Chapter 757 A Desperate Battle And... Hope Amidst Despair
-----
Mold Legion, Benladann had been in such a form since she was a girl, this was due to her own fear to damage and hurt others. The power of the Mold was uncontrollable due to the insanity of Miranda, and to survive, she embrace the mold and turned into a complete monster, an entity that could only be described as eldritch. Now combined with her new powers and their newfound synergy, they were unstoppable. An enormous flying titan of over 15 meters, covered in mold, countless tentacles, crimson eyes, and many jaws filled with sharp teeth, an utterly terrifying beast from the depths of hell.
This was Benladann's truest potential, something she had been practicing more with Miranda now that she had gotten past her fear of the Mold, and was slowly perfecting more and more!
"Ready?" Asked Drake.
"Yeah!" Roared Benladann, as she raised her two axes, which had grown in size the same as she did through their special abilities within them that allowed them to grow smaller or bigger depending on whom wielded them! She infused chaotic energies into her two axes, as she swung them strongly against the moving dungeon dragon!
TRUUUUUMMMM!!!
The sky itself felt as if it was sliced in half as a cross-shaped slashing attack composed of pure darkness emerged from the skies, falling down into the giant dungeon dragon!
"GROOOARRRR!"
CLAAAAASSSSHH!!!
The enormous beast was put down due to Benladann's attack, as the cross-shaped attack made a good dent on its surface, the head and the torso were all left with enormous… wounds.
It worked! Benladann's all out attack combined with Miranda's power as a Mold Legion… truly could damage even the presumed indestructible walls of a dungeon!
"It worked!" Said Drake, pushing down as his various eyes flashed with crimson-red light, enormous sense of fear and various other status effects that didn't affected the dungeon body bounced out of the target, it seems that Drake's powerful Orochi Eyes were not capable of completing being able to do anything much against his foe! However, he had nine other tails, as the tips of such tails suddenly shaped into different weapons, they began swinging at the giant beast below with rapid movements!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
"ROAARR…!" Roared the Chaos Spirit, the wounds on his dungeon body were being worsened by Drake's powerful tail swings. Drake possessed many technique Skills, all merged together alongside his defensive armor and scale-based skills which merged on the tip of his tails and materialized as well, shaping together into an enormously strong set of deadly gigantic weapons!
"Now, Benladann!" Said Drake.
"Got it!" Benladann flew down below, using Drake's Wind Magic to lift herself up and then down, she enhanced her axes with the most mana they could take, and then using the momentum of her fall, she hit the dungeon exterior strongly, with all her weight and the power of her fall, which had accumulated all of this kinetic force!
CLAAAAAASSSSSHH!!!
The enormous hit made the entire terrain tremble almost constantly, Drake opened his eyes wide as he saw the entire dungeon dragon beginning to crumble apart in front of him, he had somehow done it! However, this wasn't going to just end like this, not at all. If that were the case, wouldn't it had been way too easy?
CRACK… CRACK!
The enormous dungeon began to crumble into pieces, as the Chaos Spirit lost part of its energy and life force, however, the dungeon core, still strong, unleashed a shockwave of energy right in front of Drake and Benladann, charged with the divine power of a dungeon core plus the one that the Chaos Spirit had been saving from the soul of Blaze, the dragon he had parasitized and devoured!
An explosion of flames came out of the dungeon dragon, blasting away Drake and Benladann into the skies!
BOOOOMMMM!!!
Drake desperately protected Benladann from the deadly blaze, using his enormous body to protect his wife from the burning flames of divinity! His entire body received the full hit, however, as he experienced the utter agony of being hurt by the power of divinity, something that only gods could wield!
FLUUOOOSSSHH!
"Uuuunnnggh…! T-This amount of power…! Uuaggh!" Cried Drake, as he tried to unleash all sorts of spells and skills to heal and defend himself, but he was barely being able to do anything!
"D-DRAAAKE!" Cried Benladann desperately, trying to help him out, but Drake didn't budge, protecting his beloved wife like a treasure he couldn't let being burnt by the flames of divinity. He knew very well that she didn't had the power of regeneration he had, if she were to be hit by these all-consuming flames, she could be turned into ashes, something he would never forgive himself from happening!
"Unngh…! I must resist… Resist the pain…!" Cried Drake, as his entire body was burning and grilling alive, Benladann was pushed away in time through Drake's winds, as she saw him being completely roasted alive!
"GROOOOOAAAARRRRR!!!" Drake roared furiously in agony like a dragon, as he was being burned by the last flames of divinity that the Chaos Spirt had saved as his last resort, and it had worked!
"No… Noo! Drake!!!" Cried Benladann, growing desperate as she attempted to reach Drake and somehow help him, but the power of Miranda stopped her from moving further, staying in the floor as she glanced at Drake fighting the burns, his body being roasted alive and regenerated back constantly, it as an endless circle of agony!
"Stop! Benladann, don't go! If you go, the flames will touch you!" Cried Miranda.
"But…!"
"Drake is fighting, he has the power of an Immortal, he knows he can handle it! Benladann, we must be useful for him, we have to help him… at defeating the foe that did this to him! Grab your axes, and point them at the bastard behind Drake!" Miranda fueled Benladann with conviction, as Benladann nodded, resisting her tears, she wielded her axes and went to battle!
…Meanwhile, Drake continued resisting the agony of the Divine Flames, as the System was trying to make his body somehow adapt to this!
