Chapter 2254 The Strongest Recessed

-----

"MOVE ASIDE!"

Demiurgus roared furiously the second he saw over a hundred Undead overflowing with Cosmic Energies right in front of him. He rushed towards Redgaria while flying at high speeds, his long, skeletal arms, wrapped tightly on red skin opened, revealing yellow eyes on the palms of his hands.

"[Abyssal Blood Soul]!"

From his eyes, beams of Abyssal Blood Soul powered by his Cosmic Domain with incredible precision and mastery were fired. Redgaria rapidly moved aside from the scene with his enhanced speed and stats after fusing his Undead into his body as skeleton armor.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

His Undead, which could easily resist most blows from cosmic entities at least once, were being disintegrated with no resistance at all, his crimson eyes widened before a huge hand made of Ethereal Crimson Blood appeared above him.

"What?"

BAAAM!

Redgaria rapidly summoned his Maxima Summon in that very moment of desperation, as a Giant Skeleton Dragon- or well, a Bone Drakon, overflowing with Nether and Cosmic Energies appeared out of his own shadows, clashing against the giant hand of blood and destroying it.

"You've finally called for my assistance again, master," the Bone Drakon talked with a feminine voice.

This was Redgaria's only Maxima Summon and his strongest summoned undead creature ever. He usually didn't bring him out all the time, as he preferred to sharpen his skills using his Cosmic Necromancy before asking for the help of this Maxima Summon in specific.

The Drakon were species of dragon-like Maxima Summons that originated from the Maxima Universe. Redgaria's summon originated from a "Graveyard Planet" within the distant Universe.

"I don't call you all the time because you're always asking for exorbitant amounts of Nether Energy as compensation, Phantasmas," Redgaria said. "But I guess that doesn't really matter anymore… This guy's not going down easily."

The Drakon's true name was Phantasmas, which Redgaria learned much later once his bond with her strengthened. The previous name she gave him "Bon" was just a pun to mess with him.

"I am well aware, that's a monster from another Universe, huh? I am interested in testing my recently evolved powers against it…" Phantasmas swung her giant bony claws, cutting through Demiurgus giant Abyssal Blood Soul Hand.

BOOOM!

"What is that thing?!" Demiurgus looked at the skeletal creature. "A Dracolich? No…! That energy, Summoning Dao Particles?! This bastard is in the possession of the coveted Dao of Summoning?!"

"Hey, don't get too distracted!"

FLASH!

"Wha…?!"

Demiurgus eyes opened wide below his face-covering veil, as he saw Phantasmas enormous frame of over fifty meters of height appearing behind him.

He was barely able to see what happened. The Bone Drakon turned completely into phantasmal, non-tangible energies, and directly moved through him to appear behind.

Not only passing through him made Demiurgus felt weaker out of the sudden, as his stats lowered due to the Cosmic Phantasmal Essence that attacked his soul, but Phantasmas immediately spun her bony body.

Her giant tail came rushing down, as the Recessed quickly released an aura of Abyssal Blood Soul, space was distorted, and he disappeared from the scene.

CLASH!

"What?"

Phantasmas looked to her left side, noticing Demiurgus had teleported a short distance!

"Doesn't he control the element of blood?! How did he teleport?" Redgaria asked to himself, a second before he unleashed a wave of Undead against Demiurgus.

"RAAAH!"

The furious Recessed revealed six crimson eyes below his veil, as all of them gathered his strange energies and fired deadly beams. Hundreds of Undead exploded and were disintegrated instantly. Redgaria was being chased by the beams as he constantly flew around.

"Phantasmas, round him up again!"

"Alright!"

Phantasmas quickly turned into her ghost form and rushed towards Demiurgus. The Recessed wasn't dumb though, that trick wasn't going to work a second time. He quickly opened a magic circle-like formation out of the blood bleeding from the eyes of his hands.

"[Abyssal Blood Soul Circle]"

FLASH!

In a second, Phantasmas found herself restrained as the crimson circle appeared around her body, forcefully transforming her back into her bony form.

"W-What in the…?!"

"[Abyssal Blood Soul Detonation]"

The red circle wrapped around Phantasmas quickly lit up with red light, before detonating into a loud, fiery explosion that engulfed her on soul, blood, space, and cosmic attribute flames.

BOOOM!

"ARGHH…!"

Phantasmas barely survived that, although half her body was turned into ashes. Redgaria quickly moved to heal her.

"[Healing Nether Light]!"

FLASH!

A black light encompassed her body, as her bones started regrowing quickly. However, as Redgaria distracted himself trying to keep his Maxima Summon alive…

"So you're the summoner, right? As long as you die, then I'll be able to escape."

"Ah!"

Redgaria lowered his guard, Demiurgus appeared again using his strange short-range teleportation, his eyes firing a dozen beams at him.

"Die."

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

"Argh… Eh?!"

Redgaria was fully preparing himself to die in that moment, but his summon, Phantasmas, moved her regenerating body towards him, Redgaria saw as her entire body disintegrated, turning into ashes.

The only remaining piece was her bony claw, which she used to grab him and throw him away, detaching it from her body.

"P-PHANTASMAS!!!"

Despite all he had gone through, and despite having become a cold necromancer that did not care about his summons, Phantasmas, to him, was different.

She was someone from another universe, someone he summoned to help him, over time they opened up with one another, and Redgaria learned bout her past, just as he did of her own.

He learned she was an exiled Drakon, betrayed by her corrupt siblings, she was then chased and killed because of her origins, a bastard child of the Drakon King of Darkness.

Yet, in her death, she cursed the world and those she hated the most. And when she died, the deserted world where she was left behind also corroded.

It became a Graveyard World, a rare phenomenon where an entire world becomes full of Nether, Undead appear everywhere, and it becomes devoid of all life.

Phantasmas lived alone in this world, a prison of her own making, resentful and full of frustration and repressed anger.

Redgaria was perhaps the only friend she ever made through her whole life.

And now…

"Thank you for your friendship, master…"

Her voice echoed behind his ears, as her entire body disappeared.

"NO!"
