Veronica glanced at the Young harpy man struggle to remain his calmness, throwing attacks and spells towards her like a raging kid.

​​

"You're two lives behind if you think that you can even put a fight against me, insolent boy!" said Veronica, smiling with confidence as she enhanced her entire metallic body with intense electric waves, flashing towards the harpy man through Charge combined with her Electrify Skill, making it seem as if she were made entirely out of thunder!

FLASH!

"Don't… Don't DARE LAUGH AT ME!!!" roared Sevapheso, the claws within his winds grew at a monstrous size to grab on his axe with better precision, as his presence exuded an air of dread and undying bloodthirst.

"GYAHAHA!"

"DIE FOR OUR LORD!"

"DIE, FIEND!"

Monsters made entirely out of phantom emerged from the phantasmal gate behind the young harpy man, as they raised their phantom weapons and flew towards Veronica with great speed and voracious expressions.

"Pesky illusions are no match for me!" said Veronica, as she raised her giant metallic arms, which each finger had the shape of axes and spears!

"Combo Technique: Spectral Metallic Weapon Claws!"

Flash!

Suddenly, Veronica's arms began to move to an immensely fast speed, something that should not be possible for someone entirely made out of metal!

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

Her gigantic arms released countless slashes of phantasmagoric and abyssal energy, slashing through all of the phantom monsters within seconds as they shrieked in agony over their incredibly quick end!

"GRRYYAAAA!"

"IMPOSSIBLE!"

"UUNNGH…!"

Sevapheso glanced with rage, frustration, and disbelief as his phantom monsters were destroyed within seconds! His claws raised high as his phantasmal axe began to exude powerful energy.

Flash!

"Agghhh! Damn it! You fiend!!! Get off my way! I will… I will make sure to kill Desephise!!! Purgatory Axe of Death! Slashing Catastrophe!!!"

Sevapheso's axe began to roar as if it had taken the life of its own, flashing, and slashing countless times through the air, reaching Veronica in a split of a second!

"Oh?! Not bad! But also… not enough! Combo Technique: Phantasmal Fire Spear Rain!"

Veronica suddenly expanded her metallic body as if she were embracing the air, her metallic body suddenly showed countless spears coated in her abyssal phantom, roaring and flashing towards Sevapheso's sight!

"What the…?! What the hell is that?!" Sevapheso's roared in disbelief, as his charge suddenly stopped, his axe roared in anger over his cowardly, as it kept charging towards Veronica, the spears reached it as they began to impale the living weapon countlessly!

Clash! Clash! Clash! Clash! Clash!

"ROOAARRR…!"

"Receive my deadly embrace!" laughed Veronica, impaling the phantasmagoric creature that began to possess Sevapheso's body and consciousness!

Due to his enormous talent and the power of his own Phantasmagoric Aura, coupled with his great mental weakness, the young harpy man slowly began to develop an alter ego within his own aura, a monstrous phantom creature that took over his consciousness as it enhanced his negative emotions and drained his life out of his body!

Veronica laughed as she directed such attacks towards this fiend in specific!

"GROOOOWL!"

The Phantasmagoric Behemoth began to expand around the axe, shaping it into a monstrous metallic creature whose Sevapheso was not capable of controlling, it rushed towards Veronica with enormous momentum as it clashed towards her with the powerful strength of a furious beast!

CLASH!

"NNGGHH… NNGHAAAAAHHHHH…! HATE…! HATE! DIE, DIE!" roared the young harpy man as his body began to be covered more and the phantom, his emotions began to explode and chaotically destroy his own mind!

"You're such an edgy kid! But do not worry, I'll beat this thing for you!" laughed Veronica as she flashed towards the metallic beast, the beast raised its paws as it directed them towards her, the claws within the paws moved at an immense speed as it reached the ground, clashing it with a loud explosion!

"Accursed Shield Technique, Phantom Counter!"

CLASH!

FLASH!

"GRRR…?!"

Veronica released a powerful shield technique, shielding herself from the attack in a flash of an instant, while releasing another shield technique straight away, Phantom Counter!

Phantom Counter was a powerful ability that she had designed by combining the effects of her Abyssal Soul that contained the ability to reflect effects or powers, she merged them through her soul and phantom directly into her shield techniques, creating the ability to slightly counter back the damage dealt into her shield!

The metallic phantom beast faltered as a sudden wave of power clashed upon it, blowing it away through the air!

BOOM!

"G-GROOWL?!"

The beast was left startled! It flew through the air as if it were a mere toy and fell into the ground as if nothing! Just who this thing through it was to dare do such a thing to it?!

"GRRAAAAAA!" roared the metallic beast, raising once again as it changed its shape into a metallic slime!

"What the? This thing is surprising me even more now… Just what is this?!" asked Veronica in surprise and excitement, as she released a grin and inspected the creature through her Appraisal for a small glimpse of time.

The information given to her showed that the creature named 'Synthetic Metallic Slime Undead Golem', was a Rank 10 monster that was disguised as the axe that Sevapheso was using!

The malicious Necromancer could not take away Veronica's sight from his mind since the moment he put his eyes into her through the records into his Phantom Flames, he was suddenly inspired by that moment!

Using various resources and his powerful spells as a former god that brought chaos to the world in the past, he designed a new Undead monster! A synthetic being, part undead, part slime, and part golem!

"Amazing… Nice, I just wanted to see what I could absorb, and you just appear right in front of me!" laughed Veronica, as the monstrous metallic phantom beast became liquid metal and jumped over the raging Sevapheso.

Feeling offended by Veronica's constant jokes, the creature began to parasitize Sevapheso while merging with the Phantasmagoric Aura of the young harpy man, as if it were a perfect match, the aura and the monster became one, covering Sevapheso completely!

"GGGGRAAAAAAAHHH! DIE… DIE! FOR OUR LORD! ALL SHALL PERISH!"

"Your lord? I am going to beat the crap out of your lord after I deal with you!" laughed Veronica.

"GGRRRR! Stop spouting blasphemies, you damned anomaly!!!"

Sevapheso's mind was taken completely by his own Phantasmagoric Aura and the Metallic Synthetic Slime Undead Golem, the perfect match that the Necromancer had already foreseen!

Indeed, this raging young harpy man was one of the Necromancer's trump cards!

Fueled by rage and frustration, fueled by the dread of his beloved having been taken away from him, and exuding endless talent, this boy was the perfect subject for his first prototype of a new type of beast similar to Veronica in both nature and power!

Sevapheso now having converted into a giant metallic demon, moved towards Veronica with an enormous speed, raising its claws and shaping them into giant axes!

"Spectral Axe Claws! Purgatory Flames Enhancement! Gate of Death!"

FLASH!

Sevapheso's entire body was shrouded in phantasmal blue flame sin an instant, as his axe claws reached Veronica within an instant, the movements of his entire body and the strength he exuded were clearly superior to what he had previously showcased! It was as if he was a completely different being now!

"Amazing! But can you do this, faker?! Fortress Form!"

BOOM!

Sevapheso's powerful attacks reached Veronica within an instant, clashing against her with immense strength akin to a beast of Rank 10!

However!

"Huh?! What… WHAT?!"

Sevapheso was left once again in disbelief and startled about what had unfolded in front of him!

His claws were made into debris as Veronica had disappeared, and what had emerged from within the smoke was a gigantic gothic-styled fortress made out of pure black metal!

"Done? Now's my turn!" laughed Veronica, as the enormous fortress of metal that was her body shapeshifted, acquiring spider-like legs and enormous crab-like claws!"

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

"NNGHHH?! NGAAAHH!"

The claws were charged with immense amounts of electricity, flashing with roaring volts as they began to unleash a powerful onslaught of attacks, each claw charging with all of the strength and weight that the enormous fortress had!

And to boot it all, her Phantom and her Abyssal Soul merged together, entangling her claws as they constantly shapeshifted into weapons of all types! Swords, Axes, Spears, and enormous stingers!

Clash! Clash! Clash! Clash!

Veronica's attacks began to fall like a rain of meteors over the young harpy man and the monsters taking over his frail body, the phantasmagoric aura he produced was simply not enough, let alone the dark winds and the measly techniques within his arsenal!

"NNGGHHAAAAH! No… NO! I MUST… KILL! KILL, KILL, KILL!"

BOOM!

Suddenly, Sevapheso was flattened like a pancake by Veronica's entire body, the gigantic fortress made of metal fell over its entire body! Tons of weight falling over the young's man!

"Just shut up! Don't worry, I'll revive you afterward!" said Veronica.

"GGGRRRRRRRYAAAAA! NO…! NOOO…!"

Flash!

However, against Veronica's beliefs, Sevapheso's' entire body began to restructure itself as the Phantasmagoric Aura grew bigger, like freezing blue flames that covered the entire battlefield.

The many warriors in the surroundings glanced at the scene with awe!

"For my lord… for my LORD!!!"

Veronica suddenly sensed that Sevapheso had just died, but right afterward, his strength skyrocketed!

The Phantasmagoric Aura suddenly evolved into a Domain of freezing purgatory flames, while the metallic beasts liquid metal body expanded widely, creating gigantic and sharp claws and jaws!

"Oh? You're packing more than a punch, are you not?"
