Reawakening: SSS-Rank Villain's POV-Chapter 73: Third Phase Boss!

"NOW!" Lucian screamed the mental command as Kyra prepared a devastating strike against Levi.

Instantly, Levi dropped his shield and axe and suddenly pushed forward with his entire strength, grappling her, massive Titan arms wrapping around her torso. Simultaneously, Baltzer, the three Elite Titans and the other blood shadows surged forward, ignoring her Sebastian's strikes, and piled onto her like trust falls, clinging with their entire strength.

Kyra struggled, roaring, her claws tearing chunks out of the Blood Shadows, but their combined mass and Undying Servitude held her fast for a crucial second.

Their bodies began to glow, an ominous crimson light building from within. Leviathan, Baltzer, the three Elites – all focused on a single point.

"DETONATE!" Lucian roared, pouring the last dregs of his mana into the command.

"KA-BOOOOOOOOOOM!!!"

Twenty Blood Shadows, including the legendary-equipped Leviathan and Baltzer, exploding simultaneously in a focused implosion/explosion of pure blood energy and shadow force. The resulting detonation dwarfed the clash between Sovereign's Devastation and Meteoric Strike. It was a concentrated sunburst of annihilation centered directly on Kyra.

The entire Third Floor shook violently. The shockwave

flattened everything for hundreds of meters, sending Lucian tumbling backward despite the distance. Magma waves surged like tsunamis. The very air ignited into infernos.

Silence followed the blinding light, filled only by the roar of disturbed magma. Lucian shielded his eyes, peering into the center. Nothing remained but a vast, newly deepened crater filled with swirling, superheated gases. His shadows were gone, completely atomized.

'Did it work?' He scanned the environment before him frantically.

And his face changed when he realized they're was no system notification.

Suddenly, a low groan echoed from the depths of the crater.

The groan intensified until it transformed into a ferocious soul-rending roar of rage and fury!

"ROOOOAR!!!"

From the swirling smoke and fire, a form began to rise. Growing taller and taller like a mountain.

[Boss Entering third phase: Nine Lives Activated! (2nd Resurrection)][HP Restored to 30%!] [Agility +40%!] [Attack Power +40%!] [Demonic Power Unleashed!]

The smoke cleared, revealing Kyra, but not as she was. She now towered twenty meters tall! Demonic energy radiated from her in a massive wave.

Her form was still recognizably humanoid and even disturbingly seductive the more Lucian looked.

She was covered in short, sleek black fur that seemed to absorb light itself.

Her claws were now the size of swords, her fangs longer, wickedly curved.

Her golden eyes burned with an intensity that could melt stone. Her tail lashed like a massive whip.

The dark magma glowing greatsword reformed in her massive hand, now even with her current size, glowing with even greater heat and ferocity.

She looked down at Lucian, her expression one of utter anger and hatred. "You... WILL... PAY!" Each word sounded like a thunderclap that threatened to drown Lucian!

Lucian stared up at the massive figure, his face was extremely pale.

A third phase? What kind of monster was this? Neglecting the fact that this wasn't the floor he had expected, the boss monster even had a third phase!

Lucian was incredibly angered! Not even a team of level 30 ranker would be able to pass this floor!

Even the full sacrificial explosion of his entire shadows hadn't killed

even killed her! This Third Floor boss was broken!

"Alright, bitch," Lucian's cursed, his own eyes blazing crimson. "You wanna play?"

"HEAVENLY DEMON TRANSFORMATION!"

"BOOOOOOM!"

Energy surged from the void. His body erupted in blinding light. The familiar agony ripped through him as his cells mutated, expanded.

"ROOOOOOAR!"

His own roar echoed hers, filled with defiance. Muscles bulged, bones lengthened, crystalline skin hardened and expanded.

He shot upwards, matching her height, becoming a twenty-meter titan radiating raw power.

Steam poured off him, his wounds sealing instantly under the transformation's boost.

Two massive beasts now stood amidst the ruins of the Third Floor, one a demonic cat goddess of fury, the other a crystalline warrior fueled by pain and regeneration.

The ground trembled under their combined weight.

Kyra's eyes flickered with surprise then was replaced by anger.

She roared and charged, her colossal greatsword swinging. Lucian met her head-on, activating Titan's Rampage from his armor set.

KA-BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

Their fists collided. Not sword vs spear anymore, but pure, primal strength. The shockwave disintegrated the surrounding landscape, blasting magma high into the air like fiery rain.

They grappled, titanic muscles straining, claws scraping against crystalline skin, fists pounding like meteors.

It was the Attack Titan fight all over again, but exponentially more destructive.

Every blow shattered the ground, triggered magma eruptions, sent shockwaves ripping through the very fabric of the floor.

Lucian used his superior defense and regeneration, while Kyra relied on raw speed, demonic power, and her burning claws.

They battered each other across the hellscape, mountains crumbling under their impacts, fissures widening into chasms. Lucian landed a devastating right hook that sent Kyra staggering, cracking her jaw.

[-8,000 HP Enemy!]

She retaliated with a blindingly fast claw swipe that tore gouges deep into his adamantine chest plate.

[-5,000 HP Self, Reduced!]

Catastrophic amount of energies kept rolling off of them like a wave, destroying the entire floor and even tearing through the fabric of space as they moved.

[Sovereign's Devastation <Lvl:1 (100%)]

[Lvl:2 Mountain Cleaving Slash unlocked (0.0%)]

(Level 2) Mountain-Cleaving Slash – A horizontal, crescent-shaped slash that rips through mountains and rivers. (+500% Attack Power, -400 mana points)

Suddenly, Lucian's spear materialized in his hands as he struck forwards.

"Mountain-Cleaving Slash!"

His spear seem to expand rapidly, seemingly transforming into a kilometer long spear blade as it slashed toward the Cat demoness.

"Finally, your trump card !"

The Cat demoness didn't hesitate to strike back with her own skill.

"Meteoric strike!"

"BOOOOOOOM!

The world seem to collapse as a world ending meteor descended on Lucian.

At the last possible moment, Lucian suddenly canceled his attack!

The entire intense force from the strike redirected back towards him, shattering his bones, muscles, veins and even collapsing his entire chest.

The Cat demoness was shocked. However she couldn't afford to risk take back her attack as it would severely injure her to the point that she might actually die!
