Spiral of Madness: Ascension of the Villainous Dragon Prince-Chapter 118: Fierce Battle For Frostbane [1] — Slaughtering Entities I
-----
When they had Tisha cornered, the Entities truly believed they had finally won. This was just the beginning of their revenge. Yeah, perhaps she managed to kill Apartment 101’s Tenant, but he was a necessary sacrifice that the leader, Geometric Man, was willing to accept after being confined in those containment zones for over twenty years—his powers drained, analyzed, and reproduced into new equipment.
The Ruined Guardian, who once emerged from a Dimensional Rift deep inside Aztec Ruins, capable of bending the earth to his will and summoning its wrath.
The Joyful Jester, who manifested in the middle of a child’s birthday party, slaughtering over thirty children while laughing.
The Azure Phoenix, said to be an ancient, wrathful spirit of the Eastern Sea who had sunk over thirty ships before being contained.
And the Geometric Man, once known as Carlos Villanueva, a mathematics professor from Mexico who, after being infected with Fantasium and going utterly insane, became a monster embodying his own work.
These four Entities suddenly felt immense dread as something descended from the skies. Before Tisha could sacrifice herself, this "Entity’s" claws froze her heart, stopping her auto-destruction, and at the same time attacked all four simultaneously.
"Who are you?!" The Ruined Guardian reacted first. He raised giant pillars of ruins and hard stone, attacking from every angle. The strange Entity endured all the damage and then smashed the pillars apart with bare fists. "W-Wha...?!"
Before the other three Entities’ eyes, a gigantic sword of darkness and despair manifested. It glowed with phantasmal, ghostly flames and split the Ruined Guardian into two, then three, four, five, six, and seven parts. His three cores shattered into pieces.
"I-Impossible...!"
BOOOM!
With his three cores destroyed, the energy within them erupted. As his body crumbled, it combusted and exploded, causing a small catastrophe that flattened the surrounding area completely.
"What?!"
Geometric Man stared at the man who had descended—a giant over four meters tall, with dark gray skin, metallic silver scales, long white hair blazing like flames, a pair of long demon-like golden horns, glowing eyes of gold and red, four enormous muscular arms, and giant skeletal wings and tails. He looked almost like one of them, another Entity.
Yet this "Entity" fought against them instead of allying so they could escape together and enact revenge. The Azure Phoenix tried to negotiate with the monster who had just killed one of them.
"You’re one of us! Why are you fighting us?! We must work together. We’ve already arranged that we must cooperate. Once we’re free and have taken revenge, we can—"
The giant didn’t listen. He silently opened his jaws and unleashed a blast of infernal, ghostly flames. The Azure Phoenix raised walls of ice and water to resist, only to be overwhelmed by the heat and then exploded into steam.
"Gyyaaaaaaaccck!"
As the Azure Phoenix ceased to exist in that moment, the remaining Entities—the Joyful Jester and the Geometric Man—quickly distorted reality around them, cornering him from left and right. He still had to bring the woman he saved to safety, but...
"I’ve experienced this many times."
The giant smiled bitterly. He recalled having endured this before, when he had been engulfed in Fantasy Mind Realms by the Bosses of the Dimensional Labyrinth. On one side, endless mathematical formulas and geometric shapes warped reality. From the other, endless joy and whimsy emerged—laughing clowns, dancing jesters, colors, confetti, balloons, and music.
The two Entities were directly attacking his Fantasy Heart and his Mind, slowly eroding them to take him over as their vessel. Instead of fleeing, they chose this path because of his immense power, deciding to make this strange, mutated human their combined vessel.
However.
"Why don’t you take a look deep inside my mind as well? Deep inside my heart."
"...?!"
"...!!!"
The two Entities gasped. Ashes fell from the sky. Ice began consuming their domains, freezing their legs. Salt poured from their mouths. Then, in disbelief and agony, dozens of swords made of light pierced their bodies.
When they realized what was happening, they found themselves standing in the middle of a garden of white lilies. A red rose stared at them with a single gleaming eye.
"Where...!"
"What is this?!" 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
The Entities groaned. They rapidly tried to warp space and escape, but it was too late.
The red rose attacked, spreading its vines around them and dragging them down into the garden, slowly breaking their existences into fertilizer.
Suddenly every white lily opened eyes and sharp-toothed jaws, biting through their existences and tearing apart what made them what they were.
"Aaaaahhhh!"
"Gaaaahhh!"
Both monsters screamed in agony and despair. They had never imagined that what they inflicted on others could ever happen to them.
And then they realized they were back in reality. Their Fantasium Souls warped and twisted, their bodies covered in countless cracks, slowly crumbling.
"Nnngghhh...!"
"Guuuggh...!"
Both fell to their knees, desperately trying to hold their falling bodies together. Their cores were also affected, gaining cracks. One shattered instantly when they regained consciousness.
Just what was all of that? How was it possible for Entities themselves to be trapped inside a human’s mind and suffer such damage?
It went against all the logic they had known as Entities born from the Hintergrid.
"You’ve never fought Spiralwalkers before, have you?" The giant walked toward them. Each step made the ground rumble.
"You’re a Spiralwalker!"
"Damn human!"
"Don’t you recognize who I am? I know both of you," the giant smiled. "I am Louis Drakeheart Yggdrasil. The child you always saw watching you in your containment."
"What?!"
"Gaah?!"
Both Entities screamed as Louis’s giant hands grabbed their heads. They fought back, unleashing their Authorities and trying to distort his body.
However, the power of his Spiral, the dozens of souls he had sacrificed, and all the strength he had cultivated resisted their corruption.
And instead...
FLUOSH!
"Guuaaaahhhh!"
"Aaaaaahhh!"
They began burning as Nirvana Flames engulfed their bodies. Their Souls ignited, and their cores began shattering. Louis constantly increased the strength of his Nirvana Flames, burning them with even greater hatred.
"I always wanted to kill all of you disgusting creatures. Good riddance."
