I couldn’t think of anything I could do, none of my attacks were having the effect I expected, this damn bastard was resistant to everything with the power of Chaos being the only thing that had the slightest effect on him, that’s counting the strengthening of my Divine Weapon and the Spark of Divinity.
Even the curse of the first attack that keeps his body continually under the effect of Starfire did nothing more than keep his body malleable, even going through half of his body with one attack did nothing and even cutting his head off seemed like just a nuisance to him he.
I didn’t know what to do, I haven’t felt this distressed since I came back from Hell, but now I feel almost panicked.
I was racking my brain trying to think of something I could do, I can’t get away from this bastard, he can interfere with space preventing teleportation and some fat lady can sense my presence as I move below ground to wait for me right where I left.
Clearly running away was not an option and fighting was almost at the level of impossibility as the damage I caused was being ignored as if it were nothing, the entire time he did not show any kind of concern or nervousness, the only thing he showed was anger Because his ’food’ dared to harm him, his Aura and presence also did not weaken even after cutting off his head.
"(Calm down, Zenos... calm down... think about everything you’ve learned...)" (I)
I tried to put aside thinking about his defenses and started thinking about the change my curse had caused to his body making him vulnerable enough for my last 2 big attacks to do that level of damage, a malleable body like that could be cut and pierced, which I tried to do without success.
While I was thinking, I received another blow that broke my ribs, but I took advantage of the force of the blow while resisting the pain to move away from him, just fighting him would be useless if I don’t have a way to defeat this bastard.
"(I can seal him... maybe...?)" (I)
I tried to think a little realizing that I have little knowledge of sealing, this was clearly possible, the chains made from mirror fragments show that he was sealed before that wretched Mother of the Grave released him.
"(I focused too much on offensive techniques, I’m not good at defense, and I know next to nothing about sealing creatures...damn!)" (I)
He once again got to me, this time he performed 3 attacks in a row as if knowing how I would react to each one of them.
It opened its jaw trying to bite me from the right, avoiding the obvious side to dodge, I let my body fall downwards while pushing with my wings before I was within suction range of its mouth, that’s when its claw from below tried to hit me, I was very close and I turned my body to the side, still being hit, my entire arm was ripped off with the Star Sword still attached to it.
It was at that moment that another attack came, his tail was inches from my head from behind, I used body control to twist my head in an impossible way, barely managing to avoid having my head exploded.
At that moment my survival instincts were frantic and without thinking much my Dragon jaws sank into its tail, when I realized this it was already too late to stop, so I used all my power tearing off part of its tail and swallowing it while the Star Sword flew back. to me dragging my torn off arm.

"..." (I)
I could feel my own Soul bubbling as the Essence Core was restructuring, my body was changing on a fundamental level as well.
I felt the piece of the creature that I ate trying to devour me from the inside before being dissolved by me into something similar to Essences, then that something was assimilated into my body and Soul causing a sharp pain to run through everything in me for a brief second.
During this time the creature’s presence became much stronger and its claw pierced my stomach before trying to trap me, I acted on impulse, moving away as much as possible.
"< Explosion >" (I)
I threw several magic crystals that I had saved from the Chaos element and the Space element, then exploded them creating space between the two of us emanating away.
This time he didn’t try to attack me dryly like before, he also wasn’t acting like before, I felt like he was seeing me more than just food for the first time as true fury shone brightly in his Aura.
During this time the pain I was going through improved and I could see the notifications that appeared, I was surprised and amazed by many things, but it wasn’t time to think about any of that now, survival was more important.
"You bastard, how dare you try to devour me, HOW DARE YOU!?" (Erkales)
"Do you expect me to sit still and let you devour me!?" (I)
"Useless and weak dragons like you are only good for that!" (Erkales)
"After I devour you I will track down every one of your lineage and tribe to use your bones as decoration after the meal!" (Erkales)
As I let him speak, I was thinking of a way to defeat him with the new possibilities that have arisen, none of his injuries have recovered so far, but I couldn’t launch such powerful attacks in a row.
Luckily I saw his tail still with my bite mark, so I thought about what I just did and how his body was malleable due to my curse, a crazy idea popped into my head.
I was still hesitant because of the notifications, but I couldn’t think about anything else, even so I still didn’t have the upper hand, I had just found a way to fight and victory finally became a possibility.
"Now let’s see who will devour who!" (I)
I was prepared for what was coming and this time I attacked first I went towards him who must have felt challenged, he opened his jaws against me once again as he advanced towards me.
When we were facing each other, I didn’t dare to truly go head to head against him, I’m still inferior in physique and defense, he could completely swallow me if he wanted.
I just wanted to annoy him and I knew I had succeeded, while talking to him I was trying to heal my scales that were melted while I was inside his mouth, I partially healed the hole in my stomach I lay down by his claws and put my arm back in place.
I wasn’t completely cured, in fact I was far from it, but I was well enough to fight.
"< Multi Elemental Enhancement Magic: Wings of Penumbra >" (I)
I used other magic crystals of various elements while creating a new pair of Multi colored wings on my back giving a boost to my speed and maneuverability.
With that I managed to dodge him due to the surprise of the change in my movements, so I concentrated my power on the allowance, ripping off two fingers from one of his claws before devouring them entirely, I made my jaw widen just so as not to give him time to do anything. against me.
Even so, I was on guard as the power was being absorbed not by me, but by my Blood Core where Niryna was, this made me prepared before I heard a voice in my head.
"(I keep this delicious supplement, it will be very nutritious for my daughter.)" (Callidora)
I wanted to complain to her but I didn’t know if maybe I should thank her, this power was something I didn’t know about and I didn’t know if it would be beneficial so I didn’t think about it any longer when a tail tried to attack me and a second claw was coming at me. my direction.
"HOW DARE YOU DEVOUR ME!!!" (Erkales)
He was no longer caring about anything, his attacks were getting faster, it seems like before he wasn’t taking it seriously, but now he was truly enraged.
He continued attacking faster, harder, and from increasingly complex angles.
All I could do were small bodies and insignificant bites due to not having time to do better while dodging.
"If this continues like this, I’m the one who will lose in the end." (I)
I had to do something, but I didn’t know what, so I remembered something and tried to feel it inside my body, just as I expected, Hinata was still inside me, in fact she was looking inside my Soul for the Essence Core of In a curious way, as if noticing my attention focused on her, her head leaves my body and an idea appears in my head.
"Hinata, I want you to possess my body!" (I)
"..." (Hinata)
