Frank glanced at the magic that the Goblin King unleashed, which resembled that of the Oni he once fought alongside Matsuo, Abyss Magic! ​​

Abyss Magic seemed to be related to Dark and Shadow Magic, or some kind of high leveled version of it of sorts, which was magic that delved into the darkness within the abyss of existence, perhaps even related to the void of all reality.

Users of Abyss Magic could even distort space by conjuring it, but it came at the cost of a lot of Mana!

However, even one single spell could bring imminent destruction, even to the souls of those it impacted!

Frank remembered having resisted it thanks to Matsuo's high proficiency in Holy Light Magic and his constant mana regeneration, but Matsuo was not here to help him now!

He was alone…

…

"No, I am not alone…" thought Frank, raising his hands.

Suddenly, he unleashed something within his very soul, which had already reached the Spiritual Soul Realm of Soul Cultivation!

This power that he acquired after fusing with the Dragon's Orb, he evolved and acquired a power even deeper within him!

A Domain!

He had not been using it because he wanted to practice more with it, but now, he had no choice, he knew that this could help him!

Frank embraced his allies with his Shadows, and pulled them inside his greater version of Shadow Storage named Shadow Void Storage, and then, unleashed his Domain!

By activating the Wrathful and Gluttonous Dracolich Progenitor Domain Skill, he unleashed a Domain of Death, Phantoms, and Darkness, fighting back against the incessant, space-distorting wave of abyssal darkness unleashed by the Goblin King!

The Goblin King glanced at Frank with awe!

"W-What?! It is resisting my magic?! Champion, hit it!" roared the Goblin King, as he saw the darkness he used to envelop Frank's party begin to tremble as if weakening, Frank's Domain that he acquired after becoming a Dracolich possessed the traits of Death, Devil, Dark, and Void Magic, eroding even the abyssal darkness produced by the Goblin King's Abyss Magic!

Flash!

"GRUUUOOOOOOHHH…!"

The Goblin Champion roared loudly, as Frank managed to completely destroy the enormous wave of abyssal darkness conjured by the Goblin King, only for him to meet a gigantic mace falling from the sky directly towards him!

"Soul Materialization!"

FLASH!

Frank combined his Domain with his Soul, and used the Soul Materialization Skill to shape and materialize his soul like a furious shadow dragon, resisting the Goblin Champion's mace with gigantic claws!

CLASH!

"GRRRUOOHH…?!" asked the Goblin Champion in complete disbelief, as Frank suddenly leaped towards the air, his chest shining brightly with eerie blue light, his Void Mana Core was channeling his power!

"Abyss Magic, Abyssal Cannon!" roared the Goblin King, firing a powerful cannon of Abyssal Magic towards Frank, as Darkness took ahold of his vision.

However, Frank only smiled, this was… exhilarating!

Unlike in that time, he was now… strong!

Strong enough to have a chance even against such beings… he simply needed the will to do so!

BOOM!

The cannon of abyssal darkness impacted Frank's entire body, however…!

FLASH!

Just as it hit him, his entire body exploded in power!

As a sudden mutation began to occur all over his body!

Bones began to surge one after another out of his very flesh, shaping themselves as large limbs, several ribs emerged, covering him entirely!

An enormous bony neck emerged out of such mass of bones, large wings made of bone, gigantic bony claws and legs, and a long and sharp spear-shaped tail!

All made of white bones and covered in rotting flesh and scales… the eyes of the dragon-shaped monstrosity gleamed with eerie crimson red light!

"W-What… This is not… a human!" cried the Goblin King, as he glanced at Frank's transformation!

Frank had not used this transformation up until now because it was stated within the Skill that it would slowly warp his mind and make him insane, but in exchange for that, he would receive an immense power boost and become the embodiment of a Dracolich!

His size was now towering over 12 meters, he was… even larger than the Goblin Champion!

Frank coated his entire body with Purgatory Flames, his Soul, and his Domain, forming a protective coating of phantasmal flames!

His mouth suddenly opened, as an enormous breath attack made of these flames emerged from it, like a powerful cannon, it impacted against the Goblin King's Abyss Cannon, breaking it apart into a loud magical explosion, and reaching him and the Goblin Champion!

"ABYSSAL SHIELD!" cried the Goblin King, jumping off the Goblin Champion and protecting himself with a powerful abyssal shield, however, the Goblin Champion could only use his fists to resist the attack, as he roared loudly, activating the magic of his Rank 2 Mana Core!

And the Goblin's Champion Magic was… Fire Magic!

FLASH!

"GRUUUUUUUUOOOOOOHHH… FLAME BURST!" roared the Goblin Champion, as he conjured a simple yet powerful Fire Attribute Spell, exploding with blazing flames all around, resisting part of Frank's breath attack, but ultimately being overwhelmed by it nonetheless, being thrown into the ground, as a loud explosion unfolded afterward!

BOOM!

The enormous body of the Goblin Champion fell into the ground, as his mace was sent flying away.

Frank who was barely resisting the urge to become a crazed undead beast, leaped towards the Goblin Champion to quickly finish him off!

He used his claws, coating them with his Domain, Soul, and Magic, and unleashing powerful slashing attacks that unleashed phantasmal flames that consumed and eroded souls!

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

Large pieces of flesh began to fly around, as the soul of the Goblin Champion began to be ripped apart!

"GRRAAAAAAHHH! FLAME EXPLOSION!" roared the Goblin Champion, conjuring Flame Explosion, an extremely powerful explosion-based spell, which simply put, unleashed an enormous explosion of flames over Frank's draconic head, which was about to bite the Goblin Champion's face!

BOOM!

"GROOOOOWL…!"

Frank roared in pain as his entire neck and head were blown into bits, green and purple blood spurting out of it!

"Gahaha! I won- EH?!"

However, the Goblin Champion was surprised, as Frank's Dracolich neck and head simply began to regrow back!

His main body was in fact within the powerful ribcage of the Dracolich, as its core!

As long as such an area was not destroyed, he would be able to recover back!

"GRAAAAAA…!" cried the Goblin Champion, as the bony claws of Frank stabbed deeply into his chest, breaking apart the flesh as blood began to gush out like a fountain!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

The Goblin Champion roared valiantly, as he coated himself in flames and punched Frank's entire body with a blazing fist, moving him away as his gigantic bony body fell into the floor, hitting the nearby wall!

BOOM!

"GRUUUUOOOOOHHH!"

The Goblin Champion roared, he was covered in blood and terrible wounds, yet his resiliency was immense!

His eyes blazed with red flames, as he ran towards Frank with all of his might!

"FLAME BURST! FLAME EXPLOSION!"

His flames condensed over his fists, as he hit Frank's body with all of his might, unleashing a powerful explosion of flames!

BOOM!

Frank roared in anger, resisting the intense flames as he unleashed his Soul and Domain, combining it with his magic, as countless spears of blazing purgatory flames, nether ice, void darkness, and black light emerged, reaching the Goblin Champion, and exploding all over his body!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

"UNNGRRAAAHHH…!"

The Goblin Champion groaned in pain, falling into the ground as several parts of his body were blown away into pieces.

However, Frank was not any better, most of his body had been torn apart, and was slowly regenerating!

Suddenly, Franks's main body blasted out of the bony corpse, nearing the Goblin Champion on his human form!

"EVERYONE, NOW!!!" he roared, as his shadows expanded into the air, and all of the Monarchs of Unity and the Storm Chasers emerged from within the shadow, unleashing all the powerful spells of magic that they had been charging this whole time!

The Goblin Champion glared at this with despair, as he gritted his teeth and raised his palms!

"YOU WILL GO DOWN WITH MEEEE…! FLAME EXPLOSION!"

FLASH!

Even more, flames emerged from the Goblin Champion, as they neared all of the attacks that Frank's friends showered on him, an enormous explosion unfolded, so strong that flames and all other attributes fired by the Monarchs of Unity and the Storm Chasers combined together into an unstable chaotic storm!

Frank quickly transformed once more into a Dracolich, conjuring several Void Absorption Barriers, and protecting his allies by putting them inside of his shadows hurriedly!

BOOM!

Frank felt as his Dracolich body quickly exploded into pieces! Even with all of his magic resistance, the power of the magic storm was too much!

"Dracolich Transformation! Dracolich Transformation! Dracolich Transformation!"

Frank kept conjuring Dracolich Transformation over and over again, producing new bodies to shield himself!

His soul and Mana were being exhausted constantly, but he needs to survive!

…

Frank opened his eyes, as he found himself buried in bones.

Quickly leaping out, he glanced at his surroundings, the corpse of the Goblin Champion laid there, his entire body was burned!

"It seems that… we defeated it… Ungh…!" he muttered, freeing his allies from his shadows as Kamei immediately went towards her brother.

"Nii-sama! Let me heal you!" said Kamei.

"No, I am fine… this pain is a thing of the soul…" said Frank.

"Boy, look!" said Gwendolyn in surprise, as Frank realized that the Goblin King was not present in this fight!

Suddenly, a small goblin emerged atop the Goblin Champion, as he extracted his Mana Core and… devoured it!

FLASH!

"GYAHAHAHA! FINALLY!" laughed the Goblin King, as his Mana Aura suddenly changed… in quality altogether!

"This is… No…!" cried Grandwing.

"Rank 3…" muttered Melodia.
