Dragon Maken War - Chapter 152

Chapter 152

Chapter 152 - Dogfight (3)

“They’ve been gathering them for the past 220 years . ”

Laura answered him .

“Of course, they would have a lot . ”

“Mmm…… . ”

The party groaned .

Dragon weapons were being summon in succession .  Their enemies had already summoned nine Dragon weapons .  

It was inevitable .  

The Plain of Darkness severed the succession of Dragon weapons in the outside world, yet they continued to create Dragon weapons .

Then there was the Dragon weapons possessed by the survivors of the Dragon Demon war .

Those that were from the Dragon Demon race used their longevity to work on their own Dragon weapons over time .  The Dragon Majins used the Dragon Slayer’s Ritual to make their Dragon weapons .  These Dragon weapons were passed onto the next generation .  Even if some were lost during battle, the number of Dragon weapons continued to grow .

There was a change that occurred on the battlefield .  

Holes started to form in the wave of Guardian Shadows .  The powerful attacks by the wielders of the Dragon weapons started to changed the tide of the battle .

Azell spoke .

“Don’t be afraid .  Dragon weapons aren’t created equal .  Not all Dragon weapons possess terrifying power such as the Soul Hammer and the Vitan’s Chalice .  The Dragon weapon possessed by Jeffers isn’t sublime .  However, it would be considered above average even during the Dragon Demon war . ”

“That is really comforting to know . ”

Leticia grumbled .  

Azell grinned .

“Then let me tell you an additional information that might soothe your mind a little bit more . Even if all the Dragon weapon users here attacked at the same time, Laura could handle them on her own . ”

“What?”

Everyone turned to look at Laura in surprise .  She accepted their gazes with a blank face as she slightly nodded her head .

“If we are talking only about defense, I can do it . ”

“…… . ”

Everyone was at a loss for words .

Then they remembered how Azell had used the Vitan’s Chalice against Reygus .  It wasn’t out of the realm of possibility .  Moreover, there was a fact that the party had overlooked… .

“The Vitan’s Chalice was a Dragon weapon made for a magician .  In truth, I was only able to bring out half its power . ”

When Azell received the Vitan’s Chalice from Laura, he had talked about this fact .  

Of course, the previous Laura hadn’t been that strong .  However, she had learned how to bring out the true power of the Vitan’s Chalice from Azell .  She was a much scarier being compared to before .

“Mmmm…… . ”

Kairen was observing the battlefield through the Magic Eye put up by Yuren .  After surveying the battlefield for a short amount of time, Kairen spoke .

“These guys…  It seems there are close to 3,000 Guardian Shadows gathered here .  It might exceed that number . ”

“There are that many?”

Leticia was surprised .  Even if the terrain caused them some trouble, there was a reason why the elites of the Dragon Demon king worshippers were struggling against the Guardian Shadows .

Kairen spoke .

“We’ll traverse the ridge on the left .  We’ll climb it diagonally to breakthrough their line .  Can you do it, Azell?”

“In this instance, I’ll have to do it even if it kills me . ”

Azell grinned .  

Laura spoke .

“I'll support you .  Don’t worry about it . ”

“I’ll leave it up to you . ”

In Azell’s current condition, he couldn’t generate the requisite speed needed to break through their line .  In the end, he had no choice, but to rely on Laura’s magic .

Azell spoke as he looked up into the sky .

“Shall I send a single blow towards them as a greeting?”

At the same time as he spoke those words, the fading darkness covering the sky parted .

-Come out Dragon Maken!

In an instant, all the Dragon Demon king worshippers on the battlefield looked up towards the sky .  From beyond the heavens, a light exploded to rip apart the darkness of daybreak .

-Sky Splitter!

An elder from the Aunsaurus tribe was a survivor of the Dragon Demon war .  The elder once again felt the fear he had felt from several hundred years ago revive within him, and he felt his body freeze .

“That cursed sword really made its appearance once again!”

It was the weapon of the devil .  It had killed their god, Dragon Demon king Atein .

However, the fear they felt overshadowed the hate they felt .  How many of their comrades were killed by that sword?

The elder’s voice shook as he shouted out his words .

“A . . . Azell Karzark is over there!  Everyone go get him!”

The current young generation had no idea how frightening an existence Azell was .  For them, Azell was the devil from a legend .  The ones that had faced him before was the only ones that  knew true fear of facing him .  

This was why the elder knew his troops would be able to fight him without being overwhelmed by the fear .  The elder was frozen as he tried to rationalize the situation .   However, his face froze again .

-Come forth Dragon weapon!  Vitan’s Chalice!

A wave Dragon Demon magic on par with the Sky Splitter spread into the surrounding .  Then the space in front of him became distorted .

“Laura!  You ungrateful traitor……!”

Kwahhhhhh!

The light let out a sound akin to a scream .  The pure white light looked like thunder, and it was coming towards him .

‘No!  I have to get out of here!  I have to break away, so I can stay hidden from him!’

In a flash, the thunderbolt burned through his defensive magic, and the inside of the elder’s head turned white .  He was paralyzed from fear .  He couldn’t even think .  Before he could respond, a Dimensional Distortion appeared next to him… . .

Gwah-roo-roong!  Ggwah-roo-roong!

The Sky Splitter, which was in a state of light, cut through the elder .

It was a direct hit .

The Magic Eye in the sky allowed Azell to lock in on the elder’s position, and the Dimensional Distortion of Vitan’s Chalice bridged the long distance between the two locations .  The Sky Splitter was sent through to hit the target .

The Sky Splitter attacked at the speed of light .  This was why it was possible to hit one’s enemy in a split second .  Of course, it was demanding to hit a target that was far away, and it was hard to lock in on one’s target .  This limitation was solved by teaming up with Laura .

Gwah-gwahng! Ggwahng! Ggwah-gwa-gwahng!

The two of them worked closely as they let out a continuous stream of attacks .  They did this as they charged towards their destination .  Sudden sneak attacks kept popping up all around the battlefield .  The Sky Splitter’s attacks disintegrated the line of the Dragon Demon king worshippers .

“This doesn’t make any sense!  Even if that is a Dragon weapon of a Dragon Demon general, how can this be possible!”

Everyone started to scream .

The fact that there were over 3,000 Guardian Shadows was a disaster in itself .  Now the Guardian Shadows were being used as shields as Azell and Laura used the legendary Dragon weapons that was famous even in the Dragon Demon war .  A nightmare occurred when the two weapons were used in concert with each other .  

When Laura was their ally, she had worked in the darkness .  So they didn’t know how scary she was .  However, now that they had to face her as an enemy they understood why the humans had feared Aunsaurus .  They felt the fear deep within their bones .

She wasn’t the only one that was terrifying .

“Dragon sword, burn the evil darkness!”

Kairen climbed to the highest point on the ridge, and his chant echoed throughout the mountain .

Kwah-kwah-kwah-kwah-kwah!

A sharp sword energy cut through the air as Kairen swung his Dragon sword . The sword energy flew horizontally as it cut through the mountain .  The mountain peak fell on top of the Dragon Demon king worshippers .

“Ahhhhhhhhhk!”

The Dragon Demon king worshippers screamed .

In such pandemonium, only one person was running .  He ran faster than the falling speed of the mountain peak .  He ran across the side of the mountain cliff to climb up the ridge .  It was a surprisingly acrobatic move, and he was able to escape the attacks of the Guardian Shadow .

“Come!  Oh, Storm!”

A swirling gale of wind swept over the party .

It was Jeffers Almarick .  He used the gale created by his Dragon weapon to restrict the party’s movement, and he aimed the blue flame crawling up his transparent blade towards a single spot .  He concentrated his attack .

The blue flame swirled into the air .

The magic flame was added into the gale as the flame was amplified .  One couldn’t breathe in such a firestorm, and it felt as if one’s body was about to be swept up into the air .  The blue magical flame kept swirling to increase its effectiveness .

However…… .

“How laughable . ”

Hwahhhhhk!

The current of cold air blew the flames  away .

The surrounding temperature quickly dropped as if it was winter .  The precipitation in the air froze to cover the mountain with snow .  Leticia’s yellow red eyes held murderous intent as she climbed up towards him .

Jeffers grinded his teeth .

“Ice Queen!”

After Leticia used Instantaneous movement to charge forward, she clashed with Jeffers .

When the sword and spear clashed against each other, a clear sound rang out .  Then the cold current and the hot gale clashed against each other .

“Leticia!”

Yuren immediately moved to support Leticia, but Jeffers hadn’t come here alone .

“Chet!  Annoying bastards!”

The magicians supported Jeffers from below as sparks detonated in the air .  It was the side effect of spells not being able to materialize .

Leticia spoke with an icy voice that was colder than the cold current created by her .

“If you just stayed silent in the corner, you might have gotten out of this alive .  It seems you are begging for your death!   However, I also am eager to put you in your grave . ”

“You speak such words even though you are the shame of our tribe!  I will kill you here to recover our honor!”

“You are a spoiled young master that is putting too much trust in your Dragon weapon .  How laughable . ”

Leticia snorted .

However, unlike her words, she didn’t plan on fighting a life and death battle with Jeffers .  Jeffers with his Dragon weapon wasn’t an easy opponent .  Moreover, the objective of the party was to break through the line of Dragon Demon king worshippers .  She would bide her time before she would escape .  She would leave behind Jeffers .

It happened at that moment .

Oooooooooooh!

Darkness started to sweep over the battlefield .

The sky had been slowly getting lighter, yet an unnatural darkness invaded the heavens .

Laura groaned when she saw this, and she mumbled a single word .

“Niberis . ”

It was as she said .

It hadn’t been long since the party had stated their battle with the intent of breaking through the line .  However, the enemies stationed in other locations had already started to trickle in one or two at a time .  One of the first ones to arrive was Niberis, who had arrived with her Book of Darkness summoned .

“The one with the name steeped in sin… .  No, the great sinner Azell Karzark . . . . ”

From the time Niberis showed up on the battlefield, the darkness started to spread like a tsunami . She spoke in a low voice, but there was authority behind it that made it hard for others to breath .

“It is hard for me to believe that you are actually him, but I am thankful for the chance to be able to recover my father’s honor .  Moreover… . . ”

A killing intent that was as cold as ice was emitted from her .

“I’ll avenge Duran’s death . ”

In a flash, everyone’s gaze was focused on Niberis .

It was because the presence she was exuding was overwhelming .  It was a stage where all kinds of Dragon weapons and high ranked magicians were showing off their powers .  However, the imposing presence she was exuding was too large as it overwhelmed their presence .

As the darkness spread into the surrounding, bizarre monsters started appearing from within the darkness .  

They were composed of darkness, so no light reflected off of them .  

One could see the barest outline within the darkness .  It was as if someone had drawn these monsters .  

The tentacles of darkness danced as they appeared from within the darkness to lash out at the Guardian Shadows .

Gwuhhhhhhhh!

From between the tentacles, large monsters rampaged .  They were made out of darkness, yet a purple flame covered them .  They were made from the pain and grudge of the dead .  The corrupted energy from these beings were used to devour corpses, and black magic was used to raise the Corrupted Bodies .

The surrounding darkness was basically a domain that was under the control of Niberis .  All kinds of curses were inflicted onto the Guardian Shadows, and she imbued more power to her familiars .

Even if Niberis was a high rank black magician with superb Dragon Demon magic, she was showing a surprising amount of control over her power .

Azell immediately saw through to the reason behind it .

“It seems you plan on avoiding your earlier mistake .  You’ve come up with a pretty clever idea . ”

“I’ll think of your words as an innocent compliment . ”

Niberis approached him .

Saibein’s Book of Darkness was also a top shelf Dragon weapon that had etched its name in the legends .  There were many spells imbued within it, and in the past, Azell had stalled a great magic called ‘Queen of Darkness’ before it could manifest .

Just the initiation of the great magic had made Kairen shudder .  This magic had the effect of explosively boosting the darkness magic of a magician .

It was such a large scale magic that it took a long time to materialize, so it had the downside of compromising one’s defense .  Azell had used this weakness to his benefit in the last fight, and Niberis didn’t plan on repeating the same mistake .

She had summoned the Book of Darkness before entering the battlefield .  She had completed the Queen of Darkness spell in preparation for this battle .
