Dragon Maken War Chapter 144 - Second Coming of a Legend (7)

“Ha ha ha. I’m at a loss for words.…….”

How was Reygus able to endure the Sun Lightsaber?

It was a combination of two answers.

The Sky Splitter wasn’t the only Dragon weapon to go through a transformation. The Soul Hammer had evolved beyond the one Azell had known about. In the past, the Soul Hammer had a powerful curse that could destroy minds and souls of its opponents. It also could resonate with the earth to bring out a great destructive ability. However, this new form of hammer allowed Reygus to freely control the power from earth. Moreover, it allowed Reygus to disperse damage through the ground.

Basically, it and its armor had become a castle wall while its feet was connected to the ground.

Moreover….

“That kind of compliment… Do you think… I’ll be happy to hear it?”

The Sun Lightsaber wasn’t complete.

In the first place, there were three restrictive prerequisite he would have to fulfill to be able to use it at this point in time. He had been successful in forming and using the technique. However, he had failed at controlling it.

In his prime, Azell would have linked his other Dragon weapons to contain the energy within a specific area. It would have amplified the destructive capability to the extreme. All the after effect that had swept through the radius of several hundred meters would have been directed inwards. The shock wave and the mental wave would have been in his control as it would have destroyed his enemies within this limited region. The pressure created allowed it to exceed a certain level, and even Atein had been shocked by it. An extreme destructive phenomena was created.

However, he had lost control, and a considerable amount of energy had leaked out. It killed the effectiveness of the attack.

It sounded ridiculous, but the recent Sun Lightsaber couldn’t even muster half of its original power.

Zzuh-juhk…….

Suddenly, the sound of a fissure was heard. Then the wrist of the arm holding Azell broke.

Tul-suhk.

Azell rolled across the ground.

He couldn’t move. His body and energy pulse couldn’t function normally.

Still, he got up. He used the beat of his heart to resonate the Rings of Life to create magical energy within his body. He used his psychokinesis to keep his body upright, and the fallen Dragon sword returned to his hand.

Reygus laughed.

The winner and loser of the battle was already determined. Azell was showing admirable fighting spirit, but he wasn’t in a state where he could fight. Reygus could use his psychokinesis to hit him with the Soul Hammer. No, since its two arms were useless, a single kick could kill Azell.

It was too late for his comrades to help him. They were too far away. By the time they started to move, Reygus would have already ended Azell.

At that moment, its vision darkened.

Reygus realized it had entered a Dimensional Distortion field.

It was taken aback, but it soon realized who was the culprit precipitating this situation.

Kayalia had copied the effects of the Vitan’s Chalice. She had used the Dimensional Distortion field. When it raged, Kayalia’s white ghostlike form appeared in front of it to speak.

-What do you mean what am I doing? Can’t you tell just by looking at it?

-It isn’t like that.

-I’m just being fair. Didn’t I save oppa earlier?

<…….>

Reygus groaned at the shameless answer.

It was regretful that it no longer had hands to grip its own head. Reygus spoke.

-Wasn’t this supposed to be a one on one battle between men?

-You were arrogant. You took your time in attacking, and you almost died because of it. You would have met your end if I hadn’t saved you.

Reygus was at a loss for words. Kayalia had been the one to block Azell earlier. If it wasn’t for her intrusion, it would have died before it could truly showcase its true strength. It had allowed Reygus to see Azell’s secret card, so it didn’t have any grounds to complain to her.

-Moreover, I’m still….

Kayalia had a melancholy expression on her face as she turned away.

A quiet descended on the battlefield.

Reygus’ presence was gone as if it had been snuffed out. Everyone was taken aback at the unexpected turn of events.

Azell mumbled to himself in disbelief.

“Vitan’s Chalice……?”

It couldn’t be. He had unsummoned the Vitan’s Chalice.

‘Laura?’

He had seen Laura use Dimensional Distortion to defeat Dikal. Of course, this was the only possibility that sounded plausible to him. However, he was wrong. He could see a desperate expression on Laura’s face.

‘So who…….’

-You remain unchanged.

Suddenly, a white cloth fluttered in front of his eyes. Then a faint insubstantial figure could be seen in his vision.

‘Who is she?’

Azell thought he had heard that voice from somewhere before. He was about to raise his head when a warm touch could be felt on his forehead.

-It has been a long time since we’ve met. I’m sorry I can’t give you a proper greeting. When I see you next, my heart will have come to a decision. I’ll have decided either way by then.

At the end of her words, Azell lost consciousness. Kairen caught Azell’s falling body. Kairen faced forward as he asked a question.

“Who are you?”

Kayalia chose to reveal herself, so Kairen could see her.

If one used human standards, she looked to be a 14 or 15 year old girl. She was a Dragon Majin girl with blonde hair flowing through the air. There was a gray horn protruding from between her hair, and her ears were long. She possessed a slate-grey Dragon Magic stone on the back of her hand which was the same color as her eyes.

The weirdest part about her was the fact that she didn’t possess a body. It wasn’t an illusion sent by a magician. It looked like a ghost.

The problem was the fact that she was emitting Dragon Demon magic.

Kayalia let out a melancholy smile as she spoke.

-I was once the enemy of humans.

“Are you part of the Dragon Demon King’s army?”

Kairen’s wariness increased. He didn’t know what she was, but his instinct was giving him a warning. It was telling him that she was a very dangerous being.

However, Kayalia shook her head from side to side.

-At one time, I considered him to be my savior. That should be enough.

“What do you mean?”

-I’m not going to tell you. I’m leaving now. Please don’t waste the opportunity I have provided.

“…mmm.”

Kairen’s expression hardened, and Kayalia disappeared in mid-air as if she had melted away. Laura asked with a worried expression on her face.

“What about Azell?”

“Fortunately, it isn’t life-threatening.”

“…even in such a state?”

Leticia was taken aback. Azell had taken grievous wounds. It wouldn’t have shocked her if he died at any moment. However, there was a strangely peaceful expression on the face of the unconscious Azell.

“I also have a hard time believing it, but it is true. First, let’s get out of here then we can heal him. I don’t know the ident.i.ty of that ghost woman, but as unbelievable as it may sound, she saved Azell. The reinforcement from the Plain of Darkness will be here soon.”

Everyone knew what Kairen was talking about.

The real adversity would begin right now. They had won the battle, but the party was in rough shape. Moreover, they didn’t know how, but the Demon King wors.h.i.+ppers had a way of tracking them.

The party left behind numerous questions as they exited the battlefield. They started running towards east.

Reygus was released from Kayalia’s Dimensional Distortion field after 30 minutes. During that time, its Dragon Demon magic had dissipated, and its armor had returned to its black color. Reygus grumbled as it observed its half-recovered armor.
