Titania smiled defiantly, losing her often calm and composed gracefulness.

Her eyes flared with anger and frustration!

The crack that showed up was all we needed.

"You who took everything from me I can finally pay you back!"

Titania smiled defiantly, as she loaded her rapier with all the strength she could muster.

"[SOUL PIERCE]!"

FLAAASH!

The rapier shone brighter than the very sun, as the needle-like tip reached the crack within the Miasmic Core in a split of a second, piercing through the crystal!

C R A A A C K!

"NNGGGH!"

The groan of the Demon King came accompanied by the Miasmic Core gaining countless of cracks, which continued to spread further and further as Titania infused all the power she could into the crack!

"Demon King of Miasma, begone from our Sanctuary!"

As Titania said those words, I quickly gave my last push, hitting the Miasmic Core one last time with another Spiritual Attack!

"Take THIS!!!"

CRAAAAASSSHHHH!!!

The Miasmic Core finally shattered into pieces as the impact I unleashed sent a wave of Spiritual Essence inside of the Demon King's entire body!

"GRUUUAAAAAHHH! IMPOSSIBLE! THIS CAN'T BE!"

RUMBLE!

His entire body suddenly began to freeze more and more by Nieve's attack, as he began crumbling apart, all of his power fading away and flowing into large quantities he could no longer control!

"Silver, as quick as you can!"

"ROOOAR!"

Silver hurriedly carried us outside of the crumbling Demon King's body, as we managed to fly away right in time before his entire mountain of a body crumbled apart into pieces in the ground!

TRUUUUUMMMM!

Acorn quickly turned back to his original form, falling unconscious the moment it saw the Demon King crumbling apart. At the same time, Belle and the rest of my Familiars rushed our way while carrying him with us.

We saw the Demon King's body fall apart, as his screams filled with frustration echoed across the underground

"This is not OVER YET! GGGRRRHH GRAAAAHH!"

BAAAAAAMMM!!!

His last pieces fell into the ground, as what was left was a big pile of black crystals and his shattered Miasmic Core on top.

Ding!

I got EXP And I am even Max Level now!

And not only that, but I also got a Title that isn't even fair.

The Demon King hasn't died yet, he's still in the Dark Continent! I just killed one of his clones

I guess it still somehow counts as a Demon King at the end?

But it still feels like cheating

Ding!

[You have directly shattered one of the Demon King of Miasma's [Miasmic Cores]!]

[You have dealt direct damage to the Demon King's True Body!]

[The Demon King of Miasma withers in pain! It has lost 30% of its total HP!]

Suddenly, not only in front of me, but of everyone else, System Messages appeared.

These were perhaps global messages; the entire world were seeing them.

Titania and Nieve naturally saw them as well.

"I-Is it done?" Wondered Nieve.

"Ah I think so." I sighed. "I got EXP this time"

"We defeated him" Sighed Titania. "I finally got to hit him for once. And we even dealt direct damage to his true body"

"Now we should try to purify the forest as soon as we can to-"

FLUOOOOSSH!

Suddenly, an enormous amount of darkness emerged from within the shattered Miasmic Core and the frozen Miasma from the Demon King's body.

"YOU HAVEN'T DEFEATED ME YET!"

His furious voice surged from within!

He isn't dead yet?!

RUMBLE!

An enormous shockwave of darkness and miasma impacted all of us, blowing us away!

The power was the real deal, although it felt slightly weaker than before

I looked into the distance as I shielded everyone using Spiritual Barriers.

"Uwaaaah! What now?!"

The pile of rocks suddenly began to emanate a large quantity of Miasmic Essence, as from within, a Phantom of the Demon King appeared.

"A-Are you kidding me?!" Titania had the same reaction as me.

"T-This is bad" Nieve muttered.

"I REFUSE!"

The Demon King roared.

"I REFUSE TO LOSE HERE! I WON'T ALLOW IT! I WILL CRAWL HERE I SHALL NOT BE RESTRAINED ANYMORE!!!"

His enormous Phantasmal Presence continued unleashing shockwaves after shockwaves.

It was very obvious he didn't wanted us to get closer to him, he knew that we could end him now!

"VESSEL A VESSEL!"

He began screaming, his fury making him go absolutely mad.

The Phantom had a formless shape of countless shadow tentacles and red eyes.

It was odd! Why was he here through a phantom? Did he just brought his whole soul here?

"We have to stop him! Ugh" Nieve muttered, feeling exhausted.

"I'll go! Spirits!" I called upon the Spirits surrounding us.

They had been helping us constantly to deal with his main body, and they kept being born from the Spirit Sprouts that popped up from the Terrain.

"Everyone! Bring me your strength!"

"Fooo! Fooo!"

"Guuuh!"

"Afoofofoo"

The Lesser Spirits and the Dragon Vein Spirits were summoned one after the other, I had hundreds of them floating over my head.

And now

"SPIRIT FUSION!"

FLUOOOSSH!

I had to merge their power together to bring something stronger!
