Chapter 1771 1771. Battling Azzarilth
The slashes from Jack's formless flowing sword style were unending. The damage Azzarilth received on the first waves of slashes was negligible. Considering she was a level 98 eternal dragon, this was not surprising. What caused her disbelief was the force accompanying these slashes. Each slash carried an immense force. With so many slashes assailing her all the time, she was unable to do anything.
She wasn't concerned about the damage at the start. But without being able to break free from these slashes, she continued to receive combo damage, which increased over time.
A layer of dark purple aura covered Azzarilth's body. Her chaos armor had gone off cooldown some time ago. She never expected it would be a weak outworlder who forced her to reactivate this skill.
The chaos armor greatly reduced the pressure from Jack's sword art. She opened her jaws and a thundering roar accompanied by a shockwave that rattled the space itself came forth. The powerful shockwave was able to stop the slashes from Jack's sword art from hitting her body, giving her a reprieve from those slashes.
Azzarilth's claws slashed all around her, clashing with Jack's sword art that had been paused by her roar. Her claws then proceeded in Jack's direction.
Her shockwave roar carried a powerful mental attack that should have debilitated Jack. She expected Jack to be unable to react when her claws arrived. But one look at Jack's expression and she realized Jack didn't appear perturbed in the slightest.

The elder dragon was again given the surprise of her life when she felt her claw recoil from the impact. Jack was thrown a few meters back but he wasn't unbalanced. This showed that Azzarilth was still stronger, but the fact that Jack could contest in strength was something that should have been impossible.
Azzarilth didn't stop. Her surprise and disbelief urged her to be even more aggressive. She used Deca Slash. Her claws crisscrossed, leaving void tears as she advanced.
Jack faced that attack using Penta Slash. But considering his skill generated five rapid slashes while Azzarilth's skill produced ten, it was clear who won. Jack solved the shortcoming of his skill by activating the combo of Asura, Phantom Blade, and Dances of the Braves once his fifth slash was over. The multiple swords opposed Azzarilth's remaining five slashes.
Azzarilth again couldn't believe Jack could survive direct combat against her. In her consternation, her mana sense became dull.
*WHAM!*
She noticed too late when something fast slammed into her from above.
This something was Eoranth who had just flown through a detour around her chaos minefield. Silvery auras shrouded Eoranth's claws. His Soul-infused Fist was also off-cooldown.
After hitting Azzarilth on her back, Eoranth followed by unleashing his divine soul breath. The powerful breath attack struck Azzarilth point-blank. She was sent plunging from the attack. A large searing scar from the breath attack was seen on Azzarilth's back.
She didn't fall far, because fifteen giant vipers burst out of thin air and caught her. These giant vipers were Jack's Myriad Venomous Vipers. The vipers were much larger than their usual sizes. They were also covered by multicolored auras.
The vipers entangled Azzarilth and bound her tightly, rendering her unable to move. Normally, the chaos armor would have prevented these vipers from touching her body, the multicolor aura on the vipers made them ignore the effect. The vipers bit Azzarilth. The chaos armor protected her from poison status but the bites still caused damage.
Azzarilth cast Ghost Form and escaped from the entanglement. She then stared at Jack in anger. Jack stared right back. Her two eye skills were on cooldown, but she had a feeling that even if she could still use them, they wouldn't affect the outworlder.
Azzarilth made another thundering roar. This one was fueled by extreme rage. The battle had been nothing but playful to her, up until now. The last few exchanges had been totally out of her expectations. Following her roar, a sphere of darkness burst out of her body. Her chaos armor enveloped this orb and turned it into a dark purple flaming sphere.
Like her chaos armor, her Sphere of Svalinn had also come off cooldown. She shot back up at high speed.
Her sudden return was so fast that Eoranth didn't react fast enough. Azzarilth headbutted Eoranth's lower jaw, causing his head to jerk up. She landed a claw attack at Eoranth's body before shooting in Jack's direction. Jack used Wind Dash and was gone before she arrived.

He was already extremely fast in his mana awakening state. With the boost, his speed didn't lose to Azzarilth under the Sphere of Svalinn's effect.
Azzarilth didn't believe she couldn't catch Jack. She continued to dog after Jack. The two changed directions countless times. Their shadows zipped around the sky and were almost imperceptible to the naked eye.
Jack didn't just fly around randomly, though. He zoomed near Eoranth a few times until Eoranth finally caught Jack's intention. Eoranth's soul armor was also off cooldown. He now activated that skill before coming to the path that Jack always passed through.
Azzarilth had been dashing madly to catch Jack. She wasn't aware when Eoranth suddenly came into her path. The two colossal dragons bumped into one another. Eoranth was unable to stop Azzarilth's momentum but his two arms clinched Azzarilth's dark sphere tightly, not letting it go.
The air around Eoranth turned steamy before a huge rune symbol appeared underneath him. Following the appearance of this rune symbol was a bright pillar of light. This pillar engulfed both Eoranth and Azzarilth. This pillar of light was Eoranth's Souls of Heaven and Earth.
Azzarilth might be protected by the Sphere of Svalinn but she still received damage from Eoranth's powerful skill. The most important point was that her chaotic movements had been stopped.
When the light pillar subsided, twenty shadows of Jack appeared around the two dragons. All twenty shadows struck Azzarilth at the same time. Jack's Hundred Shadow Strikes caused the dark purple flame shrouding Azzarilth's Sphere of Svalinn to dim. When the twenty shadows merged back into one Jack, he thrust his sword into the sphere. The thrust was done by performing One-word Thrust while activating Drilling Thrust.
The move created a multicolored energy drill that pierced Azzarilth's dark sphere and created a hole. The air near the created hole shimmered and multicolored Nine Yin Phantom Sword shot out. The energy sword entered through the hole and struck Azzarilth's head.
