Abyss Draconis

The second he activated Tyrant Form—Frostborne Calamity Dragon skill, the entire abyss shattered into an unending black hole.

His humanoid form ruptured as raw, unfiltered Apex Energy screamed through his veins.

A flash of white light instantly drowned everything as the entire world lost its color.

RIIIIIIIIIIIIIP

RIIIIIIIIIIIIIPP

Two massive, 30-meter-long wings burst from Ryuk's back before they split and reformed, becoming larger, sharper, and layered with crystallized frost.

His entire frame broke and reassembled, each piece forged in a faint cosmic level aura.

Hands twisted into claws the size of mountains.

Spines jutted from his back, giving way to a gigantic ice-covered tail, 50 meters in length, whipping behind him like a living weapon.

Ryuk was no humanoid.

He had turned into a horror.

A fusion of dragon and primordial evil.

The black hole revolving around him had its temperature dropped to absolute zero, instantly becoming a halo of frost and void that enveloped his figure.

Every inch of his frost-red scales shimmered like frozen galaxies.

His snout elongated, his body lowered onto all fours, becoming a 60-meter embodiment of death.

His eyes blazed with primal draconic fury as the system notification blinked before him.

[Absolute Transformation Skill Has Been Successfully Overlapped]

[All Host's stats have jumped from 1,500 stat points to 5,000!!!]

[Beware, this strain, however, cannot be borne for long!]

The system blinked, but Ryuk turned his furious gaze toward the formless figure before him.

This was the person responsible for his horrors.

The one who had stolen his body, and he could tell—because the figure's entire skeletal frame was his!

He could feel his heart beating as if he had found what he'd lost. And for that reason...

Ryuk decided to unleash the deepest madness within him—and strike with a horror that the being before him would never forget.

Without wasting another second, his maw opened wide.

______

[Special Breath: Cryo-Annihilation Beam]

Unleash the true breath of a Frost Calamity Dragon: A wide, continuous beam of pale blue-white energy that erases magic, heat, and life.

Melts through dimensional barriers, and anything caught within is erased on an existential level, leaving not even ashes.

Cost: Half of the Host's total Stamina!

____

The air screamed in silence as Apex Energy spiraled downward, condensing into a sphere of blinding blue-white radiance deep in his throat.

Then—release.

A beam exploded forth, a single lance of extinction.

The Cryo-Annihilation Beam tore through the world in a straight, unforgiving line toward the 7th Calamity, whose dark robes flapped wildly as he watched the beam absorb light and space, erasing them and ceasing them to exist.

Instantly, his hands moved.

The staff he held was peeled of its bandage, revealing a pitch-black rod brimming with an unholy wave of abyssal energy.

With a single chant, he swung the staff downward.

"Calamitous Abyss Rend!"

A centric arc of pitch-black color cleaved the sky, clashing headlong into the beam of absolute cold, and then—

KAABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

Ice and abyssal flame collided in a detonation that reduced the entirety of Grade E into an absolute dead zone.

Reality fractured around the impact. Sound ceased to exist, creating a world-ending silence. Space churned into chaos, unleashing a gigantic black hole.

The Cryo-Annihilation Beam dimmed, slowed down from the attack, but it did not stop.

The staff only held the attack for five seconds before the beam devoured it.

Black light flailed violently to resist, but even they were devoured into nothingness.

As the 7th Calamity's body was blasted through the upper atmosphere, soon breaching the stratosphere, and then he nearly vanished.

Space.

And beneath, Ryuk watched with cold, impassive eyes, the notification flashing by his side.

[Stamina: 5000 (-2,500)]

But in the next instant, both of his wings rose high into the air, and then—

FLAAAPPPP!

A single flap as a powerful blizzard tore through what was formerly Grade E, before Ryuk's silhouette shot through the sky, bypassing all layers of the atmosphere before he arrived in the dark void of space.

His gaze sharpened when he saw a distant, dull cosmic body floating nearby, cracks snaking across its surface for miles, and lodged into it was none other than the 7th Calamity, slowly digging out of the star's crust.

Shock and disbelief painted his skeletal expression as he looked at Ryuk standing in the void before him. But then, anger blazed within his hollow skull-like eyes, yet before he could say a word,

He watched as Ryuk slowly raised his right clawed hand toward the stars above...

______

[Signature Attack: Glacial Cataclysm!]

The Host summons and hurls down mountain-sized frozen spikes made of crystallized ice, each spike imbued with the force of a falling comet.

Cooldown: 1 hour!

____

From the darkness above the 7th Calamity, the void of space began to bleed ice.

Cracks laced across its entirety, and from those cracks, monoliths of stylized ice began to form—each one the size of enormous mountains, jagged and glaming with glowing runes of ancient frost.

They gathered— Ten. Twenty. Thirty.

Each spike was larger than a megastructure before Ryuk's claw slapped downwards, and instantly, the mountains of ice were hurled downward toward the 7th Calamity, who felt the hands of death rubbing his soul from the power of the attack.

And in that instant, he made his move.

His skeletal form gave rise to the birth of pitch-black Abyssal runes, cloaking him in a rolling wave of darkness as he raised his staff.

His burning, hollow black eyes flared with abyssal brilliance and then—even in the absence of air—the voice pierced through the void...

"Calamitous Knull Skill: Oblivion Vortex!"

The staff began to spin—slowly at first, then faster, faster, and faster—until the very fabric of space trembled.

A spiral of pitch-black energy erupted from its tip, twisting into a hungry forest of devouring void.

It expanded impossibly wide, reaching to meet the first of the descending spikes—and then...

Both Calamitous Skills made contact!
