Chapter 572 - [Fated Encounters: Nyzzet"s Labyrinth Conquest] 34/?: Ultimate Attack!
-----
Using Goghesdum"s guidance, Kireina and her family reached Odanth"s city through a shortcut route inside the dungeon, managing to reach the place just before Odanth were to die.
It could be said that Odanth was an extremely lucky dragon, her life had been saved by Kireina just in time.
And now Kireina glanced at her opponent, which seemed to have been capable of resisting two of her punches…
Kireina quickly a.n.a.lyzed the strength of the beast before her, a two-headed Thunderstorm Dragon seemed to be a rare evolution, which was perhaps stronger than a High Dragon and even an Elder Dragon.
It had thick scales, hard flesh, and st.u.r.dy bones, its body size was also immense, surpa.s.sing one hundred meters, a true behemoth from within the abyss.
And to top it all, the Parasite Soul Clone of Begudhur that inhabited it seemed stronger than the rest. It was at least four times as big and it possessed a larger Divine Energy reserve.
Kireina was rather pleased with this news, smiling devilishly as transformed her grotesque and monstrous arms back to "normal" while shrouding herself in robes made out of bright yellow and white light… the strong and overwhelming power of a divinity resonated within her existence.
The two-headed Thunderstorm Dragon seemed to have been shocked at how Kireina learned the name of his main body… Begudhur was sure that she was some kind of young and naïve G.o.ddess that did not know who was truly Begudhur nor what she did by weakening his seal.
But she seemed quite sharp… she somehow knew about his name, and perhaps even his main powers and purposes… could she even know about his history?
Begudhur quickly understood that the opponent he had just met, whom he held no previous grudges nor any actual hate, had become more frightening than it seemed already.
Just what kind of creature was she?
Begudhur had only thought about getting her off the way by eating her and then continue on his journey to conquer the world of Genesis, but after being shocked by her overwhelming powers and vast knowledge, the demon G.o.d could not help but feel intrigued about her…
Who was she really? What was he missing out on?
Begudhur did not possess the Interdimensional Merchant Shop Skill, so he was not capable of contacting other G.o.ds and buy information from them. Such Skill was rather easy to acquire, which was by changing Cla.s.ses to G.o.d Merchant, a Cla.s.s unlocked after any G.o.d reaches G.o.dhood, and exchange a few Skill Points for this skill.
But Begudhur never knew how to truly acquire this skill, even if it were so easy, and he barely knew that the G.o.ds had some kind of place where they sold and buy stuff… amongst G.o.ds he had no friends nor allies nor contacts, he was rather isolated from the G.o.d"s societies since his rise to G.o.dhood, and no G.o.d had any intention of helping him out, as he would most likely parasitize them if they tried.
Although Begudhur was now deep into a slumber to unleash his "metamorphosis" after acquiring powers similar to Kireina, he was still mildly connected with all of his Parasite Soul Clones.
And because each of his Parasite Soul Clones had his same knowledge and personality to an extent, they could not help but be surprised when Kireina said his name.
And to recognize the strength of this Parasite Soul Clone, Kireina decided to use her strongest Divinity, that of the G.o.d of Light, Apollo. The G.o.d that she slowly parasitized and devoured… in a similar fas.h.i.+on than Begudhur would be able to if he were ever given the opportunity.
However, her power when using such Divinity might be way too overwhelming for the Parasite Soul Clone, even if it was way stronger than the others, it was still around Rank 14 in the Mortal Realm, with a bit of Divine Power, but still not as strong as an actual G.o.d.
Meanwhile, Kireina could be said to surpa.s.s the Realm of Mortals whenever she used her divinity…
The tables were completely against their favor…
But that was okay by the Clones.
Yes, it was perfectly fine, it was just as they wanted. After all, they didn"t come here o defeat Kireina and her family, but to buy time, as long as they can take many hits, more time is bought, and more energy is spent in fighting them…
That was enough for them.
The two-headed Thunderstorm Dragon smiled with its two heads, even though the burning pain of a wound made by a ray of light charged with the Light Divinity of Kireina was severe, it was not a Divine Technique, but a simple mortal spell charged with this power… And because of this, it was capable of taking many.
"I will show you what I am truly capable of!" roared the two heads of the Thunderstorm Dragon, flying around the sky while engulfing itself in the dark red Divine Aura of the Parasite Soul Clone of Begudhur. Its wound quickly regenerated as its body mutated and became burlier and monstrous.
Kireina smiled as her clothes finished its transformation, using various skills alongside her Light Divinity, she coated herself with a beautiful white dress with many gold decorations, as an effect of using such Divinity, her hair turned blonde and her eyes blue with yellow sparks, her purple b.u.t.terfly wings turned yellow and white… her entire existence seemed to have become something different.
"This is my G.o.ddess of Light Transformation… Feel honored that you will die through it" said Kireina.
"G-G.o.ddess of Light… so that"s why that Divinity… Tch! It does not matter… as long as I build time! Roaring Dark Thunder Catastrophe!"
Without wanting to waste more time, the two-headed dragon decided to begin fighting straight away, converging the Divine Energy within its Parasite Soul Clone alongside its Mana into a single spell of catastrophic proportions, creating hundreds of black-colored lightning bolts!
Clas.h.!.+ Clas.h.!.+ Clas.h.!.+
"Aegis, Light Barrier of Magic Reflection!" said Kireina, conjuring her powerful barrier skill Aegis, alongside the Transcendental Light Attribute Source Spell "Light Barrier of Magic Reflection", which had the power of reflecting Magic to an extent, this coupled with Aegis made for an incredible barrier.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The dark lightning roared in fury, clas.h.i.+ng against Kireina"s barrier as it dissipated almost instantly after touching it, the two-headed dragon kept conjuring this magic in hopes to make Kireina wait for it to finish.
"Roaring Dark Thunder Catastrophe! Double Pressurized Dark Thunder Cannon!" roared the giant behemoth.
"How boring, are you just going to spam this now? How about some diversity to entertain our watchers?" said Kireina, glancing back to the city of High Viper.
Kireina"s Divine Light Aura began to s.h.i.+ne brighter, converging into giant lumps of pure divinity as she shaped them into thousands of tiny arrows.
"This is my take into one of Apollo"s Divine Techniques, it is just a weak version though… Taste this and tell me what you think! Gates of Heaven: Burning Light Arrows!"
Kireina controlled the arrows of pure Light Divinity and materialized them into sharp projectiles, firing them towards her foe with great precision. This was an imitation of one of Apollo"s Divine Techniques, which she was not capable of reproducing due to lacking Divine Energy… however, she used the knowledge about this Divine Technique she acquired when she a.s.similated Apollo"s memories and created a spell with it applying her knowledge about her "Gates of" Spells.
This was perhaps one of her greatest culmination of such spells up until now, which she named "Gates of Heaven". Instead of using Divine Energy to use the power within her Divinity, Kireina simply used her Divinity itself to attack, shaping it as arrows and then materializing it with her "Aura Materialization" Technique.
This could be comparable to someone using the gun to hit someone instead of shooting with bullets because Kireina lacked the bullets (Divine Energy).
However, the gun was still pretty hard and strong, so she just hit her enemy with it until it bleeds and dies… or so was her plan.
But due to various of her unique skills that no G.o.ds possess, she was able to use her divinity in ways that not many G.o.ds could, although it could be said that using it to attack someone would weaken her, her Soul and Aura constantly regenerated by devouring themselves in an infinite cycle with "Uroboros" so she was constantly replenis.h.i.+ng her own soul and aura.
It as if she were using a gun without bullets. Cutting chunks of the bullet and throwing them like rocks, while the gun magically regenerated those chunks… it was an unrealistic thing to even think about, but Kireina was capable of doing such an outrageous ability…
The Gates of Heaven opened, as the bright light atop Kireina"s beautiful appearance showed clouds and light, as if the Gates of Heaven really did exist. Her arrows flew from there, like the judgment from an army of Angels towards the sinful mortals or malevolent demons.
The two-headed Thunderstorm Dragon glanced with horror… but he was not going to give up just as simply, at least, he had to buy a few more minutes of his worth!
The light arrows quickly penetrated through the wind itself, reaching towards Kireina"s foe, about to unleash true judgment upon them.
Flas.h.!.+ Flas.h.!.+ Flas.h.!.+
"GRAAAA! Roaring Thunder Clouds Domain, Dark Thunder Arrows!" roared the two-headed Thunderstorm Dragon, as he generated a small domain composed of dark clouds roaring with thunder across its surroundings, which he used to enhance its capabilities and unleash arrows of his own to fight against Kireina.
Flas.h.!.+ Flas.h.!.+ Flas.h.!.+
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Surprisingly, the two-headed Thunderstorm Dragon"s arrows were capable of fighting against Kireina"s due to their charged Divine Energy, and even though Kireina"s attack had G.o.d Devour charged into it, instead of overpowering the arrows of the dragon, the projectiles would explode, covering the battlefield around them in a thick and dark fog.
"Oh? I thought you would end up like swiss cheese" said Kireina, as she glanced down below, as the Aura of the two-headed Thunderstorm Dragon turned into the shape of a giant serpentine Asian serpentine dragon, materializing, and splitting into dozens, flying towards Kireina with the intent of devouring her.
Kireina clapped at this.
"Good one! Let us see… Can I copy your homework?" laughed Kireina, as she shaped her Light Attribute Divinity Aura into the same serpentine dragons, but these were bigger, more intimidating, and flashed in a blinding light.
Flas.h.!.+
"GROWL!"
"ROAR!"
"GRAWL!"
"Don"t worry, I made sure to change it, so it is not the same thing, fufu" laughed Kireina, as she commanded her own Light Dragons to fight against her foe Thunder Dragons.
"What?! You just copied my spell!" roared her foe"s two heads at the same time, while shrouding itself on its small domain.
The two armies of dragons quickly fought against each other, Kireina"s dragons showed an obvious advantage, overpowering her enemy with mighty bites and light breaths.
The Thunder Dragons were overpowered and exploded into pieces as they were devoured by the Light Dragons, it was a rather amusing view for that High Viper that had decided to stay on the surface and glance at the spectacle.
"Tear him apart," said Kireina.
The Light Dragons continued their flying route, reaching Begudhur"s Soul Clone and beginning to tear apart its dark cloud shroud.
"GRRRAA! I won"t fall so easily… not yet!"
The two-headed Thunderstorm Dragon opened its two jaws as it fired a double Pressurized Thunder Cannon towards its aggressors, who dissipated into large explosions by the moment they were touched by such a powerful attack… however, their explosions still held great power and were also charged with Divinity Devouring, managing to damage Begudhur"s Soul Clone domain even more, until it exploded into pieces, revealing the giant two-headed dragon that was trying to guard himself against Kireina.
"My domain… How could it be destroyed so fast?!"
Flas.h.!.+
Kireina suddenly appeared behind Begudhur"s Soul Clone as if she were a ray of yellow and white light!
"Huh?! So fast! But how? She"s still right in front of me!" thought the two heads of the dragon.
"You"re wondering how I am just here while being there? Do you know that Light can create many illusions by manipulating its reflections and colors? If that is applied into a Divinity, the mirages can become very convincing!" laughed Kireina, as she suddenly summoned two swords, Excalibur and Black Excalibur.
Flas.h.!.+
Both swords were engulfed in light and darkness, creating a strong pressure that not even a giant one hundred meters tall two-headed dragon could withstand.
"Uunnghh…! T-Those weapons!"
"Excalibur is particularly good at slaying dragons, you know?" said Kireina with a smile, raising the two swords as she converged the energy within them into a larger power.
"T-Tch! I will not die like this! ROOARR!" roared the two-headed dragon, unleas.h.i.+ng its powerful breath cannons alongside many other spells at close range!
However, Kireina only smiled with confidence.
"I always wanted to do this… EXCALIBUR!"
FLAs.h.!.+
Kireina unleashed a single slash with both of her swords into her foe direction, creating not a slash attack, but a gigantic cannon of light and darkness that flew towards the dragon at incredible speed, breaking through the wind itself and destroying any attack that her foe threw at her at that moment!
"S-So this is how much I lasted… Pathetic…" muttered Begudhur"s Soul Clone, as the blast released from Kireina"s swords vaporized its entire body into nothingness in a flash of blinding light and nightmarish darkness.
BOOM!
Kireina"s attack continued after that, hitting the ground, and breaking apart the dungeon itself towards the lower floors… the entire structure began to tremble but quickly settled down.
"Phew… it really does feel good," said Kireina, resting both of her swords in her shoulders.
