What...what is this? What’s happening to her?

"Oh, you broke free, half-breed? No matter...," Remarked Plasmuk, as he sent a wave of sludge barreling out towards her.

She lifted her gaze with a menacing growl, before slowly raising her left arm and then rapidly swinging it across as the purple energy swirled around it intensely.

An immensely powerful shockwave then exploded out, blowing away the incoming wave of sludge with devastating force, as I quickly put up a barrier in front of myself in alarm.

She then threw back her head and let out a deafening roar, the entire cavern shaking as her voice echoed throughout the space, ear-piercingly loud.

Uh, Azazel...what’s happening?

’The seal broke. You see, the truth is that Izzy is actually far more powerful than her father, King Satan. With her full power, she’s likely the most powerful being in the world. That black, bone-like layer over her right eye was a seal. While she had unimaginable power inside of her, she could not control it. The slight amount of anger or even simple annoyance was enough to send her power bursting out of control, and it would overwhelm her mind and consciousness, turning her into a rampaging beast.

She was so uncontrollably powerful that King Satan ended up developing this sealing technique to keep her power suppressed. What you’ve seen of her power before this, is in reality a mere fraction of her full power. After the seal was placed on her, she forgot all about her true power, we’d dodge the question whenever she asked about the layer over her right eye.

You know how impulsive she can be, she’d likely try to forcibly break the seal out of curiosity if she knew, so we kept it from her. However, in order to ensure her safety and survival, King Satan implanted a couple of conditions, where the seal would be broken if those conditions were met.

If and when she ever feels truly helpless and desperate, overwhelmed by a more powerful opponent...the seal will break. She met those conditions just now, and the seal broke as a result...she may very well be able to defeat the Slime King now. But she’ll likely attack us afterwards...,’ Explained Azazel, as I enclosed my body within a dense multi-layered barrier, while Izzy began to go berserk, stomping on the ground and unleashing bursts of purple energy, which vaporized everything that it came into contact with.

Is there no way to stop her? And what exactly is that purple energy that’s overflowing all around her?

’We can stop her, though it won’t be easy...King Satan taught me the sealing technique, if you can get your hand over her right eye for, at most, five seconds, I can seal her full power again. And I don’t know what that energy is...what I do know, is that it’s even more destructive that her Dragon Fire. It may not spread like those blue flames, but it instantly wipes out all traces of anything she fires it at. Which is why placing a new seal on her won’t be easy...’

Well, let’s not think too far ahead...first, she needs to win this fight.

As Izzy let out a deafening, feral roar, the purple energy swirled around her rapidly before exploding outwards in a shockwave, vaporizing all the sludge and bedrock it came into contact with.

My eyes widened in alarm before I quickly opened a large portal into my Pocket Dimension in front of myself...Lumena was almost right directly behind my position, so I managed to shield her with this as well.

If I’d tried to put up a barrier or something, that purple energy would’ve broken right through and probably killed me. There’s probably no way to defend against it physically, so my only option was to use a portal as a shield.

"What is this power? It’s far beyond what I encountered against the Demon King...but it would appear that you are no longer in control of yourself, therefore-...," Began Plasmuk, as he sent several snaking tendrils of sludge shooting in towards her from multiple directions, before abruptly trailing off as she unleashed another shockwave burst of purple energy, blowing the tendrils away before any of them could touch her.

She then roared again viciously as she began firing out blasts of purple energy all over the place, wiping out chunks of the cavern and large globs of sludge with every blast. She’s so powerful, but...

’Yeah. She’s attacking at random, just lashing out all around her. As powerful as she is right now, it won’t be enough to take down the Slime King unless she focuses all her attention on him.’

Hm, in that case, I’ve got an idea. I’ve never done this before, but here goes...

I then closed my eyes and focused, as I began formulating a new Light Attribute Spell in my head...this is gonna be pretty complex, but I can’t afford to screw it up.

Okay, I’ve got it ready...let’s see, the distance is just about within the range of my Distance Casting, good. Please, let this work...

I then activated the Spell over the crater I’d created with that massive Black Hole Spell earlier, a Magic Circle appearing before a humanoid shape of sludge suddenly manifested in the crater...or at least, that’s what it looked like.

Izzy let out a growl as she noticed and turned towards the illusion I’d just created...normally, illusions fall under the Dark Attribute, but that involves affecting the target’s mind. And trying to get too close to her right now would best suicide.

So, I used the Light Attribute instead...effectively speaking, I just created a hologram to look like Plasmuk’s humanoid form. It’s really tricky and requires a lot of focus to maintain, but I can’t afford to slip up right now...

"Huh? What is this, some kind of illusion? What are you trying to-...?" He began in a confused tone of voice, before I fired out a weak but rapid light blast at Izzy, using the hologram as cover to keep her from noticing that the blast was coming from me.

It shot through the air and went right through the hologram, before shooting straight towards her. She growled as she swung her arm across, batting it away with ease before letting out a vicious, enraged snarl and zipping forward at a blinding speed through the air.

I focused on my vision to follow her movements as best I could, and right as she closed in on my hologram, I swiftly shrunk it down, making it look like the figure was retreating into the ground.

"Oh, no...!" Exclaimed Plasmuk in alarm, as Izzy roared deafeningly and raised her fists up together, that destructive purple energy swirling around her fists violently before she swung them down at the bottom of the crater, slamming them onto the ground with a devastating impact.

I was sent flying back by the sheer force of the shockwave that erupted upon impact, letting out a stifled gasp of pain as my back slammed onto a wall, before quickly opening up a portal in front of myself as streaks of purple energy carried by the shockwave came shooting towards me...
