Dungeons. No matter if their floors had a bright sky or could show the outer world, if they didnt have a way to fully simulate a sun and its solar rays, then my solar core couldnt recharge while I was within it. And that was exactly the case with the Dungeon of Yeostar.
And seeing as I had to fight against 231 contestants and make it as one of the top eight, then it ant I needed to be conservative with my resources. This was a marathon, not a sprint. With those twelve, potentially strong targets in mind, I decided I couldnt expend too much of my Stamina or Mana. Especially since one of the rules of the match also included being unable to use outside consumables, like my dragorade.
And there was another problem I had to face in this whole situation; Mother and the others explained to Fargryneill and about how the audience watched the matches. You had sothing like a birds eye or even an over-the-shoulder view, like in a third-person video ga, of the different combatants. The more kills you accumulated, the bigger this screen would beco.
Which ant, I couldnt be at zero kills! I was an idol and my job was to gain fans to reach the next [The Light] milestone. No idea if this would work, since I was in my dragonewt form and a girl, things the Principality of Yeos didnt like at all, but I had to try to do sothing. And, from how I gained 32 fans from my plan, it seed to have worked, well, only for the beastn, I guess. Solidarity and camaraderie in race.
So, how did I do all of this, especially since I had to make sure not to kill anybody? AFK tower defense was the idea. [Levin Core] and [Cyclone Madness] were both pretty nice spells, but didnt deal bombastic burst damage as I liked with my offensive spells and attacks. They dealt the damage over ti, through lightning blasts and sharp winds.
With how my stats, even in my moderate dragonewt form, were far superior to D and so C adventurers, I could easily kill them with a single punch. I normally was able to control my strength hold back my punches except for yesterday, when I let my temper co out. That was my bad. Even if it was a sanctioned fight, it was still murder. I didnt want to sugarcoat it, even if those two lowlives intended to do so rather nasty stuff to if I were a normal person.
So, I strived to not accidentally cause another death today. With these two spells, I created a barrier around the forest and, when combined with the [Taunt] ability, I could persuade people to co into it, making so easy kills while climbing the leaderboard and allowing myself to beco more well-known by the people of Elyonda.
Really smart of to take the [Taunter] Job before entering today, if I could praise myself.
I was conserving so Mana through this plan, but I still ended up using about 25% of my max Mana pool after all of that. It dropped down to 65% after I had to [Purple Flash] a [Symphonie des Feuergottes] just now.
This was a necessary asure, as I didnt expect to find sobody with a higher level than Yorshka in this tournant, especially not this early. King Drangleic and his dukes had told the Folschreck Empires royal knights were strong, but never would I have expected one of them to be over level 140.
And he was even an ex mber, too.
Wind Blast. Dragoon Dive!
Using [Air Step], I stomped forwards on the very air as the wind from behind blasted forward like a rocket. With my glaive held before , aiming at the forr knight standing before , I planned to land a decisive blow to him, hopefully crippling him enough to end this battle fast. Unfortunately, I was a bit too naive, thinking this would be that easy.
With perfect timing, he moved his sword slightly up and used the tip to redirect my blow to his left, before jumping to his right to avoid the shockwave.
What?! I might not have used my rocket boosters there, but my speed was still too fast for most people to dodge, never mind redirect it! This guy, Larent Antonodius, just did it flawlessly and even shifted himself into the perfect position to counterattack.
Spark Crescent.
While I was still recovering my balance and weapon, Larent charged forward with a stab, but thankfully [Dragon Fire]s automatic fla attacks activated and stopped his assault. I then stepped back, using my self-made glaive ability by slashing upwards with my weapon and tail, creating two fla crescents.
Larent parried both hits, sadly, but it gave to the chance to leech so Mana and Stamina from him using my weapons [Passive Rune: Mana Drain] and [Passive Rune: Stamina Beast]. Small amounts, but much needed.
To prevent him from attacking again, I launched my [Unheilige Engel] at him in the form of obsidian spears, giving enough ti to open the face on my [Panzer] helt and release a stream of [Hellfla Breath]. This was sothing he couldnt parry, so he decided to dodge it and use his position to flank .
He [Gale Step]ed back into close quarters, exactly where he wanted to be against , and launched a flurry of attacks. I couldnt see a way to break through this with conventional ans. Even after training with Yorshka and having fought decent swordsn like Farron and Charleslyt, I couldnt detect a single opening to counterattack.
In fact, he even found a way through my defense!
Shit! I cursed in my head when he slipped through my glaive and sliced at my stomach. I moved my scales just in ti to defend myself, but it was still too close for comfort.
I was forced to release my [Dreadflare Aura], slamming him against a tree from the heat blast. Cold sweat ran down my spine as I touched my belly area, picking up so of the shattered scales used to defend . His sword slash even broke through the [Draconic Barrier] I placed on them.
Like peeling a cepillium, he stated, comparing to a Peolynca onion while dusting off the dirt on his carapace armor. The more I move, the more you will have to reveal your abilities, my lady.
Uhmm I groaned a bit.
He was right. How much could I hide my arsenal while fighting against this guy? I wanted to hold back as much as I could until the finals or when I fought Fargryneill, but from the look of it, that seed impossible now.
The announcer suddenly spoke up, broadcasting that about 30 people were still on the battlefield, so I was nowhere close to winning yet. Up until now, he had only been comntating about our fight to the crowd and I could see the crowd cheering hard. I hadn't known how many people were left until just this mont.
Look at this, everybody! A short respite before the battle continues. What a fierce early skirmish, and Sir Larent cannot even rest for a mont! The fla arena Hestia created keeps peppering him with random fire waves! I kept an ear open for the announcer's comntry while focusing my eyes on Larent as he dodged around the periodic fla attacks from [Dragon Fire].
The spell song increased all fire and dragon type damage I did on Larent, but if I couldnt hit him, it was practically useless. I currently had [Symphonie des Feuergottes Movent (Allegro)], my second fastest phase before the finale movent. I had even transford back into my minor form, which only reduced my total stats to two-thirds of my full dragon abilities, but I was still not fast enough.
This battle might still be in its early phase, but I could already tell the difference between us. It felt like fighting Yorska, only I was used to her fighting style and skills. I didnt know what Larents profile looked like since I was doing this duel fairly. I was really tempted to use [Mana Eyes] on him, but it really felt like cheating. He was a knight; a forr one, yes, but I didnt think he would take it kindly if I appraised him now.
Not exactly soone I would like to anger.
Larent was keeping his head facing towards , despite dodging around. I couldnt tell from his facial expression, but I really wondered why he wasnt attacking . Was he giving a chance to figure out a battle plan, or what?
From our eting in Estralia, he knew I was a dragon, so he probably understood I had used [Humanize] to transform into my minor form to kinda even our difference in levels and fighting experience. I hid my transformation with a fire waterfall and my form now with a bulky [Panzer] armor from the crowd, but this middle-aged guy knew. He wanted to show more of my abilities.
Guess I cant hold back at all. Cant show Im a dragon, but doing this properly should be good enough! I need to win!
From the looks of it, I was almost convinced this guy would be in the finals. He certainly had a last boss feeling around him with how competent he was, so if he was the strongest foe I had to face in this tournant, then showing everybody what I could do wouldnt hurt too much if I kicked this guy out of the arena now!
Release.
My [Dreadflare Aura] burst forth again, however, unlike before, I was maintaining the heatwave, pushing Larent back from the sheer temperature. My sun core kicked in, beginning to maintain my body temperature.
I apologized to the forest, for I once again set another wood afla. The ground began to lt, the trees caught on fire, and the very air felt like it could burn your lungs. Anything inside my aura was just fuel for my purple flas growing everywhere, reducing everything into a thick, semi-solid, semi-liquid form lava.
For a human, this was slowly turning inhospitable. But, for a fire dragon? It was starting to feel like ho.
One thing Mother taught when I was making the Obsidian Orchestra, my dragon lair, was that I should never try to fight an experienced elental dragonkin within their ho. Ho advantage was pretty devastating when they could even control the very elental mana they cultivated inside their lair.
As such, a truly strong dragon could change the very nature of the area they fought in by releasing their aura with their mana. After all, mana was the fundantal pillar of this world, and with it, you could even change the very land.
And this technique Mother taught during the creation of my den? It was called: Mana Release.
Volcanic Blaze! Magmakamr! (Magma Chamber)
Mana Release activated. Aura used as control unit: [Dreadfla Dragon Lv. 5]. Wrong control unit used. Semi-perfect Territory established
Semi-perfect? Awwwww, guess this is my first real try Verdammt, I should have used [Draconic Aura]!
S-She burned down three farmland worth of trees! Its all gone! The announcers voice quivered in astonishnt. I-It all lted down into lava! A-And, is that obsidian?
Any hint of a forest was gone forever, as my fla aura reduced everything it touched into ash. The land was now bursting with seams of lava rivers and obsidian ground, crackling and bursting like the inside of a natural volcano.
This was not all I could do with my [Volcanic Blaze] training. I was a lavamancer now!
Kraaagh! I stomped the ground, spreading my mana through it to have it explode. Lava flew up, launching into the air as I controlled the molten rock to follow like water.
I snapped my head around as I noticed Larents ash-covered figure dispelling his [Auracoil]. Towering over him while standing on this stream of levitating lava, I stomped on it once again, launching the pyroclastic flow towards him before I activated my wings rocket boosters.
Mhmm! A Territory? Hmph! It is the least I should expect from soone like you, my lady! Nevertheless, I shall slice through your heat!
And just as he announced it, Larent sliced right through the lava, but with all my buffs and the rocket boosters, I caught him right when he was recovering his swing. He blocked my glaive strike in an awkward position, causing him to beco unbalanced. I then hooked his blade with my glaive and kicked him away. But instead of disarming him, his grip power led to lose my weapon montarily.
Still, I didnt falter. I maneuvered around him with my rocket booster as my parallel minds began preparing spells. Now behind him, I slashed at him with my tail, using [Hellblade Edge] to keep him on his toes before digging my claws into the ground and hurling a boulder-sized lava ball.
He threw away my glaive before slashing the ball into pieces, only for my remote controlled glaive to shoot scale-dust bullets at him to draw his attention away as I changed not only the spell song but also activated two of my buffing spells.
Is this the fated battle, the light shines
Its blinding my sight
But Ive gotta hold on, the stage calls
The cries of a thousand, the flas of war will descend
The carnage of the blazing sun
Blood rain from swords and claws
The strive to pierce the sky
The light that beckons you forth
The fla arena disappeared, changing into a more peppy song fighting a high-action battle scene between the protagonist and the wall standing before her. If I couldnt hit him, then I would play into the endurance match with [The Will to Fight and Survive] for an endless amount of Stamina!
Halo of Consecration! Prayer!
[Prayer (Major)] inflicted on [Young Sunfang Dragon, Hestia Atsuko Kargryxmor]
H-Holy magic! [Prayer]! Warm light basked as the announcer and the crowd exploded into an uproar as I finally revealed another piece of my arsenel. The icing on the cake was the white flaming halo above my head.
[Symphonie des Feuergottes Movent (Adagio)] inflicted on [Young Sunfang Dragon, Hestia Atsuko Kargryxmor]
Shit! I cursed, feeling my Agility disappearing with the allegro movent. At least now, if I sohow managed to hit him, I could deal more damage with adagio boosting my firepower.
Not letting it demotivate for long, I flew right back towards him, wielding my glaive as we clashed our weapons once again. However, unlike Larent, I was also shooting him with lighting and storm spells or reorganizing the battlefield with either [Bedrock Blades] or [Rumbling Might].
Banishnt Beam!
Rays of light shot forward only to be sliced apart by his sword, making start to understand there was sothing special with his strikes. Every slash could cleave through my spells with ease. This wasnt just his skill with the sword, his sword had to be enchanted also, even if it didnt have any runes.
Levin Core!
I produced a ball of thunder whilst eting him head-on again. It was like a dance, honestly. His beautiful swordsmanship was defending well against my destructive battlemage style; it would be a sight to behold if I wasnt on the other end of this match. I had to hand it to him, outside of being cooked alive by the ground and air, he was handling this battle pretty well.
Crimson, white, and purple flas began to consu his body, and he couldnt do anything about it as he had to defend against my other spells and attacks. Slowly but clearly, I was doing sothing as his movents started to slow down while mine continued on strong. With even the lava under my control, I was making sure he was resisting even against mother nature herself!
But, if I were to give this fight my all, then I still had a few more things to show this knight.
[Now!]
Kashoo!
Urk! Larent groaned as his sword arm suddenly stopped moving from being entangled by tendrils of dark. He was too focused on that he forgot I had a companion!
[Fighting against a tar ans fighting against a number disadvantage!]
What?!
[Master, now!] It was Rajah. My virigress was hidden inside my shadow all this ti, awaiting for my command to strike when I needed him to.
Attack!
Lava burst from the ground, forming into hands as they grabbed Larents legs while I shot my scales out to wrap them around his arms to prevent him from reacting to kicking his chest. It unbalanced him, giving the chance to activate my rocket boosters.
Spark Crescent!
With crimson infernos cloaking my glaive and tail, I twirled my body around, landing a deep cut into his chest armor before using the heavy montum to shoot out a two-handed cut with my glaive right against his head, causing sothing to crack before sending him up into the sky.
I activated my boosters again and blasted off, tackling him as I readied myself to slam him into the ground like a cot. The velocity of our flight sped up more and more and when it reached the limit I wanted, I flew right down towards the ground. I was sure, this would defeat this guy, or just outright cripple him at the very least. He should be strong enough to survive it and I could always heal him up later on.
At this point, I knew I could win
but.
Urgk! Krah!
At the very last mont, he punched my throat, breaking through my armor in the process and causing to gasp for air. He grabbed onto and threw my flight off-balanced, causing the attack to fail dramatically as I was the one to land directly onto the ground instead of him.
As per usual, my cot strikes always left behind a massive fla explosion and a crater, although due to the imperfect attack, everything was smaller than usual. Thanks to Shiternos blessing, I didnt receive any damage from the attack since I was immune to my own fire attacks.
The landing itself did hurt a bit, but I used [Volcanic Blaze] at the last mont to just move the lava into a cusion, subrging myself in it. Using the magma to move , I swam up to the surface before my white flas healed my throat and repaired my armor.
Haaaaa, huh, haaaaaaa! Bated breaths, no, it sounded more like soone was trying to breathe after running a marathon.
I turned around to the sound, noticing Larent standing up, heltless. I looked down to his feet, noticing his boots had broken apart, probably from my glaive attack, before staring back at his face, covered completely in sweat.
Hes overheating!
Haaaa, haaaa! Realizing he was being cooked alive, he tore off his damaged chest plate, throwing it onto the lava floor where it began to dissolve like his helt. My tail attack left a deep dent and gash in it, so it might have been hard to breathe with it on.
Incredible! He said after a few seconds of breathing, before reaching his arm out, activating the rune on his gauntlet, retrieving his sword as if he was a telepath. He wiped the sweat on his brows and beard away before smiling at fiercely. I am still not strong enough to destroy a Territory with my strength alone, hahahohoho. Let us continue, Lady Hestia!
This battle junkie.
He actually survived all those hits without a problem. I couldnt even see any blood on his head after I hit him with my glaive. How sturdy, or, what sorta trick did he use to shield himself like that?
You have granted imnse courtesy by showing off your abilities. Now, I must do the sa. With a deep breath, he lowered his stance, tightly gripping his sword horizontally. Now, allow to show you how I managed to earn my spot as a Hand of Heaven. Now you face Auegors Blade!
A chill ran down my spine once again as I felt imnse pressure coming from him, not through his [Terror Aura] or sothing, but it felt like his mana was trying to choke out. I activated [Mana Eyes] and was forced instantly to squint as I showed his mana accumulating around his blade, giving it an extrely thin and razor-sharp edge.
When I deactivated the skill, I couldn't see it anymore. Pure mana, the mana flowing in the air and everywhere was usually invisible without a proper skill or tool to look at it. However, unlike Fargryneills version of accumulating pure mana, Larent was using the mana inside his body, instead of his surroundings.
First Form:
Verdammt! Here it cos!
Strik!
His sword imdiately began to glimr blue, revealing the large mana blade it created. But, for so reason, my [Foresight] and [Danger Perception] didnt activate in Larents direction. It told to dodge what was coming from behind .
[Master! Turn around!]
Huh?
Rajahs [Dark Tendril] shot from my shadow, tugging to the side where I saw what he wanted to see. A cowled person with a mask, arcing their arm around as they aid their dagger at my head. Where did they co from!?
e!
But before they could hit , the air rumbled as a blue blade descended down in between us, cleaving the ground and shooting out a humongous ethereal blade. It blasted away from the wind pressure alone, launching about 200 yards or so away. Midair, I managed to catch the view of the person wielding that attack Larent.
And as I was rolling on the ground, I heard an ear-throbbing explosion in the distance. When I looked at it, I saw the mana rupturing a large portion of the battlefield. The explosion was so large, it would have probably been big enough to consu three copies of .
Waaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!
I gulped. I wasnt so sure how to compare it, but the blast probably was smaller than what I could produce with [Solar Flare]. It definitely seed weaker than the attack I did on that demonkin during the Griffonpeak attack, but it wasnt like I wanted to get caught by it either. If I were hit by that thing, I would have probably been kicked out of the match before I could heal myself.
Eye for an eye, huh? I guess I almost did the sa to him with my cot dive.
Trembling a bit from his attack, my curiosity took hold of as I flew back, wanting to know what exactly happened there. The mont I ca close enough to hear his voice, I heard him shout, Rat! How dare you interrupt our duel, assassin!
As the dust around him settled, I saw that sa cowled person from before rearing his head around, showing off the skull mask he was using to cover his face. His whole attire was completely black, looking sleek and tactical like what a covert operative would wear.
A wicked, hook knife was in their right hand and a swordbreaker was in their other. From what happened before, it seed like they tid their sneak attack right as Larent was about to launch his attack, almost as if they were trying to take down with a suicide run. I couldnt detect them, not even in the last mont when they launched their attack. If werent it for Rajah pulling away in the last second, helping dodge their attack
This was, without a doubt, one of the twelve. But even worse? I couldnt even feel their presence at this very mont. It was like they were air, a ghost.
How long have you been watching our match? Larent asked and I wanted to ask the sa. It seed he also only noticed the cowled man when they were about to attack .
This was probably the reason why his attack just missed like that. Larent was too skilled to miss an attack while I was standing still like that, so he most likely redirected it to hit the assassin. Only, the latter seed to have to dodge it.
No answer? Larents irritated voice was clear to hear through the comntary of the announcer, which I had driven completely out of my mind, too focus on anything else but the two people before . My lady, I call for a ceasefire. I do not take kindly to lurking rats like them.
Larent readied his sword and I did the sa with my glaive. I had no reason to decline. I could not only get rid of another contender, but I also felt extrely uneasy around this guy. That attack he did had no killing or malicious intent at all, but for so reason, my instincts and my skills told if that had connected, I would have regretted more than just losing a tournant.
Ooooh, Auegors Blade and Crimson Scaled are teaming up! Ahh, what a death wish! Interfering in an honorable duel like that is like asking for an execution! the announcer comntated and we did just that.
We readied our weapons as we eyed the cowled person, only for them to suddenly point at sothing behind them. And that sothing was the lone castle in the middle of the battlefield, suddenly letting out black smoke as it slowly turned in our direction.
What?!
Oh, but we have to turn away, blood enjoyers! There is sothing I cannot believe is happening right now! Castle Fatalisa is moving, and alllllll Yeosians know what this ans! The dragonator! The crowd erupted in cheer. Who was it? Who is controlling this beast? Oh, the ingenuity, the resourcefulness! The Acid Killers brothers were the ones to unlock the secret of this mighty weapon! Wait? What?
What?! Why didnt you tell this earlier?!
What?! Why did you allow such a thing to be useable for a match! What rubbish is this about fair match and so one when soone can kick you out with a an instant one-hit-kill?!
In other words, this numbskull of a god decided to add sothing that could break the balance of a match purely cause he thought it was cool?!
Idiot! Fuck! I accidentally cursed a god before rocket boosting myself towards Larent, grabbing hi torso before creating a ball made from scales around us.
My lady?! He was flabbergasted, but I could explain everything after we escaped the morbid-looking giant cannon appearing out of the castles walls. The black glow growing inside the barrel was causing my chest to tighten up.
[Volcanic Blaze!] And I dived right into the lava with Larent as the sound of death shook the entire dungeon
Territory deactivated
Today I learned, even competent-sounding gods had a sliver of whoops, I forgot in them.
