Chapter 1200: Intense Battle!
Chapter 1200: Intense Battle!
The Nightmare Demon kept shapeshifting, now gaining werewolf and werebear-like features and an augmentation of her physical strength. Her blows easily pierced through my barrier of shadows, shattering it.
"GRAARRR!"
Each of her attacks released a powerful shockwave of pure concentrated Nightmare Energy, enough to split the entire manor apart. The shockwaves, if let free, would tear to shreds Sofia, Alma, and Emily with ease.
Using my Shadows, I generated a wide domain, absorbing the shockwaves while I saw Partner and Jonathan protecting the girls.
"Maria, I'll protect the girls! Please take care of that thing!"
Jonathan conjured large shields made of light, it seemed his powers had evolved in new ways in this world, through the power of a Dream Heart.
"Sure!"
"Where are you looking at?!"
The Nightmare Demon roared furiously, her little girl face distorting as countless red eyes grew over it, and then the fur of a wolf and a bear, and its jaws.
"RAAARRR!"
With a furious roar, her giant claws slashed through my school clothes, tearing them apart, she was even managing to tear through my dress, Hecate!
Hecate, however, had already enough with being turned into a schoolgirl uniform, and quickly attacked back, giant fists made of threads hit her back.
However, despite all of that, Hecate was barely dealing even a hint of damage against the Nightmare Demon, this girl was tough as hell.
"Heh!"
I couldn't help but smile, honestly.
Without a doubt, this Nightmare Demon was L Rank!Nôv(el)B\\jnn
I looked at her eyes, as she swung her claws against me again, releasing giant slicing waves of Nightmare, destroying the manor's ceiling, and sending the two of us flying into the Nightmare Realm's void.
BOOOM!
As she approached me, however, I glared into her black eyes, approaching my entire body towards her, and then grabbing her giant, clawed arms.
"Ugh! What the...?! Let go of me!"
"I'm so happy you're resilient! Would you become my sandbag?"
As she started kicking my stomach with tremendous force, which made my body squirm a bit, I quickly decided to act.
Even though we were in a world ruled by different laws, the powers we developed, and which the Tower recognized, could be used.
[Divine Spectral Asura's Endless Limbs: Lv9]!
And...
{Heavenly Nightmare Demon Venerable Abyssal Ghost Asura Battle Arts}: [Netherworld's Abyssal Palm of Ten Thousand Deaths]!
I swung down my fist, as hundreds of more phantasmal fists followed behind, quickly shaping into gigantic palms of shadows and nether energy, impacting her entire body hundreds of times at once.
BAAM! BAAM! BAAM! BAAM! BAAM!
"Uuuaagggh!"
The Nightmare Demon screamed in agony as her two arms were torn apart and then eaten by my shadows, shaped into countless jaws eating it all apart.
At the same time, my attacks continued hitting her body, several holes appearing through her every time I hit her, although they also tried to heal back rather quickly.
"GRRRHHH...! YOU'RE STRONG! LET ME SHOW YOU THE POWER OF A TRUE NIGHTMARE DEMON TOO!"
While roaring at me, she smiled, the Nightmare Void around us shook, suddenly gathering tremendous quantities of Nightmare Essence around her body.
"This is the technique I've learned after 124 loops!" she laughed. "I learned to control Nightmare Realms themselves! And you know? They're an endless source of Nightmare Essence! Hahaha! HAHAHAHA!"
Then, as the energy gathered around her, resembling a storm of darkness, she released it all against me at once.
"{Endless Nightmare}!"
It all gathered into a single beam, reaching me within a split second, nightmares engulfed my body completely, as everything I saw were visions of the lives I've gone through.
The torture I went through before becoming a ghost, the bullying and loneliness I felt in school in my previous life. All the things that went wrong and that could have gone wrong, they all materialized.
They tried eating away at my resolve, my will, my soul, and my mind.
All while my real body was rapidly being disintegrated by the endless wave of Nightmare Void, an element I had never seen before.
It wasn't either the combination of Nightmare or Void Elemental Mana, no this was its own unique energy from this world.
And it was terrifying strong.
Yet...
RUMBLE!
A radiant golden light surged from my body, piercing through all nightmares, the horrors I saw, the agony I went through, everything dissipated, being quickly destroyed.
"Huh?! What!"
The Nightmare Demon gasped as she saw my body reappear within the endless Nightmares which were distorting around me, my body was regenerated instantly.
"{Enlightened Stance: Brilliance of Yang}"
My body and my soul reached a calm, tranquil state. Despite how I was forced to revive such agonizing memories, I quickly came back to normal.
The power of Yang, its radiance and light, illuminated my path, as my Divinity of Yin and Yang continued resonating within me, constantly rotating against one another.
But I wasn't done...
"{Yin and Yang Rotation Harmony Aura}!"
FLUOSH!
The power of these two energies surged from my body as an Aura materialized, rapidly
growing stronger and stronger over time.
My entire body was encompassed by pure light and also darkness.
"Now..."
I glared at the Nightmare Demon.
"Come at me."
"TCH!"
She clicked her tongue, quickly growing several eyes through her body, as she suddenly grew a
large pair of black feathered wings.
"{Nightmare Eyes}!"
Beams of nightmare essence rushed down towards me, enough to cause similar hallucinations and also combine it with destructive power like the Endless Nightmare Spell.
Yet, they were more compact, smaller attacks, but once many accumulated, they could
certainly devastate anybody.
Except me.
"{Heavenly Nightmare Demon Venerable Abyssal Ghost Asura Battle Arts}: [Fallen Angel's Radiant
Palms of Black Light]"
My entire aura and body transformed, resembling a giant black and golden angel, which swung their giant palms against her attacks.
Each Nightmare Eye exploded into pieces as it was hit, explosions of radiant yang energy erupting, burning her entire body.
Over time, she was unable to resist the blows coming from every angle, left, right, above,
below, behind, and the front.
Until finally, she broke down into pieces.
"Uuaarrggh!"
BOOOMMM!!!
I rushed down, as she fell over a large wooden platform that detached itself from the manor,
well, whatever was left of her.
Her head.
"Ugh...! Y-You didn't kill me?!"
"Of course not! I said I would need your help, right?"
"Hahaha..."
However, she laughed.
"Fool! While you were fighting me, did you think your friends would be safe?!"
