    "I-I can''t regenerate my Nightmare Void Beast''s tentacles?!" Asked Dorothea in anger. "What sort of power is she wielding?! To inhibit the regeneration of a being made of nightmares! That scythe she crafted… It can''t be! S-She used Lace''s core as a material, didn''t she?!"


    Dorothea grew furious, only for her anger to rise into mindless wrath as she saw what yne''s friends did once she took down the first of the dozen tentacles.


    Thanks to her specialbination of Nightmare Absorption and Holy Light Spirit Smite, not only the foe she targeted grew weaker, but the attacks and spells generated shockwaves, spreading across the rest of the beast, merged into the Dream World, which shockwaves weakened the other limbs.


    "[Quadruple sh]! [True Red Dragon mes]!"


    Mark descended into battle, his muscr andrge body being covered on an armor of zing wood as his arms grew several timesrger. Although he couldn''tpletely take the same form as his Avatar, Titan, as he still remained mostly into a small, human-like appearance, he could go to the extent of reinforcing his muscles and appear muchrger than originally.


    SLAASH! SLAASH! SLAASH! SLAASH!


    Four zing shes charged with his Mana and Spiritual Energy emerged of his fantastically powerful god-blessed zing knife, which by absorbing his own zing wood and spirits, grew into an evenrger size, resembling a giant zing sword simr to the Berserk de he wielded in Arcadia.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOOM!


    The shes exploded into zing mes, covering the entire tentacle that targeted him. The explosions generated enough force to change the tentacles trajectory, as Mark barely managed to stop them from piercing his chest.


    "GRUOOHH!"


    FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!


    The tentacle quickly opened its eyes firing countless redsers against him. However, Mark resisted therge holes spreading across his body, tanking the hits while constantly regenerating the damage through his Wooden Regeneration and mes of Regeneration, two innate abilities of his physique.


    Nheless, the damage he was umting was too much, regenerating it constantly wouldn''t work for too long before he emptied his energies.


    "[zing Armor]! And… [zing Fortress]!"


    However, he had an ace below his sleeve, of course. His own clothes, enchanted and magically blessed by yne activated its two abilities, as Mark was covered in yet anotheryer of armor made of mes, and then, a huge fortress of fire materialized right around him as he struck down the tentacle, using this defensive technique offensively!


    BOOOOOOMMM!!!


    The mes generated explosively melted the tentacle, turning it into ashes as Mark unleashed a series of shing blows, the tentacle dissipated into ashes in mere instant, but two more came for him!


    CLAAASH! CLAAASH!


    However, the zing Fortress Ability was still active, the two weakened tentacles only ended hitting a solid wall of fire, burning, and weakening even more. Mark quickly attacked the two, without wasting any time.


    "Thanks for weakening them, yne!" Rita smiled, quickly shing against another tentacle by jumping off Falco.


    Her entire body was covered by the Abyssal Veil of the Night and her Shadow Tentacles, two of the innate Abilities within her enchanted clothing!


    CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!


    The tentacle attacked her furiously, but her veil and her own tentacles intercepted the blows and lowered the damage, as Rita sneakily traveled across the many shadows, her gun loading with her Mana.


    "[Abyssal Dragon Queen''s Poisonous Breath]!"


    Her magic and spells converged together in that moment, as she unleashed a powerful breath attacking from a dragon-shaped shadow aura of malice, emerging out of her own body.


    BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!


    The breath attacks were strong enough to hold back the two tentacles that decided to fight her, theirser beams easily evaded as she moved across their bodies through her Shadow Sneak Spell.


    "Now!"<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    She leaped into midair, both tentacles noticed her and instantly flew towards her, aiming to pierce her body with their sharp, spear-like tips.


    However…


    "Get out of my face! [Blue Dragon King''s Bullet Cannon]!"


    Her magic gun quickly shapeshifted, growingrger and resembling a huge, blue-colored cannon, ending with a ferocious dragon-shaped head, from within, a tremendous st of darkness emerged.


    TRUUUUUMMMM…!


    Both tentacles couldn''t take any more damage, crumbling apart at the same time before Rita''s might. She wasn''t going to just let yne take all the spotlight, her magic talent was just as good as her friend!


    Andstly, fighting another two tentacles, Lily unleashed a rain made of crystal meteors, summoning them by channeling all her Mana at once.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    Whenever the crystal meteors hit their targets, they would instantly explode into piercing spears made of crystal and deal extra damage against the tentacles, pushing the abominable nightmarish beast back.


    "[Earth Spirit Body]! [Metallic Skin]! [Ore Absorption]!"


    Channeling several Physique Abilities at once, her body quickly absorbed the Earth Spirits yne had summoned beforehand, which kept spreading with her own terrain as well!


    Alongside that, through Ore Absorption, she absorbed the crystals that shattered from her Crystal Meteor, reinforcing her body and strength even further. Andstly, with Metallic Skin, she gained an extrayer of defensive strength.


    With all of thesebined effects, her body quickly became like that of a golem herself,rge and made of sharp crystals, which she used to gain further strength,pensating for herck of itpared to her friends.


    Imbuing Earth Spirits and Nature Spirits into her pickaxe, it quickly grew several timesrger, resembling a beautiful crystal pickaxe.


    "GRUOOHH!"


    The roar of the Nightmarish Abomination echoed, both of its tentacles, weakened as they were, rushed towards Lily to stop her.


    But that was just what she wanted at the end, as they got in the perfect range of her attack!


    "[Draconic Mother Earth''s Wrath]!"


    BAAAAAAM!


    A powerful strike using her pickaxe pushed both tentacles away. Their entire bodies gaining countless cracks, slowly beginning to fall apart.


    But just when Dorothea was about to heal them…


    "[Cave Drake King''s Earthquake]!"


    Lily went for the overkill, striking both tentacles at once with her powerful Magical weapon, as the roar of the Cave Drake King could be heard echoing across the Nightmare World.


    "ROOOOAARRR!"


    CRAAAAAASSSSH!!!


    Both tentacles were already weakened beforehand, but now, they simply exploded into pieces, leaving nothing behind!
