The view from the platform was incredible, the dark clouds came closer and closer while gold lightning sneaked through them. The man in the middle of the phenomenon was none other than Nefarious, the Chaos Dragon.
The refined man was no more and a cocoon of energy was resonating with nature and without warning, his body started elongating into a tail that did not stop growing, claws then came in pairs up to 10 and then two long necks came out from the trunk. The second head was a clone of the original one and shared the same soul, it allowed Nefarious to think twice as fast, twice as long.
The Black scale dragon coil through the air and look down the lands below, "I GAVE YOU A CHANCE TO SERVE ME, THE SOON TO BE GOD, BUT YOU CHOSE DEATH INSTEAD. THERE IS ANOTHER WAY TO GET THE ITEMS, TO LOOT THEM FROM YOUR DEATH BODY...HA HA HA… BEHOLD ...TRUE STRENGTH"
Rahz could barely make out what the dragon was saying while holding the corpse of Jazz in his hands but he knew it was the moment of truth, the dragon was ready to fight for what his beliefs so the question was, Was he?
"DAMN RIGHT, I AM" said Rahz to himself.
Everyone got ready and the Avatar of the Plaguebringer and the Avatar of Justice release their avatar forms from the get go while the other people around the platform were responsible for two things, the first to provide shields to the main force and second to throw every detrimental spell that could give them an age, from movements slows, to decrease elemental defenses, decrease strength, anything they had and most of all to control their mana.
"LET'S GO! … LET ME SHOW YOU... TRUE CONTROL OVER NATURE"
Nefarious was in the center of it all, tornados started to form everywhere in a 20 mile radius. Wherever his body extended, tornados raze everything in the area, this included the ground underneath the floating island and the sky above them. The scale was like nothing seen before, the energy was felt everywhere in the draconid lands and it caused the fighting all around to stop in their tracks.
Massive meteorite encased in chaos fire lit the sky which had turned into night while the ground froze and tried to freeze anything it touched. Elementals in the form of lightning appeared and attack the alliance members closest to them and caused havoc in the war lines.
BOOM ...BOOM… BOOM
The meteorites hit the ground and created massive craters and whoever was hit disintegrated. Rahz zig zag around the battlefield and with the unseal Apocalypse moved on top of the dragon's body and ran towards the heads. The Road on top of the dragon was not that simple, spikes that try to empale Rahz came out fast and stopped him from advancing while mutations made out of the spikes themselves came to life and attacked him.
Apocalypse cut deep into the dragon's body but it was not deep enough and with the mutations and spikes interfering with his attacks, the wounded areas were saved and Rahz didn't have an opportunity to strike the same place twice to cause irreparable damage.
Spells were flying everywhere and the majority of them that landed on the dragon were resisted but from time to time one stuck and help their leaders. The holy spells in particular had a super effect on Nefarious and this allowed Pendragon to keep one of the heads occupied while Elune kept the other.
"SHIT!! WE HAVE TO GO"
Bato looked at his new wife with questioning eyes, and she had no other choice but to elaborate further.
"I need to tell your friends how to defeat Nefarious before we all die"
"What do you mean?"
"You'll see when we get there"
In another battlefield, the third celestial beast felt the strain on nature and knew the time had come for the decisive bout and even though she had not fought alongside her brothers, this was the perfect occasion. The Water Dragon abandoned her conquest for the Ocean Island and headed towards the bonemire.
Little by Little people pop out of the portals to feel the winds from the tornados brush against their skin.
RAWR
Nefarious roared as a layer of energy illuminated his huge body and the spells all around the battlefield increased in potency, even the abominations on top of his body and the defensive spikes were sharper than before.
"GOOD!!!We made it in time, It is his first power up."said Arlen
"What do you mean?"
"He is a CHAOS DRAGON… His power increases the more damage he does, this includes destroying buildings, terrain, people, but most of all the damage he takes. In other words your friends are making it stronger"
"What do we do? GOT TO KILL IT IN ONE BLOW"
Arlen release her dragon form and took to the skies while bato rode on Xiao Niu and approach the battlefield. The appearance of another dragon alarmed the alliance forces but they soon were come down by Degark that was able to see Xiao right beside it.
"I KNEW YOU WERE A SORE LOSER ARLEN, I JUST NEVER THOUGHT YOU WOULD BETRAY YOUR OWN KIND"
SNORT…
"You never care about anything but reaching godhood and now I got myself a man, so screw you."
Rahz saw Bato and removed himself from Nefarious' body and went to meet his friend while the Chaos dragon prepare his dragon breath for the first time and target Arlen. He needed to defeat the person that could reveal his weakness to the world but in front of him stood Pendragon that activate Divine Shield and took it like a champ.
The skill was supposed to nullify any damage to the caster but the dragon breath surpassed the threshold of the amount of divinity store in the set and was able to burn pendragons skin.
DIVINE NOVA
"STOP!! DON'T USE THAT" Arnes screamed but it was too late, Pendragon wanted to hurt the dragon just as much as his skin hurt at the moment but in doing so he gave the dragon his second power up that came with a transformation.
The color of the skin took a silver hue and his size decreased by half and all the spells double in strength. Pendragon's mouth was wide open but no words came out, the new body of the dragon felt indestructible, like a wall of steel that seem insurmountable.
"TIME IS TICKING THE LONGER THE FIGHT, THE STRONGER HE GETS. WE NEED TO KILL IT IN ONE BLOW OR IN A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, IF HE REACHES OBSIDIAN IN COLOR, THE REALM IN THE SKY WILL BE NO MORE"
"How many more power ups until we reach that"
"Two more… he should be Level 60 at this point"
"HEY!! WHERE IS MY SISTER" said the newly arrived celestial beast.
CHIRP!!!!
A loud chirp came from the platform. A meteor hit the tank containing Xiao Xiānnǚ and released her but she was fairly weak.
The other celestial beast moved towards the platform to protect their sibling and transfer some of their energy to it. It was pandemonium and Pendragon was started to feel the pressure but reinforcements came in the form of the elder of the Temple of the Rising Sun that had flown while Rahz was tending to Jazz but just now made his move.
THE ENLIGHTENED ONE
A giant made out of pure ki that radiated a holy aura encased the elder at his core and stood in front of Nefarious that snorted at it. Judging by levels alone, the elder was no match for it but that was not the elder's aim. The giant made out of Ki moved and with each movement, it left the impression that it was not only one giant but many superimposed giants with thousands of hands and thousands of legs.
"Watch and learn kiddo… this is the legacy of our temple"
The giant stood really close to the two heads of Nefarious that lashed at it trying to take a bite but every time a head came close three superimposed images would pop out and deflected away. If six hands were not enough then eight would pop out, always using the most efficient number and never even hurting the dragon, it just nullify all its attacks buying the team very valuable time.
