Chapter 1232 Nightmares
-----
"Rose stop trying to harm us, that's wrong! We're frens!" Benladra said angrily, fighting against the endless streams of Abyssal Miasmic Sea of Mirages, which continued to pour down on her viciously!
"I hate that of you! Why? Why are you like this?!" Rose's voice echoed across the monster's body, as it suddenly swam deep into the Abyssal Waters, beginning to shake the entire sea she summoned, countless tentacles with red eyes appeared all around them.
"Why wouldn't I?! I don't get you!" Benladra said. "Instead of being jealous, you should be happy that you've given new opportunities!"
"I don't care!!!" Rose angrily roared, as countless of Abyssal Mirage Tentacles flew towards Benladra, attempting to slash at her with their sharp teeth attached to their ends!
However, Benladra only grew more angrier at her friend's attitude. Both girls were children, and their discussion, for many, might also sound very childish, but it also came with a meaning behind it. Although immature, it was the truest thoughts inside of their hearts.
But Benladra was a bit too stubborn for this to work on her…
"You don't care? Then I don't care even less!" Benladra angrily said. "I'll beat you up and then make you wake up! Because I know… that those words aren't from my friend, they're from something evil inside of your heart!"
Benladra was furious, her Heavenly Aura changed, transforming into her Draconic Aura, as it resembled a gigantic dragon made of pure light, which quickly began to enchant her powers even more. A Dragon Claw-shaped aura emerged around her tiny hands, as she began to fight against Rose's powers.
CLAAASH! CLAAASH! CLAAAASH!
The Abyssal Mirage Tentacles were constantly slashed into pieces as Benladra moved around, evading many of their attacks. She quickly reached her sister and Coral, protecting them from several more Phantom Fishes that appeared.
"[Heavenly Dragon Breath]!"
FLAAAASH!
A gigantic beam of light emerged out of her tiny jaws, devastating everything with an enormous, destructive power!
BOOOOOOMMMMM!!!
Pure light covered the entire surroundings, as the black seas were reduced to only half of their former size. However, the Abyssal Mirage Fish Familiar remained, suddenly beginning to absorb the remaining sea and shapeshifting its form into a more fitting one to fight…
FLAAAASH!
"I-It is transforming?!" Asked Coral in surprise.
"It's becoming stronger…" Kate said.
"Stay behind me!" Benladra said, standing in front of her little sister and Coral.
"GRUOOOOHHHHH…! YOUUUUU…!"
The beast started to talk no longer with Rose's voice, but with the monstrous voice of an enemy the children knew very well already, the Deep One. The fish transformed into a humanoid fish-like monster, with several muscular arms and legs, and a long and sharp tail, it suddenly materialized purple and pink flames out of its own abyssal darkness, pointing them at the children.
"Where's Rose?! I can't hear her voice anymore!" Coral said.
"Your friend is no longer here…" Laughed the monster. "She has simply decided to let me handle things from now on! She said she was too tired of you…! Gahahahaha! I will take this opportunity to destroy you pests and then absorb your powers! And then my resurrection shall be within my grasp-"
"[Heavenly Sun]!"
FLUOOOOOSH!
A gigantic sphere of light emerged on top of Benladra, as she immediately fired it against the Monstrous Deep One's Vessel before even letting him finish his speech!
"W-Wait that's…!"
BOOOOOOMMMM!!!!
The light purified his dark body, slowly weakening him. However, he simply began extracting more negative energy from Rose's own suffering, slowly regenerating his formless body.
"Hahhh… Y-You damn brat, you're too dangerous with those powers… I CANNOT LET YOU LIVE!!!"
The Deep One's Vessel roared with fury, summoning out of the darkness emanating from Rose's heart a dozen of swords, materializing them and firing them at the children!
"[Abyssal Mirage Swords]!"
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
Everyone quickly evaded the attacks while moving at their amazing speeds, except Coral, who desperately conjured a shield made of his own powers, shielding him and protecting him from the sword, although it still pierced through his shield, but barely managed to not hurt him.
"You're terrible at your aim!" Benladra said, mocking the Deep One.
"Heh, do you think I just fired these to pierce your super resilient bodies?!" Laughed the Deep One. "I am already well aware I cannot beat you with physical strength, but there's nothing saying I cannot destroy your very souls! [Abyssal Nightmare]!"
FLAAASH!
The swords incrusted in the ground all began to glow with purple and pink light, exploding into purple and black clouds everywhere, and filling the place with… nightmares!
"Huh?! T-This…!" Coral muttered, as he was suddenly engulfed by countless nightmares.
"Aggh! T-This is weird!" Benladra angrily said.
"Nnn… My head…" Kate cried.
The nightmares began to engulf the children's minds. Although Benladra and Kate were very strong physically and magically, their undeveloped minds were especially weak against mental attacks of this type. Coral was unable to fight back against them either, quickly falling asleep as a result.
"Hahah… HAHAHAHA! Submerge yourselves into Endless Nightmares!" The Deep One laughed, as the children fell into an endless darkness.
Benladra fell into her own Nightmare, which targeted her deepest, and most hidden fears.
"Huh? Where am I?"
The little dragon, out of the blue, found herself inside a laboratory. It didn't looked at all like a place from Yggdrasil, it seemed like something from another world, a world named Earth.
She didn't knew how she knew about this, or how she recognized this laboratory. But the more she looked around, the more fear her heart felt.
"W-Why am I here? This place…"
Before realizing, she found herself inside a tube filled with a strange liquid.
"Huh?! W-What…?!"
She tried to free herself, but could not, she couldn't even move, but only see as her aberrant body grew larger and larger.
The figure of a man covered on a black coat and with black sunglasses glanced at her from the other side, giving her a sickening smile, and treating her as if she were her daughter…
