Chapter 968: Kill The Traitor
-----
Elayne was being completely merciless, the amount of anger she felt for having been betrayed by the trio was immense, even more when knowing they intended to not only kill Mercedes, but her daughter Brisingra, the girl that her father let her take care of! The anger and frustration she felt for almost having let the girl die was immense.
"Stop! You damned woman! Enough! Stop you- AGH!"
Elbedo kept trying to fight, but he was incapable to defend against Elayne's endless flurry of attacks. Her giant shield was crushing all his body against the wall, making it unable for him to move properly. His claws were slashing her body as he could, but she was regenerating endlessly with her wooden and plant-based body.
And his flames were of no use either, an armor of divine light reflecting it.
Elayne battered him with attacks, her club crushing his scales and then her sword piercing his body not once, but several times at the same time. The power of Gram's ability allowed the sword to release several slashing blows at once randomly, which triggered more than once thanks to Elayne's very huge Luck Stat.
"STOP! RAAAH!"
Elbedo went insane, trying to destroy Elayne's shield, and somehow managing. His breath attack blowing away her shield after its one million durability finally ran out.
Crack, crack…!
CRASH!
However, what greeted him was Elayne ready to finish him off. She knew that, unlike the other bosses, he didn't have a ridiculous amount of health points.
And right now, it was her opportunity to get the strongest of the trio out of their way!
"Pay for your betrayal with your life! {Divine Execution}!"
SLAAASH!
With a single slash of her Level 5 Sword Art, Elayne cut through the entire body of Elbedo. The dragon gave a loud, fortifying scream of utter, maddening agony. The sword descended incredibly fast and with a single, powerful wave of pure holy light. His darkness was immediately burned, dealing even more damage against a former wielder of light.
"T-This can't be happening…! N-NO…! GRYYYAAGH!"
Somehow, Elbedo kept resisting even when his head and most of his body was split in half, stopping Elayne's sword as she noticed countless tentacles surging from his wounds, and crimson eyes! Demonic, Miasmic, and Nether energies pouring out of his blood constantly.
"I won't die…! I CAN'T DIE! NOT UNTIL… MY LORD IS…!"
"I'm sorry, but this is it, Elbedo!"
Elayne strengthened her resolve as her two weapons suddenly fused together into a giant rainbow sword made of crystalized spiritual power. A portal behind her already summoning Divine Dragon Spirits that were not only helping Mark, Lily, and Rita deal with Hermes and Cecilia, but also helped everyone else take on the Divine Beasts much more easily.
These Divine Dragons quickly merged with her weapon, as Elbedo desperately attempted to stop her. His tentacles growing larger and larger, dozens of them at a time, growing long bone spurs and rushing towards her.
"DIE, PLANTAAA!"
Ding!
[You have activated the Divine Skill: {Celestial Draconic Weapon Creation}! Your two weapons have been used as the base, while the rest of the summoned Divine Dragon Spirits have been fused into them, further materializing into the {Celestial Draconic Spirit Blade}!]
[The {Celestial Draconic Spirit Blade} combines the stats of both weapon bases, plus a +300% boost to all of their stats and ability effects! Additionally, each consecutive blow will release {Draconic Spirit Flame Explosions} that will deal +100% additional damage with each blow, for a maximum of +1000%!]
The enormous sword shone with rainbow flames, as Planta completely focused entirely on her weapon. Gram and her Gaia's All-Purpose-Tool Abilities merging together, transforming and fusing into something new at the same time as she attacked Elbedo.
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Each slash generated explosions of draconic spirit flames, clashing against his spear-like tentacles and completely burning them to ashes. Even after beginning to transform into an Aberration, it wasn't enough to deal with Elayne's ever-growing powers and abilities!
"Just… Who… WHO ARE YOU?!"
Elbedo screamed in horror as his entire body was being cut off and blown up to ashes. He started fearing for everything he had built to crumble down before him!
"I am the one that'll take you down, you traitor! I should have never trusted you nor anybody else! Deep down, I was really hoping it wasn't you guys! But now… I simply can't go easy on you!" Elayne kept attacking.
"Wait…! PLEASE! AARGH…!" Elbedo fell into the floor as his monstrous body kept trying to regenerate back, but Elayne's attacks were faster and stronger. "I have a family…! I have children, please!"
Elayne's eyes widened only for a split second. But she kept attacking anyways. The damage continued accumulating more and more.
"If you truly cared about your family, you wouldn't have betrayed your people and your friends like that." Elayne's eyes shone with bright, golden light. "Your crocodile tears won't convince me, ELBEDO!"
"SHIT! DAMMIT ALL!"
Elbedo's entire body became a massive jaw, attempting to eat Elayne with a single bite.
"I'LL EAT YOU UP, YOU DAMNED FUCKING- Ah!"
However, the moment he was about to reach Elayne, her sword slashed through his body one last time. The abilities of Gram, once more, activating in that moment. The dragon slaying sword by itself was already super effective against Elbedo, who was a dragon.
However, once an Aura of overflowing Divinity and Spiritual Essence surged from the sword's fused state.
It was over.
"{Spiritual Heroic Sword Fusion Aura}!"
Ding!
[You have exchanged 1000 Durability and activated the {Spiritual Heroic Sword Fusion Aura}, increasing all Spirit and Blade Skills Power and Effects by +300%, Boosting All Stats by +30%, alongside allowing the user to summon {Spirit Sword Illusions} which have a high chance of increasing the strikes of the sword against a foe by 5 times for 10 Minutes.]
With a single slash, five Spirit Sword Illusions appeared above Elayne, made of golden and rainbow-colored spiritual essence, and piercing Elbedo on several parts of his body. Each part that was pierced was immediately blown to ashes.
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
"N-No…! W-Wait a second!"
Elbedo's memories of his family passed through his mind, as his entire body was reduced to ashes, barely a single eye left behind, which shed a small tear.
"My family…"
"I'm…"
"Sorry…"
BOOOMMM!!!
