Chapter 1451 Against Test Subject-01!
-----
(Drake's POV)
The visions ended in that moment, as we found ourselves back in that room, an abandoned, ruined laboratory covered on colorful crystals here and there, but mostly all sorts of vines, small trees, glowers, and moss growing on the oxidated walls.
"T-That was… Well, it was certainly something…" Miranda sighed.
"I guess he might have really created that thing then!" Benladra commented. "Right?"
"Yeah, dear, most likely." Benladann nodded, crossing her arms. "But… Pandemonium's Lung? Does that mean that the guy the Flame Emperor somehow revived… He has many body parts scattered around the world?"
"Weird how such body parts won't just rot after years, right? And if he has his body parts scattered, he must have died pretty painfully." I commented. "But we shouldn't think of him as someone from this world, he's much resilient and strange, and his body might even work with different rules than ours."
"I have no idea who Pandemonium is but he seems to be a big deal, is he an enemy of yours?" Asked Emerald.
"Who is Pandemonium?" Tyrant was also clueless.
"I've never heard that name before."
"A strange sounding name at that…"
"Weird…"
It seems that despite being said to have been a calamity of ancient times, nobody ever knows about him. There are not tales about him, no myths, nothing. Only the most ancient of beings know about his existence.
"We don't know much about him either… We only know he is extremely dangerous, and vile." I sighed. "We'll confront him eventually, and when that time comes. I'll finish what we started… I'm going to take away the last fragment of Logi and revive Aegir's brother so she stops being such a crybaby about it."
"And for that, we better get this done quickly then…" Benladann said, holding her axe imbued with Chaos Energies and Chaotic Flames, black and purple scales growing around several parts of her body, resembling a natural armor. Dragon wings, a long dragon tail, sharp dragon claws, draconic eyes, and horns.
"Yeah…" Miranda nodded, her powers beginning to overflow from her body as her Aura spread around her, forming an endlessly swirling pool of black sludge, Miasmic Mold.
"That's right." I agreed, glancing towards what everyone was preparing to fight.
In front of us there were dozens of small glass tubes, most of them filled with strange plant-like abominations, of all shapes and sizes.
And in front of them, there was the largest of them, containing a monstrous plant-like creature within.
Crack, crack…!
The glass started cracking and breaking, slowly beginning to crumble apart and shatter into pieces…
[The abandoned laboratory is filled with failed test subjects, experiments made by a madman that couldn't stop themselves from creating them, seeking to accomplish something he couldn't on his past life.]
[And now, after eons of being abandoned, the test subjects rebel against their father, who had abandoned them, desiring to take everything down with them!]
[The [Test Subject-01] begins to break free from its container!]
CRACK… CRACK!
CRAAASH!
"GRYYSHAAAAHHH!!!"
A monstrous scream echoed across the entire hall, the gigantic glass tube shattered into pieces in that very moment, a gigantic plant-like beast emerged from within.
It was composed of countless hard black and red colored branches, with big, green, purple, and red leaves covering its woody body.
However, that's where all the plant-like appearance ended, it possessed strange fleshy tendrils resembling tentacles filled with red eyes.
A monstrous, open jaw, with countless sharp teeth…
And it exuded an Aura filled with Demonic Power!
The smaller plant-like monsters didn't looked any different, actually, resembling tiny versions of the big boss, Test Subject 01!
"Father… FATHERRRRR…!"
As the beast groaned, I could somehow hear an agonizing voice within, its eyes constantly bleeding acidic green blood, its huge jaws vomiting its own innards.
The beast was in pain… Even if it was just the manifestation of a dream, perhaps it might still contain the agonizing and resentful soul of Test Subject 01, which we found dead at Ruins depths.
"Jonathan…" I sighed. "You shouldn't had created these creatures, if you were going to abandon them like this…"
"GRAAAARRRRGGHHH!"
The aberration of over fifty meters reached us in a mere second, rushing across the floor by rapidly moving its many spider-like legs made of wood.
Its countless branches combined together into two large arms with sharp wooden spears, covered on Poisonous Demon Blood and perhaps all other kinds of toxins created by plants.
I quickly summoned my Demon Bone Axe into my hands, transforming into my smaller Ice Dragon King's form so I can fit on this narrow hall, and quickly clashed against the beast's spears.
"RAAAH!"
CLAAASH! CLAAASH! CLAAASH!
With a furious draconic roar, I unleashed three mighty slashing blows against the monster, its wooden spears were torn to pieces in an instant, as the creature desperately stepped back, its countless flowers revealing small red eyes on top of them.
"SHYAAAH!"
Dozens of crimson beams were fired towards my body all at once, bombarding me with Demonic Power, melting my flesh and skin.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"So annoying…!"
Even as much as I reinforced my defenses, this damned Demonic Power was really troublesome, even within Dreams!
"[Primordial Black Flames of Demise] + [Primordial Divine Ice Magic] = [Primordial Black Abyssal Flames of Soul-Freezing Demise]!"
FLUOOOSH!
The Flames of Demise combined with my Primordial Winter Frost Magic and my Freezing Flames, as a gigantic mass of purple and dark blue flames covered my scale armor and my weapons!
"Go!"
I commanded all my weapons at once, Alice, Skadi, Uller, and Hephaestus, alongside the unnamed Demon Bone Axe, all of them flew directly towards the beast, unleashing a barrage of explosion and piercing blows, the deadly flames burning through its body and weakening!
CRAAASH! CRAAASH! CRAAASH! CRAAASH!
"GRYYEEEGGHH…!"
Its body burned and fell apart into pieces, but it constantly regenerated just like I could, what an annoying resilient bastard!
"SHAAAH!"
Its jaws opened, suddenly leaping directly towards me, as the plant abomination vomited an enormous downpour of acidic demonic blood right in front of me!
"Shit!"
SPLAAAASH!
