"I imagine you must be enjoying this disgusting hobby of yours."  ( Alicia )

"As fun as this all is, it's efficient as I only need one monster to spawn several more, the only thing I'm short of currently is seedbeds."  ( Rampart )

I no longer know what my face looks like at the moment, is it twisted in hatred or contains Pride's wrathful grin. I don't even want to check, I just need to break its core and kill his mobile sub-core.

This thing should never be allowed to live.

"However it's too late for you B*tch. Although a bit rushed, my B-rank Incubus Lord has been born at last. YOU NOW STAND NO CHANCE AGAINST ME, SUBMIT TO ME!!!"  ( Rampart )

The black thing that just burst out gets up onto its two feet and stares into my eyes.

Wait he said Incubus Lord right? then...!!!

I immediately take control to face away from its eyes...but I won't move, crap is this body under its influence now!?

"A puny incubus lord wishes to charm me? Pity that mental attacks have no effect on me Newborn."  ( Alicia )

oh, its just Pride taking control. Thank the lords.

"IMPOSSIBLE!!! ALL FEMALES BENEATH B-RANK SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO RESIST. EVEN MENTAL PROTECTION LIKE THE VAMPIRES SERENE MIND ABILITY CAN'T PROTECT YOU!!!!!!!!"  ( Rampart )

He was counting on this it seems, he doesn't seem to be lying as his loud voice resided as soon as it was born, and returned to the almost insane loud voice when it failed. 

However, if what he says is true, then even if this is a sub-core has some powerful capabilities, the charm of an incubus should have some effect on this body right?

----

What the hell. That is freaking overpowered as hell, immune to any attack that affects my soul, mind, and spirit don't work on this body!?

----

In other words, these attacks will still work on my other sub-core monster without the proper set of abilities or equipment. Got it, thanks.

"THIS MAKES NO F**KING SENSE!!!, Unless..."  ( Rampart )

"!?..." ( Alicia )

What is that feeling? It feels like I'm being stared from every single angle whilst I'm in my birthday suit. Wait, did this guy use his Omniscience to examine me?

I know that in such a big dungeon, omniscience can become quite a burden as I felt it slightly in my last dungeon, and as a result, I turned it off when it was weighing on me, so I can imagine this bastard to using at this time and on me. But for it to feel this disturbing and disgusting.

"No you are a female but how are you even unaffected by an incubus lord!?"  ( Rampart )

[Pride is @%$#%@$# Demanding an immense amount of DP at once. Accept?]

I know, I will Accept, I just have one request. SHOW NO MERCY!!!

[250,000DP converted to Mana for Sub-core]

Just looking at this amount of DP makes me think I could make another Founding Vampire, but I'd rather use it to kill this Unrecyclable Garbage. Who knows I might get twice the amount back after destroying him.

I begin focusing on forming the image of this spell, unlike the other spells ingrained into this body. This spell is in a different league entirely, preparations need to be made since even the first few times of using it ended in failure. It requires both me and Pride focusing on it. 

During testing, we only have this spell occupy a few centimeters of space, to minimize mana cost to cast it. Only after confidently knowing we can cast it did Pride end the testing phase. I just need to visualize the image while Pride handles the formation, and afterward just increase the scale and mana consumption.

"ANSWER ME! WHAT ABILITY DO YOU HAVE THAT CAN RESIST AN INCUBUS LORD!!!!!?"  ( Rampart )

Shut UP! I'm trying to concentrate.

I visualize a world, one soaked in blood, without peace, without sanity and filled with madness. Only chaos reigned in that world, no one can stop the bloodshed, a world pure formed from the laws of the jungle. Kill or be Killed are the only options. There is no solace, there is no happiness, THERE IS NO GOD IN THIS WORLD. A world where light and darkness have no meaning, where elements have no option other than to exist, where the only meaning is to LIVE.

"Formation Complete"  ( Alicia )

Now with the Image and formation complete the foundations of the spell is set, all that's left is the incantation and the activation.

"STOP SPEAKING NONSENSE AND ANSWER ME!!! ELSE YOU WILL GET DESTROYED IN MY EXPLOSION!!!"  ( Rampart )

I look at the incubus on the crystal, his face distorted to the point where I can only see madness.

"Before we send you to oblivion, We shall introduce ourselves."  ( Alicia )

"DON'T EVER TAKE THAT F**CKING ATTITUDE WITH ME, VAMPIRE B*TCH!!!"  ( Rampart )

Taking a stance and executing a formal curtsey with one foot behind the other whilst holding the skirt up and bows in greeting with a lovely smile all while holding my mobile sub-core with psychokinesis, Pride begins to speak.

"The name this one hold is Alicia Geonheart, a sub-core founding vampire. The spirit is unnamed however for me you may refer to me as Pride"  ( Alicia )

"...eh, wait, a sub-core monster... PRIDE!?"  ( Rampart )

His insane look twisted into shock. What? is it that shocking?

"I shall congratulate you, as we doubt we will ever find someone or something as infuriating as your existence ever again. As much as we hate it, we will remember you."  ( Alicia )

"IMPOSSIBLE! A SUB-CORE MONSTER IN POSSESSION OF A SIN AND ITS PRIDE NO LESS!!!?"  ( Rampart )

"...And now we shall terminate your existence.   [Return to the times of old - The immemorial past - "  ( Alicia )

"Wait! THAT SPELL!?"  ( Rampart )

This is something unavoidable, we cannot cast this spell without a chant, but at the same time, nothing can interfere with the chant once it starts unless a spell or power of the same, similar or opposing class is used.

" - The world of chaos - Reborn anew but never forgotten - Fragments of madness seeped into the reborn world - "  ( Alicia )

"DAMMIT! SUICIDE METHOD 1 EXPLOSION ACTIVATE!"  ( Rampart )

Looks like he really didn't have enough to cause a collapse, and his mobile sub-core cannot leave until this duel has ended. But like I said, once the chant has started, it cannot be interfered with. It's too late for you.

"DAMMIT! WHY IS IT NOT ACTIVATING! EXPLOSION! EXPLOSION EXPLOSION EXPLOSION!!!"  ( Rampart )

" - In life and death and of darkness and light - The oldest world's memory even now exist in the essence of all sentient beings - "  ( Alicia )

"WAIT PLEASE WAIT! I GET IT IM SORRY!!!"  ( Rampart )

Too late bastard, since the very beginning you are far too late to apologize.

" - O Primordial World - Form your essence in the present world - Let this world be reminded once more of your madness - "  ( Alicia )

"F**K F**K F*****K! INCUBUS LORD DO SOMETHING!!!"  ( Rampart )

"auew?"  ( Incubus lord )

A newborn B-rank monster shouldn't be that powerful currently, if it was grown up then it made have possed much more of a threat than now and maybe even interfered with this chant. The orb of blood by my side which has been pulsating since the beginning of the chant and now seems ready to explode.

" - GODLESS---BLOOD WORLD]   "  ( Alicia )

Everything in sight has been dyed in blood, like a canvas of a scenery has been splashed in red. In this case, its the orb of blood, which has been collected since the start of the duel with only bits of it being used has covered the world in blood.

Godless blood world, a domain class blood spell. After casting it, it grants me dominion over the area and even dungeon spirits are affected allowing me to cancel out their suicide methods. Suppressing enemies, supporting allies, canceling out enemy spells whilst boosting ally spells. Essential claiming territory and imposing your own magical laws onto it.

The only problem I have with this spell is the amount of mana that is needed just to keep it active after casting, even now it's draining mana quickly because of the scale this domain spell is covering. Only 14 seconds until mana will be depleted and Pride is already on the move.

"[Roses of Blood---Be my Weapon]"  ( Alicia )

Forming the Rapier of blood into my left-hand and keeping my mobile sub-core close in the right, Pride accelerates towards the first target set. Threading through obstacles with a dance, bypassing the core and the mobile sub-core incubus, straight towards it.

"WHAT!? WAIT!!!"  ( Rampart )

"auew!?"  ( Incubus lord )

[Gained 100,639 DP]

In just a second the Rapier has already gone through its head. The baby incubus lord's head that is. However getting over 100,000 just from a baby B-rank makes me shiver, how much would a full-fledged mature B-rank give?

"NOOOOOOOO!!!!!"  ( Rampart )

With the incubus lord taken care of, a number of uncertain variables have been snuffed out.

"[Blades of blood---Become the roses of slaughter]"  ( Alicia )

Like before a sea of blood colored rose petals gather around me, the blood used to form this came from the domain. One of the best traits of this domain, For as long as this domain is active the requirements of needing blood for blood spells no longer is needed as this domain will cover its cost.

The targets now are the monster babies and the people at the back, I thought to save the people but after a quick glance at them through detection and the domains omniscience granted to me I found out that these people have can no longer live outside of this dungeon.

Surviving on this dungeons mana through a unique curse. Once this dungeon is destroyed they will suffer from the lack of life support provided by this dungeon. Prompting me to give them a quick death rather than having them suffering any further this. 

"[ ENHANCE HANDS ]!"  ( Rampart )

I turn my attention now to the incubus. It is even closing in to attack me. His hand forms into a hand blade swung towards me. Looks like he is hoping to draw it out long enough for my domain spell to end. Even while suppressed him with the domain, his body is still that of a C-rank so my rapier can't do much to his body.

As the incubus swings his hand blade Pride uses the rapier to ward off its attacks while countering, with Pride locked in combat with Rampart, I began controlling the blood rose petals through psychokinesis and have them move towards the core.

Even with both hand blades, Rampart can never slip past Pride's defense. In fact, it even seems like pride is toying with him, dance around some of his attacks, using the rapier to ward off attacks, and even using the force taken from his attacks to deal further damage or to evade.

Rampart's expression is only filled with madness, with his Core under attack and on the verge of breaking. He is becoming extremely aggressive in this fight, almost like a zombie he is ignoring attacks that are starting to pierce through his skin and shattering his bones.

Even as hundreds of the knives like blood rose petals attack the core, it is staying strong despite the amount of damage it's receiving. The time left before my mana is depleted is 7 seconds. There were no words spoken in the fight, whoever speaks will lose their momentum. 

"DAMMIT!!! GUH!?"  ( Rampart )

He lost it now, all that's striking him is a chain of unending attacks and as if fulfilling my request from before, Pride is showing absolutely no mercy. Going for the weak spot piercing this incubus's manhood and even slicing off his 4 limbs and tail during the chain of attacks.

After losing all support Rampart falls to the ground and Pride takes control of Psychokinesis, gathering all the petals and having them merge with the rapier. 

"WAIT WAIT!!!, I GIVE UP!, I SURRENDER!, YOU WON!!!"  ( Rampart )

"What a pity, I will not accept your surrender."  ( Alicia )

Pride then catapults the rapier towards the core through psychokinesis. This was the same method it took out all the enemies and the people, through this catapulting psychokinesis. I, on the other hand, cannot do it, only have whats controlled to move through a singular path or gathering them in one spot and this is my limit.

The rapier successfully pierces through the core causing it to shatter. With the core now destroyed, the dungeon ceases functioning but does not collapse. 

[Congratulations Challenger]

[You are victorious in this Dungeon Duel]

[All DP possessed by the challenged participant now belongs to you]

[Gained 320,079, DP]

[Do you want to purge and cleanse Mobile SubCore Rampart to become a Spiritless Mobile SubCore ]

[Accept?]

I ended the domain spell as soon as I heard these notifications with just 3 seconds to spare. Stopping all the blood spells but not acceleration and mana endurance as this incubus may still have some tricks up its sleeves.

"?"  ( Alicia )

"NO PLEASE DON'T!!!"  ( Rampart )

Although I expected to gain DP, it is much lower than I imagined. A possibility is that he pooled DP into the unborn incubus lord to quicken its birth resulting in him losing a huge amount of DP. But now this option popped up. To turn it into another mobile sub-core or not?

It's obvious, I don't like its guts but if its this system purging him then what happens to his spirit?

----

In other words, nothing special will happen, just death.

"I HAVE LIVED FOR HALF A CENTURY I DON'T DESERVE THIS!!!!!"  ( Rampart )

As much as I want to grind every last bit of hatred of him out through his suffering, I need to make a logical decision here.

Having another core can be very convenient and since its a pure core. It might even start with 10% daily income again.

If only Mr.tutorial said anything to confirm my suspicions, anyhow I will prioritize increasing my chances of survival.

"I shall accept"  ( Alicia )

[Acknowledged]

"AAAAAAAARGH!!!!!"  ( Rampart )

I have a look at whats happening and I see the Rampart slowly disappearing, becoming particles in the air.

"I HAVE POURED SO MUCH EFFORT INTO SURVIVING UNTIL NOW!!! I WILL NOT ACCEPT THIS!!!"  ( Rampart )

I back up several steps just for caution. Insanity will cause people to do things that are extremely illogical and at times even catch people off guard.

"YOU DID THIS TO ME VAMPIRE B*TCH!!!"  ( Rampart )

"Like I said before. How rude of you to call me a mutt, I prefer being called a feline."  ( Alicia )

The grin on my face is even starting to seem evil. But now all Rampart is doing is cursing me with insults which Pride deflects it every time with banter.

"IF I'M GOING DOWN THEN IM TAKING YOU WITH ME!!! [ NIGHTMARE ]!!!!!"  ( Rampart )

This spell seems like a mental spell but this body should be immune thanks to Pride. But after the activation did I realize the target.

Me, my mobile sub-core body.

"!?"  ( Alicia )

I try to evade but I didn't make it in time, a part of me was attacked by the spell, affecting me but not enough to force me to blackout.

"[Purification]!"  ( Alicia )

As the light of this spell envelopes my mobile sub-core it eliminated the influence from 'nightmare' but it may have been a bit too late. At the time it was active I was shown a lot disgusting and disturbing things, they seemed so realistic that they look to be memories. I know for sure they were not mine nor part of the inherent memories I possess.

"WHAT YOU SAW WAS MY PAST! I was hoping this spell would destroy you mentally...but Pride's protection saved you."  ( Rampart )

I see, so he was betting that the protection I got from Pride wouldn't cover my mobile sub-core. Rather I didn't know either if it would. Still, that last resort of his did make me want to puke. Those memories showed how dark he could get and how dark people and spirits can get. Frick.

"F*ck so this is the power of a sin, WHY CAN'T I EVER HAVE A SIN!? I HAVE MADE SO MANY MONSTERS YET NONE OF THEM EVER GOT A SIN!!! WHY!!!???"  ( Rampart )

With those parting words, his body disappears and is replaced with a blank pure white featureless and faceless doll.
