Chapter 984 The Frustration Of The Young Earth Dragon
-----
(Drake POV)
I saw my father do his best. He defeated Boulder gloriously. He did what he could, and ended collapsing afterwards… I saw his true self, and I can't help but…!
I can't help but…!
"Feel like I have not done enough myself! ROOOARRRRR!!!"
With all my might, I roared with fury. I saw my father collapsing there. This damned and wicked game of a colosseum, just to amuse these bastards that kept bashing at him even after he won.
Just for this damned Jotun who is reluctant about giving me a little push to awaken her stupid bloodline! I feel like punching that dan old hag in the guts!
But for now, I've got this enormous obstacle in front of me.
Amethyst!
She's small, and completely covered on jewels and crystals.
You would think that because of her size and her appearance, she's some fragile magic user that flies very fast or something, right?
But her powers go beyond that. Not only the jewels growing over her entire body can fire lasers of light, they can also exert an electromagnetic field that works like a Gravity Domain, constantly obstructing my movements and pushing me around like a ragdoll.
And as if that wasn't enough, her jewels can grow to an enormous size and constantly emerge anywhere she wants as they grow constantly! And those imbued with divine power are as hard as diamond! Is she also a Rank 8 Dragon like me?!
The difference in power level between Rank 7 and Rank 8 is enormous! If I hadn't evolved and reached Rank 8, I would be mincemeat right now before her power. I can't even use my wide variety of divine abilities, nor my divinities, and I can't call for my Divine Living Weapons either.
The only thing I can rely on is my own body and Unique Skills!
I've been using Immortal Body to tank her hits, but she's getting too powerful now, as if each passing second she becomes more fiercer. Has she not gone serious this entire time or something?!
My other unique skills such as the System don't count completely, after all divine abilities, even if part of the system, are banned anyways. Divinities too. My system can give me skills, but they also are divine abilities now! What I can use is mortal-level elemental magic, by combining it with my ice… divine magic is also possible, apparently there's no problem with that, as long as it is not assisted by a divine ability.
But somehow, unique skills are not banned, right? So then… Can't I use Spirit Creation as a Unique Skill?! I've been thinking it for a while as I fought, but the more I thought about it, the more I imagined it would feel like cheating to them, and it might even provoke more anger from the crowd and that old hag of Jotun, who will think I am bringing the help of spirits because I am too weak to do anything myself.
So… I'll have to just go hard on using my body to fight, even if I am torn apart, even if I am constantly suffering in pain! I can turn my body into slime to block some attacks and even let the crystals get past me, but divine crystals are different than the normal ones, if they touch me, they still deal damage to me even in my slime form.
This is tough… but somewhat, I feel like I am slowly evolving.
This type of training is what I really needed right now, especially to awaken the Draconic Arts that were hidden within the depths of my body potential.
"What are you standing in there for?!" Amethyst roared furiously back at me, her small body unleashing countless crystals and rays of light, impacting me. I tried to evade some by covering my entire body with my Draconic Aura, but that amounted to nothing, as she surpassed my speed and pierced my body with divine crystals.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
"Nngh…!" I roared in fury slowly tearing apart my flesh to free myself, as the crystals shattered to the shockwaves of my Draconic Aura.
"Hmph… Dragon King you say? You're nothing but an overgrown lizard that doesn't know his place!" Amethyst angrily said. "Your father might had defeated Boulder and you might had defeated the idiot of Iron, but that doesn't mean anything! You're nothing! You don't deserve the respect of us Earth Dragons, you don't deserve the respect of anybody!"
"…"
"Can't say a single word? I guessed so! You can't even muster a good response to me…" Sighed Amethyst. "I should had been the chosen one. I've been training all my life, growing stronger all my life, fighting with powerful foes, protecting innocents… what have you even done yourself?! Who have you helped?! How have you tried to change this world?! I should be the Dragon Queen… Not you! NOT YOU!"
"Who have I helped?" I asked.
Quickly, several glimpses of my memory emerged one after the other. Since I was reborn in this world that I've been trying to find my way through it all, I've been trying to find a reason to live, a reason to keep surviving so much.
Until I found Benladann and then everybody else… I've always done my best to try to help others, although always while trying to keep myself from overdoing things… I've never truly liked to act like a hero, unlike this little girl who got a big complex about it.
But now that I'll become the Dragon King, and I'll become a guardian of the world itself… I have to show her that I am up to the task.
By beating the shit out of her!
"RAAAAAHHHH!!!"
FLUOSH!
An enormous storm of winds combined with my Unique Skill Winter Magic emerged from my body, eternal ice began to not only cover my surroundings but the entire arena, the Primordial Ice Grimoire I've been reading this entire time quickly began to take effect, as the Primordial Ice freed me from the cage made of crystals and allowed me to reach Amethyst once more.
I pointed my fist with all my fury towards her, slamming her entire body into the ground with a single punch!
"Shut the fuck you, you stupid brat!"
CLAAAAAASSSH!
