Chapter 161 - Intense Battle Of Souls!
-----
Noah began to employ the power within the souls of his subordinates and his wife, who were pouring it all over the resting Excalibur above his sleeping body.
"He\'s… using it! I can feel it…!" said Iris while containing her tears, knowing that her beloved husband was fighting valiantly filled her with emotions.
"Noah, you can do it! I know you can!" said Arthur.
"Please, my lord!" said Timassa.
"We are… going to give you everything we have!" said Jon.
"Master… wake up!" said Adamantine.
"My lord… You can\'t leave us like this!" said Clementina.
Blue-colored phantasmal energies, black-colored electric energy, purple-colored poisonous energy, dark, purple-colored curse energies, shadow energies, and icy and cold energies all gathered over Excalibur, as the comrades that Noah had forged through these days began to pour their everything into this battle that they could not participate!
They already knew very well how Noah was, he was a vicious vampire that would never give up no matter the odds, he would crawl and monstrously breakthrough anything on his path, generating a road filled with blood and corpses where he could march through, no matter what!
Merlin glanced at the group of Vampires with a scornful glare.
"Tch! Arthur, you have been corrupted… Do you truly think that you can help him?!" roared Merlin.
As the Vampires began to pour their soul and mana into Excalibur, they began to feel naturally weakened, their perception and senses were beginning to become dull, and Merlin used this opportunity to do something underhanded!
Although most of his powers were gone, he still had the strong Mana Soul of a Level VI Magician, slowly crawling through the hall while leaving his bones there to make it seem as if he was completely defeated!
Merlin treacherously began to crawl through the artifacts, suddenly finding a large, and heavy gold-colored full set of magic armor with the strength to be considered an A-Rank Artifact Set!
The phantasmal Mana Soul quickly used this new armor as a vessel, as he grabbed a large magic Staff near it, laughing evilly!
Because he lacked a body now, Merlin was not able to use his magic properly, and could only do things through direct contact.
But by using this magic armor and the Staff has magical vessels, he began to pour his vast Mana into them, filling himself with actual power!
These Artifacts were engraved with hundreds of magic circles, possessing several runes and enhancements, while the Staff had several magic circles and runes with the power to conjure several types of elemental spells, powers that existed outside of the System!
Suddenly, Iris quickly realized that something was going on, as she saw a large, golden-colored armor moving on its own!
The armor carried a large golden staff decorated with a red-colored jewel on top, which began to shine brightly!
Flash!
"Did you really thought I was a pushover?! You lowered your guards, foolish kids! Now, Arthur, let me exterminate these Undead pests so I can reeducate you about being a true King!" said Merlin, becoming completely malicious as several intricate magic runes began to emerge all around him, summoning fire, wind, water, ice, earth, and light!
"What?! Merlin!?" asked Arthur in surprise.
"He\'s aiming with everything he has…!" said Timassa.
"Don\'t stop giving Noah our strength! Let\'s combine our power to make a barrier!" said Iris, as all the other Vampires obeyed their mistress and immediately combined their leftover power, generating a large barrier!
FLASH!
Just in time!
Enormous fireballs, arrows made of emerald winds, spears made of ice, boulders made of hard rock, and bright rays of light clashed against the large multi-elemental magical barrier, generating loud explosions all around!
"Hmph, your power is not the true power of magic, but the borrowed power of that alien invader! Foolish kids, know what true magic is!" laughed Merlin, showering the Noctem Family members with dozens of powerful spells!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Iris and everyone else gnashed their teeth, resisting the powerful magical attacks while also pouring their soul into Noah!
They needed to bet everything on him!
"HAHAHAHA! How long can you last?!" laughed Merlin.
As the intense one-sided battle unfolded outside, yet another battle unfolded within the depths of the Divine Soul of Excalibur!
The Lady of the Lake glanced at Noah with a startled expression on her face.
She could not believe what she was seeing! Noah\'s power kept growing and growing, as he began to use different elements as if nothing!
These powers… were not they the powers that those outside this place, the ones possessing the "System" created by the alien god can use?
But… there was something wrong with this!
"How?! How can you use the power of the System within my domain! In this Divine Realm, you cannot use such alien magic craft!" said the Lady of the Lake, quickly stepping back as she generated several holy light rays, firing them right towards Noah!
Noah smiled maliciously as he waved his claws, unleashing the power of corrosive poison of Arthur, the phantom blue flames of Iris, and the black shadows of Adamantine!
Using his bare soul claws, he destroyed the rays of light like nothing and quickly pounced back towards the woman!
"Foolish woman, how ignorant can you be to not realize it?" asked Noah.
"W-What? How dare you call me ignorant!" roared the Lady of the Lake, creating a holy light barrier using her very soul and blocking Noah\'s vicious claws and shadow tentacles!
Clash! Clash! Clash!
"This power is not the System, this is the power of their very souls!" said Noah, suddenly combining the mass of his soul and the power given to him by his subordinates and his wife, shaping his very existence as a giant, demonic spear made of pure soul!
"W-What kind of monstrous existence are you to be able to shape your soul like that?! You have long delved into the abyss of complete insanity, have you not?!" roared the Lady of the Lake, as she saw Noah\'s demonic spear-form break through her barrier in an instant, generating a loud explosion!
BOOM!
"Unngaagh…!"
The Lady of the Lake received the powerful explosion of darkness, which resembled the deadly miasma which was the weakness of those of pure and heavenly souls!
The miasma began to seep into her holy soul as if it were a vicious, black-colored slimy ooze, as she quickly escaped from Noah before he was to strike her again, failing to reach her and hitting the ground in the form of a giant spear!
BOOM!
The Lady of the Lake gnashed her teeth as she began to purify her holy soul from the impurities caused by the miasma-like essence produced by Noah\'s monstrous and mutant soul, however, several needles made of cursed blood-soul quickly reached her, showering her with piercing attacks!
Each attack transformed into tiny soul pieces of miasma that seeped deep into her very soul, filling her with pain! She tried to purify them as they entered her soul, but they kept reaching her through the needles!
Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash!
"Unnnnnggyyyaaaaa! Y-You… UNHOLY DEMON!"
The Lady of the Lake could not take over the agonizing pain that was having her soul pierced a thousand times by tiny needles that seeped deadly miasma into her holy soul, as she quickly exploded in anger!
BOOM!
A wave of iridescent bright holy light covered her entire Divine Realm, impacting Noah directly and blasting him away!
The Spawn of Azathoth could only give him a limited amount of power without devouring his soul as an after-effect, so Noah could not defend properly, dissipating through the incident and blinding light of the Lady of the Lake\'s Holy Divine Soul!
FLASH!
Noah\'s soul had completely dissipated into nothingness!
