterious Vampiress flew across its crumbling hallways. Now that the entire fight was destroying the place, it was the ideal time to act.
"With the tower crumbling apart, it means the security functions it holds have been severely damaged… This is my opportunity to get what I truly came here for!" The Vampiress thought, smiling.
She quickly arrived in front of a door in the top of the tower, as she quickly kicked it. The security system did not activate, just as she thought, allowing her to easily get inside.
FLAAASH!
And there it was, a huge, beautiful blue jewel, glowing with powerful Divine Light and the Divinity of Skadi herself…
"The Divine Tower's Core… It is here!" She smiled maliciously. "Finally…! It is within my grasp!"

Crack… crack… CRAAAASH!
The wolf-type Frost Beat shattered into pieces, as the Crown of Skadi hurriedly attempted to reform herself, taking now the form of a snake-like dragon that flew into the skies, it dropped yet another item, a big axe, which Maria grabbed quickly.
"You're dropping loot like crazy, are you that stupid?" Maria laughed, holding both a huge axe, the very axe of the Titan that granted her some new powers, and also the Laevateinn spear.
"S-SHUT UP!!! DIE!!!" The Crown of Skadi was desperate. Maria quickly noticed how her energy fluctuations were constantly lowering and becoming weaker and weaker.
She didn't had endless Divine Power, and most likely drained it or reabsorbed it from somewhere within this Tower.
"ROOOAARRRRR!!!"
She opened her jaws once more, made of ice, as she unleashed a devastating breath attack of pure frost everywhere, devastating her surroundings and everything else.
TRUUUUUUUUMMMMM…!
Maria and company had to swiftly evade or risk themselves getting frozen into statues, much like it happened to Gjoll or Leiptr.
"Is she just endlessly going to fight?!" Jonathan wondered.
"No, I can feel it, we've got her cornered now!" Maria said. "She's not going to continue forever; her energy is already running low! We need to keep pushing a bit further! Everyone, I'm counting on your strength!"
"ALRIGHT!" Everyone cheered, as they began running in circles, escaping from the deadly breath attack that the Dragon-form Frost Beast was unleashing constantly, without stopping at all.
However, although dangerous, this was beneficial! The more she unleashed such a strong attack, the more her divine energy would be drained away.
TRUUUUMMMM…!
The destructive beam continued shattering the entire tower, as Maria and everyone else noticed how suddenly, the gigantic frost-made dragon stopped unleashing its breath!
"Unghh…! M-My Divine Power is being exhausted… Already?!" The Crown of Skadi protested. "No, I need more… This tower has-"
"We won't let you get that far." Jonathan suddenly appeared right at her side, with a big leap, and the power of his supernatural body as a Human Hero, he reached her within the ceiling in an instant!
Imbuing Divine Power and Starlight Energy into his Divine Sword, the valiant Hero of Sunlight unleashed a barrage of devastating slashing blows, which resembled yellow and blue fireworks each time they impacted over her body!
"[Divine Starlight Blade Arts]: [Falling Star Rain]!"
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
Each attack connected together, as his blade attacks even got through the hard armor of the gigantic frost-made beast!
"[Divine Sunlight Blade Arts]: [Heaven's Fall]!!!"
FLAAAASSSSHH!!!
A ray of pure divine light emerged from Jonathan, as he spent every last bit of his Stamina and Mana at the same time, relentlessly unleashing his strongest attack!
CRAAAAASSSSHHH!!!
"GRYYYAAAAAAHHHH…!"
The agonizing scream of the Crown of Skadi echoed across the entire Tower, as her body fell into the floor with a loud bang!
BAAAAAMMM…!
"NOW!" Maria said, commanding everyone to gang on the Crown while she was weakened and on the floor, and with most of her Divine Power exhausted.
"U-Unnggh…! No… NO!!!"
The Crown of Skadi roared furiously, constantly shapeshifting into spears and monstrous dragon-like, wolf-like, and beast-like heads, attempting to bite and tear apart anything in front of her, as Maria and her allies made their way towards her!
"Cut it out already! That little girl will neve belong to you!!!" Lucifer roared, slashing both of his powerful weapons, and cutting apart more and more ice. "She only belongs to herself! That girl is free!!!" Opening his jaws, an enormous Dragon Breath was unleashed.
BOOOOOOOMMMM…!
"I am getting bored of your shit! You're a damn crown!" Partner furiously said, gathering her last energies into her blows, as she launched both of her spears towards the center of the gigantic frost beast, the crown itself. "LEAVE HER GO!"
CRAAAAAASSSSHHH!!!
"You've made that girl suffer so much already… Please stop it!" Emeraldine cried, summoning hundreds of spiritual arrows and Yggdrasil roots. "If you truly love her, leave her go!"
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
"It's not fair to force her to be with you!" Arachne said angrily, enormous beams of darkness surged from her entire body, as her sharp spider-like legs continued piercing through the ice.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CRAAASH!
"You heard them!" Maria roared.
With all the intensity and power she had, Maria went through all the ice, gathering the power within the spear Veredorr created by fusing himself with her own weapons, while also imbuing the strength of her Privileges into Farbauti Axe!
CRAAASH! CRAAASH! CRAAAASH!
"AARRGGH…! NO…! STOP! PLEASE, STOP!!!" The Crown of Skadi screamed, as Maria finally saw an opening. The divine frost was finally cleared, showing the head of Tear and the crown stuck on top!
"Now! VEREDORR!!!"
Maria launched the spear right towards the crown with incredible precision, even risking the danger of killing Tear on the moment, trusting it all to Veredorr, the young Dhampir that loved Tear more than anybody, and that was unjustly killed by her when she was possessed by the Crown!
"TEAAAARRRR!!! WAKE UP!!!"
Veredorr's very soul materializing within the spear, as it redirected its sharp end towards the crown, piercing through its blue jewel, and cracking it!
Crack… crack…!
CRAAASH!
