Chapter 275 275: The Limitless Demon Venerable VS The Summoner King
-----
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
Dozens of punches hammered Blake's entire body as he began bleeding and vomiting blood. His whole frame broke apart, all his bones shattering while his organs exploded from the ruined form.
"AND FOR MY DAUGHTER!!!"
Erdrich screamed, channeling all his power once more and smashing Blake with every fist at once. He hurled him down into the Southern Continent, where the Summoner King crashed through the ice sheet and straight into the world's core.
CRAAASH!
"FOR ALL THE PEOPLE...! YOU'VE TAKEN...! AWAY FROM ME!"
Erdrich lost himself completely, his body swelling even more muscular as steam and flames burst from his muscles.
In that instant, everything fell into an eerie quiet. A mass of energy gathered by all his arms unleashed upon Blake.
"You...!"
In that same moment, as the Vampire regenerated most of his wounds, a sphere of pure darkness and red energy—chaos itself—struck him at full force. It distorted reality and tore straight through him, disintegrating half his body in a single second.
BOOOOOMMM!!!
What proved even more jarring was the massive hole that now gaped across the surface of Spiritias, linking the surface to the underworld hundreds of meters below.
The explosion proved so devastating that giant debris flew in every direction—meteor-sized fragments that began to plummet, unleashing immense catastrophes across the flat world.
CRASH!
The Summoner King plummeted into the underworld and slammed into a massive burning crater. Millions of Undead and other beings witnessed the event and the incoming menace warping reality itself.
"Run."
Blake's words carried absolute command. They all began sprinting as fast as they could while the Summoner King rose to his feet, watching his friend descend toward him with lethal intent.
Despite his expressionless face, he felt deeply conflicted, regretful, and filled with self-hatred for what he had done.
"I should have seen the signs."
"I chose to ignore them..."
"I was selfish... I was the one who forced him to fight beside me and to kill his own brethren."
"I chose to ignore how conflicted he felt despite everything, and I forced him to take the human side... without thinking about what he truly felt about everything."
"And... I was the one who never told him that he shouldn't feel guilty for living, for existing..."
"I took his mother's life because she was a murderer and insane, but... I never thought about the child behind it and treated him badly even after that."
"I... it's all my fault."
"I created him... I made him who he is now..."
He gripped his fists tightly as his Aura surged. Hundreds of Vampire Spirits emerged, bowed to him, and then dissolved into crimson energy that fused with his own body.
His Spiritual Aura skyrocketed. His hair turned white, his musculature grew even stronger, and black scales spread across his body, accompanied by a cosmic heart that gleamed with cosmic energy.
Sharp black and white wings sprouted from his back. He gained long black and white horns. His scales cracked open, revealing glowing cosmic flames beneath, and his entire body shone brightly with starlight.
"And I will take responsibility for my mistake."
His Aura surged again, revealing the souls of hundreds of Vampire Spirits.
The truth about Blake stood revealed now as he displayed his true appearance as the Ancient Vampire Emperor.
Despite being reborn as a human, he had once been a feared Emperor of the Universe, the strongest Vampire ever known, Asmodeus.
When the Demons from Hell began to invade the Universe one planet after another and seize his territories, Asmodeus decided to strike back.
He mobilized his forces—all the Vampires—to push back the Demon Invasion.
Ultimately, knowing that this War would never end until he slew their leader, he descended into the depths of Hell to confront their king, Lucifer.
However, his power proved insufficient. Unable to defeat him, Asmodeus sacrificed all of his power to damage Lucifer as much as possible.
Although Lucifer eventually recovered from the physical damage, he never recovered mentally from the humiliation. He chose to reincarnate his soul into Spiritias as a young human.
He had his authority, power, and everything taken from him, and he was forced to begin from zero.
However, the power he once possessed, along with the souls of all his Vampires, still remained bound to his own. This allowed him to summon his Vampires as Spirits instead of normal Spirit Beasts.
Thus, his legacy as the Summoner King began. He used his power, intelligence, and knowledge from his previous life to rise to the position he now held, ultimately defeating the Demon King Lucifer. And then... well, this was where he stood now.
After finally finishing what he had once started in another life, after finally believing he had created a perfect world.
Someone he had dismissed, someone he had not thought about too much—someone who had once been a weak child born from a Demonic Human woman belonging to the Demon Cult.
A woman who had ingested demon blood and meat and mutated into a Demonic Human, giving birth to a perfect Cambion, a hybrid between humans and demons with no defects.
A woman he had slain to protect the house she lived in and the family she had turned against...
The mother of the man he now fought, a friend... he had left behind.
Although Asmodeus had accomplished everything, he had still committed similar mistakes as before. And such mistakes had come back to him thousands of years later.
It was almost poetic.
Now Erdrich had grown so strong that he matched his power.
He had to fight with everything he possessed and either die against him or kill him.
Blake was no hero, nor someone who always clung to hope.
He was a realistic man.
He knew what he had to do.
But he also wondered how much longer he would be able to continue.
He furrowed his eyebrows, showing that he was not someone who let emotions take the best of him.
And perhaps that was also his greatest flaw, and the reason he could never truly connect with Erdrich, nor become his true friend, heal his emotional wounds, or help him truly change for the better.
He had let him fester in his own self-hatred and guilt until this was the result.
Even though everything had ended so happily, there was no true happily ever after.
Only a continuous existence.
One that became more and more jarring as one lived, as emotions, grudges, and frustration took over old, tired hearts.
"Face me, Summoner King!"
"...I shall."
For the first time in his life, Blake's eyes were not blazing with determination but cold and filled with sorrow for what he now had to do.
The Limitless Demon Venerable clashed against the Summoner King, shaking the underworld and the surface above.
BOOOOMMM!!!
The massive clash of auras proved immense, warping space and shattering it, spreading cracks everywhere and creating voids within space where both constantly collided without mercy.
Fists collided, kicks intercepted one another, and magic clashed. The Demon King unleashed the hottest infernos of Hell itself, enhanced by his Ten Fantasium Cores and his powerful Demonic Authorities stacked together. His power was truly Limitless.
The more they fought, the stronger he grew. His aura surged tremendously and his power multiplied. Seas of infernal flames transformed into massive aberrations and monsters that imitated the Seven Original Archdemons and attacked Blake from every angle.
"You're no longer the only summoner! I can summon those I've killed and devoured. Your precious Familiars are mine to command!"
"Limitless Archdemon Venerable's Eight Arms of Annihilation."
"Second Form."
"Eternal Infernal Legion!"
Each punch from his eight arms unleashed explosive seas of infernal flames of immense primordial power capable of bypassing Blake's resistances and immunities against most elements.
As the seas of flames wrapped around him and constantly burned his skin and flesh, they transformed into demons and other beasts he had absorbed.
The Archdemon of Envy, Leviathan, surged as an endless serpent, wrapping around Blake and crushing him with all its force.
The Archdemon of Wrath, Satan, roared, emerging as a muscular humanoid giant demon and smashing Blake's entire body with burning fists.
And many more emerged one after another, unleashing their spells and attacks and overwhelming him!
"Tsk!"
However, the Summoner King was not weak by any means. He was the strongest being of Spiritias after all.
"Disappear!"
Using the Dragon Tongue he had inherited from the dragons of this world, he made all the flames explode and extinguish in seconds. Then he rushed toward Erdrich, summoning thousands of weapons made of his primordial cosmic blood.
"Primordial Cosmic Blood Armory!"
"Nngh?!"
The Demon King groaned as his entire body was impaled by thousands of weapons that then exploded, blowing away chunks of his flesh and blood!
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
However.
"Rise, my children."
From his own flesh and blood, new demons emerged—enormous and monstrous. They swarmed Blake until he could not move and sent him flying, crashing down into a sea of nether.
At the same time, Erdrich had already completely regenerated his damage. He conjured a powerful technique as he combined his first two forms into one.
"I've been working hard, training diligently, polishing my power... so I can finally have my revenge against you. The reason my life has been full of pain and suffering is you!"
SPLASH!
Blake emerged from the nether unscathed, but his eyes widened at what he saw Erdrich conjuring. His aura surged and transformed, turning into one of his new Supreme Divine Grievance Spirits.
The Limitless Demon Venerable had truly surpassed all limits and gone even beyond that.
Using his eight arms of annihilation as the catalyst and fusing many demonic authorities together with his power as a Grievance...
A titan made of crimson and black flames emerged from his soul. It possessed hundreds of muscular arms holding different weapons and three heads.
It had a broken halo above its head and bleeding, shattered wings.
"Limitless Archdemon Venerable's Eight Arms of Annihilation."
"Third Form."
"Primordial Demonic Spirit Avatar: Angra Mainyu."
Channeling the divinity and power of the God of All Demons born from their belief through hundreds of thousands of years.
Blake saw hundreds of gigantic blazing fists descending upon him. He rapidly used his powers to warp reality and create matter from nothing, turning that matter into cosmic energy.
The cosmic energy quickly fused with his blood spirit energy and then helped him create several Reality Barriers, resisting the warping fists descending upon him.
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
However, it was not going to last forever. Blake had to go on the full offensive or he would die. All of the resistances and immunities he had always relied on—even his powerful regeneration—were close to pointless against Erdrich, whose power could surpass and destroy such concepts.
He had truly become so much stronger than even Lucifer that it was utterly ridiculous. It made Blake wish he could still be his friend, that they could spar and grow strong together.
But that was something he had given up on long ago. It was only now, as he battled someone who wanted to kill him, that he was reminded he had once had such a friend.
Indeed, he had become too self-absorbed in his own tranquil life to ever consider all those he had left behind outside of his family.
"Come, Abyssal Chaos Eater Spear: Gluttony."
Suddenly, from his own shadows, a giant crimson spear emerged, exuding tremendous power beyond what Erdrich expected.
This was a spear that had accompanied Blake throughout his entire life ever since he was a human child, when it was merely a wooden spear from his hunter father, tainted with demon blood and gaining supernatural abilities.
It was also the origin of his ability to absorb monster spirit orbs and turn them into his Familiars, rapidly expanding his army since then.
But now, after such a long time, that spear had undergone countless transformations and evolutions, refined into a Spirit as well as a Soul Treasure.
It was comparable to Louis's Gungnir!
But that was not all.
"Divine Vampire King's Armored Gloves: Avarice."
Crimson and black gloves covered his hands, infusing him with immense vampiric power and granting him an incredible ability.
"Demonic Cosmic Gun: Soul Eater."
Then a giant black, red, and blue gun exuding immense quantities of cosmic energy manifested from his crimson-red shadow realm and began to divide into hundreds of guns at once.
"Celestial Ancient Vampire King's Cosmic Blood Armor."
Combining the power of his three Major Soul Relics, the Summoner King created an ultimate armor over his body. It glowed with crimson light and exuded all the compressed power he possessed. The hundreds of Vampire Spirit Souls within him that had merged with him exuded great power as well.
The Demon King continued pummeling him with countless attacks. Blazing fists emerged from every angle possible, pillars of flames surged, and more.
And yet Blake was now unscathed.
"So you've taken out your arsenal."
"I'll end this."
"Don't underestimate me, Blake. You know I am not the same as before."
"Then show it to me, Erdrich."
Both charged one another, crashing through the surface in an intense, all-destructive battle. Gluttony moved furiously, the crimson spear mutating into a titanic eldritch creature—an Outer God of immense power that pierced Erdrich's body and devoured his flesh and blood. Only for the devoured flesh and blood to emerge as demons inside the spear, exploding and weakening it.
"Don't try to eat me, old friend. I have already created plenty of countermeasures for that annoying spear of yours!"
"I see."
Blake nodded. A crimson and cosmic grimoire suddenly appeared beside him as millions of glistening azure-gold-colored cards emerged one after another, spreading and rotating around him.
"Summon: Cosmic Beasts."
This was something he had saved for dire situations—powerful and unique Cosmic Beasts he had hunted and turned into his Summons.
But instead of using them against Erdrich, knowing he could kill them and devour them and make them his power...
"Familiar Soul Fusion – Cosmic Familiar Soul Sea!"
FLUOSH!
Hundreds of Cosmic Beast Familiars merged with his soul as it glistened with starlight.
The Summoner's power skyrocketed. His aura surged and multiplied in power by hundreds of times over.
The Demon King was finally matched.
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
"GAAAHA?!"
He vomited blood as thousands of thrusting attacks pierced his body in a single second. His eyes widened as Blake showed no mercy, expanding a Divine Cosmic Domain that summoned thousands of spears everywhere.
Blake was a god of many authorities. Among them was...
Naturally, he was the God of Spears.
"Divine Spear God Arts."
"Armor Crushing Spear Attack Enhancement Aura."
"One Hundred Lightning Blows."
"God-Killing Celestial Piercing Strike...!"
"One Hundred Spearmen Spirit Exploding Spear Attacks!"
"One Thousand Battalion's Spears Multi-Thrust Double Attacks!!"
"Weapon Destroying Bloody Shredder!!!"
Blake unleashed powerful techniques consecutively, shredding, thrusting, and tearing through the Demon King's body.
The space-warping barrier and armor the Demon King possessed shattered as his Fantasium Authority began to falter before his old friend's true power.
"Nnnnggh!"
He was being cornered. His Avatar was growing weaker as he could not keep up with the immense speed and all-around assault of the Summoner King.
Cosmic Beast Soul Auras surged endlessly from his attacks as well—spiritual projections that could not be eaten—swarming the Demon King and attacking him with all their unique assaults.
It was becoming harder and harder for the Demon King to keep up.
And to tilt things even more in his favor, his claws glowed brightly. Blake rushed forward and punched the Demon King's entire body, unleashing a barrage of crimson lightning fists.
"Lightning Blood Fist Art – Meteor Fists!"
He rapidly targeted the Demon King's ten Fantasium Cores, piercing the crystals and shattering them one after another.
"It's over, Erdrich!"
"Nnnggh...! Nngaaaahhhh!"
Erdrich screamed, crashing through a mountain and then falling into the sea as his ten cores shattered.
And through the use of Hand of Avarice from his gauntlets, Blake was able to steal his power and make it his own, weakening him and severely decreasing his stats.
"I'll end you... now, for old time's sake..."
Blake raised Gluttony, absorbing all of his power and then harnessing it into the tip of the spear. Then he activated a special power infused into his spear by his benefactor, an Outer Goddess named Sangre.
"Vampiric Stigma: Sanguine Fury."
All the damage he had accumulated from Erdrich's onslaught became power. His spear grew thousands of times bigger than before, rushing down and impaling through Erdrich's body, beginning to engulf him in a massive, all-consuming explosion of crimson light and blood flames.
"AAAAAGGGHH...! AAAAHH... Ahh.. Hahaha... Hahahahahaha!"
"...?!"
However.
Blake's eyes widened as he heard his foe laughing while taking the damage, half his body disintegrating.
Only for...
His hand to grasp Gluttony tightly, immense demonic power surging from him and then.
"I finally will have it."
"Wha...?!"
Crack, crack...!
CRAAASH!
And in that moment, Gluttony shattered into countless pieces, and each piece flew toward the Demon King's mouth, which swallowed them.
In that moment.
Crack.
Blake felt his connection and bond with Gluttony disappear.
In disbelief, the Summoner King watched the Demon King devour his strongest weapon and...
"Come, Gluttony!"
Make it his power.
A gigantic spear of demonic flames manifested, overflowing with immense demonic power like nothing before.
If anything, it was even stronger now that it belonged to the Demon King and not a vampire-human hybrid.
"So that was your plan all along? But the cores..."
"I am not a Grievance completely. Shattering my cores is not going to instantly kill me, Blake. Even more..."
FLAAASH!
The Demon King overflowed with demonic and Fantasium energies. His cores regenerated incredibly fast.
"I can continuously regenerate them, and because I cannot die when you break them, it is pointless to even aim at them..."
"..."
"Hahahah... don't you get it? You're going to lose. Slowly, I will strip you down of everything that made you who you are... the great hero, the incredible summoner... loved by all, praised by all... and once I strip you of everything you are... what will remain of you?"
"...!"
Blake's eyes widened, feeling an existential dread he had never felt before.
What was he?
His entire time, his entire life.
His powers—it all defined him.
His strength, his charisma... his power.
It all originated from the power he possessed.
When he had none of that, what was he other than...
A weak human?
"An excellent face. Now bear with me. This'll hurt."
"...Envy."
RUMBLE!
Another spear surged out of nowhere, black and red in color and blazing with draconic flames, which he used to intercept the Demon King's attack.
BOOOMMMM!!!
A massive explosion surged, so strongly it pushed him back, sending him crashing across a forest, mountains, and then a glacial continent. It shattered everything apart and blew away thousands of glaciers.
"Damn it." Blake clicked his tongue. He quickly realized something annoying. "Now that he has Gluttony, he has become immensely stronger... but Gluttony was never all of my power."
TRUUUM!
The sky split apart as the Demon King descended with his giant blazing spear, thrusting it forward. Blake teleported and twisted space, swiftly attempting to move aside and dodge.
But.
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
"GAAAH?!"
He groaned, vomiting blood as three giant burning holes appeared across his body. His amazing armor amounted to nothing as these holes burned and bled constantly, making him fall to his knees in agony.
One in his chest, another in his stomach, and a third in his head... however, fleshy tendrils emerged, quickly healing him back to normal.
But in the time it took him, the Demon King struck again, piercing his body once more, filling him with holes and shredding his entire body into bloody mush and pieces of broken bones.
He constantly did this with more intensity than before, knowing how incredibly resilient Blake's Immortal Regeneration was.
He aimed at his soul, and Gluttony delivered deadly blows, sucking and absorbing his former master's powers over time.
"I am well aware of your incredible power. I shall take my time and never lower my guard. Thus, I will continuously grind you to meat and bone bits until you cannot regenerate anymore, Blake."
"..."
Blake did not despair as his soul gained holes. Something within the depths of his soul that had been dormant began to awaken.
Within the Sea of Countless Familiar Souls which shielded his true soul, a cocoon of cosmic crystals began to crack and emerge.
"Ugh, master, are you having trouble? That has never happened before for a long time... What am I supposed to do with you?"
A gift given to him by higher-dimensional beings that once tested his planet, servants of the "God" that managed this sector of the universe—a discarded Eye of Oblivion that had left to find him once more.
Originally just a small cosmic egg, the Stardust Child eventually hatched into a tiny creature, but over the years it slowly evolved and grew larger and stronger.
Though with little action, it had slumbered and grown over time.
Until now.
She was Blake's strongest Spirit, born from cosmic energies and starlight, and one of his two cosmic energy sources!
And now, as she awakened, she manifested behind him and fused with his body.
"Master, hang in there."
"I know."
Blake's shredded body melded with his soul, rapidly beginning to grow larger and larger, taking the form of a giant bat-like dragon with black scales and cracks revealing azure starlight energy.
From within his chest, the Summoner King activated his other trump card, a Cosmic Dragon Heart born from evolving his previously Divine Dragon Heart.
"RAAAAHHHHH!"
Blake was not just a Vampire after all.
To gain all the power he needed, he had cultivated many paths and absorbed the genes and components of many powerful creatures.
Spirits, Demons, and...
Dragons!
Unlike Yggdrasil, the Dragons of Spiritias had all gone extinct by now, but he had managed to meet a few remaining ones when they were alive.
He was able to gain their powers, which he cultivated diligently until attaining this level that Erdrich was witnessing now.
"Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Show me your true face."
The Demon King smiled, growing larger to match Blake and clashing against his giant cosmic claws. Chaotic explosions surged as the Demon King danced, moving swiftly while using his Gluttony forged from his infernal flames, which also constantly shifted into seas of demons to swarm Blake.
Immense and catastrophic explosions surged all across the continent where they fought. Blake always barely missed an inhabited area while devastating dozens of mountains and other environments on their way through.
In this form he was beginning to finally match Erdrich once more. By using his two sources of cosmic energy and stacking them together, he was becoming much more durable.
But the problem was how to kill him.
Erdrich, the Demon King, the Limitless Demon Venerable... remained invincible.
And his sneer only grew more confident as he began to rapidly expand his abilities, copying Blake's Divine Spear Domain and unleashing his own, attacking him from all angles.
Blake defended, using destructive Void Chaos Magic and consuming the Demon King in countless explosions. Blood Magic constantly made his internal body combust, and from his shadows thousands of weaponries emerged, forged from cosmic blood, abyssal void, and the souls of his Familiars.
Their battle intensified, crashing through the entire world and then ultimately reaching its edge. As Spiritias was a flat world of enormous size, they traveled so far they reached the giant Ice Walls leading to the Abyss below.
CRAAASH!
Erdrich kept up his incredible momentum, piercing Blake's body with his Gluttony and unleashing his Sea of Infernal Demonic Soul Flames, while his Eight Arms of Annihilation conjured Demonic Spells and punched him with his techniques, constantly overwhelming him.
The power the Limitless Demon Venerable possessed was... truly limitless!
And yet... Blake could not give up. The ice walls shattered. If Spiritias was exposed to the Abyss it might be in danger.
"Nnngggh...!"
Cosmic Power surged to its absolute limits and then he released it all in a single powerful thrusting spear technique combo attack.
"Cosmic Spear God Art: Star-Guided Spear Of Firmaments – Galaxy Lance!"
Envy absorbed his cosmic power, becoming a gigantic lance of cosmic stars and nebulas. Erdrich laughed, thrusting Gluttony with all his power loaded into it as well.
And when both forces collided, a massive explosion surged backward, hitting the Demon King instead as he vomited blood. A gigantic hole through his chest and his head opened, destroying his upper torso completely.
BOOOMMM!!!
A cosmic flame explosion consumed the rest of his body as Blake clenched his teeth and rushed toward him to finish him off.
Only for the Demon King's legs to stand up and birth an endless army of Demonic Beasts from his flesh and blood, swarming Blake and breaking his momentum.
"Too bad."
Erdrich regrew his upper torso in seconds, staring at Blake with confidence.
"You've gotten rusty, old friend."
"..."
As Blake narrowed his eyes and grew in power to fight once more, he sensed an anomaly within the space continuum of Spiritias.
"Wait, what is this sensation? ...Yggdrasil?!"
While the Summoner King and the Demon King fought, his family constantly pushed the demons back as much as possible, but the three archdemons proved to be a greater threat than they had imagined.
The three wives of Blake spoke in unison, fighting mightily and rapidly overwhelming their foes while moving gracefully.
Erika, Heir of Yggdrasil and the First Divine Yggdragon Goddess.
"Erika, for how long do we have to do this?! Can't we help Blake?"
Elizabeth, the Divine Saintess of the Spirits, vessel to all spirit gods.
"It's better if we keep this place clean instead!"
And lastly, the red-haired and slender vampire beauty that once helped him know what was up—Eleanora, Blake's first ever Vampire Spirit summon.
"We cannot let them breach into the main continent!"
As they fought, the skies shattered, revealing endless rivers of golden energy and a tall figure that began to emerge from within, accompanied by thousands of other enormous beings. All of them resembled giant buddha-like statues holding weapons and wearing tranquil and serene expressions.
And this tall figure, hundreds of meters tall, was also made entirely out of gold, with a slender and skinny body resembling a starving old man.
The problem was that it had no head. Its neck was empty, bleeding golden blood constantly. And instead of a head, he had nine beautiful suns, each of a different color and radiance, constantly rotating around his neck.
He spread his long fingers as he greeted everyone, exuding such bright radiance that he burned everything.
The entire battlefield started to warp and explode. Demons and humans alike burned to a crisp, and those that survived began to turn into Bodhisattvas, becoming buddha-like and smiling peacefully while shooting rays of sunlight everywhere.
"Greetings, everyone. I have come to visit this wonderful Realm! It seems that destiny and fate are on our side. In this conglomeration of worlds, people, and hearts. I always ponder, what is the true path to salvation?
And now, after wondering about that for a long time, I have concluded that there is no salvation. It is an illusion, a desire built out from our very weak human hearts. Thus, I propose a different path..."
Suddenly, an eye opened in each one of his Nine Suns as he spread an even brighter Aura of Radiance that burned everything, pushing Blake's family back and making his Familiars explode into cinders one by one...
"And that is the Path of Destruction and Cleansing. Everything must be destroyed, cleansed, and reborn. We've all been born as cursed beings in a cursed world! Thus, the best way to remedy this mistake, this sin we've carried since birth... is to die and be reborn as pure beings, as bodhisattvas. Thus, let us ascend together!"
Both the demons and humans were left speechless as they stared at this new enemy that had just arrived. The Nine Sun Venerable laughed, his aura surging with so much power that everyone felt completely powerless before him.
Except these three women—the Summoner King's wives and the strongest women in this world. The Vampire Queen Eleanora, the Divine Saintess of Holy Spirits Elizabeth, and the Yggdragon Queen Erika.
Their Auras surged with immense power. The giant divine tree Erika had brought along fused with her and transformed her into a giant half-wooden dragon and half-spirit human. The radiance of the holy spirits above descended upon Elizabeth as she grew white and golden scales by fusing with her spirits, alongside feathered wings and a halo. And the power of Demons, Dragons, and Gods manifested within Eleanora, compressed and fused with her Vampiric Power.
The Summoner King's wives unleashed their strongest forms, shaking the very foundations of the planet the same way their husband did. Although incomparable to him even now, together they were almost his match in power.
"We will not let you spread more destruction."
"Wherever you came from, you had better start getting back there."
"We won't have mercy!"
"Ahhh, what beautiful radiance. Let us ascend together, everyone. The path toward salvation lies in death and rebirth... and I shall graciously bless you with it."
As all these conflicts within Spiritias intensified, a large crack above the skies began to spread. The giant vortex that had begun to connect and absorb all the worlds spread open, and several immense figures began to descend...
