Prologue 2: Boss battle

One may ask, why am I putting myself through this? Why am I facing down a monster among monsters? Why didn't I just serve the term of my exile in peace?

Well, the answer is simple. That would be a waste, from my young I was raised to be royalty, raised to serve and rule over others. I was not born to be some present who will forever look up to the peak of the royal castle and lament their fate.

I was crafted to be a ruler, crafted to be royalty, and a ruler I shall become, royalty I shall become. Be it in my own country or another. That however shall be a job for future Pandora, present Pandora had to defeat the evil dragon.

The creature was a majestic being, humanoid in form with white scales running along its frame, purple spikes along its spine 4 purple leathery wings that flapped about and created small twisters as they did. Horns circled from its head to face the front and glowed with an inner purple light. Its eyes are a deep menacing magenta.

The monster stood tall and proud it's tails numbering 8 in all.

I scanned its frame and noticed, 'I did damage.' Yes, the monster did have cracked scales and burnt parts. Since the attack was so abrupt it didn't get the chance to defend itself.

Abaddon roared and unleashed a powerful shockwave. This made his anger clear then energy gathered in its mouth.

.OoO. 3rd person POV

Abaddon fired the dark beam it charged up while Pandora moved rushing at speeds that left sound behind and avoided the attack. At the end of its wide range she changed direction and shot toward Abaddon even faster than her initial speed. She reached into a storage space and pulled out and lashed out simultaneously a long soft blade that cut through the air without resistance.

Sensing danger the Dragon leaned its head aside as much as its attack would allow and instead of having half of its face slashed only its horn suffered damage having been cut clean off.

Abaddon roared in pain while its attack cut off and its horn fell. Pandora seeing this lashed out with her sword-whip once more but the dragon now weary of the dangerous weapon leaned to the side and the attack missed.

"Damn it." cursed Pandora as she pulled her sword back and it retracted. She was at eye level with the monster and kicked off the air aiming to cut using the weapon an eruption of Miasma from the beast flung her back.

As she sailed through the air and forced herself to come to a dead stop by manipulating the wind around and then charged up an attack. |Wind cutter| numerous blades of wind shot toward the dragon. Abaddon's tough scales allowed him to withstand the attack while countering by unleashing a fast-moving punch.

Pandora reacted quickly and set up a barrier in front of her before leaping away. The barrier was shattered but it did offer a chance for Pandora to attack.

The whip-sword cut through the air once more but suddenly the space distorted. Then pain rocked Pandora's body before she flung to the earth below. Her body dug a tranche before being buried under it, but Abaddon wasn't done, lightning crackled along his mouth and he fired a concentrated beam of the dark lightning. It was meant to collide with the small mound of earth Pandora was under but...

A shift in space right before it consumed the attack and let it exits out right next to the Dragon. Its own attack smashed right through it blasting the monster away.

Slowly making her way out of the rubble Pandora gazed at her surroundings a barrier around her frame. The country-sized forest that was once around her was reduced to nothing but rubble. "This is the first time I'm looking around. Abaddon is such a frightening creature," she said to herself. Then she looked to where an explosion erupted 1.5 kilometers away. "Good thing I set up that auto defence spell if such an attack hit I would be dead." muttered the woman before readying herself and tensing her muscles before kicking off the earth leaving an even larger crater than before.

Leaving sound behind it didn't take long to appear where her opponent landed. The dragon was injured, but clearly, it could still fight. While it was regaining its barrings Pandora acted | Earth's embrace | she cast and the ground rumbles before wrapping around the dragon and holding it tight. | Hell's pillar | she cast the next attack.

The area was bathed in white as a pillar of flame ascended to the skies even breaking through the thick cloud of Maisma that hung over the area.

The pillar of white swirling fire slowly started changing colour, first turning bloody red, then a poisonous purple, and finally a all-consuming black. Then vanished. ' Huh?'

Confused Pandora couldn't help but exclaim. Then as she gazed at the dragon she understood, and realized the essence of the darkness element. It's the power of the void. "Shit," she muttered.

Abaddon was radiating a dark pitch-black darkness that was consuming all that was around it, even light itself. The only thing that could be seen now was an orb of darkness where Abaddon is located continuously absorbing all that was around it much like a black hole.

The wind started to pick up as it was pulled, followed by the earth then the clouds far above along with light. Not even energy could escape. 'I have to act quickly.' Thought Pandora before collecting her mana and teleporting a short distance away, but still, she wasn't safe she was still being pulled to the reality-warping orb.

"damn it, damn it, damn it. I thought this was supposed to be a dating sim! Who puts an existence erasure attack on a dating sim? If I could I would whale on the devs for this shit!" Pandora shouts as she thinks of ways to save herself. She uses Space magic, |Dimension shift | to buy herself some time but she could feel the space be warped and consumed by the black hole.

"Damn it if dark magic is the opposite of light then light magic will be the only thing I need to defeat this thing but I don't have light magic. Think girl! think!" thought the girl her sense of crisis rising as she felt her large mana reserves dropping like a boulder as she kept up dimension shift despite its extreme drainage.

"Wait if dark magic is a form of destruction magic or something like that the light magic would be an application of creation magic right? man, I hope I'm right." thought Pandora.

Then she began and first used Space magic to isolate a small space between her palms, then filled it with air magic, then fire, water, and earth followed. Soon in her hands, she held an orb of darkness, "huh, ah well guess I'll try fighting fire with fire!" shouted Pandora as she poured more magic power into the dark orb allowing it to grow stronger.

Then dropped her | Dimansion ship | and threw the pseudo-dark spell. It flew forward racing as light speeds toward the dragon's attack.

"Man I hope my villain plot armor kicks in right about now," spoke Pandora hoping that her attack works.

The dark orbs collided. Pandora found her feet leaving the ground and the white.
