Chapter 1260 Against Aquarius' Undead Body
—–
Drake and company walked inside the Boss Room and were quickly greeted by an enormous Sea Dragon, Aquarius. His body did not looked bright nor alive like in the Dream Trials, as he looked rotten, gray, and black. All of his scales were gray and black, and his flesh seemed to be falling off his body slowly.
Several areas of his body revealed the bones beneath the flesh and the skin, and his skull could be seen through his face, which had been slashed apart by a deadly attack he received from the Deep One before his death. A red light emerged from the empty eye socket, while his other eye, completely white and lifeless, emitted an aura of phantasmal essence.
“ROOOOOAAAAARRRRRR!!!”
In a mere second, the gigantic sea snake-like divine dragon undead stood up, glaring down at his foes while roaring furiously. His aura continued growing larger and larger, as the same type of Dark Aura Drake and his allies saw in the Sea Kings of the dreams emerged from within his Undead body.
“Everyone, on position!” Drake ordered, as his entire body unleashed an explosion of divine power, transforming from his small Ice Giant form into his gigantic Dragon King Form, matching the over one hundred meters of height that Aquarius had.
TRUUUUUUMMMMM…!
The hall where Aquarius was located was enormously vast, resembling a gigantic ancient and abandoned temple. There was enough space for two giants to fight it off easily, without having to hold back anything.
“Aquarius…” Sapphire sighed, feeling slightly shocked. She was behind Drake’s team, which was composed of Hector, Yuki, and Pekora, all three of them were wearing Spiritual Armor and had several enchantments to boost their Light Elements too. They all bravely prepared to confront the giant.
“Don’t let his appearance cloud your judgement, Sapphire.” Benladann said to Sapphire. “I know its painful, I know it hurts, but… we have to free him from this cage, from this curse.”
Sapphire felt slightly surprised by the words from Benladann. She quickly realized this young Ice Giant had gone through her fair share of challenges, struggles, and even many traumas. Her eyes were filled with empathy.
“Y-You’re right… Let’s do this, for him.” Sapphire nodded.
“Good, that’s the spirit.” Tisha smiled back at her, imbuing power into her sword.
“We’ll protect you, auntie Sapphire!” Said Benladra, powering up as her Heavenly Aura emerged from her small body.
“Nn! We’ll take care of things.” Kate nodded. Her Aura also exuded a powerful Divinity.
“Coral, I am counting on you!” Rose said, summoning her Familiar as the Sharp Toothed Piranha Queen emerged behind her amidst a sea of Mirages and Illusions.
“Sure.” Coral nodded, his Familiar, a titanic Coral surged, fusing with his body. Drake told him he was going to be a tertiary tank after Benladann, so he had a rather important role.
“Children, if possible stay behind me and attack from afar using magic.” Said Ruby, trying to act more mature.
“Aaaand I’ll stay behind, I guess.” Miranda sighed, crossing her arms.
“RAAAAARRRRRHHH!”
Aquarius didn’t wait any longer, immediately attacking by swinging his gigantic arms with sharp claws, Drake immediately charged forward and tanked both attacks using his Divine Scales, which he fused with Draconic Energy and Spirit Creation to create powerful Spiritual Divine Dragon Scale Shields!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLAAAASH!!!
The shields, which grew out of his own arms, easily intercepted the furious Aquarius’ attacks, although most of the scales ended shattering, but more kept regrowing thanks to Drake’s amazing self-regeneration ability thanks to his Unique Skill: Immortal Body!
“Hit me all you want, big guy! You can’t kill me with that.” Drake smiled, as Skadi and Uller appeared around him, alongside all of his spirits. The Trident, Ariel, also wanted to fight and confront her creator in his current form. “All of you, attack!”
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
Skadi, Ariel, and Uller flew towards Aquarius body, after being possessed by the powers of Gabriel, Drake’s Heavenly Light and Technomancy Divine Spirit, the three Living Divine Weapons started overflowing with divine heavenly light, glowing bright gold!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH!!!
With fast paced attacks, the trio of weapons started piercing and grinding through the hard armor of Aquarius, hitting his weak points such as the joins of his legs and arms to make him slower. They were so fast that the sluggish Undead Dragon was incapable of catching them.
“GRAAAARRRRGGH!”
However, it wasn’t as if he was just a sluggish walking corpse. Even after his death, his great magic and divinity remained, now twisted and transformed into something much darker as a Fragment of the Deep One possessed him.
“GRUUAAAAH!”
Aquarius opened his jaws and suddenly unleashed a massive Dragon Breath of Primordial Oceans. However, the oceans were black and acidic, splashing all over Drake’s body!
SPLAAAAASSSHHHH!!!
Barriers and shields easily melted, as Drake realized his body started to melt! This acid was of a level of strength at least within Rank 9 Peak Stage to deal this much damage.
“Fuck!” Drake muttered, quickly transforming into a slime and consuming the acid inside of his body before he were to become a pond of dissolved flesh and bones.
FLUOOOSH!𝒪𝒱𝗅𝐞xt.𝐂𝒪𝚖
He spread out his body into tentacles at the same time, wrapping around Aquarius jaws so he wouldn’t vomit that again.
“You’re not going to spit that shit on me again, bastard!”
“GRRRHHHHH!!!”
Aquarius furiously answered by summoning hundreds of small, black-colored magic circles, which unleashed projectiles made of this acidic water and firing them against everybody!
“YOU THREE, NOW!” Drake roared.
Hector, Yuki, and Pekora were ready, jumping into action. Alone they wouldn’t be able to fight, but all three of them together, if they converged their strength, could deal a lot more damage.
“Let’s do this! [Valkyrie’s Summon]!”
“[Divine White Tiger Beast Spirit Fusion]!”
“[Nature and Life Spirits Domain]!”
FLAAAAAASSSHHH!
All of their magic combined together, as their power converged into a gigantic white tiger, who was suddenly covered by heavenly armor, grew angelic-like wings, and began overflowing with Life, Light, and Nature Divinity!
Ding!
[The Power of the [Spirit Creation] Divine Ability and [Hector], [Pekora], and [Yuki] Spirits and Divine Magic have Summoned a Unique Divine Spirit: [Heavenly White Tiger Divine Monarch]!]
[The [Heavenly White Tiger Divine Monarch] Special Divine Magic: [Heavenly Monarch’s Aura] has taken effect!]

“ROOOOAAARRRR!”
