Chapter 999 Not Even A Decent Warmup!
-----
Maria devoured the void created by Christine not once, but twice, thrice, four times, five times, as many as the Vampiress created, trying to destroy her soul, she simply devoured it! The Vampiress gritted her teeth in utter disbelief. She had fought those with enough defenses capable of resisting the magic power of her eyes, but not unable to completely be immune to the damage it causes.
The truth was, her eye had a certain range of roughly twenty meters, therefore, she couldn't use it when Maria was too far away, and this was also the reason why she activated it repeatedly the moment the ghost woman appeared in front of her.
However, to Maria, her major trump card was nothing but a snack!
"Delicious void. Care to give me more?" Maria laughed, her Void Essence skyrocketed as she gained more and more from absorbing Christine's attacks.
Her arms grew to a titanic size, fusing her Selene's Palm with her Divine Thunder Body and her other Body related skills, amassing it all into a pair of titanic arms made of the darkness of the night itself, encompassed by a sea of phantasmal flames of death.
"[Hades' Fists Of The Underworld]! [Achlys' Venomous Claws]!"
Not just two, but over eight gigantic, titanic arms descended towards Christine, while a dozen claws loaded with venom and lightning clashed against her. The Vampiress armor instantly shattered as she tried to take on the attacks. Escaping was futile, as each time she did, she would be attacked from above, below, left, and right before she could make any other rational thought.
BAAM! BAAM! BAAM! BAAM!
Her entire body started to become distorted, slowly being torn to shreds. Blood and flesh splattering everywhere, and even pieces of her own bones. Her screams of agony reverberated across the entire Shadow Realm. Christine battled back, desperately trying to survive using all her techniques combined as one!
"I won't fall here! I am a Vampire Countess! My power is incomprehensible! How come a mere pathetic undead like you can overwhelm me?! BULLSHIT!!!"
The Vampiress' entire body started growing stranger and distorted, monstrous. The blood from her wounds gathered around her still regenerating self, as she started to transform. Maria followed by transforming as well, greeting Christine's "true form" with her Titaness Form.
"GRAAAH!"
Christine was unrecognizable now, showing her true self, a monstrous and gigantic aberration. It barely looked humanoid, covered on black and red scales, with exposed, pulsating red flesh. Long bat-like wings and tails, and three massive dinosaur-like heads. All coupled with an assortment of black and red eyes spread across her body.
And thanks to all her equipment bonuses, she had at least ten times as more Mana than ever before! In the entire fight, she had barely spent thirty percent of it!
"WHY WON'T YOU DIE?!"
"It'll take more than that to kill me, I already told you! They beheaded me and tried to curse my soul, but here I am!"
As Maria roared, all her powers harnessed together into a titanic claw made of darkness, death, phantom, moonlight, shadows, and void essence, grasping Christine's three heads and then crushing them into pieces.
"You were not even a decent warmup, Christine."
"Stoooop!"
Crack, crack...!
CRAAASH!
Christine's head were blown to pieces, and so her soul, as it was shattered into countless fragments. Maria swiftly devoured them all, feeling a surge of new power. But above all, she ended absorbing a Divine Ember, something that she had never done before.
"Ugh..."
Maria kept her consciousness barely awake, as she fused back with all her fragments lost, regenerating back and beginning to slowly assimilate the power she gained.
"This was worth the risk, definitely..."
