BOOOMMM!!!
Medea was unable to do anything against this immense, all-destructive brute force.
Frank pushed forward, breaking all boundaries and unleashing the power hidden within him.
Awakening an old skill that should have never appeared in the new future he was trying to create.
And unleashing the true flames of Wrath upon the world.
As his soul, mana, and lifeforce burned away.
He unleashed the true power of the monster hidden within him.
Wrath was a Skill that in exchange for his sanity, granted him immense power.
And his Wrathful Heart Transformation channeled the power of Wrath and unleashed it to its maximum and strongest output, attaining a new, overwhelmingly strong form.
This was a Skill that wasn't within these memories he saw, within those fragmented memories.
It was new, something that manifested in this unique scenario, a much stronger version of what he had obtained in these dreams he remembered.
If it was up to him though, he would have rather never obtained this power…
But now, overwhelmed and controlled by sheer insanity and wrath, Frank wasn't being normal anymore.
He wasn't being himself either…
Overcome by his own sorrow and frustrations, he had become the monster the world wanted him to be.
"Y-YOU MONSTER…!"
Medea screamed furiously, standing up as Frank glared at her from above, her magic erupted from her body, quickly manifesting into thousands of purple colored magic circles spinning around her.
"{Great Dark Magia Manifest}: {Thousand-Pointed Black Star Pentagram Formation}!"
Out of nowhere, the legendary and ancient witch unleashed one of her strongest spells, as the thousands of magic circles wrapped Frank and suddenly transformed into a giant black star.
"…"
His eyes glanced blankly at what was happening, before the star-shaped spell encompassed him within an indestructible formation where he was trapped.
And endlessly attacked by pure darkness, bombarded until nothing of him were left but pieces of minced flesh!
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
Medea smiled viciously, her purple hair waving by the wind as her shadowy figure could be seen slightly more clearly.
"HAHAHAHA! CAN YOU HANDLE ONE OF MY ULTIMATE SPELLS?! THE PINNACLE OF MAGECRAFT I'VE REFINED FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS?!"
RUMBLE!
Medea suddenly fell silent, realizing that something was hitting the formation with immense force.
Her eyes widened as she pushed her hands forward, intensifying the speed and attack power of her spell to her limits!
And yet…
BAAAM!
Another powerful blow could be heard, as she saw a giant crack appear through the large formation.
CRACK!
"…Eh?"
BAAAM! BAAAM! BAAAM! BAAAM!
Crack, crack…!
"Wait a second… You can't… you can't be serious…"
CRACK…!
"This is… ridiculous! He's still alive?!"
CRACK, CRACK…!
"DAMMIT!"
CRAAASH!
To her own despair, Medea saw as her star-shaped formation shattered like glass and then, through the accumulation of power being released…
BOOOMMM!!!
It exploded like a giant nuke, sending her flying away amidst the massive destruction.
At the same time, Frank emerged amidst the explosion and the smoke, his body covered on holes, which slowly began being filled with more and more flames.
"RAAAAAHHH!"
With a furious and monstrous roar, Frank leaped towards Medea, descending and aiming at her head with his massive, blazing fists.
"Y-YOU DAMN…!"
CRAAAASH!
Medea tried to teleport away, but space itself twisted and compacted around Frank due to the immense pressure he released from his body, making it impossible for her to teleport accurately!
Therefore, she received the massive blow directly, the explosion of flames engulfing her completely and the shockwave of the attack were enough to send her down through the floor.
As the floor shattered into pieces and exploded apart into countless boulders, Medea vomited blood as her shadow protection dissipated, revealing her body.
"I-Impo… ssible…! What… Ack…! What the…?!"
Shadows and darkness wrapped around her body, her wounds quickly recovered, as she stood up again, glaring at Frank with utter disbelief, gasping for air.
"GRAAAAAAHHH!"
Reduced to a roaring titan, Frank leaped towards her, catching up to Medea once more, as her magic rapidly manifested once more, several miniature formations were conjured, trapping Frank's body parts in midair!
TRUUM! TRUUM! TRUUM! TRUUM!
Each black colored star-shaped formation trapped one of his limbs, stopping him from moving in midair…
Medea slowly approached him, smiling confidently again.
"Phew, that caught me off guard, good thing you're a stupid ape," she laughed. "Whatever power you've obtained it doesn't matter; I got you and-"
CRAAASH!
Before she could speak any further, all five formations shattered by Frank's sheer strength, his fists mercilessly punched her pretty face and his legs kicked her stomach and legs, breaking them.
"AAAGGGH?!"
Medea was caught off-guard, as Frank once more exceeded her expectations!
Each attack constantly shook her entire body, even her own magic power was beginning to warp, twist, and weaken before Frank's attacks.
"UURRAAAAAHHH!"
While shedding tears of frustration, regret, and anger, Frank's fists punched through Medea's body, as his combo attack never ended.
BAAM! BAAM! BAAM! BAAM! BAAM!
"UUUUGGYYYAAAAHHHH!"
Medea couldn't defend, she could only feel agony everywhere, her entire body was being reduced to pieces as she was being torn to shreds!
"HAAAAAAHHH!"
And with every ounce of anger, frustration, and his soul, Frank's fists became ten times as big as before, punching Medea down with immense, blazing force.
BOOOMMM!!!
Until her entire body was decimated into ashes.
A massive explosion blew through the entire city, as dozens of buildings collapsed around them one after another…
"I-I can't believe this…! Frank had such power within him?!" Erika asked.
"T-That… doesn't matter! His soul, it is too weak right now!" Matsuo said. "I can feel it, he's going to die if we don't do something!"
"We have to go help him!" Harumi nodded.
Leaving Elfina, Sol, and Fiere inside a barrier bubble conjured by Matsuo, the trio rushed down towards Frank.
"FRANK!"
They found him there, barely alive…
He was on his knees, his giant body was slowly burning away, fading into black ashes.
His flames were slowly extinguished.
But at least…
He managed to destroy that monster.
"Matsuo! Get ready to heal him, we have to-"
TRUUUM!
As Harumi was speaking, however, something within the space around them twisted.
And then, dozens of black shadows appeared, shaped exactly…
"Hahahaha! HAHAHAH!"
Exactly like Medea.
