Chapter 2259 Redgaria's New Power
-----
The Abyssal Blood Soul Blades descended at a rapid speed, about to slice everyone below into pieces. Within that moment, the girls rapidly considered escaping! Kireina had given them a special accessory, a one-time use ring to teleport directly inside of her World Realm. Unlike her, they were unable to easily teleport and move through space, and the density of space in this area was much heavier, the ring was their last resort.
However, would that be enough? Their pride was warriors stopped them from escaping, if they did, wouldn't Kireina be disappointed on them? She trusted them, so they believed that it would only disappoint her if they simply escaped when she was putting her life on the line!
"RESIST!"
Altani quickly conjured as many barriers as possible, her Golden Winds condensed into big, thick dragon scales. The blades started rapidly grinding through them, shattering them into tiny pieces over and over again.
"D-Dammit!"
Charlotte's powers concentrated fully into defending, huge force fields were conjured, becoming barriers made of electromagnetic neon cosmic lightning, which barely held off!
"Yggdrantia, together!"
Faylen combined her powers with Yggdrantia through their spirit contract, several shields of Yggdrasil wood were made, but quickly shattered over and over again.
They were all desperately trying to fight, all while Nephiana was consuming her cosmic elixirs one after another, the process of absorption was rather slow as they had little time to fully get used to their powers.
"You won't make it in time, fools!"
Demiurgus laughed as suddenly, a hundred spears appeared.
Then everyone's eyes widened.
"See? There's no hope! WEAKLINGS! DIE!"
As the spears descended, the barriers shattered within seconds.
Time seemed to be going slowly for everyone in that moment.
The spears continued descending, even faster than the swords.
Soon to pierce their bodies, drain their energies, and weaken them even further.
However...
BOOOM!
The wooden cradle where Redgaria was suddenly exploded with phantasmal and black nether flames, as Redgaria surged amidst the battle, everyone's eyes suddenly were directly to the origin of the explosion, seeing the Necromancer's new form.
His form completely different, his body now made of countless bones aligned together, resembling an armored titan, a king with a crown of black bones, and a dark blue cape.
A wave of nether and cosmic energies was unleashed as his weapon slashed through Demiurgus attacks and his arm, cutting them all cleanly!
"W-What?!"
The Recessed couldn't understand what happened before his other arm was already sliced!
Yet that wasn't all.
The spears that were about to hit everyone down there were already stopped, Charlotte, Faylen, Altani, and Nephiana watched as hundreds of undead combined together into a dome, protecting them.
"Redgaria, that lame guy did all of this?" asked Nephiana, raising an eyebrow.
"That's not the Redgaria we know anymore..." Altani said, looking towards the battle above.
"He has definitely changed, something happened..." Charlotte said. "Is it because of the dead of his Maxima Summon? But that's... It is as if his own Authority evolved? Is that possible without a surplus amount of Cosmic Power?"
"It seems there are indeed other ways... Perhaps..." Faylen muttered. "I can sense within him, a great amount of sorrow and hatred, but also, acceptance of himself? Perhaps Cosmic Authorities can also develop, evolve, or even unlock new powers as the wielders evolve and transform as people too..."
The revelation of Faylen's words quickly came crashing down on the girls, such a tremendous power could also dwell in everyone else, yet because they lacked resolve, or because they had simply not found, or accepted themselves, it was locked away.
Or perhaps there were also other hidden conditions they had absolutely no idea about, it was a series of both specific events and emotional turmoil that provoked what Redgaria had become now.
His presence evolved, and his powers combined, evolving with his endless army of Undead and his Cosmic Energy.
[Your Unique Cosmic Skill: [Primordial World-Conquering Evil Necromancer Authority: [Bones]: Lv2] has fulfilled all Awakening Conditions and has awakened into Unique Cosmic Skill: [Lone Necromancer King's Cosmic Authority: [Undead, Souls, Bones, Death]: Lv3]!]
The loneliness he felt, it became an expression of the power he acquired.
"Just what are you?! You couldn't possibly be just a Vampire?!"
Demiurgus kept losing his unholy blood as his wound would simply not regenerate.
"..."
Redgaria moved forwards, without saying a word.
But his hatred and loneliness were palpable.
SLAAASH!
And it became his power.
