"Then let us go with you, Sacred Beast!"
"Please, we want to help too!"
"Even if our lives can stop that monster for a second…"
"That would still be more than enough!"
The warriors led by Tyrannus protested, telling Emerald to take them with him. The young Wind Dragon was surprised they were so stubborn.
"But…!" He was going to say the same thing Drake told to them, something that would have only made him frustrated if it was directed to him.
"We will fight as one, Sacred Beast!" Tyrannus roared. "Please, let us give you our strength!"
"You guys keep calling me Sacred Beast…" Emerald laughed. "Name's Emerald!"
His Aura kept growing larger as he nodded, the winds and lightning surrounding his body suddenly started to react to the will of Tyrannus and his warriors.
"Emerald, please, let us accompany you!"
Tyrannus roared once more, his Aura erupting from his body, combining with the power of his weapons and armor.
The same happened with the other warriors, it felt as if something within them was trying to communicate with Emerald.
The power dwelling within them…
"You guys are as stubborn as I am- Ah!"
Emerald's eyes opened wide once he sensed his Divinity reacting to their powers, fusing, converging together…
The power of the Heaven's Winds was much stronger and complex than Emerald or even his whole family could have ever thought.
"Are you willing to give me your strength, Tyrannus, everyone?"
"We are!"
"Then…!"
The emerald-colored winds emerging from the wind dragon's body converged with the brave warriors.
FLAAASH!
…
RUMBLE!
The skies of the Dream Dungeon continued to distort due to the endless influx of Demonic Energy. Pandemonium mutated this power and made it into his own.
"With this power… You simply can't stop me anymore!"
Filled with his own ego, he thought of himself invincible. The Demonic Nightmare Forces continued to combine with his abilities, summoning Demonic Nightmare Beasts.
And above all, a part of his consciousness was already fusing with the area he had infected, summoning countless crimson eyes and titanic black tentacles.
Now, it was no longer easy to get close to him!
"Ugh, papa, the monsters never end!"
Kate was panicking as her mechanical beasts were being overwhelmed, her whole reserve was already used, and the ones left behind were constantly fusing and dying over and over again.
"Hahhh… Ugh… I'm getting tired…"
Benladra was growing dizzier because she had been overusing Mana and Divine Power for too long and was still a very young and developing Dragon.
Even as strong as her Heavenly Magic was against the Demonic Monsters, it was becoming weaker as she grew tired.
Drake, Benladann and Miranda continued fighting to their very best, protecting their two children while slowly advancing across the army of Demonic Nightmare Beasts.
Both looked terribly exhausted already too, things started to look grim.
"Do I have to destroy the Dream Dungeon then?" Wondered Drake. "But that'll free him!"
It's not that he was completely cornered. He could attempt to destroy the Dream Dungeon, sacrificing a huge source of divine materials and power, in an attempt to destroy Pandemonium.
This would help him escape with his family and had a chance to succeed… However, Pandemonium was incredibly tough.
So tough Drake was almost sure he would survive somehow, crawl out of the explosion, and begin rampaging the village up above.
There were other strategies in mind too, but all of them seemed to have only a low chance of success, he needed some external force, a distraction!
"I think the only option is the one you thought about." Belle spoke to Drake through their connection.
"Master, whatever decision you take, we will be there for you." Gabriel said.
"Pandemonium is too strong, we are running out of options, master." Rose, the Vampiress Spirit spoke.
Even with their powerful Divine Spiritual Energies coursing through his body, Drake was already getting tired… His Soul had been badly hurt, and it would take a while for it to fully recover.
He couldn't use Divinity Absorption either. He had tried it before against a Demonic Being, it ended backfiring on him.
This was because this power was limited to Divinity, and Demonic Beings had no Divinity, but Infernal Power, it would simply poison his body and not give him anything!
He remembered that he would suffer something similar whenever he tried to use it on Chaotic Beings, harming him instead of helping him absorb their powers.
His greatest trump card was useless against Pandemonium.
"Screw this, I'll-"
FLUOOOOSH!
However, in the last second when Drake was already about to use the Dream Dungeon as a weapon, a sudden tremor across the skies happened.
A gigantic mass of green light surged, descending rapidly across the black clouds, and purifying them!
Endless gusts of rapidly spiraling golden and green winds destroyed the Demonic Nightmare Energy with ease.
"What's that?!"
Benladann and Miranda were utterly shocked as they saw what was coming for Pandemonium!
They could only describe it as a gigantic green and golden phoenix, with feathers, claws, and beak made out of gold and green divine metal.
It possessed an enormous Divine Aura, and it didn't have just a single Aura, but several dozens of powerful Auras combined together!
"That's… No way! Is that Emerald?!"
Not even Drake could believe it at first! Something completely out of his wildest dreams had showed up, and it was nobody else than Emerald and…
"Tyrannus and his warriors?! Their souls and divinities, they have become one!" Benladann and Miranda said.
"He resembles that sacred beast on the murals the lizardmen carved…" Drake realized. "Is this why they called Emerald "Sacred Beast"? Is it because he resembled some sort of divine being they prayed to?"
"RAAAAHHH!"
The gigantic bird moved at lightning speed, clashing against Pandemonium's endlessly growing Demonic Nightmare Domain and destroying it with his sharp, metallic wings!
"[Divine Sacred Wind Beast Arts]: [Evil-Tearing Wing Blades]!"
SLAASH! SLAASH! SLAASH! SLAASH! SLAASH!
An endless barrage of slashing attacks tore apart Pandemonium's Domain in mere seconds, holding within the power of several souls and divinities becoming one.
"Y-You…?! Who are you?!"
Pandemonium panicked, only to be greeted by two powerful kicks on his face!
"I am the Sacred Beast!"
CRAASH! CRAASH! CRAASH! CRAAASSHH!!!
