Chapter 1004: One Last Push!
However, to release its true potential, she first needed to transform using her Divine Fusion Skill and channel the power of the Void Dragon Spirit Soul she was cultivating within her very being.
This power was one of immense strength, but it came at the cost of consuming her life force rapidly. Without Elayne\'s domain, Rita would have already dropped dead from summoning this enormous gate, an upgrade that didn\'t led to the Underworld anymore, but to a completely separate realm.
One where only the Void, and whatever resided in it existed. And that thing, what resided within the void, it moved. And it acted. Unable to find a logic explanation as to where exactly this thing came from, Rita conjured the spell.
The monstrous entity whispered into her ears words she couldn\'t understand, she simply focused on what she was doing right now. To maintain the gate and to keep the Demon King at bay. Thankfully, the system provided her with protection against mind controlling powers and so on, so the whispers of this strange void entity did not affect her!
However, it wasn\'t as if the monster needed to be understood, as long as she offered her energies, he would feed and he would fight happily. His gigantic tentacles relentlessly wrapped around the Demon King\'s body, his arms tightly wrapped, and stopping his movements!
"W-What is this?! Who are you?! AARRGH!"
The Demon King of the End had absolutely no idea what this thing was! Elayne for a second wondered why the system would even let someone summon such a monstrosity.
However, there was absolutely no time to think about it anyways. Her entire army clashed against the Demon King, shredding through, slashing through, and smashing through his flesh.
Everyone, absolutely everyone was here!
"I won\'t let you move! Freeze!"
Skadi released her frost magic at full power, beginning to freeze a part of the Demon King\'s face.
"My Beast Spirits, go!"
Johanna summoned and channeled all the Beast Spirits she had contracted, unleashing a stampeded of their manifestations.
"RAAARRR!"
Acorn transformed, becoming a gigantic and muscular divine squirrel monster, biting, gnawing, and releasing beams of light from his jaws.
"Dammit! I definitely shouldn\'t be here!"
Ambil unleashed his full powers he had been accumulating after leveling so freaking much, his hammer growing up to a hundred times its original size, composed entirely of his flames, as he started smashing the demon king\'s head with it.
"I\'ll use everything I have too, everything, absolutely everything! To become one with the Earth, even the one of the Demon King Continent!"
Lily transformed, commuting with the corrupted and miasmic Earth of the Demon King continent as she relied on Elayne\'s healing to resist the miasma coursing through her ever growing and expanding body.
This was Lily\'s Soul-Bound Divine Fusion Skill: {Spiritual Divine Mother of the Earth}!
A giantess made of black stone and Demonite surged from the ground, and then a second, a third, a fourth! She controlled it all, even as she felt it burned and hurt.
Lily unleashed a barrage of physical blows; the Demon King was being punched constantly!
"ENOUGH WITH YOU!"
However, with a furious and demonic roar, the Demon King unleashed a shockwave of demonic energies of high corruption levels, pushing almost everyone back.
TRUUUMMM!
Yet Lily resisted and used her many "doppelgangers" to protect everyone else, while continuously hitting the demon king more and more, forming giant spears of black Demonite and diamond.
At the same time, Elena attacked with all her might, all her skills all her spells, everything. countless slashing attacks reached the demon king, his body slowly beginning to give up!
However, he bit his own flesh and started to regenerate, eating himself!
"I WON\'T GO DOWN!"
"Are you sure about that, buddy?!"
BAAAM!
However, a massive blazing fist punched the Demon King\'s face and then reached his chest, a barrage of punches, in fact! This was followed by a myriad metallic feather projectiles piercing and slashing through the demon king.
It was Mark, of course!
"Keep going at it, don\'t stop!"
As he roared, Angelina appeared from above, her Archangel Form quickly phasing through the Demon King\'s magic attacks and beginning to destroy most of his arms. Her magic attack struck his face and chest, beginning to slowly open up a large wound.
"Use that wound, abuse it! Keep hitting it there!"
"Let\'s fucking do it!"
Elayne roared, her body beginning to transform as she saw everyone working together! Inspired, she transformed, channeling her equipment abilities and her skills one more time.
FLASH!
Suddenly, the skies opened, as an angel-like being surged from the skies and descended into Elayne\'s draconic body, covering her with an aura of holiness and divinity! Her appearance became more defined, resembling a white and silver colored dragon with feathered angelic wings.
[You have activated the [Gaia\'s Yggdrasil Valkyrie Orichalcum Torso Armor] Ability: {Valkyrie\'s Descent}!]
[A Valkyrie has descended into your body, enhancing all your capabilities, temporarily changing your appearance and increase All Stats, Holy Light Power, and Weapon Skill Power by +500%!]
[Duration: 5 Minutes.]
"Not enough…!"
Suddenly, she activated her other Divine Beast Skill, the one that had just recently evolved. Her entire body twisted, gaining black scales and tentacles monstrously surging from her back, resembling long whips.
Red eyes spread through her entire body, contrasting with her previous transformation! Elayne\'s draconic form took an even more drastic appearance change, as she resembled a dragon of both holy light and pure darkness and void.
[You have activated the [Space-Warping Eldritch Spirit Body] Skill Effects, transforming into the Eldritch Embodiment of your own abilities!]
[You\'ve become an Eldritch Spirit, an Abyssal embodiment of your very being. Once transformed, your Stats increase by +1109%. Your Mana and Spiritual Essence are being constantly drained, however.]
[Duration: 10 Minutes.]
"RAAAAHHH!"
With a furious and monstrous roar, Elayne clashed against the Demon King of Death. Her Aura of Holy Light and Dark Void combining together with all six of her swords, fusing into a massive spear of pure holiness and darkness.
She had never felt this burning sensation through every inch of her body! She was combining elements that clashed against one another, constantly destroying her insides and even weakening her soul!
"DON\'T YOU DARE STOP MEEEE!"
The Demon King hit Elayne in her three heads, almost destroying them! Even with all this power, she wasn\'t able to damage him properly. His wound was already beginning to recover.
"More… I need more power…! Everyone, please!"
Yet she kept moving forwards, golden threads connecting her to her Divine Beasts shone brightly, her Familiars suddenly turned into masses of light, fusing into her body temporarily, giving her even more power.
[You have activated the [Divine Beast\'s Spirit Soul Fusion] Divine Spell!]
[Temporarily, all your Divine Beast Spirits have fused into your very soul! You gained a bonus based on 50% of all their Stats!]
[Duration: 5 Minutes.]
At that moment, Elayne\'s giant black and white sword finally felt like she was piercing through. The burning flesh and black scales of the Demon King of the End began to slowly disintegrate.
Void, Divine Light, and all her other elements converged together into something all-consuming.
And then her sword struck it, the last Altar that was guarded within the Demon King\'s chest.
Crack, crack…!
"N-NO…!"
The Demon King of the End attempted to grab Elayne\'s body with his enormous arms, only to be stopped by everyone else.
"S-Stop…!"
Crack…!
"NOOOO!"
As he screamed in agony, the last altar was destroyed, shattered into pieces and then turned into fine dust.
CRASH!
"GUUUAAAGGGHHH!"
The manifestation of the Demon King of the end trembled in utter agony, his entire body melting and beginning to disappear, as Elayne\'s gigantic spear released all its powers, her foe\'s body exploding.
BOOOMMM!!!
The Demon King fell into pieces into the depths of the pit, as the flames coming from beneath attempted to rush towards her, forming a massive hand!
"I\'LL TAKE YOU WITH MEEEE!"
As it was about to grab Elayne, a massive hundred-layered shield of rainbow-colored magic emerged below her, shielding her from the attack!
BAAAM!
Elayne glanced towards the origin of it, it was Brisingra, of course!
"Lady Planta, please end this!"
Elayne nodded with her draconic heads, charging her power into her spear.
"RAAAAHHH!"
However, the Demon King attempted to keep fighting even from the depths of hell, more and more blazing hands surged from below.
Yet…!
"{Absolute Divine Time Magic}: {Chrono Stasis}!"
TRUUUM!
All the blazing arms stopped moving instantly, captured within a domain where time stopped completely.
It was of course, the doing of Mercedes.
Her Mana and her life force were being consumed to conjure an incredibly powerful spell.
"Do it… PLANTA!"
As she cried, Planta already had her powers completely accumulated within the tip of her massive spear.
"You really don\'t know when to give up, don\'t you?!"
She pointed the spear down.
"Go back to hell and think about what you\'ve done!"
FLAAASH!
The giant spear descended towards hell, piercing all the blazing hands at once and destroying them.
An explosion of bright light and all-consuming dark void reached the pit\'s depths, quickly making all the stone around it collapse down.
BOOOMMM!!!
Another enormous explosion consumed everything, as the rubble completely covered the pit, sealing the only entrance the Demon King of the End had to reach the surface!
As Elayne watched the scene in silence, her sword and her shovel appeared by her side, as if teleporting towards her, this was the power of soul-bound weapons such as these.
"You made it back…" She sighed in relief. "I think… I think it\'s finally over now."
A wave of purifying light passed through the entire continent, purifying the miasma and leaving behind vegetation everywhere.
The once corrupted continent where only death and miasma existed, was now lush green, as the beautiful sun slowly descended from the horizon.
