NOVPUBIncarnation of the Unholy Eclipse
3rd Art of the Star Sword: Dragon of the End
This was my strongest strike, I didn’t spare any power, because I couldn’t imagine any other possibility of victory after this strike, so it had to work or my entire plan would go down the drain along with what was left of my corpse.
The Darkness Dragon was basically made of my Chaos and Anomalous power in its final form, awakening the wildest thing inside me, it wasn’t something I created but something I released, a part of me amplified countless times.
The Darkness Dragon looked like a fly going against that pine, but its presence only grew stronger and stronger, my own presence almost being dominated by the savagery of this attack.
When the fist came down there was no collision, shockwave or explosion, fortunately the attack was more physical than I expected, as soon as it touched the Dark Dragon its body dissolved into liquid energy that expanded infinitely, it was as if a bubble had burst releasing a colossal dam.
The dark liquid was on fire, Starfire spreading along with the darkness, eyes opened in the Starfire instead of stars while jaws full of teeth were barely visible hidden in the liquid darkness.
Fire and Darkness intertwined covering the entire arm at once as if a blanket had been thrown open above it, but it did not stop with the arm.
The flames invaded his body corrupting the green Fire inside him, in fact burning the green Fire the darkness gave way to teeth and claws that tear apart everything in their path as they advanced through the arm towards the head.
He seemed to realize the danger, all of this happened very quickly, from his attack to my trump card being released on him, it was the first time I felt a turbulence in his Aura, he didn’t hesitate for a second after realizing the danger, he cut off his arm using his other hand, even the part of the armor that made up his true body was cut off without delay, completely separating that arm from the rest of his body.
"Naive..." (me)
"< Fury of Decay... >"
He acted wrongly and that was a bit of luck for me, his entire body carries a lot of power, I realized this when I faced Erkales in the past and the same goes for this Dragon Eater in front of me.
Abandoning his arm like that didn’t save him, my attack isn’t something that was made to corrupt or destroy only, it was made to consume.
The severed arm reversed its position as it deformed again into the form of a Dragon, but this time its size grew to the same as that arm while countless deformed dark claws extended from its body as it still advanced towards him, the red chains around it appearing once again pulsing as if fresh blood was running inside.
He tried to use another technique, but there was no time, he used his other arm in front as a shield, but the Dragon of Darkness simply exploded in a rain of Starfire that deflected the large arm of green flames going straight for his head.
There was nothing else for him to do as the countless drops of darkness and focuses of Starfire all over his head interconnected forming a large mouth full of teeth that closed over his head.
Red chains exploded outwards as I threw the sword in my hands directly at the portal where the Dragon of Darkness came out, the sword entered from one side, but did not come out the other, in fact a large blade came out of the head being devoured.
Soon the dark chains and claws try to drag the enemy’s entire body into the blade of the sword that seemed to chew everything that entered.
"GHUHH!!" (me)
COUGH Cough Cough
It was at that moment that I felt fear, I couldn’t even move when I felt something piercing my chest while something grabbed my head with such force that my skull was cracking almost breaking.
But that was only for half a second before I felt something else interfere, pulling what I discovered was its 3 fingers of a claw piercing my chest as I saw the hand holding my skull being pulled like metal wires holding the fingers.
When I turned around I saw a passage in space where several energies were colliding making it impossible to see inside.
But I didn’t have time to think about other matters as I moved away from that opening in space and as I focused on the piece of metal writhing in front of me.
"(Exactly like Erkales...)" (me)
On one side my sword was absorbing with great greed all the Green Sun along with everything it had absorbed before as well as the darkness around it.
On the other side was that piece of metal writhing with some pieces missing, it was a purple metal with some traces of green flames, the purple veins had almost no shine left as they reorganized themselves into a more humanoid body.
When my sword finished devouring everything of that green Sun as well as what was left of the Dragon of Darkness along with the Starfire, only the red chains remained now attached to the sword that was dragged into the crack where the Dragon of Darkness came out.
I was doing this calmly while my focus was on the enemy reorganizing its body and the surroundings to avoid another surprise attack.
When the crack closed only my sword remained, this time it was smaller and there were red chains around it with many green eyes opening as if they were stars on the blade.
I hold the sword feeling the power contained inside it, it was too much power and it was trying to destroy the sword, even starting to attack me as soon as it landed in my hands, of course without success because it was being suppressed inside the sword.
"(That’s a lot more power than I took from Erkales, I also can’t refine that power quickly even with my Chaos power.)" (me)
"How did you know all of this? How did you know about my Core!?"
As the enemy tried to assume its most Humanoid Form, it was as if it couldn’t hold its body together, some parts were loose, other parts were thick with more layers of metal than the rest of its body, and other parts were without any metal covering.
But what was evident was its head, the orbs that were the eye holes in its head were gone, leaving only 1 half-melted and cracked fragment in one of the 3 holes it uses as eyes.
Its Aura and presence were much weaker now compared to before, its killing intent was greater as this entire place seemed to suddenly become unstable.
"I wasn’t sure, but it was most likely, so I took a chance." (me)
"You did more than that! What was that thing!?"
"Are you an idiot? Why would I tell you anything?" (me)
"Damn Dragon!!!"
"(20%... no, probably somewhere between 13% and 17%... I’m too weak to maintain this form.)" (me)
"(My wounds... aren’t healing either.)" (me)
My Dragon body returned to normal as the Eclipse behind Kim disappeared without a trace. 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
When I looked at the enemy once more, I realized that he was in a worse situation, he was not only weaker than before, he was seriously injured.
The wounds on my chest were still pulsing with a golden energy, and I felt something burn in my head, when I realized that it was a red handprint that melted even my scales, I realized that it was someone even more powerful than this enemy in front of me.
Holding the sword in my hands, I charged towards the enemy in a final thrust, I could not leave him alive and I could not miss this opportunity in which he was so worn out.
He tried to go against me, but each blow of my sword was accumulating scratches on his metal body, the walls of his body wrapped around himself were loosening almost undoing his body with each of my blows.
Even so, he seemed to have no fear as he advanced towards me as if he wasn’t one step away from dying. I didn’t understand why he acted like that, but then the entire space around us seemed to shrink, waves of energy were closing in on us both and I felt two presences lock onto me.
Wasting no time, I threw my sword at the enemy in front of me, disregarding the two presences I had just felt. There were clearly more enemies waiting outside and this place was collapsing, taking us out. I could even feel my Essences returning to normal as well as my Divinity.
That’s when I felt a third presence appear out of nowhere. A tongue came out of space, dragging the body of the enemy in front of me away. My sword collided with the tongue, leaving only a scratch on the tongue that crushed the metal body it pulled.
"This isn’t over yet, Akatosh..."
"They ran away? How did they do that?" (Akatosh)
"I don’t know, those cracks appeared too fast and their forms..." (Arash)
"..." (me)
"(I knew it... Damn God...)" (me)
When I returned to normal space I realized the chaos that was outside, the Mirrored Space was destroyed in scattered shards, the space itself around was covered in holes and claw marks, traces of energies vibrated in every corner while misshapen energies were coming into conflict with the flow of natural energy.
In front of me were 8 Dragons of which I only recognize 2 of them.
One of them being the Father of Nix, the Dragon Emperor from whom I now feel a Divine presence.
The second was the only one in human form, he seemed young, but his presence was tyrannical making his identity as a Dragon God indisputable.
I knew Akatosh wouldn’t leave me on my own, he seemed very excited when he altered my Dragon Totem to distribute Anomalous Power to the other Dragons, he also seems to hate the Dragon Eaters a lot, he wouldn’t let me take care of them alone even if I could do it for him.
The whole time I was just bait, I wasn’t sure about that and that’s why I tried to separate them like that, I thought they attacked the companions I left behind, I even left Samara on standby, but even so I was attacked just now by surprise.
They were slower than I thought to act or the enemies were more assertive than I thought when going against me while facing the Dragons of this Universe.
