"A fragment of an outer god's corpse?! Haahahaha!" Maria laughed. "Truly, you're an incredible Necromancer, Annette! But can you do this?!"
Maria didn't summon more Undead. Instead she rushed straight toward Annette, calling forth her soul sword and swinging it with full force.
"Trying to go one-on-one this time? How unsightly! Protect me!" Annette hid behind the titanic tentacle, which immediately clashed against Maria's blade.
CLAAASH!
"Hah, ridiculous!"
Maria laughed as the Outer God fragment's tentacle halted her sword and shoved her backward—further and further.
At the same time, countless curses ravaged her body and soul. Her living flesh withered endlessly, aging at an impossible rate.
Her eyes widened in horror as she realized she had become as old as a grandmother.
"T-This is…?!?"
"HAHAHAHAHA!"
While Annette cackled, Maria's entire body crumbled into ashes. Her soul twisted in agony under the mere gaze of a corpse fragment.
