Chapter 1053 Maria's Brother

1053 Maria's Brother

-----

A gigantic gate stood before us; every single resistance was suppressed. All the Vampires and other Monsters Hendrick employed to stop us were all slain. And across the gate, I could sense the present of my brother, Hendrick, and at least fifty more people.

Hendrick wasn't alone for sure. The bastard was holding all these people hostage. I don't know how, but they were there, with him! And I could simply not let him have them. Whatever tricks he'll use, they won't be effective.

"Hendrick, give me back my brother!"

Concentrating all my strength, I slammed the door open. An explosion of chaos, void, and nether essence destroyed the gates completely, black smoke spreading everywhere. Beyond the door, there was a huge hall, the hall where the Dungeon Boss was located.

"Y-You're finally here, I see..." I heard the voice of a young man, a rather snarky one, but that also sounded surrounded, cornered. "It seems things have escalated to a level I can't handle anymore. So you've forced my hand, Maria." Cheêck out latest novels at novelhall.com

His silhouette appeared amidst the smoke, his red eyes, his tall figure, and the fox mask he wore. He had long silvery-white hair, sharp red eyes, and as he took out that mask, it revealed his youthful and handsome face. He was wearing red armor over his body, and holding a strange, black sword.

"Hendrick, right?" I asked him.

"Yes, the very same-"

"Die."

I waved my hand, a small sphere of void appeared in front of him. His eyes widened; his aura erupted from his body. Within a split second, he barely managed to evade the incoming attack, moving towards his left, although his body still took damage.

Half of his body had disappeared, blood and innards splattering over the floor coming from the huge hole left behind. Even half his head was destroyed. Yet within mere seconds, he started regenerating.

"Oi, oi, you can't just attack me when I haven't even explained you the situation in which you are right now, MARIA!" He roared back at me, his sword swinging towards me. "Don't get cocky because you have evolved into an SSS Rank or something!"

SLAAASH!

A wave of chaotic and darkness energies reached me, as I noticed something within it. I would have ignored that attack normally, but I felt a powerful, piercing essence from within. I quickly tried toe vade it by becoming incorporeal, but it didn't work.

The attack not only sliced through my arms, as black blood came out of my wounds, but an explosion of burning white flames covered my entire body. The pain I felt was similar to what someone that was being melted by acid would feel.

"Argh! W-What the...?!"

"Just as I thought. This sword is certainly effective!" He laughed out loud. "This is the God Slayer. An ancient Sword Relic inherited by our Ancestors, given to us from our Ancient Family back in Umbralheim! A special weapon that deals immense damage against Gods, or those close to become one."

"What kind of bullshit is that?" I asked in utter disbelief. "Our of nowhere a nobody like you gets a sword like that? This is fucking wonderful."

"Hahahah! Are you despairing now, Maria?!" He laughed. "Well, let me tell you that the show has yet to end!"

As the darkness of the room was illuminated by several lights. A gigantic thing emerged from the background. Encompassing over a hundred meters of pure flesh and limbs, a monstrosity surged, made of over fifty people fused together into an abomination of flesh and limbs.

Their faces were all mixed together, their bodies agonizingly twisting with one another. Their screams of help echoed, the creature started moving, its four gigantic limbs splattering the floor with blood and innards.

"GRAAAHHH!!!"

And I saw the heads of dozens of children spread through that thing. My eyes widened for a few seconds, I felt paralyzed when I saw the children screaming, the horror they were feeling, the agony.

And my brother.

He was there.

His face, I recognized it.

Screaming, crying blood from his twisted eyes, fused into the faces of many more.

Constantly vomiting a green goo.

Yeah, it's my fault he's like this.

But...

BUT!

He's not dead, right?!

A-As long as he's still alive, just like with Fabian and his friends.

I'LL HEAL HIM!

But first.

FIRST!

I have to kill...

KILL!

KILL THAT BASTARD!

KILL!

KILL!

KILL!

KILL!

I'M GOING TO FUCKING TEAR HIM TO SHREDS!

I waved my hand as I disappeared from there, the flames covering Lucifer instantly disappeared as gentle mantle of void covered him for a second. His heads regrew as I healed him.

"I'm going to kill you."

I appeared in front of Hendrick with nothing else but bloodlust on my face. My forms lowly started to transform rapidly, as I gained the appearance of a gigantic half-jackal divine beast.

"Huh?!"

His eyes widened as he saw me transform.

"Your fucking sword doesn't intimidate me, dipshit!"

I slammed my giant dog foot towards him, crushing his entire body into the ground.

His barriers shattered rapidly, his entire body was crushed and twisted over the floor.

His bones exploded out of his body, as nether and chaos spread everywhere.

Yet the bastard was not dead yet.

Tendrils emerged from his destroyed body, giant fleshy arms, tentacles, jaws and eyes, constantly regrowing him anew.

"To think you would force me to transform so quickly! You're too strong! I MUST kill you right now, before you become too much of a problem for our family!"

"You? Kill me? You're such a delusional piece of shit."

Within a blink of an eye, I appeared above his monstrous form, summoning ten Void Stars above his head. He responded by grabbing his sword and imbuing it with his powers, a gigantic wave of black and white flames clashing against my magic.
