Chapter 1112: Killing A Primordial Sin
Arachne had little time to escape, one moment he was fighting and killing the Nightmare Beasts, and the other the entire Nightmare Realm distorted, beginning to fuse with the dying Sloth into an aberrant creature.
"W-What's happening?!" she cried.
"Arachne! You ungrateful child! This is what you've forced me to do! You simply couldn't live with me, couldn't you?! You had to ruin everything! I'LL KILL YOUUUU!"
Sloth roared furiously, gigantic claws made of nightmares and darkness rushed towards Arachne, grabbing her body, and tearing apart her giant spider legs one after another.
"Aaaaaggh!"
Arachne screamed in agony as she was being tortured by Sloth, so resentful of what was happening to him that he wanted to relieve all his anger against a child.
"I'll tear apart every single one of your legs, you ungrateful little piece of shit!"
"Why?! I am not at fault here! I didn't ask to become your vessel! Why should I be punished?!"
Arachne kept trying to fight back, as she constantly cried tears of pain and frustration. Frustration against her gate, against how she was born, and over the hatred she felt about her situation.
She wanted to live like any normal girl, she wanted to spend time with her new family, and she didn't want to be constantly sleeping every single minute of her life!
Her antenna charged her last remaining energies, firing two beams of chaos against Sloth's face!
BOOOM! BOOOM!
Both explosions pierced through his flesh, leaving two large wounds that were slowly regenerating back to normal.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
However, Sloth was even more pissed off!
"Uuuggghh...! DIE ALREADY!"
With a furious roar full of frustration, Sloth's monstrous appendages shaped into countless spears of darkness, attempting to pierce Arachne's body and destroy her mind and soul once and for all.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
CRASH!
The sound of her armor exploding into countless pieces and the attacks piercing flesh reverberated through the imaginary Nightmare Realm, only for Sloth to quickly realize he had only hurt...
Himself?!
"W-What?!"
Hundreds of giant skeleton arms surged, made completely out of pitch-black bone, slashing, tearing, and punching through Sloth's very existence, each blow became a chain attack that
drained the Sin's very lifeforce!
"[Abyssal Palms of Death]!"
Then, all the attacks fused together into a dozen gigantic palms made of pure darkness, Sloth kept trying to defend or resist, but was unable to do so! His greatest efforts were utterly in vain, his very existence was being destroyed, each palm crushed him like a bug.
"Uuuaaaggh! S-STOP...! STOOOP!"
Sloth kept demanding her to stop, but Maria would not stop, she did not listen, and the only thing she cared for was to end this and kill him!
Vessel? That was no longer a thing for her!
As long as Arachne was safe with her, the soul of the girl would not suffer from Sloth's death
anyways.
"This is your end, Sloth. You should have cooperated instead of fighting back. Bear in mind as you die, that this is the fate your arrogance led you to!"
"[Soul Shattering Spear Hand]!"
As Maria roared, all her fists combined into only a few handfuls of enormous, spiraling spears made of black and white bone, rushing down like drills, and piercing through Sloth one last
time.
"UUUAAAGGHHHHH!"
Sloth gave his last scream of agony before his very existence was completely destroyed, leaving nothing behind but particles of his powers and Sinful Soul.
Maria hastily absorbed everything left behind, finally recovering her Soul completely, and then healing Annabelle's soul, which was left with a hole in her chest after Sloth disappeared.
"This should be enough."
She repaired that hole left behind by fusing her powers with what was left behind of Sloth,
and also his Nightmare Realm, healing the girl's soul completely.
"It should be about time we wake up now... It's finally over, Arachne."
The darkness that encompassed their souls completely disappeared, as both of them opened
their eyes again.
