Capítulo 78: Dead Tyrant
As Illyana held the greatsword in the air, the Tyrant, still charging towards her on all fours, finally closed the distance. It swung its massive right claw down at her, using its full momentum in the strike.
Illyana swung her new soulsword down in response. An arc of energy shot out from the blade, slicing cleanly through the incoming claw.
Meanwhile, Liam leaped forward the moment he had obliterated the ice crystals in the sky. As Illyana severed the Tyrant's right claw, Liam jumped past her, heading for its left arm, which was still on the ground.
Liam sent a small chunk of energy into Neontote in its normal form and gripped the weapon by the very end of its handle. As he swung it down, a large, white-and-yellow arc shot out from the blade, flying towards the Tyrant's left shoulder.
In response, hot plasma beams were send out from the pores on the front of the Tyrant's body, aiming for the energy arc, Liam, and Illyana simultaneously.
The arc went straight through one of the plasma beams, losing almost none of its power as it sliced halfway into the Tyrant's left shoulder. Liam, reacting quickly, using his domain to summon old stone structures, reinforced by his magic, to shield both himself and Illyana from the incoming plasma beams.
The Tyrant continued sending plasma beams from its pores while simultaneously forming more ice crystals in the air. However, using so much energy caused its massive form to shrink further, losing another eight stories in height.
Now it was reduced to only 32 stories tall, it also could no longer regenerate its two destroyed eyes, its severed claws, or the deep cut in its shoulder.
It roared, manipulating the ice crystals in the air to surround Liam's walls.
Liam on the other hand, summoned a white rift in front of him and jumped through, reappearing behind the Tyrant's left shoulder. With Neontote in hand, he channeled another small chunk of energy into the weapon and swung down.
This time, the arc cleaved entirely through the shoulder.
The Tyrant roared in pain as its massive left arm fell to the ground. It halted its plasma attacks and, using its remaining arm and legs, hurled itself to the side opposite Liam, knowing it needed to create distance to survive. Without pause, it redirected most of the ice crystals towards Liam, keeping only a few near its body for defense.
Illyana, seizing the opportunity, created a dark red portal in front of her and leaped through it, reappearing above the Tyrant's head. She swung her sword down diagonally, aiming for its remaining eyes.
The Tyrant sensed the danger and moved its head aside just in time, saving its eyes but still taking a deep cut across its back.
As the ice crystals swarmed towards her again, Illyana created another rift and disappeared, narrowly avoiding the crystals.
Realizing it was losing, the Tyrant turned towards the towering 60-story walls surrounding them. It charged at full speed, shrinking by another 8 stories as it approached. Once close, it raised its remaining claw and struck the wall with all its might.
The impact left a visible dent in the wall, surprising Liam, who was racing after it. Seeing the Tyrant continue hammering at the wall, Liam decided to try a new tactic. He raised his hand, making a quick gesture, and a sharp pillar of stone shot up from beneath the Tyrant.
The pillar pierced its skin but failed to penetrate deeper.
"As expected, I don't have enough experience to make it sharp enough." Liam muttered, creating another rift in front of him. "Let's finish this fight. It's exhausted and immensely weakened."
Meanwhile, Illyana closed the distance, channeling over half of her remaining energy into her greatsword. The blade enlarged to twice its size, as she swung it with all her strength.
A massive, deep-red vertical arc tore through the air and ground towards the Tyrant. Though it managed to shift slightly, the attack severed one of its legs and cut away a portion of its lower body.
The Tyrant, now desperate as it shrunk in size even more, turned sluggishly towards its assailants while opening its mouth. At that moment, a white rift appeared above its head.
Liam appeared, pouring almost all of his remaining energy into Neontote. He swung the weapon down in a diagonal arc.
The massive energy slash flew through the air, moving too quickly for the Tyrant to evade. The arc struck with precision, slicing through its neck and taking out a quarter of its remaining upper body.
The Tyrant's body collapsed to the ground, with its head still attached to its last arm but no lower body. Still refusing to die, it tried to crawl away, pulling itself slowly across the battlefield.
Illyana, who was still in the air, gripped her enlarged greatsword tightly and flew straight towards the Tyrant's head. She drove the blade deep into the skull, right between where all its eyes had once been.
Pouring all her remaining energy into the weapon, she used her remaining Limbo-infused power. The energy began to erode the Tyrant's consciousness, melting its massive head from within.
As her energy reserves depleted, Illyana released the greatsword and began to fall. Her horns and wings slowly faded away, and the greatsword disintegrated into particles. Lockheed, who had been supporting her in battle, reverted back to his doll form.
Liam, standing below, caught both Illyana and the doll as they fell. He opened and stepped through a white rift, carrying them to safety before returning to the battlefield.
"Now, what to do with this mess?" Liam muttered, looking at the scattered remains of the Tyrant.
Since the creature was made of absorbed energy, its body parts would slowly revert to their original state. However, the adaptive energy staying within it posed a problem.
'I'll need to remove that first,' Liam thought. 'It'll speed up the decomposition process and prevent someone from recreating this nightmare.'
He placed his hand on the Tyrant's remaining body and allowed Incursio to take over. The energy flowed back into him, traveling deep into the connection he had with Incursio's dimension.
After several minutes, the adaptive energy had been completely drained. Liam opened his eyes and looked beyond his walls, sensing dangerous energies approaching.
"Time to leave this dimension," he said, stepping through a rift while looking back one last time.
On the other side, he sat down beside the unconscious Illyana gently. As his armor unsummoned, he felt utterly drained from the fight and pretty much dying once. He laid down on the ground, closing his eyes, and fell into a deep, exhausted sleep.
