NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 73: Against Judgement!
-----
Argentia immediately flew towards Judgement the moment Chris alerted him that he was kicked by Paul a second earlier! The titanic golden dragon opened his jaws, greeting the gigantic abyssal serpent with a double breath attack before he could even recover his health!
“RAAAAH! GOTCHA, BASTARD!”
“Ngh?!”
BOOOM! BOOOM!
The two breath attacks—beams of golden, glistening moonlight engulfed Judgement in an inferno of sparkling flames, consuming his Vengeful Flames through the power of Heavenly Moonlight.
“Nnggaaaggghh!”
As Judgement screamed in agony while being consumed by such flames, his eyes opened widely, and he gritted his sharp teeth! He immediately spun his entire body even as he suffered in agony, attacking Argentia!
CLAAASH!
“Argh!”
Argentia was pushed back with tremendous force, although he wasn’t put down at all, as his golden armor was heavier and tougher than any other metal that Judgement had ever seen, even one of his own armors.
“My tail fucking hurt from just hitting this bastard! Just what are his scales made of?!” the serpent wondered, glaring and noticing a second figure emerging from the skies. “He’s here already?!”
“Where do you think you’re going?!”
Paul roared as he pushed down his legs and unleashed a mighty martial art technique against Judgement, kicking his head down with tremendous force, enough to almost shatter a mountain.
“{Blood Dragon Arts}: {Earth Splitting Infernal Claw}”
His legs resembled two enormous draconic claws tearing through the armor of Judgement, crushing him into the ground with enough force to make the entire area tremble!
BAAAM!
Countless spiderweb-shaped tracks spread through the entire earth where Judgement’s head had been dug by the Heavenly Demon’s mighty technique.
RUMBLE!
“Aaarrggh! How… How dare you, filthy vampire?!”
Judgement lost all his reason as he roared; his Vengeful Flames erupted, exploding with all their power at once and covering his entire body with them.
“I’LL CALL UPON THE SOULS OF MY DECEASED BROTHERS AND SISTERS!”
As he growled, the entire area around him began to change as black and purple fog spread out everywhere! Every single corpse of the Neburians began to release a strange phantasmal aura, and then…
FLUOSH!
The souls of the Neburians started flying out of their corpses, reaching Judgement and immediately feeding his flames at an almost instant speed, giving little time for Paul or Argentia and Chris to stop him.
“RAAAHHHH!”
Judgement roared with all his might as his entire body grew to a terrifyingly ridiculous size, even surpassing Argentia at over a hundred meters, made completely out of Vengeful Flames fueled by the burning souls of his comrades.
“That ain’t freaking fair, dude!” Chris complained. “You’re just a mid-boss; why are you acting like you’re the final boss of the game?!”
“RAAAHAHAHAHAHA! THIS IS THE REGRET AND HATRED OF US NEBURIANS! BURN IN HELL, VAMPIRES!”
Judgement didn’t respond to anybody's words as his entire body harnessed tremendous quantities of Arcana and then released it everywhere, aiming to release a shockwave of infernal flames to burn the entire landscape and even Elderbridge!
“That bastard’s trying to burn everything!” Argentia said.
“We can’t let him!” Chris said. “Argentia! Go All-Out!”
Chris imbued all the heavenly light left within him after transforming, powering up Argentia, who began shining even brighter than before.
At the same time, Paul unsheathed his swords, deciding to also go through his Blood Demon Transformation to gain as much power as possible.
“BURN! BURN ALL OF YOUUUU!”
As Judgement was about to release his infernal, all-burning power, they charged against him, unleashing their Auras and expanding them like Domains!
“Argentia, Chris, encase his flames with your Auras!”
By Vlad’s words, Chris and Argentia immediately followed what he did.
FLUOSH!
Darkness and Blood and Light and Moonlight encompassed Judgement’s flames like a dome-like barrier, keeping the flames within him.
“GUUGH?! AARGH!”
As Judgement screamed, trying to release all the flames he created, they continued compressing his entire body through the Aura Barriers; the flames, with nowhere to explode, began to burn him back.
Although Judgement was immune to his own fire, the enormous pressure began to hurt him constantly, beginning to tear through his own flesh and bones.
“GRUUAAARRGGH!”
BOOOM!
However, before he could die from the sheer pressure, the flames pierced through the Aura Barriers and shattered them, releasing an explosion of flames into the skies instead.
“BASTARDS!”
Judgement roared, attacking Vlad and Argentia at the same time, swinging his claws and creating hundreds more with his Vengeful Flame Body.
However, Vlad wasn’t going to waste all the natural energies and powers surrounding him, quickly applying Geomancy with his Martial Arts and then Swordsmanship.
Combining everything together!
“Full Synchronization!”
His mind almost completely merged with the character Vlad, as Paul and the Vampire Prince completely became one. Sensory synchronization reached a staggering 100% as Paul could move the avatar and do as he please with its powers to an even more ridiculous level.
FLUOSH!
As the massive ten-meter-big blazing claws of Judgement reached him and Argentia, he quickly gathered the Holy Moonlight of Argentia’s Aura, fusing it into his hands.
“What’s Paul doing?!”
Chris gasped as he noticed that Paul was combining the elements of Argentia and then…
FLASH!
The Vengeful Flames of Judgement!
“I’ll show you that I am not just a mere vampire, you fuck.”
Paul was furious, harnessing these elements and controlling them through Geomancy, before applying them to three Blazing Doppelgangers and then merging them further together…
With his magic sword!
RUMBLE!
Until out of nowhere, a massive sword of golden and purple flames materialized, growing up to thirty meters of height, completely made of swirling, opposite elements.
“{Great Geomancy}: {Holy Vengeful Flame Sword}”
“Hmmm?!”
Judgement glared in disbelief as the massive sword came rushing down against him, slashing through his massive blazing claws one after another and overpowering him.
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
“W-What…?!”
Each slash released a huge wave of holy moonlight and vengeful flames, destroying and shattering the landscape, breaking it apart even further! Huge boulders flew everywhere.
“{Golden Moonlight Spear Tail}!”
Meanwhile, Argentia harnessed his powers into his tails, as they suddenly merged together into a gigantic spiraling spear that flew towards Judgement, piercing through his body constantly like a titanic, golden spear would!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
“Uuarrghhhh!”
Judgement’s scream echoed through the burned wasteland as his entire body gained several large, bleeding holes. The gigantic “body” was simply flames placed around his real body; his serpentine body remained as vulnerable as before.
“I WON’T…! DIE WITHOUT BURNING YOU AND THAT ENTIRE CITY TO CINDERS!”
However, resiliently, Judgement stood back up and charged against Argentia, pushing him into the ground and beginning to unleash a barrage of punches made out of titanic blazing fists.
Argentia’s armor began to rapidly gain cracks after just a couple seconds; the onslaught of rapid and explosive blows was simply insane.
“Don’t think you’re… invincible below all that fire!”
Argentia tanked the blows as he used his tails to wrap around Judgment’s real body, pulling him out of the sea of flames he controlled. Judgement tried to resist, controlling the flames to create a vortex that would pull him back inside of its endless inferno, his protective layer.
However…
“{Dual Blazing Blade Arts}”
FLUOSH!
Vlad’s sword was divided into two smaller swords, which he held on each of his hands as he jumped into the skies with a single step, reaching right above Judgement.
“{Dual Style: Severing Of Heaven And Earth}”
And then he spun in midair, rapidly descending and creating a massive spiraling tornado of holy moonlight and vengeful flames.
The opposite elements, constantly clashing against one another, created a chaotic substance that generated tremendous damage.
Until…
BOOOM!
“Uuaaaggghhh!”
Judgement saw his flames explode as Vlad’s dual sword attack reached him and completely split apart his flames from protecting him at all!
“N-NOOO!”
As he was dragged out and pushed into the ground, he rapidly attempted to harness more flames to fight back, only for Argentia’s master to fire his arrows.
“I’ve been preparing this one just for you!”
With just a few seconds before his transformation was to end, Chris harnessed the heavenly powers of the Heavenly Emperor into a single, spear-like arrow.
“{Heavenly Spear Arrow}”
FLASH!
Like a glistening and golden thunderbolt, the spear reached Judgement within a split second, piercing through his body and slicing through half of it before exploding.
BOOOM!
“Aaarrgghh!”
Judgement screamed in agony as he saw his body being split into two halves. His suffering and screams suddenly awakened his powers even further as flames surged endlessly from him!
FLUOSH!
“{Vengeful Flame Sacrifice}!!!”
His blood turned into endless Vengeful Flames, and even his second half was completely consumed by his flames, making it stronger.
“I’ll kill you both before I die!”
He rushed towards Argentia, resembling a massive serpentine dragon made of vengeful flames, opening his titanic jaws to swallow the dragon whole.
“You’re the only one dying today!”
Argentia suddenly broke open the armor on his chest, revealing a massive golden jewel. Charged with all the leftover Arcana he had; he released all his power at once.
“{Golden Moonlight Chest Cannon}!”
TRUUUM!
The cannon of golden light reached Judgement, piercing through his entire body and then blowing him away, his flesh and bones beginning to disintegrate!
“UUUAARRGGH!”
Yet even now, the vengeful monster has yet to die! His claws surging endlessly as he continued sacrificing every inch of flesh and bones he lost as he died.
Hundreds of massive tentacles made of vengeful flames reached Chris and Argentia, about to burn them to cinders!
“Seriously, the developers of this game really want us dead, huh?”
However, Vlad appeared above them, rushing down with his two swords, as he sacrificed them, throwing them at Judgement with all his strength.
The two swords combined into a mass of chaotic energies constantly clashing against one another, hitting Judgement’s head and then splitting his head and brain apart.
“G-Gaaarrggh?!”
The serpent could only give a single groan of pain before Argentia’s Chest Cannon consumed the rest of his body, turning him into ashes.
BOOOOMM!!!
Whatever Neburians remained alive saw in horror as the last of the three Raid Bosses died; seeing their chances of winning plummeting to the ground, they immediately turned on their tails and began to run away.
“Don’t let them run away!”
However, LadyQueenie and the other Players led a witch hunt, catching any Neburians that tried to escape and killing them for more Raid Points.
“We finally did it!” said Chris. “Ugh, I’m dead…”
POOF!
The moment his transformation ended, Argentia’s temporary evolution began to weaken; it seemed that in a few more minutes he would also return to normal.
“Hahhh… I’m exhausted as well, priestess.”
Argentia rested over the floor while Chris was unable to move, sitting over his chest.
“Hey Paul! Come here and help me move! Paul?”
As Chris called for Paul, he saw him floating above the skies, the powers of his past life as the Heavenly Demon swirling around his body like two coiling dragons of black and red color.
"Yeah, he’s gone, but tomorrow we’ll get raided by those bastards again… Dammit!”
“P-Paul?”
Chris immediately realized that wasn’t his Paul, or, well, he was acting a bit too aggressively.
“Right, that transformation gives him the personality of the Heavenly Demon? But how can even a game change his personality?”
As Chris pondered just how advanced the technology that made FSO was, he saw Paul descend towards him and Argentia.
“In this form I have limitless Ki, so I’ll inject it into you and Argentia; let’s destroy that entire mountain.”
“Wait, what?!”
“Y-You’re serious?!”
“It’s the only way we’ll be able to stop those monsters from coming out… Let’s crush them and leave them right where they came from.”
With a malicious smile, Vlad had a stupendously devilish plan.
Chris and Argentia didn’t have much to say in the matter.
Although they found it a bit too much, it wasn’t a bad idea.
So, after being infused with tremendous amounts of new energy by Vlad, the trio rushed into the mountain and…
BAAAM! BAAAM! BAAAM!
With their strongest attacks possible, they made the hole where the Neburians came from collapse, and then the entire mountain interior collapsed as well.
The tremendous weight made the whole thing come down, as the underground where the Neburians were, an ancient set of ruins, suddenly started falling apart and being buried by countless boulders.
RUMBLE!
The King of the Neburians, a huge man covered in black armor, glared into the ceiling as he screamed, hundreds of massive boulders clashing over his entire throne room.
“What the hell is going on?! AAACCK!”
BOOOM!
