Chapter 418: Miranda Discovers Her True Capabilities
-----
The powerful explosions ensued due to the strong shadow and darkness projectiles impacting the Lunar Dragon's Moonlight Shields, which quickly broke apart one after another. The power of these Abyssal Projectiles was admirable compared to the other shadow spears! Was this ice giant hiding its strength until now or was it desperately throwing all he had now? The Lunar Dragon couldn't properly tell, but rushed forward, trying to finish this off quickly!
However!
"Shadow Familiar!"
FLASH!
Unlike other enemy sect members, this one suddenly summoned his familiar for battle! The familiar he had was a gigantic wolf-like shadow beat, but that wasn't really a shadow beast. Familiars were different than whatever shadow beasts were, as they were usually spirits or representations of the user's magical power, this man had even made a pact with a shadow spirit and brought it here through familiar summoning!
"Attack! Shadow Wolf!" roared the man, as the giant ten-meter-tall Shadow Wolf roared loudly. It jumped over the Lunar Dragon and bite through the shields he had made, catching up to the giant snake-like dragon and biting his neck with its sharp fangs!
CRUNCH!
"Uagh…!"
The Dragon roared angrily as he quickly began to battle it off with the giant wolf. His body entangled it and tried to destroy it this way, but the shadow wolf was slowly devastating his neck, his attacks were barely effective against this shadow spirit with very strong defenses against light element!
BOOOOMMM!!!
The two suddenly fell over the floor, the eastern-like lunar dragon roared angrily as he opened his jaws and caught the wolf in time, unleashing a deadly breath attack charged with the power of the moonlight, unlashing it over the monstrous beast's body, and piercing through its shadow body!
BOOOOMMM!!!!!
"GRROOARRR…!"
The Shadow Wolf roared angrily and painfully, a big chunk of its body was gone, but it slowly regenerated back, biting, and slashing the lunar dragon! the battle was in some sort of stalemate!
"Hahaha…! Kill that thing!" roared the man, ordering the beast to fight!
Suddenly, the snake he had tamed slowly crawled back to him, seemingly friendly and submissive.
"Ah, you're alive! Good, go help my familiar and- EH?!"
Against the man's expectations, the snake's crimson-red eyes shone brightly as it emanated a strong presence, but its anger and bloodthirst were thrown at him!
"ROAR!"
CLASH!
Its tail hit the man unexpectedly, as he was thrown over the floor. The tail quickly caught up to him before he could even move, as it began to slap and whip him down, his bones easily braking apart before ethe might of the beast!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
"Uuuaagggh…! Y-You dare turn against me, your master?!" cried the man in disbelief.
"You're not my master." She said, with the voice of Miranda!
"W-What?! You can… talk…! Uaggh…!" the ice giant vomited a mouthful of blood, he tried using magic but nothing would come out, he was too exhausted to even conjure a shadow bullet!
Of course the snake could talk! It wasn't his usual snake, but Miranda! Miranda had indeed been inside the snake since it died. She used her powers as a being made entirely out of mold to parasitize the entire corpse and take over it. She pretended to be the man's pet, being friendly and submissive, only to stab him in the back and hit him several times!
She found out that the power of the snake was surprisingly amazing, she used her tails to hit the ice giant with all her power and that easily broke the man's bones into pieces… now, she had to finish him off, which would also unsummon his familiar and get over with this entire thing!
"I might as well just kill you… Like I always do with any pesky bastard that get through our lives… Now, die!" she roared, opening her jaws, the man struggled, releasing an explosive shockwave of shadows towards her!
BOOM!
"Unngh?!"
Miranda was thrown a few meters back, as she saw the man's body being covered in shadows. His wounds were slowly regenerating back, even his bones! This was a mysterious shadow-attribute healing spell from all things! Miranda only looked at this with disbelief over the situation. She wasn't going to let him go easily!
"I won't let you go easily! Die already!" she roared, jumping over him, and crushing him with the weight of her new body!
BOOOOMMM!!!
"Uuuauaggh…!!!"
The man's internal organs were crushed horrendously, as he began to vomit mouthfuls of blood constantly. He looked at the giant's snake's might, as his eyes began to flicker in horror. He swallowed saliva as his eyes started to cry. He couldn't believe his own snake had betrayed him!
Yes, the idiot still believed it was his own snake!
"Aghhh! No! S-Stop!"
"ROAR!"
Miranda monstrously opened her jaws and grabbed the man's head with it, pulling it back! The strength of the snake's jaws were more than enough to pull back the entire head off in an instant! The gory scene didn't stop there, as a fountain of blood came out!
CRASH!
The blood began to splatter all over the place, and Miranda devoured the head just for the sake of it.
She looked down at the corpse with a bit of surprise… this body was amazing! It was surprisingly easy to kill this bastard like this! Wow!
"I am strong in this body! Maybe my true strength lies within the corpses I can possess and not just my mold body alone… I never thought about it…" she considered.
"Awroooo!"
The shadow wolf suddenly dissipated the moment his master died, as the lunar dragon who was in a stalemate with this strong familiar was left finally to rest his exhaustion. He gasped for air, healing himself from the deadly wounds left behind, barely managing to live it off and tell the tale.
"You're okay?" asked Miranda, the lunar dragon looked at the snake in surprise.
"Y-You're that girl? You're capable of possesing corpses?" he asked.
"Kind of… it's a bit of a peculiar power." she said.
"Amazing! You're indeed amazing… Ugh…" sighed the lunar dragon, rather tired.
