"Surtr, Emerald! Thanks for ing!" Drake exclaimed.
"Everyone else is busy fighting the endless creations of the Dominion, but we were the first to break through!" Surtr declared.
"We noticed you were battling three enemies at once, and it seemed several of your abilities were being suppressed, so we rushed in to help!" Emerald added with a firm nod.
"Tch! You think bringing these stupid kids will make a difference, Drake?!" Sangre roared angrily. "I’ll tear them to shreds in front of you and-"
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOM!
"GAAAAH?!"
Sangre’s eyes widened as Drake’s Aura surged, manifesting into a colossal Titan crafted from Spiritual Energy and the Essence of Heaven and Earth, striking him down with overwhelming force.
"Sangre! I am your opponent, and I won’t let you touch anyone else! Surtr, Emerald, I’m leaving the rest to you!" Drake manded.
"You got it, master!" Surtr responded, transforming into his strongest form as several fire dragon souls fused into his body, amplifying his power to an extraordinary degree.
"It won’t be easy, but this is a worthy challenge... YES! HAHAHA!" Emerald laughed, switching to his demonic alter ego. Half his body turned fiery red, sprouting demonic horns.
Both had clearly trained diligently, pushing their limits and beyond. Surtr’s "Ultimate Form" was now even more refined and potent, while Emerald’s mastery over his alter ego’s transformation was markedly improved.
"W-What the hell was that...?!" Sangre coughed up blood, glaring as Drake descended toward him with relentless determination.
He noticed a towering figure emerging from Drake’s Aura—not merely an Aura but a Spirit born from Drake’s powers. His Ascendancy Law Rings shone brightly, their bined energy manifesting this entity with greater intensity.
"{Heavenly Soul Spirit Sovereign of Yin & Yang}"
The humanoid spirit giant revealed its true form, split between light and darkness, with a spinning yin-yang symbol on its chest. Draconic scales, horns, wings, and a tail swiftly formed across its body.
This was the evolution of Drake’s Doppelganger Spirit, used as a material for his new Ascendancy Law Ring. It had transformed into a Divine Ability, further integrated with his powers, being an extension of his very being.
It was as if another "Drake" resided within his Aura, effectively doubling his power when summoned!
Of course, the energy cost was substantial, as it was a high-ranking ability. However, Drake had been slaying monsters across Vanaheim with his Dragon Spirits, absorbing their essence and refining it into Ascendancy Law Essence.
Thus, despite the challenges, Drake recovered his energy swiftly, giving him the confidence to unleash stronger techniques immediately rather than conserving power for later.
And honestly, he had to acknowledge it...
Sangre was formidable, exceptionally so.
For someone who never became a Venerable, he had achieved absurd power by harnessing the Soul Fragments of the Vampire Venerable, enslaving two Chaos Dragons, and wielding three fragments of Pandemonium.
"I recognize your incredible strength and conviction, brother, but even so, I must insist," Drake said firmly. "Stop this and join me."
"NO! I WILL NEVER, NEVER GIVE UP MY CONVICTIONS! AND I WILL BE THE ONE TO TEAR YOU TO SHREDS AND SEIZE YOUR POWER, DRAKE!!!"
Consumed by frustration, Sangre’s form began to transform. The two Fragments of Pandemonium spread fleshy tendrils across his body, making him more demonic and massive. He was encased in a black exoskeleton, with glowing red patches between the armor plates revealing countless crimson eyes.
At the same time, Drake saw a fragmented Ascendancy Law Ring emerge behind him, perhaps part of what he stole from the Vampire Venerable, but not the plete one, and it might never bee plete either way, as Ruby had the other half, which she had already developed into a plete ring.
And yet, even if it wasn’t a plete one, the power he gained was ridiculous, warping space around him and empowering him as the darkness and blood energies of his Dominion flowed through every inch of his body.
"R A A A A A H H H H !"
With a mighty roar, Sangre rushed toward Drake, attacking first with a barrage of slashing attacks with his long, sharp claws, before manifesting hundreds of swords made of crystallized blood energy and firing them at Drake.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
Drake didn’t move an inch as he let Sangre get closer to him. His powerful [Heavenly Soul Spirit Sovereign of Yin & Yang] Divine Ability, born from his newest Ascendancy Law Ring, overflowed with immense power, smashing through every projectile and tearing it apart while protecting Drake from any explosion.
The power of this Heavenly Soul Spirit was incredible, and Drake realized that if he paired this with his Archetypes, it could bee a deadly bination.
"N N G R A A A A H H H !"
Sangre roared in frustration as his head twisted, opening into four tentacle-like parts and unleashing a gigantic breath attack against Drake.
TRUUUM!
Drake quickly felt the immense power within it, rapidly swinging the fists of his Heavenly Soul Spirit and punching through the beam, while his true body moved, rapidly catching Sangre off-guard and swinging Muramasa toward him.
"{Celestial Frozen Lotus Blade}!"
He imbued the Technique he had used before, enpassing Muramasa in a rainbow frost covering, infusing the power of this Dominion into every stroke of his blade.
And suddenly...
FLASH!
Several techniques flowed through his mind. The techniques the other warriors of Zipangu had shown him had inspired him to create his own unique set of techniques with his Katana.
By bining what he had learned from their movements...
"SANGREEEEE! GET READY!"
"Ngh?!"
Sangre’s eyes widened as he desperately conjured a blood sword to intercept Drake’s blade.
However...
"{Winter Fang Draw: Hyōga no Battō}!"
Drake swiftly unsheathed his sword in an upward arc. A draconic fang of rainbow and azure frost surged forth, piercing Sangre’s arm and severing it instantly with surgical precision.
"GAAAH?!"
Sangre howled in pain; the wound covered in rainbow frost that inhibited his ability to regenerate at will!
Yet he was far from weak.
