Chapter 441 End of war
A battlefield that was full of soldiers only had corpses now. At the center, a colossal Blood Dragon could be seen looking down on everyone. It released a loud victor roar; the opponents before could be seen struggling even to lift a finger.
Its ruby, reptilian eyes scanned through the area before its mouth opened and a powerful attack charged at it. The next moment, a cry reverted the area, and the once-strong Giant Tomb Guard was on its last breath.
It opened its mouth and released multiple attacks targeting strong individuals. The Ice Giant was blasted into pieces of ice. Blood Dragon approached it and bit him, tearing apart his body, showing no mercy to the opponent who fought so bravely.
The remaining Shadow Soldiers were also eliminated by it and forced to return to the Orb. Its eyes fell on the white tiger, who was still in good condition.
The next moment, both clashed with each other. Blood Dragon was mighty; his attack carried the power to one-shot his opponent, but his opponent was very nimble. His attacks were also lethal and dealt a lot of damage.
Nothing was decided for a while; they just kept fighting. It was then that suddenly, multiple chains appeared from the area around the blood dragon, clad in a purple light.
It tried to dodge, but they were just too fast for the tired Blood Dragon. They merged together and formed giant hands that held the opponent in place. The next moment, six tall, five-meter-tall pillars appeared around the Blod Dragon, holding it in place.
'Swish', Swish','swish'
Countless chakrams flew out of nowhere, striking the Blood Dragon all over its body. The initial strikes were bearable, but after two seconds, the damage added up, and the injuries of the Blood Dragon worsened.
The moment the pillars disappeared, the eyes of the Blood Dragon fell on its opponent. It was a humanoid figure covered in strange black armor. Four wings burst out of his back. A purple flame could be seen in place of its eyes.
It disappeared the next moment and appeared close to the blood dragon. It started attacking the blood dragon all over its body with its attacks before retreating. It was then that the Whaite Tiger released a roar.
A golden glint appeared in its eyes, and its sword also started shining in the same light. The Blood Dragon felt as if something was not right. It tried to dodge, but a golden, blurry figure bypassed him the next moment, appearing behind it.
'Boom!' the small explosion of the strike appeared after a while. The Blood Dragon released a loud roar, and a small blood fountain appeared on its neck. It looked at the opponent in hate, wanting to chew its alligator.
However, the multiple chains appeared again. Forming into giant hands and holding him in place, a chill ran through the beast's spine the next moment. It tried to dodge but was not able to react in time.
A human figure appeared behind it, holding onto a spear covered in a 'Frost Storm. He used the third technique of Frost Nova Art. Frost execution, the Speared pierced through the neck, and a large cry reverted to the area.
The attack was still not enough to kill it, but the impact of the Ice Element could be noticed. Blood Dragon's moment was getting slower. This gave Rishi and Sheru better opportunities to deal multiple blows.
Other companions also joined, and with time, the injuries of the Blood Dragon got worse. At last, it released a final angry roar before turning into a red mist and disappearing.
Its retreating momentum was so capable that it left no traces. Rishi and the others sighed. The shadow wings and armor faded away, and his real body appeared. He fell to the ground, sitting comfortably.
This battle was tough; he had suffered a lot, and his body was barely able to continue. He looked at the scene around him and had no words. He could not sense any sign of life besides himself and his companions.
"I have become too cocky again; I could barely survive. I need to spend more time on getting stronger; this much is not enough."
"I was forced to burn a large amount of my shadow energy to enter that form and defeat the opponent; I also realized the need for shadow art."
He slowly stood and appeared near the Lizardman Tomb Guar. He took out a spear and finished it off before using 'Animate Shadow, and as he had guessed, he could not turn it into a shadow creature.
"Could it be because it came from the shrine? He didn't know the reason, but he was able to guess that his spell may not work on every creature. It's good to know its limits."
He called back all his contracted beasts before he started to move toward the Shadow Shrine. As soon as he appeared in front of it, he noticed that a strange phenomenon was taking place. The whole Shadow shrine was lit up in white and purple light, and as he entered it, he could sense that it had become bigger, and the presence he felt there had also increased.
He could notice small patterns all over the pillars that made it more detailed; they shone brightly and gave the shrine a better appeal. Next, he noticed that the water in the pool had changed, and its effect had also increased.
It made his body stronger, so he carefully washed himself. His wounds also started recovering. Its wattage was now dark blue, suggesting a change in it.
After he had washed himself and recovered fully, he put on the robe given to him by Raven and started moving forward. He noticed that the statue of the Lord of the Shadows had also changed a little.
Physically, it was identical to its previous shape and size, but the presence it released was completely different. He could feel that the whole shrine was filled with joy, as if celebrating his victory. 'You have done well, boy.
He turned and saw Raven approaching him. He praised him, and they started discussing the expansion of the territory. He suggested to Raven that he needs a break; they can proceed slowly.
"Raven I also want to increase the size of the territory, but I feel like I am not strong enough for that. The strength of the opponents keeps increasing, and I am feeling like I can't do much. It's time I advanced to the epic stage and increased my strength.
'You can do it; I am not forcing you. It will take some time for me to capture this territory. Once it is complete, this territory will be under our control. I also witnessed the battle and know what you are talking about.'
They discussed some more things, and Rishi was about to leave when he heard, 'Did you forget about the gift I promised you?
Rishi felt a painful cold touch on his back. It was as if someone were carving something on his back with a sharp, cold knife. After some time, the pain stopped, and the runes entered his body.
'Remember to explore it slowly; this will take some time, but you will realize how useful it is.'
