Chapter 526: Frey Starlight vs Dragoth (2)
"Don’t get the wrong idea, Dragoth."
BOOOOOOM!!
With a colossal slash that tore through the void itself, Frey sent his opponent flying—all the way back to the place where everything began: Yharnam.
"What you see before you... is a monster of a different breed. One completely unlike Abraham Starlight."
Teleporting instantly, Frey pursued him without hesitation.
"Make no mistake—unlike my father, I don’t leave my enemies alive!"
Frey’s swords moved at terrifying speed—feral and ruthless—ripping through Dragoth’s flesh with unrelenting force. His thick killing intent poured out without end.
Despite receiving those devastating blows, Dragoth didn’t retreat. Not once.
Instead, with a terrifying grin, he lunged forward and sank his teeth into Frey’s neck, ripping out a large chunk of flesh as he laughed wildly.
"Really? A monster of a different kind?! Then why does your blood taste exactly the same as any other human!!"
Dragoth roared, his voice thundering like a storm, his wounds rapidly regenerating. Then, swinging his sword with brutal might..
He unleashed a destructive beam of black lightning that swallowed Frey whole.
"Raging Raijin Style: Ragnarok Discharge!"
Stabbing his blade into the ground, a dark circle spread outward, stretching hundreds of meters in every direction.
Then, without warning ..
The sky split open, and a colossal pillar of black lightning descended from above—a heavenly spear of destruction that engulfed the earth and incinerated everything in its wake.
It was as if the heavens themselves had descended.
Amid the roaring thunder and Dragoth’s insane laughter ..Frey was burned alive. His body was charred, his flesh blackened and his features warped beyond recognition.
That twisted face... the burnt flesh... the flowing blood—all of it was the result of just one brutal attack from Dragoth, who had completely overwhelmed his opponent.
Dragoth laughed madly ..
But his smile vanished in an instant.
Because Frey Starlight had teleported once again, appearing right in front of him.
His face half-burned to the bone, with skin and flesh peeled away... he lunged and bit off Dragoth’s ear—and part of his skull—in one monstrous bite.
Frey looked like a beast that had crawled out of hell itself .. a creature so horrific that Dragoth instinctively stepped back in fear.
Frey chewed the filthy meat a few times before spitting the blood and flesh to the ground.
With a sick grin, he gripped his swords and snarled into Dragoth’s face ..
"In the end, the taste of a Human Demon’s flesh isn’t much different from a piece of filthy shit! I wonder what you’re made of, Dragoth?!"
Frey howled in madness as violet flames roared across his body ..
—and in the blink of an eye, his entire body regenerated, restoring him to his original form.
Using his teleportation again, Frey appeared behind Dragoth’s back.
The demon turned instantly, swinging his sword in a wide arc that shattered the ground behind him ..but it was nothing more than an illusion. Frey had already reappeared on his other side.
Then, without warning, Frey plunged his sword deep into Dragoth’s chest.
With a bloodthirsty, terrifying grin, he roared ..
"Ignition!!"
Before Dragoth could even comprehend what was happening, Frey’s body cracked open, unleashing a raging surge of Aura that rushed violently into his blade.
Unleashing a nuclear Ignition through his sword... Frey obliterated Dragoth’s body along with the entire space around them.
The Aura he released was so immense, a purple column pierced the sky, tearing it apart once more—this time in response to Dragoth’s previous thunder strike.
That devastating attack left Dragoth in a grotesque state: his chest, left arm, and the left half of his face had been completely annihilated .. nothing remained but emptiness.
For a moment, Dragoth looked shocked.
But then, he let out a monstrous howl that shook the void itself.
Within mere seconds, flesh and bone regenerated, filling the void and restoring his body to its original form.
No sooner had he healed than he clashed with Frey again.
The two tore into each other with savage brutality ..every sword swing ripping apart the ground beneath them. One was a deathless human demon, the other a Starlight Lord against whom physical damage meant nothing.
It was pure savagery ..a battle between two monsters who cared nothing for what happened to their bodies.
Dragoth relied on raw, brute force. Frey, on the other hand, moved with insane speed, and every one of his attacks dealt significant damage.
Realizing he was outmatched in terms of speed, Dragoth’s Aura flared intensely around him, and a strange gray glow enveloped his body.
"Lightning Steps."
Activating a special skill, he took a single step forward ..vanishing and reappearing instantly behind Frey, slicing into his flesh and tearing through his shoulder.
Dragoth’s speed had multiplied several times, now matching that of Frey.
But Frey healed instantly, and the two vanished together.
Their movements were so fast they blinked in and out of sight, clashing momentarily before disappearing again, leaving behind nothing but ruin in their wake.
The exchange repeated thousands of times in mere seconds, shaking the void from the sheer intensity.
Their bodies left behind dozens of trails of exploding Aura, intertwining in a chaotic dance ..each one trying to dominate the other.
Dark lightning of overwhelming might... and violet shadows of terrifying power.
The clash continued for an extended time—at a speed far beyond the eye’s ability to track.
And with each exchange, bloodied wounds multiplied on both of them.
Gathering an immense surge of lightning Aura, gripping his colossal sword, Dragoth hurled himself toward Frey and tore through the sky.
"Raijin’s Wrath: Fang of the Flash!"
His attack split everything in its path into halves and threatened to completely erase Frey.
But at the very last instant, Frey vanished—and from thin air...
Thousands of clones erupted around Dragoth in a blink.
"Ten Thousand Steps of Shadow: Mirage."
In under a second, Frey conjured 10,000 perfect clones, all glowing with deadly intent ..surrounding the human demon who couldn’t comprehend what he was witnessing.
All of them shouted in unison as dark Aura surged around their swords ..
"Ten Thousand Steps of Shadow: Black Severance!"
In that moment, 10,000 Freys launched 10,000 black blades toward Dragoth’s body.
Ten thousand dark arcs tore into the human demon without mercy, shredding him so violently that his body became nothing but a bloody pulp.
Dragoth’s blood rained from the sky in torrents as his mangled body plummeted toward the ground.
But just before his back could touch the earth ..
Frey appeared beneath him, raising his sword in preparation for a devastating impalement.
And just as his sword pierced Dragoth’s back, Frey whispered from his lips ..
"Ignition."
