Guild Wars

The number of attacks raining down on Draco was enough to even push normal void monsters at Rank 2 to the brink of death, but they had a hard time locking onto the fellow.

Even though he hadn't visibly equipped the Dragorugio set, it was still connected to him by soul, existing within his body. As such, he could easily summon its skills without a problem.

For the first salvo, which included many ultimate skills from the core members, Deployed Soldier was the first to strike as he went into melee range by casting his now-famous skill, Seek and Destroy. This skill teleported him in front of his target and pierced them using his blade to deal armor-piercing damage. With a Legendary sword in hand, his damage usually reached above a million!

However, Draco simply swatted the piercing thrust aside with the Dragorugio blade like he would a fly. He then pushed his palm towards Deployed Solider, using his Telekinesis from his bloodline to blast the fellow away.

Next came two simultaneous attacks from Uno and Boyd, the former on the left and the latter on the right. Uno roared and activated Resounding Taunt, an aggro-inducing skill that gathered all attention on him while he prepared to use Deflect, his class skill that could block all-out damage from a powerful foe once per day.

Boyd rushed in activating his class skill Ultra Colossus, which made him spin his entire body like a beyblade with his axe extended, creating a human meat grinder. With their tagteam, the duo was certain that they could at least deal some damage to Draco.

Unfortunately for them, this was all a wasted effort as Draco was immune to all taunts of such a nature with his mental prowess, so he simply raised a finger and sent out a Lightning Bolt made with intense Worldly Energy to strike the duo.

The moment it hit Uno, it knocked him back two steps and stunned him. If it were not for his Protection Aura passive that greatly increased his and everyone else's defenses, he would have been zapped into ash.

What was even more terrifying was that Draco had designed the spell to jump from foe to foe as long as there was still energy and a target within range, so Boyd was also zapped into a halt by the spell.

This stun was enough to decide their fates as Draco blew them both away using his Telekinesis once more, sending them crashing into the wall of the Training Hall just like Deployed Soldier who was still out cold.

The others were stunned by this, but could not recall their various attacks. Cobra, for example, had gone into stealth and rushed behind Draco while Silent Walker manipulated Draco's shadow to bind him so that Cobra could strike.

Draco simply chuckled. "Playing with Darkness element before a Black Dragon? Brave!"

Immediately, the moving shadows below him froze and solidified, making Silent Walker cough out blood from the backlash. As for Cobra, who saw that things had gone awry, he struck with his ultimate skill, Sure-Kill Strike. Just when he was about to place his dagger in Draco's back he felt the world split into two.

Cobra was confused by this at first, but when the split grew larger on the left and right, and he saw Draco's sword coated in blood, he understood. He had been cut into two pieces from scalp to groin.

Sublime Notion wielded her dual staves with which she spammed endless spells, Jada and Jade helping her out as they created a rain of fire and ice attacks to bombard Draco.

Draco created a natureless mana barrier that he kept active by feeding it Worldly Energy. It should be obvious that he could only use spells this easily and sustainably because he was combining the Cause and Effect Theory with his Void of Perfection as well as his State of Being tendrils.

With these three, the issue was no longer whether Draco could sustain a spell or how much mental stamina he had, but how long the energy in the area could sustain such use.

Since they were inside Vita City-State, their current location had Worldly Energy that was oversaturated to the point where even Aetheric Energy was present, allowing Draco to go all out if he wished to.

Draco turned his gaze to the three Ladies, and they all blanched with fear. The moment he raised his hand and pointed at them, they knew that their fates were sealed! They would be joining Deployed Soldier and co in defeat!

However, Draco was quickly interrupted by a huge fireball that hurtled over and crashed into his mana shield, practically dispersing it. His eyes turned to the culprit to see a solemn Rina who was charging up another powerful attack with the help of Flamesear.

Taking this chance, Happy Saint commanded his summoned Mental Golems to charge forth and hold Draco down while he continually spawned metallic weapons that rained down on Draco's position endlessly. Dreary Traveler mercilessly spawned the entirety of his undead army to charge at Draco crazily while he watched on coldly.

"I'm sorry my baby boy, but Aunty must do what she can for a Divine Item." Loving Aunt remarked with sorrow as she joined Jada, Jade, Sublime, and Rina in bombarding Draco endlessly.

Despite a slight frown, Draco showed no signs of worry. He simply cast his Destruction Barrier skill and made a 'rise' gesture towards Rina. This made the beauty become alert with worry, but she never expected the threat to come from below.

Immediately, a spout of water shot up from beneath Rina's feet, sending her so far into the sky that she could not be seen. Immediately, Warm Spring, who could not contribute much to this battle minus buffs, flew over to grab Rina before the fall damage would finish off the Paragon of Fire.

However, Warm Spring's face changed in horror as she felt the flapping of her angel wings come to a halt as she was dragged over towards Draco by telekinetic force with Rina in hand.

By the time they reached Draco, Warm Spring tried to let go of Rina and cast a defensive spell that her class was known for. However, this was useless as Warm Spring was cruelly cut into half at the waist by the Dragorugio sword which was coated with Destruction Energy.

Sure, Warm Spring had Damage immunity below the Divine Rank, but Destruction Energy could even corrode and ruin Origin Energy, much less this. Warm Spring died with a grievance on her face.

Rina tried to rise to her feet after being let go by Warm Spring until she felt the pull Draco use on Warm Spring land on her. Just as she was about to get pulled away, two silhouettes broke through the frontlines and reached Draco's defensive position that had staved off the undead and the golems all this while.

Kiran had activated both of his Eight Inner Gates, Opening and Healing. As such, his aura was a mixture of green and brown and he also channeled his Noble Energy to enhance his speed and strength.

Immediately, he activated his class skill Attack Rush, allowing him to unleash a barrage of punches so fast it looked like he had 1000 arms that were striking intermittently.

"Sha Sha Sha Sha Sha Sha Sha Sha!"

His attacks crashed on the mana shield and Destruction Barrier combo Draco was using to protect himself, greatly weakening the two over time. However, this was nothing compared to the shadow that crashed into the barriers from high in the sky, using a large blade that weighed a few tones to manage this hit.

The area around Draco cratered and for the first time since the fight had begun the Guildmaster spat blood from Slim Fatty's overpowered assault. With her strength, power, and the great weight of her sword plus the help of physics, she had likely dealt the most damage to Draco so far in this battle, amount to 1%.

Knowing that he shouldn't give them more time to play as Rina was safely brought back to the camp of the ranged fighters by Fitter Cleric, Draco decided to kick it up a notch.

He took a deep breath, one so deep that everyone within the training room could hear it. It was like he was sucking in all the air in the room, making them wonder just what he was trying to do.

As for Draco himself, he was trying something out for the first time. Ever since he had visualized their bloodline energy as fusion generators that were working at low capacity, he had the idea of fully activating one to provide him enough energy to perform a high-power attack.

He consciously concentrated and visualize his bloodline as such and turned one 'generator' on to maximum power to fuel this next attack. Draco almost felt like his blood was boiling and full of unlimited energy, telling him that his visualization had worked splendidly.

All this power was channeled into the technique he used next which came from his Horned Demon Inheritance, Rain of Hellfire!

It looked as if someone had ripped apart the sky above the Training Hall as a portal to a world filled with fire and brimstone emerged, a total wasteland full of screaming souls being tortured and cruel wardens pleasing themselves to the sound of pain all around them.

The core members had little time to watch that scene as many huge stones started to rain down on them. All of them were coated in a blackish-red color that burned even the air around them. The sheer amount of those attacks made every core member still alive pale with horror, as they understood that this attack signaled the end of their pitiful attempt to defeat their Guildmaster!

However, a Dragon's roar reverberated around the hall as a purplish-black Dragon opened its maw and fired out many purple orbs towards the incoming meteors. Even more crazy was the fact that the Dragon flapped its wings and phased through all the attacks to reach the portal spitting out these terrifying meteor-like stones, then grabbed each side of the portal with its claws coated in purple energy before closing it forcefully.

This forceful cancellation of his technique caused Draco to cough out even more blood as his nose and eyes bled. He ended up suffering a scary 5% damage to him just from the backlash alone!

He raised his head and gaze at the flying purple dragon with seriousness understanding that this battle had reached the climax. Even Essence Stalker, who had been watching everything silently while wondering whether to transform or not had gone all out.

Draco could easily beat everyone here, that he knew, but this exercise had never been about bullying them. No, he had allowed them to display their might before shutting them down. Against a dragon though, he couldn't maintain his current arrogance, especially one that was the same Rank as himself.

He couldn't even transform into a dragon himself as he would be forced to move from where he stood which would net him a loss.

However, was a Dragon the only form Draco could muster?

With a smirk, Draco spoke two words that sent all those who knew what it meant into the depths of despair.

"Devil Form."

His body became slimmer and more feminine slowly, his eyes softening as his white hair returned to its natural black color. His eyes also changed from bright red to pitch black, similar to Eva.

Once he made the change, Draco smiled playfully and his entire form flashed with a blue light as he immediately used Supreme Telesthesia to spread his mental domain across the entire room.

Then, he lifted everyone up using Supreme Telekinesis, even capturing their inbound spells that were hurtling towards him in midair. The only ones exempt from this were Essence Stalker as he also had a Dark Angel Inheritance - which made him resistant to mental attacks - and Loving Aunt, who Draco gently shafted to the side as a way of informing her she was out of this fight.

As for the rest? Draco crushed them together like they were a tin can, creating a horrifying scene where the blood and flesh of his core members got compressed into a ball and hurtled at the shocked Essence along with all the spells Draco had frozen in place!
