"Ugh?!" Prospera noticed her legs freezing as she was unable to turn into sand down below. Her eyes glanced into the figure of a young Ice Giantess holding a necklace with a bright clear blue jewel, shining brightly. "An Ice Giant?! In the desert?!"
"Veredorr, you're pissed too?" Tear sighed. "Yeah, let's freeze her to death!"
The Ice Giantess rushed towards Prospera, the Vampiress stepped back, only for her legs to break apart by the spears coming from behind, wielded by Partner.
"Where are you looking at?!" Laughed Partner. "RAAAAH!"
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CRAASH!
A barrage of piercing spear attacks reached Prospera's body, which was quickly covered in dozens of holes that regenerated through the sand, she left behind her legs and tried to escape, flying into the ceiling, and sliding away!
"I need to escape! I cannot win at all!" She thought, however, a wave of freezing air reached her entire sand-made body.
"[Divine Frost Queen Magic]: [Niflheim's Frozen Coffin]!"
An overwhelming divine freezing wave reached her entire body, every little grain of sand and even her soul were frozen solid instantly!
"T-This is… This freezing power…!" Prospera screamed, feeling her soul beginning to freeze as well. "She's… no way! The Frost Queen became their ally?!"
However, before she could even understand what was happening anymore, her consciousness faded into darkness, her body and soul completely frozen.
"She's dead already? Lame." Partner sighed.
"Are the children secured?" Asked Tear worriedly.
"All good!" Maria appeared from within the shadows.
"The Vampires are deader than dead too!" Nyx said, pointing at the charred remains of the Vampires that had tried to kill little children.
"They were surprisingly weak." Takeshi sighed. "Or maybe we've grown strong ourselves."
"To think we used to be tormented by trash like them…" Laura sighed.
"Wait…. I can feel something, a darkness similar to the Evil God's Fragments." Said Emeraldine, stepping in, and then glancing into the ceiling. "She's not dead!"
Everyone then noticed a gigantic darkness swelling within the frozen body of the Vampiress, continuously shattering the ice until she finally freed herself!
"You… bastards! You forced me to use THAT!"
Her chest started glowing with a bright red and black crystal imbued within, her entire body fusing with its miasmic powers as she turned into a mass of endless black sand that started filling the entire dungeon's corridors!
"Shit! She's going to fill the entire dungeon!" Maria cried. "Is she activating an Evil God Fragment?! No… It must be a power like that vampire woman we killed back in the duchy of Albraun!"
"That black sand is dangerous!" Lucifer said. "It is draining my Mana by merely touching my tail!"
"We have to make some space before it engulf us completely!" Emeraldine cried, generating a barrier made of spiritual energy behind her as the mass of black sands stopped.
Only for a few seconds before the sand absorbed all the energy and shattered the barrier conjured by an S Rank!
"Alright, that's confirmed, she has an Energy Absorption power!" Maria sighed, expanding her shadows, and grabbing all her friends, as they pierced through the walls in front of them, shattering the dimensional walls of the dungeon with Maria's Divinity and her Black Lightning, in a similar manner that Thor shattered the ceiling of the Miasmic Dungeon before.
"A wide area!" Maria said, quickly flying into the high ceiling, as she saw the entire black sand emerge below them, several jewel-like eyes emerged within the sand, finally taking the form of a monstrous, slightly female-shaped entity made of black sand and red jewels.
"Is that really Prospera?!" Partner was shocked. "Fuck!"
"Her body and abilities… This seems like a boost much stronger than the Demonite Heart Core that the Horseman of Famine used!" Emeraldine said, recalling the events of the Albraun Duchy's disaster.
"She's much stronger than before… S+ Rank, perhaps?" Lucifer thought.
"Can I freeze her again?!" Tear wondered.
"I don't know if you can actually freeze that thing as easily anymore!" Catarina cried.
"So this is the power that the Vampires have been researching… To emulate the might of Evil God Fragments without using them?!" Jonathan was shaken. "It's the same thing that happened to Julio and Anastasia!"
"GRUUUUAAAAGGHHH…!" Prospera roared like a wild beat, incapable of rational thought anymore. She was fueled by rage and the monstrous miasma rushing through her veins.
[The [Vampire of Golden Sands: Prospera (A+++ Rank)] has activated her [Abyssal Demonite Heart Core]! Its effects have been combined with the [Divine Golden Daggers of Eternal Sands]!]
[Prospera] has transformed into the [Abyssal Evil God Embryo of Miasmic Black Sands (S++ Rank)]!]
[All her Stats have increased by a further +300%, her Natural Health Regeneration Speed has increased by +500%!]
[Through the power of her [Black Sands of the Abyss], anything that touches her Sands will have their Energies slowly absorbed.]
"Holy shit." Maria smiled. "You've gotten quite the glow up, you fucking bitch. Don't worry, I also got my own Transformation just in case I need to beat some giant demon thing ass."
Maria swiftly transformed, fusing all her transformation Skills at once. Her body was made up of dark purple and pink colored moonlight energy which shone with countless bright stars. Her long, purple, and black hair reached her ankles, and it was made of ferocious snakes, poison, and death.
Covering her beautiful moonlight body, a black and demonic armor with the decorations of many bug-like monstrosities emerged, made of demonic power, chaos, and darkness.
[You have combined the effects of the [Gorgon's Transformation], [Abyssal Demon Transformation], [Divine Moonlight Titan Body], [Divine Moonlight Titan Soul], and all Body-type Skills to transform into your [Ultimate Form]!]
[All of your Stats have temporarily increased by +1000%, your Death, Darkness, Chaos, Poison, and Moonlight Elemental Damage has increased by +10000%, and Skill Damage has increased by +500%!]
[However, your Mana is constantly being drained, and so is your Moonlight Essence!]
"[Accursed Abyssal Nightmare Blade Arts]: [Abyssal Ascension]! [Barbaric Dark Axe Arts]: [Demonic Slash]!"
Without further ado, Maria jumped into action before anybody else, summoning her Blade and her huge Axe, and swinging both weapons at once against Prospera's monstrous body!
Prospera greeted her blows with her entire body transforming into countless fists!
CRAASH! CRAASH! CRAASH! CRAAAASSSH!
