Chapter 279: Yeah, No. (1/2)
-----
CRASH!
Benladann's axe hit the floor, as the shadows began to crack open and shatter!
CRAAASSH!
The light shone from the cracks as I used Skadi to pierce the cracks, opening a large gate of light from the shadow domain and jumping out of it with Benladann.
BOOM!
We arrived on the third floor, which resembled a palace of ice, as we found several phantom clones of Cassiopeia floating in midair while exuding phantasmal energies!
”You've managed to get far, but it will be in vain!”
As she said this, all her phantom clones began to fire purple-colored phantom ice against us!
I generated several blades and spears made of ice and fired them back, impacting with her projectiles and reaching them easily, destroying her attacks with a not even serious attempt.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
Benladann exuded the
power of the Mold from within her, as Mold Tentacles surged from her body and began to destroy the phantom clones one by one while smashing the crystals into the ground.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
The phantom died one by one, as I quickly realized this became a boss fight already.
Damn, and to think that we were speaking with Cassiopeia just normally a few minutes ago! How exciting things had turned!
As we rushed through the palace and destroyed her soldiers and her phantom clones with our magic, I scanned the area and finally found her, her presence exuded the magic of two Rank 3 Mana Cores, one of them at Upper Stage and the other at Peak Stage!
I decided to shapeshift into a Dragon, surprising her senses as I roared monstrously and charged towards the wall where she was hiding behind.
CLAAAASSSSSHHH!
”GROOOOARRR!”
”GYYYAAAHHH!”
She cried in horrendous horror as she saw me emerge. I was a dragon all along!
I used my claws, infusing them with ice and wind and slashing away at her!
SLAAAAAASH! SLAAAAAASH!
I felt as if she shielded herself with armor, taking most of the damage as she was thrown into the walls in front of us.
CLAAASH!
”Uaggh…!”
She vomited a mouthful of blood, looking at us scornfully.
”Damn it… Why… Why do you have to ruin everything now?! After how long I've achieved! You're going to ruin all… I have built! All of my Empire!” she cried; she was going nuts.
She was such a woman, huh.
”I already told you that I don't actually give a fuck!” roared Benladann. Her movements were flashy and fast, and she reached Cassiopeia in an instant!
”W-What?!”
Cassiopeia raised a large, scaled shield, protecting herself from the impact of the dragon ice giant girl!
CLAAASH!
