NOVEL WEB Chapter 1397: Intense Battles
-----
"You think that your pathetic chains can keep me for long?!"
With a furious roar, one of Fafnir's sons broke through the chains wrapping his body, as an explosion surging from his aura burned the forest around him!
BOOOM!
Amidst the flames, his body emerged, over fifty meters of height, a blue and black scaled draconic lizardman with a tall, slender figure and four wings, alongside a sharp draconic head and a single, silver colored horn on his forehead.
Blue flames were constantly being produced from his body and his aura, spreading everywhere, draining the Mana from the environment to empower himself.
As he looked around with concern, the ground started trembling.
TRUUUM!
"Hm?!"
Crack, crack…
Looking down, he noticed countless cracks beginning to spread through the ground, his eyes widened, as he attempted to escape into the skies.
And yet…
CRAAASH!
The ground beneath him shattered, as a giant swarm of hundreds of giant spiders made of black and purple energies grabbed his legs, dragging him down.
"DAMN IT!"
Fafnir's son roared angrily, his flames engulfing all of the spiders, burning them to cinders as explosions spread through the entire underground.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"BURN! BURN! BURN ALREADY!"
With an angry roar, the entire underground caves were bombarded, making everything around him collapse underground, leaving an infernal land surrounding him.
"What… What was that? Was that one of that Summoner's familiars?! But they were so strange and obnoxious- No, it doesn't matter, as long as I…"
As his eyes panicked, suddenly, the space behind him warped, rapidly transforming into a purple and black spiderweb.
And from within, eight sharp spider legs emerged.
"Huh?!"
His eyes widened, as flames quickly reached the legs!
BOOOM!
And yet…
"UGH?!"
The spider legs managed to bypass through the flames, reaching his body and piercing his scales, injecting deadly venom.
"Venom?! You think that'll work?!"
With his giant claws, he tore apart the spider legs and quickly tried to grab whoever was behind that spatial distortion, only for them to disappear!
"Where are you, coward?! Show yourself! Your venom has no effect on me… Ugh?!"
However, Fafnir's son quickly vomited blood, as he felt his vision slowly becoming blurrier.
"W-Wha…?!"
He realized the venom might actually work a little on him.
"I have to get out of here, if he doesn't want to fight then I can ask my sister to heal me!"
He quickly kicked the ground, attempting to fly away once more!
RUMBLE!
However, a second after, a portal opened above him, spiderwebs emerging amidst the void of space warped through this strange power.
And from within, someone emerged.
"Excuse me! But I cannot let you go!"
A plague doctor emerged from the spiderweb portal, with eight spider legs on his back, and a swarm of spiders fusing with his body, giving him enormous arms, grabbing Fafnir's son and crushing him into the ground!
CRAAASH!
"GAAAGGH…?!"
Fafnir's son vomited blood, feeling his guts being crushed.
"SCREW YOU!!!"
With a furious cry, his blue flames burned through Hendrick's body, his powered-up form rapidly turning into black ashes.
BOOOM!
"Hmm, it's truly troublesome, those flames..."
"Huh?!"
Fafnir's son was shocked, finding Hendrick completely fine, appearing on his left.
"But don't worry! That poison shouldn't be too slow! It should take you down in a minute or two, let's bring stronger friends then!"
"DIE!"
The draconic lizardman didn't even bother by saying his name or introducing himself, as he opened his jaws, unleashing a devastating breath attack against Hendrick.
"My, you're sure a feisty one, aren't you?"
With a smile beneath his creepy mask, Hendrick raised his hands, summoning hundreds of spider spirits and combining them into a giant mirror-like shield.
"{Abyssal Arachnoid Poisonous Armor And Weapon Summon}: {Mirroring Abyssal Spider Shield}"
FLUOSH!
The mirror shield absorbed the flames before shattering, and releasing the flames back at Fafnir's son, now turned purple and black, containing Hendrick's deadly elements.
BOOOM!
"Ugh…!"
The son of Fafnir quickly rushed towards Hendrick, ignoring the damage he received, aiming to quickly take him down so he could escape.
"Come here already! Face me, Fafnir's Fourth Son, Hekadron the Blue!"
"Fourth son, huh? I guess you're not that experienced then.
"SHUT UP!!!"
Hekadron rushed towards Hendrick, his blazing claws attacking him with deadly precision, slashing explosions engulfing the plague doctor.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
Hendrick unleashed all his Auras at once, covering his body with his spiders, molding them into armor that constantly repaired itself with more summons merging into the broken pieces.
"{Abyssal Arachnoid Poisonous Armor And Weapon Summon}: {Abyssal Spider King's Cursed Armor}"
CLANK! CLANK! CLANK!
"Armor?!"
Hekadron roared angrily, kicking Hendrick down and then up, slamming him with his tail, and then finishing his barrage of attacks with another breath attack.
"DIE!"
BOOOMMM!!!
Black smoke spread everywhere, as blue flames consumed the Mana of the environment…
And yet.
"Huhuh, that was strong, young man… I will be happy to examine your body once I am done with you."
Hendrick walked amidst the smoke, unscathed, his armor was gone though, but it served his purpose.
At the same time, four purple-colored clouds swirled around like vortexes, rapidly transforming into giant humanoid specters made of purple venomous flames and abyssal darkness…
"{Spectral Poison Elemental Summon}"
Elements, powerful Spiritual Beings that weren't exactly Spirits, but more like Monsters made of Elements themselves. After Blake shared his Divinity of Summoning with Hendrick, the Vampire attained many summoning powers, one of them was this.
"GRUOOOHHH!"
The spectral elementals attacked Hekadron, constantly swinging their claws against him, spreading noxious and cursed gases, slowing him down. The full series lives on My Virtual Library Empire (M|V|L0EMPYR).
"BEGONE!!!"
Panicking, Hekadron bombarded them with flames, making them explode one after another, but Hendrick continued summoning more and more…
"My Master's Mana has become immensely high, and it regenerates at an even faster pace. It is safe to say I can use my abilities much more freely, hahahaha!"
"SHUT UP!"
Hekadron leaped, trying to catch Hendrick, only for his prey to disappear, moving through his special Domain's powers across space.
"I'm tired of this shit! I'm going all out! RAAAAHHHH!"
Hekadron ended up being short tempered for someone that seemed to act mature before, cracks rapidly spread through his body, fueled by his rage, as his body became three times bigger and muscular, while his cracks released blue flames.
"{Dark Dragon Bloodline: Full Awakening}!!!"
RUMBLE!
Space warped, and Hendrick was forced out of his hideout, as he fell from the skies, Hekadron smiling, rushing towards him with his blazing claws.
"I'LL SHRED YOU TO PIECES!!!"
"A transformation! How fascinating! But shouldn't it be about time? Oh well, let me speed that up for you."
As the blazing claws touched Hendrick, his hand touched Hekadron's hand and…
"{Abyssal Venom Amplification}"
BA DUM!
"UGH?!"
Hendrick managed to stop Hekadron from harming him, as he saw his foe's entire body becoming paralyzed, while he started bleeding from his eyes, nose, mouth, and ears.
His heartbeat became incredibly fast, accelerating to a level that not even this draconic being could handle…
He felt his internal body constantly twisting in agony, breaking apart.
"AAAAAAAAAGGGH…!"
He grabbed his head in agony as he fell to the ground, constantly suffering terribly!
"Hm, indeed, my venom has become very strong now… Well, I better watch out, I wouldn't really like to accidentally poison someone, right?"
"…"
"Oh, he's dead already…"
Hendrick looked at Hekadron's corpse, his eyes rolled up, still bleeding from every orifice…
It was an agonizing death.
"It might have been painful, but I managed to secure your body! I am so happy!"
