Chapter 1103 The Last Man Standing
-----
(Drake's POV)
Thanks to the ticket I saved, I was able to turn the tables by creating an absolutely broken Divine Spirit I named Gabriel, I had this idea for a while now. I had even saved the shed scales from my daughters and the shards of crystalized divinity they let off sometimes as well.
All for this moment!
Gloriously, I was able to create a Divine Spirit that combined both Heaven Element and Technomancy, combining these two overpowered and out of the ordinary Elements, I easily destroyed the Venerable's will infecting Ruby's soul.
But how did this actually work without hurting her? Well, that was quite simple. I had discovered this some time ago now but I knew that the power of Technomancy and the System Elements are similar. And that both had the power of "hacking" things.
If I merged this with the Heaven Element, I was able to "hack" the soul of Ruby with heavenly power and only cleanse the certain "files" I wanted. Therefore, I simply deleted and threw into the trash bin all of the particles making the Venerable of Blood's will and soul infecting Ruby's soul!
Like that, she was finally freed, and now, I was finally given a damn break. I've been fighting all day now, I just wanted to rest for now!
"Drake… Thank you for helping me… For coming to my aid." Sighed Ruby.
"Aw, there's no problem." I sighed. "My daughter's been missing you for a while now. You better go greet her once you're back home."
"Back… home?" She asked.
"Of course, isn't the castle your home?" Rakasha asked her.
Ruby's eyes shone brightly.
"You're right… it is my home." She smiled. "Sorry for… ever doubting you all…"
"It's fine-"
Crack… CRACK!
However, before we could even react, something, like the sound of shattering glass echoed behind us.
We looked at the source of this sound, finding red-colored cracks emerge all around the empty space.
Wait, don't tell me…!
CRAAASH!
A portal to the Divine Realm of Red opened, almost all of it was being consumed by the void already, but an enormous mass of flesh and blood emerged from within it!
The Soul Fragments of the Venerable of Blood that was left there, it came back! The bastard wasn't being dealt with the two other Venerables?!
"GRAAAAAAHHH! MY VESSEL…! COME TO ME! MY VESSEL!!!"
This damn bastard!
His body had grown even more out of proportion, as he absorbed countless monsters and turned into a true abomination of flesh and blood. The divine realm of Red was destroyed behind him, yet he remained alive.
Suddenly, as I flew into the frontlines to protect Ruby and Rakasha, I heard the voice of the Frost Queen and the Fox Venerable, Belle.
"Drake, we couldn't hold him for much longer…!"
"He kept eating everything, that damn disgusting monster!"
The Frost Queen and the Fox Venerable seemed to have been overwhelmed at the end by the Blood Venerable's overwhelming devouring powers. I've heard Divine Realms are all made of Divine Power, so its possible he just started devouring it all to regain his strength.
"Don't worry, leave the rest to me. Skadi, Uller! Rose, Belle!"
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
In an instant, I summoned my two weapons and my two divine spirits.
"You're finally back!" Skadi said.
"We were just slaying some blood monsters as you brought us here!" Uller said.
"Drake! You're fine! And Ruby's alright, what a relief- Eh? The Venerable?!" Rose freaked out.
"So the bastard's coming! Mother couldn't stop him enough even with the help of the Frost Queen. I guess without their complete power at the end, they'll be ultimately overwhelmed by this monsters' insane powers." Belle said.
"GRUOOOHHHHH! GET OFF MY WAAAAAY!"
The Venerable roared at me, his monstrous body being as big as over a hundred meters.
Countless heads and jaws appeared all over his body, countless eyes as well.
"I am tired of seeing your damn ugly face… I'll end you now, Venerable of Blood, Alucard."
I concentrated my Divine Power into my weapons, as I imbued Rose and Belle into my body and my weapons at the same time. Meanwhile, Gabriel merged with both of my weapons, as he merged them together as well.
My Draconic Essence started leaking from within the Draconic Records, as I drew more and more of that mysterious power that Dragon Gods developed. I merged this power with my weapons, fusing it all together.
"I'll end you with a single blow…"
I looked at the monster approach every split of a second.
For a moment, my surroundings felt like they stopped in time.
My reaction speed ramped up to insane levels.
My thought processing also increased so much my perception of my surroundings made it seem as if time had stopped, but it was merely flowing naturally.
Primordial Ice and Holy Light coated Skadi and Uller as they converged with the power of Gabriel, Rose, and Belle. Rainbow Ice began coating the weapon together, forming a majestic and gigantic rainbow ice sword.
"GRAAAAAAH!"
The roar of the Vampire Venerable echoed in the background, but I maintained all my concentration.
"This is a farewell."
I raised the sword, and then, opened my eyes.
"Ultimate Divine Weapon Art…"
FLAAAASSSSHHHHHHH!!!!
An enormous ray of rainbow light emerged from within my Rainbow Ice Blade. The light reached the skies, purifying the red sky and revealing a beautiful night sky filled with stars and the bright full moon.
"[Crescent Rainbow Frost Blade of The End: Oblivion]!"
I swung my blade vertically with a swift movement of my arms, it was so fast that it couldn't even be perceived by Ruby or Rakasha behind me
For a moment, only a blinding ray of rainbow light came, piercing through the entire body of Alucard, slicing him cleanly in two perfect halves.
SLAAAAASSSSHHH!!!!
The gigantic ray of rainbow light spread into dozens of slicing attacks. The aberrant Venerable was consumed by their power, suddenly beginning to freeze on rainbow ice and shattering apart into pieces right after that!
"T-This… it can't be…!"
Crack…!
"I cannot… die yet…!"
Crack… crack…!
"How can… I die against a mere…"
CRACK!
"Dragon…!"
"I am no mere Dragon. I am the one chosen to become the Dragon King! Venerable of Blood Alucard, I will bring your end now!"
CRAAASH!!!
"AAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHH…!"
His entire body exploded into rainbow ice pieces, as the pieces dissipated into sparks of light.
The last scream of the Venerable reverberated across the skies and the earth.
However, at the end…
I was the last man standing.
