The instinct of demon makia was sharp as he felt movement in my direction but by then, I had changed Ether’s form into an arm band.The fight between babel and bamel has been going on for few minutes now.During this time bamel had used external mana manipulation twice to manifest poison weapons and attacked babel while engaging him in melee combat at the same time.This made babel unable to defend at two front but babel didn’t give up and focused his attention on bamel, injuring him leaving his black scales to take the burnt.Babel looked like a madman attacking bamel again and again in same place, which were his head, stomach and other sensory organs but I knew he was not attacking him blindly and had a strategy in his mind.More than 50% of the scales from babel body have fallen, while bamel had many places in his body turned completely black filled with cracks due to poison.Babel’s eyes were filled with rage while bamel looked like he would faint any time, the only thing keeping
Both our swords collided once again but the result this time was different because the black gas on Makia’s sword started to recede and edges of his sword started to melt.The golden aura was created by infusing fate points into the lightning energy I infused in Ether sword and it was more effective against demonic attribute fire ability and weapons than I thought.He distanced himself from me but using [Crusader step], I slashed him two more time before halting few meter away from him.The demon looked at me with eyes filled with disbelief and tinge of fear and I looked at the two wounds on his chest which weren’t regenerating but soon his lips were curled upward, his fear turned into a vicious smile.I looked in the other direction for a moment, where another battle was taking place and could see babel struggling to kill rest of his brothers as few more beasts wearing black uniform has joined the fight.If he dies before becoming king, my mission will fail, and I can’t let that happ
Killing an ethereal physique ranked demon was not an easy task and I can’t reveal my true strength or demon jabel would intervene in our duel thus I slowly matched my strength with demon makia as if the rise in my strength was natural.His mana reserve even after including his ability to manipulate mana externally was lower than mine.His demonic physique’s attributes like strength, agility and others were far superior when compared to normal humans but they were inferior when compared to my draconic physique.Using external mana manipulation he had attacked me multiple time with myriad of weapons, his black fire attribute’s severity has increased several times by as it was able to endure the heavy rain but using my own ability [Infinite blades] I met his every attack decisively.His aura attacks were impressive but with the help of Ether sword I endured most of the attacks absorbing the chunk of his aura in the process.As the attacks of demon Makia were getting repetitive and he had
‘Good news.’ I said.‘Well the good news is, I don’t think the demon in front of us has merged with any beast core and have completely severed his ties with world mana.’ Merlin said.‘You are telling me that he has become this strong without relying on mana, which can only mean….’ I said but stopped mid-sentence understanding the severity of situation.‘He is an ‘Aura master’.’ Merlin completed my sentence and confirmed my hypothesis.If I have to describe my most hellish experience while fighting in the sea of consciousness, than without a doubt, it was to fight against an aura master and aura grandmaster.I was somehow able to deal with aura master but a mere touch of an aura grandmaster was enough to melt me.Fortunately and unfortunately the opponent in front of me was an aura master and with this revelation, my chances of winning reduced by a huge margin.‘Whatever you do, just don’t let him get a hold of you.’ Merlin said.Aura was a force existing on this planet since ancient t
Multiple [lightning bolts] and [Divine verdict] spells rained down on him from every direction but his thick aura shield was neutralizing my every attack while he focused on recovering.He prepared multiple aura weapons and fired them at me but more than half the weapons were intercepted by magic spells inside the [Lightning Domain] while I easily avoided rest of the aura attacks.Irritated by the continuous barrage of attack he headed toward the edge of [Lightning domain] and punched it with all his might.Boooomm[Mana: -30,250]Ignoring the notification I used [Lightning Step] and appeared behind him performing [Soul slash] once again which landed on him perfectly but something didn’t feet right to me and just as I was about to find out what it was, a hand came out nowhere and grabbed my throat.He intentionally took the full brunt of my [Soul slash] and buried me in the ground holding me by my throat while his black aura corroded the dragon scales on my body.He was exuding the bl
***“Brother where did you find such a powerful beast.” Barita spoke from the distance cave seeing the golden dome lift and image of two dragon head collide with each other as the whole kingdom was swept away by the shockwave.“Shut up and follow me.” I remained dazed for few seconds because I knew lord eric was strong but never in my wildest dream I would have imagine him to be capable of causing such destruction.Even after few seconds have passed there were no movements felt in the distance, thus we both proceeded toward the center of the battlefield.***My eyes closed shut but it hadn’t been a minute and my consciousness returned due to continuous shouts of merlin in my head.My hybrid draconic form was undone but there was a big scar around my neck and a huge hole in my stomach which leaked black aura from time to time and refused to regenerate acting as a slow poison.Intense pain arose from every part of my body which was the backlash of using three, rank 8 magic spell and try
[Level: 11 - -> 17] A sense of euphoria swept through my whole body, a feeling I have never felt before as the pain I was feeling before momentarily halted but resumed few seconds later. I didn’t feel much increase in strength when I last leveled up but this 6 level increase was definitely a noticeable change. Now that I was able to move I could feel my bodily movement has become more fluid than before but it was not the time and place to test my strength. Babel had introduced me as a rank 12 beast among his peoples and the fact that I was able to kill two demons alone nobody doubted his words. A rank 12 beast was the same existence as gods among beasts, therefore they didn’t dare look into my eyes, of course as long as I am here they won’t cause trouble for babel thinking I have his back, but nevertheless royal family had many things to explain and apologize for. After I have finished speaking, babel addressed his peoples asking for their forgiveness while explained his future
[Soul Eater]I released black mist from my palms, which spread in all direction consuming soul from the beast cores and within 8 hours, I was done absorbing soul force from all the 15,452 beast cores.[Soul force: +6 million][Soul force: 253/253 Million]When I was done with absorbing soul force from beast cores, only dim husk of cores remained which was useless to me.‘Go Ether devour all the cores.’ I said in my mind and ether left my hand changing into a liquid wave devouring every core within few minutes and returned to me changing into a bracelet once again.I had tried many things with ether and knew that it could even be condensed into a drop of water if I wish.‘It grows every time it absorbs something but its ability to condense itself is excellent, you sure you don’t want to tell me about its origin.’ I asked merlin.‘I am bound by contract to not reveal its origin but few other peoples beside me know about it, when we meet them, I will have them tell you.’ Merlin said.By
