By using a combination of Mana Control, all of my freaking Mana, Telepathy, and my Parallel Mind Thought Processing Skills, I was able to enhance my very soul, it seems that Mind and Soul were connected, the more you enhance your mind, the more your soul is enhanced as well.

Through my desire to help Benladann, my Mana Control moving my will and mana outside of my body, and the Telepathy helping me creating the route inside of Benladann's mind, I was actually able to create something of a phantom form, an out-of-body-experience, and I dived inside of Benladann's consciousness, arriving inside of this completely abyssal world of perpetual, and twisting darkness.

I expanded my senses widely through this space, as I quickly sensed the presence of two beings, deciding to move in their direction, I moved at incredible speeds, such speed that I had never thought possible for me. Perhaps as a Phantom Form, I can move way quicker.

FLASH!

As I flew towards the direction of the presences, I saw a gigantic tower of twisting black mold, slimy ooze that bubbled, gibbered, and pulsated grotesquely around.

And in the middle of its monstrous grasp, the figure of Benladann could be seen!

It was her, the tall young woman with blue skin, long silvery-white hair, and golden eyes.

However, she seemed to be in constant pain, and screaming!

The mold was seeping into her flesh, and entangling her, it was trying to assimilate her!

If I let it do this… will Benladann's true self disappear forever? No, I won't let this happen.

"HALT!" I roared, as I flew at an immense speed towards the tower of mold, releasing ice and cold winds from my entire body as I exuded the power of my will!

The screams suddenly stop as Benladann begins to breathe heavily, noticing me.

"Ah… D-Drake!" she cried, as her golden eyes began to cry.

The mass of crimson-red eyes glared at me, unleashing an enormous bloodthirst!

Each of the bloody eyes it had noticed me, and it somehow knew about me, it hated me! I could clearly feel it from all the feeling of pure hate it exuded all against me!

"Youuuu…! YOUUUUU…!" it roared, as enormous black tentacles began to slowly move towards me!

"Yeah, I got it the first time. You hate me, don't you?" I asked rather teasingly, as the entity groaned!

"You're that Drake, aren't you!? The one that separated me from my Miranda! I don't know how exactly you got inside here, but I won't let you take her away from me anymore! Miranda, I mine… MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE!"

"Unnngggh…! Sorry… for being so weak…" cried Benladann.

"Her name is not Miranda! She's Benladann!" I roared, as my entire Phantom Form exuded an enormous aura of ice and winds, I was able to somehow conjure magic in this place, and all the Mana I charged into this form was still here with me!

"SHE DOESN'T HAS ANY NAME LIKE THAAAAAT!!!"

BOOM!!!

The gigantic mass of oozing black mold began to shake everywhere, as its enormous tentacles began to launch at me like vicious sharp spears, trying to destroy me!

Icicle Rain!

I quickly conjure an easy spell, creating several icicle spears, and firing them at the mold with the impulse of my winds!

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

Each icicle spear reaches the mold, exploding into ice and winds, and easily freezing the mold everywhere the attacks touched and expanded!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

"GGRRRUUUAAARRGGH…!"

The entity of Mold groans in pain, as I quickly dive into the frozen mold and tear it apart with my freezing claws, shattering it all into fragments that were suddenly turned into dust and disappeared!

"Unnggh…! What kind of… power is that?!" asked the Mold, as it suddenly used its mass to attack me, trying to drown me into a sea of twisting black mold!

SPLASH!

Unngh…!

The mold not only was trying to drown me into it, but it twisted as if it were all alive, trying to crush me through the pressure from all around my body!

It was like a giant hand that had grabbed me, and it was now about to crush me as if I were a mere bug!

But I got my Magic to back me up!

Ice! Wind!

FLASH!

Suddenly, I generate an explosion of ice and wind magic all around me, which freezes all the mold around me!

I use my gigantic and monstrous claws to shatter the mold into pieces, rushing through all of it and freezing it while crushing it!

CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!

"UNNNNGRRRYYYAAAHHH…! Y-YOU PILE OF GARBAGE!" it roared, as it began to expand the mold all around me, tentacles came forward against me from all sides, but I froze them and sliced them into pieces with slicing winds!

SLASH! CRASH! SLASH! CRASH!

Explosions and shockwaves resonated through the entire battlefield, as the frozen mold was shattered by my claws!

I enhanced my body with more of my Mana, reaching the peak of the mass of mold as I froze it all with my breath attacks, the mold was unable to get near as I completely overwhelmed it!

Know the might of a dragon!

"You're calling me garbage, but you're already dying! Let go of Benladann, she is not yours, she is of no one!" I roared, as I reached Benladann like a flash of blue and emerald colors, ice and winds resonating around my phantom body, using my gigantic claws, I frozen and sliced the mold tentacles entrapping Benladann, and I grabbed her with my other arms!

"UNNNGRRRYYYAAHHH…! Y-YOUUU…! STOP! DON'T TAKE HER AWAY FROM MEEEEE!" it roared.

"D-Drake… You came to save me…" said Benladann.

"Benladann, I told you that you were not alone!" I said as I glared at the mold from above, as it struggled to move and gibber, it was almost completely frozen!

"You have a very toxic relationship with Benladann, how about we cool down things for now until you can chill out?" I asked as I unleashed my breath of ice all over the mold, and then, with my claws, I sliced through it all, shattering it into pieces completely!

"UNNNGGGGOOOOOOOOHHH…! AAAAAAAHHH…! Mi… ran… da…!"

BOOM!!!

As I saw the Mold explode into pieces and dissipate, I was suddenly moved back to my body.
