"I will now shatter your core," Noah declared. "Do not resist, Heroic Spirit."
"You are underestimating me quite severely, aren't you?" Elayne's gaze turned sharp with icy resolve. "I am not merely 'one' of me. Similar to you, I can be numerous."
"...?!"
Noah's eyes widened in alarm as he sensed Elayne's core erupt and detonate, severing his leg and a significant portion of his body in a colossal explosion.
"Wha...?!"
As he choked and coughed up blood, the horrifying realization dawned upon him: Elayne had simply shed one of her many bodies.
And then...
From the depths of the earth, the colossal tree he had believed extinguished by his domain's infallible attacks burst forth once more from underground.
The entire vicinity was violently upended. Structures toppled upside down, and the very pavement disintegrated into countless fragments.
Pipes and water conduits vaporized as the earth churned with incandescent magma and raw spirit energy.
"T-This is...!"
His eyes widened in disbelief as he witnessed the pulsing Leylines of Japan itself, which Elayne had already subjugated and claimed as her dominion.
Through the agency of her unique Spirit Treasure, Elayne channeled the formidable influence of the 'World Boss' residing within Arcadia, merging it with the profound Spirit Magic she had long ago perfected as Planta.
"Land Spirit Call! Unmovable Mountain! Geomancy! Grace of Nature!"
Land spirits flooded forth in legions numbering in the tens of thousands, conjuring colossal, mountain-sized titans that slammed into Noah, driving him through the debris.
Noah crossed his arms in a defensive posture, expanding his aura into hundreds of blazing claws and fists that tore through the stone spirits.
However, directly beneath him, countless fire spirits erupted, coalescing into unending combustion detonations that engulfed Noah within a single, searing second.
They transmuted into piercing laser beams that scythed through his body, reducing him to mere ashes. Faeries composed of pure flame materialized, immolating him as they summoned towering infernos.
A furious roar escaped Noah's lips. His lifeblood ascended to level four, and his lifeforce and mana surged outward explosively. His physique mutated, transforming into a massive, powerfully muscled goliath.
His regenerative capabilities became preternaturally swift. He punched through the inferno and even the sunlight itself, distorting space and annihilating every spirit until they ceased to exist.
Elayne pressed her assault without pause, causing the very Leylines to erupt with their immense spiritual energy. Dozens of spirits representing every element surged upwards like monumental pillars, detonating around Noah and bombarding him with unrelenting elemental assaults.
Throughout his extensive existence, Noah had confronted innumerable formidable adversaries. Even the most terrifying Noble Vampires, who commanded dominion over the three great houses within the Dark Realm of Abyss, had never presented such a dire threat.
And yet, Elayne's onslaught was far from over.
Nature spirits surged forth as verdant flora erupted from his wounds and skin, piercing his flesh, tearing through his skull, brain, and vital organs. Elongated branches forcibly ejected his eyes from their sockets.
Noah bellowed in agony, but he rapidly transformed into a crimson embodiment of fury. His energies combusted across his entire being until his skin glowed a brilliant red, akin to a demon. The plants ensnaring him were instantly incinerated, vanishing into ash.
Tens of thousands of Wind and Stone spirits manifested, fusing into titanic constructs fashioned from luminous, floating emerald jewels. They unleashed ceaseless tornadoes of razor-sharp winds, demolishing scores of buildings and reducing the landscape to flatness.
Noah roared with unrestrained wrath. He contorted space and shattered the colossal beings with a resounding clap of his gigantic hands, then relentlessly pursued Elayne, tracking her every manifestation. However, dozens of her ephemeral clones continuously materialized and dematerialized all around him.
"This is becoming quite absurd," he muttered, shaking his head.
Noah allocated a portion of his vast reserves of Blood Energy and Mana to amplify his domain tenfold. In that instant, hundreds of thousands of Shadow Specters and Blood Bats materialized, their onslaught breaching all of Elayne’s clones and the massive subterranean roots beneath the city.
They attempted to obliterate her through this means, but she persistently regenerated more and more entities while conjuring even grander magical feats, continuously neutralizing Noah’s guaranteed-hit abilities.
Fissures ripped across the sky. Millions of Water Spirits poured forth, merging into potent currents that formed vast oceans, submerging Noah’s entire domain in a single, overwhelming second.
The intense pressure was lethal, contorting his already augmented form and tearing it asunder.
Concurrently, his domain's infallible attacks faltered and disintegrated before they could make contact with her.
However...
Noah thrust both hands forward. Space warped according to his will once more, and the entire colossal tsunami simply ceased to exist. The spirits perished instantly.
Simultaneously, his eyes gleamed with a dark, potent power.
"I have witnessed ample displays of your spells," he proclaimed. "I too possess such capabilities, you understand?"
"...?!"
Elayne's eyes widened in astonishment as Noah's aura pierced the Leylines, leveraging his Will and Soul to forcefully usurp control over her authority.
"I can engage in the same game."
His eyes blazed with a scarlet and golden light. An immense surge of spiritual energy erupted from his being, manifesting as a colossal pillar of vibrant hues that rapidly descended into shadow. Elayne let out a piercing scream of pain, sensing the agony within every spirit. They were being defiled and distorted, their once harmonious essence twisted into grotesque, monstrous shapes. Billions upon billions of Blood Spirits materialized, unleashing a relentless downpour of sharp, life-draining droplets. Elayne's ever-expanding wooden form began to shrivel and decay instantaneously as her vital essence and spiritual energy were violently siphoned away. The nocturnal shadows coalesced, forming an immense, writhing vortex of profound darkness. Droplets of pure void rained down, striking Elayne's colossal structure with impacts that warped and fractured the very fabric of space. Spectral spirits poured forth from all directions, manifestations of death birthed from the Demon King of Death's incursion. These phantoms transmuted into countless spectral abominations, cackling with wild glee as they swarmed Elayne from every conceivable angle, tearing her asunder while their ethereal blades inflicted grievous wounds upon her spiritual body and very soul. At last, Noah callously clenched his palms, instantly annihilating all the spirits within his grasp. From their demise, a noxious black miasma billowed forth, multiplying into perverse miasma spirits. These spread relentlessly, transforming into a voracious blackness that consumed all in its path. Elayne's existence, both body and soul, began to be utterly devoured.
