Chapter 268 - This Is Your End
-----
Annabelle, Kamei, and Vheslia were combining their magic to conjure a large dome-shaped barrier all-around Dhuja's territory, which they used to entrap her and her lackeys in place!
They infused all of their magic, combining Fire, Darkness, and Holy Light to create a Heavenly Fire and Shadow Darkness Barrier, which had more than three different attributes merged, making it incredibly resilient.
When Dhuja hit it with all her speed she felt like she hit a whole mountain, its resilience was almost unparalleled.
The power it had was nothing but outstanding.
Dhuja flew around with her Poisonous Demonic Wings, trying to find a weak area, but it was nowhere to be seen.
She glared at the three "little girls" she saw outside controlling the barrier, who were all smiling back at her…
She felt like a vein in her forehead was about to pop out of anger!
And Frank and Gwendolyn already began to chase her down around!
She was growing desperate, insane, even!
"She's running around like a fly…" said Gwendolyn.
"Well, I am doing this half-casually. I guess I could easily Teleport at her side… But this is better than that. If we do everything the easy way out, you can't enjoy life's struggles, right?" asked Frank.
"Not like it is too much of a struggle to not use Teleport in this situation, you just like to see someone that has made a lot of innocent people suffer run away in desperation…" said Gwendolyn.
"Oh yeah, maybe…" said Frank.
Through these last days, Frank has been talking with many Dead Spirits all around the city, and many of them ended being victims of criminal groups, which were mostly those of Dhuja's organization.
He had encountered over 30 Dead Spirits in the last week that had died out of overdose or beaten to death by her thugs because they didn't have enough money to fuel the addiction to a magic drug that they themselves forced these people to get addicted to by offering them drugs instead of food to people starving I the streets.
They made them addicts and then forced these people to commit crimes for them, running around stealing people's pockets and more, or even taking hostage their family members…
Frank had gone looking for such people after he got to know about such a quantity of poor people in the streets within Seashore. Through these days he had been accepting a lot of new citizens inside his Divine Realm due to this, which had quickly become loyal worshipers after being given shelter, food, and also the ability to grow stronger through the System.
Due to this, Frank had grown rather angered at Dhuja due to the things she was doing, even if she was not doing it directly, she was, after all, the one behind it all.
However, he knew that just by killing her he wouldn't get anything and the damage she and her organization caused to these people wouldn't go away easily.
But Frank was willing to help these people while also taking over the underworld of Westwind.
And what better way to do it than by crushing the Shadow Snakes and their leader in the most humiliating way possible and then taking their place?
The Stargazers were about to acquire a new branch in the underworld soon enough…
And what better spot than the second-largest organization that the Shadow Snakes have?
Gwendolyn knew very well about Frank's thoughts and understood how he felt.
And she, herself, shared a lot of such thoughts as well.
Deciding to please his desires and make Dhuja, the bastard behind all of this suffer a little bit, the two kept chasing her around while throwing attacks at her.
Vulcanus, Gwendolyn's blade flew through the airs while being coated in red flames, chasing after Dhuja, and always almost slicing her in half if it wasn't because she somehow managed to evade or block by a pinch.
And Frank kept firing long-ranged attacks of all types of elements, making Dhuja despair even more as she saw his talent as boundless… it was as if he had a million Mana Cores inside his body or something, he was able to do too many outstanding things.
Dhuja was suddenly thrown into a corner by Gwendolyn and Frank, as she unleashed a storm of wind, a shower of ice spears, and constant projectiles made of deadly poison.
However, most of these attacks were easily evaded or counterattacked by Gwendolyn and Frank's barriers or their own attacks, making Dhuja grow more despair… and more despair.
Flash!
Suddenly, Frank finally reached her as he extended his large Dracolich claws, coating them in purple and black flames and then wrapping them on his own grotesque soul, unleashing a barrage of slashing attacks using his monstrous claws!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
Dhuja gnashed her teeth as her barrier was barely resisting the attacks, however, it quickly cracked a few seconds after, and Frank's claws hit her crystalized poison armor, which was shattered into pieces!
CRASH!
"Unnghhh…! Youuu! Poison Downpour!" roared Dhuja, unleashing another spell which she had inscribed a magic circle beforehand over an artifact, as an immense quantity of slimy, purple-colored poisonous liquid came out of a magic circle in front of her!
SPLASH!
Frank wasn't even thrown away by it, but the force of the poison made his attacks miss in time for Dhuja to fly away from him in time!
…Only for Gwendolyn to emerge at her side.
"I suppose it should be time to wrap things up!" she said, raising her blazing blade as she unleashed a series of masterful slashing attacks, showcasing the great sword technique ability she had been working on for a while!
Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash!
With explosions of flames at every single slash, Gwendolyn broke through Dhuja's defenses with ease, breaking her poison barriers and burning her flesh!
"Nnnnggggaaaaaagghh…!"
Dhuja screamed in agony as the slashing flames sliced through her flesh and burned her alive, Gwendolyn mercilessly slashed her arms off so she couldn't use the annoying ice and wind magic anymore, and then tried to slice her head off!
"Nnnnnggguuuoooohhhh…!"
Dhuja, however, went completely insane in anger and frustration, alongside searing and agonizing pain, as she roared like a monster and unleashed another downpour of poison, managing to block Gwendolyn's attack and then flying away into the ground, falling halfway through as she was gasping for air.
"Hahh… Nnngh…! No… It can't end like this… It can't end like thissssss…!" she groaned, as she glared at the two figures that descended at her side.
"Dhuja, don't worry about dying, we will be talking for a while even after your death," said Frank.
"W-What…?! What are you… even talking about!?" cried Dhuja, as she unleashed a barrage of spear-shaped poison projectiles towards Frank, which he blocked by a wave of his bare claws.
Slaaaash!
"A-Ahh…"
Dhuja was left speechless… she was really going to die.
Everything was going to end today.
Everything she fought for, everything she worked so hard for…
"But I… worked so hard for everything…" she groaned.
"Honestly, I don't give a damn how hard you worked for anything…" sighed Frank, as he summoned Gram and moved it towards Dhuja's chest.
"W-Wait…! No…!"
"Don't worry, you will be right back," he sighed again, as he moved the demonic blade's tip over Dhuja's chest, piercing her flesh and breaking apart her bones, reaching her heart and mana core, and crushing them!
CRASH!
"NNNGGGRRYAAAAAHHHH…!"
Dhuja was engulfed in eternal darkness, as the darkness burn through her body and almost devoured it entirely in an instant…
Frank felt a slight rush of EXP after that.
