Novel Full Chapter 553 - Trapped!
-----
Miranda jumped out of Drake's main head with a domineering presence, despite merely resembling a young human girl, her very presence exuded a power way beyond that of a normal human girl at all, shew as completely in another level, in fact! By merely looking at her, Black and the Dark Shadow Sect Master felt a sudden dreadful feeling!
This wasn't because Miranda had suddenly grown super strong or something, after all her growth was tied to Benladann. As Benladann had recently drank some cultivation potions of Rank 4 and increased her Rank, the power of Miranda also increased, and she even gained new abilities, some of them allowed her to wield the Chaos Attribute that Benladann had innately awakened after Drake unknowingly gave to her a Dragon Mark of Chaos.
This Dragon Mark had awakened the inner potential of an element to anyone that had them, and they were like the "Blessing" or "Divine Protection" that Drake gave to anyone that grew closer to him and became his family or allies. This Dragon Mark power was acquired when he gained the Divine Protection of Fafnir, and it had given his allies the power to awaken a new element or strengthen their original element.
Benladann's soul by itself already had Chaos within itself, but after she acquired the Dragon Mark of Chaos, her power within her soul finally awakened into usable power, and after she was visited by a mysterious entity while sleeping and was granted its help, even if small, she was given the ability to control this Chaos and made it into a proper Chaos Attribute Magic Ability.
Now, after progressing and growing strong enough, her Mold Magic Mana Core had grown stronger, which also meant that Miranda, who was tied to it, grew stronger as well! The connection between the Mana Core and the Soul continued to grow bigger, helping Miranda gain power from Benladann's soul too, which was, at the end of the day, also her own soul, as they were both sides of the same coin, in some sort of way.
In fact, as she slept, Benladann's consciousness was residing within Miranda's mind, allowing her to see through Miranda's crimson-red eyes at the enemy in front of them. She also channeled the power of Chaos within her main body into this "avatar" that was Miranda's body.
The dreadful feeling of chaos and miasma leaking out of this girl made Black and the Dark Shadow Sect Master realize that her true potential seemed outstandingly incredible! With this power… couldn't she quite possibly reach completely new levels of power?
Even more, the element that the various colors had been trying to look for this entire time… the element that encompassed the barrier atop the world that wouldn't let their main goal be fulfilled no matter how much they worked so hard for…
Chaos.
The Chaos that had tormented the world in the past, the Chaos that brought the Miasma to the world, the Chaos that brought the monsters to the world…
"This is… the element of Chaos! I can't believe it… how come this little human girl has it?! thousands of years of research, in all my previous lives… and I could never reach farther than some failed attempts… yet this girl possess this transcendental element as if nothing?!" thought Black, as he was shocked by the scene in front of him.
Drake glare down at Black from behind Miranda, as the two slowly approached their targets. There was no point in talking it out with them or something, the pair had come here to just slay the two for good, and that was it.
"You've been trapped in my domain, Black, this is it, there won't be other way around it, fight to the death like a man against us, or perish miserably while supplicating for your life, you have two options." Said Drake.
His domineering words and presence made the ancient immortal's mind grow more and more concerned about what might happen, if he really dies now that he's just a small soul fragment, then everything else might as well be gone forever…
His ambitions, dreams, and aspirations… as long as he could keep on existing, there might be a way for all of them to remain, but as of now, they seemed like they were fragmenting into pieces before his eyes, the Dark Shadow Sect Master that was his own vessel was already frozen in fear, despite being Rank 5, a rank above Drake at that!
But would he even be able to fight against such odds? They couldn't do other thing than try, as there was no other way to do this than struggle to the very end of their lives and fight like men.
Black and Dark Shadow Sect Master unified their wills, combining their power together, well, mostly Black forced the fearful Dark Shadow Sect Master to do it, as the Dark Shadow Sect Master was already giving up, and if it were up to him, he would had already betrayed Black and simply tried his best to be caught as a prisoner for eternity than dying, he was that scummy.
But Black was the one in charge here, using his phantasmal powers, he took over the body of the Dark Shadow Sect Master and then parasitized the Dark Shadow Sect Master's mana core, making the Dark Shadow Sect Master begin to harbor large quantities of his dark and shadow powers.
The Dark Shadow Sect Master began to overflow with this darkness and shadows coming out of his body, glaring down at Drake with no longer fearful look, but one filled with frustration, clearly showing the true emotions of Black through the Dark Shadow Sect Master's face.
"You're such a nuisance… you've been trying to mess with me all this time and now, you dare look down on me as if I were a mere steppingstone to you?! I won't give up… I am not a glorious immortal for nothing… I will fight to the end…!" roared Black. He was clearly desperate, trying to fill himself with courage.
