Frank fiercely clashed against the brainwashed Elfina, using the replicated version of Ginnungagap, the spear she was wielding, to unleash a barrage of powerful techniques. No techniques that were made by him, but powerful techniques and even spells imprinted into the spear itself.
Indeed, turns out that the spears were so strong and made Elfina so amazing at fighting because they already came with skills of their own, and anybody that wielded them could access these powerful skills!
Of course, he tried to wield the white spear and was immediately rejected, so it was kind of impossible unless the spears accepted the person.
However, Frank had a way to cheat that, by replicating the spear using Tracing and Projection, he made a version of the spear which he could wield, giving him access to its weakened original imprinted abilities.
And there were many of them!
From the Aura he had unleashed which enhanced his stats and elemental power and movement speed and dexterity, to this barrage of attacks right now, and even mightier spells.
"{Piercing Spear Attack}! {Holy Lance}! {Shining Heaven}!"
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
Powerful thrusting blows, accompanied by explosions of light and then an eruption of bright white light accompanied Frank's attacks, as Elfina could only step back, overwhelmed for a single second with all the blows coming and going!
"Nnnggh…!"
The elf girl stepped back again, only for her aura to manifest a giant devil like before, firing beams of void at Frank!
Frank quickly decided to not take that head-on, and instead make it impact something of similar composition.
In his free hand, he compressed a mini domain he created on the spot using raw Mana, wrapped it around a barrier made of mana too.
Until he conjured one of his strongest Spells!
"{Gravity Sphere}!"
Not once, but dozens of them at once!
The spells clashed against each other, explosions of spatial energies erupted, twisting space and generating many shockwaves.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
As this happened, Erika attacked Elfina from behind, clashing against her Devil Aura from her Black Spear and then swinging her claws against her, trying to hurt her somehow.
However, the Devil Aura didn't let her, its massive hands and claws made of shadows and void would constantly push the werewolf away.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
"Dammit!"
Erika felt frustrated, clashing against the Devil Aura and then ultimately getting pushed down into the ground as the massive piece of land moved through the city even now.
CRAAASH!
Frank noticed Erika struggling to fight the Devil Aura, but not completely losing either, she was holding it back, buying him time.
"It's now or never!"
Frank ran towards Elfina, the elf girl quickly greeted him with her black spear, regaining her momentum and unleashing a barrage of attacks.
"Let's go all-out!"
Frank roared, his Aura erupting as several black markings appeared around his body, glowing with purple light and clouds.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
He used his replicated spear to intercept Elfina, barely managing to keep up with her with the raw physical power that the Orochi Blessing and his half-snake dragon transformation granted to him.
"RUBY!"
"RAAAARRR!"
And out of nowhere, Ruby appeared from above Elfina, unleashing a storm of endless flames against her before the elf could do anything!
Her spear was concentrated on Frank, her Devil Aura on Erika, and the White Spear was constantly trying to fight its way towards her, stopped by dozens of stone hands every second.
The result was quite obvious!
BOOOMMM!!!
The flames coming from Ruby spent all her Mana in that moment, it was the greatest inferno the little wyvern pet could unleash in that moment, after her two weeks of intense training!
"D-Did that do it-"
CRAAASH!
"UGH?!"
However, at that moment, Elfina's black spear pierced Frank's chest, and his heart.
He vomited blood, as he glanced at Elfina's empty eyes glaring at him.
Her body was burning even now, and yet, the darkness protected her to an extent.
"…"
The elf girl smiled maliciously, as she saw Frank bleeding, his heart pierced, as it stopped beating in that moment.
"A-Ah…! Ugh…!"
He fell to the ground, to his knees, as Erika, Harumi, and Matsuo realized what happened…
"FRANK!!!"
As they screamed in horror, the witch in the distance laughed.
"AHAHAHA! IT'S DONE! NOW OFFER ME HIS COSMIC HEART AND SOUL! THAT IS THE ONLY THING WE NEED TO FEED MY LORD AND- Eh?""
However, in that moment, she realized something wrong was going on…
Purple spoke slowly was coming out of Frank's wounds, and his body gained countless cracks…
And then he smiled.
BOOOM!
His entire body exploded into purple divine poison, shaped as hundreds of snakes, they coiled around Elfina, who had lowered her guard"
"Guuh!"
Elfina made a little welp in disgust as the snakes began wrapping around her and biting her, injecting her with paralyzing venom stopping her for a second.
"Wait, that wasn't Frank, it was a clone?!" Matsuo asked.
"A clone made of poison, like what the Koga Saburo guy did!" Harumi said.
"Then where is he- Ah!" Erika looked into the distance, as everyone saw Frank touching a holy white spear while being constantly electrocuted.
"Seventy percent…!"
As he grit his teeth while tracing circuits appeared through the hostile white spear, Frank was washed by a holy light healing him.
Yes, that holy light that healed him came from the very spear he copied!
"Eighty… percent!"
As Frank groaned, he noticed Elfina finally realizing where he was!
"Ninety… percent!"
As he was about to finally trace the spear fully, the white spear released a shockwave of holy light, impacting him at full power!
BOOOMMM!!!
Frank, however, held his ground, even as his body was being burned!
"RAAAAAHHHH!"
His eyes shone bright white and gold, as Elfina reached him, her black spear aiming at his head while he concentrated on fully tracing the spear!
"Oh no, you won't!"
However, Harumi and Erika appeared in front of Frank, stopping Elfina from attacking him!
CLAAASH!
At the same time, Matsuo stepped forward, trapping Fiere and Sol inside of Barriers and stopping them for a brief second.
"FRANK, DO IT!"
As everyone put their faith on the young man, the white spear finally returned to Elfina's hand!
And yet…
RUMBLE!
Frank emerged amidst the smoke; his body completely healed back.
And his aura transformed, shaped as a heavenly angel of light and void…
"One Hundred Percent Traced!"
