<h4>Chapter 554: All-Consuming Ice</h4>


    -----


    ck knew that there wasn''t anything else he could do other than fight, he was cornered, and Drake wasn''t going to y around with him, he had a grudge against him, and he hade to do everything he could to kill him.


    The jewel within his chest began to gather thest bits of negative energy, making it overflow all around his vessel, exploding into a mass of pure darkness that began to cover the vessel''s body.


    This darkness then suddenly materialized, turning into a jet-ck armor, tightly covering the man''s body. This was a basic technique for defense, as the phantom of ck had been cornered and he didn''t had any other alternative.


    "An armor… how original…" sighed Drake.


    FLAAASH!


    With just a thought, Drake''s magic was unleashed, using his eight heads at the same time to multi-task and conjure even more powerful andplex magic at the same time, a downpour of ck ice began to fall over ck!


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    The enormous icicle spears reached ck in an instant, as they shed over the floor and began to spread a ck ice, which exuded a deadly ck smoke as they hit the ground, spreading a phantasmal and deathly aura that seemed to consume the life of anyone that touched it!


    ck quickly began to fly away, using strong impulses of darkness to circle around Drake and then pointing at him the enormous dragon with his ws, two enormous des made of darkness materialized, which were then covered by red-colored auras, and infused with ck phantom.


    FLASH! FLASH!


    The two des then flew towards Drake in an instant with incredible speed, reaching up to him and piercing through his enormous armor made of scales, and then detonating into deadly and thundering explosions.


    BOOOOMM!!!


    The darkness that exploded within the two des pierced through Drake''s flesh, tearing apart arge chunk of his body, but this flesh quickly recovered as ck nced at the scene in shock.


    Tendrils of flesh began to coil around one another, and the lost flesh was recovered while the bone also recovered at an increasing speed, every cell lot was easily regenerated through an endless self-division.


    ck was left speechless as he nced at the scene, stopping for a few seconds, which was enough for Miranda to abuse this opening!


    BOOM!


    Suddenly, the ground below ck exploded, forcing him to jump away as arge ck snake coated in chaos and miasma emerged, countless mold tentacles came out of its body, reaching up to ck at increasing speed!


    The powerful tentacles acted like deadly whips, shing over the floor around ck constantly, ultimately reaching him, coiling around him, and coating him in the mold!


    "W-What is this strange substance?!" thought ck, as his entire body was suddenly overed entirely in mold!


    However, it didn''tsted that long, a sh of darkness came out of his chest, as a shockwave of shadows was unleashed from his body, shing against the powerful mold mass trying to devour him, taking away this entire relentless and annoying mass and vaporizing it with sheer magical power!


    BOOOOMMM!!!


    And at the same time, darkness poured out of him and generated dozens of copies of his own body, the real body quickly began to move around the battlefield, flying towards Miranda and targeting her, each clone made of shadows conjured powerful spells, beams of darkness, projectiles in the shape of spears made of shadows, and bullets of obscure energy, shing over her body!


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    Miranda, however, didn''t falter, her vessel''s body continued to tear down as she had already infected it with a lot of mold, enough to make it possible for her to recover the lost flesh with it easily, while protecting herself with a coating veil of chaos.


    She then shaped this chaos as several spikes, which covered her body in an instant, the attacks that reached her spikes were suddenly distorted and dispelled before they could deal any damage. ck realized the amazing potential of Chaos-Attribute, capable of even negating other elements by distorting their very structure!


    …But he didn''t had any time to think things through nor admire the potential of Chaos-attribute, a second after, Drake emerged behind him, his enormous body seemed to move at a speed that shouldn''t belong to such a body.


    Each of his heads opened their mouths and unleashed different breath attacks containing the various elements he could wield, explosions of phantasmal blue mes, ck darkness, soul-damaging nightmares, slicing windstorms, and freezing winter elements fell over ck, a storm of elements and a total disy of the insanity that was fighting a monster such as Drake.


    "S-So many elements! J-Just what… what are you?!" asked ck in utter shock, trying to evade as much as he could, but each breath attack came one after the other, making it a constant pressuring beams of destruction.


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    And then, it felt as if space and time distorted as countless spears made of ice the size of over ten meters each began to emerge literally anywhere where the eye could see, ck waspletely overwhelmed as he tried to defend using his darkness and barriers, but the ice continued to pierce through his body and freeze him, and to boot, beams of chaos continued to fall over him from all sides, massacring his armor even more!


    He tried to run away several times, fight back with his martial techniques merged with magic, and even did countless other things, but everything failed against this overwhelming and constant power, a barrage of endless magic attacks.


    Ice, ice anywhere the eye could see, the only thing he could see was ice.


    Consuming him constantly, the ice became the grave of his aspirations, of his dreams, of everything he could had ever been, and of everything he once was.


    His eyes distorted as he felt the embracing coldness of ice epass his entire being, and then, enormous jaws devoured him, tearing his vessel apart, and crushing his soul, shattering it into pieces, melting it into primordial energies, and killing him, once and for all.


    His consciousness faded away, as hisst thoughts were simple and unexpectedly, they came along with admiration towards his foe.


    "I-Incredible… I''ve been… Completely overwhelmed…"


    TRUUMMM…!


    His consciousness finally disappeared, as Drake felt a surge of power reaching his souls and body, although at the end, it resulted not being as much as he originally imagined he would get by eating this being.


    "Hahh… That was certainly a bit satisfying…" he sighed in relief.


    Things were finally done, although they seemingly ended rather fast and abruptly, for a man that was soon to be a father, that was for the best.


    Miranda smiled as she quickly went back to her usual form, the snake she had be was suddenly gone. Its body wasn''t stored anywhere but she had assimted the corpse and now had the power to take on its form at any time she wanted.


    "Well, I think Kuro and Kumo should be done as well, right?" she asked.


    "Yeah… Let''s go back, I want to eat something tastier to change this bad vor in my mouth…" sighed Drake.


    Meanwhile, within her hideout, Red seemingly sensed that what had happened.


    "So ck couldn''t even stand a chance… Just who… who did this?"
