Stabbing into both his neck and body with full force before then doing the impossible and blasting him directly in his face.
Causing him to painfully roar so loudly that it destabilized her already fragmented World even further until finally it was destroyed!
Unfortunately for her she couldn't escape the backlash of her Sacred World being destroyed much like any Legendary Mage would have suffered if their Magic Domain was destroyed!
Resulting in her biting even harder while preventing her mana from being crippled!
Until finally the young prince flew up to the highest point of the ceiling and dived down creating a massive crater after using her as a cushion essentially breaking her spine and after some moments of attempting to save her mana, that soon failed..
Causing the young prince having lost himself to his primal instincts to then immediately repeat what she had done to him.
Before then biting down into her neck and slamming her into several pillars breaking them all! Until finally Vina had to intervene!
Resulting in her practically smiting the young prince who was forced to abandon the near-death Lady Vinny who had already been crippled both physically and mana-wise? Causing Vina to then adorably look at the now-destroyed altar.
"Little bully! Who's gonna fix this place?! As punish no more doll for you!"
Vina adorably pout before then destroying Desman and sending the young prince into a rage having actually loved that puppet! Be it his assistant, sparring partner whenever everyone was asleep or even simply talking?!
He or rather 'she' was all those things!
The incarnation itself was that of an adorable fairy! Despite her being named Desman and referring to her as a him he simply didn't want anyone to get annoyed with the fact that there was another female puppet!
Her real name was Lady Desmorona and she left the puppet to play with him and even tease him whenever he was alone experimenting! It was like having another Jade.. she was simply irreplaceable and his heart within that rage simply broke!
He wanted her back! He wanted his secret fairy bestie back!
Causing him to then immediately cry out through sorrowful roars surprising Vina having simply thought she destroyed her little sister's favorite doll before then being cut off by even more.
Until finally within both the rage and sorrow it eventually became fury once more! Causing the young prince to then immediately lash out and do so magnificently!
Unfortunately, he didn't account for the fact that she was on the same level and had even more tricks.
Meaning even if he was stronger she had more experience resulting in her adorably sighing and activating her Sacred World and extinguishing the Light..
Causing the young prince or rather The Black Dragon of Destruction at this point to neither flinch or react, only to then look to a particularly empty spot and spit at it with what looked to be an insignificant black flame spat.
However, since it was black as well it naturally blended in and simply slammed into poor Vina causing her to then adorably frown.
"Oopsie! I should have really known you know! But it does typically work better for anyone else? Little sister is a Black Dragon of Destruction after all-"
Vina adorably confessed before then immediately being overwhelmed in the black flames resulting in her arm being quite burnt causing her to then immediately switch to that of her Light World!
And blending in once more before then simply repeating what the young prince had done! Resulting in him soon being overwhelmed with Light before then eventually roaring once more and revealing that of his own Sacred World!
Resulting in a clash between Light and Dark until finally Vina having retracted her world to then take this opportunity and turn into a dragon herself or rather a strange Blight Dragon? In truth she was simply a White Bone Scaled Dragon!
Blight Dragons were just that? They weren't that of skinless bones despite the myths?
Only Dragons with different colored scales, eyes, and several unique abilities such as poison breath, blight plagues, and so forth? Both entirely unique and also quite terrifying!
There were even Blight Aspects on both The Dragon and Serpent Aspect Councils! So even if she wasn't an aspect she'd still be the next best thing!
Unfortunately, Ada had made sure her bloodline was immune to The Blight and anything that could truly corrupt such a bloodline?
Resulting in young prince still being affected but seriously so as if an insignificant cold after first being hit by her plague breath!
Before then being followed up with poison! All the while the young prince had soon countered it with his black breath while the two went at it!
Clashes between clashes!
Thankfully Vina wasn't in fact The Complete Vania, since it's already quite obvious that only forty percent of her spirit had been siphoned all that forty percent wasn't in fact entirely useful telling by how instead of being a master manipulator.
And playing mind games while being a being capable of having extensive webs being able to extinguish those who trouble her with very little effort Vina was in fact more of her negative and innocent aspects strangely enough?
Coupled with the fact that she had converted a blighted void spirit construct as a host while taking so long to accomplish Vania's lesser achievements, despite being someone also quite difficult and quite tricky to deal with, and that was basically it?
Resulting in her only having part of Vania's own wealth of experience equivalent to that of thirty percent?
Unfortunately, Vania herself was quite literally more or less ten thousand years old meaning even that was enough to squash the gap even if much of it was useless in a fight!
Resulting in two hours of back and forths until finally, Vina switched to that of her Dragonoid Form.
Surprising the young prince and resulting in the young prince automatically doing the same since in truth The Black Dragon of Destruction was practically in control?
And the young prince's body moved on its own while absorbing it all? However despite appearances a Black Dragon of Destruction has never been defeated or fought a Bone Scaled Dragon? At least not to this extent?
Generally speaking they employ The Scorched Divinus method of simply exterminating The Blight on sight!
Resulting in The Black Dragon of Destruction having collected everything it needed to know to then subsequently take this chance to do just that!
Resulting in him immediately retracting his Sacred World and slamming Vina through several pillars!
Before then ripping off her veil and repeating what he had done to Lady Vinny since by this time Vina herself didn't have much mana left and had already exhausted her tricks?
Albeit she simply had plenty of them but continuing such a battle with that of A Black Dragon of Destruction will only provoke it further if she were to lose and she'd rather live with a crippled mana?
She still had her former abilities that didn't really require mana? In truth she could have barely won however what would that do for her little sister? Worst-case scenario her little sister would be killed and that's not something she'd want!
Resulting in her now being in a similar crater with crippled mana having apparently given up after making a show and not taking it very seriously in the hopes such chances of that happening wouldn't exist?
Causing the young prince to then frown since The Black Dragon of Destruction was about to claw her eyes out?
Causing him to then immediately put a stop to that and switching to that of Aurora's Ethereal Dragonoid Form since in truth he should have really used that in the beginning since it was almost as capable of that of The Black Dragon of Destruction?
Which had already switched on its own? However, the young prince himself was exhausted! Both physically, emotionally, and even mana-wise! The sheer consumption The Black Dragon of Destruction took out of him was even worse!
Meaning it practically takes control on its own and does whatever it wished unless stopped, resulting in the young prince refusing to use such a form again until he learned to control it which in truth might not happen so soon.
Thankfully Aurora had made hers with regenerative effects even if he didn't completely understand it all?
Causing him after a short pause to then look to the throne where Desmorona had died causing him to then immediately become teary at the thought.
All the while Yunari, Void, and Gospel soon limped over while the entrance itself was unsealed resulting in all of the other puppets reentering to secure the Altar causing Vina.
Having had her Mana Crippled to then simply rub her eyes having felt the same exhaustion albeit much worse?
"Little sister is really impressive.. you win!"
Vina weakly cheered having had her veil ripped off earlier revealing that of a young pale Elf with extremely delicate features and scratches and blood from both her mouth and nose coupled with the wounds themselves?
Causing the young prince to then quickly be reminded of the priestess earlier causing him to then pretend to prepare a final strike before then stopping an inch from her face?
Her genuinely adorable smile hadn't changed as if she was actually happy that he won?
Resulting in him adorably pausing having also been reminded of Iva.. causing him to then hesitantly shake his head and Vina to then adorably pull out a strange crystal.
Surprising the young prince having realized it was the Magic Incarnation's 'Slightly' Damaged Core.
Causing Vina to then adorably nod.
"I knew that doll was important to my little sister so I kept it.. In case you lost to Lady Vinny? I wanted to transfer it to a cocoon as a surprise you later so you wouldn't hate me?"
"I'm sorry little sister.. I lost myself to loneliness for all this time? I-I'm not a very good big sister you know?"
Vina surprisingly apologized causing the young prince to then tearfully hug the core.
Having felt emotionally wrecked after losing his secret bestie.. but what was even worse was the fact that she was telling the truth? So much death, loss, and blood to relieve her loneliness?
She didn't even care when he had mentioned her spirit's original name? Vania had but Vina hadn't?
It seems over times spirit constructs who take separate paths over time would eventually end up either similar but not the same or drastically different?
Yunari himself hadn't changed much and his personality remained the same albeit with more of a puppet feel?
In any case the young prince was still unsure of it all.. clearly Vina isn't a threat comparable to Vania anymore? With that being said she could be if she recovered her mana?
But would she? He simply wasn't sure but he couldn't just kill her either? Causing Yunari to then simply shake his head.
"From my recollection, she had been experimented on most of her life before finally being transported here? I've seen her cell and what they did to her first hand.. was it right? Absolutely not! I would've escaped too in her place!"
"As for our mission.. there were simply too many 'objectives' and choices to be made, be it from what The Temple of Selphine had wanted, what The Celestials had wanted, and even The Void having wanted her to be sealed alongside them.."
Yunari explained before then reassuringly going further.
"The blood was all on 'our' hands for acting as if she was a mere object rather than a being capable of making her own choices, and we learned that the hard way.."
"From what I see none of 'us' are entirely clean, does she deserve to die for escaping such suffering and defending herself?"
"Do we? In both instances 'we' were the aggressors.. If we had left her alone perhaps those lives might have been saved.. none of which was your fault mind you? You're still a child thrown into this mess unknowing to all of what transpired"
Yunari explained in depth providing the much-needed context and overview to see from her point of view surprising everyone including the young prince having been blindsided by all these facts? He was the bully.. he had believed he had no choice?
He had choices! He allowed fear to take over and cloud his judgment much like the others had done before him!
He was the aggressor! So many Priestesses died because of 'his' actions! He didn't even question it or look for such glaring explanations before!
He.. forced her hand believing she was the bully! But in doing so he became the bully!
He was the one who used poison on his claws to enrage Lady Vinny just to cripple her believing she was the bully! And he even bullied Vina! An Altar could be replaced!
Items could be replaced! And yet from his actions one hundred and thirty Priestesses who could have believed they were defending their own had died! Now only seventy cling to life!
While another two dragons were left dead while the last female dragon was also clinging to life?
