Chapter 1268 The King Of Dragons VS The Deep One
-----
CRAAAAAAAAASSSHHHHHH…!
Ariel hit the magic circuits spreading across the entire castle's surroundings with the force of a falling meteor. Her special ability [Divine Sea Dragon Fang] instantly activated, destabilizing the entire divine construction, and instantly breaking it apart.
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOOMMM!!!
Countless explosions spread around the country's castle, as the magic divine circuits connecting the entire ritual to the Deep One were instantly disconnected midway through his rebirth!
"GRUUUAAAAGGGGGHHHH…! YOUUUUU… YOU BASTARD…!"
The Deep One groaned in agony, his tentacles suddenly began to melt as if they turned into slime, falling back into the depths of his chasm. Meanwhile, inside of the castle, half of the people sacrificed was still dead, but the Queen, her daughter, and a few other survivors remained alive.
The entire process was going to even sacrifice both of them, as their Stigmas would be freed upon their complete absorption and their souls and magic would become part of the Deep One's soul as well.
However, Drake changed this in the last moment, barely managing to save their lives! The Stigmas in their hands were constantly pouring down miasmic liquid and their own arms began bleeding intensively, however.
"N-No! The ritual was interrupted?! T-The Dragon King has arrived…" The Queen panicked. "I must… at least take the blue orb! The Blue Orb Fragment!!!"
"M-Mother… Help… It hurts…" Cried his daughter, Eleanor while being in the floor, bleeding all over the place. The brainwashing over her had been dispelled, and she was confused and scared. "W-What's happening?! Ungh… Mom, help me!"
"Get off!" The Queen furiously said, kicking her own daughter's face and almost breaking her nose, as she began dragging her wounded body towards the orb.
"Unnggh… Aaggh… M-Mom…" Cried Eleanor, vomiting miasma and blood as her entire body was about to die. In fact, she would had died even more horribly if Drake hadn't stopped the ritual midway through.
Meanwhile, Drake and company glanced from the skies. He had carried everybody else over his shoulders and was looking down below at what happened.
"Drake! Hurry, we have to get into the castle so we can heal the queen and her daughter! I am sure they've been brainwashed by the Deep One through their own unsealed Stigmas!" Sapphire cried.
"Please!" Rose said.
"Alright, let's go!" Drake roared, flapping his wings and flying down below into the castle that was falling apart!
FLAAAASH!
However…
"RAAAAAAARRRRRGGGHH! YOUUUUUUUU…!"
TRUUUUUUUMMMMM…!
An enormous humanoid-shaped entity made up of chaos and black and slimy flesh covered on red eyes emerged from the chasms, it was the Deep One! He had not been sealed either, nor killed.
His gigantic body shapeshifted barely, as it was melting into pieces, creating a massive mass of countless tentacles and coiling all around Drake's body.
CLAAAAASSSHHH!!!
"Unngggh..! You bastard!" Drake groaned, suddenly feeling the Deep One's tentacles piercing through his flesh and beginning to absorb his energy! His barriers were instantly broken by the Deep One's powers.
"DRAKE!" Sapphire panicked.
"Don't worry about me! I have to deal with him myself! All of you go help the Queen and the Princess! I am worried about the other people they've kept captive! Hurry!" Drake quickly created a bubble made out of Divine Ice and encompassed inside Sapphire and everybody else except Benladann and Miranda and sent them straight towards the castle.
As they were sent there, the Deep One laughed, suddenly beginning to regain more and more power by absorbing Drake's fluids and his divine power. His laughter was beginning to spread across the entire country.
From the chasms, his melted body started emerging. Due to the unsealing failing, it felt as if he was between life and death now. He couldn't keep his body completely together, and his powers had greatly decreased as a result.
Nonetheless, he was still tremendously strong, as an entity that had survived in the Chaotic Plane and had devoured dozens of endemic lifeforms of that Plane, he was incredibly powerful.
"HAHAHAHA! I GOT YOU! NOW YOU CANNOT ESCAPE ME!" The Deep One laughed, his entire body finally surging from the craters as he resembled an endless mass of black miasma, flesh, eyes, and tentacles. "I'LL DEVOUR YOU- Ungh?!"
"Oh yeah? Are you having a nice taste of it?" Drake laughed, his entire body had suddenly changed, as he used Spirit Fusion with Gabriel in the last moment, his entire body started to emanate an incredible amount of Heavenly Light all around him!
"[Spirit Magic]: [Heavenly Resonance]!" Drake laughed, as he imbued all his light into the energy the Deep One was absorbing!
FLAAAAAAAASSSSHHH!!!
The power of the heavens above channeled into his very body, as Drake thanked the sun was shining brightly in this morning. Gabriel's special ability, Heavenly Resonance, helped Drake channel the very light of the sun as divine power, the more he absorbed, the more he resonated with the heavens and the brighter and stronger his light magic became. To the point even his interior became pure, shining light.
"Unnngggh?! T-This light! AAAAGGGH! IT HURTSSSSS…! GRYYAAAEEEEEEGGGH…!"
The Deep One began squirming in agony as the entire mass of tentacles grasping Drake suddenly exploded as countless rays of light emerged from within them, the explosion continued all over the Deep One's body, inflicting deadly damage.
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOOOMMMM!!!
"How about that, fucker?" Drake laughed, as Benladann and Miranda at his side quickly began absorbing all the miasma and leftover chaotic energy the Deep One left behind, enhancing their own power.
SPLAAAAAASH!
The Deep One's gigantic, slimy body splashed back into the chasms he came from, as his entire body began twisting in anger, suddenly taking the form of a gigantic, melting sea snake and jumping off!
TRUUUUMMMM…!
"RAAAAAAHHH! I'LL KILL YOUUUUU…!"
The citizens of Aquarius saw in horror as a gigantic, aberrant monster emerged from the depths of their country, roaring furiously and shaking the entire city. Rakasha and the rest of the people stationed in the city already received Drake's commands, and quickly started scouting and helping the people get near the coast, where they would be safer from the battle that was about to happen.
"That's my line." Drake said with a smile. "I'll avenge Aquarius and everyone for what you've done!"
Drake was truly furious, perhaps like never before, his entire body exuded a tremendous aura of all his combined divinities. Even the Deep One felt a slight fear.
