Previously:

The color drops from my face when Hikari nails Leo in the chest with her tail and he goes flying into the wall. Thank G.o.d that I didn't fight this lady.

I walk over to Leo as he is planted in the wall and I say...

(Alderam) - "Meet my...my...my..." I struggle to get it out because I just can't say it.

(Alderam) - "...Wife Hikari."

(End)

_______________________________________

Man, five years can really change a man considering that I was scared s.h.i.+tless when I first saw Hikari's status but spending five years with somebody makes you grow close to each other. Looking past her...interesting...personality, she is very nice and is more than just a lonely freak.

[A/N - Don't worry guys, this isn't turning into a romance novel and I'm not doing a harem]

Oh s.h.i.+t, I totally forgot about the guy on the wall. To be honest, I don't know if he could've survived it or not considering that he still isn't out of the rubble after 30 seconds.

I turn around for a brief second and see a pa.s.sed out Hikari behind me.

Well s.h.i.+t, there goes my trump card against this dude. She has been pus.h.i.+ng it for five years and pa.s.ses out now of all times when I actually say it?

I hear a noise near the rubble and turn back around to see Leo getting out with messy hair and severely cracked armor.

Well d.a.m.n, that is some plot armor if I have ever seen it (No pun intended). He should've died from that and you are telling me that he is able to move after that?

(Leo) - "You d.a.m.n reptile, I'll make your deaths painful and slow!

As he screams at the top of his lungs, he shoots light everywhere and starts to set the trees and wildlife on fire while I cover my body as to not get hit. Hey, I am fast but not as fast as the speed of light.

(Alderam) - "You're going to burn down this entire floor!"

(Leo) - "Why should I care!?"

(Alderam) - "Okay boomer."

Leo is totally blood l.u.s.ted right now and doesn't have the energy to keep repeating the same phrases anymore like 'imma kill u for your bad tone to me'. Did the author really not have the ability to write the character differently?

(Author - I'm 10 seconds away from Thanos snapping you.)

Okay sorry, but back to the main event. I feel a slight burn on the side of my body as even though I am not weakened by the holy element and am this strong, I still can feel his attacks.

My stats outcla.s.s him by almost double, but he has way more experience than me which will give me a decent challenge.

(*Nightmare*) - "Hey ram ram, let me fight. I haven't fought anyone strong recently and would like to take a crack at him. I really haven't been relevant in this story since we were fighting the spider queen."

(*Alderam*) - (Sigh) "I need to fight this guy alone because he is the b.a.s.t.a.r.d that hurt my adopted mother. You can become more relevant later after I take out this guy."

(*Nightmare*) - "Wait wh?"

Nightmare gets cut off as I get hit from the side by Leo and slide a few meters back. d.a.m.n, that hurt. Even though I have really high defense, I still got a pretty large 'scratch' on my side from his sword.

I immediately use [Size Manipulation] to make myself smaller to become more agile and fire a [Darkness Breath] at him, but he swiftly dodges to the side and hurls a light spear at me. It seems as though he knows that he can't win against me using his dark attribute.

I use my tail to smash the spear upward which creates a smokescreen around us. Good thing that it is night time on this floor, so I don't have to use my sight to find him. I rush towards his direction and he surprisingly dodges me.

d.a.m.n, he is using his senses as well. I thought about [Darkness Heal], but that would only heal him as he now controls darkness. I decide to start to spam [Air Slash] as it has a wide range and doesn't cost very much magic.

He uses his sword to clash with them and he bends his body back and starts to move his mouth around.

s.h.i.+t, he is doing THAT, isn't he?

(Leo) - "[Sage art Storm Release: Light Fang]!"

He spits a light speed loogie at me and right before he fires it, I enter the ground as it is night time, so [Darkness Eater] saved me from some crazy spit attack. It seems as though my abilities are even faster considering that I have evolved and it is night time. I entered the shadow about a half of a second earlier than I previously did.

Thank G.o.d that I knew what that technique did or that could have been really bad. I use the speed gained from the shadow and jump out at him from behind and use [Darkness Slash] to catch him by surprise, but I saw him smile and throw a spear behind him.

It seems that he predicted my move and now I'm moving too fast to dodge, so I did what I could and used my feet to block my body. As the spear connects with my feet, it disperses and all I feel is a ma.s.sive itch on my feet.

(Leo) - "What the h.e.l.l!?"

Hey Karen, how the f.u.c.k did I just block a light spear with no injury?

Answer: You no longer have a weakness to light and since you have the skill [Magic Resistance] at (SS), you received less damage. However, your defense with all of this ended up doing little to nothing to you.

Well s.h.i.+t, I always thought magic resistance was a random skill that was forgotten by the author that did absolutely nothing.

(Author - 5 Seconds...)

Whatever, I look at Leo with a deep smile on my face as I feel even more confident. No wonder why his attack from earlier only left a tiny burn on my body. The strength difference between us is too large. I was treating the fight like I was at a heavy disadvantage.

I slowly walk towards him and I activate [Dragons Might]. He can barely stand and eventually gives in because he fell to one knee.

(Leo) - "W-what t-the h.e.l.l are y-you?"

(Alderam) - "A complete loser that got ran over by a truck!"

I went into my dimensional storage and dumped all the sand I had and aimed it at his eyes.

(Alderam) - "[BLINDING SAND TSUNAMI!]"

He moves his hands up to his eyes and starts yelling in pain. Looks like sand will hurt anyone if placed in the eyes.

(Alderam) - "Since you put Parthenia into such a state. There is only one thing that fits your actions. [End of Creation]"

The skill takes the form of a pure black dragon head with a demonic face and flies towards Leo.

(Leo) - "You d.a.m.n freak [Lions Pride!]"

This skill starts to create a giant golden lion that attacks the black dragon head and our waves of force clash. They seem to be equal but you can see that mine is slowly overpowering his.

His whole lion gets eaten by my dragon and the dragon nails him full force. It absorbs the life out of him as he slowly starts to look like a ghoul and he falls over and drops dead.

(Karen) - You have gained the t.i.tle [Holy Knight Killer]

I learned to direct my skill over these years so that I could not affect the people that I didn't want to hurt. I don't even think Hikari would die if I used it on her anyway, but it was still helpful to learn none the less.

I walk up to his body and use the skill [Soul Tear] to get a skill of his before I lose the chance.

(Karen) - You have gained the pa.s.sive skill [Dark Affinity] (S) therefore making your affinity to darkness (SSS) and making all of your darkness skills improve by 25%

Sweet, but shouldn't I have gained this when evolving? Hah, must be a mistake the author made in the previous chapters.

(Author - 1 Second...)

My body goes back to its normal size and I collapse on the ground exhausted from using so many skills and using end of creation to such a degree. I start to cry not tears of sadness, but tears of relief and joy.

I curl up in a ring formation and fall asleep on the spot.

*The Kingdom of Dawn*

Three large figures can be seen in the distance that have large white wings that look similar to bones.

(Mizuchi) - "That d.a.m.n Leo made the gathering of these dragons take longer because of his selfishness and it is a shame he didn't fully ally himself with us. He could've become a G.o.d if he only joined us!"

(Katawa) - "He would've been revolting against his kingdom and that would tarnish his whole bulls.h.i.+t 'Holy Knight' status that he is so proud of having."

(Mizuchi) - "Whatever you brat. MY DRAGONS, ATTACK THE KINGDOM OF DAWN!"

The dragons don't move on his command.

(Mizuchi) - "WHY AREN'T YOU MOVING? I AM YOUR MASTER NOW!"

(Katawa) - "They are dead dumba.s.s, there must be something stopping them."

Tennin walks from behind in a large black cloak and says in a soft tone.

(Tennin) - "Move."

The dragons take flight and start to create fireb.a.l.l.s in their mouth as they get closer to the city.

*Back To the Dungeon*

A dragon slowly wakes up with hearts in her eyes and sees a black dragon sleeping on the ground and a dead human next to him.

Her eyes go back to normal as she goes up and lays right next to him with her head on his side and she falls asleep.

1 Hour later Alderam wakes up but sees a snoring Hikari head on him. He smiles and then falls back asleep.
