NOVPUBI was trapped in a Galaxy I knew nothing about and surrounded by the enemy’s power, I couldn’t be in a better situation.
"(Exactly as Callidora told me, so it seems he really is far from his companions and is apprehensive enough to use his ace up his sleeve.)" (me)
Callidora told me many things, the price was high, but I needed this information and she knew how to rip every microgram of flesh from my bones in this deal.
Thanks to this I was able to find out about their capillarity of binding their Auras with that of a target, which brought me here, I also found out about the ’Hunting Galaxy’ as you mentioned at least.
Dragon Eaters cannot create territories and cannot use Essence powers, these are limitations due to their own condition as Anomalous Creatures.
Limitations that they quickly found a way to remedy, they create a space inside themselves with the excess power of what they devour, they compress the space inside themselves, thanks to this they can contain even more energy or use the stored power to expand their individually created spaces.
These spaces hide their presence, increase their powers and interfere with the powers of the Essences of their prey by dragging them to a place that does not belong to their universe.
"(I can’t use most of my Essences... only my Essence of Chaos and Anomalous are useful.)" (me)
"(The other Essences seem a bit blocked, I could still use them, but it would be risky, it seems like it would be better to avoid these powers.)" (me)
I could also feel 3 types of energy, one energy seemed poisonous trying to weaken me, the second energy seemed like acid trying to corrode my body and the last energy seemed to be trying to extract my vitality.
For a hunting ground, this damn place gave the enemy a huge advantage, which means he’s not confident enough in a head-on fight.
"Are you that afraid of being eaten!?" (me)
"Leave your provocations aside, none of that affects me... Ghuh!"
"Haah!" (me)
As he spoke, his voice seemed to be coming from all over the place, but a faint trace of Aura floated in one direction, catching my attention.
It was at that moment that an attack came from behind me, but I was prepared since I use the same type of tactics to deceive my enemies, when in enemy territory one shouldn’t completely trust one’s own senses.
My sword descends and meets two of his arms that try to defend my sword while his other arms are unable to reach me, his height is slightly shorter than mine, but his body is incredibly sturdy.
I forcefully pushed him back only for his tail to pierce one of my arms, that’s when I felt an energy invading my body that seemed like an amalgamation of the 3 energies I felt in this damn place.
"< Breath of Anomalous Chaos >" (me)
An amalgamation of Chaos and Anomalous power creates a living Starfire that takes the form of a Dragon heading towards the enemy as it coils around its tail and climbs up its body.
"< Flow of Erosion >"
The power of the Starfire Dragon was impacted with continuous waves of red and purple energy making the flames wave more and more violently until it could no longer maintain its form and completely disappear.
This was the first time my attack was so completely annihilated like this, but I saw that several of the vein marks on its tail were burned and blackened.
"< Anomalous Corrosion Claws >"
"< Tooth of the World Predator >" (me)
He advanced towards me, being so close I wouldn’t let him hide again, I stayed close always advancing towards him, he did the same without trying to hide again, his 3 pairs of arms expanded absorbing the 3 types of energy from the surroundings.
His arms open revealing more and more energy inside them, his claws descending towards me as they advance towards me full of power that made even this place tremble.
I concentrate my power on the blade of the sword going towards him, I couldn’t aim at each of the 6 attacks, so I didn’t plan on hitting any of them, my focus was always on his main body, my sword descending towards his head.
When the 6 claws were close to reaching me, I turned my oven back to its smaller size letting the 6 large claws get in each other’s way, he himself got injured in the process while my sword flew out of my hands continuing to attack.
The sword rearranges itself, creating a true Dragon that opens its jaws on the enemy’s head, but instead of trying to run or avoid the attack, its wings detach from its body as they become 6 blades that collide against the Dragon made of my sword.
Boommm!!!
The collision of the weapons was so strong that it created an explosion spreading waves of Anomalous power that burned the mist of this Galaxy and made the planets crack as if they were close to collapsing.
During this explosion, I lost sight of the enemy who hid among the burning mists, his Aura still as hidden as before, I could not find his presence as my sword flows in fragments back to me as it once again assumes its sword form.
There were scratches on the sword’s blade as well as claw marks on my body, the invading energies inside me were a mere nuisance as they were being devoured by my body slowly.
But that didn’t lessen the risk, his attacks caused injuries that I couldn’t recover from and left an energy that required my constant focus to not cause more damage while it took me a while to get rid of them.
"You’re strong as you imagined, but not strong enough to defeat me."
"Says the coward hiding." (me)
"Your provocations are useless, I already warned you."
"Besides, I’m not hiding."
"< Galactic Beast of Decay >" 𝚗𝚘v𝚙𝚞b.𝚌𝚘m
"..." (me)
"(Oi, oi, oi... this isn’t funny at all...)" (me)
The great Purple Sun in the center of the Galaxy was pulling the other stars that were far away, the red planets around were also shattering as everything was consumed by the green sun that grew bigger and bigger before shrinking as if it was being condensed by something.
Soon I see the enemy’s armor once again, this time it was ripping off the green sun while the armor turned purple, the two colors didn’t match, in the center of what should have been the head there were 3 red spheres that rotated around each other.
His body was now the size of an entire solar system, the stars that were pulled by him that weren’t absorbed, were rotating around his body, just the gravity of his body was already trying to pull me closer.
"You really are a threat, your blows were able to hurt my body and I can feel my power infecting your body being slowly destroyed!"
"I won’t allow such a threat to last, die!"
His booming voice seemed to come from everywhere, his body was so colossal that I couldn’t look at him in its entirety, I’d never seen anything so colossal, but something didn’t seem right, even as I listened to him and was seeing the movement of one of his large arms, I was still trying to analyze what he could do since I didn’t know this ability, it wasn’t something that Callidora informed.
"(Your metal body is almost insignificant with this large body... but where is your Anomalous Core?)" (me)
Your green flame arm moves, screaming a great gravitational force that fuses fragments of the surrounding red planets, creating a large red hand the size of a large planet falling towards me.
"(The head...)" (me)
"< Incarnation of the Unholy Eclipse >" (me)
The Anomalous power and my Divinity mix, my Essences seem to be consumed by my existence as my body expands more and more, Starfire burns around me as an Eclipse forms behind me, my power rises much faster than the last time I used this power.
This time I didn’t lose in the transformation of my body. I flowed my power into the sword in my hands. This time I would use the form of the first sword to launch the attack of the third sword that needs to contain the power of the Chaotic Devourer to go against this type of enemy.
"< 3rd Art of the Star Sword: Dragon of the End >" (me)
The power of the illusory Eclipse that formed on my back went throughout my body, going to the sword that was dyed with a black energy as if it were ink, red veins pulsating on the blade standing out in the darkness. With a swing of my sword, I created a large cut in a natural way as if it were drawn with a brush.
The cut of my sword didn’t move from its place. It really looked like I had created a design using the sword. The cut in the shape of a half moon was static as if it had been drawn in space, a bloodthirsty presence leaking out while red veins were pulsating rapidly before breaking apart, revealing themselves to be bars.
A torrent of darkness pours into the form like an endless tide, an Aura of Primordial Hunger emerges as 5 pairs of eyes open in this darkness that takes the form of a Dragon, the 5 pairs of eyes were actually wings while the Dragon’s head only had a large mouth full of teeth as it advances towards the fist descending against me, red chains around its body as if ready to bind it again.
