Chapter 1097: Battle Between Dragons
-----
"Stop them! Don't let them give a single step forward!"
"Dammit, how did they get here?!"
"The three generals unleashed a hundred-layered barrier and even then it broke?!"
"GRAAACK! Enemy is here!"
"Go defend…!"
The lizardmen screamed in anger and frustration, the more eloquent of the bunch which could talk much better mostly because they ate the most elves, were the ones that liked speaking the most. The others, which couldn't properly speak that well, were only screaming and roaring in panic.
Yet, before they could reach their attackers, three flashes of green, red, and gold light reached them within mere seconds, the only thing they could do was watch as their weapons and techniques splattered their bodies into pieces.
Erika's swordsmanship attacks summoned giant draconic parts with each swing of her blade, combining the sword's cursed and holy powers together to release the most devastating attacks. Erdrich used his sheer physical strength to pulverize his foes with punches, kicks, and beams of pure concentrated Demonic Ki, and he wasn't even using his Spirits yet.
Elizabeth broke loose, completely obliterating everything as she fused with the Holy Dragon Spirit and the Mountain Turtle Spirit transformed into a huge holy hammer by fusing with her staff. Using her enhanced physical strength, she devastated all foes by crushing them to smithereens with a mighty holy hammer.
BAAAM! BAAAM! BAAAM! BAAAM!
The destruction covered the entire city as they devastated any foe that got closer, moving around like flashes of light, mere blurs the lizardmen and the draconic beasts could simply not even discern!
Their levels had already reached a new height, reached max level, and then broke through long ago, they were all now exuding auras of…
Rank 5 Spirit Orbs!
Aside from the bonus stats of Ranking Up, they gained new Skills, and also new Spirits, which emerged from their Spirit Orbs, summoning their incredible power.
And this time, these Spirits were much stronger than any previous ones!
"Come out, Yggdragon Treant Spirit!"
Erika summoned her Rank 5 Spirit, emerging from within her powerful Aura and surging like a titanic dragon made of wood and flames, it was also a treant, a type of wooden monster, but completely covered by fire!
While her previous spirits were all puppet-themed, this new spirit was completely different, Erika used her own powers and body as materials to give birth to this new spirit, one capable of unleashing draconic flames.
And…
"{Spirit Fusion}!"
RUMBLE!
The giant dragon fused with her body, giving her a powerful draconic appearance, much more advanced than her own Draconification skill! Golden and wooden scales covered her body, alongside golden and green flames. Her draconic eyes shone with beautiful golden luster, and her big dragon wings spread out majestically.
And within her Spirit Orb, something surged, as she continued leveling up, a spark of glowing light, encompassing, and encapsulating all her strengths, memories, emotions, and her heart.
"I think I am getting it…"
Her eyes glowed brightly, as this flame within her continued growing larger, and larger, and larger.
Elizabeth and Erdrich noticed it, Erika was already developing something that they had been taking a while to even begin to grasp.
"Wait what, already?!"
"She's… really catching up with Blake!"
Yes, what was within her was…
"{Divine Spirit Aura}!"
FLUOSH!
A Divinity!
Erika disappeared from where she was as thousands of lizardmen and draconic beasts were about to attack her, and within that second of a time frame, she rushed across their bodies, slashing them all apart.
SLAAASH!
And then, once that second passed, their bodies exploded and fell apart, sliced into several pieces, splattering the floor with blood!
FLASH!
Erika continued moving, running around every street she could, every foe she saw was eliminated instantly, there was no mercy, only cleanup.
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
As the number of foes within the city, which numbered over thirty thousand were being rapidly reduced by the second, as Erika killed hundreds as she moved everywhere, the three generals watching from within the castle felt utterly frustrated.
"She's too strong, bros!"
"What does she have?!"
"That's… a Divinity?!"
The three brothers, looking almost exactly the same but with different eye colors, seemed to have found out that the only way they were even having a chance was by attacking right now.
And unleashing all their power at once.
"And so what?! We can combine and achieve something similar, if not stronger!"
"T-That's right!"
"Gramps Garnef got our backs anyways, let's do it!"
The trio didn't even think through things at all, completely filled with fear of dying, all three of them, quickly unleashed their Magical and Spiritual Auras, their Souls themselves connecting as one.
"{Unique Dragon Magic}: {Draconic Soul Fusion}!"
TRUUUM!
The entire castle trembled in that moment, as everyone glanced upwards at the collapsing castle's ceiling, and of something enormous emerging from within it!
RUMBLE!
Something gigantic emerged from within, easily surpassing two hundred meters of height, tearing through the castle walls with its bare claws.
A gigantic, three-headed dragon spread out its six wings, three tails, and eight legs! Its nine eyes overflowed with Mana and Draconic Power, looking down on Erika in front of him.
"GROOAAARRR!"
With a ferocious triple roar, the three-headed dragon rushed down, leaping towards Erika with tremendous momentum, all three of its heads charged elemental powers. One blazed with crimson flames, another generated azure frost, and the third golden lightning.
"A dragon?!"
Erika quickly put pointing her blade as the incoming elemental attacks reached her, resembling a storm of powerful elemental attacks! She swung her giant blade with all her strength, further equipping the rest of her spirits as armor and even creating a new sword out of one.
SLAAASH!
Yet, her attack was not doing it! Her eyes widened as she quickly bombarded the dragon with magic, but its triple breath attack…
Broke through her slashing blow!
BOOOMMM!!!
Erika was sent flying, her armor breaking apart, having barely helped her survive as she fell and then rolled over the pavement of the city.
"Ugh…!" she groaned, slowly standing up again. "T-That thing's strong!"
"Erika!"
"Wait right there!"
Elizabeth and Erdrich quickly reached Erika, as the trio faced against the monstrosity in front of them.
"Foolish humans…"
"Did you think that we were all just fodder for you?!
"TURNS OUT WE'RE STRONG, HAHAHAHAH!"
As the trio stepped back, preparing for a life and death battle…
RUMBLE!
A gigantic silver dragon descended from the skies.
The kids immediately noticed who he was.
"Bestellen?!"
The gigantic divine dragon smiled, his glowing golden eyes glaring at the three-headed dragon in front of him, his divinity rising rapidly.
"Good! This is more like it! You're almost as strong as a divine dragon! How is this possible?! Hahaha! That bastard of Fafnir might be stronger than me if he can create things like you!"
"W-WHO ARE YOU?!"
The three-headed dragon screamed in horror and surprise, as they quickly unleashed a triple-elemental storm attack against Bestellen.
"That won't do, fools!"
He quickly materialized a giant blade made of Golden Flames using his very lifeforce (HP) and swung it horizontally, slashing apart the elemental attack Erika had such a hard time resisting!
SLAAASH!
BOOOM!
"Eh?! No damage?!"
"That's impossible!"
"How strong is he?!"
The three-headed dragon was left flabbergasted!
"If you want to even last longer than one minute, you better show me something stronger than that, you brats!" Bestellen laughed. "Because I am not holding back now!"
The Divine Dragon showed the young'uns what a true dragon was all about.
