Chapter 1856: The Mighty Mad Doctor
Just when they were about to kill Victoriano before he was to become a greater threat, the doctor unleashed all his power at once, controlling the naturally occurring thunderbolts of the sky to fry his opponents with as many bolts as possible.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Drake was able to bear with the agony and his body being constantly fried alive and regenerating, but not his daughters, who were completely paralyzed and agonizing.
"Aaarrggh!"
"Uuuggh!"
"Girls!"
As Drake saw his daughters suffering over being constantly electrocuted, he quickly unleashed his psychic powers, creating barriers for them to protect them from the thunderbolts, which were also partially made from psychic energy.
However, midway through it...!
"Oh no, you won"t!"
"Uurgh?!"
BAAAM! BAAAM! BAAAM! BAAAM!
Drake was caught off-guard, Victoriano appearing behind him and slamming his body dozens of times with his ma.s.sive mechanical arm. As he was sent flying closer to his daughters by his sneaky attack from behind, Drake noticed Victoriano"s body.
Although he was sure his daughters had opened his guts and cut off his limbs apart, somehow the b.a.s.t.a.r.d was still alive. While constantly bleeding and with his innards cut apart and his living limbs destroyed, he was barely moving.
He noticed that his giant mechanical arm was expanding across the doctor"s body into countless of metallic wires and tendrils, sewing him back and fusing with him.
"I won"t let you...! I won"t let you kill meeee...!" he groaned, looking more like a zombie now, completely pale. "I"ll make you go through what I did! A-And... Aaaand I...! Ugh...! I-I...! I"ll revive them!"
He was going insane, the nanomachines fusing with his flesh and blood to an even deeper level, sooner or later, he would become more machine than human.
"This b.a.s.t.a.r.d"s as insane as everyone else in this d.a.m.n world!"
Drake spun in midair, recovering from the attack and quickly touching his daughters, taking on all the lightning himself and generating barriers around them, protecting them from the electricity by redirecting it all towards him!
"Nnnggh...!"
He fell to his knees as he was being constantly cooked alive, his eyes, ears, and mouth bleeding constantly. But well, he had gone through worse pains.
His Doppelgangers weren"t just a separate part of him, as long as they were alive they were pretty much him, another half of his existence, sharing the pain, agony, and everything.
He was also mostly unable to fully detach his consciousness from them, or he would risk these doppelgangers becoming independent and then beings of their own, growing weaker as a result.
"Papa!"
"Daddy!"
Benladra and Kate rapidly recovered as they felt Gabriel"s healing light healing them, noticing their father dying and reviving over and over again.
"I"m fine!" he roared. "I"ll simply adapt... I"ll absorb this pain, this lightning... Motherf.u.c.ker, I"ll use it to blow you to pieces!"
Doctor Victoriano seemed to have full power over the dark clouds above the train, which were constantly sending thunderbolts against his opponents, as if it were a pa.s.sive ability.
"So you think you can take on this pain and agony on your own?!" laughed Victoriano. "You"re... you"re a good father, huh? Sacrificing... yourself for your kids... Nnggh...! Not... Not like me! Huh?! Not... not like meeee!"
As he screamed, the man shed the few tears he had left, jumping towards Drake and swinging his electrified mechanical arms, now almost completely covered with a machine armor.
"DIEEEE!"
Drake gritted his teeth, while dying and reviving through his powers constantly, he clashed back against him, turning Gabriel into a pair of mechanical knuckles powered by the lightning burning him constantly, the two fathers started a good ol" fistfight.
BAAM! BAAM! BAAM! BAAM! BAAM!
Victoriano and Drake were constantly being riddled with holes through their bodies, yet both didn"t give in, constantly pushing forward more and more.
And these were some seconds that Benladra, Kate, Astra, Belle, and Rose didn"t waste, jumping to attack Victoriano"s back!
"Daddy"s not fighting alone!"
Benladra"s golden spear overflowed with her draconic powers, unleashing a barrage of lightning-fast attacks that pierced through Victoriano"s mechanical armor, reaching his flesh
beneath.
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!
"Nnnggh?!"
"If you"re becoming more machine than human, then I can do this."
Kate swung her blade, cutting through Victoriano"s many mechanical tentacles as she infused her energies and divinity into his interior, attempting a full-on hack into his internal system.
FLAAASH!
"Nngraaarrggh! G-Get out of my head!"
Victoriano screamed loudly, grabbing his head and beginning to scratch his flesh out due to the utter agony he felt, he swung his mechanical tentacles, attempting to get Kate.
However...
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
A ghostly Vampiress made of shadows and blood energy stopped him, as she touched his shadows and turned them into hundreds of long, black chains wrapping around his limbs, stopping him from moving and cursing his soul.
"Uuuggh?! W-What is this- ACCK!"
"As long as I am here, things won"t be so easy anymore."
Rose unleashed her powers at full, as the shadow chains were constantly destroyed, only for
more to emerge. This was part of her Second Enhancement ability.
[The [Divine Blood Vampire Empress Spirit: Rose] has activated her {Enhancement +2
Effect}!]
[While touching a Foe"s Shadow, it is possible to control it to attack their Foe, transforming the Shadows into {Abyssal Shadow Chains} that decrease All their Stats by 50% and has a 1% chance per second to Paralyze them for 10 seconds for 3 Minutes.]
Not only were the chains stopping him from moving as he pleased now, but his strength had been suddenly halved! And sometimes, he would suddenly get completely paralyzed.
Just like right now!
"Uuurrggh! I-I can"t move!"
As he couldn"t move anymore, Drake quickly rushed to punch him, using Gabriel"s gauntlet form to tear through Victoriano"s body with his fists alone.
"ORAORAORAORAAAA!"
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
"Nnngruuuaaarrrgggh!"
Victoriano screamed so loudly and agonizingly as his body was losing several pieces out of it, revealing his horrendous-looking internal body where flesh and metal intermixed
grotesquely.
"He"s almost done for! I need to punch his head into pieces and...!"
As Drake"s fists were about to reach Victoriano, however, his chest opened, revealing a huge,
purple colored jewel encased on several metallic wires.
"Wha...?!"
TRUUUM!
And after charging all of its energy, a gigantic purple beam hit Drake, vaporizing through his
entire body.
BOOOMMM!!!
