>>5351633>>5351642>>5351644"BAPTIZE ME IN YOUR GRACE, UNDINES!" You shove the handle inside Grunbeld's throat, as he attempts to spit it out, the water stream takes form and starts freezing the inside of his throat, perforating his nape as you attempt to drag through his brain. If you can spike his head and remove it from his body, this fight will finally be over and done with.
"Mesmerizing, what a truly outrageous display! And to think I am fighting a sick halfling, who has yet to heal from his debilitating condition... A much more promising skirmish than the one offered by the Black Swordsman!" He speaks despite being impaled through his mouth, with the frostbite being supposed to hinder his speech as it stuck his tongue inside it's pole. However... My mission lies ahead, and I shall finish you both to prove my loyalty to the leader of the Falcons!"
As you hurriedly tried to extend the trident by freezing his blood, Grunbeld's body grew to a ridiculous size as fire drew from his breath, turning the ice of the undines into a small water whip as you barely had the time to pull out from his jaws, who receded into his neck as he began to transform.
Was the form he was in still not his apostle form? He was a giant that stood taller than Zodd himself! How big could he possibly get?
As his armor broke off into a fiery smoke, a burst of flames separated you from the falling dragon knight, sending you spiraling back towards the crater formed by his explosives.
Not expecting the change in trajectory, most of the spears and swords flew off into the sky, but some bolts and arrows did manage to strike at your extremities while you fell head first into a rock, breaking off the fall with your hands as you heard the sound of your right wrist twisting.
Your forehead was oozing blood, and as if that didn't hinder your field of vision, Grunbeld's unleashed state soon came crashing down below.
Quickly thinking on your feet, you fed the undines the water inside your blood as the frosty trident grew once more, protuberating its spikes from both ends of the handle as it stuck to the soil and extended over your head, preventing the giant, crystalized dragon to squash you flat as he grew to the size of the spirit tree mansion.
The face you damaged was now fully solidified into the center of his nostrils, with no prior trace of the wounds you've previously given, and as the flame dragon noticed your presence under his paw, he pressed his immense weight of several tons onto you and your magical artifact.
"It was a mighty, fine duel, Phantom. Though you were not fully human, you siding with humanity has shown me that they might not be an absolute pushover." As the entity quickly sent more soul weapons underground to destroy your soul, you were too busy holding the icy trident while you helped push it upward with one hand, still wandering if you would have time to fix the broken one before all your bones were crushed.
"PERISH!"
