Chapter 1374 The Last Resort
-----
Sol groaned in agony, quickly standing back up. His fiery body was covered on frost, turning as hard as stone, with no flesh whatsoever. His "ethereal" form was in fact only achievable if he could channel energies completely, but thanks to Tisha's powerful ice attribute attack, he was frozen, and such energies could not be channeled to the point he became a walking miniature sun.
To make things worse, blows hurt much more than before, even though he was now faster and stronger, his defenses had plummeted, and he might be even frailer than before turning into the metallic monster from before…
"Yuki!" Pekora ran towards Yuki, whose body was almost completely burnt, her face was barely intact, although most of her hair had been burned. "[Spiritual Nature's Cradle of Healing]!"
The rabbit-kin quickly conjured the power of her Nature Spirits, wrapping Yuki's entire body on branches and plants that relieved her pain and started to heal her deadly wounds.
"Ugh… That bastard… Please… Kill him…!" Yuki muttered, before falling unconscious.
"Is she alright?!" Tisha asked, glancing at Sol who was still shocked over the damage he took.
"As long as she stays still!" Pekora said, quickly putting Yuki inside of her Divine Realm. "But now, it's only the two of us against that monster…"
"We have to finish him off quickly, we don't have infinite divine energy either." Tisha gritted her teeth. "You're going to pay for torturing Yuki like that, you piece of shit."
"Torturing? Hahah…" Sol started laughing like a maniac. "Didn't you do the same to me? So hypocrite… You women are all such pieces of shit!"
Sol's flames surged from his heart-shaped divine core, quickly melting the ice covering half of his body in just a few seconds, as he started to float in midair by the centrifugal force of the flames by themselves.
"DIEEEE! [Infernal Purgatory]!!!" 𝑏𝑒𝘥𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝑛𝘦𝑡
He spread out his arms as he unleashed a gigantic shockwave of flames and light around him, so powerful that it shook the earth below, opening huge cracks on the floor that led to a molten lava beneath.
TRUUUUUUUMMM…!
The wave of all-consuming infernal flames and blinding light instantly impacted Pekora and Tisha's defensive barriers, blowing them away. Tisha managed to grab Pekora by the arm and hit the floor with her frost sword, using it as a support to maintain herself in there.
Their skin was burning horribly, even with the new scales that Tisha had gained. Such scales simply melted before the might of Sol's new magical prowess.
"Hahahaha… I've finally awakened it! My true power! I've always been the chosen one! From the very start! I'm the protagonist! And I am just beginning my journey!" Laughed Sol. "You're just tribulations, a tormenting challenge to make the hero, me, grow even stronger! I have to thank you, women, you did your job. Now… Just die already. [Celestial Nova]"
He pointed his right palm at the girls, gathering a huge quantity of light and infernal flames, which slowly started to transform and condense into a miniature star!
"Fuck, we can't even move before this powerful flame…!" Tisha muttered. "Arrgh…! DAMMIT!"
"Tisha!" Pekora cried, hugging her from behind. "Do you trust me?"
"Huh? Of course I trust you! Ungh…!" Tisha muttered. "Do you have a plan? Say it already before-"
However, before Tisha could finish her words, Pekora approached her face to hers as her lips touched her own, she kissed Tisha passionately, the Ice Elf was confused beyond belief, yet she felt her heart beating faster and faster. Their lips finally separated as Tisha was blushing red!
"W-What was that?!" Tisha cried. "W-Wha…?!"
"This should be enough." Pekora smiled, her eyes suddenly glowing bright blue. "I've made a connection between our souls, something that can be done through Spirit Magic. I needed… a strong emotional bond for that. Well, I guess it is quite obvious, but I really love you, dummy."
"E-Eh?!" Tisha blushed even more, but quickly felt Pekora's might emerging from within her body. This power was something Drake had taught her, it was a powerful Spell only he, who had the Unique Skill Spirit Creation could use.
But that Pekora had somehow adapted, utilizing her great mastery over Spirit Magic.
"Now… Let's do it! [Spirit Fusion]!"
FLAAAAASSSH!
As the two girls souls resonated with the spiritual power of Pekora and merged together, Sol gave a disgusted groan.
"What are you even doing?! BURN!" Sol roared furiously, firing the gigantic sphere of compressed flames and light.
BOOOOOOOMMMMM…!
The miniature star reached the two girls, the impact generated a distortion on space itself, as a shockwave shattered everything, the ground below simply disappeared as everything left was a gigantic crater leaving into the depths of Muspelheim's molten underground.
"Hahahaha…! This is hilarious…" Sol continued laughing. "Did I do that?! I can't believe how strong I've become! I'm a literal god… I'm a GOD! And I-"
CLAAAASSSH!
"UNGH?!"
However, before Sol could continue his cringeworthy speech, a huge frozen claw reached his body, piercing through the magical barriers he had one after another and slashing through his small body, leaving huge wounds behind!
"AAARRRGHH…!"
The "hero" screamed in agony, falling from the skies, and hitting the ground right next to the huge crater he left behind. His face was filled with disbelief as he saw the perpetrator of that attack, completely intact.
"W-Wha…?! What the fuck is that?!"
It resembled a snake-like dragon, with blue frost scales, and golden fur, alongside beautiful rabbit-like ears, and a cute yet fierce appearance. The entity's eyes shone with bright emerald and sapphire light.
[Thanks to the powers of [Spirit Fusion], [Pekora] and [Tisha] have merged together with the [Divine Sunflower Spirit] [Divine Lightning Rabbit Spirit] and the [Essence of the Frost Dragon Warrior's Physique]!]
[Their combined power has transformed them into the [Great Frost Lightning Dragon] Divine Spirit!]
[All Stats have temporarily increased by +300%, and Spirit, Lightning, and Frost Magic Damage have temporarily increased by +500%.]
[Summoning Duration: 3 Minutes.]
Pekora and Tisha merged into a glorious dragon spirit!
"ROOOOOAAARRRR!"
The mystical divine dragon spirit flew down towards Sol, without letting him speak any longer, as a rampage of Frost Lightning rained upon him!
