The flaming sword that is currently burning brightly in Elric"s hands emitted a terrifying aura and heat. Judging from its constantly pulsating size, it appears to have the capacity to extend according to Elric"s will.It was a sword conjured using Elric"s authority of fire, and the fact that all the Dragons just used a fire elemental based attack, basically contributed to Elric"s power instead.
From the distance, a dual sword-wielding Dragon flew with a domineering presence before the gazing the Dragons of North, West, and Southern region, its Kings and Queens included.
"This..."
"Just what kind of Dragon is that."
"The fire elemental presence in him alone is scary enough, now that he sculpted it into a sword, just how terrifying could he get?"
Leah could hear the mumbling of awe and fear between those who are under her. With Elric inching closer, she could also see her members slowly backing away.
"Do not be afraid! Do not forget we are the Dragons of the North, water and ice is our natural affinity. Why are you afraid of a mere flaming sword?" Leah, with an authoritative voice, managed to bring her members back to their senses.
"Now that you think of it..."
"Our Queen Dragon is right! In the face of our true ability, he won"t stand a chance!"
"Let"s do it!"
And without hesitations, the Dragons of the northern region started to emit a freezing aura; they are switching to ice and water-based attack! Leah saw them and was about to stop her members, but before she could do, her members had already launched their own individual attacks!
"Wait you fools!~" Leah tried to call her people but unfortunately, they were just too dumb and excited to unleash a barrage of ice and water attacks. She was about to suggest a change to the plan applying the different innate elemental properties, but before she could even finish her speech, her ignorant and excited members just started blowing on their own.
"Take this!"
BWAAAAHHH!~
"Freeze to death!"
SHAAAAAAAAH!~
BWAAAAAAH~
SHAAAAAH!~
All their ice and water-based attacks poured down towards Elric from almost all directions. The other Dragons watched with a little antic.i.p.ation, while Leah was quickly contacting the other Dragon Kings of their next move.
With sharp eyes and advanced thinking, she could already tell that the attack of her members will just fail.
And as expected, Elric flexibly swung his flaming sword and unleashed a slash that sent deadly heatwaves in an arc form, melting the ice attacks along the way and creating ma.s.sive steam upon contact with the water-based Dragon skills.
In an instant, the whole place was surrounded in hot steam caused by the sudden contact of fire and water attacks.
Unfortunately for them, Elric"s attack did not just end there. With another quick follow up, he sent more deadly flaming arcs towards the Dragon surrounding him from all directions. At the same time, a sinister smile crept out of his mouth.
KSSSSH~FWOOOOOOOs.h.!.+~
His bright flaming sword suddenly changed its color from bright orange to deep blue!
FWOOOOs.h.!.+~
FWOOOOs.h.!.+~
FWOOOOs.h.!.+~
Like a mad sun, Elric sent down rains of the blue flaming arc that brought forth destructions Dragon could not contend against. They may be Dragons with a natural affinity with fire, but the one that Elric wields has an absolute destructive ability as it suddenly switched from bright orange to the destructive and purifying blue fire!
"Blue fire!?"
"F*ck!"
BOOOOM!
CRAAAs.h.!.+~
WHAAAM!~
All the Dragons in range scrambled the moment Elric started his retaliation. They tried their best to defend, evade, and some even countered attack only to no avail. In an instant, hundreds of Dragons especially from the Northern regions had fallen from Elric"s merciless attack.
AAAACKGGH!~
GRUUGGGH!~
WAAAAAHHKKG!~
The power of the Blue fire is basically the power of purification and true destruction. Unfortunately for them, aside from the natural fire Elementals, only those who have touched the realm of the Ancestral Dragon level has access to the purifying blue fire.
In terms of sheer destructiveness and heat, their bright red, orange, and yellow fire are easily subdued by the blue one, giving them no choice but to avoid or defend against Elric"s attack.
Those Dragons who managed to survive had extraordinary resilience and defensive ability. There are also those who relied on their natural element while some used a defensive artifact crafted by their best crafter of their own regions.
With hundreds of thousands of years on their backing, although with some unwillingness, the Dragons have learned to use the artifact. But they hope not to depend on using it all the time since they value their own natural strength the most.
With gritting teeth, Leah suddenly bellowed.
"NOW!~"
SWOOOOOs.h.!.+~
Elric was still in the middle of his attack when he felt a dangerous chill coming from his side. In the nick of time, Elric decisively halted his attacks midway and turned to his sides with his own counter slas.h.!.+
WHIIIISHK~
SLAAAs.h.!.+~
AAGHK!~
OUGGH!~
ARGH!~
Leaving behind a sonic boom, three invisible Dragons of the Southern Region were quickly cut by Elric"s flaming sword. However, they actually managed to put a large gaping wound in one of his wings!
Everything happened too quickly, if only Elric did not move his body, he would have lost his neck seconds ago! It was an attack that was almost impossible to evade!
The three invisible Southern Dragons were in a certain formation that resembled a spiral missile.
They first fly incredibly high and far from Elric in order to build enough momentum, while their arms extended and grew into what looked like a sharp long blade. Then, the three of them will coil into each other like a blade meeting another two blades to create a three-bladed missile with their bodies locked to each other and their tails and wings serving as a fin. The blade front also formed spiraling edges that allowed them to spin while moving.
The reason that there were three of them is that the weight and the extra pus.h.i.+ng power generated by two other Dragons will increase their solidity and penetrating power. Using their blending ability they managed to hide their presence, giving their enemy almost no time to react at all.
Fortunately for Elric, his extraordinary instinct and powerful soul ability allowed him to see what normal dragon eyes could not see.
From the looks of it, they all seemed like a well-organized unit despite the differences. Quickly his eyes, moved to a certain direction, locating Leah"s figure seemingly busy communicating with the other Dragon Kings.
"Found you.." Elric was just about to head towards Leah to deal with her when another sonic boom clapped him from above.
BOOOOOOM!~
SLAAAAs.h.!.+
AGHGGK!~
IUGGH!~
WAAAGH!
With a sidestep, Elric managed to avoid another sonic attack from the Southern Dragons, not forgetting to finish them in one good hack, leaving them burning as they continued diving to the ground with burning divided bodies.
BOOOOOOM!~SLAAAAs.h.!.+
IUGGH!~
WAAAGH!
AGHGGK!~
Another group has fallen in Elric"s sword. Then finally Elric stopped, his warning signals bellowing wildly in his head. He instinctively looked above and saw what seemed like a wide dark cloud.
His eyes squeezed to focus towards the dark cloud only to finally realize what it really was. Tens of thousands of Southern Dragons are coiling with each other to form the same spiral missile formation before they suddenly disappear with a blending skill.
SWOOOs.h.!.+
SWOOOs.h.!.+
SWOOOs.h.!.+~
The next second, around fifty more invisible spiral bladed missiles, came down and made Elric dance in evasion. His mind might be fast enough to see them but his sheer body size was finally getting in his way of trying to avoid them.
He may have successfully avoided nine out of ten attacks, but considering their sheer numbers, he could not help but get hit not just once, but twice and thrice!
Thank"s to his impressive recovery ability, Elric managed to close his wounds in less than two seconds! It is also worth noting that he is more focused on avoiding attacks that will greatly impede his movement and senses.
From the distance, Elric looked like a mad Dragon fighting a horde of invisible killer black wasps! Burning them with a blue flaming sword as if it was a torch!
The King and Queen Dragons watched with gritted teeth as they watched their subordinates fall unhesitantly under Elric"s flaming sword. But as King and Queen Dragons, these are necessary sacrifices to their ultimate plan.
Since they have already started it, they might as well just end it hoping to claim Elric"s most wanted body and essence as reward. If they could just finish Elric and harvest his meat and essence, imagine the benefits it would help the King and Queen Dragons.
Right now, what they really want is not the deal of acquiring the Eastern Region if they killed the last Eastern Dragons, What they wanted is Elric!
If they could have his essence, breaking through the Ancestral level will be within their grasp! Who cares about some measly Eastern dragons if their dreamed power is finally within their reach!
