Infinitum Crystals - Conquest of Virtue [4]

Chapter 6.17 - White - AIs & Dragons

Azreal's eyes were no longer his. Azreal has accepted the dragon that was laid dormant deep inside his soul. The dragon that goes by the name, Sepulchre has granted Azreal some of its power. Azreal started giving out a strong black aura all over his body. His hair has started to risen. His arms is protected by a miniaturized skeletal dragon arms.

"So he's around the same level as I am..." I was referring to the last time I tried to use my own dragon powers.

Zenith then shakes her head and told me, "Not really, White. He mentioned Sepulchre. That's like a place to bury something. Like a crypt. I think it's not just any dragon. But a dracolich."

"A dracolich...that...kinda fits him." I agreed.

A dracolich is basically an undead skeletal dragon. It has no muscle or skin. Just the bones. Where are its internal organs? Nobody knows. Dracolich is like an entirely different abomination that people like necromancers would make. However, I can't really discern whether or not that's the case for this dragon. We still don't know much about these magnificent creature and now we are witnessing the power of an undead ancient dragon.

It looks like even his legs are now covered with dracolich's bones. Scratch that, his entire body was covered by dracolich bones. The only offset to this is that the 'armor' doesn't force him to walk on all four but it has modified itself so that it would be in humanoid form. That's a pretty nice detail to accommodate its user.

With all have been said and done, Azreal lunges himself toward Error. Azreal used his draconic arm to try and scratch him with it. But Error immediately blocks it with a shield of his own that suddenly appeared from his arm.

"What the...I didn't see that shield before. Where did he hide it?" I wondered.

With his right hand busy blocking the claw, Error's left hand suddenly rumbled as a metallic-like thing started to grow and transform into a sword.

"Is that like...nanomachines or something?" Zenith makes a guest. "How is he able to obtain something like that?"

"It maybe has some kind of relation to his unique magic that we don't know yet." I told her.

The sword then attacked Azreal as he was swung few meters away from Error. Azreal shakes his head and regained his composure but Error was relentless as he continues attack Azreal with his sword and shield combination. Azreal blocks all of Error's attack that was a mix between slashes and bashes from his sword and shield. Error throws his shield to the air, distracting Azreal as he focused on the shield. Error took the opportunity to kick Azreal right at his stomach and then used the non lethal part of his sword on Azreal's protected face.

Azreal was able to endure the damage thanks to the dragon bones protecting him but Error won't give him any chances. Error was proficient in his fighting maneuver. It was almost like someone has teach him how to do martial arts of some kind. Not letting up, Azreal roared as loud as he could, distracting Error for a moment. To which Azreal then did a leg sweep to Error. Error falls down to the ground as Azreal tries to crush him with his claws. But the claw was immediately guarded by a larger shield this time. The sword and shield was gone and replaced by that larger shield.

"If it is nanomachine...does it mean he can create anything with it?" I asked Zenith.

"Seems like that's the case."

I pointed out, "And it looks like hand to hand combat is going to be a lot tougher against him. Unlike the other champions this one knows how to fight."

Azreal and Error got back up as they stared at each other awaiting for their next move.

"This ends now!" Azreal shouted.
