Chapter 1051 Mechanized Chaos Dragon!
-----
(Drake's POV)
In front of us, the last boss that Greenwood had prepared to beat us when we were completely exhausted had showed up. Something that I could had not really expected to show in such a form, especially because Benladann herself, the one that's supposed to be able to detect them, was unable to detect the entity approaching. It seemed that either Greenwood somehow was able to negate the Miasmic Aura it held or did something else to bring it here very quickly.
The entity before us barely resembled the monster we fought back then in the Frost Tower, but it held such enormous power, if not enhanced thanks to the Technomancy converged into its entire body. This monster was known as Ragnarök, the corrupted Primogenitor Dragon of Light, Asgard, who was parasitized by a Primordial Chaos Spirit that originated from the Chaotic Realm.
An enormous and frighteningly strong entity, which was, in the past, divided into fragments, pieces of itself which were then sealed by the Great Demons and other allies, including the other Progenitor Ancient Dragons, sisters of Asgard. Ragnarök's sealed parts have revived by themselves over the history of this world, freeing themselves to cause destruction and chaos.
However, most of the time, the Venerables of each Era have been able to put a stop to them, sealing them once more. The Frost Queen was able to seal one, the very one we defeated with Benladann and everyone else. We never thought we would see yet another one of them so soon.
Its shape was different from before. The dragon now resembled a serpentine monster, having two pairs of gigantic bat-like wings and three snake-like heads, with not just two fangs but several serrated fangs which were used to chew and tear apart prey. It didn't lack limbs though, as it had three pairs of enormous arms with sharp claws. It resembled a chimeric monster, more than the Ragnarök Fragment we fought in the Frost Queen's inheritance.
"That's a Chaos Dragon Fragment!" Miranda said in surprise.
"But it is weird and metallic… it is merged with that idiot's technomancy thing?" Benladann asked.
"Yeah, most likely." I sighed. "Nonetheless, this thing's means business. We have to somehow kill it as fast as possible. The longer we let it fight, the longer it will spread its miasma and even more, it might end up destroying the entire Heaven Port!"
Skadi and Uller floated at each of my sides, as Belle quickly emerged atop my head.
"That thing looks strong, do you think the strategy we used against Gluttony could work?"
"I don't know, dragging away its soul might not do it. The Soul itself is infested with that Primordial Chaos Spirit… the best method is weakening that thing so much it can't move for a few seconds, so Benladann can absorb it. Ragnarök cannot be destroyed as easily. I would rather feed it to Benladann too, so she can grow stronger." I sighed. "Benladann, do you think…?"
"I can do it dear, don't worry." Benladann seemed motivated. "I did it once, I can do it twice."
"Good… Then…?" I looked behind me, as Alma, Hermes, and the enormous Root showed up as well, ready to join us. "I guess we are not fighting alone."
"You guys want to join us?!" Benladann asked. "It is too dangerous for you guys!"
"We want to fight! Even if we can't do it directly, let us support you." Said Alma. "My Magic can do a lot of things."
"Me too, my wind and space magic go well together, I can do a few tricks to help you." Hermes said. "It is the least I can do for the one that saved my life!"
"It is a rather rushed introduction, but nice to meet you, Drake. It is not everyday you see a fellow dragon." Root said. "However, we cannot really spend the day leisurely. I can fight in the frontlines; I am confident on my regeneration abilities. Let me join you."
"Fine, fine!" Sighed Drake. "But you guys' better stay out of the way, coordinate yourselves around our movements! And well… [Divine Soul Forging]!"
FLAAASH!
I quickly buffed their souls power using Divine Soul Forging, as I prepared them for what was to come. Benladann and Miranda were rather concerned they were joining the fray, but it wasn't as if we could just send them away now that things had come to this.
As long as they keep their distance, they could act as good support or even small distractions so we can get our foe better. However, Greenwood seemed confident on his victory, as usual, despite confronting all of us together.
"What a lovely reunion! I never expected these two groups of annoying rats to one day join together… But well, it might be better to just crush you both while I am at it! Chaos, don't go easy on them. My greatest creation so far, destroy them, and don't leave a single thing behind. Not even this land! Cover it all with miasma!" Greenwood ordered his enormous, mechanized chaos dragon.
"ROOOOARRRR!"
The enormous three-headed atrocity roared loudly, emanating an enormous aura of darkness that spread across the skies, turning them black and red in mere instants. I had already conjured Ice Scale Divine Armor on everybody to protect them from miasma's toxicity, but even then, its enormous pressure was great, big enough to make us falter for slight seconds.
However, I wasn't the same as before.
"Benladann, follow me from behind with Miranda, I'll charge ahead with everything I've got! You lot, stay behind and support!" I roared.
"Drake, I can fight in the front lines as well! I was made to cleanse miasma, believe me!" Root protested.
"Tch, fine! But stay out of our way! …And if you die, don't blame me!" I roared, flying forward by flapping my wings once, an enormous burst of speed allowed me to reach the mechanical terror in a split of a second!
CRAAAASSSSSH!
