Ridelle, in her Total Assimilation form, overflowed with unprecedented 『power』.
ㅤ
“So this is Total Assimilation. . . . . .Albero, so this is how it felt.”
ㅤ
She became one with the summoned beast, in both mind and body.
A warmth and purity enveloped her heart, almost bringing tears to her eyes. . . . . .perhaps it was the warmth she once felt from her beloved Summoned Beast, Pink.
Ridelle spoke to Bahamut, who stood right in front of her.
ㅤ
“I won’t forgive you. I’ll. . . . . .crush you here and now!”
“Heh, try if you can━━”
ㅤ
In the next moment━━exhaust ports formed on Ridelle’s legs and back.
Not just her legs. Ridelle’s entire body became a weapon.
Moreover, four 『iron stakes』 protruded from each arm, electrifying with high voltage. Purple sparks flashed as she brandished her arms menacingly.
ㅤ
“Here I come!”
“━━What?!”
ㅤ
Ridelle’s back exploded.
Flames erupted from the exhaust ports, propelling her towards Bahamut at an incredible speed. The electrified iron stake in her right hand struck Bahamut’s face with full force.
ㅤ
“『Electric Strike』!”
“Gyahahahahahaha?!”
ㅤ
She didn’t knock her away, but pinned her to the ground, with the stake lodged in her face, while jets of flames from the exhaust ports scarred the ground.
Bahamut was paralyzed, the ground scorching beneath her as she was electrocuted with billions of volts.
ㅤ
“Take this! 『Terra Missile』!”
ㅤ
Next, Ridelle hurled Bahamut into the air, her crimson iron skirt unfolding.
Inside, it was a missile pod. A barrage of missiles flew towards Bahamut, causing a massive explosion in the sky. . . . . .any ordinary summoned beast would have been torn to pieces.
But Bahamut was no ordinary summoned beast.
ㅤ
“You’re putting up a good fight!!!!!”
ㅤ
From the midst of the flames, a wounded Bahamut emerged.
She opened her mouth wide, spewing scorching flames.
ㅤ
“『Mega Flare』!”
ㅤ
A flame with such intense heat that it could melt the earth was released.
The overwhelming heat turned the mud into magma, liquefying it.
Ridelle bore the brunt of that inferno.
ㅤ
“Is this all the heat. . . . . .you got?!!!”
ㅤ
Slowly being burnt, her armor began to melt bit by bit.
But Ridelle didn’t retreat.
She took on the same flames that burned the children and the villagers, feeling the pain of those she couldn’t save, engraving it into her heart.
Then, Ridelle shouted.
ㅤ
“I won’t. . . . . .I won’t lose! I will crush you!”
ㅤ
Her skirt unfurled, and the armor on her back, arms, legs, and even her pink hair spread out and shone with a Pink glow.
ㅤ
“?!
ㅤ
Bahamut was in shock.
The Pink glowing hair was absorbing the heat. Furthermore, cracks appeared on Ridelle’s armor, with lines glowing pink across her body.
Bahamut realized.
ㅤ
“Could it be. . . . . .absorbing the heat and converting it to power?!”
“Daaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!”
ㅤ
Flames of a peachy hue erupted from the booster on her back.
Sparks of the same peach color burst from both her hands. And then━━Ridelle transformed into a flash of peach light, swiftly approaching the astonished Bahamut.
Bahamut was unable to dodge due to her incredible speed.
Raising both arms, Ridelle shouted.
ㅤ
“『Peach Flow Strike』!”
ㅤ
The stakes from both of her arms pierced through Bahamut’s chest and abdomen. A peach-colored flash of light equivalent to the sun’s brilliance turned into an electric surge, coursing through Bahamut’s entire body, burning him entirely.
ㅤ
“Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?!”
“Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”
ㅤ
Bahamut screamed.
Ridelle screamed.
The peach-colored flash illuminated everything around.
And then, as the flash disappeared. . . . . .Bahamut, now entirely charred, fell, leaving only Ridelle standing.
Taking heavy breaths, Ridelle looked down at Bahamut and murmured.
ㅤ
“It’s my victory. . . . . .”
ㅤ
Saying that, she left the scene.
There were still enemies to face. She had to regroup with Albero and end this battle.
ㅤ
“Heh, heh. . . . . .hahaha!! Ah. . . . . .enough of this.”
“Huh?! ━━She’s still alive.”
ㅤ
Bahamut, still burnt to a crisp, rose to her feet.
She was in terrible shape. Her clothes were burnt away, most of her long hair scorched off. Severe burns covered her body, her arms carbonized, and greenish blood and fluids were oozing out.
Still, Bahamut was laughing.
ㅤ
“You’ve made me mad.”
ㅤ
That’s all Bahamut muttered.
The beating of a heart━━Ridelle could hear it too.
Then, cracks began to form on Bahamut’s body. Her back tore open, revealing large wings.
They were cobalt blue wings. But they seemed too large for Bahamut’s body.
ㅤ
“I’ll kill you. I don’t care if Midgardsorm gets involved. I’ll obliterate you from this world.”
ㅤ
With his cobalt blue wings, Bahamut took flight.
Cracks appeared on her worn-out body. . . . . .it looked as if she was shedding her skin. Underneath, muscles bulged, reshaping and enlargening.
Her neck extended, face became draconic, arms lengthened, claws and a tail emerged. . . . . .she looked like a 『Winged Dragon』.
A cobalt blue winged dragon, over forty meters in length.
This was the true form of Summoned beast, Bahamut.
ㅤ
『I’ll burn this entire land to ashes!!』
“What?!”
ㅤ
Bahamut soared.
Approximately a thousand meters up, she spread his wings wide, gathering power.
She inhaled deeply, puffing up her chest, and opened her mouth. A converging cobalt blue light began to form.
Bahamut’s most potent breath attack, named 『Omega Flare』.
“━━I won’t let you.”
ㅤ
Ridelle took to the skies.
Engaging her back booster, she ascended to an altitude of three hundred meters.
She realized she couldn’t catch up further.
Making that judgment, Ridelle deployed all her weapons.
ㅤ
“Pink, watch. . . . . .I’ll protect you!!”
『━━Yes. Do your best!!』
ㅤ
Without a doubt, it was Pink’s voice she heard in her mind.
Ridelle understood. Pink was granting her true power.
The ability of the Summoned beast 『Red Queen』, the genuine power of 『Armament』.
ㅤ
“『Overtechnology』───Activate!!”
ㅤ
This world’s non-existent, 『machinery』 power.
Upon Ridelle’s back, a large cannon unfolds, its barrel opening with a purple lightning aura.
All missile pods emerge from her skirt. Cannons on both shoulders. Both arms transform to unveil plasma cannons.
In the end, the armor on Ridelle’s chest opens, revealing a glowing peach-colored gem.
The gem in her chest refines the ultimate energy not existing in this world, 『antimatter』. . . . . .An energy that destroys everything upon touching this world.
Bahamut’s 『Omega Flare』 is ready.
ㅤ
『Disappear!!!!!!!!!!』
ㅤ
Cobalt blue flames are unleashed.
It’s an overwhelming heat. If this were to rain down on the earth, the living would surely perish instantly.
Although it’s cobalt blue, to Ridelle who’s nearby, it appeared as bright as the sun.
And then───Ridelle also releases her power.
ㅤ
“I will definitely protect. . . . . .I’ll show it!!”
ㅤ
Every weapon on her body shines, unleashing its power.
ㅤ
“『Pandora’s Fulcrum』!!”
ㅤ
The final secret technique of the parasitic type summoned beast 『Red Queen』.
The ultimate weaponry is released, clashing head-on with 『Omega Flare』.
『Roar!!』
“Ahhhhhh!!”
ㅤ
The terrifying heat collides in the air.
Cracks form all over Ridelle’s body───and then, a small gem, like a marble, is shot from the gem on her chest.
The marble moves at nearly the speed of sound, passing through the clashing energies, approaching Bahamut.
The gem was so small that Bahamut noticed too late.
That marble had cracks from passing through the energy gap.
『───?』
ㅤ
───It cracks.
ㅤ
The marble shatters.
ㅤ
“───.”
『───』
ㅤ
───The sound vanished.
The energy was erased.
No one understood what happened.
But one thing was certain. . . . . .Bahamut’s body shattered in an instant, dying without even feeling pain.
Not just an explosion. 『Something』 ruptured, and space was consumed.
Ridelle was thrown to the ground, forming a huge crater.
ㅤ
“───?!! Huh, huh.”
ㅤ
She coughs up blood, but no sound comes out.
The sound had died. Everything’s incomprehensible.
The explosion of 『antimatter』. Without a doubt, it was the world’s most potent and devastating force.
ㅤ
“───. . . . . .?”
ㅤ
Ridelle’s 『Total Assimilation』 is deactivated.
Ridelle is unaware, like being blown several kilometers away from the village due to the aftermath of the explosion.
Her shattered legs had healed, and she could move.
However, she was exhausted.
ㅤ
“Just. . . . . .a little longer.”
ㅤ
Without even savoring the afterglow of victory, Ridelle closed her eyes as she lay collapsed.
