[Supreme Dragon's Breath]
"What's that?" Kalya and the others were shocked when they saw the energy ball turn into a gigantic laser beam over ten kilometers.
"We must use our combined attacks to block it!" Lilith suggested. They didn't have many options in their current situation.
"Yes! We have to prevent that attack from hitting the ground! Otherwise, the consequences would be dire, and the Clorius continent might end up being destroyed!" Kalya agrees with Lilith's suggestion.
"Okay! Let's do it!" Azalia nodded, and the three girls released their powers simultaneously. They combined their strength and compressed it into a ball of energy.
[Ethereal...]
But before the three girls fired their attacks, an aurora laser beam shot out from behind them and collided with Draco's dragon breath.
Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
"Ugh!" The girls were blown away by the shockwave created by the clash of the two attacks. But before they flew too far, someone suddenly appeared and caught them. That person was Ziel, and he quickly set up a barrier to block the impact of the attack's explosion.
Azalia and the others were confused by what was happening. But before they opened their mouths, Ziel spoke first.
"I'm sorry for interfering in your battle. But I couldn't let that attack fall to the ground as it would destroy the Clorius continent. You can indeed block it with your combined attacks, but you will run out of strength and might lose consciousness afterward. That way, you won't be able to continue the battle." Tenku explained.
"No. You don't have to be sorry, Ziel. What you did was right. If you don't intervene, we will lose to him." Kalya shook her head and smiled at Ziel.
"Yes, she's right. Thank you for acting for us." Azalia nodded in agreement with Kalya's words.
"You don't need to think about it because it's just a trivial matter. Most importantly, you have to fight harder if you want to beat him. But you have to remember that you can't put yourself in harm's way." Ziel smiled and wanted to retreat to his place, but Draco's voice stopped him.
"Who the hell are you!? A native of this world can't have that much power and be able to stop my attack! If you're that strong, you can't be someone I don't know!" Draco narrowed his eyes and said seriously. He believed Ziel's strength was on par with the primeval gods after seeing how easily he could counter his attacks.
The ancient gods were the strongest beings in the universe in any dimension. There weren't many creatures that could threaten their very existence. They knew which creatures had powers rivaling theirs and couldn't be carelessly provoked. So Draco should know Ziel if he's that strong.
But no matter how hard Draco tried to remember, he couldn't recognize Ziel and was sure he had never even met him.
"Why do you have to repeat the same question? I don't have time to answer that because your fight with them will continue." Ziel replied casually and walked away from that place without waiting for Draco's answer.
"Do you want to use me as a whetstone for them? Do you think you can win against me with that power of yours? If you feel like that, then you are wrong! In this battle, I haven't used my power as a primeval god!" Draco said coldly as his face darkened after he found out why Ziel didn't confront him and let the three girls fight him.
"You will regret having had such thoughts. Don't worry. I won't kill them. But I will slowly torture them in front of you." Draco muttered, and his body suddenly enlarged. A colossal wing appeared on his back, and his hands turned into five huge claws. After that, his figure disappeared and reappeared in front of the girls.
[Five Claws of the Dragon God]
Draco waved his hand and released five gigantic aura blades like claws. His attack tore through the sky and ripped spaced apart in front of Kalya and the others. But the girls didn't panic and stood still with determined faces. They intended to counter the attack head-on.
Azalia, Lilith, and Kalya unleashed their power and fired their best attacks at the giant claws.
[Hell King's Wrath]
[Void Blast]
[Spirit Thunderbolt]
Boooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
The girls' attacks collided with the five giant claws in the sky but couldn't block it completely and were left with three claws that shot towards them.
Lilith and the others knew that their attacks wouldn't be able to withstand the giant claws. Therefore, they fired another attack.
[Spirit King Blaster]
[Flame Torrents]
[Breaking the Sky]
Boooooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmm!
Their attacks and the three giant claws clashed, creating another massive explosion and an intense shockwave. Luckily they weren't fighting in densely populated areas. Otherwise, the number of victims that fell would be dire.
Kalya and the others were knocked back dozens of meters by the impact, but Draco didn't move an inch from his position.
"Impossible! How could the women of this small world have such power!? Are you also from outside!?" Draco said in disbelief.
He has lived for millions of years and traveled to various planets in different dimensions. Draco had met one or two strong people on some of the planets he had visited, but they were far from enough to fight him. The most important thing was that the planet of strong people he met was a large and stable world.
But now Draco met several strong people at the same time who could fight to a draw with him. What made him disbelieve was that he found them in a small and weak world, unable to withstand his full strength. It would be easier to understand if Kalya and the others were visitors to the Clorius continent.
Unfortunately, they were natives of the Clorius continent. Draco had checked and confirmed that their presence was from this continent, meaning they were born in this world.
"As expected of a primeval god. At the time of the battle, you can still think about such matters. but you better not let down your guard because you might lose to us, which would be embarrassing." Kalya said indifferently and shot arrows at the sky.
The arrows exploded and turned into thousands of lightning balls that bombarded Draco. At the same time, Lilith also fired her attack. A gigantic purple pillar of fire appeared from the ground. The two girls intended to pin Draco down with attacks from above and below. But it's still not over.
Azalia appeared not far from Draco, compressed her origin power in her sword, and slashed horizontally.
[Breaking the Sky]
Azalia complemented their combined attacks and left Draco with no room to dodge. But he didn't intend to do that in the first place, as it would destroy his pride as a primeval god.
"You won't be able to hurt me with that attack!" Draco said coldly, and three giant magic circles appeared before their attacks.
[Supreme Dragon's Breath]
Draco fired three dragon's breath at once to counter the attacks of Kalya and the others.
Boooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
Draco managed to block the attacks that came at him. Not only that, but his dragon breath continued toward Kalya and the others. The destructive power of Draco's dragon breath was stronger than their attacks.
But the girls' faces didn't change when they saw the dragon's breath approaching them at high speed. Lilith and the others quickly activated defensive magic from their rings.
The ring was a God-rank artifact that Ziel made for each of the girls in the cottage. He had renewed it and made it stronger for their defense. In addition, Ziel replaced the mana and aura used in the previous artifact with origin power and changed it to an ancient god-rank artifact.
After the girls activated the artifact, a gigantic fortress of origin power formed and blocked Draco's attack.
Boooooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
The fortress shook slightly but perfectly blocked Draco's dragon breath.
"What the hell!? They even had a god-rank artifact aside from the world altar!" Draco was startled, and his face sank. He felt that fighting the three girls would be even more troublesome than he had thought. Not because they were strong but because of their terrifying energy source and artifacts. But Draco didn't have time to think about it because Kalya was already shooting her arrow at him.
Kalya's attack turned into hundreds of lightning balls and transformed into a dragon over thirty meters long.
Draco didn't dodge it and instead broke through the attack out of confidence in his defense. The long dragon from Kalya's attack dissipated into particles when it came into contact with his body and repeated dozens of times.
He kept moving at high speed and cared about it. Draco thought of killing the girls one by one since their cooperation was too much trouble, even for a primeval god like him. But then he frowned as he felt a pain in his shoulder.
"What!?" Draco noticed a wound on his shoulder. It was bigger than the wounds the girls had caused before. He didn't know when was the last time he was hurt like that. After that, a question mark appeared in his mind.
"When did I get this wound?" Draco was confused by what had happened. He remembered that he barged through Kalya's attack, and a few small dragons hit him, but it didn't hurt him. But after that, he raised his eyebrows after discovering the cause.
Kalya changed the shape of her attack from a lightning ball to a long dragon to make it easier for her to control its trajectory. So the long dragon that hit Draco wasn't random, but Kalya focused her attacks on his shoulder.
But that cannot be done with Kalya's strength alone. On a closer look, the long dragons had layers of light on their scales. It was Azalia's power that could destroy space. After receiving dozens of combined attacks from Kalya and Azalia, Draco's defense finally broke, and he was injured.
"Damn! How dare you hurt me again!" Draco roared and looked at the two girls with bloodshot eyes. But before he could move to attack them, someone suddenly appeared nearby and thrust her spear at him. That person was Lilith, and her attack targeted Draco's injured shoulder.
"Argh!" Draco winced in pain and looked at Lilith. He was caught off guard by his anger and didn't feel Lilith's presence. But that girl's attack was still not over.
[Hell King's Wrath]
Lilith released a pillar of purple flame from her spearhead. But because Draco's scales were so hard, the damage only occurred inside his body.
"Aaaaaaaarrrrrrrggghh!" Draco's roar echoed across the sky, and many of his internal organs were damaged. Lilith could deal with such powerful attacks because she used origin power.
Azalia and the others knew it would be difficult for them to give Draco a fatal blow because of his incredible defense. Thus, they had secretly devised a plan to attack him from the inside. Kalya and Azalia will attack first and make wounds on his body. After that, Lilith would fire a lethal attack from that point of injury, and their plan worked. Unfortunately, they couldn't kill Draco in that attack right away.
"Bastard!" Draco roared and punched Lilith furiously.
Spurt!
"Arrghh!" Lilith spat out blood from her mouth and was blown tens of meters away.
"Lilith!"
"Lilith!"
Kalya and Azalia cried out in worry when they saw that scene. They didn't think Draco could still unleash such powerful attacks in his current state. The two girls flew at top speed toward Lilith. They had to check her condition and hope she wasn't seriously injured.
Lilith fell to the ground, and the impact created a large crater. She felt excruciating pain throughout her body as almost all her bones were broken. Her condition was very weak, and she couldn't move her body. Lilith gritted her teeth and forced her hand to move to retrieve a small golden vial from her space storage and drank it.
Her body was enveloped in the gray light, and her wounds were healing at a terrifying speed. She slowly regained her mobility and tried to stand up. The small golden vial contains Ziel's latest potion, which can heal any wound as long as they have one breath. Ziel warns them to use it only when in a life-and-death situation, as the number is limited.
Not long after, Kalya and Azalia arrived at the place where Lilith had fallen and immediately checked her condition.
"Lilith! How is your condition!" Kalya asked worriedly when she saw Lilith's pale face.
"Are your injuries that bad!?" Azalia examined Lilith's body from head to toe.
Lilith felt warm when she saw the worry on their faces. But before she could answer, she felt the ground shake violently and the space in the sky crack. After that, Lilith heard a sound and felt terrible coercion.
[Almighty Dragon God]
