The Undying Mecha Emperor

With such a dangerous situation at hand, I couldn't care less about exposing myself as the owner of Devour anymore.

With a thought, I restructured my mecha into the most efficient defensive form possible.

A sphere.

A sphere would reduce the area of direct impact with the dragon breath into a mere needle point, and at the same time, it dislodged the irritating spear that was stuck in my body.

All I wanted to do at that moment was to get the hell out of that ridiculous 2-on-1 situation and reset.

PRATATATATATATATATATA!!!

I got all one thousand of my laser guns to switch to explosive projectile rifles and fired them all at the Blue Dragon's maw.

BOOM BOOM BOOOOM BOOOOOM!!!

The explosions from the projectiles were much more devastating underwater than they were above ground, and they worked extremely well to distract the Blue Dragon enough for it to stop attacking me with its dragon breath.

As soon as the Dragon Breath stopped, a great relief surged through my heart and I instantly resumed my act as a Horse Gavarel Warrior to drive the final nails into the coffin that was the deal between the Horse Gavarels and the Blue Dragon!!

"My Lord!! Why did you attack me? I have stopped its dragon breath! Quick!! Unleash your secret weapon! This is our only chance to capture it!!" I shouted with all of my heart!

Of course as soon as the Blue Dragon heard that the horsey had a secret weapon, it resoubled its attacks, and shifted them all to the horsey!

"You wish to capture me? You pathetic sea horse. Die!!!" The Blue Dragon roared furiously and unleashed its dragon breath on the horsey and its clones!

"My Lord!! I will protect you!! Run! Run away from the Blue Dragon!" I shouted as I directed my rifles to fire at the Blue Dragon's maw once more. But instead of the explosive projectiles which were so effective in stopping the dragon breath earlier, I had switched the rifles back to laser rifles!

Although they had far greater penetrating power, there were less effective in damaging the highly armored Blue Dragon than the explosive projectiles which caused a huge amount of shockwaves to enter the dragon's throat.

And as such, the Blue Dragon was able to quickly and efficiently destroy the two horsey clones!

However, killing the main horsey body was not as easy. It had immediately retreated at top speed and summoned ten more clones to confuse the Blue Dragon.

If I didn't do anything, the horsey would be able to escape from the Blue Dragon in a matter of seconds, and the battle would quickly spiral into a stalemate between us three.

There was no way I would let that happen.

I pointed at the horsey's real body which I could easily identify due to its fearsome resonance, and sent every single iota of my red energy to surge towards it in an all out attempt to crush and absorb one small but critical component in its biomech structure.

Its thruster injectors!

If I had aimed to break down anything larger than the injectors, I would have probably failed.

The experimental mecha core Clone still had a considerable amount of energy left, and every single part of its body was being protected by the Darkblood Energy.

However, as the wise saying goes, if the opponent reinforces everywhere, then everywhere would be weak.

Its energy was being spread out to cover all of its body.

It was not able to resist my all out attack on a component that was merely ten centimeters in length.

Poof!!

Horsey's thrusters died down instantly and its forward momentum slowed down considerably.

GRAAAAHHHHHHHH!!

The Blue Dragon was no fool. He knew that the clones were all freshly created, there was no way their thrusters would fail just like that.

The only one that could experience a thruster failure was the one that had already experienced combat and possibly sustained damage.

The real body.

CHOMP!!

The Blue Dragon reached the powerful leader of the Horse Gavarels and bit down hard on its massive behind.

CRACK!!! CRACKKKK!!!

Metal and bone alike splintered into pieces under the massive jaw pressure of the magnificent Blue Dragon.

Horse Gavarel blood spurted everywhere.

"NO!!!" Horsey screamed in absolute denial and anger. But it was no use. Its death was written in stone as soon as his thruster injectors disappeared.

HISSSSSSSSS.

The highly corrosive Dragon Saliva rapidly burned its flesh into nothing and just like that, Horsey died.

CHOMP!!

The Blue Dragon started to eat Horsey savagely.

I clenched my fist and instantly broke down every single available horsey component and absorbed them.

However, try as I might, I could not break down Clone!

It glowed a mesmerizing green in colour, mere meters away from the Blue Dragon.

And yes, of course.

The Blue Dragon took it.

"Damn it!" I cursed vehemently.

"Kill the dragon." The Ancestor ordered me with a quiet voice.

"KILL WHAT?" I shouted at him to clarify.

"Kill the dragon." The Ancestor repeated himself. "Its monster core is worth much more than you can imagine. Its body is a treasure trove of materials. And... You will need that experimental mecha core."

The Ancestor pointed at the Blue Dragon which had the green mecha core in its claws and was forcing it very savagely into its chest area.

Did I mention that the Blue Dragon was a biomech as well?

I did?

Yes, its mecha parts on its chest were at that very moment, wriggling and reforming themselves.

It was adjusting itself so that it could assimilate with the green mecha core!

Of course there was no way that it could fully combine with it and wield its full power right there and then with such a crude method.

But it would be able to draw upon the Darkblood Energy to power its attacks, AND most importantly, gain resistance against my red energy!

There was no bloody way I would allow that to happen!
