Roar!!!
Blast!!!
One of the larger hologram dragons roared before spewing huge stream of flames to the chimeras and humonculi beneath it. Some were able to escape the assault others were not so lucky. Among the lucky ones, are the chimeras which have the ability of flight.
Given their small nature, which is in contrast with the larger dragons, the fire assault directed to them were easily evaded, and they swarmed them in huge clusters, seemingly using the power of numbers on their side to take the advantage.
Knowing the fact that they have the numbers on their side, they slowly swarmed the dragons one by one, overwhelming the integrity of the dragon's holographic defense with both strength and numbers.
Orpheus clicked his tongue seeing all these, he knows it was a matter of time before his summons got overwhelmed by the numbers of the new life's, they just kept pouring out with no end to them.
Igor stood beside him, his eyes, already filled with ire, and face undeniably ready to risk it all. Everyone around him could see it, the Emblem of Valier, the stigma in his upper arm by the left, shimmered underneath his clothes, soon a spectrum of purple light wrapped around his body.
The light glowed brightly then it soon start to dim. A beautifully colored gown was shrouded on him, runes of basic literations were inscribed on his clothing, his face was painted with a black colored tattoo that shimmered lowly in purple and extends to his neck and the remainder of his body.
In his right hand was a staff made of a very polished wood, inlaid with intricate designs, at it upper part, two orange gems of different shapes were fit into it.
One of the orange gems was large and was in the shape of a crescent, it was on top of the wooden part but not fitted directly, it was like an invisible force was holding it in place. The second gem was smaller than the crescent shaped one and was shaped like a sun that was rising from the clouds in the mornings. It was on top of the crescent shaped gem with five smaller shards hanging upon nothing still like an invisible force holding it, they were placed to portray the rays of the sun.
Around his body, inscriptions of holographic runes was swirling around him from the ground. Throughout his entire body, purple glow enveloped him, his hair became disheveled and it looks as if they were floating.
The others, including Tony stared at Igor in mesmerization, the sight before them was jaw dropping, even the marquess from afar could see the new change in him, they all were out of words.
"I.. Igor! What is this? What sort of trick did you learn this time". Larmore said out of shock.
"Where did this costume of yours come from, Igor?". Seraph questions, stunned by the look.
"Did you make another breakthrough?". Barbara asked with a smile on her face.
Orpheus and Tony's mouth were still opened wide still in disbelief with Igor's upgrade.
Igor gave a twisted smile and replied:
"All this while, I believe we've been using magic very customarily, the way we do our spells, how we cast them is very much like like what an ordinary scholar could do and archive even without the powers of Valier aiding us ".
"Though Valier's powers gave us a boost in the strength of our magic spells and also help us to quickly breakthrough in stars, not to talk about the fact that it made us the first people to surpass the nine star, I believe, we are not making to much use of his powers, we are not using it to its full potential ".
"For years I pondered on what this stigma on our body does apart from showing our connection with him, I tried channeling mana to the stigma but it didn't work until now, the negative emotions that have swelled within me, sparks negative energies which in turn awakens new powers in me ".
He masked a smile on his face.
"You would have to forgive me this time Orpheus, I'm going to unalive the marquess in your stead". Igor said, glowing brilliantly in the dark night.
