Chapter 183 Lumiere Vs Imperial Sapphire Dragon? (IV)

Imperial Dragons Arc

---

(POV: Akashic Records)

From his vantage point in Vito Heights, Mojito gazed upon the distant horizon.

His eyes expanded at the sight of the colossal blue pillar of light piercing through the sky.

"Holy shit," he exclaimed. "Something big's going down over there."

Skarz grunted, his muscles tense with worry.

"I can't just stand here and do nothing," he said.

With a surge of adrenaline, he moved to rush forward, only to come to a sudden halt as an invisible barrier blocked his path.

Stellaria, her blue eyes shone with indifference.

She was seated, her back resting against a stone wall.

Her slender fingers gently twisted the surrounding vines.

"Perhaps it'd be wiser to heed Lumiere's orders," she suggested calmly.

Skarz's fiery gaze locked onto Stellaria.

"You expect me to just sit back and watch while Lumiere's in danger?" he shouted desperately.

But his concern was valid.

The intensity of Eunaria's mana had grown so immense that even Skarz?s [Magic Detect] could no longer sense Lumiere's presence amidst the overwhelming waves of power.

Determined to defy Stellaria's words, Skarz clenched his fists and reiterated his plan to charge ahead.

Stellaria merely yawned nonchalantly, as if completely unfazed.

"I'm sorry, Skarz," she murmured with a dismissive wave. "But it's not like I'm gonna let you."

Seeking support, Skarz turned to Fasit, his gaze pleading.

"Are you just going to let her do this?!"

Fasit, however, remained eerily silent, her lips sealed as if withholding a secret.

Skarz's frustration grew, and his attention shifted to Isadora.

"Lady Isadora, are you okay with this?" he implored, hoping for some kind of response.

Yet Isadora, too, chose to remain silent, her eyes fixed on Serena.

Defeat threatened to overpower Skarz's spirit, still he remained resolute.

His gaze flickered toward the ever-passive Lirien.

"You too?" said Skarz.

"...Lord Lumiere's orders matter a lot..." she simply said.

It was a tad strange how in a situation where everyone was mute, Lirien wasn't.

Calmly, Skarz turned his gaze to Mojito.

"You know I'm do—"

A shove from Mimosa urged Mojito to go mute.

After an exasperated sigh, Skarz shifted his sights to the unfolding scene.

"( Please be safe... Lord Lumiere... )" (Skarz)

...

The fierce battle raged on.

The tremendous energy emanating from Eunaria was drawn back into her, causing her to undergo a remarkable transformation.

In that pivotal moment, she activated [Dragon Soul], a sub-skill bestowed upon her through her formidable Integral Skill, 「Imperial Dragon Physiology」.

"Just my luck," said Lumiere.

There, before him, stood Eunaria, no longer a mere human but a majestic dragon of deep blue hues. Her once delicate form had now become a colossal sea serpent, her sinewy body adorned with intricate scales that shimmered under the radiant light of the blue pillar.

The dragon's underside was robust and adorned with powerful wings that spanned wide, allowing her to command the skies effortlessly. Her mouth showcased a myriad of razor-sharp teeth, her upper jaw boasting a massive, menacing tusk that protruded with an intimidating aura. A long, pointed nose extended from her face, and on either side of her head, majestic horns jutted outward.

With a thunderous roar, Eunaria's voice reverberated throughout the battleground, shaking the very foundations of reality.

"You dare to look down upon me, Lumiere?" she bellowed.

Her eyes, filled with an immeasurable rage, focused intently on Lumiere, her prey in this momentous clash.

Much like Cenis stated, Eunaria was a child.

The main goal was to confirm if Serena was Valtara's vessel and once she did, the next thing to do was capture her.

However, her anger had gotten the best of her.

Eunaria's pride swelled within her as she made the audacious decision to unleash the most formidable attack in her entire arsenal.

Like the awakening of a storm, the air crackled with an immense release of chi and magic energy.

Apex Skill 『Sea King Poseidon』 surged forth, harnessing the celestial power of the moon.

Even in the broad daylight, the four moons of Vito Heights gravitated towards the sun, obscuring its radiant glow.

All four moons aligned obediently, bending to the call of Eunaria's Apex Skill.

As if in direct response to this alignment, the moon's celestial power cascaded down upon Eunaria in the form of several potent beams of moonlight. n0vElusb.c0m

Her body became a vessel, absorbing the intense celestial energy that enveloped her.

The force multiplied exponentially as her 「Imperial Dragon Magic」 surged into action, empowered by the activation of her 『Monarch's Will』 and the sheer might of her 「Imperial Dragon's Ambience」.

Her body accelerated beyond measure, infused with a relentless torrent of energy.

Such a fusion of energy, of various kinds and unfathomable magnitudes, would have reduced any ordinary being to naught but dust. But in her dragon form, Eunaria was a distinct entity, transcending the vulnerabilities of mere mortals.

With an air of defiance and a mocking grin, she declared in a thunderous voice, "This is your end, Curse King! Lunar Feast: Cataclysm!!"

Eunaria's massive maw opened wide as her colossal wings unfurled, creating a cataclysmic vortex of energy at their center.

This orb pulsed with a potent amalgamation of celestial energy, destruction energy, magic power, and chi.

It was a culmination of all the buffs she had meticulously applied, enhancing the devastating effects of this attack.

To further fuel its potency, Eunaria drew upon her boundless well of willpower, relentless and boundless in its scope.

She could feel the raw energy building up, ready to be unleashed upon her foe. With a resounding roar, she let loose a deafening rip, a tear in the fabric of reality itself.

Instantly, the battlefield was awash in blinding white light as the chaotic waves of energy cascaded forth from Eunaria's gaping maw. The sheer magnitude of the attack was mind-boggling, its immense power consuming everything in its path.

Reality itself seemed to distort as glimpses of other worlds and dimensions flashed into view, their existence threatened by this monstrous force.

Lumiere stood frozen, his eyes widening in terror.

His doom, impending.

The colossal beam of energy surged forward, surpassing any measly attempt at evasion that Lumiere could muster. It was several times faster than light, making any hope of dodging or absorbing it utterly futile.

The destructive force of the attack deleted everything in its path.

This was his end...

However, it was perfect for 『Voracious Queen Adephagia』.

[Consuming Void]

A self-preservation mechanism designed to ensure his survival, it activated by amplifying the body readings he emitted, accelerating its own activation.

How would it save the user? By consuming any and everything into the bottomless depths of the primordial black matter— Eterna Noctis.

"Crap... I'm gonna die!" Lumiere shouted.

And then, Eterna Noctis, erupted forth from the palm of his hand.

A torrent of darkness surged forth, engulfing the battlefield and eclipsing Eunaria's reality-threatening attack.

In that fateful moment, a deafening silence fell, broken only by Eunaria's startled voice.

"It...it can't be!"

Eunaria gasped in disbelief, her golden eyes widening with a mixture of shock and horror.

The very fabric of her reality was crumbling, erased by the unstoppable might of [Consuming Void].

"No, this can't be happening!"

As it advanced, devouring everything in its path, the mountains and vast stretches of land trembled and collapsed under its relentless hunger.

Reality itself seemed to waver, the boundaries between worlds blurring and fracturing as the black matter clawed its way into the next realm.

Even the skies were not safe from its malevolent grasp, as two of the four moons bore witness to their own inevitable demise, gradually consumed by the all-consuming darkness.
