The pride of the dragons was etched in the body of that skeletal dragon . The memories of when it was alive were kept intact; they were its pain and its honor .
Saleen’s soul trembled . He couldn’t do anything about this reaction—it always happened when facing off against powerful beings .
Saleen’s feet glowed with yellow light again . That time, he sucked the energy of an Elemental Stone Statue Soldier dry, causing the elemental creature to fall into a slumber .
Saleen moved to the head of that skeletal dragon and pressed eight Armoring Lightning Beads into its skull .
A loud explosion went off . The skeletal dragon tried to use power of the spirits to remove the beads .
While the beads’ power was far from raging, the energy they contained exceeded the dragon’s calculation . It was he who had miscalculated this time . Saleen quickly retreated as Rafel unleashed green divine power from her spear that coalesced into crystals in the air, trapping the dragon inside .
It was the Wall of Gods, which was something like the gods’ version of a territory .
The skeletal dragon flailed . Using brute force, it tried using its body’s power to break through the wall using . Cracks on its skull were quickly patched up .
Rafel still had to become adept at using the goddess’s power . If it had been divine power from the Metal God, she could have ensured that the cracks never healed . It wouldn’t have been until the fight was over that the skeletal dragon would have had the chance to patch itself up .
The Violet Angel’s twin spears were jabbed into the skeletal dragon’s eyes . Bone pieces flew out as the spears stuck .
The Violet Angel gave up the spears without hesitation despite having used them as its arms .
The front half of the spears instantly corroded, a result of spirit power . The Violet Angel would not have been able to resist the attack, regardless of the quality of materials its body was constructed of . The move of overpowering by rules almost cost the Violet Angel its life .
Rafel looked glum as her body expanded to a height of over 20 meters . The Violet Angel shook its body around as well, growing a pair of arms to a height of around 30 meters .
Those heights were the best size for fighting . Crystal clear light shot from Rafel’s golden eyes .
She switched to her own weapon—the Inferno Spear .
Hundreds of weapons were conjured on the surface of the Violet Angel’s body . All were experimental weapons developed by Saleen, which he put in its body to allow the puppet to use them at will . Experimental weapons might not have been stable, but there was no doubt about their exceptional power and attributes .
The Violet Angel paid no attention to any of that . Instead . It was quite pleased that Saleen used it for experimentation . If it were to simply advance along conventional lines, it would have died before ever reaching level-14 . Only by allowing Saleen to keep doing experiments with it did this weapon have a chance to change its fate .
Hundreds of attacks hit the skeletal dragon; the huge beast shrugged it all off . It turned around and spat out a large ax hoping to cleave Saleen with it . It quickly discovered, however, that targeting Saleen was impossible unless it could undo its seal .
If it were to do that, it would not have lasted very long .
“O’ Dragon God of old, the insignificance of my being caused me to fall, yet I pray to you on this day, in hopes of returning to your embrace . Give me a place in the world of dragons, allow my soul to resurrect and find peace, in the graves of the dragons . ” The skeletal dragon actually began to pray .
The Dragon God was not an actual god, for it possessed no divine persona and no divine kingdom . What it did possess was a graveyard of dragons . The souls of all dead dragons would have only found peace when they entered this final resting place .
“Dream all you want, skeletal dragon . I shall curse you right here that you would never find the passage back to the kingdom of dragons,” Saleen shouted and unleashed four-ball lightning, directing them into the bone dragon’s body to create chaos .
He knew there was no way he would have been able to send them into the dragon’s eye sockets even though they were of the size of a well .
The ball lightning pierced the skeletal dragon’s body and it howled in rage . It had no idea if Saleen’s curse would have materialized, but it seemed as if its soul had been chained to Myers Mainland .
“Puny mage! If I were to never return, then I shall take you with me in death!” White bone spikes shot out of the skeletal dragon’s body . The Violet Angel that threw itself straight at the dragon was pierced . All sorts of parts fell from its body, turning it gray . Then it began to rot .
The Violet Angel’s body split up and it ran in shambles, leaving half of its body behind . That was a very serious injury .
Over 100 magic cannons bombarded from above . Saleen climbed on and baited the skeletal dragon to follow him . The beast gave chase even though it was reluctant to let that enemy go . It vibrated its bone wings and took off . Even if Saleen headed straight to the abyss, it would have pursued him even if it meant falling again .
Hundreds of beams of light struck the skeletal dragon and sent pieces of bones flying every which way . Those injuries quickly healed .
The thundering sound continued crackling from inside the skeletal dragon’s body . Both lightning beads and ball light raged, destroying the internal structure of the skeletal dragon . The speed at which the destruction was wrought finally exceeded the rate at which the dragon patched its body .
“My death shall be forgiven and I shall take your soul to the Dragon God for judgment!” The skeletal dragon bellowed in an ancient dragon tongue while chasing after Saleen . The huge ax shot from its mouth again . Saleen disappeared without a trace as it was cleaved by the ax, confirming that it was just an illusion .
It was unknown when Saleen placed a bunch of illusions behind him that stacked with his real body . One illusion after another trailed after Saleen as the yellow light on his feet glowed . It was difficult to tell the real thing from the illusions .
When the ax burst and broke 12 Thundering Phantasms, Saleen finally understood that the deathly power on it had been depleted .
His robe turned golden and the runes on it unleashed an indescribable ring of fire .
The temperature at the center of the ring was frighteningly low while the exterior made the dragon hesitant to get near .
The sudden light made Saleen look as if he was a burning sun .
Saleen protected himself using Water Flame Alchemy, so he unleashed water elemental transmuted magic, which caused fire element to be thoroughly consumed . The defensive move was also an offensive one: It blocked the ax’s attack while retaliating .
Saleen turned around at that moment and pointed his finger . The Crystal Finger was aimed squarely at one of the dragon’s eyes . The white beam from the move obliterated the soul flame in that dragon’s left eye .
The skeletal dragon was severely injured by that move, which was the equivalent to having half its soul crushed by Saleen, making recovery impossible .
The dragon’s form made it so that it had to rely on the power of the soul flame to fight . Because of its plans of resurrection, half its body returned to its original living dragon state, filled with flesh and blood . It was a reversal skill of the half-dead that the dragon used to restore some parts of its body as well as abilities as a living dragon .
Pfftt…
Near the abdominal area near the tail, hundreds of scales shot out, intending to drown Saleen in a rain of dragon scales .
Every single dragon scale contained rules that the skeletal dragon had developed when it was still alive . If it were still a true living dragon, that attack would have only caused it some light injuries . Given that it was a skeletal dragon shooting out scales it had painstakingly conjured, it meant that those power of rules would have left it for good .
That was how determined the skeletal dragon was . Now Saleen was in a crisis .
“Master!” The Violet Angel panicked and its body disintegrated further, leaving only its head behind . Its upper body was transmuted into thousands of parts that were flying out to block the attack off for Saleen .
Rafel’s face was tense . As she flailed her Inferno Spear around, a dark red space encircled Saleen in an instant . The matter inside the space felt like rusted metal . That skill was called the Metal Territory .
There was little need to talk about the part materials on the Violet Angel, as they consisted of the best materials Saleen was able to gather . After the metal space was formed, all of those parts were sucked into the Metal Territory, turning into miniaturized metal angels flying at the dragon scales .
Saleen felt as if he had been locked onto by strong power of the soul . As a result, he couldn’t move . His elemental creatures gave their all to cast skills and to try to make him escape, but they were unable to break through the deathly moon of the skeletal dragon .
Under the light of the moon, the Metal Territory continued to crumble .
Hundreds of pieces of dragon scales cut the Metal Territory up into pieces in an instant . It was only then that Saleen regained his freedom and cast Water Shield . After the scales tore up the Metal Territory, they lost their sharpness and were unable to break through Saleen’s defense when they banged onto the Water Shield .
With half his magic chords consumed and power of the soul almost depleted, the divine crystal in his hand was quickly disintegrated to replenish his power of the soul . The dragon sustained harrowing injuries: The lower half of its body was bloodied while thundering noises continued to be heard in the upper half . The Armoring Lightning Beads and ball lightning tore up the skeletal dragon’s internal structures and worsened its injuries .
The dragon brought its claws down . It no longer minded dying, so long as it was able to take Saleen with it right there and then .
Saleen’s magic amplifier blocked the dragon’s claws . It appeared with a crack and stopped the claw’s advance . The weapon spirit within the magic amplifier roared in protest .
It had originally intended to avoid fighting since Saleen had used the magic amplifier to block the dragon’s attack it had no way of evading .
The clash ended requiring the weapon spirit of the magic amplifier to use all of its powers to protect the space within the magic amplifier . It felt as if it was about to come undone . The dragon’s claws were not in as good shape either . Whatever flesh was left on them had pretty much splattered everywhere .
Saleen was thrown off by the power of the claw attack . Because the magic amplifier had blocked the attack, Saleen didn’t suffer much damage . No so the skeletal dragon: it suffered half the damage it dealt from the recoil .
The Skeletal dragon was unwilling to let Saleen escape . The injuries on his body became much more severe . It looked up and saw the Violet Angel, who had only its head left behind . The dragon vibrated its wings and shot up .
Rafel knew things were going south and threw its Inferno Spear from behind, targeting the back of the dragon’s head . The dragon swished its tail and caused the Inferno Spear to lose its target, piercing the tail bone of the dragon instead .
The skeletal dragon held the intense pain in and swallowed the head of the Violet Angel .
It was able to tell that the Violet Angel’s level was not low and the energy within enabled it to patch up its wounds . As such, it let Saleen off for the moment and was compelled to eat up that peculiar puppet . As soon as it patched up some of its injuries, it was time to kill that mage .
