Chapter 880: Dragon Rage.
Nightingale, WarFall, Castle of Clan Adrastella.
A few minutes before Victor disappeared, the General responsible for the defense of WarFall, Scathach, was having a meeting with Rose, Eleonor, Ariel, and the Valkyries.
“How many enemies do we have?”
“Thousands, hundreds of thousands. And they are all from the Behemoth Class onwards. Even the boys we are used to fighting are much stronger than usual.” Judy, the Valkyrie scout, replied.
“Hmm… Ariel, did you find out how these monsters are being made?”
“No, I flew the entire territory with Lady Juliet except for where The Elder Gods are, and we couldn’t find anything.”
Scathach narrowed her eyes in annoyance. “Fighting an immortal army without vital information is a recipe for disaster. It can’t stay like this-.”
BOOOOOOOOOM!
A rumble came from the distance, and everyone could feel Victor’s overwhelming pressure and the next moment, everything was illuminated as if the sun had just risen.
Which was impossible as Nightingale was a strange place where the moon itself had light even though it was not reflecting any star; that is, this light was not natural.
They looked out the window and saw the fireball in the sky, and suddenly, they saw everything that was hidden in the shadows.
“… This… Were these Beings in front of us the entire time?” Rose asked in disbelief. How did she not see this with her new Draconic Senses?
Scathach also felt surprised, but unlike Rose, she got over it quickly; she always knew not to rely too much on just one’s senses.
There were always Beings out there that could deceive your senses. A good example of this was Nyx herself, who, with Victor’s help, became the perfect assassin.
‘Speaking of Nyx, where is that woman?’ Scathach thought. She should have already returned with new information.
As soon as Scathach thought this, starry darkness fell into the room, and Nyx appeared. “I have a report.”
“You’re finally back,” Scathach spoke. “What did you discover?”
“Bad things… These monsters were apparently made by various facilities scattered around. I destroyed these facilities, but… they continue to be created.” Nyx removed an Orb from a starry-night-looking crevice and showed everyone the images she’d discovered.
“Which means they are not being created artificially, but rather by a Being,” Rose added.
“Specifically, an Elder God,” Nyx spoke while pointing at the Being in the distance; the specific Being she was pointing at was an Elder God with holes in its body.
It was at this moment that earthquakes began to happen. The Elder Gods were on the move, and the words of The Elder Gods resounded all around them.
Listening to what Shiva said, the faces of Rose, Eleonor, Dorothy, Alexa, Martha, Juliet, Judy, and Anrietha were completely contorted in anger.
The anger of Rose, a real Dragon and a Grandmaster in Martial Arts, made the atmosphere completely suffocating for everyone present.
Although Eleonor’s anger was not lost on her. After all, she was also the one most affected by those words because it was her ancestors who suffered from it.
“That’s it, I won’t hold back any longer.” Eleonor turned and started to walk towards the exit, but she stopped when she heard another loud bang, and the atmosphere darkened and lightened again.
“Their fight is changing the whole atmosphere. This is getting dangerous.” Scathach spoke. “Send the soldiers back-.” When she was about to give an order to the Valkyries, she stopped talking.
Not just them, they all stopped talking, and everyone present opened their eyes wide as Victor’s presence completely disappeared as if it never existed. Even with their personal connections as Dragons and Lovers, they couldn’t feel him.
“Darling/Victor!?”
And this caused immediate anger among all the Wives present. Now, a woman’s rage was bad enough, then add a female Dragon’s rage into the mix, and everything became exponentially worse.
Despite believing in Victor and in his strength, they still didn’t like not being able to ‘feel’ their loved one. Normally, no matter the distance, they could always feel him nearby. When that didn’t happen, it made them incredibly nervous.
“TELL EVERYONE TO GET BACK NOW!” Scathach ordered the Valkyries.
“Y-Yes!” The Valkyries left immediately to carry out orders, but she didn’t even need to. With the volume of the roar that was Scathach’s words, everyone in WarFall heard what she said.
But even so, they fulfilled the request. Why? The reason was simple: Scathach never yelled at anyone. She didn’t do that; she only did that when she was truly furious, and by God, everyone knew that no one wanted to stand in front of Scathach when she was angry.
Eleonor didn’t waste any more time as she transformed into her Awakened Form and flew towards the mountains.
“My Ancestors!” She stamped her foot on the ground, causing tremors throughout the mountain structures.
“The promised day has arrived! Today is the day we will exterminate our enemies! Today is the day of revenge!” She clapped her palms together, the mountains beginning to shake even more. Rocks began to fall, and earthquakes and landslides occurred over a distance of more than 10,000 km.
“Creation!” She slammed her hand on the ground, causing even more rumbles around her.
Earthquakes began to occur around the mountains, causing everything to be destroyed, but Eleonor didn’t care. Anger burned inside her, anger at Shiva’s words, and anger at them having made her stop feeling her loved one.
Eleonor raised her hands, and a Greatsword made of stones was created. She took the sword and pointed it forward at the thousands of monsters that were attacking her city.
“Clan Adrastella’s revenge of the fallen begins today.”
BOOOOOOOM!
Thousands of fists of earth shot out from the mountains, and then, like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon, the creatures within the mountains began to rise up.
“By Odin’s beard, what is this?” Thor commented in disbelief as he spammed Lightning at the immortal creatures.
“Stone giants…? But the amount of Energy inside them is insane.” Loki muttered as he stood with his arms crossed near a tree.
Thor narrowed his eyes. “Aren’t you going to fight, Loki?”
“I am a Trickster God, not a muscle head, Thor. I have my ways of fighting.” Loki spoke as he disappeared like an illusion.
Thor snorted as he saw those giant Beings raising themselves, forming a frightening line of defense, as the entire mountain that divided the territory of the Adrastella Clan disappeared and turned into these giant creatures.
Eleonor flew towards the sky, her body glowing with green flames. She pointed her finger at the sky, and the next moment, a funnel of Green Fire that started pulling in several creatures appeared, killing hundreds of monsters in the process.
Then, she pointed the stone Greatsword at the monsters and spoke:
“Kill them all.”
A deafening roar created by hundreds of giant stone Beings was heard, and then, demonstrating feats that should not come from animated stone Beings, the giants jumped onto the battlefield, killing everything that moved.
“That woman is scary…” Thor muttered.
ROOOOOOOOOAR!
Another roar was heard in the distance, and as Thor looked towards it, he saw Scathach roaring a powerful breath made of Ice and Fire that froze and incinerated at the same time.
The woman then flew to the ground, and wherever she stepped, everything in the 5 km radius that was hostile was frozen. Then, Ice Constructs began to be created: Ice Dragons, Ice Soldiers, and Ice Beasts.
Scathach was using her strongest Technique, and unlike before, this Technique had Evolved. Due to being a Dragon, she could control this Technique much better and even apply other Elements in her Creations.
Before Thor could comment anything, he felt a chill run down his spine as another Dragon roar was heard, and a Dragon over 100 meters tall appeared on the horizon.
The violet-eyed Dragon looked at these annoying monsters and began their own berserking rampage as their body exuded Miasma, their breath made of pure Destructive Energy.
Zaladrac was very angry now. In fact, she had always been angry since Victor didn’t call her when she wanted to help in the past, and now the same situation had happened. She couldn’t bear this feeling inside anymore.
Dragons were not Beings known for their patience, so she blasted everything she had at these monsters.
She roared, releasing all her Energy in the form of a powerful breath that created a straight line of pure Destruction.
BOOOOOOOOOOM!
She wasn’t the only one. Morgana flew with her body covered in Radiation and passed through all the monsters while beams of red light shot out of her eyes and burned everything around. She opened her hands, and pure Radiation came out in the form of powerful beams of light.
Out of everyone present, she had the most offensive Power, and she was demonstrating it clearly now. She stopped throwing beams of Power and clenched her fist.
A small ball of Green Energy with shades of yellow began to be created in her hand, and she threw it towards the creatures in the distance.
“DIE!”
BOOOOOOOOOM!
A giant mushroom cloud appeared in the distance. That attack was pure Nuclear Energy, but unlike those made by Humans, this Energy was purer and would not poison the planet.
“DIE!”
“DIE!”
“DIE!”
“You fucking bastards, die!” She created 20 more of these little balls and threw them into the distance.
Several mushroom-shaped explosion clouds appeared on the horizon, causing chills in Thor, the Angels, and the Gods present who were observing this destruction.
Rose ran across the battlefield, brandishing her sword and killing everything that moved. When she felt she was far enough away, she stopped running.
The Power she gained by becoming a Dragon was something simple: the ability to control the land that the heirs of Adrastella Clan were capable of, but that was not the important point; she was never a woman who focused on Power but on Martial Arts.
Therefore, when she became a Dragon, this way of thinking unconsciously influenced her and created something terrible.
She took the sword and placed it in front of her. “I lived by the sword… I suffered from the sword. I fought for the sword… So that in the end… I became the sword itself.”
Rose let go of the sword, and as the blade fell to the ground, all the monsters and the land around her were cut into thousands of pieces.
“My body is imbued and forged by the blade of the sword.” Rose opened her palm and swung her arm in a diagonal cutting motion.
A gigantic gash was created, cutting off everything in front of her.
“My Soul is so fine, so sharp, that it is capable of cutting even the invisible.” She made another horizontal hand gesture, and everything around her was bisected.
Unlike before, no monsters regenerated anymore, as she jumped towards another group of monsters and slammed to the ground.
“I no longer need a sword in my hand… Because my very existence has become my sword.” A translucent White Power that came from her own Soul began to focus in her hand until a sword similar to the one she used was created.
Just like Scathach, Rose was on the threshold of surpassing the level of Grandmaster, about to reach an entirely new realm of Martial Arts.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that in terms of Martial Arts, she was ahead of Scathach. After all, while Scathach focused on several Martial Arts, Rose dedicated all her time to her sword.
For a Being like this, a simple cut can become something that eviscerates mountains.
Rose was at the absolute peak of what was considered swordsmanship.
And all of this was possible because she became a Dragon. Even as a several-century-old Noble Vampire, her body hadn’t been strong enough to become a ‘weapon’ like a Dragon’s body.
Rose jumped into the middle of another group of monsters and cut around her in a circle, splitting all of them in half. “No one will come out alive… You will return my Husband, you bastards.” She looked at The Elder Gods, and then she looked towards Jeanne, who passed by her.
Jeanne flew towards the flying monsters and The Messengers of The Gods.
The closer she got to these Beings, the more Wind gathered around her. Landing in front of these Beings, she caught a Messenger by the neck.
“You know…? Of all my beloved Husband’s Wives, I am the slowest to anger.” She spoke sweetly with a gentle smile on her face, so sweet, so pure that it sent chills throughout the Messenger’s entire existence.
Her face changed to serious, and kindness was no longer seen. “But today…” She squeezed his head until it squished like a watermelon: “You’ve managed to irritate me.”
FUSHHHHHHH.
The Wind exploded from her body, claiming the lives of everyone present, and then, with Jeanne at the center, a gigantic hurricane was created.
“And you will pay for it.”
She stood up and made a gesture of lowering her hand to the ground, and in the next moment, more than 200 smaller tornadoes spread throughout the battlefield, causing even more damage and chaos.
Everything that entered the hurricane was cut into thousands of pieces, leaving nothing to exist.
An important detail is that, despite all this chaos, no attack was hitting any of the women. They didn’t seem like it, but they were working harmoniously.
These women were showing why Dragons were considered natural disasters, as such occurrences could only be easily caused by these Beings.
And when they came together and worked so unitedly… This kind of spectacle was possible.
“…Yes, we made the right choice in uniting against them.” Azrael, The Archangel of Death, muttered.
The Gods and Ariel could not help but agree with The Angel of Death.
“Do we really need to be here?” Thor muttered. “They can solve everything themselves.”
“We don’t. It was obvious from the beginning that they had enough Power to resolve this situation alone, but we need to be here to make our intention of alliance clear.” Loki snuck in as he spoke.
“I don’t know about you, but I don’t want that group of angry True Dragons coming after me, no thank you. I value my life very much, and I’d like to have peaceful nights free of paranoia.”
ROOOOOOOAR!
The group of Gods and Angels looked at Zaladrac, who sent off even more powerful breaths than before that annihilated thousands of Beings, causing multitudes of explosions of nuclear proportions.
“…How has the damn planet not exploded yet? I mean, look at this. It feels like I’m watching an apocalyptic event or something.” Thor asked.
“Dragon attacks, despite being destructive, do not harm the planet. After all, they are Beings of Nature; therefore, the damage is only external, not internal.” Cernunnus responded. As The God of Animals, he was the one who had the most opportunity to speak here on this subject, considering that it directly affected him as someone who was linked to Nature.
Before anyone could say anything, a change occurred in the fight between The Elder Gods and the Elites of their group.
The Gods and Angels looked in that direction and saw that one of The Elder Gods had been completely erased from existence by Shiva…
He was utterly destroyed without leaving a single atom behind.
