Chereads / DxD: The King of Dragons / Chapter 58 - Chapter 57: A Dragon vs A Serpent

Chapter 58 - Chapter 57: A Dragon vs A Serpent

"Kuahahaha! Come on!" Mo-chan swung her blade with glee, her swings becoming much sharper due to Mordred teaching her how to become a better swordsman.

Katerea hissed as Mo-chan's violent strikes were offsetting her demonic power with equal amounts of them.

'How? She's definitely an ultimate class! My demonic powers shot up right to Satan class! She shouldn't be able to parry my magic!' Katerea was confused and frustrated.

A dragon's mana is qualitatively different. Just like how gods have divinities, making their spells and magic stronger. Dragons have extremely dense mana.

And just like divinity, it grows stronger as the individual's strength and will increase.

"Ora! Ora! What are you doing? I thought you were a Satan!? Aren't you just a delusional woman? Heh, women." Mo-chan used mana burst as her wings flapped and she appeared right in front of Katerea.

The devil was shocked, but due to her increased parameters. She was able to block Mo-chan's crackling sword.

"Slow!" Mo-chan quickly maneuvered her sword and struck her forehead with the pommel. A crack resounded in the battlefield as Katerea fell down to the ground once again, violently.

"That's gotta hurt..." Arthur who was watching Mo-chan intently due to Mordred calling her his sister winced.

"You have no idea." Ise cringed as she remembered Mordred doing that to them if they overreach with their attacks.

"Gah... You! You filthy bitch! How dare you hit my face!" Katerea stood up and if looks could kill, Mo-chan would have died thousands of times already.

"Ooh, what a nasty look you have on your face. Are you angry? Are ya? Look at your forehead, I'm sure I cracked your skull a bit. What are you gonna do about it?" Mo-chan grinned at her and Katerea roared in rage.

"Her eyes turned red, I'm pretty sure that if she gets any angrier. She'll awaken the sharingan or something." Ise wanted to see if that was true.

Black serpents coated with orange energy assaulted Mo-chan. She dodged them in the air with incredible spatial awareness. Doing barrel rolls and tight maneuvers in the air.

"Guhahaha! Come on! Faster, you're making this too easy!" Mo-chan pointed her sword at Katerea and red lightning burst out of the tip.

Katerea blocked with her barrier and she hissed at her. But she hasn't lived for centuries for nothing.

Katerea manipulated her demonic energy and the serpents that tried to clip Mo-chan in the air suddenly split into several more tendrils of energy.

"Ohh." Mo-chan's leg got caught and she was slammed to the ground. "You bitch! Take this!" Katerea tightened her hold against Mo-chan and her limbs were stretched by energy.

Katerea then threw a barrage of attacks at Mo-chan. Creating an explosion that shook the battlefield inside the barrier.

"Shouldn't you help her? Even I won't be able to get out of that unscathed if those hit me square on." Azazel was confused on why Mordred and his team weren't really doing anything.

"She's a dragon now, governor of Grigori. And we pride ourselves with our scales. She's injured, yes. But that won't take her down." Mordred replied and they suddenly saw a red beam hit Katerea.

A magic shield refracted the beam and it hit the surroundings instead. Explosions, shockwaves, and debris flew everywhere as Mo-chan got revealed.

She had steam coming from her mouth and she snorted. "I hoped that you would be able to block that." Her grin made Katerea frown as she looked pretty fine, even if her head was bleeding.

"I'll crush you!" Katerea buried her arms on the ground and Mo-chan gripped her sword.

Like geysers, demonic energy erupted from the ground at unpredictable angles as Mo-chan dodged them with her limited foresight.

"You're wide open!" She disappeared as the ground was torn asunder due to her stomp. Seemingly teleporting right in front of Katerea.

"Hah, I already told Mo-chan not to underestimate her enemies. I guess I would need to give her a harsher punishment." Mordred sighed.

"Fool!" Katerea smiled and Mo-chan was suddenly hit on the chest by a laser. A magic circle forming on Katerea's eyes.

"Guah!" Mo-chan was slammed right on her breast plate by a Satan class combatant's attack. Even though it was due to an augment. Katerea's magic reserves do not lie.

"Hmph, you are too young to beat me." Katerea thought that she was about the same age as Mordred who was still pretty young.

"Fuck, that hurt..." Mo-chan touched her breast plate that got dented and it was smoking.

"Mo-chan! Mordred told us that you'll be punished for that!" Ise tried to give her a boost.

"W-wha? Nooo! I'm trying over here! She isn't that simple you know!?" Mo-chan gritted her teeth.

"Hmph, are you all talk? Or you can only amount to that?" Katerea scoffed and Mo-chan got angry.

"Hoh? Big words for a cow that would have been beaten already without outside help." Mo-chan quipped back and her sword glowed a bright crimson.

"Clarent... Blood Arthur!" A large projection of energy escaped from her sword and she swung it sideways.

Katerea went wide eyed and she bent backwards immediately. The crackling energy of Mo-chan's noble phantasm barely missing her chest.

"Y-you, so you are still hiding some things..." Katerea glared at her and Mo-chan clicked her tongue.

"Again, that was too predictable. It seems that I have to beat it into her head on how to fight without being too obvious." Mordred sighed at her way of using her trump card.

People won't just block it or overpower it all the time. And Mo-chan was too used to people back in Camelot being all knightly and crap in battle.

The best way to not get damaged is to dodge after all, not block or parry.

"I'm not done yet!" Mo-chan flapped her wings and released a breath attack.

Katerea flew to the skies as the ground was bombarded with dense magic. Imploding, making molten rock and lava fly everywhere.

"So this is how they fight, this is insane." Jeanne couldn't help but gulp as she thought that they would be fighting people like that in the future.

"Eh, this is pretty much a low skill fight." Vali shrugged and they looked at her in surprise.

"Indeed, all they're doing is just throwing their magic around. Mo-chan isn't really used to our system yet. And Katerea is a part of the old Satan faction. She's obviously never trained in her life." Ise expounded further.

"Good girls." Mordred patted their heads as they explained it well.

"Hehe~" The heavenly dragons smiled and the peanut gallery thought that he had tamed them well.

"I can't really fault my sister for just swinging beams around. It looks cool and is pretty effective. Against weak opponents that is." Mordred sighed.

"She will need to change her deep seated behavior of trying to get the most out of the fight as well. We haven't really worked on that for too long." Mordred added and he decided to just throw her to Scathach.

Their master would definitely beat that out of her far faster than he could. Because nobody likes being stabbed. And he only did it once to show her a lesson.

It was unpleasant for him to truly try and kill them, they were his pride and joy after all.

"Ohhh, we almost forgot... Mo-chan, you can utilize the piece that our master gave you. We normally don't use it because we think it's not how a dragon should fight. But you're still considered a juvenile dragon. So it should be fine?" Ise gave her some advice.

"What piece?" Mo-chan parried another spell from Katerea as she got bombarded by tons of them. The devil had tons of mana to spare due to the black snake she used.

And Mo-chan couldn't get close because unlike mages from back home. Devils could cast their magic with but a thought. And strategies weren't her strong suit.

"Ahh, that thing he put in me? Hmph, you filthy cow. I guess it will be fine if I use a little help as well." Mo-chan called for the powers of Mordred's evil piece and she suddenly felt a boost in her agility.

Her dynamic vision got better and Katerea's attacks slowed down in her mind.

"An opening!" Mo-chan suddenly appeared right at the rear of Katerea and she slashed. The devil's barrier held on for a quick second, but it got destroyed as she couldn't pour in enough mana in it fast enough.

Her back received a cut and her braided hair got loose. "Gah! You cretin! You will pay for that!" Katerea was enraged and her magic power was released fully.

"That's it, come on!" Mo-chan grinned as large serpent constructs appeared from the ground.

They were hundreds of meters tall and everything the magic touched was incinerated. Making Mo-chan excited at the turn of events.

"This is getting dangerous, she won't be able to fight anymore if she gets hit by that." Azazel reminded Mordred.

"Hmph, do you think I'm blind Azazel? With her knight piece giving her extra agility. She will be untouched." Mordred believed in her.

Mo-chan charged in and she started dodging Katerea's attacks flawlessly. Making foot holds of magic in the air to maneuver herself.

Her arms swung her sword and the black constructs of magic were sliced by her dense mana that was concentrated on the blade's edge.

"Kuahahaha! You will fall here!" Mo-chan laughed as she slowly got closer to Katerea who was focusing too much in trying to take her down.

"You bitch! Stay still! Why won't you just die!?" Katerea gritted her teeth.

"Heh, you think this is hard!? You should've fought with my father!" Mo-chan arrived right in front of Katerea with a flap of her wings.

"Clarent..." Her sword glowed brightly and Katerea was blinded by it.

"Mo-chan! Look out!" Vali warned, but the unconscious mages of Nilrem awakened and they sniped Saber while she was in midair.

A concentrated beam from hundreds of mages hit her on the head and Katerea capitalized on it as one of her constructs chomped on Saber while she was in a daze from the cheap shot.

"Kuahahaha! You thought you would win!?" Katerea laughed and Mordred frowned.

"Come on, you should be able to do this." He gripped on his arm rest and was itching to take action. But it would be an insult to a knight's honor and pride if he swoops in now.

"Guh!" Mo-chan coughed up blood as she received heavy damage from Katerea's attack.

"Heh, hehehehe~ do you know? I killed my father in Camlann?" Mo-chan grinned.

"Hmph, you are already defeated. Good riddance, I'll kill you now." Katerea was about to will her magic to attack her in droves.

"Blood Arthur!" Mo-chan stabbed the serpent that got her in its maw and she created a foothold with magic.

She then used mana burst to propel herself forwards and stabbed Katerea with her sword that crackled with red lightning.

"It was just like that, tough luck." Mo-chan wiped blood on her face as Katerea coughed on her.

"H-how? You were supposed to be done for." Katerea was confused.

"Heh, I am a dragon now. My armor isn't only this plate mail. My scales are next to none as well." Mo-chan's plate mail that was scrapped fell off from her. Revealing her torso that had crimson scales on them.

They were peeling and all banged up, but she was able to tank Katerea's attack due to it.

Katerea kneeled down and Mo-chan stabbed her sword on the ground, posing for the victory.

"Excellent work, Mo-chan. Now, what should we do with you? Katerea Leviathan." Mordred thought that killing her would spare them the trouble. But he decided against that and would give her to Serafall instead.

Sirzechs will have a field day by having the last Leviathan as a POW. It would give the Satans more power as they would be seen as dominating the old Satans' lineage.

"Hmph, the things I do for my friends. I'm even helping their siblings now." Mordred sighed as he healed Mo-chan.

"That was cool! You were totally like a protagonist that had an ace up your sleeve. Except it wasn't the power of friendship!" Ise complimented Mo-chan.

"T-thanks I guess?" She didn't understand what she was talking about at all. So she just thanked her for the compliment.

"Umu, it was a splendid fight. Not as splendid as the white dragon empress of supremacy though." Vali nodded at her.

"Eww, tsunderes aren't cute in real life you know? You just sound condescending." Ise looked at her with disgust.

"What!? You wanna go!? Let's go!" Vali took out divine dividing.

"Yeah I wanna go, punk! Come on! I'll go Itaichi on your ass and end the Lucifer clan! Just like how he murked the Uchiwa clan!" Ise glared at her.

"I guess it was a successful operation." Mordred just smiled at them and thought that the two were too energetic.
