"What sort of...?!"
CLAAAASH!
Anastasia was unable to speak properly as Maria, now fused with Claw and Mercury, reached Anastasia, and swung her giant wolf claws against her, filled with deadly poison and frost to the brim, she was thrown down into the floor with a gigantic explosion.
BOOOOOMMM!!!
"GRAAAGGH...!"
Anastasia vomited a mouthful of blood, looking at her own body torn to shreds. Blood was coming everywhere from her wounds, her guts were all over the place, and the deadly poison was freezing her from the inside out.
"Hahhhh... N-No... NOT YET...!"
FLUOOOSH!
Her Abyssal Flames surged from the deepest of her chest, engulfing her wounds and slowly burning the poison, as her body quickly regenerated back, but at the same time constantly changed in appearance, twisting more and more.
Her woman-like appearance was only but a silhouette, not even her face remained, as it was completely made out of black flames, with big, red eyes glaring at the werewolf falling directly towards her.
"[Abyssal Inferno]!"
BOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!
The massive flames exploded out into a giant tower of fire, reaching Maria in an instant. However, through Claw's jaws, she smiled, combining the powers of the werewolf with Mercury's endurance and her own magic, she generated a giant wave of purple-colored ice, Poison Frost, firing it as a beam coming from her jaws against Anastasia!
TRUUUUUMMMM...!
Both powers impacted against one another, making the sky and the ground tremble tremendously. Thunderous sparks of lightning spread everywhere, as countless explosions started to emerge one after the other, their magic beams hitting each other constantly.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Anastasia was confident, as she noticed Maria was struggling. At most, fused with these two, she was able to hold her ground for a bit, but she lacked a weapon and could only do this much...
Or so she thought.
FLAAAAASH!
Maria saw the opportunity, rushing down towards Anastasia again and swinging her claws multiple times against her. Anastasia retaliated with countless fireballs, many of them exploded on the spot but didn't stop Maria from pushing forward.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
"Hahahah... HAHAHAHA! As much as you try, you cannot easily-"
However, Maria caught her right in front of her. Instead of swinging her claws, however, she gathered the power of her Poison Body Ego and then...
"[Pandora's Box]"
She summoned a box made of darkness out of nowhere, which slowly opened.
Creaaak...!
And then, an eternal darkness, poison, and chaos surged from within.
"W-What?!"
BOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!
Anastasia was completely consumed by the spell, falling into the ground. Her entire body was divided into pieces... But they slowly started to regenerate back together, even with all the damage she had taken.
She turned into flames, as her soul was consumed by the flames and so the Demonite Core, all together into a giant, monstrous mass of black fire.
"Jonathan... will be mineee... You won't... get him..." She muttered, her entire mind going more and more insane as the Demonite Core twisted her mind even more... "YOU WON'T GET HIM!!!"
FLUUOOOOSSSHHH!!!!
A giant eruption of flames spread into the skies and everywhere else, attacking Maria constantly with countless blazing explosions.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOOOM!!!!
"Unnggh...!" Maria groaned, and so did Claw and Mercury that were taking as much damage as her.
CLAAAASH!
Their fused body fell into the floor, suddenly dividing back into three... Their fusion didn't even lasted that long.
Anastasia was greatly weakened, however, her power was immense, and with her near endless regeneration, they would need much more strength to completely defeat her.
"Hahaha... Useless... I'll burn you to ashes... And Jonathan will be mine afterwards... I love happy endings, hehehe..." Anastasia slowly floated towards them, her mass of flames of a body didn't even resembled a woman anymore, it was just an endless fireball with fire-made tentacles and red eyes.
"You've truly become the monster you've always had been, huh, Anastasia?" Asked Maria with a confident smile. "You've taken a bit too long though."
"A bit too long?! Hmph! What are you so confident about?! I'LL BURN YOU!!!"
Anastasia leaped towards Maria and her two Undead, her flames about to engulf them and burn them into ashes.
"DIE, MARIAAAAA!!!"
SLAAAAAAAASSSHHHH!!!
However, right in front of Anastasia, a slash combining sunlight and moonlight reached her, slicing her body and soul into two halves...
"E-Eh?"
Her Demonite Core shattered into pieces, and her soul was divided into two, this vision quickly turned into many cracks, each crack making her soul shatter into pieces as well.
Crack... crack...
"T-This is... J-Jonathan...?"n0veluSB.c0m
Anastasia saw with her last moments of life as Jonathan had appeared, slicing her into two halves with an enormous, combined power.
Maria, Claw, and Mercury merely bought enough time, fully knowing Jonathan was coming here to slice her up...
"T-This... No... Y-You bastard... How can you kill... someone so beautiful such as me...?!
CRAAASH!
Her Demonite Core and her Soul shattered into pieces, as her consciousness faded away before everything else were to be consumed by a loud explosion of light.
BOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!
Jonathan sighed in relief, as his fusion with Maria ended right after that. Her Poison Body Ego fused back with her Moonlight and Abyss Body Ego, which had also picked up her Swarm Body Ego in the way there.
FLAAASH!
"[Undead Restoration]" Maria said, touching both Claw and Mercury, as she restored their wounds and quickly brought them back in a second.
"Hahhh... We barely did it." Jonathan sighed, resting over the snow. "I'm... exhausted..."
"Ugh?! Ah! I am alive?!" Claw wondered, opening his eyes again.
"You're not exactly alive anymore... But yeah." Maria laughed.
"Guuu! Guguu!" Mercury started leaping over the floor happily.
However, they couldn't really celebrate for long...
"GRRRHHHH!"
"ROOAAR!!"
"SHAAAH!"
In mere seconds, they were all surrounded by hundreds of Frost Monsters, with more coming on the way, almost endlessly...
"These damn Frost Monsters..." Claw groaned.
"They keep coming without end?!" Jonathan asked.
"Don't worry about that either, we've got it covered." Maria smiled.
Within the skies, several figures appeared, as they descended around the large forests surrounding the city, one by one they started crushing large blue jewels hidden with magic...
