Chapter 423: A Cousin’s Legacy.

[Music Resonation (Major)] [Lifetaker (89 Kills)] [Shield of [The Light]] [Various Spell Buffs] [Shadow Armament (Full Body)] inflicted on [Young Stygian-Scaled Fenrir, Saori Segawa]

[I leave the rest to you guys! Sis! Saori! Ellaine. Grimnir. Rajah! Shadow Pack! VifiYok!]

My head slightly glanced to the side as I heard Hestias voice enter my mind, noticing the body of a man dissolving inside the body of a house-sized spell golem made from her corrosive slime. A shiver ran down my spine as I was reminded of that little dragons nasty toxins, and how I used her concoctions in the past to perform actual biological warfare.

Even Varyas toxins hadnt reached the point of turning into an acid bath.

Regardless, seeing her being carried to the ground by Tasianna made it clear what she meant by that statement. She was relying on the rest of us to finish this battle. To end the casualties and nightmare Maagneil was causing to this city and to Grimnir!

[Leave it to us!] I shouted with everybody else as our telepathic messages were all linked to each other, so I was essentially hearing multiple voices all at once.

Leave it to us, lass! The only one who didnt give me a headache was Grimnir, as it was impossible for dwarves to gain [Telepathy] with their physical limitations.

Galg the dragonslayer was dead, so now only Maagneil and Manethala were left.

I directed my attention back to the fight on our side. While I hadnt exactly visited Inkoran-Tazul for leisure just yet, I quickly understood from Ellaines explanation that the Hub below us, as the locals called it, was where cultures foreign to this dwarven city would go to live in. In other words, elves, humans, beastmen, all those races lived here alongside their nations embassy. It was a thriving melting pot of races.

And now this splendid neighborhood had a large section of it stomped and destroyed by Maagneil. His army of gnomacotta warriors had swarmed through the walls, doing even more damage, but thankfully Hestias [Symphonie des Feuergottes] had destroyed about half of them while a good number of the remainder were culled by the local soldiers or adventurers. Still, there were plenty of them left and nobody else to help us.

Through a messenger, all non-Aurora and expedition members retreated to make way for the arrival of the actual army of the city. Ellaine, Grimnir, VifiYok, my shadow pack, and I were the only ones sticking around to minimize Maagneils destructive path. Even then, collateral damage was unavoidable, but it thankfully didnt include any more lives.

A giant earthen wall with the top glowing red hot separated the northern side of the city, while the ruins of the houses swirled around Maagneils body like an asteroid ring. The giant gundam had lost its gun barrel, but it replaced it with a hand made from floating earth, while its drill could now shoot out like a missile. In fact, this supposedly iron golem was more a rock golem at this point, with its appearance having so drastically changed it looked more like a kaiju from one of those giant monster battle movies.

Or, to be more accurate, this snapping turtle-headed golem with a shell on its back looked more similar to the Earth Elemental Emperor VifiYok and Hestia had battled. When the former told me about it, it made me seriously question what Maagneil was doing. In fact, he hadnt used that gravity attack for a while now, only relying on his impeccable control over the earth.

[Its exhausted, definitely,] KleaHatma, Ellaines archdemon of lust, commented. [But Im still sensing demonic powers being streamed through the entire construct. In fact, its polluting the elementals mana, darlings.]

[ I must stand side-by-side with this filth as our prodigies fight in our stead. What has this world gotten to?] Belzacs less than enthusiastic voice slightly distracted me. His history with the demon was clear to everybody in our party.

KleaHatma, though, could only chuckle in elation. [Hehehehahaha! Oooh, darling, only you bear a real grudge here.]

While VifiYok was ignorant of their squabbles, KleaHatma already confirmed the demonkin might have probably learned of the latter's existence when she woke up. We just didnt want to add even more fuel into the mix in case VifiYok felt it was just a misunderstanding.

Regardless, all of this information racing through my head only made me worry even more, as we didnt have access to Hestias usurpation power right now. Nevertheless, it was also our duty to be good enough to deal with this sort of situation in case Hestia wasnt around. Everybody in Aurora had trained to not rely on Hestias one-woman army powers!

GrrrrriiiiieeeeeeekaTHUNK! The grinding shrieks of rocks clashing together emanated from the gundam, filling the air with its ear-throbbing noise as it swung its arm up, pulling up the very ground that Uno and Song were using to hold him down with mana threads and [Dark Tendrils].

They hopscotched through the air with [Air Walk] before using the abundant shadows cast by the sun and the flying debris to escape into the shadow world just as gundam slammed its hand into the ground. Rock pillars grew from around the impact, but VifiYok was already handling them with Hestias glaive.

With both red lightning and fire bullets on her side, she was turning any attempt by the golem to fight back into dust. However, instead of actually dashing around too much like during my fight with her, she was riding on the back of Quatre, my fully armored fenrir. For everybody who had been fighting Maagneil since we met him in the dungeon, stamina was a huge problem, and to mitigate this, everybody was either riding on my shadow back to fight or was resting in the sidelines.

Go! Ellaine shouted as she appeared from behind a roof top while riding on Varya, using the evolved virgarcugas high agility and flexibility to bypass Maagneils attention.

When he finally caught onto her, black lightning crackled around my legs as I slingshotted myself into the sky with [Dark Tendrils]. Grimnir, who was riding on my back, climbed up to my head and held onto one of my ears as he aimed his blasthammer at the gundams chest. With an ear-piercing sound, it shot out a focused mana blast, causing some cracks but nothing else on the rock chestplate.

Grriuuuek? The golems attention was diverted.

We need a better idea, lass! Or you need to hit that thing really hard! Grimnir shouted as I got us out of the golems attack range.

I slid onto the remains of a floating Loatryxian house, before snapping my head around as I shot out six [Stygian Lightning]s at the rock asteroids the gundam threw at Ellaine, allowing her to jump off Varya and turn her arms into bloated tendrilsher newest demonic power, [Flesh Strings].

Throwing her arms forward as if she was using [Whiplash], a giant tendril flew out, slamming against the gundam before it split apart, leaving a mass of squirming flesh behind. This bit then shot out its individual tendrils, sticking themselves into anything nearby like a spider string.

This effectively replaced the [Dark Tendrils] holding it back for a moment, while also giving Ellaine lamp post-thick strings to stand and maneuver with her tentacle-like [Whiplash] and whipsword. She then snapped her head around and threw her whipsword out with their runes glowing, aiming straight at the spot Grimnir hit.

While standing on one of the flesh strings, through the slits of her armor, black tendrils escaped them as they turned Ellaines armor into muscular arms. With the single pull, she tore a ball-sized chunk from the armor off, and before it could regenerate, Ellaine twirled her whiplade to the sides and up and down, whipping the chest armor, leaving large scar marks behind.

While she didnt do any substantial damage, her role in this was to apply her [Attack Rune: Defense Ripper] effect from her weapon on the gundam, effectively reducing its vitality. All so the next person to attack could land an actual attack!

Voltaic Red: Thunderspee VifiYok charged up glaives with her red lightning, intending to land one decisive blow onto the gundams power source; however, before she could, the ground before Quatre split apart, causing the two of them to nearly fall into the ravine.

However, my garm mother and Rajah quickly came to their rescue, lassoing them back up with their [Dark Tendrils], only for train-long rock serpents to emerge from the ground to attack them. Meanwhile, gnomacotta warrior statues would shoot arrows at them.

Summoning his army to fight us was Maagneils whole shtick. The reason why I had 89 kills so far was due to this fact! Even if I were to atomize the rock golems, Maagneils Earth Elemental Emperor could just turn those atoms back into dust and then to stone to be used. All of this just to stop us from landing even one high-damaging move. Even performing a [Hadaen Dragon Thunder] or [Voltage Impact] was impossible with the number of obstructions and interferences.

[This really isnt going anywhere. We need the extra firepower like you said,] I agreed with Grimnir as we saw our next attempt completely fumble.

Then I have an idea. Grimnir jumped off my back and opened the visor of his helmet. As I questioned him on what he was planning, he pulled out his hammer and artificer pen. Im bloody giving us some damn firepower.

[We do not have time] I wanted to scold him, but Grimnir shouted back.

Then buy me time! I got a damn idea that can do something, I just need time! Without even spending a second more to discuss things with me, Grimnir went to work. However, he was about to do artificer work despite always saying his fingers were too thick for it.

Didnt he need Ellaine?

[Enough! We are already understaffed here with Tasianna and Hestia resting! The ones who fought with them against Galg are also out! We cannot lose even more]

But I was once again interrupted. I felt a signal closing in to us as my fur began to stand up in response to something worth worrying about. I snapped my head around.

[I ran an entire month away from Galg and his bastards. You think a few fights will pepper me out? I am stamina!] It was Fargryneill. I had overlooked Hestia had also mentioned her Sis when she addressed everybody. [Freikugel!]

From the sky, the kirin-dragon unicorn horn glowed up. Maagneils gundam didnt reacted fast enough as the beam of pressurized mana pierced right through its head, cutting right through any rocks trying to stop it.

Arrraaaaghhhhh!

The hole wasnt huge, about the size of a hand, but the blood and flesh spraying from it and Maagneils wailing confirmed she hit. The hole closed up and the rocks went into action to protect their master, but Hestias older sister danced around the sky as if she was a pegasus.

[Whether the sky or earth, we Kargryxmors alone are the tyrants above all others! Not even dragonslayers will take away our right as rulers!]

My gosh, killing Galg really gave her a high, huh? I grimaced at the extremely competitive kirin-dragon. Her bragging was new to me, but Hestia did describe her sister as the ultra competitive type when she met her in Elyonda. Maybe this was how her personality was before she met Galg?

But this Yes, this was exactly what I needed. Three strong hitters, one debuffer with plenty of complicated eldritch abilities, and a pack of tricky agile combatants to help us keep this thing in check. Even better, Hestias songs were still going, meaning arcane corruption hadnt gotten her yet. We were still on a clock here, but even without Grimnir, Fargryneill could carry his load and more!

[Shoyi!] I called my slime out of my shadow and had him transport Grimnir away from the battlefield, for as long as he needed. [Fargryneill! VifiYok! We need to breach his chest and take away that aberration!]

[Leave it to me!] Fargryneill exclaimed with full confidence, for her dragon paths were the perfect armor killer.

However, just like Hestia, she needed full contact for it to perform its full destructive power. From range, it was like a projectile or an explosion of mana.

You keep on the crowd control, human! VifiYok shouted. If there is one thing lusties do best, thats control with all their powers!

[Wouldnt expect anything less from a demonkin and a military girl, huh?] KleaHatma quipped, causing Ellaine to nod her head before running closer to the gundam through her flesh strings.

As the asteroid ring got stronger and it began to destroy the strings, Song immediately went to support her with her speed, while Uno and Sarasa flanked them as supporters. Uno shot out shadow flames, and while they couldnt melt the flying rocks, they blasted the stones away as if they were firey clubs. Meanwhile, Sarasa would just bulldoze through them like a charging bull.

I also joined them by using [Shadow Dash], getting behind the giant before launching [Hels Thunder] from its shadow, breaking more and more rocks around it. When it tried to turn around, it had to block a kick from Fargryneill, only to see blue seams grow on the floating rocks of its left rock hand before they exploded, learning the destructive nature of the kirin-dragon.

She continued dancing around, dodging every single projectile while shouting, [This is so much slower!] probably referencing her fight with Galg. She would also use a fire spell or let out a dragon breath here or there, but her primary job was to break through that thick rock armor of the gundam.

It was then that I asked myself why she wasnt using her Territory, but I immediately remembered how she was using it just a moment ago. In other words, it was the same case with VifiYok and me since producing a Territory demanded so much mana just to exude the aura into a wide area, large enough to do what it needed to do.

I used it twice, while VifiYok used it twice in quick succession and for a very long time. I could probably handle one more with my mana pool, but the demonkin was already dangerously close to [Arcane Fever] and [Exhaustion]. That was why she was riding Quatre.

Grrrkkkkkaaa! Rocks clashed together as the drill became active, rotating around before the gundam shot it at Fargryneill before jumping away.

The dragon was flustered, as she didnt see it being shot out before. She was running away from it as the drill acted like a heat-seeking missile, but she warned any of us against following after her, saying she could outmaneuver it as long as we used this chance to deal damage to the gundam.

They might not have grown up together, but those two sisters really resembled each other when it came to tackling the hardest task. And just like fighting with Hestia, I listened to Fargryneill and used my final cast of [Yomi] for the day.

Mana Release activated. Aura used as control unit: [True Wolven Bloodlust]. Territory [Yomi] has been established

My shadow overflowed onto the ground, turning the entire area under the gundam into a swamp of liquid shadow. I aimed my sight up, causing the shadow to stream up, only for the gundam to simply abandon its legs and levitate up. It didnt fly up at all, though, probably because that would cost too much mana.

However, its body jerked closer to the ground, causing it to turn around to see Ellaine, Uno, Sarasa, Varya, Rajah, and mother pulling him back down with [Flesh Strings], [Dark Tendrils], and mana threads. The gundam tried to attack them with rocks, but my shadow swamp quickly came to rescue by devouring the rocks, before I sent them all back, including a hefty dose of [Hels Thunder].

Gruuu! Rocks clashed as my stygian lightning destroyed its floating rock hand, allowing me enough time to latch a tendril on it to climb onto it.

Black lightning channeled from my white fur entered my front paws, allowing me to tear the rock armor in front of me off. As I was about to send a stream of lightning through the golem, the earth underneath us suddenly rose up, as if somebody pushed the crust up a bit. Flabbergasted as I saw Ellaine and the others so close, my mind went into a bit of a panic as I saw the golem was about to smash us into the ground.

I jumped off and pulled everybody into my [Yomi] and used [Shadow Dash] to get us away from the location, only for us to witness giant stone spikes rise up from the ground, destroying even more of the area. Total destruction became even more clear as the giant snakes and statues rose in size and numbers, respectively.

Once again, any attempt we made to try and bring Maagneil down failed. We couldnt get a good hit on him without something ruining our tries. I guess this was what happened when you literally had a semi-god on your side, even if the Earth Elemental Emperor was weakened.

[Hey, bastard!] Fargryneills voice entered my mind before I heard the neighing of a horse coupled with the roaring of a crocodile.

In the distance, outside of the wall and coming down the giant wall Maagneil created was none other than Hestias sister. The drill was still chasing her, but the kirin-dragon was still sliding through the air calmly as if she was ice-skating. She was aiming for the gundam!

It tried to stop her from reaching it by creating more and more walls, but she would just bust right through them, having no chance against the house-sized dragonkin. Even the rain of rocks couldnt even touch her as she breezed through them, but instead of hitting the gundam, she jumped into the sky just a few meters away from the enemy, causing the drill to almost pierce right through its chest if it hadnt stopped it.

I thought that was just another failed chance, but my mood made a sudden change for the better when I heard Fargryneills next words.

[Fire now!]

Boooooom!

The ballistas shot, hitting the gundam by its shoulder and began to pull it back. This was the second signal for the continuation of the battle, and it wasnt something Maagneil could fight back against.

Even if he tried to stop the chained bolts, mages and rangers would shoot at him, blocking his attempt while the flying units from the sky dropped down. The dwarven soldiers would engage the gnomacotta warriors and serpents, saving VifiYok and Quatre from them, allowing them to regroup with us.

Not only Hestia, but even the holy mages from the elven army shot out [Sacred Field] upon [Sacred Field] to heal as many people injured as possible. After all, the emperor was still a master of the earth even with King Fugnarus now with us to defend against it. Damages happened here and there, but this was the chance we needed.

Lass! And Grimnirs voice was our sign to finish this fight once and for all. Im done! Get me to the chest! I can short-circuit this thing even with all its defenses!

[What? How?] I questioned, but it was my mistake to do so to our resident blacksmith.

I saw Broggarts damn blueprints, did you forget?! I could never forget the details! I know how to take this down even if it shrugs off all the damage! That elemental is gaining its mana from somewhere, and it aint the air! Its from Maagneil and Broggart!

[ Got it!] I nodded. [VifiYok! Ellaine! I need your help!]

Without further ado, all of us sprang into action. With no army and more distractions to deal with, the gundam couldnt react to us when I teleported us forward with [Yomi]-enhanced [Shadow Dash]. With all of us jumping out of it, Ellaine led my shadow pack to control the golem, pulling him down and immobilizing him with all our thread-like options.

The gundam tried to defend itself, but King Fugnarus and the elven earth mages had our backs, countering whatever Maagneil was trying to do. It was still tricky since the earth wouldnt stop shaking as if we were having an earthquake, but it beat getting dropped into a ravine.

Go! Ellaine shouted before shooting out her whipsword at the chest of the gundam. Due to all the eyes, she had stopped using her demonic powers when the first reinforcements came.

Grimnir got on my mothers back, riding with her through the air while I had my [Yomi] fill the gundams whole body in shadows, preparing my attack. It was the same thing with VifiYok, as this was our coup de grce.

Once both of us were ready, Mom kicked the air and howled and sent a telepathic message to every flying attacker to retreat. They did enough! This message also stopped the archers, giving us all this single moment to end it all.

Voltaic Red: Thunderspeed Roar!

Hadaen Dragon Thunder!

VifiYok threw Hestias glaive right through the gundams chest, piercing through anything standing in front of it, while my spell targeted the cockpit of the gundam, my attempt in taking out Maagneil, or if that failed, forced him to focus on his own survival so VifiYok could finish her part.

However, there was a miscalculation. When the dust settled, our eyes widened as we saw the results of our attacks. VifiYoks attack certainly pierced through the chest, but not right through, instead, it was stuck mid-way in the torso!

No way! she shouted, baffled.

Meanwhile, the front part of the gundams helmet was reduced to nothing, revealing Maagneil showing his blackened back to us. The man fell to the side, looking like a carbonized corpse as he held onto the shards of the rebellion orb while protecting the catalyst where the elemental emperor was.

He protected his son from our attack.

B-Broggart He reached his hand downward, revealing that VifiYoks attack had actually pierced through the chest enough that we could see Broggarts hand. M-my s-son I lo-lov uuuuuuh.

His hand limply fell, dropping the orb with the elemental within it. Maagneil was dead was what I would have loved to say, but it seemed like his allegiance with the demonkins wasnt a fluke. Not only did he get that damn aberration, but he also revealed a little trick I hadnt seen in a long timethat black eldritch-making potion.

For while it didnt show on his body before his death, the moment he did, Maagneils body spasmed around until it contorted into a bundle of tentacles, horns, and bloated muscles. His tusked face roared out, sounding like the desperate cry of a man shouting, Brroooooooogiiiiert! He grabbed the catalyst, causing it to light up a golden brown, causing a voice to suddenly enter all our heads.

[My creation wishes to destroy me! I will destroy them!]

I didnt know who this was, but it didnt matter at this moment. It didnt matter what they threw at us at this point, we would not lose here!

While something like a body with arms and a head formed around the gundams ruined helmet, Elliane pulled herself closer to the chest with her whipsword before pulling out Hestias glaive. Using those two weapons, she cracked the shell even wider open while using the glaives fire and her whipswords runes to keep it open before it regenerated.

Above us, Maagneils mangled corpses was somehow able to use the catalyst, constructing a second body with a snapping turtles head and giant ram horns. Fargryneill and the other flying attackers kept it at bay, preventing it from attacking us.

This gave Grimnir just about the time to reach the chest, prompting me to climb up and use my thunder to open the chest armor even further. With [Yomi] covering it now, it was having an even harder job recovering the rocky shell.

What do you wish for most?

[Mental Attack (Moderate)] inflicted on [Young Stygian-Scaled Fenrir, Saori Segawa]

Urgk!

Right, money for your ill mother, right? You needed it so very much, right? Or, did you want all the money after everything happened?

I heard my own voice speaking to me, but it wasnt any of my thoughts at all. It felt like a foreign presence was inside my head right now, giving me a massive headache as it caused me to suddenly feel like I was reliving through some of my memories.

Of my father dying, of my mother being hospitalized and being diagnosed with depression, or my endless struggle to juggle between my college life and part-time jobs, and my search for a decent paying job. All of this culminates into me sitting on a pile of gold coins, causing my eyes to sparkle.

I-I neededBut I also wanted to be as rich as my students. I wanted to buy the clothes they all bought and bragged about. I wanted to properly pay them for a meal back then, instead of relying on them to pay for it! Argh, what is more embarrassing than having your students

[Saori!]

However, before I could fall into that pit of self-regret, I was woken up by Belzac.

[This is a mental attack. Even if you are resistant against demonic corruption through that dragon whelplings title, you arent immune to the voices! Do not fall for the aberrations last line of defense! You are a Belzac, we are the masters of mental attacks!]

A mental attack? Right, right, dammit!

I shook my head, shaking off those memories before I drew closer, only for the voices to get worse and worse. I jerked my head back, only to turn around as Ellaine expressed her worry to me.

Broggart!

Before I could explain anything though, Grimnir began talking to Broggarts body, covered up in a thick fleshy suit with skin turned to purple. He looked like a victim of [Arcane Fever].

I know you can hear me there! I know youre dead, but I know that aberration somehow maintains your memories and skills! I would know them everywhere! I know! he expressed. A fake copy would never be able to 100% replicate his skill nor his damn memories we shared! I dont know how you did it, but you were like Broggart! With Maagneil dead, you are the only who can tell me! How did you bring back my cousin!

But his question was never answered, for this Broggart was nothing more than a mana battery. Grimnir clenched his fists and held something looking like a battery up.

Ellaines eyes widened, shouting, Master, thats the battery for your blasthammer!

And you will improve on its design, Ellaine! You heard from Broggart when he analyzed the blasthammer. That is the real Broggarts skills, even if it was a fake, reanimated body! He was the real master you wanted to learn from! Grimnir handed the mana battery over to her. You and I, we can continue his legacy. We can further improve on his creation and all the blueprints we read! We can do it, my girl!

Master Grimnir

One last move, though Just like the bomb Broggart gave us! These dumb, thick fingers, might be unable to do fine artificer work, but they can still overcharge a battery and create enough mistakes to make it explode like an industrial-tier mana battery! Tears began to well up in Grimnirs eyes, causing him to grit through them. He handed her his artificer wand. But you are the only one who isnt hearing the words from that aberration. You need to, Ellaine. Please, I ask you this as a friend, please, end my cousins misery and the defilement of his body! You saw those blueprints as well.

Ellaine sheathed her sword, taking the wand from Grimnir. Maybe KleaHatma was explaining things to her, but we couldnt ask Hestia for help right now. [My Darkest Thought] would certainly reduce the strain on our heads, but her two current songs had to remain active as the soldiers around us depended on [The Heir of Hope] and [The Will to Fight and Survive] to live through this battle.

Ellaine, understanding this, nodded, before climbing into the hole with Broggarts body. The aberration started using its gravity ability, but it suddenly stopped and squirmed, almost as if it was out of energy. It didnt matter to me how this happened, but I counted our lucky stars as Ellaine successfully installed the battery.

Before it could blow up, I transported everybody away with [Shadow Dash] and disabled [Yomi], as I actually had just reached my limits after all of that, although Hestias song kept me from gaining [Exhaustion]. I fell onto the ground as the entire torso of the gundam was blown to smithereens, disappearing from sight completely as the last remains of the master artificer Broggart disappeared with the aberration itself.

With some help from Hestia, we as a group finally managed to destroy the demonic influence; however, to me, it wasnt enough. Regardless, now we knew what to expect during our next encounter with the soul cores of a prince of sin.

[Yomi] deactivated

Sadly, the fight wasnt over for we still had one more target to deal with, and it wasnt Manethala. For up in the sky, the second body of the gundam was nearly finished. Fortunately, due to losing its power source, the construction slowed down and halted completely when a [Warp Point] portal opened up right in front of the Maagneils corpse.

Hestia appeared out of it before snatching the catalyst with the Earth Elemental Emperor in it. As the corpse screamed, Hestias music completely stopped, probably because she had [Arcane Fever] with all the mana she used up. But it didnt matter, for she had done far enough already.

FIRE!

With nothing more to protect it, Maagneils eldritch corpse was hit directly by the railroad guilds mana cannon, obliterating it and the body of the second golem. With the ground littered with its remains, the rest of us threw some of Hestias holy flame grenade onto it, assuring Maagneil and any demonic bits of it was gone for good.

All of us fell onto the ground, exhausted. The battle on our side was finally over.

I will chase you down, Prince of Greed. This I swear, upon my honor as a Luedbrumdar! Grimnir mumbled after our fight had ended.

The last battlefield left was Manethala, but that wasnt my problem any longer. I couldnt fight any longer, and neither could the rest of us aside from Fargryneil. Funnily enough, that girl was an important reason why Galg and Maagneil were defeated, but she also was the primary reason for how Manethala had calmed down.

Even with Tehmrayn around, it was Fargryneill who finally revealed the true powers of a Kargryxmor who mastered [Battle Frenzy (Major)]. I wasnt fighting with her there, but everybody could hear her shout and the resulting attack throughout the city.

Dragon Paths Maxima: Tyrants Will!

Manethalas body was completely filled to the brim with mana seams from afar, to the point you couldnt see his brown shell any longer. With the blink of an eye, it all exploded, with the residue mana even destroying a portion of the mountain behind it, causing one of the two dwarven statues guarding the valley into Loatryx to collapse through the sheer impact of the attack.

A catastrophic power able to take down a rank A monster despite Fargryneill only being a rank B. Even if he was weakened by Tehmrayn and the blessed, nobody could be faulted to believe the kirin-dragon had done everything.

This was [Battle Frenzy (Major)], and one of the reasons how Kargryxmor became the Black Tyrant of the Skies. This was Hestias goal on her path as a dragon of that lineage, and her older sister just showed her a taste of that power.

[ Do not be jealous. You too shall possess a power indescribable once you are done with your Divine Quest,] Belzac tried to cheer me up, but that wasnt what I was saddened about.

I looked at the collapsed statue.

Thats your sister, Hestia. Im not paying for that.
