177 The Real Reward (1/2)
The flaming sword that is currently burning brightly in Elric's hands emitted a terrifying aura and heat. Judging from its constantly pulsating size, it appears to have the capacity to extend according to Elric's will.
It was a sword conjured using Elric's authority of fire, and the fact that all the Dragons just used a fire elemental based attack, basically contributed to Elric's power instead.
From the distance, a dual sword-wielding Dragon flew with a domineering presence before the gazing the Dragons of North, West, and Southern region, its Kings and Queens included.
”This...”
”Just what kind of Dragon is that.”
”The fire elemental presence in him alone is scary enough, now that he sculpted it into a sword, just how terrifying could he get?”
Leah could hear the mumbling of awe and fear between those who are under her. With Elric inching closer, she could also see her members slowly backing away.
”Do not be afraid! Do not forget we are the Dragons of the North, water and ice is our natural affinity. Why are you afraid of a mere flaming sword?” Leah, with an authoritative voice, managed to bring her members back to their senses.
”Now that you think of it...”
”Our Queen Dragon is right! In the face of our true ability, he won't stand a chance!”
”Let's do it!”
And without hesitations, the Dragons of the northern region started to emit a freezing aura; they are switching to ice and water-based attack! Leah saw them and was about to stop her members, but before she could do, her members had already launched their own individual attacks!
”Wait you fools!~” Leah tried to call her people but unfortunately, they were just too dumb and excited to unleash a barrage of ice and water attacks. She was about to suggest a change to the plan applying the different innate elemental properties, but before she could even finish her speech, her ignorant and excited members just started blowing on their own.
”Take this!”
BWAAAAHHH!~
”Freeze to death!”
SHAAAAAAAAH!~
BWAAAAAAH~
SHAAAAAH!~
All their ice and water-based attacks poured down towards Elric from almost all directions. The other Dragons watched with a little anticipation, while Leah was quickly contacting the other Dragon Kings of their next move.
With sharp eyes and advanced thinking, she could already tell that the attack of her members will just fail.
And as expected, Elric flexibly swung his flaming sword and unleashed a slash that sent deadly heatwaves in an arc form, melting the ice attacks along the way and creating massive steam upon contact with the water-based Dragon skills.
In an instant, the whole place was surrounded in hot steam caused by the sudden contact of fire and water attacks.
Unfortunately for them, Elric's attack did not just end there. With another quick follow up, he sent more deadly flaming arcs towards the Dragon surrounding him from all directions. At the same time, a sinister smile crept out of his mouth.
KSSSSH~FWOOOOOOOSH!~
His bright flaming sword suddenly changed its color from bright orange to deep blue!
FWOOOOSH!~
FWOOOOSH!~
FWOOOOSH!~
Like a mad sun, Elric sent down rains of the blue flaming arc that brought forth destructions Dragon could not contend against. They may be Dragons with a natural affinity with fire, but the one that Elric wields has an absolute destructive ability as it suddenly switched from bright orange to the destructive and purifying blue fire!
”Blue fire!?”
”F*ck!”
BOOOOM!
CRAAASH!~
WHAAAM!~
All the Dragons in range scrambled the moment Elric started his retaliation. They tried their best to defend, evade, and some even countered attack only to no avail. In an instant, hundreds of Dragons especially from the Northern regions had fallen from Elric's merciless attack.
AAAACKGGH!~
GRUUGGGH!~
WAAAAAHHKKG!~
The power of the Blue fire is basically the power of purification and true destruction. Unfortunately for them, aside from the natural fire Elementals, only those who have touched the realm of the Ancestral Dragon level has access to the purifying blue fire.
In terms of sheer destructiveness and heat, their bright red, orange, and yellow fire are easily subdued by the blue one, giving them no choice but to avoid or defend against Elric's attack.
Those Dragons who managed to survive had extraordinary resilience and defensive ability. There are also those who relied on their natural element while some used a defensive artifact crafted by their best crafter of their own regions.
