1819 One-Sided Beat Down

-----

The Necrotic Death Lord was filled with phantasmal fury. His weakened body and soul suddenly surged with everything he had. His mission was to slay Kireina, and it was given to him not by just Hel but his Supreme Leader, the one that governed the Necrotic Plane. He simply couldn't fail. Even if he had to sacrifice all his strength he was going to slay her and end her damned life once and for all!

Ding!

[The Supreme Divinity [The Lady Veiled on Death] praises your bravery and asks you to slay Kireina at all costs.]

[She bestows upon you power from the Primordial Entity within the Necrotic Plane, which has decided to intervene through her!]

"Ahhh!"

The Necrotic Death Lord saw those messages whisper into his very mind, as he smiled within his soul, as he lacked lips. His entire soul grew larger and more monstrous, a small fragment, a piece of something, was given to him!

FLAAAASH!

"Oh?"

Kireina who was about to intercept his blows was surprised when he saw him change, his entire appearance evolved, as if he had leveled up several times and reached his next stage! His armor became more monstrous and terrifying, his sword grew even longer, with more decorations, and his skull formerly white colored now turned black, as blue flames covered it entirely.

"FINALLY! I've become a Necrotic Death Overlord…!" Laughed the Skeleton Knight, all of his capabilities had grown tremendously in front of Kireina! "Now…!"

"[Primordial Chaos Starfall]!"

But Kireina was faster. While he celebrated his sudden evolution, dozens of massive spheres of chaos and cosmic essence began falling over him consecutively!

BOOM!

"Nnggh…!"

BOOOM!

"Y-You…!"

BOOOOMMM!!!

"Tch…! [Phantasmal Blade Arts: Endless Death Slashes]!!!"

"[Cosmic Infernal Dragon Breath]!"

As the Necrotic Death Overlord was about to unleash his powerful Phantasmal Blade Arts, Kireina channeled all of Shadrach's powers and combined them with her own Cosmic and Divine Essences, generating his Draconic Soul and materializing it, as Shadrach opened his jaws and unleashed a devastating breath attack!

FLUOOOOOOSSSHHH!

"T-This is…!"

The Necrotic Death Overlord felt overflowed, as he began swinging his blade constantly while unleashing several slashes made of necrotic energy.

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

The cosmic flames easily overpowered them, consuming it all as Kireina had also added the power of her Level 10 [Purification] Skill into the mix, amplifying the destructive power.

"Why my attacks… are not working?!" Muttered the Necrotic Death Overlord, realizing he was using everything he had, even his Cosmic Energy.

Yet… why was his Cosmic Energy so little now that he thought about it? He should had have way more! The fragment he held was small but still.

And then he realized, quite late, that Kireina had been absorbing his powers all this time through the combination of a passive Gluttony Aura combined with her Chaos and Cosmic Auras. HP Drain and MP Drain working together to allow her to even drain Cosmic Energy now that she could make it flow through her body.

"YOUUUUU!"

The furious Necrotic Death Overlord rushed towards Kireina, as the two started clashing in an amazing, divine show of swordsmanship. The swords clashed intensively as sparks of necrotic energy, cosmic essence, and divinity exploded everywhere!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH!

The Necrotic Death Lord's sword unleashed powerful phantasmal flames that devoured Kireina's soul and energy, but Kireina drained it all back from her foe while swinging her sword gracefully and carefreely. From left, right, above and below, several slashing attacks tarted raining down on the skeleton, his movements became duller…

SLASH! SLASH! SLAAASH!

FLASH!

Kireina charged more power into Shadrach, as a smile surged in her lips while she swung him horizontally, an enormous shockwave of cosmic flames erupted…!

"[Draconic Infernal Storm]!"

FLUOOOOSH!

"Unnggh…! [Necrotic Domain]! [Netherworld Flames Cage]!!!" The angered skeleton fought back with his own set of techniques, generating a domain to keep himself buffed while attempting to cage Kireina and her flames with his own set of unique flames.

FLAAASH!

"Oh, interesting." Kireina laughed, her entire body beginning to burn into ashes.

"Hahh…! I've finally caught you! Stop acting cocky, this is the end of you!" Roared the Necrotic Death Overlord.

"Oh? Do you really think so?" Laughed Kireina. "I have yet to attack."

"Huh?!"

The skeleton quickly realized Kireina had been charging her katana technique all this time, until ultimately…!

"[Chirijiraden: Raging Inferno]!"

SLAAAASH!

She swung her blade horizontally, slashing the entire cage of phantasmal flames as a raging inferno of flames erupted everywhere, generating a massive tornado that shaped itself into a roaring dragon!

"ROOOOAAAARRRRR!"

"W-Wha…?! Is there any limit to your damn powers?!"

"Oh? These aren't even my own, it is my buddy Shadrach here!"

Kireina mocked the skeleton, as she directed the flames towards the Necrotic Death Overlord!

"Burn him, Shadrach! [Soul Devouring Infernal Blade: Hellfire Dragon]!!!"

FLUOOOOOSH!

The massive tornado of flames took the shape of the furious Shadrach as he channeled his very soul into it, roaring wrathfully as he engulfed the skeleton completely, giving him no time to escape at all!

"T-This can't be…! I am…! A glorious…! Overlord!!!"

BOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!!!!

The Necrotic Death Overlord struggled, but ultimately was completely swallowed by the attack, his entire body being turned into ashes as the only things left were a tiny blue-colored jewel and his own Necrotic Death Core.

Kireina caught them both, sighing in relief. She had been pushing herself to her limits this entire time and felt exhausted. Overusing the Path Jewels brought great exhaustion to her soul, but now that she had these prizes and some level ups, her stamina and vitality quickly recovered.

Ding!

"Elfina, don't worry, I'll free you from this damn bitch!"

Kireina continued cleaning the Undead Armies coming forward while pushing straight towards where Elfina was!
