Chapter 644 Defeating A Lesser Dragon
-----
"[Lightning Dragon Judgement]!"
Scales grew across my arms and hands, as I imbued the Dragon Power flowing across my Draconic Heart into Scarlet, my loyal sword. In mere seconds, the lightning I ended absorbing from my powerful friend became the fuel for this new technique, which my lightning alone wouldn\'t had been able to conjure to such a ridiculous extent!
"ROOOOOOAAAAARRR!"
An enormous serpentine dragon made of lightning emerged, clashing against the High Sea Snake\'s powerful Oceanic Tornado, and completely devastating, continuing its course towards the Lesser Dragon and then engulfing it into the lightning catastrophe!
CRAAAAAAASSSSSHHHHHHHH!!!
The power of the lightning was so strong that it made the entire ocean it summoned evaporate. Giving us a chance to confront it as we immediately descended once the explosion\'s smoke dissipated.
"SHAAAAAH!"
The furious High Sea Snake glared knives at us. Its draconic eyes emanating powerful quantities of Mana. However, that attack had clearly weakened it after Zack hit it first. Although very resilient, it was clear that one of this dragon\'s weaknesses was the Lightning element.
"Attack from all sides! Stay away from its close ranged attacks!" I quickly commanded everyone, as we began to launch long-ranged attacks to weaken it. "Curse!"
"Alright!"
Curse was summoned in front of me, as he fused his powers and skills with me, one of the many benefits of giving a System to my Familiars is that their Skills could be shared with me, boosting my magic even further.
"[Ancient Curse]! [Black Chains]!"
I combined these Skills with my Darkness Magic, boosted tremendously by my contract with him and also with Beelzebub, coupled with the Curse I had eaten from Furoh himself, all of it emerged out of the tip of my blade, unleashing dozens of chains made of darkness which wrapped around the High Sea Snake!
It didn\'t outright stopped its movements, but it surely made the creature slower and weaker. Countless black chains wrapping around its body and draining away its Mana and Vitality was a really good move, but it drained a lot of Curse\'s strength, so we couldn\'t spam it as much as I would want.
"RAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!"
The High Sea Snake grew desperate, slamming the floor with its thick scaled tail, unleashing countless spikes of frozen oceanic water, attempting to impale us. However, I dealt with them quickly, a few swings of my lightning and fire-imbued sword shattered all the ice that it summoned, while my friends kept attacking it from the surroundings.
"I have to go all out! [Beast Aura]!!!!"
CLAAAASH!
Zack unleashed several storming attacks, winds and lightning combining together into massive bear-like claws which he summoned out of his Beast Aura. His attacks were wild and disorganized, but he packed a punch, especially now that he was our only proficient lightning magic wielder, he was dealing the most direct damage.
"[Abyssal Scythe]! [Soul Reaping]!"
SLAAAASH!
Aquarina gathered her shadows and darkness into her weapons, fusing them into her scythe once more. She flew around the skies majestically, as she gracefully swung her scythe, each time she did, she cut down a piece of the dragon\'s soul, weakening it while filling its scales with wounds at the same time.
"[Lethargic Curse]! [Draining Curse]! [Spiderweb of Shadows]!"
"[Holy Enhancement]! [Light Field]! [Holy Light Arrows]!"
BOOOM! FLAAASH!
Celeste kept close to Mist, she utilized her Cursed Spear to inflict weakening debuff curses on the Lesser Dragon, while her darkness turned into spiderwebs which wrapped around the dragon, stacking with my own black chains, strengthening the curse effects. Meanwhile, Mist healed our injuries and our vitality while shooting light arrows into the dragon\'s eyes, temporarily blinding it.
"You can do it Mister Teddy!"
Lastly, Celica was imbuing her Mana into her golem, as it was tanking most of the dragon\'s physical attacks while she used her puppeteer strings to control the golem wonderfully. At the same time, Nephi offered her support by firing countless light beams.
My familiars all gathered their power into my sword, as I unleashed a devastating lightning attack which was merged with the holy light element of Alice and the nature element of Naturia!
CRAAAAAASSSSHHHHH!!!
The powerful attack not only spread lightning, but it quickly erupted around the Sea Snake\'s body as countless branches and roots began growing across its flesh and scales, dealing heavy internal damage, at the same time as explosions of light devastated the scales and flesh even further! Now that was teamwork!
Beelzebub utilized his deadly venom and poisons to drain away the life of the Dragon, as he naturally imbued his powers into my attacks. Each blow I dealt against the dragon filled its wounds with more poison. Even if dragons were very resistant to poisons and venoms, this one was a lesser dragon, and terribly weakened as it was. It was working.
"SHAAAAAH! RAAAAAARRRRRGGH…!"
The Dragon kept clinging to life, but its eyes slowly began losing their light, it gasped for air as it suddenly gathered its last amounts of Mana into its jaws, trying to unleash a dragon breath to take us with him!
"Not going to happen! [Decapitation]!"
However, Aquarina stopped it from doing any further damage, swinging her scythe, which suddenly grew ten times its original size as she imbued all her remaining shadows into it, and then she swung her weapon mercilessly against the High Sea Snake\'s neck, beheading the monster in the process!
SLAAAAAAASH!
"GRYYYYAAAAARRRGGH…!"
Giving an agonizing screech, the Lesser Dragon\'s head was finally sliced off, its massive head falling into the floor and causing an incredible tremor, followed by an even larger one as its body fell into the floor and stayed motionless, forever this time.
BAAAM! BAAAAMMM!
We glanced with surprise. This battle wasn\'t at all easy. We rested in the floor right after the Lesser Dragon\'s defeat, gasping for air.
"Agh, we did it…" Zack sighed.
"Finally…" Mist gasped.
"Oof… I really can\'t keep this up for so long…" Aquarina\'s shadows dissipated, revealing her normal body, she fell into the floor, with a strong fever.
"Ah… A-Aquarina!" I quickly gathered my strength, rushing towards her after confirming everyone was okay.
