Apophis felt everything around him slow down in that mont.
He was hyper aware of everything within the room, but nothing more so than the sound of his own blood rushing through his ears.
The rage threatened to drive him insane. His rationality was fleeing him as fast as it could.
He could only vaguely focus on the sight of so foreign man standing in his great hall while saying sothing he couldn't even hear.
But despite everything, he was aware of the fact that Amaterasu desperately needed him.
A bright green bubble ford around the body of the goddess.
Her breathing, movents, and bleeding all ceased. Instead of trying to rewind ti, he isolated the mont she was currently in and froze her within it.
She was locked permanently in a state of near death. Only to be saved later. If he ever got the chance.
Claire seed to know exactly what her husband was thinking, and she opened one of the books she was always seen carrying.
It's magic focused on Amaterasu and pulled her inside- completely out of harms way.
"Girls... run..!" Apophis roared.
"We're not leaving you!" Fierce winds kicked up around Rita as her eyes shifted to a dull green color.
A golden lance ford within her grasp and she pointed it directly at the intruder in their ho.
"Rita... I need you to go..!" The floor underneath Apophis began to lt.
The room's temperature went to a rolling broil that could have fried most humans just by standing near it.
"Please, spare the theatrics." The strange man dismissed. Read latest stories on My Virtual Library Empire
Apophis' from tore itself apart as his form nearly doubled in size and a golden armor ford along his skin.
His arm mutated and ford into the head of a great dragon reminiscent of himself.
"Die."
A blast of powerful fla was emitted from the jaws of the creature and blew apart everything in it's path.
Apophis' grand castle that had stood tall for thousands of years suddenly experienced a wave of enchanted fire bursting through the front gates.
One could easily see a clear path of destruction following all the way from the throne room to the outside. Yet Apophis' eyes narrowed when he saw the destruction he'd wrought.
It was insignificant.
His adversary was still standing before him. Two limbs larger than his own body were raised in a defensive position.
Large, grey-demonic arms were almost burned beyond recognition. They were hardly even healing.
The stranger slowly dropped his arms, and Apophis could see exactly half of his face was reverting to so kind of primal state.
His goat-like eyes were mad with rage and agony. He was less than pleased.
"You've inherited your father's ability to upset . You will gravely regret the choices you have made on this day..!"
"As if I weren't going to say the sa thing for you!"
Both beings vanished from their positions and t in a clash overhead. The resulting shockwave caused the remaining rubble of the castle to tremble like a leaf in the wind.
Claire almost couldn't believe what she was seeing. Her husband had t an even match in strength.
The number of entities who could do sothing like that outside of them was too small to count.
Just as she was trying to wrap her mind around everything, the voices of Tiamat and Serana echoed in her mind from sowhere very far away.
'My darling? What's going on?'
'Yea, we can feel you guys being all tense even from a parallel world!'
Claire was quiet and bookish, but she showed a remarkable ability for decision making in the heat of the mont.
'No matter what, I need you both to stay where you are and do not co back until I or one of the others calls for you! No exceptions!'
Claire cut the connection and then grabbed Rita before she could do sothing foolish like run off and join the battle. "We need to tell the family, now!"
"But-"
"Rita!"
The succubus bit her lip several tis, but eventually caved to her lover's demands.
Claire closed her eyes and attempted to open up a portal, but her day only worsened when she realized that she couldn't.
'What... is happening..?'
-
Apophis struck the creature's demonic limbs with all of the strength in his body. His opponent did not have his training, but his enlarged limbs made it seem like he was striking sandbags.
Their density was only half the problem. His adversary had none of his training, but he was extrely gifted at defense.
He kept up his guard perfectly and left little chances for Apophis to attack his actual body.
"I tire of your gas, boy!"
Apophis summoned a curved golden sword to his normal hand and rushed at the stranger who'd so rudely barge into his ho.
Apophis's sword cut through his adversary's tough skin with great ease.
His entire left forearm was lopped off with no chance to regrow- leaving him unprotected.
At the very mont there was an opening, the dragon prince raised his dragon arm and unleashed another volley of fire.
The stranger barely managed to duck away from the wave of heat, but Apophis wasn't going to make the sa mistake as before.
His volley of fla transford, becoming a living mass of flaming serpents. Each of them over fifty feet long and ravenous beyond description.
They pursued his adversary like hunting hounds, and just for the mont, Apophis was filled with joy at watching him squirm.
But just for a mont, he noticed sothing out of the corner of his eye. A strange, glossy sheen almost like a barrier.
'When did he..?'
Apophis turned around and pointed his arm at the barrier.
All of the sudden, his senses began to scream at him to move out of harms way.
He ducked just as a twisted, deranged limb tried to remove his handso head.
Putting so space between himself and his new assailant, he lays eyes on a rather annoying sight.
A duplicate.
But Apophis hadn't seen when he ford it, or felt the magical fluctuations in the air when it was called into being.
His frustration with himself only intensified. There was far too much that he just wasn't noticing today. And he couldn't begin to explain how or why.
"Your resistance to my powers is… irkso."
Percival #2 lifted a jagged blade for an arm and pointed it at Apophis.
"But worry not, for resistance is not to be confused with complete nullification. You will feed my ascension whether you want to or not."
