Last Egg: Reincarnated as a Dragon in a Game-Novel

Chapter 455  The Battle of the Four Races, part 2/?

The sky split into two halves, the chaotic storm of elements clashing against the endless tide of light as the formations of the draconic beasts and the angels fought for dominance.

The entire horizon burned in purple flames and froze in black frost as the great dragon fully spread his wings and opened his mouth.

The immense river of mana was mixing with divine energy, and dozens of magic arrays lit up in his mouth as he carefully aimed his head toward the gate of heaven.

"Burn the heavens!" His voice resonated with the divine energy gathering in his breath glands, giving them their mission and target.

'Goodbye, angels.' The fused elemental breath exploded from the depth of his mouth, the pressure so high it sent shockwaves that tore the ground asunder. The trees were uprooted, and mountains shattered into dust.

The breath passed and morphed as it flew through all spell arrays, even more mana joining it from the star shape magic circuits.

On instincts, all the wyrms and the draconic beasts dived straight to the ground, their entire formation dispersing under the threat of the golden and red brilliance.

The stunned angels followed behind them like arrows of silver light. At the last moment, bright streaks of light shot out of the gates, like arrows, and then the beam that was thick as the wide river Danube reached the gate, vanishing into its glowing depths, the angels in its path disintegrating into nothingness.

Watching the destruction, Vesuvius felt nothing at the constant XP notifications popping in the corner of his vision.

'In the grand scale of things, this did nothing.'

Vesuvius closed his mouth, and the holy aura subsided, the divine flames, lightning, and frost bursting through the gates. The shockwaves expanded, the ground melted, and the air vanished, the pressure creating the crushing effect of a vacuum bomb.

In the blink of an eye, the battle quieted, 'What now?'

Just as he wanted to breathe out in relief, his sharp senses warned, his body spinning in counterattack as he caught fast movement behind his back.

With a shocking bang, the crystal blade of his tail enveloped in the elemental maelstrom crashed against a giant crystal sword, looking like a forged of light condensed into a diamond.

'Ambush! They must have used the fallout of my own attack to sneak on me.'

More and more diamond blades pierced through the stormy clouds around him, burning in divine energy, looking just like a streak of light. The glowing barriers formed around his armor at the last moment before the swords hit him.

The pieces of cut metal flew in every direction, the deep canyons opening in his supercondensed black armor as the blades cut through the metal, diamond, and crystal-like a hot knife through butter, the barriers in their path shattering under the divine energy flowing through them.

The holy light and divine energy lingered and glowed on the edges of the cuts, blocking the regeneration.

The swords vanished, but there was no sign of the attacker; everything around him was perfectly empty, even the air disintegrating.

'What trickery is this? Those swords... they.

"Give upon your sin!"

The angels, all in the same shiny armor of diamond and silver, gleamed in light—the emblems of glowing eyes etched and engraved into every inch of them. Their diamond swords of light pointed straight at the dragon.

In flashes of light, the ring of angels surrounded him in the clutches of their formation.

The rings of light and heavenly white metal, wings, and shining eyes spun below them like their chariots.

Vesuvius counted their wings without delay, his mind entering the highest alert state, 'Multiple cherubims with their thrones, and even seraph. On top of entire squadrons of the second sphere angels.'

What unnerved him most were their identical armor, symbols, and swords charged with divine energy, signifying they were an organized and dangerous unit, 'No, I just have to hold them for a moment.'

Vesuvius wasn't a blind lunatic and was more than aware the group of angels before him was way too powerful.

"We Grigory, have watched you. We are the blades of the god and we will cut you down!"

Even Vesuvius felt embarrassed for the poor angel's as they always shouted such cringy nonsense.

"Execute him!"

The rays of light and diamond spears shot towards Vesuvius from every direction as the ring of angels flapped their wings and turned into streaks of light, quickly approaching him.

He didn't wait for even a second as his barrier expanded; all the magic runes spinning with his body evolved to cast working as fast as possible.

The light-flooded his vision with the light radiating on his barrier from every possible angle. His domain flexed, and all the air molecules around him moved rapidly before a sea of fire scorched everything around him.

Not waiting for even a second, the space warped, and his vision shifted as he reappeared high, far in the distance, the entire battlefield turning into small dots swarming in the sky.

'Not, good. I can't enter my divine kingdom as it would bring me away from the portal and so nullify all my efforts until now.'

The light flashed on the horizon, and before he could even blink, the angels appeared in flashes of light all around him, feathers raining down as their divine diamond blades swished through the air at a staggering speed, approaching the protective bubble of elements enveloping him.

His own divine energy flowed into the barrier and repelled back the swords, their blades unharmed by the aggressive storm of elements. Like light mirages, the angels retreated back, leaving only their afterimages behind.

Even though he suffered no damage, it wasn't cheap, 'I can waste so much divine energy to deflect their swords.'

The heavens gate far away brightened again, and another, as a terrifying angelic aura radiated out, its brilliance so bright it made the sun look like a firefly in comparison.

'Even worse... there is...' Then an aura of death fell upon the battlefield, and thick mist flooded the burning and uprooted forests below him.
