Originally, Shandra Minea was a hero from the Hall; it was one of the mythical beasts of Shane Scrift. Shane wasnt from Tionis, so the probability that Shandra Minea existing here should be next to zero. However, it was right in front of Daveys eyes; he had to believe it. He thought Shandra would just be an evil beast who had gotten stronger from its long lifetime, but it was much more than he had expected.

Hm Still alive after a hit from a transcendental being. Was that holy magic protecting you?

Davey let out a deep sigh as he glanced at the man speaking nonchalantly from afar. He couldnt help but scoff. This wouldve been a pretty deadly hit if it wasnt for the 7th level holy magic [Holy Blessing] he had cast before entering the forest.

Im telling you; youve done something completely insane. Do you know that? Shandra Minea is a mythical beast with unbelievable immunity.

I dont know what youre talking about.

This wasnt just crazy, but it was insane. From the looks of it, it seemed like Shandra Mineas clone that had separated from its real body; if the clone was this powerful, Davey could already imagine what the actual one would be like.

Grrr

The surrounding air began to vibrate with the clones low growling. A powerful being affected their surroundings just by leaving a mark of their presence. If the original body had the capability of a Grandmaster, there was a good possibility that its clone, which only had a part of the original power, could also leave a mark of their presence as well. This was also the case in the Duchy of Felicity where Davey used the 9th level ultimate holy magic [Saint Sanctuary]; the aftermath of the holy power hadnt disappeared yet.

How unfortunate So unfortunate. What else can I do? Kill him, Treve.

Understood.

Treve answered the man calmly, then his eyes glistened as he provoked Shandra once more with his abilities. Twisting its body, Shandra began to scream and resist. Then, it glared at Davey. Shandra normally wasnt weak enough to be tricked by illusions, but it seemed like the reason it was falling under was because it was ruined in a strange way. The captain stared at it with satisfaction and then quickly ran toward the direction where the other men in black robes went as if he had nothing more to do here. It seemed like he didnt doubt for a second that Davey was going to be defeated by Shandra.

Well, I would think like that, too.

At the same time, Shandra locked his large eyes onto him as he opened his jaws wide.

Shing Zing!! As Davey was about to shout, a large blue ray of light flashed before his eyes.

An extremely cold breath.

Shandras frosty attacks were incomparably more powerful than the small lasers Rinne shot. Its unbelievable power was evident in the fact that it shot a huge hole in the mountains behind him with one breath.

Still, its a lot weaker than when it could split the sea in half.

The original Shandra had the power of a Grandmaster. It was somewhat of a relief that this clone of Shandra didnt exhibit the same level of power Davey knew.

Wow

-YoYour arm

It was as if Davey couldnt react in time not because he didnt know the attack was coming but because his body was too slow to move. He frowned when he glanced at his left arm that had basically turned into powder from the powerful blast of frost. He had no choice but to drop Blue Ribbon, but it was a relief that the blade seemed unaffected by the breath.

I guess it isnt a divine sword for no reason.

-Davey, why Blue Ribbon

You think the power is almighty?

If his opponent was something like Shandra, his actual powers were more important than the actual power of the sword.

Strictly speaking, Shandras breaths were also energy balls, which were part of the anti-physical realm. Davey would be able to slash Shandra, but if he did, he would become a mummy after all his mana would be drained from his body. This wasnt right, but he wasnt one to back down.

This isnt just any opportunity.

He was going to try and find remnants of either Shandra or some other transcendental being, but there was no need for that if there was one standing right in front of him.

-I am begging you, Davey, but please be careful! You must be careful of everything!

Davey had one chance, and he was as careful and cautious as anyone could be right now. To do this

First, I am going to eat it.

In the end, metamorphing was the complete destruction and rearrangement of the body. Davey could never forget the one thing that the Survival Expert had told him: there was nothing humans couldnt eat, but it was that the body would not be able to handle everything.

For a transcendental being as strong as Shandra, the power in its body would be extremely intense and strong; furthermore, it would be the worst thing for the human body. This meant that it was a perfect bomb for him.

* * *

Roar!!!!

For the first time, Rinne frowned as Shandras loud roar crushed the surrounding atmosphere. Considering that Rinne, who always maintained a straight face no matter what, was clenching her jaw, it seemed like the effect was pretty strong.

Its not like youre a transparent dragon or something.

Of course, Shandras roar also affected Treve as well.

Cough! Treve turned pale and coughed up a lot of blood. As his eyes glistened with light once more, a blue energy surrounded Shandra Minea, the terrestrial dragon. It's almost done I will not fail now

Youre funny.

What?

It might stumble a little now, but in a few days, your illusion magic wont work.

My illusions are not weak.

Its not that youre weak; that guy is just strong.

The only reason Davey hadnt pierced his sword into Treve yet was because Shandras movements had become quite awkward since Treve was controlling Shandra, although Treve himself was barely holding on.

Im letting you go just this once since it makes things a little easier for me.

Dodging Shandras tail, which flung toward him with a sonic boom, Davey charged toward its upper back and struck with his fist loaded with sword energy. The only way a sword could be pierced into tough scales was to first create a crack in it by giving it some kind of shock. It would be easy for Davey to be defeated if he attacked it without knowing this.

-Kahhhh!!!

Perhaps it could still feel pain even though it had become half-monster. The scales of Shandra, who was screaming and struggling to get Davey off its body, was much more tough than he had imagined. However, Davey was a pro at slashing and cutting things. He released more mana than he could handle and fired up Red Ribbons power, then threw the blade right at the part where the scale was slightly dented.

Splatter!! With a very small cut, some blood splattered in the air.

I can tell how damn tough you are now that I fight you after being nerfed.

Of course, this wasnt enough. It would be difficult to slash even Shandras scales with Daveys current physical abilities that had been strengthened with buff magic spells and level of power he could use.

Shandra Minea is a monster that has evolved over thousands of years.

Even if the being in front of Davey was just a clone, a monster like that would match up to a dragon written in ancient books.

Whip! Shing

Bringing Red Ribbon, which was flying in the air, into his only arm, Davey took a short breath and closed his eyes. Dear Goddess Freyja, who watches over everything in the world

The most effective kind of buff magic was holy magic.

I will do more than I can handle, so please, so that your little sheep will not walk in the dark anymore

If I dont have enough power, I have no choice but to borrow some.

Watch over me. What I yearn for is your power.

Whoosh As Daveys prayer went on, the holy power inside him began reacting like crazy; although it was extremely lazy, it became the most passionate if it received the divine will.

Blue Ribbon, Im borrowing some of your holy power.

It was Red Ribbon before, but now it was Blue Ribbon. The large amount of holy power flowing out from Blue Ribbons blade began chemically reacting with the holy power within Davey.

The cost Davey trailed off and opened his eyes while saying his last prayer, Lets just call it even with doing good deeds.

[9th level Holy Magic]

[Replica of Holy Wings]

It wasnt an ultimate holy magic spell, but it was still at the 9th level.

It wasnt like Ive done nothing in the meantime.

Unlike other types of magic, even a newbie priest could create a miracle of God if they had holy power and experience. That was actually the reason how Davey was able to cast the 9th level ultimate holy magic, [Saint Sanctuary], at the Duchy of Felicity.

Although this wasnt nearly as much holy power compared to Caldeiras, Davey had put his life on the line for this; he would actually welcome the rebound to his body!

Whoosh!!!! An incomparable amount of holy power flowed out from Daveys back and created a set of large, white wings made with energy. It looked super cheesy, but the power contained in it and the power linked with Davey was not weak. The color of his sight started to change as the stigmata began resonating and a suffocating amount of holy power surrounded his entire body. Daveys eyes, which were normally red, had probably turned to white gold, which was called the Eyes of God.

Davey didnt stop with the attack-type 9th level holy magic that allowed him to borrow Gods fake wings, but cast dozens of other spells on it.

Whoosh!!!

What is

Davey could see Treves shocked face as energy gathered toward him while dodging Shandras attacks from afar. However, Davey had no time to pay much attention to Treve.

There would be no second chances if I missed this opportunity now.

As an incomparable amount of power surrounded his body, Davey felt a little satisfied as it had been a long time since he had felt this kind of power.

Its not exactly enough, but it shouldnt matter, right?

Using [Aura Blade] with Red Ribbon, Davey crushed the wings on his back and converted it all into power. At the same time, Shandras huge front feet came down with immense weight and power like it was trying to crush him. It wasnt just any stomping, since he could practically feel the pressure of Shandras essence.

[Combined Spontaneous Quick Draw]

You dont even have your original body! Dont mess with me! Davey charged toward Shandra without dodging its attack, which contained destructive power. He crossed and twisted Red Ribbon, which he was holding with one hand, and Blue Ribbon, which he was holding with [Telekinetic Blade] since he only had one hand, in the sky.

[Divine Union]

[Telekinetic Blade Control]

[Heavenly Double Fangs]

Two large fangs that pierced through the sky ripped Shandras feet and pierced one side of its shoulder. All the buff magic disappeared from Davey at that moment, but he had already reached his goal. He could see Treves wide eyes of shock when he successfully pierced through Shandras tough skin.

What I am going to show you right now is going to be much more bewildering and surprising.

Davey quickly ran up the arm of Shandra, who was shouting and flailing around, and threw Red Ribbon up into the air to hover it in the sky. Then, he dug his fist with sword energy into the cut on its shoulder. Splatter!!! Then, Davey ripped off Shandras skin, which was covered in blood.

-Kahhh!!

Davey, who backed away from the screaming and flailing Shandra, was knocked quite far back. He still did not let go of the piece of skin in his hand. Hm, what a foul smell.

Although Davey was confident he could eat it, it didnt mean that it didnt spoil his appetite. Staring at the skin, he pushed it into his mouth and swallowed it without hesitation.

Whoosh! Boom!!

Keugh!

At the same time, Daveys strangely rotating mana that had been prepared earlier resonated with Shandras skin and began putting intense pressure on him. Like a rock, Davey stiffened and collapsed. The body Davey had prepared beforehand reacted vigorously as soon as it began accepting the chaotic power contained within its skin. Then, it began destroying Davey little by little from the inside.

-Davey!!!

As Perserque screamed, Davey glanced at Shandra through his hazy vision. As mad as it could ever be, Shandra began building up its breath in its mouth like it was going to destroy him. He didnt know how Shandra Minea, a fire-type, had come to have extremely cold frost, but he suspected that this attack would be enough to destroy him.

Ill punish you if you dont get the last hit right.

As soon as Davey concluded, an extremely cold, frosty breath enveloped him. However, Shandra didnt stop there and blew up part of the Zone of Evil without leaving a trace.
