chapter 1944: the battle intensifies!

pandemonium laughed victoriously on top of what remained of drake's body, shredded into a blood paste, there was nothing left but blood, flesh and bones...
"you're still way too weak, bastard! is there even a piece of your soul left at all?! i'll eat it right now! whatever remains of you will become my power and - ugh?!"
however, out of nowhere, pandemonium realized his entire body was covered in slices, and then, his legs fell to the ground, cut into several dozens of pieces at once.
blood started coming out of his body, revealing dozens of wounds across his entire body. this wasn't a mere flesh wound, but he...
"w-wha...?!"
his eyes widened as pandemonium screamed in agony as he realized he wasn't the only one that attacked within that time frame.noÌv(el)b\\jnn
drake moved at such a speed he was barely able to see him, but he used both lucifer and celestia to cut through his entire body with all his strength.
"b-bastard...!"
splaaat!
in that moment, pandemonium's body exploded into several dozens of pieces that fell into the floor, his blood and flesh exposed, as he saw something with his head.
"y-you! you're still alive?!"
he noticed something, a spectral, ghostly apparition of drake. his soul had been merged with his body, but because his body received such damage, only his soul and a few of his organs remained fused together.
this was already pushing himself to his limits, but it allowed drake to survive and resist the destruction, his soul, which should had been destroyed, survived by becoming immortal for a few seconds!
"haahh... haahh... heh! did you like your new haircut, demon bastard?"
drake provoked pandemonium, a second later, his entire body regrowing anew,
pandemonium saw how fast it was. flesh, bones, organs, brains, heart, everything came back within just a couple of seconds.
"w-what a ridiculous fucker! his level of regeneration is insane! what kind of cheat ability just allows him to do this so easily?!"
as pandemonium thought that drake rushed towards him, without even wasting a second after fully regenerating his body, he summoned his blood chains out of the bloody pieces of his body that were left everywhere.
yes, the ones where pandemonium's entire body had fallen over!
"unfortunately for you, pandemonium, it's over!"
fluosh!
hundreds of chains composed of holy light, drake's divinities combined together, his demonic and spiritual power, and void emerged from his bloody pieces!
"w-wha...?! bastard!"
pandemonium panicked, as he opened a demon gate right above him, stopping the chains from reaching him from above!
pure demonic essence and flying away.
the chains were useless without a physical surface to wrap around, and they fell into the
ground.
every single piece he had secured was now lost.
they melted into ethereal energies that flew towards pandemonium's head and torso, which
were the only things the demons secured before running away.
"i'll devour myself if necessary!"
he opened his jaws and devoured his own body parts, which he used as a sacrifice.
the demons holding him gasped in disbelief as they saw their lord gaining tremendous
power!
fluooosh!
"offer yourselves to me, my demons! all of you!"
pandemonium rapidly grew larger as he began to transform, to regrow a new body entirely!
"dammit! stop it already, pandemonium!"
drake rushed towards his nemesis as he saw pandemonium devour hundreds of demons in a single bite, his entire body twisting, growing tentacles and countless arms, heads, legs,
everything.
"i will show you that i am still superior to you, drake!"
pandemonium's monstrous form rapidly compressed together, drake was delayed as hundreds of other demons grabbed him and dragged him down.
he destroyed them easily, but the influx of the demons was becoming ridiculous!
pandemonium kept devouring them and fusing with them constantly, growing larger and
larger and larger!
"i'll match your size, dragon!"
rumble!
his smaller form was no more, as pandemonium reached yet another form.
a gigantic, demonic one.
