Meanwhile, a few minutes ago while Drake was still fighting against the snake and its tamer, Benladann and Miranda were doing their best to fight as well, battling it off against snakes of their own and tamers of their own! The two other snakes, although a bit weaker than the other, were not weak in the general sense, and were still quite formidable!
Miranda looked at her adversary, the giant shadow snake and the other sect member atop it. these three snakes had showed up out of the forest when they were destroying shadow beasts, and seemed to be some sort of "final boss" after dealing with a lot of the shadow beasts.
The giant snake before her was as strong as Rank 4… although she was part of Benladann and therefore could share her Rank 4 powers, she wasn't near as strong as her of course, so she couldn't possibly share all the powers completely! Due to this, there was still a clear gap in power between her and this snake that couldn't be easily closed. She gritted her teeth. Even shapeshifting into her strongest form wasn't near as enough to fight against this thing!
"GRYSHA!"
The massive snake reached up to her in an instant without waiting, as the man above the beast suddenly conjured a massive spear of darkness and threw it at her at high speeds!
FLASH!
BOOMMM!!!
"Ugh?!"
The powerful spear impacted Miranda right away, the explosion was also deadly, as her HP went down a lot. Her body was splattered into the snow, and she immediately felt like she was about to be defeated by that mere attack!
However, she wasn't going to give up! She quickly inserted herself underground and began to infuse her entire body into the soil, disappearing like a sneaky slime would do!
"W-What? What was that? Was this being a familiar?! I've never seen one as bizarre!" said the ice giant wrapped in black clothes, he invoked two more shadow spears in each of his hands, looking around for clues where he could find Miranda. However, as much as he looked in these seconds, he couldn't find her, until…!
"Huh?!"
CLASH!
A massive mass of black tentacles surged from behind the snake, entangling the giant snake with amazing strength, and trying to crush it! the snake hissed angrily, using its jaws to tear apart some of the tentacles, but the tentacles were many and the snake only had a single jaw, it also lacked most of the powers its evolved form which battled Drake had with it, so it couldn't do much other than boost the power of Shadow Beasts, bite, or attack with its giant body size and weight.
The tentacles wrapped around the beast as some of its bones were about to break, but the sect member was strong, he was weak against Drake because Drake is a monster amongst monsters, but against an easier matchup such as Miranda…!
FLASH! FLASH!
BOOOOMMM!!!
"Aaaggh….! Ungh…! That hurts!"
Miranda was hit by two giant spears of shadows that exploded at the moment of contact, hurting her body deeply and ending up making her body spread around the floor like a mass of dark slime. She tried to quickly run away, but the man suddenly generated several more spears, as the snake wrapped around part of her moldy slime, and a rain of attacks suddenly fell over her!
"Damn it!" cried Miranda, as she unleashed her powerful magic, generating several projectiles made of mold and trying to infect the man or the snake, but their auras were easily repelling her attempts while the man's barrage of attacks didn't let her rest for a single second…
"Drake and Benladann are dealing with their own problems, I can't ask for their help…! I have to do this on my own… On my own!" muttered Miranda, however, to save the day, a dragon showed up!
But not the right dragon, the one she loved, but a different one! A glorious serpentine dragon with bright white scales and large horns resembling corals glowing with pink jewels around them. It was a beautiful eastern dragon, a Lunar Dragon!
"Huh? Wait! You're… that guy!" said Miranda, without remembering what this thing was.
"I have a name! But there's no time to adress ourselves with names or waste much time, let's team up to fight this threat, girl!" said the dragon.
"Sure thing!" said Miranda, as she began to form more mold in an instant, bizarre turning into a chimera of many of her different forms, the strongest form she had! She roared with many heads, tails, and limbs, as the two rushed forward!
"GRYYSHAAA!"
The roaring snake reached Miranda and the Lunar Dragon, as it emanated a strong aura of darkness, enhancing its rider's power over his shadows, as he generated many shadow spears and fired them constantly, as if they were draining over his opponents!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"Moonlight Shield!"
FLASH!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
However, the Lunar Dragon generated a powerful barrier made of moonlight, which protected the two from the shadow's attacks, as they exploded and were dissipated into nothingness through the power of the moonlight! This was still light itself, the weakness of shadow and darkness, the magic spells were being reduced to nothing but magic dust the moment they touched the barrier!
This left the sect member perplexed, as Miranda rushed forward, using her powerful shapeshifted body's claws and jaws, breaking through the giant's beast body. The monstrous scales that it possessed flew away constantly, as her jaws pierced through the beast's body, tearing apart the flesh and making a lot of blood come out! The sect member looked in anger as he tried to attack but was stopped by the lunar dragon!
"Your adversary is me!" he roared, as he swung his giant claws and slashed through the man's body, throwing him away from his mount!
BOOM!
"Uagh! D-Damn it! Shadow Domain, Abyssal Projectiles!"
Suddenly, a rain of powerful spells began to fall over the Lunar Dragon's entire body!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
