Chapter 720 An Intense Battle
?
-----
"Hey, Elfriedden, look carefully! This is the fruit of hard work!" Chris said with a prideful smile, which Elfriedden hated the most, yet it also made him shocked for what he was doing.
Elfriedden always had a lower expectation of him, but at the end, Chris seemed to be very strong, and not at all behind any of the Blake's other friends.
His Fire Magic and his Fire Spirits powers had evolved to such an extent that he was able to mostly one-shot C+ Rank monsters with ease back in the Dungeon.
But now, he was going even further beyond...
"[Spirit Fusion]!"
"Koon~!"
FLUOOOOOOSH!
His Nine Tailed Blazing Fox Spirit quickly jumped into his body, as Chris swiftly fused with her entire might. His magician clothing changed, becoming an armor made of flames. He gained nine tails behind his back, and long, fox-like ears on top of his head.
His staff also changed and transformed, absorbing the Nine Tailed Fox's Powers, and resembling a legendary divine relic, overflowing with blazing spiritual energy.
Chris' face gained fox whisker-like marks, and his eyes glowed with fiery golden flames. His entire self-changed, resembling someone much stronger, mature, and cooler.
"Spirit Fusion, the Skill I have yet to attain..." Elfriedden said. "So he had reached this far... Dammit, everybody is already so far... I need to work harder, I need to at least catch up to them!"
"Hey, monkey, I'll be your opponent for a little while." Said Chris. "You three, support me with long-ranged attacks, please."
"Fine..." Elfriedden nodded.
"Hmph, only because that brat of Blake told us to help you." Woo closed his arms pridefully.
"Interesting! Let's see what Chris can do!" Fang as excited, waging his tail.
"FINE BY ME!" Kong laughed, furiously charging towards Chris. "No matter what changes out of you, you're still a PITIFUL HUMAN-"
"[Fire Spirit Magic Arts]: [Nine Tailed Fox Spirit Mythical Flame Dance]"
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
Suddenly, dozens of small fox-shaped flames surged, surrounding Kong, and then exploding one after another around his body. However, that wasn't all, each magical explosion pierced a small part of his magical defenses, even his tough skin and muscles were being fried!
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
"UNGH?! W-What is this magic?! AARRGGHH...!"
Kong continued screaming, trying to catch up to Chris, but he was constantly being overpowered by dancing foxes' flames... which were merely a set-up for something greater.
While he unleashed those flames, Elfriedden used his thread and needle to make Kong trip into the ground constantly, all while Fang and Woo hit his weakened wounded areas.
Eventually, after just half a minute, it was ready.
"RAAAAAH!" Kong grew more frustrated, jumping straight to Chris. "DIEEEE!!!"
"It's already done." Chris nodded. "[Fire Spirit Magic Arts]: [Grand Blazing Fox Infernal Carnival Domain]!"
FLAAAAAAASSSH!
All the flames left behind in the battlefield, and the ones still covering some areas of Kong worked in tandem, connecting together into a huge magic circle. In just a split of a second, a huge domain of flames emerged, as hundreds of tiny foxes made of fire constantly emerged, almost endlessly!
"W-WHAT?!" Kong was left speechless, as he was being attacked by endless bombardments of magic! "H-HOW DID YOU DO THIS...?! AAARRGGHH...!"
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
"This is the fruit of my hard work since I was merely three years of age." Chris sighed. "The power that Blake taught me, and which I've mastered and combined with my own talents ever since then..."
The power to manipulate flames and spirit flames was something Chris always knew and could do, but Blake taught him the power to build magic circles, something that allowed him to create complex magic spells, and something even more advanced, Magic Formations!
By utilizing his own flames as "Nodes" for a Magic Formation, Chris was able to not only attack his foe with everything he had constantly, but later on, surprise them with an elaborated Magic Formation, which he would only be able to conjure using the Magic Circle inside of his soul, a special, amazing tool that allowed him to conjure many spells, not limited by his spirit's basic skills!
"This is the fruit of my hard work, Elfriedden!" Chris laughed. "[Grand Fox Phantom Spirit]! Devour him!"
"GROOOOAARRRRR!"
All the flames suddenly mixed together into a gigantic and monstrous fox phantom spirit, engulfing Kong's entire body, a tremendous explosion spread out flames everywhere, Elfriedden and Blake's friends were left flabbergasted...
BOOOOOOOOOMMMMM...!!!
It was very powerful, but it took a while for him to set it up properly, and the MP Cost was gigantic as well, Chris quickly drank two MP Potions to recover faster, although he felt slightly exhausted...
"D-Did he killed it?!" Elfriedden thought.
However, as the smoke dissipated, the body of Kong was revealed... He was in a terrible state, and probably near death's door, however, the bastard was chewing on a small red crystal, which he swiftly swallowed.
"The power of Lord Satan... Will not... ABANDON ME!!!"
FLUOOOOOOSH!
His hulking body suddenly gained a black armor covering him from even more protection, most of his wounds regenerated instantly, a third eye surged from his forehead, and even another pair of hulking arms!
"ROOOOAAAARRRR!"
The enormous shockwave was so powerful that nobody was also to stop him from transforming. Once he finished, he had completely become something even stronger...
"T-To think the bastard had a trump card..." Chris said.
"ROOOAAARRR!"
Four gigantic gorilla fists reached Chris at once, as he desperately generated walls of flames to defend, but all of them were blown into pieces one after another!
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
"[Spirit Fox's Claws]!" Chris roared, attacking back with several claws made of flames, as Kong's hue fists clashed against them, explosions of flames spread further!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CRAAASH!
"RAAAAH!"
However, Kong was tougher than ever, and seemingly lost his reason even more, roaring like a wild beast. The Demon Lords that served the Archdemon of Wrath were all like this.
"Ungh...! Shit, I'm running out of Mana again?!" Chris quickly realized the transformation was exhausting him even more.
CLAAAAAASSSSH!!!
However, greeting the Demon Lord's four fists, was Elfriedden, who fabricated a large shield made up of frost threads, creating a bounce effect that threw the fists back!
BAAAAAMM...!
"Elfriedden!" Chris said.
"Looks like I'll have to step in... At the very least, we've cornered him enough." Elfriedden sighed. "Let's end this."
