Chapter 944: Against The White Mithril Drake Queen
-----
The Queen was at least ten times bigger than the rest of the Drakes. It immediately crushed my B Ranked Familiars without any difficulty and pushed away even Ruby, immediately leaping towards me the moment she set her gaze on my appearance.
Something within me was bringing all her attention, and it might be either my immense quantities of Mana thanks to my Mana Core, my power, or perhaps my developing Dragon Heart.
Or maybe all of them at once.
"ROOOAAARR!"
The gigantic A+++ Rank monster of over twenty meters tall, landed right in front of me after giving a surprisingly high and long leap. The creature made the entire floor tremble, cracks spreading everywhere. Without waiting for me to even react, it quickly swung its gigantic and thick tail against me.
Armored tightly with hardened mithril scales and a sharp spear-like end, the tail of this monster was a deadly weapon by itself.
CLASH!
I quickly blocked the strike using my bare hands, or well, not bare, as I used my hand wearing Sangre's gift, the mighty Gauntlet that was imbued with enormous Vampiric Powers and granted me even higher bonus stats.
The Drake Queen gave another roar, quickly unleashing a rapid barrage of metallic claw attacks. Each one enough to carve through a mountain with ease. However, I easily evaded or blocked the strikes with my hands, as I aimed my spear towards the monster's chest.
"Take it."
CRASH!
"SHAAAAH!"
The spear pierced her chest, getting stuck between the muscles and her own heart, or one of the three Drakes possess. The monster groaned in pain, vomiting blood and noticing its essence and blood being quickly drained. Gluttony was a voracious spear, just by being stuck into the monster, its life force was beginning to rapidly decrease.
But that wasn't all.
"GRAAAH!"
As I evaded an incoming blast of blue flames coming from the Drake Queen's jaws, I absorbed the blood in my surroundings. Hundreds of big, A Rank Monster carcass were bound to be full of delicious Blood, which I quickly refined into Blood Ki, or as some others call it, Blood Energy!
"Let's test this toy Sangre gave to me. Lilith died so quickly I was unable to use it properly." I smiled. "[Crimson Eyes of Sangre]"
The red and black colored metallic gauntlet absorbed almost half of the Blood Energy I just refined, activating its special, and deadly power. The red eye on the palm of the hand released a shockwave, an invisible red energy encompassing the Drake Queen entirely.
And her body was quickly paralyzed!
But that wasn't all, as it tried to move, it began bleeding from every orifice it had. And also, it started to cough black and purple blood, it was poisoned.
[You have activated the [Crimson Eyes of Sangre] Ability within your [Divine Vampire King's Armored Gloves Of Avarice (Power Sealed)]!]
[Your foe has been inflicted with three Random Status Ailments: [Paralysis] [Bleeding] [Poisoned]!]
[Additionally, their Soul Power, Willpower, Mental Fortitude, and Magical Power have decreased by -50%!]
[Duration: 5 Minutes.]
"GRYYAARGH!"
The monster could still move, paralysis only slowed down such powerful beings. But all three of these status ailments stacked on top of Gluttony's effects made for an incredibly deadly combination.
The almost S Rank Monster wasn't going down easily even now though. As it constantly fired breath attacks, huge metallic spikes started surging from the ground, trying to constantly impale my body.
"You seem eager to die."
I quickly kicked the ground, arriving above the Drake's jaws, which swiftly opened to greet me with a blast of blue flames. However, this time I didn't avoided them like I've been "pretending" to be afraid of, my entire body engulfed the endless quantities of flames and quickly gathered them in my hands, amassing them into a sphere of black and blue fire.
"{Karmic Gluttony Flames}! {Blazing White Nova}!"
I combined the flames with my Karma Fire, a combination of Holy Light and Demonic Flames, and further boosted with my Gluttony Authority, forming a sphere of pure white flames. The attack completely engulfed the monster, the flames burning through its entire being while roasting it alive.
"GRYYAARRGH!"
BOOOMMM!!
After an agonizing and loud scream, the beast's corpse fell over the ground, roasted and releasing smoke. I had to admit it though, the monster had a delicious smell once roasted.
"Hm… I guess that's about it, huh? I expected too much of you."
I sighed slightly disappointed the monster died so quickly. I wanted to try more of my abilities, but it seems everything is way too weak nowadays. Even an A+++ Rank Monster died so easily. Maybe if I am surrounded by a hundred of them I'll get to use more Skills and try their effects and combinations in much more detail.
The White Dragon seems formidable though, and if it is acting so cocky as to not even recognize us, I have high hopes he's a monster I'll have to finally go all-out. Lilith was also not easy either, I did have to go slightly all-out against her, but not completely. I still yearn for a fight like the one I had against Satan.
That bastard's fight is still the best I've ever had so far.
"White Dragon, you better not disappoint me…"
As I sighed to myself, I joined back with my friends. The excitement of earning EXP was still there anyways. With my Blood Arts and Shadow Arts, I spread out explosions of blood flames and countless tentacles of shadows and spears of both darkness and blood.
At the same time, my Demonic Arm kept changing form, becoming gigantic and monstrous. I used it to quickly rip apart the heads of the Drakes that attempted to bite my limbs off. While cutting their limbs with Gluttony and crushing their entire bodies with a combination of my Intents, Auras, and my Demonic Eyes of Paralysis and Gravity, pressuring them until their bones started cracking.
Eventually, the one thousand Drakes and their leader were slain, in roughly thirty minutes since we arrived. The EXP was plentiful as well, everyone leveled up a lot, and above all, I had a new Familiar!
"{Summon Familiar}!"
Their Spirit Orbs were absorbed and then quickly transformed into two new Familiars, the normal Drakes and their Queen.
