Conquer - Chapter 213

The five dragons roared and the crowd got hyped up even more. This is the final trial that we all have to do for our quest to be completed.

“Alright let’s go!” I pulled the string of my bow with all I’ve got and loaded a single arrow on it, “Dragon Devourer Arrow!” An anti-dragon weapon. I specifically aimed at the fire dragon and shot it. Its intense speed and force managed to melt the ground as it travelled. It pierced through the fire dragon’s chest and to the other side. But its still not dead. Dragons are incredibly resilient. “Neco, Feran! Now!”

Neco rushed in and the two dragons noticed him. The Wind Dragon shot out a tornado that blasted anything in its way and the Light Dragon began to charge up a beam. “Dark Absorption!”

“Dual Dark Gate Open!” Feran with his impeccable timing, opened up a dark gate which combined with the tornado and the Light Dragon’s beam. As the dragon’s spells passed through the gates, its now imbued with dark magic.

And with this in mind… Neco absorbed the magic. Both the tornado and the beam of the light dragon and imbued it into hisdaggers. The other one was a roaring tornado of darkness and the other one was glowing with a dark purple light around it. “Annihilation Rush!” And then… he disappeared then reappeared. The elements no longer imbued in his sword. But the fire dragon behind him froze and multiple sources of straight lines appeared on the dragon’s body. It fell on the ground completely sliced up. And no one saw what he just did.

The crowd roared in laughter and in amazement. But the fight isn’t done yet. The other dragons were enraged and was ready to go. The frost dragon flew up to the sky and summoned a gigantic magic circle in the sky. It was filled with patterns of language that I don’t know. And that magic circle was like… a gate.

Frost Giants, hulking monsters which summons ice spikes. Frost Pain Elementals, a monster that has no mind but only an ice as its body, able to freeze and inflict ice damage on whoever touches them, has also an ice breath. Frost Spirits, an upgraded version of Ice Spirits, able to mimic the appearance and spells of anything it possesses. Frost Dragonlets, small versions of the Frost Dragons, less firepower but still incredibly dangerous.

The stadium got larger, around five more times. It was a much more larger battlefield and a projection of our battle was up in the sky being shown to the people. The other four dragons did the same.

The Dark Dragon opened up a purple magic circle in the sky and spawned in hundreds of monsters. Faceless, a monster that drags anything down at the ground, then leaving them there to be devoured by the Void Spiders. The Void Spiders are spiders that can pass through the ground and can create tough webs that most people wouldn’t be able to get out, they also have an incredibly ugly appearance. Chupacabra, but this time its imbued with dark magic. Its eyes were fierce and intimidating. Chupacabra monsters are practically vampires, they drink and get drunk on blood which will give them a lot of benefits. And finally… Dark Sources… a floating cube that connects its tendrils on a host and powers them up.

The Wind Dragon let out a giant tornado and as soon as it dispersed, a gigantic magic circle appeared. Wind Sylphs… monsters that empowers anything in its vicinity with wind magic and heals them. Treants, tree monsters that amplifies the defense of anything that was around it. Fairies, able to summon dangerous winds, as powerful as the Wind Dragon but can be taken down easily. And the most dangerous of them all… A single Wind Crown King. The owner of the Wind Dragon.

The Light Dragon then did the same and summoned a magic circle of its own. Holy Books, monsters that looks like a book. But in reality, they’re powerful enchanters and healers. They can cleanse most weak spells known. Holy Gladiators, a mindless, controlled army of Gladiators. In mounts, with spears, lances, sword and all varieties of weapon. An army that can feel no pain and will do everything its owner wanted. The perfect army. The Ruined Sentinels, golem monsters that can control light magic to a high degree combined with their ultimate defense. And finally, two Fallen Angels. Monsters that can resurrect as long as their master is alive. And they’re carrying two greatswords that sends out a wave of light magic every time they swing it.

We didn’t know that they had the capacity or power to do this. Last time, we tried to disable fire then head straight to the fire dragon but we got knocked out by the tornado of the Wind Dragon and then the Fire Dragon spewing fire while we couldn’t do anything. So we dropped out like that multiple times but… “We’re in a lot of trouble right now aren’t we..?” I just couldn’t believe how powerful they were. Are we really this helpless against these monsters?

“We’re going to continue to lose so I’m sick of that. I’m going all out.” Neco then began to channel a lot of mana and it created a wind to the point that we were being knocked away. “I’m tired of fighting these monsters. So I’ll go all out! Soul Transmutation!” Both of his daggers began to merge with his arms and root like darkness slowly spreading on his body. It was like a dark murky layer of darkness that resembled a thick violet poison. “Every part of me is a blade…” Spikes..? Or blades as he called it, appeared on his joints. Horns appeared from his forehead. And he got taller..? No, his feet were upright to the point that his souls were the only thing touching the ground. He took a step forward and disappeared.

“That’s insane.” Feran suddenly said out of nowhere. “Multiple layers of senses and I saw what you all saw. He just… disappeared. But at this form… I can’t sense him with anything. He has no… mana.”

The battlefield was silent. As if time has stopped itself. At this moment, we could feel Neco’s absolute terror as he rampaged throughout the battlefield. Not a single trail was left. We could only hear the sounds of steel slowly but surely going through the flesh of something. The scraping sound, the silent shrieks, metal clanging… he was just there… a ghost of death. And anything he touches… dies.

If I was at the monster’s side right now, I could only imagine the fear of heads flying everywhere while you’re there trying to find out who’s killing them. It was terrifying. Absolutely terrifying.

Neco reappeared and the armor surrounding his body was burning, especially on his feet. “I still need to practice more huh…” We were just confused on what he just said. That feat of what he just did surpassed all of us. To the point that even Feran couldn’t see it with his own buffs to himself. “I’ve left some trails. Its not enough.” As we looked on the battlefield, he only left some trails of his feet marked on the ground. Well, he was moving too fast that he literally burnt his feet due to his speed.

A second later, the monsters the dragons summoned fell on the ground. Their weapons and armor cut through, their heads were flying and just… no one… nothing was left alive. Neco keeps amazing us more and more as we continue to evolve in this place.

That’s why for me as the first member that Zieglind recruited, I won’t get surpassed. I put my Hou Yi’s bow inside of my inventory and began to change. “Overseer’s Light!” Wings grew out from my back, and an armor, forged by angels and the fire used from hell. I see and hear everything. “Bow of Heaven and Hell, a combination of good and evil. Angel Rush!” A single arrow manifested at the bow and all I had to do was pull it back once and a giant concentrated mana appeared at the tip of the arrow. And my body was screaming, telling me to let it go. And so I did. A single arrow lunged at the wind dragon.

It pierced through its defenses and lunged straight into its chest. Hundreds of angels appeared behind me and took aim. A second later, they released their arrows and headed straight at the dragon. It repeated and repeated until it was dead. “Angel Rush!” A single arrow manifested again at the bow but then I thought of something, “Rain of Arrows!” I aimed straight at the sky and the arrow split in multiple copies and fell on the dragons. Rain of Arrows lessens the damage for the arrows to split but the power of my arrows now are much stronger, able to pierce through their defenses.

Angels were summoned behind me again and this time, the hundreds of them began to multi target all of the dragons, shooting them all to death. The firepower that I have has gotten stronger… I won’t let anyone down again!
