NOVPUBIt had a completely humanoid shape, its gender seems undefined and I don’t even know if there is a concept of gender for them other than the perception of their voices being more masculine or feminine.
But if I had to guess, the one in front of me would fall more on the feminine side, the contours of its body and way of moving are more feminine.
Its Dragon head only had one eye that looked like a crystal with 5 other crystals moving inside, its hair was metal tentacles full of thorns, its mouth was strangely large and was open with a very long tongue moving outside as if it were a Serpent.
Its entire body had no openings in the metal armor, so that was probably its real appearance, only the wings on its back were something that took me a while to realize, its wings looked like portals containing flows of power similar to that of galaxies inside, but my eyes kept drifting making it difficult to keep looking at the wings.
Its size was also huge, as soon as I arrived it seemed like I had seen an iron wall, it was over 100 kilometers tall, its presence was bloody and full of violence.
"Sorry Master, but it seems like your bad luck really is strong." (Samara)
"What do you mean by that?" (me)
"There’s more..." (Samara)
When Samara said that it was as if my vision had doubled or in this case, had multiplied 5 times, it was a very strange thing in many different ways.
At first I could only see one enemy, but the moment Samara talked about there being more enemies it was as if that single body divided into five, it was incomprehensible to me.
But I didn’t hesitate or let my guard down for even a single moment, I was focused the whole time without letting my mind wander, I was looking for whatever was different and that was when I noticed that eye once again.
The crystal that should represent her eye had 5 other crystals spinning inside it, but now each of the 5 had only 1 of these crystals, that was the difference, unfortunately discovering this didn’t change anything other than reaffirming that that eye should be her Anomalous Core.
"(Master, alone they are weak, but be careful, they mess with the perception of the 5 senses.)" (Samara)
"(Can you take care of two?)" (me)
"(Yes, but can you fight 3 alone?)" (Samara)
"(Who said I’m alone?)" (me)
While I was next to Samara, the enemy didn’t attack, just as we were analyzing her power, she was clearly doing the same, I had already noticed her Aura having small skirmishes against my Aura, she is testing my power.
Her gaze was also fixed on me, or in this case I should say that the gaze of the 5 was fixed on me, clearly still seeing me as a priority target.
"Such a good appetizer, I must thank you." (5 Voices)
"Are you talking about your companion?" (me)
"He was delicious, it’s extremely rare that we have such an opportunity." (5 Voices)
"Unfortunately you got his Core or you could have a sixth me now." (5 Voices)
"..." (me)
I couldn’t help but be taken aback, is she insinuating that each of their bodies is a clone created by devouring one of their companions?
That was the only thing I could think of about it, and her words were very much geared towards that kind of reasoning, but none of them seemed fake or a copy, they seemed completely like the same individual multiplied 5 times, even their voices, ways of moving, and tone of speech were the same.
"(They are all literally her, parts of a whole, separate but still one... I’m getting interested...)" (Samara)
"..." (Me)
I was curious about a few things, but I couldn’t let my mind wander, I had to defeat the enemy, and a few ideas of things to prevent during the battle crossed my mind.
"< Divine Summon: 6 Unholy Stars >" (me)
"< Divine Summon: Herald of Chaos >" (me)
"< Divine Summon: Herald of the Abyss >" (me)
I wouldn’t waste much time, I was outnumbered and as much as I trust Samara’s power, 2 Dragon Eaters might be too much for her, even if she won’t die, if she lets one escape in the middle of the battle because she can’t hold two, I’ll be in danger.
With that kind of thought I return to my Dragon form once again, my body growing while 8 magic circles appear on my back, my Familiars come out of 6 of those magic circles while Hades and Zaya come out of the last two.
"Focus on your enemy!" (me) 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝒑𝙪𝒃.𝒄𝒐𝙢
"YES!!!" (all)
The good part about being connected to all of them is that I don’t have to say anything, I could directly transmit the information directly to their minds, so they know what I know and how they’re going to attack.
I’m going to be against one enemy, I also left Samara Cintra an enemy, Zaya and Hades will take on the third enemy while my Familiars will split into two groups attacking the last 2 enemies.
I had to keep the 5 busy and separated, I didn’t need to be a genius to know that the coordination of these 5 would be one of their strong points, I can’t let it come to that.
"Attack!" (me)
I don’t need any other words, everyone moved at the same time, I also made it clear how they should be aware of other possible enemies, I couldn’t see Akatosh or Arash anywhere, I had no idea how many enemies there could still be.
"< Unholy Eclipse Magic: Starfall >" (me)
"< Anomalous Perception >"
With everyone moving at the same time, I was the one who attacked the fastest, with my fist aiming at the enemy’s head, who received my attack with his own. It should have been a stalemate, with his strength not being any less than mine. In fact, his strength was even slightly above mine. But I also attacked with my other fist and a whip from my tail.
At that moment, there were several whips full of thorns coming towards me, each of them emanating a concentrated murderous Aura, but by then my goal of dragging the enemy back had been accomplished.
It was while I flapped my wings, creating a space of distance while using my blood to create a magic circle. The Power of Chaos and Anomalous, which are the weaknesses of the Dragon Eaters, fused together, spreading a wave that traveled through the surroundings.
The stars around us seemed to duplicate themselves as half of them began to burn as if they were living creatures close to their death, they all fell together like a rain of flaming arrows aimed at the enemy.
Unfortunately, it was at this moment that I noticed her eyes changing into a cacophony of psychedelic colors, the space around her seemed to have become strange, when the stars fell it seemed to be hitting her, but then it created a ripple as if it had fallen into the reflected image of a mirror of water.
She remained still until the rain of stars ended, but I smiled, this was not just an indiscriminate area attack, with a snap of her fingers all the stars that had already stopped exploded at the same time spreading flames of Starfire in all directions.
"< Sensory Overload >"
Suddenly I feel all my senses multiplying countless times, an infinite amount of fragrances, a deafening noise that seems to create echo after echo, an endless rough sensation throughout my body and horrible flavors that come from the saliva in my mouth, my vision was doubling, tripling, quadrupling and so on while all the colors became extremely intense.
I couldn’t help but smile as I closed all my senses keeping only my Aura, a sixth sense or perhaps a sense that I couldn’t associate with anything else, when I did it was quick, but I realized that not much had changed, in fact the world around me looked like an abstract art painting.
My body was pierced by several of his ’hairs’ but the pain that was already too much was being amplified infinitely, but I just smiled at the enemy’s mistake.
"If I can’t even trust my Aura, then I can trust your body!" (me)
For me, who had my body ravaged in the cursed ocean of hell and went through who knows how many near-death experiences, physical pain became something completely bearable regardless of the amount, it was no longer something that would affect my concentration or could make me lower my guard.
"< Divine Blood Curse: Desecration of Existence >" (me)
With so many of these tentacles piercing my body, I had a clear notion of where the enemy was, the blood in my body flows full of the power of chaos and gaining life through the Anomalous power, it flows through the wounds like a burst dam, blood streams gaining greater and greater speeds as they flow through the enemy’s ’hair’.
I smile when I feel the ’hair’ trying to leave my body, I force my muscles to tighten around the wounds trapping the ’hair’ directly to my body, their spines only helped to keep it tightly attached as I grab some of these tentacles in my hands.
"Come closer, I promise I’ll bite gently... hahahaha..." (me)
"Let go of me!!!"
"HHAAAAHHH!!!"
I could feel my blood invading her body, corroding and breaking her metal armor, I pull her tentacles hard until I feel her body collide with mine, my size bigger than hers this time, without hesitation my jaws close devouring her head, shoulders and half of her chest.
Some of her ’hair’ tried to trap my jaws open, but I crush them between my teeth and burn them with Starfire.
In 3 or 4 bites due to her entire body while sealing her Anomalous Core directly into my stomach, I can feel that she was still alive inside the Anomalous Core.
"< Unholy Curse: Eclipse Seal >" (me)
"She was weaker than the other one I defeated..." (me)
