You have voided the slave contract
Your slaves are freed from your control until you wish otherwise.
You can call back the slaves to your service if their collar is still on their necks
Hmm, I was right in killing that bastard then, he could have just re-enslaved those that were released if I didn't…
No time thinking about that. We have a dragon to fight.
The dragon then shot something at me, I thought it was another ray of death so I didn't bother dodging which was utterly stupid.
You have been stricken with Black dragon's corruption mist.
Your body is rapidly dissolving.

There was some sort of painful ichor eating away at my flesh at a rapid rate.
I couldn't get it off so I willed the chains on my body to emerge and ignited them trying to burn away the effects of the ichor away…
It was useless…
The ichor ate away at me without ever stopping…
I could use redemption to nullify the effects but that would be just a waste of spell…I cannot beat this thing like this…
The dragon looked at my immobile and corroded state and almost grinned as it swiped its claws at me
You died!
Huh.. I missed that notification
Banished ones' Legacy activated
You, one that is far from tired of living...Rise, for your mission has yet to end
Rise if you would, for that is your curse!
A light emanated from my body, and it began rejuvenating me, my black bones reconstructed themselves and mended with flesh, skin and blood that began to refill my veins.
My heart pumped with life once again and I came back…
This time inclined not to underestimate that dragon again.
"Daiki!" screamed Haruka whose presence I just noticed.
"What the hell are you doing here!" I screamed at her "You will die if you stay here any longer.. get out of here!"
"But…" she said and right before she could continue her words two other silhouettes came into view…
"You idiots! I released you so that you could escape so why did you follow me to your death?! If I die I rise if you die you stay dead...are your lives that expendable to you?!"
The other girls looked pale, probably from the effects of the dragon's presence and debuffs…if he so wanted they would die without me being able to do a damn thing to help…god damn it.
"We are sorry…we just wanted to help…"
Said the other girls, but their help is not needed…
"You…Dare…Ignore…me" growled the dragon with a voice announcing that it was barely able to maintain its sanity.
Another ray of corrosive acid was being prepared, this time aimed at the girls who were in its way…
I willed the metamorphosing blade to change into a giant wall and it instantly blocked the shot of ichor that splashed on it, barely managing to save them from a painful death…
I willed the wall to become a giant dome that covered all three of them and jumped at the dragon while activating redemption.
Seeker of salvation
Make do with what you have
Redemption activated
60seconds duration
Why? Simple
I aim to use an interesting technique that I thought about some time ago especially against something like this.
I jumped at the dragons back and shot a soul burst, instantly followed it with a chain fist that rocked it from the back.
The dragon tried to attack while I made sure to evade the damage, I then used another shot of soul burst and disappeared from sight.
Black dragon
Level???
(Corrupt)
-88 000 blunt damage
-17600 Soul damage
-17600 Fire damage
(Stun immune)
Appearing few steps away from it I channeled soul eruption and used abyssal projection to make it explode underneath it.
The explosion of soul eruption was strong enough to shock the dragon to its core, but it refused to stumble.
I then shot an immolating fireball at it that did about a hundred thousand damage. This thing is very powerful.
I kept on attacking it with everything I had while dodging any shot that came towards me.
The girls looked to be safe within the dome created by the metamorphosing blade though I will be needing it later on.
It took 60 seconds for me to render the dragon to this state.

(60 seconds)
Good! First step cleared.
The dragon looked at me with eyes full of hate, though I think that his eyes looked like that from the start.
I willed the blade to change back this time into my arm, I needed its bonus…
Its 10% bonus to base damage is needed.
The girls were now left without protection, but I don't think the dragon will even bother with them now.
"Infernal domain!"
The darkness of the cave was overwritten by the activation of my territorial skill, the one I gained after defeating Gozu and Mezu.
Infernal domain
You have summoned hell where you stand
+200% damage to all abilities
+400% increased regeneration to stamina/health/mana
The activation of the skill has lessened the effects of the territorial skill: Glory of the dark
Another +200% damage to all abilities
The fire of hell began consuming the darkness though it was not fully nullifying it. Four pyres of flames rose while all of us were in the middle. I could feel these pyres filling me with energy for every moment, while my body began to brim with power yet this was not enough…
The girls looked to be shaken but I know that this will not affect them as I willed the flame to not harm them, they are allies for the time being.
And finally
"Overdrive!"
Overdrive skill activated!
Your body broke through its limits.
1000% increase in base power.
60 seconds
A total of 1210% increase in power combined with the addition of the stat gain set my body aflame with energy.
Right now I feel I can rival a real god of battle.
The dragon swiped at me, yet he moved slowly, it seems that this state is clearing my mind and enabling me to fully concentrate on the battle.
So I dived forward right between its claws and changed the weapon at hand to that of a giant great sword, one of four meters length and a thickness that was imposing to say the least.
I released my aura of imposing pain to increase the load on the enemy and struck down at its head.
Right between it's two horns, a strike that was able to pierce its tough skin, causing black blood to pour down while the beast howled in pain
Critical!
-1 200 000 Hp slash damage
What the hell! This is amazing! Few more hits like this and it will fall.
I went down on it again moving at speeds far surpassing this being's ability to detect and struck, this time at its back, followed by a pierce through its belly as I shadow stepped under it, landing another critical
Savagery activated and I gained even more percentage to base damage increasing the damage I dealt.
Rapid regeneration
+10% Hp/Stam/Mana regeneration for 5 minutes
Haruna seem to have a skill that enables her to buff allies…quite helpful but nothing compared to the passive of my territorial skill.
Hit after hit rendered the dragon into a critical state in a matter of seconds.
Haruka, who was now holding a broken blade, even tried to attack that beast, though frightening as it is, she still attacked without hesitation…they want to help, I just hope they don't end up dead…
The dragon took notice of her and tried to stomp her into the ground but she gracefully dodged the hit and put a lot of distance between them…it seems that her weapon has fully melted against the ichor that is now covering the beast.
I still have more time to bring the beast down. But this is a dragon, though I am powerful I have to remember that, once the 60 seconds end, I will find myself in a situation where no one would want to be.
The weakened state that follows the use of overdrive is probably going to ruin my chance at victory, and if I fall the girls will fall with me…
I changed the weapon to become a large scythe and began ravaging through the beast.
I even saw Misaka using a spell forcing the blood to poor even faster from its opened wounds… they are helpful after all.
However, right where I thought I was going to win, the finishing blow met nothing but empty space.
The being turned into smoke and my hits were not landing at all…I swiped and slashed at nothing but black smoke.
It shot multiple rays at me, in his invulnerable state while I was unable to deal a smidgen of damage.
Rays that I dodged with ease.
I then casted well of souls to try and send him down to hell only to have it canceled by some sort of factor. A notification soon followed that explained why
The territorial skill
Glory of the dark is a domain outside the known worlds, the link to hell is unable to be established.
This made me understand another thing, my own territorial skill is probably not real hell summoned here, but a copy of it…
"Soul projection! Veindir Saida!"
I summoned a person that will probably be able to help in this situation, the sacrilegious king!
He appeared in front of me, and without even asking for what I needed, he casted a spell that was an enormous ball of energy, it exploded brightening the dark atmosphere and, for only one second, the smoke materialized.
I switched the scythe to a giant curved blade, and summoned the skill Leechers from below, to which the dragon roared at as its zone was amazingly large, the hands of those that were once dead rose and latched onto the dragon while it screeched, trying to free itself.
In but a moment of distraction in which the dragon tried to fight against the ones pulling it down, I took the chance to strike down at its exposed neck. The blade shone in a green light as I infused it with all of my remaining soul energy to sharpen it even further.
New skill gained!
Soul infusion
Increase the damage and potency of all weapons by 200%
For 3 seconds
The blade glowed in a blinding light as I sent it down cutting the head of the dragon in a single motion. A green arc wave was followed it as it created a giant rift in the ground.
Overdrive duration ended
You have entered Weakened state
Redemption ended
All your mana has been depleted
All your soul energy has been depleted
Few more notification followed yet I fell unconscious that instant
It's not every day you get to slay a dragon…I wonder what the rewards will be for such a feat…
