38 Hidarus Challenge Finale End : Druogg, The Dragon Slayer (2/2)

I Shall Fly, I Shall Fight, I Shall Cast Blood Sacrifice!”, I shouted passionately.

----------------------------------------------------------

For a moment, nothing seemed to happen. However, as a bright red glow quickly flashed across my body, blood began to explode from everywhere I had a pulse. I tried my best to endure, as my armor became stained in my own blood. As I began to approach the 50% mark, I felt as weak as I expected. But as I looked toward the sky, I began to be hopeful. A huge, draconic magic circle began to appear in the sky above me, as Druogg seemed to accept the terms of his summoning. As I smiled, I fell on the ground, unable to support my body weight. Hedra, after recently landing 8 yards in front of me, slowly began to walk towards me and remark on the situation.

”What is this? Suicide? Desperation? Misplaced Hope? I don't know much about Summoners but I know desperation when I see it. This shall be the end of your meteoric rise, Dungeon Master. May Hidarus Guide You In The Afterlife”, Hedra said coldly.

As Hedra finally aimed the draconic explosion spell at Jordan's head, Jordan still had final words for.

”I'm not”--cough--”I'm not sure so sure about that, Hedra”, I said weakly.

”Huh? Why is that? I'm about to obliterate you and your sword in one single move. What could you possibly be grasping hope from?”, Hedra asked.

”Well for one, we have a Dragon Slayer”, I smiled weakly.

Immediately after Jordan passed out, a man wearing Draconic Armor burst out of the sky at the speed of light. Before Hedra was able to react, Druogg immediately intercepted her and punched her in the face. The force of impact from the blow was so intense that the ground under Hedra had sunk while she was sent flying straight into the forest. Druogg was not impressed.

”Tch. I came here to kill a Dragon and all I have is a Draconic Valkyrie? Who's the prick who summoned me for this shit?”, Druogg said.

Druogg was the legendary Dragon Slayer Of Light, who came in rank variations from A all the way to S+. Dragon Slayer Light Magic is a powerful type of Lost Magic that allows the user to produce and control light from their body or surroundings. This Lost Magic allows Druogg to control and create light either from his own body or by gathering the light particles from the surrounding area. He was able to create or manipulate the light as he wished, allowing for a variety of uses in battle. However, while Druogg was a powerful unit, he was also one of the most disobedient. Dressed in Black and Gold draconic armor, he walked towards Jordan, who passed out from the blood sacrifice. As he began nudging him with his sword, Vargoz spoke with the Dragon Slayer.

”Uh...Druogg. What are you doing? You're in the middle of a battle”, Vargoz asked.

”Is that you Vargoz? The Devourer Of Souls? You're...smaller than I remember”, Druogg joked.

”Yeah, no shit sherlock. I got trapped into this bloody sword. I haven't found a way out yet so...here I am”, Vargoz stated.

”Your personality seems different though, right? You used to be a lot more brutal than this if I remembered correctly. Anyway, who's this guy next to you? A friend of yours? Enemy? Unidentified?”, Druogg asked.

Before Vargoz could explain the situation, Druogg heard a dragon roar from the forest, which immediately caught his attention. As he turned his head, he saw the Draconic Valkyrie heading straight towards him. Even from a distance, he could tell that she was fuming with rage. As the Valkyrie spoke, she began going berserk.

”Who the fuck do you think your messing with, boy?! I am a God damn Draconic Valkyrie! Look at my beautiful face! It's ruined! Do you want to die, you piece of shit?! Do you want your arms and legs to be fed to your quadriplegic body? You're going up against odds you can't even comprehend! I was going to go easy on Jordan but you...you're gonna die so painfully you're gonna wish you never touched me!”, Hedra shouted.

”Tch! What an annoying bitch! You're not even worth the air that you're breathing! What makes you think you're worthy of fighting me? Did your brain go into those nice, big tits of yours? You have a better chance of riding my shaft than killing me. It's not too late to become my woman though”, Druogg proudly stated.

”I...understand now. You are a lost soul, aren't you? You've been misguided by corrupt forces and you're unsure of how to appeal to Father Hidarus. That's fine...I'm a Valkyrie after all. I'll save your soul...by destroying it!”, Hedra smiled sadistically.

”Ew. What an ugly bitch. Have some light with your darkness!”, Druogg shouted.

As Druogg boosted towards Hedra, Hedra began removing the restraints on her magic. As she began to glow bright orange, it was clear that she was becoming serious. As Druogg reached her, he performed a two-handed sword attack but Hedra was able to block it with her battleaxe. As they were face to face, Hedra began shooting Blue Fire from her mouth. Since Druogg's armor was built around fighting dragons, he quickly became annoyed by her attack. As Druogg charged his right hand with light magic, he expressed his frustration.

”Bitch! Close your mouth!”, Druogg said aggressively.

As Druogg's fist became engulfed with a blinding light, Druogg punched Hedra in the cheek, leaving her with burn marks and sending her to the ground at the speed of light. As Hedra's bruised face began bleeding, she tried to get up from the ground. However, possessing no mercy, Druogg restricted her movement with Illuminating Whips that appeared on the ground around her. Druogg was still not impressed.

”Bad women who waste my time need to be punished severely”, Druogg said sternly.

As Druogg prepared his Ordinance spell, Hedra warned him.

”Who the fuck do you think you are, you arrogant prick! Even if you kill me, Hidarus will bring me back to life. Isn't that wonderful?! No matter what you do to me, Father Hidarus never gives up on his Valkyries. I'll just keep reincarnating over and over and over again. Hunting you relentlessly to the point where you can't even sleep. Look here, Asshole. You have hereby formally incurred the wrath of the Valkyries for your transgressions. Every corner, every crevice, every building, every tree, every single person that you'll ever meet...we'll be watching you. And when you least expect it, when you've long forgotten about this moment and rest your eyes to sleep for another day...we'll be there to kill you”, Hedra stated sternly.

”I'm the Dragon Slayer Of Light, bitch. Have a taste for the road!”, Druogg stated.

By transforming the light particles in the sky into thousands of light needles, Druogg prepared his Ordinance. With needles being imbued with a mix of cutting or explosive properties, it was clear that the move would be fatal. However, Druogg prepared an additional 'present', which was his Solar Flare ability. Generally, Druogg saved this ability for when he needed to pierce the many layers of a Dragon's armor. However, he found the Valkyrie so annoying that he didn't want anything to be left behind. As his eyes began to glow a bright yellow, he began creating a large concentration of magical energy above his head, which resulted in a sphere of densely molded light. It was essentially overkill.

”You monster...have you no shame?”, Hedra said.

”Just shut up and die already”, Druogg briefly stated.

As Druogg launched his blinding ordinance, Hedra tried her best to break free but to no avail. She shouted, cursed, and insulted the Dragon Slayer before the attacks finally reached her. However, as the Solar Flare and Ordinance finally landed, an intense and blinding blast dominated the entire battlefield. At first, Druogg was preparing another attack but once the smoke cleared, he realized that nothing was left. However, Druogg was not satisfied with the situation, despite his victory.

”Tch. What a loser. I've faced Hidarian Valkyries stronger than that. At least I finished before the sun went down. I can already feel my power draining due to the lack of sunlight”, Druogg said promptly.

Bright particles, remnants of the explosion, rained across the entire battlefield as Druogg floated down towards Vargoz. He noticed that a strange woman was holding Vargoz but she seemed to be friendly. He decided to not attack her.

”Who are you and why are you holding Vargoz?”, Druogg asked.

”I'm Hidara, the Demonic spirit stored with Vargoz in this sword. I would like to properly thank you for getting rid of that Draconic Valkyrie for us. Our Dungeon Master put his entire faith in you so it's good to see that it paid off! You have our gratitude!”, Hidara said happily.

”I would rather have some DP instead of gratitude so whenever he wakes up, tell him he owes me 7,000 DP + interest. I'm going to hit up the brothel in D2 so I'll see you guys later”, Druogg said calmly.

As Druogg snapped his fingers, he disappeared without a trace. Hidara was hoping that he would stick around to help but Vargoz thought it was a stretch. As Hidara threw Jordan over her shoulder, she slowly walked towards the Dungeon's entrance. Bose was on the battlefield moving the bodies into the range of [Absorb \u0026 Kill]. Krotos and Helora were heavily bruised but they were still in better shape than Obsidian and Briggs. Those two passed out from their injuries and were being carried by some of the remaining Golems. But despite the overall state of the Dungeon, all conscious members were smiling at their success. It was incredible odds but they somehow pulled off a magical victory. The Dungeon, whose meteoric rise caught the attention of Hidarus, somehow continued its historic run. Unknown to them, the Challenge was being broadcasted in D2, where a number of threats and opportunities eagerly awaited them.

However, as Orai came running towards them with tears in her eyes, she happily stated what they wanted to hear the most.

They successfully completed the Hidarus Challenge.
