Epic of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System - Chapter 2393: Clash Of Venerables II [29]
Chapter 2393: Clash Of Venerables II [29]
—–
“You can’t hope to consume the soul of a primordial such as myself, you foolish demon.”
Drake’s voice changed. He sounded much more intimidating, overflowing with an aura of wisdom, ancientness, and greatness above all other things…
“A mere taste has you like this. Could you ever imagine trying to take more than a bite? You wouldn’t even be here!”
“G-GET AWAY!!!”
Hajun released several seals at once, screaming as his weakened, freezing body erupted with power. The ice shattered into pieces and his body quickly mutated.
“{Twelve Accursed Karmic Seal Release}: {Fifth and Sixth Seals: White Demon King Form}”
“{Twelve Accursed Karmic Seal Release}: {Seventh and Eighth Seals: Green Demon King Form}”
“{Twelve Accursed Karmic Seal Release}: {Ninth and Tenth Seals: Beast Demon King Form}”
“{Twelve Accursed Karmic Seal Release}: {Eleventh and Twelfth Seals: Heavenly Demon King Form}!!!”
All four transformations piled up together, his body splitting into four different demons, surprising Drake. One was completely white, with silver hair and a thin complexion. Another was green and fat, releasing noxious, poisonous gases. The third was a giant hybrid beast form, covered in fur with the heads of a boar, a wolf, and a bear. The last resembled his base form, but taller, more muscular, with golden horns and blonde hair.
“RAAAAAHHHH!”
All four attacked Drake at the same time, striking him from the front, left, right, and behind. Drake swiftly released his aura, holding both swords as his powers began to manifest further.
He decided to try something new this time…
“{Primordial Dragon King’s Draconic Soul Spirit Summon}!”
Three dragon soul spirits emerged from his aura: a green wind dragon, a red fire dragon, and a pink moonlight dragon.
They glowed with immense power, turning real and coiling around Drake’s arms and sword.
“{Wind Dragon’s Celestial Storm}!”
FLUOOOSH!
In that moment, half of Drake’s body changed appearance. His hair gained green, yellow, blue, and red feathers like those of Wind Dragons. Feathers also grew around his left arm and leg, while emerald armor decorated half of his robes and body, and a green horn grew from that side of his head.
An explosion of celestial winds followed, throwing Hajun’s four bodies away in a split second, pushing them back with overwhelming pressure that twisted and warped space!
“W-WHA…?!”
“WINDS?!”
“MERE WINDS?!”
“IMPOSSIBLE!”
Hajun roared with all four bodies as they pushed through the wind together, though the Celestial Winds rapidly cut into them, constantly rotating around Drake with immense power and authority.
This was the Wind Dragon’s legacy, their bloodline and the power he inherited from them, especially from their strongest member, Emerald.
But Drake was nowhere near done. His other half turned fiery red, his hair becoming crimson, and his horns crystalline orange. Red, orange, and gold scales covered his arm and leg, while crimson armor appeared.
“{Fire Dragon’s Infernal Apocalypse}!”
An explosion of flames erupted from his body, shaped like countless fire dragon souls. They bombarded Hajun’s body and soul relentlessly, explosions reverberating through the entire hell of Zipangu, tearing apart its dimensional pillars as space began to shatter.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
“NGAAAAHHHH!”
Hajun screamed in agony, his bodies burning. His white demon king body unleashed shockwaves of empty energy and cold light, only to be consumed by the flames. He barely survived as the other three burned and pushed him back.
But Drake wasn’t done yet. His body transformed a third time, the power of the Moonlight Dragons resonating within him. Part of his hair became pinkish silver, while his armor gained the same hue, decorated with moon-shaped mirrors.
Moonlight and starlight surged from his body, spreading everywhere as Drake’s surroundings warped into three domains turned into abilities: eternally swirling celestial winds, endlessly exploding fire dragon soul spirits, and glowing moon-shaped mirrors.
“{Moonlight Dragon’s Rotating Moon Phase}!”
The mirrors, each being a compressed pocket dominion, rotated around Drake’s body. They reflected all of Hajun’s attacks. His magic and weapon techniques were instantly countered and sent back, exploding against his faces.
Crack, crack…!
CRASH!
The damage was severe. Naraka trembled and cracked apart, space and time shattering, dragging Drake and Hajun into another world as they fell from dark skies. It didn’t take long for Drake to realize where they were.
“Zipangu?!”
Drake looked down. Enormous, beautiful mountains, vast blue seas, and many island nations surrounding the mainland continent. Cherry blossom forests and snow-covered peaks filled his view, alongside active volcanoes and hot springs.
Yet much of it was desolate, desert-like, covered in black ash, burning forests, and flames. Giant craters across the land revealed this place had suffered the wrath of the gods.
“DO YOU LIKE IT?! THIS IS MY WORLD! THE WORLD I CREATED WITH MY OWN HANDS! AMATERASU IS GONE, I KILLED HER, AND THIS WORLD IS MINE! ITS LAWS, ITS ESSENCE, ALL MINE!”
Hajun laughed as he floated in midair, rivers of Heaven and Earth Essence flowing into his bodies. As all four rushed together, Drake tried to stop him but was a second too late. The Demon King merged all four into a single golden form, overflowing with divine and demonic power.
“YOU WILL MEET YOUR END HERE, FAR AWAY FROM YOUR HOME, DRAGON KING!”
“No, I would say it’s the opposite. You’re going to die here, Hajun. Oh, and about Amaterasu? I have bad news for you.”
FLAAASH!
“HUH?!”
Drake’s aura suddenly turned golden and then red, fiery sunrays piercing the dark skies and clearing them completely, revealing a beautiful blue sky. The sun, once hidden within dark clouds, shone brightly above Zipangu.
“Hear my call, Solar Empress!”
From within Drake’s aura, the figure of a glorious, divine, regal Empress manifested. Her glowing red eyes and porcelain-white face radiated elegance and magnificence.
It was her. Hajun instantly recognized her, despite how different she looked…
“A-AMATERASU?!”
The Archetype glared at Hajun with glowing red eyes, her aura surging, resembling a radiant sun behind her back.
Yuki and Yudra were not the only ones who could summon her power. As the creator of the Archetype Bonds, Drake gained access to every Archetype born from them.
And so, he summoned her here, for one final showdown against the one who had brought so much pain and suffering to her world.
“Long time no see, Hajun.”
