The Great Ancestor's magic was simply of a level that could be catalogued as "Divine" and perhaps even above that, "Supreme" might also be a better word to describe it.
Her magic alone conjured a giant formation out of thin air… Which wasn't actually a formation, as Medea realized this power came from not only the Great Ancestor's connection to her Goddess, but also from her own cultivated magic power.
"Her Magic is similar to mine on some aspects, but… also tied with the Divine Realm of the Gods…" Medea thought, her countless crimson eyes beginning to disappear one after another, as her magic power was being not only suppressed, but drained. "That wasn't even a Spell but just her Will exuding from her Aura…"
"Hey, don't forget us."
"Ah!"
Medea's eyes widened, as she saw a huge golden werewolf appear behind her, over five meters of height, perhaps the largest of his species she had ever seen in her life.
"He's enormous?!"
"RAAAAHHHH!"
With a ferocious roar, Beowulf swung his massive claws, tearing through Medea's spectral body and slicing her almost into two clean halves.
"{Golden Wolf's Divine Aura Arts}: {Blazing Explosion}!"
"Ungh?!"
Medea's eyes widened, as she suddenly saw countless golden flames spread through her body, this was also not something she expected to see from a werewolf.
"He has Magical Powers of this level?!"
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
Before she could even do anything else, her entire body exploded into countless pieces, giant explosions of golden flames and light covering the sky.
Beowulf smiled, landing into the pile of rubble that were the many buildings created by the Domain in this space.
"Heh, what a weakling…"
He quickly took off his sunglasses, looking behind him as his large, black nose smelled something.
"But it looks like you're not gone yet, huh? Persistent little cockroach…!"
As she smiled viciously, suddenly a large swarm of shadows appeared above him, unifying once more into Medea.
"Just how many of those shadows did she left behind?" The Great Ancestor sighed. "Are you really going to struggle pointlessly?"
"Heheh… I already said I would test your abilities, didn't I?!" Medea said. "I haven't even showed you what I can do myself!"
She raised her spectral, shadow arms into the skies, as she activated her magic, and similarly to the Great Ancestor, hundreds of magic circles were conjured in an instant, fusing into a massive formation, taking the shape of a giant black star.
"{Great Dark Magia Manifest}: {Thousand-Pointed Black Star Pentagram Formation}!"
"Hm?!"
Beowulf suddenly found himself trapped within the formation, as the thousand of points within the star spun around, and he found himself being attacked by thousands of magical explosions within a split second.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Beowulf's entire body was engulfed by massive explosions, the likes that could easily leave a gigantic crater in the city, but multiplied by thousands of times, all within a small space.
This was one of Medea's ultimate spells!
"HAHAHAHA!"
She laughed, having trapped Beowulf inside of her formation, she didn't have to worry about him anymore.
"Now that-"
"I should probably do something myself as well."
TRUUUMMM!!!
Clementine spoke, and as she talked, a gigantic shockwave of pure mana engulfed Medea completely, as her spectral body suddenly froze.
"H-Huh?!"
And then, it turned into stone.
"What?!"
Medea, who had never imagined the Vampire Queen to hold such an immense power, realized her entire spectral familiar was now a giant statue that was standing on top of the paved, cracked floor of the city.
"S-She has Magic Eyes of Petrification?!"
The ancient witch was left flabbergasted, such a powerful type of Magic Eye such as these was not something normal at all!
Only a selected few, descendants of the Ancient Medusa and her sisters, could ever hold such an incredible power.
And they were so rare that they were less than the fingers of one hand across the entire world!
And yet, among them, Clementine was one?!
"Instant Petrification…! What a terrifying power…! It could be considered an Instant Death Spell by many, but it actually is not that scary once you get to my level…"
Crack, crack…!
Cracks began to spread through the statue, as a spectral, phantasmal tentacle emerged, and then…
CRAAASH!
The entire statue shattered into pieces, revealing the spectral being within it, Medea's Familiar was fine, although it had lost a part of its mass, which had turned into stone.
"Oh? So you freed yourself, it helps you're just a spectral being I suppose," Clementine smiled. "But that won't do."
TRUUUMMM!!!
"Ngh?!"
Suddenly, Medea was frozen once more, petrified.
"Again?! S-She can use it continuously?!"
It was well known in the underworld that those that held the Magic Eyes of Petrification had a "cooldown" to use it again.
Repeated usage could risk their eyes exploding into a bloody mess after all, and because all those that held it, according to Medea's information carried only barely a bit of Medusa and her sisters' divine blood, they were almost the same as just normal humans.
But… Clementine was not a human.
She was a Vampire, and a Vampire Queen at that!
Her Durability and Regeneration abilities were far too superior to humans to make it fair.
She never feared her eyes being destroyed, and she never really went through any backlash due to her origins.
Above all, Clementine was also a witch.
"Such an annoying bitch…!"
Medea's statue floated in midair, using the statue body as a shell.
"If she's going to continue petrifying me endlessly, then I'll simply hide inside the stone and conjure as much magic as I can! HAH!"
"{Great Dark Magia Manifest}: {Ten-Thousand Black Voids}!"
FLAAAASH!
Hundreds of magic circles manifested, combined into an Instant Magic Formation, and bombarded Clementine with massive spheres of darkness, made entirely out of matter-devouring void.
"Hmph…"
Clementine smiled, as the spheres reached her body, bombarding her completely.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Medea smiled within her petrified body, glancing through her stone-made eyes.
"So she calls herself a witch but simply had no response against that, pathetic! She's just like that dog, strong but so what?! You're just monsters that-"
RUMBLE!
A shockwave of blood-colored energy was released from Clementine, the smoke dissipated, revealing her completely unscathed body, and dress.
She was fine.
"H-Huh?"
