As Lionel was trashed through the air by the fusion of Kireina and Rimuru, in midair, she once again appeared before his sight, without even letting him clash in the ground to have a small rest.
"Let's play a bit more, shall we?" she said, with the voices of both Kireina and Rimuru.
Lionel began to sweat intensively as he gnashed his teeth with his lion-shaped head and roared savagely, unleashing his powerful Aura.
"Agh! You bitch! GAAOOO! Golden Lion Meteor Onslaught!"
He moved his giant fists at immense speed, alongside his aura with also created phantoms of them, he tried to overpower Kireina by unleashing a technique that consisted of several blows thrown so fast that they resembled meteors.
Clash! Clash! Clash!
Kireina raised her eight arms as she intercepted all of the hits with them, which were covered in the hard armor-like exoskeleton. Each of her eight arms had a different color.
Intercepting each attack with just her arms as if it were nothing, Lionel opened his mouth wide open.
"What is it? Tired? Here, let me give you some messages. Calamity Abyss Demon Arms, Furious Slaps of the Demoness, Love Smash, Chimeric Claws."
Suddenly, Kireina's eight arms bulged into monstrous muscular limbs, which then unleashed dozens of slaps, punches, and claw attacks against Lionel's onslaught.
Clash! Clash! Clash!
"G-GAH! UOOOH! Golden Lion King Grand Punishment! Claws of Heavens!"
Lionel, however, did not give up on Kireina's immense and overwhelming attacks, intercepting her with his attacks. Creating a large wave of golden energy, he blocked Kireina's attacks while his Aura shaped into the giant paw of a Lion, clashing against her!
Clash!
"Hah! …eh?"
Lionel expected Kireina to be sent flying to the ground by his powerful Claw of Heavens… but she resisted the attack with a semi-transparent barrier that appeared above her head.
"You will need more than that, Chaotic Dark Creatures Claws, All Weapon Combo," said Kireina, her eight arms shaping themselves as different weapons and claws… and falling at immense speed towards Lionel while being enhanced by her scarlet red Aura.
Flash! Flash! Flash!
"W-What? How can you shape your body and use weapon techniques?! Ungh! GAAAHH!"
Lionel's entire body began to be pierced by Kireina's onslaught, as he tried to recover by covering himself with his Golden and Nightmarish Aura, creating an armor!
"Oh? Well, can your Aura Armor block this? Aura, Uroboros, Life Enmity," said Kireina, her Aura shaping itself like a ferocious and long dragon, converging with her arms and flowing through the air towards Lionel, beginning to eat his Aura Armor while clashing against his techniques.
Lionel felt his very soul being slowly bitten!
"S-Shit!"
"Agh! Useless pawn!" shouted Geggoron's split soul through Lionel's mind, charging his Nightmarish Aura into Lionel's Aura while recovering his wounds.
"GRAAAAA! I will show you why I am the strongest! Golden Lion King's Roar! Claws of Heavens! Claws of Nightmares! GAOOO!"
Lionel's Aura became to shape like a lion's head, roaring wildly while enhancing his capabilities, Kireina felt that some strange curse began to seep through her body, trying to lower her stats.
"I see how it is, an ability to enhances your stats and lowers your opponent's ones? Well, it only works when your enemy is intimidated, and I am not. One Thousand Corroding Diamond Hammer's Onslaught, Tyrannical Hellish Blaze Hammer," said Kireina, nonchalantly as she generated large hammers out of thin air, made out of fire and poison.
Using her multiple arms, she clashed against Lionel and began to blow his barriers and armors, while destroying the massive Lion's Claws that fell from heaven towards her.
Clash! Clash! Clash!
The phantoms of giant lion paws trying to clash against her were quickly destroyed by Kireina's hammers generated through a strange and mysterious skill that Lionel never saw before.
Her eight arms extended like snakes, clashing against him while releasing many techniques at the same time, his entire arsenal of skills and techniques was being overwhelmed by her in seconds.
Lionel fell like a meteor when he was hit by four hammers at the same time, his entire body wrenched in poison and flames.
Clash!
Lionel quickly recovered through Geggoron's split soul help and glanced above Kireina while covering his body in golden and dark armor.
Kireina smiled. After merging with Rimuru, she became three meters tall, almost the same size as Lionel. She raised her eight arms and chanted something.
"Spiritual Chaos Cannon"
Flash!
From within her Aura, a sphere of chaotic energy converging with spiritual and divine powers appeared above her head.
Then the sphere became a chaotic beam, flying towards Lionel at immense speed!
Flash!
Lionel enhanced his entire body to its limits, running and evading the beam that followed him through the battlefield. He glanced at whatever the cannon touched, it would become chaotic and strange, and even space itself began to tremble.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
"GAOOO! Crimson Nightmare Cannon!"
Lionel intercepted the Chaotic Beam with his own cannon made out of concentrated Nightmare Divinity, the Chaotic Power began to tremble until it was destroyed, but Kireina was not sitting there leisurely letting him destroy her attacks.
"Spiritual Chaos Cannon, Order Reversal," she said, conjuring yet another one above Lionel's head, blasting him through the ground.
The cannon of chaotic and spiritual energy seeped through his flesh; his entire existence began to tremble in pain.
Lionel's flesh began to twist around, he began to vomit blood, and even with his Aura helping him resist, he felt excruciating pain!
"C-Chaos Attribute Magic?!" shouted Geggoron's split soul, bewildered. He infused all of his powers inside of Lionel's body until he managed to escape the shower of Chaotic energies, recovering his body slowly.
"Resting? Here, have some snacks. Deadly Venomous Black Mist, Blood River, Phantasmagoric Apparition" said Kireina, flying towards Lionel at fast speed while conjuring different spells and converging them together with her Aura into a bizarre phantasmagoric snake covered in blood and poisonous black mist.
"GIISHAA!"
It divided itself into several snakes and fell over Lionel like a shower of destruction.
"Lion King's Grand Barrier! Lion King's Roar! Nightmarish Barrier! Nightmarish Aura Beast!"
Lionel desperately tried to fend off Kireina with his own barriers and buffs, while creating Lion-shaped beasts from his Aura, which was already fused with the Nightmarish Aura of Geggoron's split soul.
"GROWL!"
"GRAAWL!"
"GRYAAA!"
The lion-shaped monsters fought against the giant snake, biting off its body, but the black mist leaked a deadly poison that melted their jaws instantly. The snake used this opportunity to devour the lions and grow stronger, resuming its trajectory towards Lionel.
Lionel gnashed his teeth as he infused all of his powers into his fist, releasing a massive attack with his fist, blowing away the snake into magic dust, however, his fist melted into a puddle.
"Gah! T-This is Megusan's poison! So you inherited even that?!" shouted Geggoron's split soul through Lionel's mouth.
"Good job, you destroyed the snake!" laughed Kireina, detaching her eight arms, which then mutated into chaotic and grotesque beasts that rushed against Lionel, surrounding him from all sides.
"What?! Are you playing with me?! I will make you regret this! GAOOO!" roared Lionel.
Lionel began to attack the beasts with all of his powers, destroying some with his bare fist, while others began to bite his back and to fire powerful projectiles in the shape of horns, charged with Divinity Devouring, piercing his soul.
Lionel began to destroy the giant fleshy beasts and as he was about to triumph, the corpses began to shine brightly.
"Blood Corpse Explosion, Poisonous Abyss Body, Life Enmity, Divinity Devouring, Phantom Detonation, Order Reversal!" said Kireina, as the corpses of the beast she just created exploded around Lionel.
"Nghh?! W-WHAT?!"
BOOM!
Lionel's body harbored all the energy he could, resisting the immense explosions that pierced and torn his body into pieces!
"G-GAAAAOOO!" he roared, unleashing a powerful pressure from his Aura, which made the explosions tremble and fade immediately.
His body began to fall into pieces, decaying due to the poison and other attacks made by Kireina.
"I am… the King! The strongest one in this Kingdom…! NNUOOOHHH!"
Lionel's body began to mutate due to being exposed to too much Divine Energy, becoming a grotesque giant with the head of a lion, his arms became tentacles, and his feet sharp talons covered in the exoskeleton.
His tentacles were covered in countless claws and his body with dozens of crimson eyes.
"GAAAAH! DIEE!!!" he roared, attacking Kireina with dozens of crimson lasers and techniques using his sharp tentacles.
"Calamity Abyss Demon Transformation," muttered Kireina.
Kireina activated every Calamity Abyss Demon Skill she possessed, alongside several other transformation Skills she had at the same time. Her body mutated into an explosion of dark and chaotic energy, intimidating the now sixty meters tall Lionel, making him turn back for a few seconds.
"W-WHAT…?!"
A titan appeared before him.
Its body stretched far and wide, surpassing his measly sixty meters, glancing at him from above.
The body of the demonic titan was covered in a hard and dark exoskeleton, it had ten arms and sixteen wings, alongside twenty tails of different shapes and sizes, its legs were grotesque and had sharp bird-like talons, while each arm had a different appearance, some resembled a long sword, others a scythe, others a crustacean claw, and so on.
It had a single head, unlike previous transformations. Its appearance was intimidating and grotesque, like a monster that came right out of another world, an alien fiend which appearance far differed from common creatures.
"I was waiting for you to transform, you ever know when your enemy might use their strongest attack while you're near them… so I had to be a bit cautious on you, it paid off. Now… can you resist this attack?" asked Kireina, as she enhanced her entire body with her Aura, which was being constantly fed with her own soul, she was devouring herself constantly by using Uroboros, charging her entire body with seemingly endless energy, like a battery about to explode, thunder and winds appeared in her grotesque arms, which fell over Lionel's with immense speed, releasing hundreds of techniques combined into combos, each attack seemed like the convergence of pure dark energy.
Calamity fell upon Lionel.
"GAAAAAAHH!"
His entire gigantic body began to fall apart into pieces, his soul was cracked a hundred times, he struggled, moving his destroyed body, grasping on the calamity in front of him.
But it was useless.
Kireina's tails joined the attack, shaping themselves as voracious beasts of all shapes and sizes, their large jaws devoured Lionel entirely, tearing his flesh and soul apart. Any technique that he unleashed was instantly blocked by the demonic titan's skin.
Not even a scratch was made.
"Unless you descend and confront me yourself, you will never have a chance on defeating me, Geggoron!" shouted Kireina, with a voice that made the entire enclosed space tremble.
If it were not because space itself was her Aura, it would have been cracked and destroyed immediately.
Lionel shrieked in agony and pain, his flesh and soul was being devoured, bitten from all sides.
"I-It was all useless from the start?! No…! NOOO!!!"
Geggoron's split soul then appeared within the struggling body of Lionel.
"Kireina, you fool, you fell into my trap!" he laughed, activating a strange artifact that was merged into his soul.
This artifact was given to him by Geggoron main body, specially made to detonate a split soul, so they will not be able to be devoured by Kireina, they will also cause great damage to her soul!
"GAHAHAHA! DIE!!!"
"Hm? Oh really?" asked Kireina, opening her jaws and munching on Geggoron's entire phantom, artifact included.
Crunch!
BOOM!
Inside of her mouth, an explosion happened, however, the damage was offset immediately as the explosion and the artifact were pierced by Kireina's sharp fangs, enhanced by Divinity Devouring, they were devoured instantly.
"H-How could… you eat an explosion…? T-This is… ridiculous…! Y-You… Ugh…"
Geggoron's split soul last remnants of consciousness were then completely consumed and digested. Lionel's soul, which was fused with it, was also digested and its remnants transferred to Kireina's Inner Realm, although its mind and memories were partially fragmented due to the damage it received.
Lionel's mutated body stopped moving, without a soul it did not have a life anymore. Kireina, who was rather hungry, munched on it for a bit and then saved the rest for her Family.
"Haah, that was good, it really feels nice to eat another one of these bastards," said Kireina.
"Masta, it's not like I don't like being one with you… but shouldn't we go back with the rest? It seems that they all finished" said Rimuru's voice through Kireina's mind.
"Oh, right"
Flash!
The giant demonic titan began to devour itself, its own Aura, and Soul devoured its flesh until it decreased in size. Then, a humanoid figure was left, which transformed into reddish and bluish slime, which slowly separated themselves.
Splash!
Rimuru then was separate from Kireina, appearing as if nothing had happened.
"Ah! We have separated again… we were together for some time now, hehehe" she laughed, blushing.
"It felt very comfortable, but it's time to regroup with everyone, we are done with Moonfang," said Kireina, as she glanced at her gains in the System.
