Wait. You are 12th level and you are hunting a half dragon/half fiend with 13 class levels on top of it?

How should you combat it?

With friends.

I think it would have been do-able without the half-fiend, because there are a number of spells (like shivering touch) that could one shot it fairly easily, but considering that it now has SR30 and with blasphemy and destruction SLAs due to it's 20HD?

I think your character is out of it's league with this thing in a one on one fight, so I would say: maybe stop hunting it until you level up, or get lots of help... maybe 20 or so archers with magic arrows, keeping their distance.

(Or, you could argue that because the 'blooded one' template is only for humanoids, it should disappear in a puff of logic!)

The monster is approx CR20, taking into account that you are gestalted AND assuming the levels are nonassociated (CR 6 (wyvern) + CR 3 (first 6HD of DFA) + 7 (last seven HD) + 1 (blooded one) + 2 (half fiend; assuming it doesn't count the class HD) + 2 (half dragon) - 1 (gestalt) = 20; 21 if half fiend counts the class HD)
Even with a party at your level you probably won't make it out easy.
Alone: ya ain't gonna make it.
