Chapter 116: Giant Hand
“Underworld.”
The next moment, the two were locked together inside a cube filled with darkness and Death Mana.
The darkness covered them in an area of several square meters.
“What is this? It’s like…,” the holy dragon remembered, his reptilian eyes shrinking, dilating in surprise. “This is one of the techniques of the Death Dragons race,” he said in surprise.
Instead, Theos just listened to what he said, but for now, he didn’t pay the slightest attention to it. Instead, he moved and flew upwards.
He watched everything from above, like a superior being. But his thoughts were elsewhere. ‘Hopefully, they will advance upwards, and no dragon will interrupt them,’ Theos wished.
He is a realist. He knew more than anyone that the creature in front of him, a holy dragon entirely of light, was no match in the slightest.
However, he activated his ability, Underworld, to buy more time. The physical enhancements that the ability gave him, along with the fact that it weakened the enemy, is a perfect ability to waste the enemy’s time.
Without adding that it is an enclosed space.
According to Theos’ calculations, even though the creature in front of him is in Supreme range, thanks to being inside the Underworld, its power is weakened, and he is boosted.
And the best part is not only that enhancement …
“Let’s go all out at once,” Theos muttered, waving his hands to give an order.
Darkness itself responded to Theos’ command. Hands of darkness formed and traveled from all directions to cover the Dragon’s body.
Because of the dragon’s initial surprise and the same weakening from being in the “Underworld”, the Sacred Dragon could do nothing to dodge the thousands of hands that surrounded him.
Theos wasted no time at all. Taking advantage of providing the “Underworld,” and for the first time since the time, he ate the Vampire Heart, he became a vampire.
The left eye glowed more intensely in a crimson color, at the same time as Theos’ fingernails turned into dangerous and fearsome claws.
His overall physical strength and power increased drastically, practically surpassing the power of a normal, ordinary Master.
By the various Buff, Path, the Underworld, and now with his new race… From Master rank, he possibly passed to Grand Master rank in pure power.
However, the opponent in front of him was still a Supreme rank, albeit weakened.
“GRRR,” within the thousands of dark hands that covered him, the Dragon roared violently, recovering from his initial show.
Theos, with the Death Shard on his right, raised his wings, flying at such a high speed towards the dragon that it was like seeing several reflections of it.
Thanks to the gravity of plummeting, its speed and power increased as if a meteorite were falling.
Quickly the dragon freed itself from all hands, watching as Theos plummeted. To stop the danger, the great dragon released an even brighter light.
This image reminded Theos of something… A certain Vampire King who broke his Dominion with a single skill.
Faced with a Supreme rank, wouldn’t it be easier to break the Underworld?
Theos’ goals were clear: buy enough time for Luna. He didn’t care about winning now.
Remembering this, Theos gave another order, a thousand hands went to block the dragon’s destructive attack.
But unlike the previous time, Theos used a large amount of negative Mana to create barriers everywhere.
“Do you think that will stop me?” asked the Holy Dragon.
Theos did not answer but smiled while multiple beams of negative energy shot out from his auras.
The intention was clear.
The dragon made an explosion of golden light; the multiple hands tried to stop it but were instantly pulverized.
Theos’ aura became denser and more concentrated, consequently, the rays of negative energy in the surroundings became just as concentrated and powerful.
*Boom!*
All the rays of negative energy impacted with the great radiance of the dragon’s light, the power was such that there was a great shock wave that made Theos retreat several meters.
However, to the surprise of Theos himself, the negative energy beams had an intense fight with the dragon’s light.
Why was it all? Theos wondered. Soon, a smile appeared on his face as he remembered the information from the novel…
With renewed confidence, Theos flew again, this time directly toward the golden dragon or, rather, the intense light that covered it.
Controlling the surrounding darkness, Theos performed a command with his hands. Quickly a giant hand formed under this command, but not just any giant hand, low besides being made of darkness, it also had another… Crimson lines all over it.
Yes, Theos had injected negative Mana into the giant hand to make it more powerful.
“Go,” Theos muttered, making another command with his hands which the giant hand quickly carried out.
Heading at high speed towards the dragon, a speed that easily surpassed the speed of sound, you couldn’t even see anything when the hand was in front of the intense light, and the next moment…
*crack*
As if the light itself was a crystal, the hand crushed it and shattered it into millions of pieces.
“Huh?” the dragon gasped in surprise, even Theos watched all this with shock.
But the smile never left his face.
“That’s all a Dragon Supreme rank has?”, Theos asked in a mocking voice.
The intention of this was to provoke the dragon’s anger and rage, thus making himself more powerful and making the dragon more irrational.
Rationality and logic in a battle of high magnitude are very important; losing it means a defeat, no matter if the opponent is only slightly.
Of course, the difference between Theos and his enemy is not a “slight difference”, but huge.
But so what? Theos had only one goal now: to support his beloved, and if that was buying time, he would do it against the creature in front of him, which he could consider one of the powers of the human world.
