Chapter 75 - Dracotongue (2/2)
This differentiation mainly existed to see the difference in strength on paper. In a real battle, the victor was determined through their battle sense and how their powers counteracted one another.
The gap between those in the same echelon could also be quite large. For example, the huge Evil Spirit Ellis created through Black Abyss stones could easily crush the Ghostmen who were put into the same echelon.
This was also the reason why Negary had praised Hales’ techniques. As long as Ellis could complete herself, she might even be able to become an entity in the first echelon, and this level of strength was created in less than a day. Of course, part of this was also due to their arduous efforts spent in looking for a suitable target and the huge amount of resources they had paid.
Ellis’ huge skull uttered a loud scream as the interference force afforded to her by her huge mass surged forward. Connor’s half-broken body was once again struck directly and sent flying, unknown if he was dead or alive. The others could also only retreat to avoid this power.
But none of this interfered with Negary, a similarly heavy interference force flowed out of Negary’s soul and resisted Ellis’s interference force.
The golden blood continued to multiply in the air until a nearly perfect body was finally generated. Negary’s soul then entered the body and opened his eyes.
While the body remained humanoid with a face similar to Negary’s soul, the body’s skin was covered in golden dragon scales. A raised spur was present at the center of his back with a pair of slightly curved dragon horns on his head. His shoulder blades appeared to be a bit agitated but ultimately calmed down when a ganglion-like tail grew at the end of his spine.
〖 Stability is still a little bit lacking 〗 Negary opened his palm. It was undeniably clear that while in his soul form, his means were too simple and needed a physical body to provide assistance.
At this point, Negary had a lot of options for his body, such as the commonly used multi-layer viral body, or the black crow body created by the [Black Crow] germs, as well as various other bodies created by other germs, including humanoid and non-humanoid appearances.
And right now, Negary was using his unfinished dragon body, in which the dragon factor within the Soul’s blood was activated to take this dragonewt appearance. Naturally, this body was still very unstable as a lot of dragon characteristics couldn’t manifest at all, and it would collapse quite rapidly.
〖 But it’s enough 〗 Negary’s body began to exude a kind of pressure, the pressure of the dragon. This pressure acted on the surroundings to create some sort of special power as if the world itself was welcoming the dragon.
Seemingly stimulated by Negary’s appearance, Ellis sent numerous of her dried yellow hair to try and coil around Negary’s body, at the same time releasing an even more terrifying interference force.
With a wave of his hand, Negary easily severed all the hair as his interference force pushed back against Ellis. But obviously, Negary’s interference force was stronger and it directly tore Ellis’ protective interference force apart. Negary then jumped up and appeared directly above Ellis’ huge soul form.
〖 Jliost! 〗 Negary uttered a strange syllable. This ancient syllable was not a sound that the human body could make. Some sort of power seemed to have been triggered as immediately after uttering this syllable, his body began to crack and golden blood spilled from all over his body. The blood looked dull, seemingly lifeless.
The syllable and the surrounding pressure mixed together to create a miraculous change in the world itself around them. As this power manifested, it caused Ellis’ body to break apart until only a tiny piece remained, which was caught in Negary’s hand.
