Chapter 1242: Meanwhile, Outside The Nightmare Realm 2
-----
Maria was present in this entire fight, surrounding the entire fight with her Aura to stop the monsters from fully escaping. However, in her current state, she preferred to remain outside of the battle. She knew her lovers could handle these challenges with little effort. If anything, the effort in itself was not blowing up everything with their amazing and powerful attacks.
Something that Lucifer figured out a solution for. By copying Maria's Domain of Shadows and gathering it within a certain, short space, he could trap the Nightmare Demon enough time for everyone else to finish him off.
To pull it out though, he required at least half a minute, time was tickling, and he instantly began to conjure it, it was hard for him as he was never good at using darkness magic, even though he always had the talent for it.
FLUOSH!
"Come on…"
His shadows started to expand and rapidly grow larger and longer, at the same time as Emeraldine shot down the elemental nightmares coming towards them with her divine spiritual arrows, which could reduce their explosive power and even encapsulate the nightmares within spheres of spirit wood, stopping them from causing havoc and killing them slowly.
At the same time, Partner, Nia, and Jonathan charged against the Nightmare Demon himself, tanking a storm of nightmare flames, ice, and shadows coming their way shaped as countless crows.
"DIE! BURN! FREEZE!"
The Nightmare Demon laughed as he attacked them with their endless attacks, one after another, the trio were being pushed back constantly. Partner used her spears to destroy the ice while Jonathan swung his blade, cutting through the shadows and Nia used her spear and her windstorm aura to clear through the flames.

"He's actually a bit stronger than the three combined!" said Nia.
"Yeah, maybe," said Partner. "Probably this is his actual form, and his special ability is dividing himself."
"So what Rank?" wondered Jonathan. "SSS Rank?"
"Most likely! But does it even matter? We're stronger!" Partner smiled.
She leaped into the air and then spun towards Neberius, rushing down with her spears and combining them together with her aura, creating a spiraling drill of blood and shadows.
"Take this!"
CRAAASH!
"Ungh?!"
Neberius concentrated fully on defending, putting his many arms up front and then his wings, creating a defensive barrier with them, only to see them all shatter apart.
BOOOM!
"Uggh?!"
As not only Partner attacked, but Nia with her spear as well, releasing an explosive yet short-range attack that unleashed a spiraling gust, a mini tornado of emerald winds and golden lightning.
"AACK!"
The Nightmare Demon quickly reformed his broken parts and swung his many arms, punching and striking Partner and Nia, attempting to push them away!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
Although Nia was blown away, Partner resisted all attacks with ease using her bare body, quickly kicking all three of the demon's heads and then conjuring blood needles and shadow hands, holding it no place.
"Uuargh!"
The Nightmare Demon screamed in pain as hundreds of blood needles pierced his body, only for him to regenerate his damage quickly, firing a massive infernal sphere against Partner.
BAAAM!
"Ngh?!"
Partner groaned slightly as she felt her skin burn by the flames, it regenerated slowly too, quickly telling her that those flames held a strong curse.
"Careful, don't get touched by the flames!" she said.
"Alright! {Holy Light Shield}!" Jonathan roared, conjuring a huge shield of holy light and then…
CLAAASH!
Smiting the demon with it and pushing it down with his tremendous physical strength and body weight! Despite how gentle hearted he was, Jonathan was a huge man, and his heavy, muscular body always helped him smite foes with a big shield.
"Uugghh?!"
The demon groaned in pain and agony, as he started bombarding Jonathan with elemental attacks from below the shield! However Jonathan constantly reinforced and regenerated the shield's layers, leaving the battle on a sudden stalemate.
"Wait what? You could do this?!" Partner gasped.
"Ah, well, yes!" Jonathan laughed a bit. "It is what Paladins usually do to restrain foes!"
"Interesting, alright then!" smiled Partner, rushing towards the demon. "Let me give you some help!"
Using her spear, she pierced the demon from the sides, followed by Nia helping out at that! Neberius constantly took damage into his Nightmare Soul, but it wasn't near as enough, only making him more infuriated!
"YOU FUCKS! STOP BULLYING MEEEE!"
With a loud scream, the crow-faced demon exploded as flames, frost, and shadows erupted from every crevice between the shield, freeing him from Jonathan's grasp!
The second after, Neberius pointed his arms at them and fired an endless wave of frost, fire, and shadows, constantly trying to drown them on his endless elemental powers.
"DIE! DIE! DIE ALREADYYYY! I'M SO DAMN TIRED OF YOU BASTARDS!"
Jonathan conjured his shield and with the help of Partner's Blood Barriers and Nia's spiraling winds and lightning from her spear, they were holding back just fine, slowly making their way to Neberius.
"I'll just blow up the entire school! I'm tired of this shit!"
The Nightmare Demon gathered his elemental powers to his limits, forming three spheres of pure nightmare fire, nightmare frost, and nightmare shadows!
"Wait, stop him!" Jonathan panicked, rushing towards Neberius.
"You fuck, you won't!" Partner rushed across the shadows trying to devour her body and then threw her spears like javelins at lightning speed.
CLAAASH!
"Aaarrgghh!"
One of them missed their mark and hit the walls, getting stuck there, but the other managed to pierce through Neberius right arm, blowing it up into pieces and stopping his incantation, the elemental spheres dissipated into thin air.
"Y-YOUUU!"
With a furious scream, he leaped towards Partner, aiming to kill her now that she lost her two precious weapons, forming pair of huge blades with his nightmare frost and covered on nightmare flames.
"PERISH!"
Neberius charged the blades with all his power, without caring if the bathroom were to be destroyed at all anymore.
And then, in that very moment…
"I got it! {Shadow Realm Domain}!"
Lucifer finished his conjuration, and a powerful mass of shadows engulfed Neberius and everyone else inside.
FLUOSH!
