Necron felt the war above the ground as he hurriedly rushed with all the materials he had in hand, quickly conjuring a large series of runes all inside the dungeon, as enormous magic circles appeared inside a large hall…

Clash!

He entered the hall hurriedly, as he found the dragon he had sealed long ago here, the Rank 6 Dark Dragon, with an appearance similar to a snake!

The dragon furiously glanced back at Necron, immediately recognizing him!

"Y-Youuu! YOU BASTARD…!" What have you come here for?!" he asked while showing off his fangs, although he could not move.

"What have I come? I have come to finally put you to good use, you're my material, after all, I have kept you alive this whole time so I can finally use your body to form the perfect vessel!" laughed Necron.

"A material?! Me?! How dare you! You damn demon! Curse your bloodline! Curse your entire race!" roared the dragon, as Necron began to leave many materials all around the dragon, over many magic circles, while the dragon itself was suddenly shrouded in thousands of runes!

These runes were the very same that made up the seal he has been trapped into for generations!

His entire mind raged with wrath, he couldn't believe his life was coming to such a bitter end!

"GAHAHAHA! Even without the Tree of Rebirth, it should be good enough to make a durable body that can live a few thousands of years, good enough to do everything I need to do!" laughed Necron, depositing his crystal ball over another magic circle, alongside the Jewel of Eternal Life, as everything was finally activated!

FLASH!

Darkness began to take over everything, as Necron heard the roars of the anger of the Dark Dragon!

His Soul was quickly absorbed by the many materials, which merged with the Dragon's entire body, alongside many other artifacts of all kinds, artifacts he had made long ago specifically for his new and upgraded body!

"UGRRAAAAHH…! Curse you, Necronnnnnn…!"

The Dragon gave a last roar of agony as his entire body was merely used as a material for Necron's malicious plans!

"Hahahahaha! It is all over for you!" laughed Necron.

However… right in the middle of the formation…!

BOOOOOOMMM!!!

An enormous explosion happened, and the entire underground area was beginning to fall apart completely!

Several presences emerged, flying downwards while being led by someone undoubtedly strong, the one that Necron feared the most had come faster than he thought!

"Am I interrupting something important by any chance?" asked Frank, hitting the door open with his pure strength, and interrupting him while he was obtaining a new body!

"Damn it!" cried Necron, as Frank quickly flashed towards the materials fusing, and detected the Jewel of Eternal Life there!

He extended his soul using all of his powers, as a grotesque claw of divine soul materialized grasped the jewel before it was to be fused with the body."

"Y-You can't do that! WAIT…! AGGH!"

CLASH!

Frank recovered the Jewel as he quickly moved it to his Inventory!

However, another explosion happened, as Necron's transformation failed!

BOOOM!!!

Frank and everyone else flew away from the underground, as they saw large boulders burying Necron.

"Well, that was faster than we thought! All the lackeys we came across were easily dealt with by us so… Is it over?" asked Cathyl.

"I would like to think that but… Not yet!" said Frank.

CRASH!

Suddenly, a grotesque claw made of shadows, red flesh, scales, and more emerged out of the ground, grasping the floor and spreading darkness and shadows everywhere!

"This is not…! OVER YET!!! GRROOOAAARRR…!"

BOOM!

Suddenly, a gigantic, quadrupedal body exploded out of the ground, making the entirety of Westwind tremble!

Necron had managed to create a body, but it was grotesque and constantly melting and falling apart!

It was a gigantic, almost 30 meters tall quadrupedal being, with an enormous jaw filled with razor-sharp teeth, twelve crimson eyes, and purple-colored slime all over its body, alongside black fur, black and purple scales, and a long and bony tail with a sharp needle coated in poison.

It had large glowing spikes everywhere, and it exuded an enormous and thick shadow soul that extended everywhere around it, which released a toxic gas and slime over the floor.

Frank and everyone around him sensed the power of this thing… what Necron had become, already surpassing Rank 6 Initial Stage, quite possibly being into Peak Stage…

Flash!

Gwendolyn reached Frank in an instant as she glanced with concern at the beast that has surged.

"This thing… Frank, if it keeps walking, it will reach the rest of the city and destroy everything…!" said Gwendolyn.

"I know! Axitl, are things ready?" asked Frank, as within his Divine Realm, Axitl, Kamei, and Annabelle answered, as they were setting up a large magic circle all around the large Yggdrasil Sprout Tree!

"Yeah, the formation is ready… this technique we are going to use… Are you sure about it?" asked Axitl.

"Yes, I need all of your strength right now, I will move Necron outside of the city and fight it with all I have, so please, I am counting on all of you," said Frank, as he opened a portal, and everyone got inside the Divine Realm!

"Alright then!"

Everyone ran back to the Yggdrasil Sprout, sitting all around it, as they closed their eyes.

Their souls began to flow out of their bodies, extending like large golden seas, connecting to the tree and then… to Frank's soul and body!

FLASH!

Suddenly, the many magic circles around the Yggdrasil Sprout began to glow, activating a special spell, which enhanced the power of everyone's soul, even including Axitl soul!

And not only them, but even Ruby, Zhulong, and many others joined into this magic circle, offering their soul powers to Frank!

"Guided Soul Fusion!"

FLASH!

Activating the powerful Guided Soul Fusion Skill, which let Frank momentarily fuse his soul with anyone he had guided, alongside his natural connection with everyone's soul, Frank started to resonate with an even larger amount of power!

Frank's soul connected and momentarily fused with everyone else within his Divine Realm, his entire body exuded a divine aura of all the colors of the rainbow, as he quickly unleashed his other transformations, his skin turned pale white, his eyes crimson red, and horns began to grow over his head, alongside a long and scaled tail that ended in a spear made of bone, alongside that, a full black-colored bone armor surged over his body, and part of his hands was covered in black scales, each finger having long and bony claws.

"The Jewel… Give me the Jewel! THE JEWEL!!! GRROOOAAAARRRR…!"

As Necron was about to step over out of the Eastgrande property, Frank flew towards him like a flash of bright and dark colors!

Like a falling star, he left trails of colors and darkness everywhere he flew, reaching Necron and then unleashing his gigantic soul, shaping it as an enormous draconic leg!

"How about we move this out of the city, eh?" asked Frank cheekily, kicking Necron right into his face and throwing him into the air!

BOOOOOM!!!

"UNNNNGGGRRAAAAAGGHH…!"

His materialized soul kick was strong enough to completely blast into pieces Necron's head, throwing his body into the air!

FLASH!

Frank flashed near him with incredible speed, as he kicked it again, right into the outskirts of the city!

CLASH!

"Unnnnggrrraaaaggrr…!"

BOOM!
