Chapter 181: Hopeless?
Chapter 181: Hopeless?
-----
Frank stood up over the crater where he was almost dying, his entire body had regenerated, but a burning scarlet flame was taking hold of his entire body.
His eyes were gleaming with wrath, and his power was constantly surging!
However, the price for such power was the consumption of his own soul, as it began to quickly erode!
He had to finish this fast before his soul was to get consumed by the power of Wrath!
The Goblin Emperor glanced at Frank with disbelief, his golden eyes gleaming with doubt of his own power.
"Am I… not enough to defeat him?" he wondered, as he gritted his teeth and the golden and abyssal aura of his body emerged once more, his fists getting covered in such power, as he began to charge a powerful attack towards Frank!
However, Frank raised his head and disappeared.
A second after, his fist emerged right before the Goblin Emperor, blazing with wrathful flames!
BOOM!
The Goblin\'s Emperor\'s face was crushed by Frank\'s fist, as several of his teeth were sent flying, and his nose almost broke!
"Nnngguuhhooooo…?!"
The Goblin Emperor could not believe what had happened!
Frank, who he had thought to be capable of overpowering, suddenly surged with new power, and rushed towards him with all of such power concentrated into his fist, hitting him right into his face!
The Goblin Emperor was thrown into the air, flashing as blood began to fall from his face!
However, there was no time for him to even wait to fall to the ground, just as he had done with Frank, Frank was being as merciless as possible!
Flashing like a red thunder, Frank emerged right above the Goblin Emperor, rushing with scarlet flames, and combining them with his other magic, as if he had become the embodiment of shadows and red flames, he clashed against the Goblin Emperor\'s stomach, crushing it deep with his feet and falling like a spear towards the ground!
"NNNNGGGGAAAAAAHHH…! T-This is… impossibleeeeee…!"
Falling like a blazing spear of scarlet flames, shadows, and phantoms, the Goblin Emperor and Frank crashed over the ground, generating a loud boom!
BOOM!
Frank did not waste any time, as he suddenly conjured Dracolich Transformation only on his hands and over his body, generating an armor of bones and enormous claws, which he pointed towards the Goblin Emperor!
The Goblin Emperor gnashed his teeth as he generated a powerful Abyssal and Heavenly Barrier, trying to resist Frank\'s monstrous and beastly onslaught as much as possible!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
"YOUR TRICKS WON\'T WORK…!" roared Frank, his eyes blazing with pure wrath!
Crack, crack!
"W-What?! He\'s shattering my double barrier, conjured by a Rank 3 Mana Core?!" thought the Goblin Emperor, as he quickly conjured dozens of projectiles shaped as spears and blades made off materialized abyssal darkness and heavenly flames, pointing them at Frank as he made them fly around his barrier and impact his entire body!
"DIE!" roared the Goblin Emperor desperately trying to grasp life as much as he could!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Frank was suddenly showered in dozens of magic projectiles, which all exploded over him!
However, before he could receive greater damage, he combined his Blazing Scarlet Flames generated by the burning of his own soul through the Wrath Skill, his Dracolich Domain, and his Gluttony Skill, which he had not been using due to the side effects of making him even beastly!
"GROOOOWL!"
Suddenly, an aura resembling a monstrous Dracolich dragon made of scarlet flames and phantasmal shadows emerged from his body, exploding into all the surroundings, and consuming the attacks of the Goblin Emperor, shattering his barrier, and letting Frank rush towards him!
"W-What?! You… what kind of magic can eat another magic?!" roared the Goblin Emperor, completely unaware of Frank\'s Second Sin Skill, Gluttony!
Gluttony was the awakened version of Insatiable Appetite merged with the power of his evolution as a Dracolich, and it was a Sin that ate away Frank\'s mind by giving him the power to consume anything!
By infusing it with his Aura, he was able to consume the power of the Goblin Emperor\'s magic, as he rushed towards him while gritting his teeth in anger, Frank was barely managing to keep his own sanity ahold, as his own mind was being eaten by Gluttony!
"GRAAAAAAAAAAH!"
Frank generated countless bones all over him, shaping them as gigantic claws, as he unleashed a constant barrage of lashing attacks, releasing powerful and eroding purple, red, and blue flames from them, generating constant explosions one after another!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The Goblin Emperor could barely handle Frank now, as his power kept rising and rising incessantly as if he were the incarnation of wrath itself!
"This is… impossible! How can you match my power as a Rank 2 Magus?!" roared the Goblin Emperor, resisting the attacks with his magic barriers that were being constantly eaten by Frank Gluttony, shattering them and then approaching more and more towards him!
"I have to… defeat him… soon!" thought Frank, as his mouth could only unleash roars of beast-like wrath!
The Goblin Emperor suddenly unleashed a powerful wave of abyssal darkness and heavenly flames, as he began to charge an enormous amount of mana from within his chest, where his Mana Core was!
"I will go serious then!" he said, his muscles bulging immensely as his eyes flashed with golden and dark light, his size increasing by one meter!
"GRAAR!" roared Frank, rushing towards the Goblin Emperor like a beast and biting his own shoulder, breaking his barriers, and taking a large chunk of his flesh!
"NNGRRR… YOU…!" roared the Goblin Emperor, barely managing to resist the pain as he enhanced his entire body with his powerful Magic Aura! His muscles bulged intensively, as he directed his enormous fists towards Frank\'s body!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
One by one, the Goblin Emperor\'s fist fell over Frank, crushing his entire body as his bones broke apart, and even his limbs were sent flying into the air!
The power of the Goblin Emperor was still incredibly overwhelming!
However, as if Frank were the incarnation of a vicious demon, his body unleashed Spectral Shadow Threads, entangling his lost limbs, and pulling them back into his body, as black flames covered his body and regenerated them, all in a millisecond while he was still being sent into the floor while in midair!
The Goblin Emperor glanced at this abomination unfold in front of his eyes, as Frank\'s eyes flashed eerily, his mouth opened wide, and he leaped in midair towards him like a crazed and gluttonous demonic fiend!
"T-This… what kind of monster is he?!" thought the Goblin Emperor, as Frank\'s bites began to emerge all over his body, he gritted his teeth as he charged a large amount of Aura into his legs, kicking Frank into the air as his last resort!
BOOM!
"UNGAAAHH…!"
Frank vomited a mouthful of blood, as the Goblin Emperor used this window he had to regenerate his wounds, covering his body with heavenly flames, as the wounds began to quickly regenerate!
However!
Frank suddenly unleashed more phantom threads, throwing them towards the floor and then sending himself back to the Goblin Emperor by using their pulling force, falling like a blazing and monstrous meteorite!
"I have to… kill him!" thought Frank, his teeth were gritting so strongly that they were about to shatter! His blazing crimson eyes were even unleashing flames of their own, his entire being was furious, wrathful, and gluttonously hungry!
"GRAAAAAAH!"
Frank roared, reaching the Goblin Emperor once more as the Goblin Emperor could only grit his teeth, conjuring a dozen of weapon-shaped magic projectiles and directing them at Frank, trying his best to kill him before he could get any closer to him!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Frank was showed in explosions of magic, however, he kept descending while unleashing his draconic wrathful and gluttonous aura, his eyes gleaming with malice, reaching the Goblin Emperor, at last, shattering his barriers, and pointing his bony claws towards his chest!
The Goblin Emperor, however, had now prepared a spell, smiling maliciously as he suddenly activated several runes set… on his own body!
"This is as much as you will go!" he said, roaring with anger as he unleashed an enormous blast of heavenly flames and abyssal darkness, a gigantic cannon of magic that blasted Frank to the ceiling!
"Unnngrraaaahhh…!"
BOOM!
Frank hit the ceiling loudly, as the heavenly flames and abyssal darkness were consuming his entire body!
Both his body and soul began to slowly decay…
He was about to die.
Darkness once more took ahold of his entire self, something that he was very familiar with began to take ahold of his entire existence…
Death.
And as always… he was alone.
The Goblin Emperor glanced with a victorious smile as Frank began to be disintegrated…
However, within the darkness that began to engulf Frank, he heard the voice of his allies and family.
"Onii-sama! Please… don\'t die!" cried Kamei.
"FRANK! MY SON!" cried Amelia\'s soul.
"FRAAAANK…!" roared Okita\'s soul.
"You idiot! You are not… alone!" roared Gwendolyn.
"Frank, let us help you!!!" cried Annabelle.
"GRRAWR!" roared Ruby.
"ROAR!" roared Zhulong.
"My lord…! Don\'t die!" cried Nezhit.
"Master!" cried Zero.
"Frank-kun!" cried Hilvera.
"Boy!" cried Cathyl.
"Frank!" roared Asterion.
"Don\'t dare die on me!" cried Vheslia.
"Frank! You\'re too young to die!" cried Grandwing.
"Grandwing, what are you doing?!" asked Melodia, as within the shadows of Frank, Grandwing emerged, expanding his wings, and raising to the skies, reaching Frank by boosting his speed with his wind!
"FRANK! Grab my hand!" he roared, as Frank suddenly woke up, extending the last arm he had…
Grandwing grasped Frank tightly, flying away from the Goblin Emperor\'s cannon as it exploded into the ceiling!
BOOM!
"Frank… heal yourself!" said Grandwing, as Frank glanced at his companion.
"Grandwing…" he muttered.
Flash.
Suddenly, the Goblin Emperor appeared right before Frank and Grandwing, his fist penetrating Grandwing\'s chest, tightly grabbing his emerald core coated in blood.
"Pest, die," muttered the Goblin Emperor.
"Nngaah…! Frank… live…"
Frank glanced at the scene as his eyes seemed to be embraced by the abyss.
