Chapter 193: Monsters

"RUUUUUN!!!"

Chaos erupted in the bustling Southern town as a frenzied crowd scattered in every direction. Suddenly, a colossal boulder plummeted from the sky, threatening to obliterate the entire town. However, just as it was on the verge of crashing down, a miraculous spectacle unfolded.

The boulder erupted into a myriad of blazing fragments, showering the surroundings with a mesmerizing display of fiery rocks. Amidst the chaos, a figure emerged from the epicenter of the explosion. Dora, chased by Gloria and her legion of monstrous creatures, which swiftly began to spread throughout the town.

With a swift motion of his hand, Dora cut the air and sliced open the spider, Gloria materialized behind it, her mouth pulsating with a menacing crimson beam of energy.

"Voracity"

Dora quickly snapped his fingers, creating a magical wall between them that received the shock and disappeared. He raised his right hand to the sky and brought it down quickly, followed by the fall of a giant spear.

Gloria stopped and turned towards the object, the spear gradually disintegrating as it fell.

Dora carefully observed this gesture, time seemed to slow down. He noticed the way the metal was being cut, little by little, and in the distance, he saw the spider come back to life.

He assumed his sword finger pose and Gloria’s stomach exploded, crushed by a sword formed directly into her body.

She vomited blood, turning to him with a death glare.

"Hypermetabolism"

The Queen unleashed a devastating surge of power, obliterating structures in its path. In a mere moment, her form underwent a drastic metamorphosis. Now slender, her skeletal frame visible beneath her skin, her once gentle visage morphed into that of a menacing sorceress. The spider expanded and burst, its exoskeleton now reforming on the Queen and the hue of the violet body coloring her, its mandibles ablaze in fiery crimson around her mouth.

"Gaze into the face of death! STAAARVATION"

A massive, fiery orange tsunami surged outward in a perfect ring, engulfing the entire city in its destructive path. Structures crumbled to dust, living beings were reduced to crimson vapor, and the populace vanished amidst agonizing wails. Amidst this chaos and devastation, a chilling smile crept across Dora’s face.

(That could be it...)

He disappeared before the wave could reach him and reappeared just above the Queen, materializing an axe covered in red particles in his hand.

"You are broken!"

He delivered a powerful blow resonating through the air and blurring the space, but the sword trembled against a sharp spider leg coming from the left side of the Queen’s body.

Dora’s eyes widened, the red particles disappearing and his skin beginning to dissolve.

"Who is broken?" said the Queen with a terrible smile, her monstrous jaw opening wide.

"...You... are broken." Dora turned behind them and clenched his fist, the forest monster snapping and exploding.

He smiled at the Queen who showed a shocked face.

"This thing is the one that heals you, isn’t it?"

Before the Queen could react, a flash of lightning momentarily blinded her. Her eyes widened, as the landscape began to shift, the ground got closer and closer, and suddenly she realized that she had been decapitated.

Dora created a new spear in the sky, his eyes glowing with anticipation.

"Yes... that’s it, the plant served as a healing center for her and her monsters, the multi-mouthed one and the spider can serve as firepower, but the pig’s head constantly projects an aura like voracity... it must be the one that managed to touch me every time... but now without her healing..."

He lowered his hand, the spear falling directly onto Gloria’s body and shattering into millions of pieces after hitting the ground.

"Increase the pressure, increase the toughness, increase the sharpness... enjoy my last gift to you, a real challenge for your regen-"

"VORACITY"

A giant ray rose from the cloud formed by the law and swallowed up everything in its path. Dora instantly disappeared, leaving only the upper half of his head.

"....?"

He fell slowly, unable to think at first, and then his head landed on one hand.

Gloria, back in her old form, wiped the blood from her mouth and brought her head closer.

"Did you think I only had one way to heal? Take this lesson with you on your road to hell: I am Gluttony, the Sin of Overconsumption."

She formed a light ball in her hand, disintegrating Dora’s head, and was left alone above destroyed terrain.

she paused to catch her breath, her hand instinctively reaching up to soothe her pounding neck. The adrenaline coursing through her veins had left her trembling, causing her hands to shake uncontrollably. As she tried to steady herself, she couldn’t help but notice a slight haze clouding her vision, making everything appear slightly blurry.

"... Strange... I didn’t feel like I used that much energy... oh? Unless... yeah, that must be his blessing."

She took a deep breath and got to the ground, trying to regain her composure.

She opened her eyes once to see the city in ruins, then closed them, then opened them again to see the space cracking.

"!!!!"

The fabric of reality broke again, falling into pieces. She fell to the ground and her eyes shone again.

"You really need to learn when to quit, boy."

Above her, back on the platform, two Doras stood next to Candace’s bubbles, Solaria, and Ratoncia, with green and red eyes.

"Bold, coming from someone over 1000 years old," Gamma said, crossing his arms.

The Queen looked at them both, her eyes starting to turn orange.

"You don’t look as annoying as the other brat, taking care of you will be a walk in the garden."

Beta flinched, Gamma narrowing his eyes.

"It was just a fusion of four characters, our maximum could be six. It’s all but annoying, you hag."

Gloria put two fingers together, slowly raising her hand. Gamma gritted his teeth, while Beta panicked.

"W-w-wait! We brought you here because we have a plan! We’re going with plan C, look!"

He snapped his fingers and three new bubbles appeared, containing Artesis, Nosfera, and Vixen, all slightly injured.

The earth began to shake under the Queen’s terrible pressure.

"You... how far are you going to go to piss me off?"

"... Actually, we’re trying to negotiate with you..." Beta turned his index fingers.

"No, we’re blackmailing her. Listen, hag, as you can see your precious people are in our hands. And now, why not change the rules of your actions? Unless you wish to see us bring them to the ground. And trust me, it will be faster than you can imagine."

The maids shouted inaudible words from their prison, Candace on her knees watched helplessly.

Gloria kept her eyes on the two Doras and slowly lowered her gaze.

"What kind of actions are you talking about? You want me to stop fighting, I presume?"

Gamma showed a wide smile.

"... No."

- We want you to give everything.

A black ray pierced the Queen’s chest from behind.
