1744 Unexpected Battle!
-----
After collecting all necessary treasures, I had thought we could have it easy and rest, just wait until the trial was over and then move on.
But I was wrong, as usual.
RUMBLE!
That shadowy man emerged from the ruins of the labyrinth I had destroyed behind ours, and then immediately flew towards us at lightning speed.
He looked furious.
I couldn't really blame him, if he was truly a fragment of Oberon, then he was one of those with a quick temper, perhaps.
But there was something odd about him, that power he wielded, it was unlike any other elemental magic, skill, divine ability, or power I've seen.
It was definitely a Unique Skill, but not a normal one either.
So far, he had been barely using it, mostly showing us the most surface level of powers it could achieve.
But I was sure it could do more, within him, there was an almost boundless amount of divine power after all.
That man, I could clearly see it now.
It had around ten divine cores inside of its body.
And he showed us, all of us, what his ability could do.
"{Abyssal Arts}: {Outer Void Domain}"
I prepared for a clash, but everything suddenly turned dark, pitch black.
TRUUUM!
Yes, everything turned into pure darkness, the sky turned black, the ground disappeared too, any surrounding area, forest, dirt, the ruins, everything disappeared and only us remained here.
Floating within this endless void of darkness, as countless small, golden, and white colored stars shone brightly very far away.
It felt as if we've been teleported to outer space.
"W-What?!" even Benladann was left speechless. "That bastard! Let me help as well!"
"Yeah, it's time we get to fight for real!" Miranda nodded. "Benladann, let's fuse!"
"Okay, everyone to your fighting positions!" I said. "I will try to break the domain while we defend against his attacks."
"W-We're fighting before breaking out?!" Emerald panicked the most, but Amehia and Tyrannus remained by his side.
"Lord Emerald, be brave!" Tyrannus roared.
"Let's combine our magic together like before!" said Amehia.
"R-Right!" Emerald nodded, still nervous, but acknowledging his strength. "Okay!"
At the same time, I saw Benladann and Miranda fusing together into their gigantic half titan and half chaos dragon form, overflowing with tremendous power that even seemed to weaken the void around her.
"Benladra, Kate, Drakda, I'm counting on you three too!" I said. "Papa will protect you, so just attack with everything you've got. Use Domains too, as much as you can!"
"Sure!" Benladra nodded. "I'll unleash my new powers!"
"Leave it to us papa," Kate said.
"Raaaahh!" Drakda roared.
All three of them quickly transformed into their dragon forms, overflowing with their powerful Divinities, their surroundings shook as they expanded their domains almost instantly.
Benladra's Domain expanded first, unleashing a gigantic wave of heavenly light and starlight stars, shaking the void itself.
Kate released hers as silver colored thunder zapped and electrified everything, the illusion of giant amounts of silver-colored metallic towers surged, as giant mechanical tentacles flooded everywhere.
Drakda's developing domain was also released, as he tried to copy his sisters, darkness, blood, and chaos were released immensely, resembling a sea of pure miasma and destruction.
RUMBLE!
With my children's three domains, the void domain itself started to shake again, however it had yet to gain a crack at all.
"Another expected result."
Oberon's crimson eyes squinted.
