A mass of dark red energies and crimson flames surged in the middle of the air, right below the metallic ceiling.
The metallic ceiling started to burn, turning black, flame spread everywhere, the entire hall was slowly turning into a burning inferno.
"W-What…?! What's happening?!"
Miranda was panicking, she thought things were finally going to be over…
"Dammit…"
However, Drake knew that this was a possibility, however, he was hoping that it wouldn't be the case.
"T-This is… this presence…!"
Benladann noticed that amidst the endless mass of dark red energies and crimson flames, the silhouette of a small child surged from within.
The hundreds of fragments from the Dungeon Core started floating around it, turning deep red and fusing with it, forming a new form, a new body.
"Yeah… Only a piece of him though."
Drake could notice that something within this dark red energy started to materialize, a lung, deep red, and covered on scales, with several yellow eyes covering it, and even a small jaw curling up.
It was beating as if it were a heart inside of the new body of red crystal, as it slowly glanced at everyone else, the new body was formed.
"I have to thank you for freeing me from that monster."
It spoke with a very familiar voice, albeit it sounded more childish this time.
"That damned man dared to use my body part to create this monstrosity… Oh well, it didn't end well for it, didn't it?"
With a devilish and mocking laughter, the red-colored crystal demon laughed, its energy was so potent it created a void around it that distorted the space of the Dream Dungeon…
"Pandemonium…"
The entity glanced at Drake with curious eyes.
"I don't know how you know my name but… I assume you're acquittanced with the rest of my body?"
"You're not getting out of here. We can't let a monster like you out... You will be the first one we'll take down for good."
"Hoh?"
TRUUUMMM…!
Pandemonium's body part seemed to become excited as it heard that from Drake, his Demonic Aura growing larger as it absorbed the leftover energy within the Dungeon Core Fragments!
"Then try it."
His crystal claws waved, as the same crystals everyone saw in those dreams of Jonathan's past life were summoned, spiraling around Pandemonium's body part and then firing themselves at everyone at an incredibly fast speed!
"He can manifest those Crystals that came out from the Quantum Gate?!" Drake thought for a split of a second.
The crimson-red crystal spears descended, as Drake quickly called for Belle and the rest of his Spirits, which flew into his body, a sea of countless smaller spirts he manifested through Spirit Creation appeared around him as well.
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
At the same time, Pandemonium's Body Part attacks reached him and everyone else behind him, huge explosions of demonic flames that launched crystal pieces everywhere covered the whole area.
The entire hall started breaking apart as the entire Dream Dungeon was beginning to divide and distort itself by the sheer power of Pandemonium's Body Part.
RUMBLE!
"Looks like you were all bark and no bite." He said. "What a pity… Oh well, this works either way! I'll destroy this Dream Dungeon and rejoin with my Body and- Huh?!"
However, his thought process was quickly interrupted as he noticed his attacks had not harmed anybody except Drake himself, whose entire body had grown ten times as large now, no longer restricted by the hall's size as it had been destroyed, and they were now floating in an endless chaotic realm of distorted and fragmented dreams…
His body appearance had changed as he had combined his body and soul with his Spirits, his scales became golden, with rainbow linings, his horns grew all across his single head and long neck, and he now had seven eyes, each one glowing with a different color.
His wings were also translucent, shining with rainbow colors and with the paintings of huge eyes in the middle of them. At the end of these golden wings, there were enormous and sharp claws.
He only had two arms now, not six, but they were tremendously big and muscular, covered on armor-like golden and rainbow scales.
"W-What the…?! What is that form?!" Pandemonium muttered. "And why is he… fine?!"
Covering Drake's body, there were the crystals Pandemonium had fired, alongside all the demonic flames burning his scales… However, he seemed fine. The crystals, capable of infecting things and spreading across people's bodies like cancer were not working properly.
"Why is it not working?! My crystals… I copied them from those weird dreams, they had such a good compatibility with my demonic energy!" The Demon thought. "Oi, what the hell are you?"
He didn't had memories of meeting Drake before unlike the other Body Part, they didn't shared memories until they combined together after all.
However, Drake only smiled at the silence of his friends and family, his Divinity overflowing with the power of all his Divine Spirits…
"So it is as I thought… He's merely absorbing the powers of the Dream Dungeon and using its memories to enhance the power of his magic. These crystals are not the real deal, they're merely copies using the power of the Dungeon Core and his own Body Part's Demonic Energy!"
After all, this Dungeon Core was also what had replicated those Crystals from the Quantum Gate, in cooperation with the Dream Dungeon's powers.
In theory, it was all just a manifestation of a Dream… And now that he didn't have to worry over the Dream braking down and stopping them from reaching Test Subject-04…
There was nothing holding him back!
Crack, crack…
CRASH!
The crystals started falling from his body one after another, as Drake's almighty body started to absorb the power of the Dream Dungeon itself…
FLUOOOOSH!
"It seems you've come to a terrible misunderstanding." He spoke. "This Dream Dungeon… It is MY domain, Pandemonium."
Suddenly, a gigantic fist reached Pandemonium, the demon was unable to dodge as the Dream Dungeon itself distorted around his body, inhibiting his rapid reaction!
"What?!"
BAAAAAMMMM!!!
