Hendrick had been so hesitant about this because he knew he would never be able to go back to his former self. But seeing how he was truly going to die; he had no other option. Maria watched as the bastard let the God Slaying Sword pierce his body and soul, and then devour everything.

Of course, she didn't stand there watching, immediately rushing to stop him, only for the sword to release a black and red aura the moment it devoured Hendrick. The red jewel on its handle became a bright red eye, and then, a shockwave of black and white flames, the very flames that could hurt and even leave scars on her soul, were released as a potent shockwave.

TRUUUM!

"Ugh! FUCK!"

Maria quickly conjured barriers out of her Void, defending from the flames and quickly cleaning her body from them. She gritted her sharp jaws, looking at the giant sword transform.

Its black metal expanded into countless tendrils, the sword was no longer a sword as it grew arms, legs, a head, and became a five-meter-tall man made of black and red metal, with a big eye-shaped jewel on his forehead.

His appearance, with white hair and everything, was the exact same as Hendrick!

"So this was your trump card, huh?" Maria wondered, standing up and confronting Hendrick.

A robe made of black and white flames covered Hendrick's body, making him overflow with tremendous god-slaying powers!

"This is it...! You forced me to become this thing! I'll now be forever cursed, forever cursed to be this damned sword! But that doesn't matter anymore! As long as I can KILL you for good, MARIA!"

Hendrick had grown completely insane at this point, rushing towards Maria as an endless wave of black and white flames surged, rushing towards her.

It was so much that she knew she wouldn't get out of this without major wounds into her soul.

But that didn't matter to her, as long as she could kill this bastard anyways!

Both were sacrificing things to fight and kill one another.

This was the truth about this world.

About the Tower!

At the end, it all resumed to this, a battle to the death.

Be it to avenge a loved one, or to gain power.

It all resumed to this.

The most primal form of resolving conflicts.

"I've not even gone all-out against a piece of shit like you."

"You mean you're even stronger than-"

Hendrick couldn't continue talking, Maria's three weapons moved towards him. He tried to move at lightning speed to evade, yet as he moved to the left, a dozen giant Undead stopped him, attacking him and sacrificing themselves to push him back towards Maria.

"Damned Undead, get away!"

"You're done for."

"No, w-wait! WAIT!"

Hendrick asked for mercy, but maria gave him none. Her three weapons, imbued with the boosts and strengths of her combined Skills and Abilities, pierced through the divine metal of his sword body, and crushed him into bits.

CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!

His entire body was shattered into countless pieces, his already shattered soul was exposed,

as Maria, despite burning constantly by the white flames, loomed towards him.

A black hole opened within her chest, devouring his body and his soul.

"This isn't... fair..."

His last thoughts before the endless void were still full of arrogance and selfishness. A man born with everything in life, that only strived to follow goals that made countless other innocents suffer, complaining about life not being fair?

Maria almost snorted out of laughter after hearing those thoughts he had as she devoured his soul and absorbed his mind's memories as information. She didn't feel like she lived them, but they were absorbed as information instead.

"What?! This bastard...!"

However, when she realized what he had been "waiting for" this entire battle, Maria panicked

slightly.

FLUOSH!

Suddenly, in the middle of the enormous hall, a portal to another floor of the tower opened.

And not one, not two, not three.

But five silhouettes stepped out of it.
