Chapter 9 - Chapter 8: The Futile Resistance

The dragon, its senses heightened, finally recognized the presence of the magicore surrounding Fafnir."F-fr-aen-err?" the dragon stammered, its voice faltering for the first time. "Ar-ree... yo-uyo... Fr-aen-err?""I don't believe it. You're here, father!" Fafnir shouted with excitement & confusion"How did this happen?""Did you guys by any chance performed an Ancient Spell?" Ingi addedAncient Spell : Ancient Spell make use of negative mana, a sinister from the Netherlands. These spells are more powerful than their normal counterparts and ignore the limits of normal magic. For example, cannot regenerate lost limbs, whereas Ancient Spell can regenerate whole upper bodies. becomes more difficult, if not impossible, to break. Creature who use this type of spells are collected in the Castastrophic Stage of the Magicore Stages because their magic defies normal conventions.Negative Mana : Magicore from the netherlands is called negative mana in the living world, due to its more sinister quality. This type of magic boosts the power and capabilities of magic spells but carries the risk of corrupting the bodies, souls, and magic of both users and victims alike; thus, its usage is classified as Ancient Spell.The amount of mana that a creature possesses within them has huge significance. It is because the fundamental strength of a creature is measured through it. When a creature possesses a high amount of magicore, any physical tasks which involve the use of magic would become easier. Additionally, creature with a high amount of magicore have a higher chance accessing high-level magic spells rather than creature with a low amount of magicore regardless of what type of Magicore Attributes they are born with.Magicore Attributes :Unlike magicore that exists in nature, the magicore that is situated within every creature has a specific nature to it, known as an attribute. These attributes are one of the aspects that differentiate one creature from another. The attribute that a creature possesses is the one that they are born with.There are five major elements in the world of Norkiya: Fire , Water , Wind, Electric and Earth. All other magical attributes are derived from these five. For example, Smoke Magic is a branch of the WIND attribute, and ICE from the water attribute. Over the centuries, some cultures have developed unnatural or the so called "irregular magic attributes", like BloodBarrierSpatialGravity, Dark and Time Magic.<< There are 5 Magicore Stages >>1st Stage as the Highest and 5th Stage as the Lowest among the stage; But there's an exception: Catastrophic StageCatastrophic Stage, The Catastrophic Stage can be seen as separate from the magicore stages, as it mainly refers to how destructive the magic is. Users who wield magic like this, that defies standard conventions of magic, find themselves in this category. Catastrophic stage creature have power that can not be rated on the standard magicore stage tier list as far as power levels go because the abilities are too difficult to quantify compared to other magical forms. Another thing and the most important key factor of Catastrophic stage magic is that it is especially effective in fighting and defeating DEMONS and DRAGONS.Going back.."Did you guys by any chance performed an Ancient Spell?" Ingi added"Ancient Spell? I don't reca-" but before I can continue, Fafnir intervened and said, "If you come to think of it, before Dad was summoned, you said something, right, craig? he asked"Oh, yeah! I somewhat remember it now; Before this thing appeared (talking about Ingi) there was a voice who told me to summon "Ingi""Summon me, you say?!" Ingi asked with confusion"You are Ingi?" I asked"he is, Ingi" Fafnir replied while pointing at IngiI strutted down into the ground, shooked my head while scratching my head as I am overwhelmed with the situation "Man, I'm lost in thoughts right now!"Going back to the conversation happened in chapter 7 :A Special Class Demon : "for crying out loud! This really is the reason why Special Class Demon is way stronger than you all! I will find and kill that motherfucker! Kuhahaha!! " Stated with confidence while smirkingA distorted voice coming from the bottom of the Netherlands : Are you certain that you can kill him or should I say them, Astaroth?A Special Class Demon named Astaroth : Kehhh! Ye-yes. My Lord! I am certain.A distorted voice coming from the bottom of the Netherlands : Very well.. If that's the case, then go, find THEM and bring THEM to me at all cost. You know me, I do not accept failures. A Special Class Demon named Astaroth : As you wish. Let me prove myself to you, my lordWhile Astaroth is on his way now to locate craig's location, the distorted voice coming from the bottom of the Netherlands muttered, "So you survived, huh?! I'll make you pay this time. i'll kill you with my own hands, Fraener!!!!!"Going back to the present eventI strutted down into the ground, shooked my head while scratching my head as I am overwhelmed with the situation "Man, I'm lost in thoughts right now! besides, what with this Ancient Spell? like a broken magic thingy?""Ancient Spell is formed using negative mana and coming from Netherlands. Ancient Spell holds risks towards the user as it could corrupt or worst break the user's soul after performing one spell. That's why it is common in the Netherlands as they have no souls already.""And there's only handful of creature I know that is capable of performing it with its maximum capacity without worrying about the drawbacks. And come to think of it, I think you are weird." Ingi added"weird? how so?" I asked"I can certainly sense that you are somewhat a drago-on but not dragon. You are but you're not. And to think of it, fraener's aura seemed decrease greatly. Don't tell me.. You guys performe-ed..""Yes, father, things happened I died. Luckily, I found a human who is capable of handling my dragon soul and that's the reason as to why you sensed me that way I am just a mere fragment of what I was before." Fafnir repliedAfter hearing what fafnir said, Ingi was dumbfounded as he didn't expect what he just heard "No way.. This is unbelievable" he muttered"Do you feel anything strange, Human?" Ingi asked with uneasiness"Hmm.. nothing particular, really. I am even feel so lig--"and then, the conversation was interrupted by a Special Class Demon.The demon suddenly appeared behind craig and said "Sniff sniff. Hmm.. Wonder what this is""A demon?!! he's fast! I wasn't even able to feel his presence! Why!? just because I just got summoned? no! it is because I am just only a fragment! No mistake, this demon is a Special Class Demon!!" Ingi muttered"Human!!!" Ingi shouted"Craig!!! runn!!!" Fafnir shoutedAfter feeling the aura coming from the demon behind me, I was so scared, I turned to stone"I can't move my body.. I'm shaking" I muttered while my legs are shakingAfter realizing the situation, Fafnir & Ingi immediately made a decision. Made a decision to kill the demon on sight. Fafnir then immediately teleported grabbed craig immediately back to where fafnir was originally situated."Oh? Save your futile resistance! Kuahahaha!" Demon declared with confidence"No one will escape this, << Borderless Barrier >> " In the midst of situation, Ingi didn't hesitate to activate his skill.After the demon get trapped inside the barrier, Fafnir extended his hands in front of him and uttered "This is my entire magicore left inside me right now so it must work or else!! Eat this, you Demon! << Dragon Blast >>"Borderless Barrier, This barrier may not have a visible presence or clear boundaries, making it difficult to detect or understand. Its borderless nature could imply that it extends infinitely or permeates through different dimensions or realities and its range may bound depending on the caster.Dragon Blast, the user gathers stardust into a sphere between their hands before exploding it outwards in a beam in front of them. It's an incredibly powerful attack that no barrier can withstand and holds the potential to destroy the entire planet depending on how many magicore caster will be using on it. Its power is so great that even trying to send it to another dimension is incapable of stopping it, only slightly mitigating the damage at most." eh!! a barrier?! these dragons are good! kuahahaha! but! let me show you the strength of Special Class Demon, you jerks! << Collapse >> "The Demon is trying to nullify Fafnir's skill by activating << Collapse >>
