THE END OF THE LORD PHANTOM
"Tell that to yourself again", I replied to him.
Suddenly, Lord Phantom was shocked that the magical growth from the ground didn't pass through his ethereal body, they penetrated through his body, and he was restrained by it.
"How did your spell affect me?" Phantom Lord questioned me angrily.
"My magic is infused with the Seed of Life", I replied to him.
My templar skill, the Giant slayer of Ikea, was originally a vegetative growth magic that summoned rolling vines. By chance, I obtained a strange artifact from the Knight Templar Academy, the Seed of Life.
Originally thought to be useless, the Seed of Life actually contained enormous magic from the Realm of Life and also the magic of Light. I augmented my growth magic with this powerful seed, evolving my templar skill into a single colossal pillar of growth.
"I thought only the Knight's Order magic can hurt the phantoms?" Ratatouille asked me curiously.
"I've checked the manual about this realm, the phantoms are not afraid of the Knight's Order magic but the magic of light. The Knights merely incorporated light magic into their sword slash skills in order to fight the beings of darkness", I replied to him.
"This magic will not stop me for long. You do not understand what kind of existence I am. I am beyond you mere humans to comprehend", Lord Phantom said to me as he struggled to free himself from my overgrowth.
Suddenly, several versions of me appeared around the Lord Phantom. They swung their enormous broadswords that channeled powerful sword beams at the Lord Phantom.
These duplicates of me were actually my Malevolent Slaves who were augmented and transformed by the artifacts and weapons of the ancient Knights in the Tomb of Order.
They could transform into my appearance and cast magic that I could. They could also channel magic into their weapons, to summon powerful strikes at the enemy.
"Try this then from all of us", I replied to Lord Phantom.
Together we surrounded Lord Phantom and struck him from all around him with powerful magical slash channeled through the weapons of the Knights of Order found in this realm that was now incorporated into them.
The magic was particularly effective against the Lord Phantom.
"Knight Lacerations of Order"
Suddenly, the Lord Phantom made a loud roar before the crawly beings from the realm of Darkness escaped into this realm. When they escaped here, they transformed into Phantoms.
These Phantoms rushed into Lord Phantom to supplant him with their magic, enhancing the colossal being's already immense power.
Lord Phantom's body was now reinforced by magical armor. These armors were extremely powerful, and they blocked the magic from our Knight Laceration Slashes effortlessly.
"I will kill you and take your soul back into the Realm of Darkness", Lord Phantom shouted to me.
Lord Phantom was now impervious to my knights' slashes, and he was about to break free from my pillar of growth.
Suddenly, Phantom Lord broke free from my growth pillar.
He leaped into the sky before diving down toward me. With a large powerful slam from his hand, he struck where I was, destroying the ground around me together with me inside.
"Ant, I got you finally", Phantom Lord said to me.
"Arrggggghhhhh"
The Lord Phantom screamed as his palm was stung by something painful as he struck the ground to kill me.
The Phantom pulled back his enormous palm immediately to check if he flattened me. The ground was turned into a crater the shape of a palm, but the Lord Phantom couldn't find me in the ground.
"Arrggghhhhhh"
Lord Phantom screamed again as his other hand quickly squeezed his chest. He got a bad chest pain as something was attacking his heart from inside.
"What is this trickery?" Lord Phantom asked loudly but nobody was there to reply to him.
Soon, more parts of the Lord Phantom were being attacked by a mysterious magic. The magic tore through his body from inside of him before gnawing and consuming him. Even his magic and soul could not escape from this horrible magic.
"Who are you?" Lord Phantom screamed at me again angrily.
This time I appeared before him to meet his questioning.
"You do not understand what kind of existence I am. I am beyond you, mere phantoms to comprehend", I replied to Lord Phantom, echoing his words back to him.
Soon, Lord Phantom's body exploded when strands of lightlessness flowed out from his body.
When Lord Phantom struck me in the ground, I released the Sword of Malevolence on him. The Sword of Malevolence broke through the skin in his hands and reached all parts of his body.
"This is the vile magic of Malevolence. You are the Dark Angel of Revelations", Lord Phantom said to me with recognition now.
In a short time, the Lord Phantom was consumed by my Sword of Malevolence.
-------
"You should have used your Sword of Malevolence right at the start. The fight would be over even before it starts", Ratatouille told me.
"The Dark Angel's magic should not be used wantonly", I replied to him.
The Dark Angel's magic was extremely powerful. It could defeat and destroy even divine beings with ease. It was the strongest of my trump cards.
But I usually refrained from using the malevolent magic because firstly the magic doesn't belong to me. I needed to develop my own magic.
Secondly, I wary that the more I use the Sword of Malevolence, the more magic the sword would consume, and the magic would be channeled to the Dark Angel' soul for his recovery. For some reason, I don't want the Dark Angel to revive too soon.
The sooner the Dark Angel revives, the sooner I would have to face it. The resolution of that date might not be good for me. It was usually fatal to deal with divine beings even if they are supposedly on your side.
"The Dark Angel's soul has been nourished by the dark magic of the Lord Phantom. The magic of the Dark realm is beneficial to him. Your entire soul realm is transforming with the infusion of this magic", Ratatouille told me and reported.
"Damn, that is not good news. That is what I am afraid of", I complained to myself.
