Chapter 1348: Intense Battle
Chapter 1348: Intense Battle
Sylphy's demonic form rampaged the True Demon, her entire body overflowing with black and purple flames, as her Yggdragon Aura shapeshifted and transformed into something else entirely, resembling a ferocious, aberrant three-headed hydra-like dragon.
It overflowed with Abyssal, Darkness, Poison, and Demonic Energies, nothing at all like her previous Yggdragon Aura of Flames, Nature, and Life!
"SHAAAHHH!"
The ferocious three-headed Aura roared, opening its jaws, and unleashing three beams of abyssal flames against the True Demon, piercing through their body, and leaving giant holes behind.
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
"UGH... ARGH!"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The gigantic True Demon experienced immense agony as his entire body was covered on terrible wounds. He was tremendously confident about his own strength and durability, yet Sylphy's awakened powers made him feel completely humiliated.
"This can't be...! No... NOOO!"
With a furious roar, the True Demon rapidly counterattacked Sylphy's overwhelming flow of endless attacks. Hundreds of black pentagrams materializing around his body, firing explosive beams of pure darkness and void against her.
"RAAAAH!"
However, Sylphy furiously slashed apart the beams with her sword and defended with her shield, constantly trying to push forward even as endless explosions hit her entire body constantly.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Her Yggdragon Aura breath attack had a recharge cooldown, so she was unable to utilize its deadly powers again for a couple of seconds...
"Goddess Sylphy!"
Ivy panicked as she saw Sylphy ferociously pushing her way, rushing towards her aid, as her wooden body and her spiritual powers combined together.
"{Yggdrasil's Spirit Shield}!"
FLAAASH!
A beautiful, green, and gold colored shield of spiritual energy and mana materialized in front of Sylphy, helping her take on the hits. The girl's demonic instincts suddenly lessened, as she noticed Ivy by her side.
"Please, goddess Sylphy, calm down your wrath! You mustn't let your anger guide your actions!" Ivy said.
Those words Ivy said weren't at all like those the huntress would ever say at all, they were filled with wisdom, and the fraternal aura of an old and experienced knight.
"B-Bark...?" Sylphy's crimson eyes suddenly lessened their bright crimson light, as she realized that Ivy by her side wasn't just the huntress anymore. "You're... within Ivy?"
"I don't know if he's truly dead, but as he was dying, he fused with my body!" Ivy said. "And this is the result of our fusion. I've not only gained his powers, but also his experience... And sometimes, even something he would say comes out of my mouth! It's a bit weird, honestly! But... I also agree with such words. Goddess Sylphy, calm down!"
"A-Aahh!" Sylphy grabbed her head, feeling a strong headache. "Dammit...! I almost... Ugh! I can't let this power dominate me! A-Alice, please heal my head constantly as I use this power. It seems to have mind corruption powers. Curse never mentioned this!"
"He must have never expected this power to become so strong then!" Alice appeared by her side. "But very well, I shall help as much as I can!"
Sylphy's eyes widened as she saw Alice's new form after absorbing her dark powers, she had become a beautiful, villainous-looking fairy lady with big black wings and black horns, and long purple hair.
FLUOSH!
Alice's powers reached her head, as the darkness consuming her was slowly absorbed. She quickly realized that Alice's new form had this power, to absorb darkness, especially the one clouding judgement.
"It seems I have developed a new power... And I somehow feel much more mature for some reason..." Alice said. "Leave this to me! I have no idea what other things the System could have received, but for now, we don't have time to concentrate on that!"
"You're right...!" Sylphy gasped for air, slowly feeling more relieved as the headache disappeared. "The shield's almost breaking!"
Crack, crack...!
CRACK!
"Y-Yeah, I'm almost out of Mana!" cried Ivy. "Dammit! This True Demon is way different than the rest, just how strong is it?!"
"It must be a direct retainer to a Duke!" said Sylphy. "By far, the Dukes are the strongest Demons. I have fought one before, and managed to win only because I received the powers of a powerful Divine Dragon, Ignatius older brother...! But this is different now, I don't know if I could ever defeat another without his help. We must break through, kill that thing, and seal the Demon Gate before one appears!"
"Gotcha!" Ivy nodded. "But I... Huh?!"
FLUOSH!
Out of nowhere, Ivy felt completely revitalized, as Sylphy's Mana reached her and overflowed through her entire body.
"I have endless Mana, and I can share it if I concentrate a bit!" Sylphy said. "Take as much as you need...! Ivy, let's defeat that thing together, cover me!"
"Gotchaaa!" Ivy felt completely powerful now. "Let's do this!"
CRASH!
Her first shield shattered in that moment, as the magic beams quickly rushed towards the two girls. However, Sylphy quickly conjured her Spells, unleashing a rainfall of Petit Meteors corrupted with her powers, and also her Heavenly Blazing Flames Wall.
"{Accursed Chaotic Meteors}! {Black Heaven's Blazing Walls}!"
Sylphy was still discovering her powers, but fusing spells together has been something she has been doing for a while now. However, her new form offered her a lot of amazing new
effects to them.
Especially now that she had all those Alchemy Runes, which rapidly began to affect her magic, as Sylphy began to quickly discover new ways to use Alchemy too!
"{Spell Synthesis}: {Black Heaven's Abyssal Star Rain}"
Through her Abyssal Energies and immense Mana and her Alchemy, Sylphy combined both smells, creating a gigantic black cloud made of black and purple flames around the True Demon, which constantly fired stars made of darkness into its body.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"UGH?! WHAT THE...?!"
The True Demon was distracted, yet his pentagrams kept firing beams of black infernal energy, Ivy charged forward, conjuring more and more of her Yggdrasil Spirit Shields as she tanked the blows. Sylphy sometimes tanked them as well, using Sapphire's amazing defenses.
"Stop! Don't get any closer!"
The True Demon's body was completely wounded; therefore, his last resort was spamming the strongest magic he could use right now, his jaws opened, charging black lightning and then firing it as a tremendous beam.
"Get away from meeeee!"
TRUUUM!
The gigantic black beam of demonic thunder reached Ivy and Sylphy, as the huntress
combined several layers of her Yggdrasil Spirit Shield, trying to take the hit.
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!
However, they all ended breaking, the beam approaching her within a split second.
"Ivy!"
Sylphy was unable to reach her in time.
BOOOM!
