Chapter 1193 His limit

Far, far away from the preliminary tournament, and the champions tourney, and even the known realm, there was a White Dwarf. White Dwarfs, basically, were just dead stars that hadn't blown up after their fires burned out, and instead cooled down.

White Dwarfs were not all that uncommon, and this one too would be nothing more than another lifeless piece of rock, no different from any other in the Origin realm. Except that the 99 planets that orbited this White Dwarf were all on fire, as if there were 99 stars orbiting a planet.

The countless burning planets all around the White Dwarf made it so that it experienced perpetual daylight, and experienced incredibly high temperatures, without actually being lit on fire.

The unique circumstances around this dead star had been artificially created to serve a very particular purpose. It was an incubation planet, where dragons came and left their eggs - the ones from which they had particularly high expectations.

It was also a kind of nursery for newborn dragons, where they would be trained in the absolute basics before being sent out into the Origin realm to fend for themselves.

Yet, on this day, this particular White Dwarf was visited by someone other than a dragon. A devil appeared, not in her mundane humanoid form, but in her fully displayed devil form.

Her purple skin was smooth and lustrous, and carried a certain charm that could entice the hearts of whoever laid eyes on it. Her two, large wings, were fully opened behind her back, as if she needed them to fly, and her long, slender tail swung gently behind her, like a dancing snake.

"YOU A TRESPASSING ON DRAGON TERRITORY, DEVIL!" a voice boomed even in the vacuum of space, as a formerly invisible dragon revealed herself. Diiscover new stories at novelhall.com

Her scales were dark, like space itself, and seemed to bend light around it, helping her camouflage herself. The effectiveness of her scales was remarkable, considering the size of her body was so massive, that it hugged the entirety of the White Dwarf!

"A thousand pardon, mighty dragon," the devil said politely, a mischievous smile painting her enchanting face. "I have no ulterior motives. My name is Valarie, and I came here to claim a certain bounty. I have knowledge about where Dragonsbane will be soon."

Then Lex summoned his sword and looked at Naraka. A piece of him yearned to let loose, but then reluctantly he put the sword away.

Finding a worthy foe for his sword had turned out to be more of a hassle than he imagined. But if there was ever a place he found a worthy enemy, it would be at the tourney.

Instead, he summoned his recently acquired hammer.

It was a pretty big, double sided hammer that looked like it belonged to monsters of legend. Considering it had been used by an oversized minotaur, that actually ended up being true. What was more important, however, was that it granted Lex a boost in physical strength.

Lex looked out in front, and noticed that his little warm up had garnered a strong reaction from the abominations. Like a tide of darkness they were coming to smash down on him.

Instead, wielding the hammer, Lex smashed down on the corpse in front of him. Yet the hammer never touched the corpse.

Instead, space cracked under his mighty blow, and the cracks spread far and wide, before they began to quickly heal.

Yet why would he let them heal?

There was nothing in the description of this trial that said he couldn't destroy the whole graveyard itself, and that seemed like a much quicker way of killing all the abominations than killing them one by one.

The tide of darkness crashed down, trying to stop him, but the flaming monsters came in their way. There was no darkness that could survive the light of dragonfire.

Someone in the discord said that the previous cliffhanger was criminal, so I took that as a challenge xD
