Chapter 116 - Life And Death Battle
-----
Noah's soul suddenly felt as if a large chunk of it was eaten away in an instant.
In simple terms, it was as if you tore apart a large piece of your shoulder, including your arm, and even part of your stomach to throw an attack.
However, Noah knew that souls could regenerate, he had already tested it when he gave names to Blood Servants, feeling that the chunks of soul he lost slowly regenerated over time.
Even after having lost such a big piece of his soul, Noah knew that it would regenerate, as it had already begun to slowly grow back through the constant flow of Mana.
He even discovered that by infusing Mana into his Blood Core, this soul regeneration strengthened, and became way better than before.
However, he would need time to go back to his full strength.
His attack was certainly devastating, and it bought a lot of time to him and his group, the consequences of it were within his calculations.
As Iris and the rest quickly began to slaughter the six last Fire Wyrms, Noah glared at the Blazing Wyrm Emperor, who was panting for air while losing blood constantly.
The Blazing Wyrm Emperor was gasping for air with its several heads, a large piece of its left lung was lost with the attack, making it lethargic.
Although the wounds were regenerating and even his lung was doing so, the wound was too big and the hemorrhage was not stopping, the wound would take too long to heal in time.
It really was caught off guard.
Because Noah and his group were running away, it thought that they were not really a threat, and followed them while lowering his guard.
If he had activated a flame barrier before time, he would have been able to not receive as much damage… but now, he had paid for his mistake.
His "endless stamina" did not seem endless anymore, and because the Blazing Wyrm Emperor only knew offensive spells, it could not hasten its regeneration through spells…
However, it could seal the wound.
Although Fire Wyrms were immune to fire, that was only in their exterior.
In their insides such as flesh and organs, they were not immune to fire.
Noah glanced as the Blazing Wyrm Emperor began to burn his own wound!
"Nnnggruuuoooh…! Nnngrraaaah…!"
The wound began to be burned, as the hemorrhage suddenly stopped, the wound was sealed by burnt flesh and muscles, although the bone within could still be seen, he was no longer losing blood, and the constant loss of stamina stopped.
The Blazing Wyrm Emperor sighed in relief, although it felt his entire body aching… the loss of blood made his entire body feel slower, as he needed blood pumping through his veins constantly to move such a gigantic body.
He slowly stood up, although he moved incredibly slow now… however, his eyes were blazing with anger… he was dead-set to annihilate Noah, whom he glared directly into his eyes.
"You resilient bastard… Even blasting one of your lungs off did not work… But now he is weakened and slow… We better hurry before he gets here… Oh? It seems that my army is soon to recover completely… Good…" thought Noah, as he quickly joined back with Iris and the rest before the Blazing Wyrm Emperor could catch up with them at last.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Explosions of black thunder, nether fire, shadows, corrosion, and more resonated through the battlefield, as the Fire Wyrm's enormous bodies began to fall into the ground one by one.
Clash! Clash! Clash! Clash…!
"Noah-sama! Four down!" said Iris, as Noah nodded and immediately raised the four Fire Wyrms into Blood Servants, using them to overwhelm the other two left!
"ROOOAARR…!"
"GROOOAARR…!"
The two Fire Wyrms cooperated to survive, unleashing lava bullets and breaths of fire everywhere, trying to desperately breakthrough Noah's group, but it was all useless!
The Blood Servant Fire Wyrms used themselves as shields to protect their masters, as they began to regenerate like undying beasts, roaring fiercely, as they bit, slashed, and attacked the two last standing Fire Wyrms!
"Die already and become my husband's soldiers, lowly beasts!" roared Iris, boldly rushing over the beasts while coating herself in her phantom and berserk mode skills, as a coating of clear blue phantasmal aura and red aura encompassed her body!
Her black nails grew like beastly fox-like claws, and her fangs grew long and monstrous, coating herself on her nether fire, she slashed through the beast's necks, leaving deep and large wounds all around them, which were then abused by everyone else!
"Perish!" roared Timassa, firing black thunder arrows towards the beasts and worsening their wounds!
BOOM! BOOM!
Arthur used corrosion to slow them down, Jon kept draining the beast's Mana and Life and distributing it around the party (mostly Noah), while Adamantine followed Iris around, being as beastly as her!
The last standing Fire Wyrms groaned in agony, their necks exploded into pieces, and their heads were crushed.
Even with such strong carapaces, they were not able to cover their heads, even though they were already covered in strong, metallic scales!
"ROAAAAAARR…!"
"GGGRROOOARR…!"
CLASH! CLASH!
The two corpses fell over the body, as Noah immediately raised them into Blood Servants right in time!
"Now that you have slain the last one, are you satisfied?! Is this what you wanted above all else, cowardly rats?! Now fight me like true warriors so I can burn through all of you!" roared the Blazing Wyrm Emperor, as he slowly began to conjure magic!
"He's here, Noah-sama!" said Arthur.
"Noah!" said Iris.
"I know, and they are ready!" said Noah with a grin, he still felt weakened, but it was not as if he had given up on fighting himself!
His army was already back to full health, and he had the most genius idea of simply dropping them above the bastard!
Flash!
Using Crimson Flash and Vampiric Wings to increase his speed momentarily, Noah reached the Blazing Wyrm Emperor's area above his body in a few seconds while evading his jaws trying to tear him apart!
"How about of a little family reunion?!" laughed Noah, as he opened a giant wound on his chest, as an entire sea of crimson red liquid and phantom rushed over the Blazing Wyrm Emperor, shaping as tens of Fire Wyrms!
Noah's capacity for Blood Servants had increased as he raised more and increased the proficiency of the Skill, now he could have 110 of them, so he had room to spare for all these Blood Servants Fire Wyrms!
"Ngh?! Your movements are so fast! You bastard… this is because of my own weakened state…! Aggh! Get off me!!!" roared the Blazing Wyrm Emperor, fighting against all of his kin, now raised back as deadly and incessant Undead that kept regenerating from his wounds!
Some even started merging together, entangling him like vicious, crimson-colored slimy beasts, while others unleashed breaths of crimson fire towards it, attacking and impacting its scales so he could be weakened for larger wounds to be inflicted over his skin and flesh!
Another batch attacked his legs, biting them and trying to burn them with their breaths of fire, which were of a different element than pure fire, similar to blood attribute rather than fire attribute, being able to bypass the Emperor's immunity and deal damage to the scales, melting them slowly to open a way for the tender flesh beneath to be revealed!
Noah evaded the Blazing Wyrm Emperor's attacks as he could, but his soul was still regenerating!
He kept using several skills to get off his range, but the enormous and long necks the beast possessed served as whips, attacking him, and blasting him into the ground!
CLASH!
"Ungh…!"
Thankfully, Noah had predicted such an outcome, using several layers of Crimson Aegis to protect himself alongside his Blood Armor, which was shattering into pieces…
However, he saw as his Blood Servants began to take the upper hand in battle, entangling and managing to inflict wounds in the fearful Blazing Wyrm Emperor!
"I am… not dying without taking you with me!" roared the Blazing Wyrm Emperor, as Noah began to run away from his range, however!
FLASH!
An enormous aura of flames emerged from the Blazing Wyrm Emperor, as he used everything he could, pouring his very soul into the attack!
Yes, his very soul!
It was like Noah's attack, he was using his very soul as a weapon!
"DIEEEE!" roared the Blazing Wyrm Emperor, unleashing an enormous blast of Blazing Soul, coming from his very soul like a cannon that could disintegrate everything!
Noah used everything at his disposal, but the attack neared him incessantly…!
But it wasn't as if he was alone!
Iris and company emerged near the Blazing Wyrm Emperor after having charged their power, unleashing an enormous storm of combined elements over the beast's heads, moving the direction of its attack to the left, saving Noah from being disintegrated!
BOOOOOM!
The beam of blazing soul clashed against the far-away walls of the volcanic landscape and even the ground below, generating enormous explosions and tremors all around!
"NNNGRRRRRUUOOOOOHH…!"
The Blazing Wyrm Emperor roared in anger, as Iris and everyone else kept showering him with attacks until the ceiling started to fall apart when his Blazing Soul Breath hit it, as enormous boulder started to fall over the monstrous creature!
As this landscape was more of an enormous underground volcanic cave, the beast began to bury itself in enormous boulders!
Iris and everyone else flew towards Noah, grabbing him and moving him away from danger, as the Blood Servants took care of the last seconds of life of the Blazing Wyrm Emperor, sucking off his blood from his wounds and tearing apart his neck and flesh!
"NNNGRRYYAAAAHH…! YOU… YOU COWARDS…!" he groaned, feeling like a betrayed warrior who was never given a fitting end, he died bitterly!
BOOM!
Buried in stones and Blood Servants, the powerful Hidden Boss, the Blazing Wyrm Emperor, had died.
Noah glanced with a tired expression at the scene…
"R-Rise…" he muttered, as the Blazing Wyrm Emperor slowly began to become a Blood Servant, however, before that, Noah fell unconscious…
