Chapter 1080 Rose"s Special Ability & Red"s Trump Card!
-----
The blade reached her, immediately piercing through Red"s defenses and then exploding!
BOOOOOOMMMM!!!
The explosion"s smoke spread across the skies, turning everything red. For a few seconds, Red was blinded! Using this opportunity, I immediately reached her!
"Unngh… Do you truly believe that an attack from me would damage me?! In your dreams- Ah!"
Before Red could smile back at me from within the smoke, I already appeared before her, blocking her view from the scenery around us as my claws, imbued with the power of Holy Sun and Primordial Ice, reached her once more!
"[Primordial Holy Ice Dragon Claws]!"
SLAAASH! SLAAASH!
Two slashes of my claws impacted her in an instant, slicing through her barriers and damaging her red armor. I continued attacking her in a series of blows as I continued to freeze her body and her domain, making her slower than me as a result!
The power of a Primordial Ice gave me the ability to freeze opponents, naturally, temporarily, I could also slow them down, the more of my ice spread over their bodies, the slower and slugger they become!
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! CLAAa.s.sSHH!
"UUAAAGGGH…!"
Crack… crack…!
CRASH!
Red"s Armor shattered at long last, as I greeted her with ten enormous spheres of light right away which I conjured in parallel using the Minds of my other heads!
"Huh?!"
Her face was filled with horror as every escape route she had was blocked by these enormous spheres of pure light reaching her way!
"Divine Holy Light Magic: [Overpowering Holy Sun] x9!"
FLAAAAa.s.sSSHHHH!!!
Nine enormous suns made of holy light impacted against Red all at once. The shining light burned through her entire body. The armor covering her instantly turned into ashes as her aura and domain were suppressed!
"[Detonate]!"
BOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!
"GYYAAAAAHHH…!"
The scream of Red being in agony echoed across the skies, the Vampires fighting my group were instantly shocked, looking at the scene as they were desperately fighting my allies.
The power she had over them weakened slightly, as if they were barely about to regain their consciousness, but not yet. It was clear that even after that explosion, she was still alive.
The smoke dissipated, showing her body. She was completely covered by black roasted flesh, but she was still breathing…
"Hahh… Hahhhh…"
"You"re a tough nut to crack… That"s Rank 9 for you, I guess."
"Y-You b.a.s.t.a.r.d…!"
Red muttered, her body slowly began to regenerate, as the crust covering her body started to fall apart.
"You think I am going to let you recover so we can go for round two? I am not interested in that."
TRUUUMMM…!
Suddenly, s.p.a.ce and time distorted themselves around Red, as two dream portals opened with Skadi and Uller coming out of them to surprise her!
FLAAAASH!
"…What?!"
She was once more surprised, as the two weapons flared with red-colored Divine Blood Aura coming from Rose"s power!
CLAAAa.s.sSHHH!!!
Both weapons quickly pierced through her body, impaling her from both sides and filling her with enormous quant.i.ties of explosive damage, her entire body began to distort, growing like a balloon.
"G-Guuh… Guuuaagggh…! AAAAGGGGHH…!"
She tried to conjure her magic, but there was a little problem.
Rose"s Divine Spirit"s Ability [Vampire Slayer] and [Vampiric Drain] were activated!
Divine Spirits were able to develop their own Abilities, usually two or more as they grew stronger. Rose had only two of them, but they were strong enough that they were surely amazing against Vampires.
This is the reason behind her saying that she was "made for defeating Vampires"!
"T-This power… T-This aura…! I can"t… Why can"t I conjure anything?!" Red cried, suddenly realizing Rose"s presence was within both weapons. "YOU! ROSE!"
"I am sorry, milady, but today, we break all connections!" Rose said, pushing through Red"s flesh and piercing through her divine core!
Crack…! Crack…!
"W-Wait…! STOP!"
Crack… crack…!
"NO!"
Crack…!
"S-STOOOOP!"
CRAAASH!
FLASH!
Her Divine Core was shattered, as a shining red light emerged from within her very inflated and amorphous body, a gigantic explosion of red color was unleashed, Red was blown to bits.
BOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!
The explosion unleashed dozens of shockwaves everywhere, breaking the sound barrier and shacking both heaven and earth.
TRUUUUMMM…!
Suddenly, the Vampires fighting and those that were captured snapped back to their true selves. Their transformations stopped altogether as well.
"Ah… What is happening?"
"I am… okay?"
"What is going on?"
"Where am I?"
"Ah! W-What is happening?! Ruby? Where"s Ruby?!"
Ruby"s mother began calling for her daughter as her horrid bat-like monster form quickly was reversed into her original form.
I guess shattering her Divine Core did it!
"Calm down, we"ve freed you from Red"s powers, calm down." Rakasha tried to calm down Ruby"s mother.
"Ah… Red… No, she"s not dead yet, she"s not dead yet! I can feel her… power… crawling around!"
Ruby"s mother panicked, as she saw the snowy landscape below her.
Suddenly, I felt something.
Her power had not gone anywhere.
The flesh and blood left behind by her body exploding…
All of it began gathering within the floor, as if she was a ma.s.s of red-colored unkillable slime.
She really reminds me of Gluttony…
"Aaaaahhhh… AAAHHH!"
Her roar echoed, as I quickly prepared to fight her again.
"I knew you weren"t going down with a single hit. So even shattering your Divine Core doesn"t kill you?" I wondered. "Next thing is… aiming at your soul."
TRUUUUMMMMM…!
However, before I could move, red lightning emerged from within her blob-like body, reaching everywhere and the skies.
The skies suddenly turned darker, as lightning started to emerge everywhere, the clouds went slowly into a dark red color.
The enormous pressure kept all of us away from her as she reformed!
"You b.i.t.c.h, I am not going to let you!"
I covered my entire body with Holy Light and continued to rush through her pressure, however, I was unable to completely dive through it all.
I saw within her slime-like body as several of her Divine Core Fragments gathered together and rea.s.sembled themselves, fusing with other red jewels which she had in her accessories.
Don"t tell me those are…?!
