NOVPUBI was tense when that arm appeared to the point where I started to sweat, something that wouldn’t happen even if I swam in magma, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t feeling scared.
The claws appeared to be made of smooth metal as if they were forged weapons, but the rest of the arm had thick scales as if it were some typical raw metal.
But what made me most uncomfortable was the presence, the Dragon inside me was in fight or die mode, I knew I couldn’t run away, I would have to fight against all my instincts to do so and it would be unacceptable for me.
"(I feel such a strong presence and traces of the Power of Chaos.)" (I)
I could no longer help it, my body was transforming into that of a Dragon, the creature continued trying to get out, tearing more of the space as if tearing itself apart.
When the creature fully appeared I realized that its size was bigger than the island where I was, but that’s when it started, the environment around it was changing, this wasn’t the effect of a Territory, it was literally changing the environment around it his return by his presence.
His appearance was not grotesque, but it was certainly bizarre, he was kilometers tall, his body was composed of an exoskeleton that appears to be the bones of his body made of the same metallic alloy that forms his scales, this exoskeleton is completely open on the back belly and has ribs spread across the chest, inside it there was no meat and nothing that could be considered part of a living creature, what was inside its body was a mass of pure energy that seems to contain a different dimension.
Its wings have a structure of the same exoskeleton covered by the energy that makes up its interior, its tail has a sphere covered in metallic spines, its head was strange with the lower part of its jaw being able to open as well as its mouth being able to open opening much wider than initially expected, he doesn’t seem to have eyes, in the place where his skull was supposed to be there was a hole where what looked like a sphere that closely resembles a black hole sits.
He has the same chains of mirror shards on his other brave and legs, his body was robust and I noticed his presence is getting even stronger before he turned towards me as if noticing my presence just now.
As soon as he left I felt the restlessness inside me shoot like I was facing a predator, I haven’t felt like that in many years.
"How magnificent, an aperitif to be around, how incredible!!"
"(Hinata, don’t leave!)" (I)
"(Yes...)" (Hinata)
"< Divine Incarnation: 89% >" (I)
My Dragon body changes to a more humanoid appearance, but even growing to my fullest I am not even half the size of this monstrosity.
That thing didn’t even wait or do anything, it just stretched its claws towards me and I could feel the hunger in its Aura, it saw me as food and didn’t consider my strength.
"(Underestimating me is a mistake.)" (I)
"< Breath of Chaos >" (I)
I use my Divine power and Essence along with my breath attack that creates a Starfire Dragon form controlled by my will.
As soon as my attack collided with his hand it was like a mountain and a volcano colliding, I was thrown a few hundred meters back as the floating island shattered leaving its pieces floating as I spread my wings to stabilize myself in the air.
"How annoying... Dragon Gods are always a nuisance, but at least it will be delicious."
When I looked at the enemy, he looked like a Dragon, but from his Aura I didn’t know if he could be considered as such, his presence seemed like that of several Dragons mixed to the point of feeling Multiple elements forcibly mixed.
His arm had a slight burn that wasn’t healing, but the Starfire was forcibly extinguished somehow, he was too strong for even a Divine level attack to not do more than a mere burn to his hand.
"Who are you, why... bastard!!" (I)
Without even listening to what I was saying, he moved, this time his colossal body moved very quickly and smoothly, getting close to me before I could even react.
"< Teleportation >" (I)
RRROOOAAARRRRG!!!
"Damn!!! GUHH!!!" (I)
I thought I didn’t have enough time to dodge and tried to teleport, but his claws kept coming towards me while his roar made space ripple, which denied my teleportation, with no way to escape his claw reached me this time, but I didn’t let him he holds me in his hand.
I used my Aura against his, increasing the power of his attack as the two Auras collided and knocking me back.
I could see several of my cracked scales and traces of his Aura trying to corrode mine, he also didn’t stay still like before and continued attacking, but unlike last time I won’t try to teleport anymore and tried to move using my smaller size as an advantage.
I suddenly realized the humiliating ’cat and mouse hunt’ situation where I was the mouse running for life.
I wanted to fight him, but the difference in raw power between us was making it difficult to turn things in my favor.
He was bigger than me, but his speed was greater, he was also able to move with fluidity that I didn’t expect seeing his size, his Aura was always attached to me, but strangely he was only physically attacking me the whole time.
I could have been at a disadvantage, but I took the opportunity to get at least a little used to his speed and movements, so after dodging one of his claws leaving only a cut on my wing, I launched my own attack.
"< Breath of Cataclysm >" (I)
A breath attack using all elemental powers, this was my strongest elemental attack and I did it for a reason other than simply attacking.
I could feel the different elements hitting his body, but they caused even less damage than my first attack, he was clearly resistant to all elements.
"< Holy Summon: Star Sword >" (I)
When his tail tried to hit me, I didn’t try to dodge, what I did was use my foot and use the strength of his tail while jumping back at the same time my wings increased my speed.
I used this space to summon my Star Sword and made my Divine Weapons flow into the sword, its shape changed as the Cursed Sun pulsed as it flowed into the middle of the sword and the Fragmented Moon completely shattered with its parts merging into the blade of the sword, Divine Power pulses in the Sword fueling my Weapon as its power increases.
With my Divine Weapons and the Power of the Divine Spark supporting the Star Sword, I use the full power of the illusory Essence Core.
"(I don’t have time for a preparation and he is immune to the power of the elements.)" (I)
The vast majority of my powers were supported by elemental powers, even my two sword techniques were like that using Magic or Spiritual Runes, but none of that would work against this bastard.
I needed to think of something, but in the meantime I also need to balance this fight since I can’t keep running away forever, it wasn’t just me getting used to his movements, the opposite was also true as it became more difficult to avoid his attacks.
Holding the sword in my hand, I stopped just running and wanted to attack, but suddenly he disappeared and I felt the danger coming from my back, when I dropped to the ground I saw his tail grazing my head, without missing this opportunity I turned and I concentrated my power on the blade of the sword.
I wanted to cut that tail off, but when my attack hit its body the space behind the tail was cut off while the tail itself resisted forcefully as the attack slowly deepened halfway before the tail swung throwing me back once more.
"That’s why I hate Dragon Gods, stop the useless and annoying resistance!"
He seemed to treat me like a hunting animal, he only saw me as prey, he spoke as if it were to himself while completely disregarding me.
I was more than irritated, but I wanted to get some information out of him, that Mother of the Grave with the fancy name, Tarzor who was clearly doing something hidden and now this wretched creature trying to eat me, there is something going on and I feel like a pawn in a board that I don’t know at the mercy of those who move the pieces.
With the Gods at least I know the role I’m playing and I know they do things with the intention of rewarding me in the process, but now I’m completely in the dark and I don’t like it.
I ran towards him as he spoke, he didn’t seem to care as he finished speaking and opened his jaws wide enough to swallow me whole, a large suction force came from within.
I closed myself in the space around me while creating a flow of death energy from the surroundings pushing my body downwards, I reached his chest already preparing an attack.
"< Divine Curse: Blade of Chaos >" (I)
