FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
The Chaotic Plane Gates started closing at long last, one after the other consecutively, creating some sort of domino effect. Even the gigantic portal where the Abyssal Chaotic Beast King was coming from slowly closed completely, forcing the beast to roar in frustration as the two-dragon sister accomplished such a tremendous task!
Benladra swiftly exude an aura of holy light and purification into the skies and seas, purifying them from the miasma and slowly turning the skies and seas blue once more. At the same time as purifying the corrupted beasts and turning them back into normal sea monsters, which immediately fled into the ocean's depths.
"T-They did it…" Ruby sighed in relief.
"Is it over now?" Rakasha asked.
"I-I think so…" Ruby's mother sighed in relief.
The barrier above Aquarius immediately began to dissipate, as the Vampires sighed in relief and started flying down into the island's surface, alongside mostly everyone else.
Everyone started to celebrate as well, the end of this horror was finally here… It took everyone a while, but it was finally over. Stopping an otherworldly invasion was surely something they didn't thought they would be doing today when they woke up this morning…
However, Drake's fight in the depths continued, everyone saw Benladann and Miranda descend into the seas to assist him, but they were still worried.
Benladra and Kate were extremely exhausted, sighing in relief.
"Papa… Should we go help him?" Wondered Benladra.
"Nn! We should…!" Kate agreed. "And-"
"Aren't you two the cutest flying lizards I've seen in a while?" Wondered a mysterious, yet immediately familiar voice behind Benladra and Kate. "Your appearances… Truly remind me of your father."
"Huh?!"
"Eh…?"
CLAAAAASH!
Two enormous fists reached the dragon girls, punching them down into the sea in a single second. Their landing on the seas splashed away the waters and generated a tremendous shockwave.
SPLAAAAAASH!
Everyone else that had already landed in the island's shore to rest immediately put their eyes into the seas, seeing both of Drake's daughters being thrown down like ragdolls…
And then at what was floating in the skies. It was a group of four giant robots, mechanoids created through Greenwood's Technomancy and Divine Powers.
However, unlike the mass-produced models he had showed before, these entities seemed different. Much like the special Mechanical Chaos Dragon, these four were not just metal, but had fleshy tissue, hair, and living parts merged with mechanical ones.
They were something similar to cyborgs, but bigger, stronger, and with their core being the brain and soul of Unique Skill users that were brainwashed and merged into these mechanical abominations.
"It seems we've arrived just in time, fufu~" Laughed a female-looking cyborg, as tall as Benladra, with her body being purely purple and pink, she had the slight face of a human and sharp scales, her tail was that of a snake, and her legs and arms were long, thin, and sharp like needles, with long, red metallic hair waving by the wind.
"The portals are dealt with, and the Dragon King is not present… Everyone is tired, hehe…" The second cyborg was much smaller than the female, but seemed even swifter, with big wings and feathers resembling those of a gigantic bird monster, with the face of a bird as well, and huge cannons and guns spread across its body.
"It is perfect… Let's get this over with." The third cyborg was much bigger than the two combined, far above a hundred meters of height, it was a true titan, resembling a huge gorilla, with the face of a ferocious black metallic tiger. His two gigantic fists were strong enough to punch Benladra and Kate into the seas.
"Indeed, we've accomplished the perfect conditions for our plan." The voice of a familiar man spoke, commanding the rest. "Now concentrate. I'll hold on into the other pests with my drones."
And the fourth cyborg that spoke just now, seemed like their leader and mastermind behind it all, unlike the other three, his will wasn't his own as he was being controlled by someone that wasn't present, Greenwood.
His appearance was that of an enormous insect, a crossbreed between a butterfly and a fly, made completely out of metal and with gigantic, red colored eyes with several cameras, which quickly separated into individual drones, flying around the city in a mere second, and unifying their power, creating a divine barrier!
"A barrier?! And those golems…" Pekora muttered. "That damned Greenwood! This bastard's here again?!"
"He's been chasing us all this time…" Tisha sighed. "Is he ever going to leave us alone, for fuck's sake?!"
"But why is he putting on a barrier?!" Asked Hector, desperately trying to figure out the villain's intentions.
"Why, you ask?" Laughed Greenwood. "I am not just going to protect you from this battle or something, if you think that's the case… This is a special barrier, you see…"
Suddenly, the barrier slowly started to move… it started to push back inside the island, crossing across the seas and killing all sea life that was resting within with its lethal divine lasers.
FFSSSHHHH…!
"I-It is contracting?!" Ruby asked. "Ugh…! Y-You bastard! What are you planning to do?!"
"What am I planning to do?" Laughed Greenwood. "Don't worry, this is merely a test! I've come here to look for samples as well…" A smile surged in the bug-like cyborg.
It was very obvious, for some strange reason, he wanted to fight exclusively Benladra and Kate, and test his new creations in the process… this was all like a game for him.
If they managed to defeat him, they could destroy the drones and save the island. If they couldn't and were defeated, or took too much time… Well, everything might be destroyed.
"This fucking monster…" Ruby roared, attempting to step forward, but suddenly feeling too weakened, having spent all her Divine Power already. "Ugh…"
"Hehehe, just stay where you are!" The bird-like cyborg said.
SPLAAASH!
Benladra and Kate quickly surged out of the seas, reaching the skies in a mere second.
"Y-You! You're daddy's enemy!" Benladra quickly recognized that voice as well, her anger was quickly making her exude all her power around…
"Greenwood… Baddie." Kate said, her metallic eyes glaring at their foes.
"Oh, you're back! Very well then, you three, show me the result of my research…" Greenwood commanded his troops.
