My World Traveling System: The Harbinger of Death

Chapter 540: Final Fight: Clementine & Harumi VS Frank & Matsuo 7

-----

Matsuo glanced at what had happened to Frank with utter shock. His eyes seemingly filled with surprise. He gritted his teeth, as Harumi caught up to him and punched him in the stomach.

"You've lowered your guard."

BOOOOMMM!!!

"GAH…!"

Matsuo vomited a mouthful of blood as he was thrown into the walls of the barrier in an instant, clashing down into it with enough power to shake the entire world around him.

BOOM!!!

Harumi looked at Matsuo barely hanging on life, sitting over the floor, his entire stomach was crushed beyond belief, but he was slowly healing himself back…

She looked back into Frank. He was turned into a statue and was now over the floor, motionless, he wasn't even fighting anymore. It could be said that petrification was an instant kill move.

Petrification, what power was this?

In ancient Greek, there was the myth that Medusa would turn anyone that were to see her in the eyes into stone, and this would pretty much instantly kill someone. She would later on whip you with her snake tail and you would be torn to shreds.

But what truly happened with the body after turning into stone? Was it truly dying?

Well, not exactly…

"P-Petrification?! Is Frank… D-Dead?!" asked Gwendolyn gritting her teeth as she looked at Clementine in anger.

"B-Brother?!" cried Kamei.

"F-Frank…? Oi, this is not funny!" muttered Cathyl.

"It can't be… so fast…?!" muttered Vheslia.

"W-What is this power? how come someone can turn anyone she wants into… stone?" asked Clishya.

"Heh, this is the power that Lady Clementine has. Surprised? This is part of her arsenal, her Vampiric Eyes of Petrification! This was a power she naturally developed long ago and used to kill many enemies. She could instantly turn them into stone, and they wouldn't be able to do a thing~ afterwards, to kill them, she had to just smash them into pieces. Even if they were turned back to flesh, they would be torn apart already and die instantly." Said Dan with a cheeky smile, looking down into the statue of Frank, which looked so realistic it was like a Greek Statue.

"Y-You're lying! It cant be so easily! This is not fair!" said Vheslia.

"It can't be true… Frank-nii-sama wouldn't be defeated so easily!" said Kamei.

"Frank… he's… really just a stone now?!" asked Asterion.

"No, he's still there." Said Axitl, who seemed calm while everyone else was panicking!

"Indeed, he's still there. She's a sharp one! To be expected of a Chaos Goddess~" chuckled Dan.

"I can also sense his soul, it still within the statue. He's still here with us… but it strange. The power of Clementine is capable of petrification of the flesh but not the soul, right? Then how come they can't move? Hasn't her opponents been able to use the soul to fight?" asked Orb while raising an eyebrow.

"Hm? W-What? The soul? Who can even use their own soul to fight?" asked Dan while thinking this was nonsensical.

"Oh… I guess you haven't seen enough of Frank yet." Said Axitl confidently.

"Papa! Fight!" cried Alexander, as he seemed pumped up to see her papa fight, even as a statue!

"T-There's no way he's going to move after being turned into a statue, this usually is an instant-kill. There's a way to be turned back but that's also within Clementine-sama's powers- AH?!"

Dan suddenly swallowed his own words by what he was seeing right now!

All the spectators were thinking this was over already, many of the Vampires were celebrating the quick victory of Clementine, but this… didn't seemed to be the case yet.

…

When he was turned into stone, Frank suddenly fell into endless darkness.

"Where am I?" he wondered, looking at everywhere, there was nothing.

"Ah, right, this is my own soul? Has my body been sealed? My brain, everything… it has been shut down, I cannot put my thoughts nor see through its senses." Said Frank.

Frank began to walk around this darkness while looking for something.

"Where is it?" he wondered.

Suddenly, he found something.

"Gragadhgrkpaodka…"

A strange sound that resembled something being grinded while also bubbling out emerged before him.

Frank glance at an eternal sea of chaos and miasma before him.

What could this be?

This was some of his "untapped power"…

When Frank devoured all the Miasma Sea within Terra, he not only grew stronger in his chaos magic or gained a few Skills, he had gained an incredible amount of energy reserves too, and had gained an incredible amount of reserves in terms of power.

This power… was one of them which he had yet to tap into yet, he had yet to unlock it completely because he had not been able to see through it and find it completely, it was very hidden within his soul.

"So you were here! Come out now, Miasma, Chaos, and all the dark stuff." He said.

"GOOOOOHHHHHHH!!!"

SPLASH!

A massive sea of miasma with countless eyes, jaws, and tentacles suddenly emerged, submerging all of Frank's consciousness within itself!

Clementine looked down at Frank turned into stone and thought this was already over. She thought that it was pointless to show more power if she could end a fight with a single move.

This was the difference between the strong and the weak. Her power was unparalleled in this regard to the point even Gods feared her. She remembered using this power in Amaterasu herself, turning half her body into stone. Although the goddess had managed to stop her entire body from turning into stone in that time, she had felt the strong weakening effects of such a power.

By converting your body into stone, all the power within your body was completely turned off, no mana veins, no muscles, no nothing… of course Amaterasu was different, as a goddess, she was able to use her divine soul and still fight.

But what about other beings, such as Frank and the like? They wouldn't be able to do a thing!

Or so she thought…

Rumble…

Suddenly, Frank's statue began to move faintly.
