Chapter 1066: A Battle Of Words
-----
"Hmm, they got stronger?" Blake's eyes squinted as he sensed the army of monsters and lizardmen suddenly growing stronger.
Their attack power was enhanced, their defenses strengthened, and their speed boosted. And it all came from a single man, a giant lizardman of almost ten meters of height, carrying a giant black sword and leading an army of "elites".
They were running towards him, slaying his Familiars from left and right. He smirked as he saw them radiating with draconic power. It seemed that Fafnir had done quite a lot of interesting things with his soldiers.
After all, the one leading them even had a fully formed Dragon Heart, a General unlike any other lizardman Blake had ever fought before.
"So this must be the Draconic General you told me about," he said, as he saw a Dragon Born Abyssal Vampiric Undead Familiar slowly hide within his Crimson Shadows.
He had been interrogating the first Abyssal Vampiric Undead he had risen, which allowed him to learn many things about Fafnir's army.
One of them was that they actually had generals of their own separate from the demons, powerful lizardmen that had taken into the blood of Fafnir in large quantities without dying, and that even ate the flesh of his tail his scales.
With that, they were able to apparently awaken Dragon Hearts, if they didn't die in the process, being given the title of Draconic Generals.
The General that had showed right in front of him was one of such Draconic Generals he had heard about, aside from enormous size and many dragon powers, they also gained the ability of Dragon Tongue, making them incredibly hard to deal with.
"I can tell already why the rest of the elves were never able to defeat any of your kind, your ability over Dragon Tongue is not bad, you're competent and strong…" Blake said, ignoring the general's screams. "You'll make a perfect new addition to my army…"
"Keep talking bluffing, you human weakling!" General Erdremath rushed towards Blake without hesitation, seeing how small and "frail" he looked, he wanted to crush him like an ant before he was to become more of a problem.
Blake summoned his Spear out of his Umbral Crimson shadow, intercepting the incoming sword attack, charged full of draconic power.
CRAAASH!
The enormous clash reverberated across the battlefield, the aura of the general and Blake clashed against one another. It seemed that Blake's aura was much smaller and weaker.
Although lizardmen were not blessed with the power of being able to summon spirits, they still were born with mighty bodies, when they grow a Dragon Heart, they can become as strong as…
S Rank threats!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
The General kept attacking Blake, downward swings and then upward blows, horizontal slashes generating deadly waves of draconic power and crimson flames, and even fire breath beams coming from the general's own jaws.
"Heheh… You're too weak! Is trying to dodge the only thing you can do?!"
With a crazed laughter, the giant lizardman kicked Blake and threw him away several meters, before running towards him and conjuring Dragon Tongue again.
"Make him restrained, earth!"
RUMBLE!
The ground beneath Blake shook as it generated a giant fist, tightly gripping on his body, he groaned in pain as he vomited blood.
"Uuuggh…!"
"Hahaha! I got you now, summoner! I knew it! Without your summons, you're nothing!"
The lizardman laughed, swinging his blade down one last time, cutting Blake into two halves, and splattering his guts over the floor.
SLASH!
Suddenly, his soldiers looked in disbelief, their general had done it! The tide of battle was now going to change. They were winning once more!
"General… did it!
"General Erdremath, make lizardmen proud!"
"Amazing! We are surprised!"
"Nothing less to expect from general!"
As the General laughed while mocking Blake's corpse, he put his foot over it and crushed it.
SPLASH!
"Huh?"
Yet the moment he realized that his corpse turned into a pool of blood and shadows, the lizardman's eyes widened, and all his smugness disappeared, alongside his relaxed state.
"Did you have fun?"
Blake's voice echoed from the pool of blood and shadows, his true body emerging from within, the shadows and the blood constantly merged, suddenly turning into crimson and black ice, freezing the lizardman's leg.
"W-Wha…?! WHAT IS THIS! How…! How are you still ALIVE?!"
Erdremath never realized that Blake hadn't even come out himself, but was using a weak clone to fight him and test his strength, mostly because…
Well, because he wanted to mock him and break his pride.
"Well, how do you think I'm still alive?" Blake sighed. "Now, can your Dragon Tongue stop this?"
"UGH?!"
The General had ignored the frost, thinking he could withstand it with his draconic, fiery blessing. Yet he was wrong, the ice became so cold, and it felt like it was constantly draining his life force too! He quickly attacked Blake with magic and sword techniques.
"Get this shit off me, you bastard!" Enjoy new stories from mvl
With a ferocious roar, he attacked, yet Blake easily evaded the incoming sword blows, coming so fast it seemed like he disappeared from the general's vision and reappeared somewhere else.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
"S-Stop dodging me, you coward! Wind, trap him! Earth, restrain him! Fire, burn him!"
"Oh?"
Blake then felt the winds around him spinning around his body and stopping him from moving, the ground beneath grew into countless snakes coiling around his legs and arms, and then hundreds of fireballs materialized, bombarding his body.
"Hahaha…"
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"Hahh… Hahhh… That should have done it now, right?!"
The general waved his hands, dissipating the smoke only to see Blake…
Completely unscathed, not even his clothes were torn.
"For having the Dragon Tongue ability, you're very terrible at using its true potential," Blake said.
"Y-You're…?!"
The general's face widened the moment he noticed Blake transform, silver scales growing over his entire body, alongside silver draconic wings, eyes, horns, and long silvery-white hair.
Blake combined his Divine Draconification with the [Divine White Dragon's Wrath] and [Blood King Transformation] Skills, gaining a majestic appearance.
But above all, aside from his vampiric powers… his draconic heart was beating fast, emanating an almighty draconic aura of power!
"You… a mere human… has a dragon heart too?!"
"As long as you're in front of my presence, you will not dare speak a word."
"Nggh?!"
And then, Erdremath realized his mouth was sealed shut!
