Right in front of all of us, a clash between Ancient God-like beings was unfolded. Skadi, a supposedly ancient Frost Fairy Queen of the Continent of Elves, and Bestellen, the White Dragon. It seemed that both knew one another from the past, old rivals, or perhaps old friends. It didn't matter much now.
Skadi had died long ago, but her Spirit and Souls were saved within the Divine Realm of the Holy Spirit of Ice, becoming the Spirit's servant, until her Holy Spirit decided to give her to me, becoming my new familiar.
Meanwhile, Bestellen seemed to have weakened tremendously after a war of ancient times, his wings were torn down, his scales weakened, his body was covered with scars, and he had grown old and mad.
Whatever they used to be now didn't matter.
They were now foes.
CLAAASH!
Bestellen's gigantic divine dragon claws reached Skadi, only to break a giant wall of ice she conjured a split second before his claws were to hit her. The White Dragon gritted his teeth as he inhaled air.
"He's preparing a breath attack!" Skadi told us. "Hide behind these!" She conjured her magic again, giant pillars of ice surged behind her, as we all ran behind them a split second before a massive dragon breath was unleashed.
BOOOMMM!!!
The breath impacted the walls, as Skadi kept conjuring more and more layers, endlessly! Ultimately, the breath stopped, although the surroundings were now covered completely on silver flames. An attack that could have easily destroyed a whole country, we managed to survive Bestellen's deadly breath again.
"Cough, cough...! AKHH... My throat's all sore, dammit!" Bestellen's voice became dried as he coughed blood in pain.
He seemed to have overexerted himself with that deadly dragon breath. However, Skadi was forced to pay the price, her body was half destroyed, slowly melting into the floor as if she were simply just made of frost.
"Skadi! You're already dying?!" I asked.
"Hahah, you should be grateful I saved your life, master." Skadi laughed. "I am not dead yet, no...!"
However, she quickly flew up once more, regenerating back as I allowed her to absorb my Mana, her legs reformed anew, and all her wounds disappeared. She couldn't die so easily, not after all the Spirit Orbs I spent to summon her! This was the true power of an A+++ Rank Familiar, something almost at the same level as an S Rank Summon.
"Cough... Dammit!" Bestellen kept coughing after just a couple of seconds since his breath attack finished.
There was a window of time, while he was weakened, while he was distracted!
We couldn't waste it.
It was now or never!
But it didn't stop it.
"Ah!"
It was already too late when he realized the projectile was touching the skin of his left shoulder.
BOOOMMM!!!
A huge explosion of silver flames, darkness, and blood reverberated everywhere, the entire mountain trembled once more, making everything seem like the mountain was about to fall down into pieces.
"Aaarrgh! W-What is this?! Ugh..! DAMMIT!"
However, as the smoke dissipated and everyone stood back up, we saw it. Amidst the smoke, the White Dragon Bestellen, had a gigantic hole on his left shoulder, so big it pierced his bones and constantly poured blood down, his arm was left dangling, all the nerves and bones cut off from his main body.
"M-My arm...! Argh...! No...! I have to heal this- YOU DAMNED BASTARDS!"
Silver-colored healing light appeared within his other hand, as he attempted to connect his tendrils and regenerate his bones with a quick healing spell. Small tendrils surged, but they were having a progressively hard time healing him back together.
"Why is it not working?!" He muttered. "There's something there, blocking my healing!"
He didn't realize at first, but the wound was already beginning to slowly rot, and this was because of the powers of Gluttony's [Miasmic Necrotic Wounds]! Not only did they stop regeneration, but they lowered stats and could even cause muscular paralysis.
"You won't be able to get that arm back any time soon!"
I rushed towards him with all my strength, resembling a blur of crimson and black light.
He greeted me with a wicked smile, the pressure of his Divinity pushing me down like an ant.
Yet, I refused to be ant in front of him.
It was finally time to use it.
"{Embodiment of the Night: Camazotz}"
FLAAASH!
And my body became that of a giant.
