Evil

Battle

"Breath of Flames."

I opened my jaw as I rapidly ascended the skies, a powerful flap flattening many boats as my kills racked up quickly. Within my mouth, a gigantic ball of fire had formed.

This was a dragon's signature attack. The Dragon's Breath imprint was merely a weakened replica but this? This was the real deal.

FOOOOOOSH!

The beam of fire let loose like a savage beast, sending the two rank 10s who chased after me fleeing as my flames devoured several ships and killed thousands of soldiers.

"Judgement of Empyrean!" Xavier hollered, a ray of light forming as his sword sent a golden coloured phantom blade out.

I defended with my hand, as I let off another blast wantonly. I was knocked back as little bit of my plated scales cracked.

"REAPER'S SCYTHE!" Lorentio followed up with a devastating strike which split the ocean momentarily as the scythe stabbed into a weak spot between the scales, making my growl out as I sent him flying back. The scythe formed back in his hands as an insane smile from ear to ear formed on his face,"OH MY! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! SUCH STRENGTH! COME! I WANT TO FEEL MORE!"

"Lord of Light, propel me!" More light cracked through the cloak of darkness that was the night, shining upon Xavier as millions of water droplets formed around me,"GO!"

The droplets shot towards me faster than bullets as I wrapped the wings around my body, defending.

Not good. If I go passive, they'll combo chain me to death for sure. I need to get more aggressive!

"Crimson Moonlight." The claws on my wings sent mana crashing upwards as the moon was dyed a deep crimson, vermillion light falling from the skies, this torrential rain of bloody light dyed waters red, several rank 8 and 9 beasts forming from the mixture of bloody light and water, a mutation of aqua regia.

"THE LORD HAS SUMMONED US!" Numerous voices called out as several blueish-red dragons, some at rank 8, some at 9 shot to the skies to support me as I let out another breath of fire.

"Holy Reckoning!" Xavier yelled out with conviction, a gigantic golden sword radiating sanctified white light forming as the red moonlight seemed to be repelled by this brilliance,"Beast, you must be slain! Guardians of Light, assist this lord!" The sanctified light cut through the moonlight, forming fewer but more powerful rank 9 angels which battled to the death against mine. A fight between high quality and sheer quantity.

"Devil's Sacrifice! HAAAAAAAA!" In an instant, the madman named Lorentio stabbed himself with his scythe, a flurry of blood spurting out as innumerable sigils appeared on his body,"HAHAHAHA! MORE! MORE PAIN! MORE DEATH! MORE POWER! GIVE ME MORE POWERRRR!" His scythe crashed into my fist, sending me crashing down into the oceans despite my best efforts to defend, causing several gargantuan waves to form as I let out another roar underwater, bubbles floating up. Against two rank 10s, even I was suppressed a little.

My arms were very much sore, several plated scales cracked under those attacks as that gigantic sword of Xavier's was sent barrelling towards me at an unholy speed and was just barely stopped by my arms which clamped down on the weapon's body, preventing it from piercing my chest. However, this allowed Lorentio to unleash a flurry of attacks and spells on me, black ichor dripping from my wounds as fury rose within me.

"Ruination!" I called out. At my spell, the angels screamed in agony, wilting away and turning back to light, the golden sword showing signs of crumbling, the golden light dimming rapidly. Xavier's armour grew translucent, his grim and pale face visible. He was breathing heavily, just barely managing to stay afloat.
