Chapter 1222 Drake VS The Second Deep One's Vessel
-----
Upon his strange transformation, the Knight Commander had taken into a rather strange form. Drake always thought whoever transformed would always turn into an eldritch horror using the Deep One's powers, but it seem that was not the case. Henry had transformed into a gigantic, mech-like golden knight with a massive shield and a gigantic golden sword.
His Water and Light Magic Affinities were amplified instead of having acquired new elements, and it seemed that his powers and his entire transformation reflected how Henry seemed to think of himself rather than the Deep One possessing him. Nonetheless, it wasn't as if the Deep One had not planned his transformation to counter Drake's "Vampire Weaknesses".
However, the Deep One had simply not taken into consideration what Drake was truly capable of… Mostly because he had yet to see how utterly ridiculous his powers were. In mere seconds, his sturdy metal-made face opened its mouth in shock as he saw the black-scaled dragon with many arms and wings transform into a more… noble yet majestic form.
His black and red aura transformed into a blue and white aura, emanating an incredibly cold sensation that froze the air itself around his surroundings. His body covered by silver and clear blue scales, as countless sharp ice crystals grew over his body. The Dragon's wings were beautiful and translucent, reflecting light as if they were made of glass.
"W-What…?! You can transform?!"
"I have merely taken my original form. [Divine Winter Domain]"
Drake's voice echoed around his surroundings. Suddenly, the entire sky around them was vacuumed as a bubble was created. A sphere trapping both of them inside.
FLUOOOOSH!
It was a divine barrier, a domain, made of his own divinity. It was a powerful technique Divine Beings used to entrap their prey… Drake didn't wanted this dumbass to run away when he was going to have some fun using him as a punching bag after all.
"T-This is… A Divine Spell?!" Henry was surprised. Naturally, as a mortal granted divine equipment, he couldn't use divine spells, even less techniques that weren't attached to the equipment.
But now that his equipment was fused with his body, he was now technically a god even in flesh… And the voice echoing inside of his mind quickly began to guide him.
"He has created a Domain! This lizard seems confident that he'll kill you. However, you have the upper hand! Bring out your latent potential and destroy him with your Light Magic! He has simply changed his disguise, but he is probably still weak to Holy Light!" The Voice said, Henry's mind was quickly filled with enlightenment.
Having his god speak to him inside of his mind truly made him believe he was the chosen one. He started thinking he was truly someone incredible, one in a million, even more than before! He smiled evilly back at Drake.
"You think this can trap me? Foolish lizard!" Laughed Henry, conjuring Divine Holy Light Magic, as hundreds of magic circles appeared all around him.
Drake crossed his arms, raising an eyebrow.
"Huh? You've gotten slightly cocky again, I seriously thought you were going to piss yourself…" He sighed.
"Let's see if you're so relaxed after this! [Divine Holy Light Magic]: [Divine Sun Blade Rain]!!!"
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
Hundreds of blades made of sunlight started raining over Drake in mere seconds, each one as big as thirty meters each, capable of cutting through the entire surface and demolish it. Drake thanked himself for having preemptively conjured this Domain.
"[Divine Draconic Arts]: [Mirror Scales]"
Drake faced Henry's powerful Divine Spell by conjuring his own Draconic Art, summoning the Draconic Energy from the Draconic Records and swiftly imbuing all of its powers into his own body, his scales suddenly became semi-transparent, resembling mirrors, right before the attacks reached him!
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
Henry laughed, trying to imagine how could the lizard be able to defend against such an immense barrage of divine spells, he had become truly a god now! Or well, more like an egomaniac.
"Not too shabby, but you've gotta do something more entertaining than that, brat."
"HUH!?"
Henry's eyes almost popped out of his face as he saw Drake's entire body shining with bright light. The power of his attacks were merely absorbed by his mirroring scales!
"This is a technique that only Light Dragons can learn, took me a little while to figure it out." Drake laughed. "Here, take a taste of your own damn medicine."
Drake suddenly overcharged his scales and then…!
FLAAAAAAAAAASSSSHHHHHHHHH!!!!
A massive beam of light erupted out of his body, impacting Henry with all its might!
BOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!
"GRAAAAAGGGHH….!"
The Knight Commander's entire metallic body started to shatter into pieces, as blood poured everywhere, his gigantic body barely managing to resist the massive damage as he remained floating.
"G-Graagggh…! W-What…?! How…! M-My glorious… body…!"
And then Drake realized it, beneath the metallic exterior, Henry's body had completely deformed into a mass of twisting flesh tendrils, tentacles, veins, and countless red eyes with a shiny black crystal in the middle of it, pulsating like a heart.
"Hoh, so you're simply hiding your true appearance now…" Drake said.
It seemed that he wasn't wrong. The power of the Deep One could not twist a person's appearance to actually look angelic and divine. It was a power that twisted their bodies, it could give them the ability to make an outer shell to hide their appearance, but ultimately… they became aberrations.
Whatever the Deep One was, it was a being that might not have originated from this world, and the more Drake considered this idea, the more he began to think he might have something to do with the Chaos Spirits, although he'll have to ask them personally once this is over.
"D-Don't look…! DON'T LOOK!!!" The Knight Commander, selfish and egocentric, panicked, as his metallic exterior quickly started to grow over his damaged parts and then he conjured hundreds of blades made of this golden metal material he could conjure, firing them all against Drake!
"Let's see if you can REFLECT these attacks then!"
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
