Elfina's Black Necrotic Miasmic Ego Armor was growing more monstrous by the second, covering her body until nothing but her eyes could be seen through her skull-shaped helmet. Her shoulders resembled the skulls of goats with sharp horns, and a crown made of metallic black thorns grew around her helmet.
Her phantasmal powers shaped slowly and transformed into a powerful, overwhelming cape that even connected with her own Cosmic Aura, channeling the powers of the Cosmic Stone within the armor.
"You're so resilient…" Elfina said with anger in her voice, pointing her Skull-tipped staff at Kireina. "If I hadn't summoned you, nothing of this would have happened, KIREINA!"
"Yes! Tell her everything you feel, don't hold back a single thing, Elfina!" The voice of Hel echoed within the chambers, as Elfina confronted Kireina while furiously.
"Nothing… This suffering… T-The blood… the people screaming… The tears… If it had only ended… with my death… Maybe everything could have been stopped… Maybe there could have been a better ending…" Elfina muttered, her aura only grew more and more monstrous with each passing second.
"Heh, seems like you've got a grudge with me you need to adress, Elfina?" Kireina smiled back at her, as Aquamarine covered her body and formed a beautiful armor around her body. "Very well, tell me everything that is troubling you, girl!"
"You think… this is a joke?! Do you think this is… That this is A LAUGHING MATTER?!" Elfina furiously said, as her tenebrous Staff started glowing with powerful combined energies of Divinity, Mana, Netherworld Essence, Miasma, and even Cosmic Energy!
FLAAAAASH!
"[Cosmic Tears]!!!"
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
Suddenly, the space around Elfina distorted as countless masses of cosmic energy gathered one after the other, they were her very tears which flowed from her eyes, which emerged behind her within her aura, the tears seemed like a concentration of all the energies within her, flying directly towards Kireina and everyone else like deadly bullets!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
Sol and Fiere were shielded by Kireina as she decided to leave behind her tiny body and transform, quickly enlarging her body and taking the shape of a gigantic and monstrous armor-covered butterfly. However, the Cosmic Tears were incredibly strong, even as she protected them, Kireina felt them piercing through her body and exploding constantly.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
"Fuck. Even Aquamarine's defenses are not enough?!" Kireina wondered. "Elfina…!"
Kireina didn't wanted to go all out, but she quickly realized that there was no helping it. She had to beat the shit out of her own summoner before she could even give Kireina the opportunity to free her from her current state.
"Fine, you leave me no option, let's fight fire with fire then!" Kireina roared, pushing forward and suddenly shapeshifting once more, her entire body began transforming into the vey embodiment of Chaos and Cosmic Light, and then… Light itself as well! A distortion of three powerful elements appeared, shaping into the slight form of a beautiful butterfly, while her hair grew wider, forming enormous tentacles filled with countless eyes.
"[Divine Embodiment]: [Chaos]! [Cosmos]! [Purifying Light]!"
FLAAAAASH!
The powerful Light of Chaos and Cosmos shone brightly, as Elfina found herself trapped within a small Domain made out of Kireina's own body.
"[Phantasmal Flames] + [Holy Flames] + [Niflheim's Frost Queen Arts] + [Purifying Blazing Holy Fallen Star] + [Starfall] = [Abyssal Chaos Blight Starfall]!"
TRUUUM! TRUUUM! TRUUUM! TRUUUM!
All around Kireina, her entire surroundings began to distort as the powers of many Skills being temporarily fused happened, the skills combined into a brand new power, a technique that combined several of these elements together, blazing stars made of Abyssal Blight Flames appeared, all of them beginning to rain over Elfina mercilessly!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOOM! BOOOOOMMM!!!
"AAAGGHHH…! S-Such malicious power…!"
Elfina couldn't defend against Kireina's incredibly powerful technique, her barriers were easily shattered into pieces one after the other, and her armor began finally taking some damage. Each explosive [Abyssal Chaos Blight Star] covered her armor with more and more cracks!
"Elfina! Stop this nonsense and wake up already! I don't want to hurt you anymore!" Kireina roared back at her, only enraging Elfina even more.
"YOUUUUUU…! This is not NONSENSE! I will just make it all disappear, and when that's finally done, I'll be able to finally be at ease, and everyone… will… be in peace too!" Elfina roared, her powers quickly beginning to distort once more as Hel's shadows appeared behind her. "[Cosmic Despair]!"
FLUOOOOSH!
A sphere of pure darkness emerged on top of Elfina's staff, beginning to distort space around it and suddenly consuming everything within its obscurity.
"What sort of power is this- Ungh?!"
Once Kireina touched this darkness, her mind and senses became numb, her very consciousness started to leave her very body and soul! And everything within her mind began emerging, her memories, her sadness, her fury, her wrath, her frustration, her… Despair!
"T-This power…!"
Kireina quickly resisted it but it seemed rather hard, even for someone like her. Perhaps Divine Techniques wouldn't be able to affect her mind like this but Cosmic Powers were different, they encompassed the entire spectrum of laws and even against Gods, they were very lethal.
"[Heavenly Light Cathedral]!!! [One Hundred Holy Beams]!"
However, help came from the outside, as Kireina's very domain was pierced by a hundred smaller beams of holy light and an enormous cathedral made of light which encompassed Kireina entirely, healing her from the strange "Cosmic Despair" she was feeling, and also devastating the rest of this dangerous darkness!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOOM! BOOOOOM!
"Kireina-sama! Are you okay?!" Brunhild called Kireina, emerging behind her alongside all of her allies.
"Don't go doing everything by yourself! We will simply not allow it." Sol said furiously.
"Elfina is just as important to us as it is for you, Kireina!" Fiere said.
"You may be strong, but while holding back, you don't stand a chance against her. Let's work together at stopping her." Luminous said.
"Hah, you guys…" Kireina sighed, smiling back at Elfina. Her Divine Embodiment form quickly growing larger and larger, as a powerful Cosmic Aura encompassed her allies. Kireina quickly combined several buffing spells and skills together into a new technique. "[Abyssal Cosmic Light Veil]!"
FLAAAASH!
Veils made of Cosmic Light, Purifying Light, and Chaos emerged over everyone's bodies, granting them an extra protection against Elfina's dangerous attacks.
"Fine, let's do it together then."
