Chapter 1134: The Resentful Monster
Chapter 1134: The Resentful Monster
Within the Split second that Maria took to reach here and slam the King of the Depths down, she activated another Skill within her arsenal, one that had been obtained mostly randomly out of a Grimoire, but that was very useful!
"{Paladin's Life Sacrifice}!"
FLUOSH!
A bright golden light covered Emeraldine and Partner's bodies, which had been almost torn to shreds, she knew they could regenerate to an extent, but the damage had been to extensive, and Maria didn't want to risk it!
Ding!
[You have activated the [Paladin's Life Sacrifice: Lv1] Skill! You have sacrificed 40% of your Health to the two targets, completely healing them from all wounds and restoring them to their completely healthy appearance.]
[The healed targets will additionally receive a [Holy Blessing of Protection] for 1 Minute, that will increase their Health Points Regeneration Speed and their Defenses by +120%]
[At the same time, you've received a buff to your stats based on 55% of the stats of the two targets you've healed for 1 Minute.]
[However, for this Minute, you won't be able to heal your own Health, be careful.]
She gritted her teeth, sacrificing her own Health Points and rapidly restoring her two lovers back to pristine health, the children they carried were safe as well, thankfully.
"We're back to normal?!" Emeraldine gasped. "Maria! You didn't have to, I could have-" "I'm a vampire, I could recover!" said Partner.
"No, I won't let you get shredded into pieces in front of me!" Maria said, a tear falling from her eyes. "I had no idea this bastard would be this powerful, please stay right behind me and support me! He's coming already!"
"DIEEEE!"
The King of the Depths leaped towards Maria, the red sea of his Domain moving around, as tens of thousands of giant draconic jaws, claws, and titan's fists rushed towards Maria at once.
She could feel his Divinity resonating tremendously with the Domain he created, and also... something strange, the souls, the souls of dozens of divine beings within him!
BAAM! BAAM! BAAM! BAAM!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Maria intercepted the incoming blows with her scythe, as her balance suddenly transformed in shape, becoming a giant axe, while several more arms grew out of her back, all a combination of phantasmal arms and void essence.
"Don't underestimate me."
Maria was desperate now, unleashing her power completely, and activating her newest Fusion Skill, the power of Yin and Yang gathering around her quickly blossomed completely. Her various hands materialized weapons out of her own Shadows and other essences and unleashed a barrage of attacks against the King of the Depths' endless onslaught.
"{Heavenly Nightmare Demon Venerable Abyssal Ghost Asura Battle Arts}: {Enlightened Stance: Brilliance of Yang}!"
Ding!
[You have activated the {Enlightened Stance: Brilliance of Yang} Technique!]
[By channeling your Yang Elemental Ki and Essence you've unleashed a state of pure enlightenment and inner meditation and peace. Your Aura gains the Light Spectrum and Yang, dealing greater damage to Dark, Demonic, and Chaotic beings of up to 1000%. While in this state, your Movement Speed, Dexterity, Agility, and Calmness increases by 500%.] [Any attack will be imbued with the power of the Brilliant Yang and unleash devastating explosions of Light that will deal additional 300% damage within 100 meters around the initial blow. The Light will scatter and create Yang Domains, whoever stands on those will have their Health and Ki restored ten times as fast.]
Maria's entire body erupted with golden and white light, as her stance changed, her movements became even more precise and quick, the King of the Depths was being slowly pushed down, his attacks couldn't possibly match her speed anymore.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
Her scythe slashed through his scales, slowly beginning to accumulate damage, her axe crushed the shattered scales, opening way for her spears to pierce through the exposed skin. Her attacks generated explosions of Yang, which slowly started to grind through the King of the Depth's defenses, even his Divinity and his entire Domain couldn't overwhelm Maria, at most they were equal.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Yet that didn't end there, particles of Yang spread around, creating spheres of golden light which Maria quickly told her allies to get, their wounds, exhaustion, and Ki rapidly healed within these seconds!
"We're healing our Ki?!" wondered Emeraldine. "I can't believe it!"
"Ooh! Now time for the rematch!" Partner roared.
"We have to go help mama, she's on a stalemate!" said Nyx.
"Yeah, let's surround that bastard!" Lucifer roared.
"Let's go!" Jonathan nodded.
"Mama, wait for us!" Arachne said.
Maria felt the pressure of the King of the Depths constantly weighing down on her entire being, her movements became slower, and her entire body was becoming heavier, her attacks began to slow down more and more.
"WE WILL NEVER LOSE! WE ARE THE CHILD OF THEIR SUFFERING AND THEIR RESOLVE! WE SHALL PURGE THE WORLD, AND PROTECT THE SEA, OUR DOMAIN!"
The King of the Depths kept talking nonsense Maria couldn't understand properly, things that didn't made sense to an extent, but that she quickly started to believe could have to do with what happened to the ancient Divine Sea Dragons and the Ocean Titans.
His Divinity was growing larger and larger, the Aura that Maria had seen before, composed of countless of suffering divine souls emerged again, the screams of countless entities
reverberating.
"WE ARE REVENGE, WE ARE HATRED, WE ARE KARMA!"
As he kept groaning, his attacks became stronger, and stronger, and stronger!
Maria was being pushed back over and over again, her weapons started shattering and only her Scythe and her Axe were holding back, her many limbs being torn to shreds continuously, the power of the King of the Depths continued growing, he had not even unleashed everything
yet.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
"What are you talking about?! Just who are you exactly?! Are you really... the Sea Dragons and the Ocean Titans?!"
"WE ARE THEM, YET WE AREN'T THEM! WE ARE THE CHILD BORN FROM THEIR HATRED, FROM THEIR SUFFERING, FROM THEIR DESIRE FOR REVENGE! WE ARE THE KING OF THE DEPTHS!" With a furious and draconic roar, countless tails clashed against Maria, the enormous force, packed with the monster's Divine Force, was enough to send her flying down again.
BAAAMMM!!!
At the same time, thousands of hands made of the red sea domain started grabbing her and trying to tear her to shreds!
