1678 A Battle Of Attrition
.
.
.
By combining the power of Divine Element Embodiment and Purification, my body changed! I suddenly became a beautiful and majestic butterfly whose shell was made of silver, my wings were made of bright light, and I resembled a beautiful piece of jewelry given monster form. Using this Holy Form, I quickly conjured [Heaven's Gate Judgement] right on the Queen's face once more, without trying to be original with the Skills, I had no time to be!
TRUUUUMMMM…!
An enormous Gate emerged, crossing through space and time and bringing forth the Light of Heaven itself upon this unholy bug woman!
FLAAAAASSSSSSHHHH!!!
"Again with that?! Uunngh…! UUUGYAAAAAGGGHHH…!"
The enormous ray of Heavenly Light bathed her body infected with evil cosmic energy and miasmic energy. My transformation into this form through Divine Element Embodiment also helped, enhancing the element I had transformed, doubling if not tripling its total damage dealt!
The Queen tried to resist using her Cosmic Essence, wasting away thousands of Mana in the process, the enormous beam of light exploding over her body, with enough power to break through the ground below her and shatter her surroundings. The barrier of sound was easily destroyed as shockwaves impacted everything around us!
BOOOOOOMMMM!!!!
The explosion took over her body, but the bright light made it impossible for me to really see if it was effective enough this time. The light dissipated and so did the smoke, as we found her, still alive her body was bleeding black blood all over and looked even more burned than before. The Cosmic Stone was okay, glowing furiously with cosmic energy. I checked her stats again…

Is it my idea or her stats had been lowered out of the blue? Her Bonus Stats went down by a few thousands, and her HP and MP were down by half as well, I believe… But even after everything we did the bitch is still kicking. Do we need to do the same thing three more times to take her down?!
"Hahh… You've forced my hand now!"
FLUOOOSSSH!
Her entire body suddenly began to shine brightly, her black exoskeleton suddenly turned purple and blue, as her Cosmic Aura spread through her body rapidly, boosting her. The bonus stats didn't changed, but she probably got some sort of invisible buff.
"RAAAAH!"
FLASH!
Her body suddenly exuded an enormous cosmic light, as she combined several of her spells together with her cosmic power, conjuring [Cosmic Star Shower] all over us!
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
Enormous spheres of light resembling stars emerged out of the blue, falling all over us and exploding constantly, spreading out deadly shockwaves that shook everything within our surroundings!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH!
"D-Damn it!
"Uugh!"
"T-This power…!"
I protected those three using the Humility Divine Authority, which granted me the power to conjure Barriers even for allies, which drains their MP in exchange for shielding them from a certain amount of damage. However, their own magic and auras were fairly powerful as well, these three were no pushovers, being able to withstand things with little buffs from my part.
Nonetheless, things were only growing dire!
"RAAAH!"
The queen began going berserk, catching up to me and beginning to unleash countless piercing blows using her six arms, which she shapeshifted into sharp blades made out of her exoskeleton, which had merged with both miasma and cosmic energy!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLAAAASH!
I was barely tanking her hits using the combination of Skills I could make, the Dao Barriers I created were all breaking down, she was surpassing even Daos!? Well, her power alone was certainly one that could even use Daos, but this was ridiculous!
BAAAAAM!
She quickly pierced through my defenses, reaching my body, and then piercing it with her hands, leaving countless holes all over.
"DIE! [Cosmic Blades]!"
The Queen's Cosmic Aura surged from within her body as several blades made of cosmic energy emerged out of thin air, concentrating the cosmos within itself, or even a small, tiny fragment of it! I tried to fight back, unleashing countless powerful biting attacks, and combining the power of Purification, but her blades pierced through all my blows, slicing through my body countless pieces and then exploding!
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOOMMMM!!!
As I was being bombarded by blows, I smiled back.
"What are you smiling at?!" She asked furiously.
"You've ran out of MP darling…" I giggled, falling into the ground. My shattered and shredded body barely keeping some HP, as I shapeshifted into a mass of flesh and miasmic ooze and quickly devoured my own shredded body, regaining HP and reforming myself slowly, resembling an amorphous black and red slime in front of her.
"W-What kind of being are you!?" She asked. "Unkhh! I can't conjure more magic?!"
"Took you long enough to realize? I already told you! You've ran out of MP! NOW!" I laughed, as Black and White quickly emerged from the ground below, as they camouflaged to not be intercepted by her before and surprise her!
