Chapter 989 Maria Doesn't Hold Back!
-----
As I kept an eye in the battles around me, I continued fighting Maleficus, who showed to be quite amazingly resilient. The old bastard was very proficient at getting a beating, because he simply could keep on taking more and more.
"[Abyssal Dragon's Palm]!"
Creating a foul imitation of my own Palm Attacks, he swiftly stretched his Miasmic Arm, replacing the one I had cut off from his shoulders and swiftly slamming it against me.
CRAAASH!!!
The pressure and power were enormous, and by merely touching this hand, I felt that my soul was slowly burning and dying. This is most likely the power of his Abyssal Flames and the powers he has cultivated thanks to his One Thousand Abyssal Ghosts Physique.
But it's not like I had ran out of tricks myself. In fact, I was just starting myself. Between my powerful weapon attacks to my life draining and weakening curses, I had still a few aces I hadn't used yet!
"[Poisonous Calamity Swarm Body]: [Calamity Poison Form]"
I gritted my phantasmal teeth and swiftly transformed my body into a mass of poisonous slime. It grew several times larger than normal, while still combining my phantasmal, miasma, and spiritual properties. Giant crimson eyes popped out, tentacles, jaws everything I could think of that could scare and overwhelm him even so slightly.
FLUOSH!
A sea of poison swiftly drowned Maleficus, the acidic substances quickly beginning to burn through his wounds, worsening them by the second. He screamed, as he tried to free himself from my grasp, but it was too late!
"Aaarrgghh!"
"You're mine, bastard!"
I extended my tentacles around him and kept piercing his flesh, digging deeper into his wounds. His body was incredibly resilient because of all the poor souls he had absorbed, and the miasma constantly flowing inside. It was also refined by using perhaps dozens of monster body parts, like true cultivators I guess.
"G-Get off me, you aberrant monstrosity!"
With a furious roar, his body grew more black dragon scales, most likely from absorbed wyverns, or even worse, dragons he found and devoured. His body grew in size, as he swiftly started tearing my poisonous mass apart with powerful slashing attacks using his long nails. He still had a missing arm, and it the wound left by it was still making him feel exhausted.
"Aberrant monstrosity? You should take a look at yourself in the mirror, Maleficus!"
With both claws and tail attacks, he managed to almost free himself, only to be greeted by a dozen spheres of darkness, nether, and phantasmal flames. I conjured my [Abyssal Netherworld's Star] right in front of his face.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Each explosion flew away a smaller piece of his own body, his scales were sent flying, as his body quickly pummeled down. While bleeding and being poisoned, he gritted his teeth, quickly opening his jaws and unleashing another breath attack.
"DIEEE!"
BOOOOMMM!!!
The beam pierced through my body, leaving a giant, deep hole. It clashed behind me and made the ceiling crumble down into pieces. But I swiftly recovered back to normal, wielding both of my weapons, and unleashing a barrage of attacks imbued with Moonlight Flames against him.
"Is that it?!"
"Wha…?! You're fine after taking that hit head-on?!"
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
I slashed through his body countless times, while constantly conjuring more curse runes that drained away his life and energy. His stats continued decreasing, making him weaker and more susceptible to my magic. A dozen spheres of nether flames swiftly collided from behind, pushing him right towards my own weapons again.
BOOOM!
"How can you have such seamless control over your abilities?!" He groaned, vomiting blood as I greeted his neck with my giant axe.
"[Umbral Moonlight Rampage]!" I roared, swiftly activating my axe's technique once more. A rampage of attacks constantly pushed him further and further towards his limits. Maleficus quickly counterattacked with his single arm and his tail, while unleashing kicks and beams of abyssal darkness. However, my blows easily overwhelmed his own, I was slowly pushing him to a corner.
"Dammit!" He raised his only arm, suddenly feeding it with his ghostly physique powers and transforming it into a titanic draconic arm, which he attempted to use to crush me. The pressure was immense, and with merely touching it, I felt my soul beginning to be consumed, burning away and reducing in size.
But the chaotic core on the depths of my soul kept pumping miasma, regenerating my soul faster. My Divine Ember flared as I created a giant black hole in the area right below the claws.
"You fucked up."
"Huh?!"
TRUUUMMM…!!!
In a split of a second, I activated my [Ultimate Skill: Yog-
Sothoth], which opens a black hole, a gate to an endless, all-
consuming void. The reason why I don't use this as often is because its exhausting, but this was the ideal moment. The sound of his bones crushing and being triturated reverberated across the temple, the screams of Maleficus quickly alerted the rest of the vampires as they saw his entire arm being devoured, blood splattering everywhere.
"Gryyyaaaggh!"
"Now, it's time for you pay for all the shit you've done you disgusting motherfucker!"
I kicked him in the chin and then crushed him down into the floor with my heel's abilities, combined with my kicking techniques. The sound of his soul cracking and tearing apart echoed, he vomited a mouthful of blood as he tried to resist relentlessly.
"NOOO!"
With a furious and defiant roar, his aura clashed against me, but I simply expanded the black hole, quickly absorbing his own Aura and cutting it off, it felt like he lost a good chunk of his own powers with that, making him gasp in disbelief.
"W-What…?! You're… this is…!"
He could barely speak as I kept hacking through his tough scales, tearing them down piece by piece, his flesh and bones were exposed, I quickly carved them out with my axe and my sword.
And then, I reached ten consecutive combo blows, my axe turned deep red, I could finally use that technique.
"Let me go, you fiend!"
Maleficus tried to escape my range, but my slimy venomous tentacles dragged him closer to me. I couldn't help but smile like the vile monster he called me, as I swung my axe down his throat.
"[Ultimate Titan Blow]"
CRAAASSSHH!!
