Thanks to Noah’s running, he was able to accumulate blood mist at a heightened pace, also allowing him to gather lightning at a higher pace. He continuously increased the power within the lightning bolt, turning it brighter and brighter and more and more white-hot.
For a full minute since the two ultimate attacks struck each other, shaking the world and evaporating the darkness of the night for kilometers around, Noah had been running around the fringes of the brightness to maximize accumulation of blood that had burst outwards into the forest upon collapse of the dome. He was accumulating the blood in the from of mist, forming the illusion of begin much larger than it actually was.
Mia was tearing her throat apart with her screaming. Her musclature began to tear apart with every second she pushed her spiritually incompatible body past its limits.
Evan’s blood pushed against veins all over his body, with those in his arms and fingers having turned blue. He too was screaming, his eyes seemingly turning fully white.
The black dragon’s roar had also turned into a shrill scream at this point, though it had not decreased in its ear-shattering volume in the least.
It was obvious to anyone that this spectacular collision would soon come to a conclusion.
And so, Noah made his move. With another fierce stomp on the ground that shook the ground and cracked the air, Noah turned inward tangentially from his wide circles around the colossal black dragon. As he did so, the tornado of blood mist that swirled and stretched from Noah to the skies turned horizontal as it kept up with him, forming the appearance of a red cylindrical streak in the air led by a bright blue comet.
Suddenly, Noah stomped on the ground and took a massive leap backwards away from the dragon after temporarily releasing control of the blood tornado, allowing him to jump backwards through the now horizontal blood tornado. As he passed through the tornado, he gathered a layer of blood mist from the tornado to wrap around himself.
The moment he passed through to the other side and almost reached the open end of the blood mist tornado, he reactivated control over it.
At the instant that he reinstated control, he immediately created a dozen lightning tendrils from one end to the other end of thewalls of the blood mist tornado in a straight line, controlling the lightning by charging blood mist in a dozen straight lines to create a dozen straight paths of lowered resistance that the lightning would travel in. He also lowered the resistance of the blood smit wrapped around himself.
The stage was set.
He had been mid-leap, approaching the opposite end of the blood mist tornado. This end, being the end facing away from the blinding fight, faced the dark night. However, when the dozen thick lightning tendrils lit up the tornado, the dozen straight lightning tendrils blazed bright blue in the night!
Like it had been a dream, his momentum was blown away, and Noah was blasted back towards the dragon!
As he zipped through the tunnel-like tornado, he once again created another dozen parallel lightning tendrils, and was accelerated once more.
The blood mist tornado was a railgun, and he, the bullet!
Being close to the ground, the air and earth split apart with a roar behind him in the straight line that he traveled through, leaving a canyon in his wake. Mana pumped through his mana canyons and blood through his veins as if fueled by industrial hydraulic pumps. The blood that traveled through his artificial pulmonary vein circuit on his back burst out like a jet engine as it propelled him forward.
The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
He had even added the ionic propulsion into his Ripped WIngs that he had added to the gigantic plasma sword. Even though it was so hot it dealt constant damage beyond the limits of troll and vampire regeneration, he was ready to accept that damage just for this one strike.
‘I have to do at least this much if I want to end this here!’
The streak of blue with a massive billowing tornado behind it shot into the dragon with the force of a million cannonballs.
In that moment, the earth that had come to rest when the demiplane was erected was once again sent into a wild rumbling frenzy while a crater appeared seemingly instantaneously below the dragon with a blue flash that outshone the light of the two colliding forces for a brief moment.
The tornado that had been following the blue streak retained its momentum, and so it continued to move forward to wrap around the dragon while still swirling in great circles, such that it resembled the appearance of a blooming blood-flower. After the initial blue flash of Noah’s earth-shattering collision with the dragon’s side, thick tendrils of lightning appeared from all over the blooming blood cloud flower and struck the dragon, the blue and red blending into a bright purple with an illumination that rivaled the collision of light above.
The immensely large beam that had been pointed towards the skies thinned. With this chance, the colossal plasma sword overpowered the thinned beam in a mere moment.
The dense seemingly purple cloud of blue lightning and red blood swirling around the dragon prevented a clear view, but the leviathan-sized blinding plasma blade plummeted down the length of a full kilometer, cleaving through a kilometer downwards through the thinned dragon beam with such great speed that an afterimage of light was left behind it, and it collapsed onto where the dragon’s head had been behind the swirling purple cloud!
At the same time, Noah’s lightning bombardment from his blood cloud intensified even further to a whole new level. At this point, he had reverted to being the phantom who hid within blood, and he accelerated and accelerated and accelerated even further, letting all parts of his body behind turn charred from the ionic propulsion as he pushed himself to speeds he had never glimpsed before. A roar of wind was left wherever he streaked through, a trench left in the earth wherever he traveled through, and a crater left wherever he leaped. And yet, with a souls-splitting scream, he pushed out even more mana, charging the blood cloud even more, pushing the ionic propulsion on both the plasma blade and himself even more, and empowering the exoskeleton on both Evan and Mia even more.
The scream of the dragon changed to one of pain and increased even greater in volume, and so did Evan, Mia and Noah as they pushed out every last shred of power they had within them to end the dragon.
If they did not end the dragon here, they would not know when they would not get such a chance again!
Far away, the soldiers clenched their hands firmly. They knew there was nothing they could do to help, since the collision at this point was so bright they couldn’t even look directly at it. If not for the presence of the barrier, which none of them could even perceive, they would have been blown away by the collateral shockwaves from it. But the knowledge that they were just ants in the face of the power before them did not stop them from trying. It started from Adjutant Charles, who was watching far away in the healing encampment while leaning against the entrance of the tent for support.
“Finish it off!”
His lone yell rolled across the healing encampment, and the viewers who were watching the blindingly bright fight even from far away in this place were abruptly jarred when they heard it. The yell was audible over the dim roar of the fight that was so far away yet so clearly visible, so most in the healing encampment heard it.
Unhesitantly, another person joined in.
“This should be light work, Noah!”
It came from Ariel, who had just woken up.
One by one, the healing encampment began to sound full of cheers, and eventually reached and infected the battlefield where the soldiers were still standing, watching the fight with dumbfounded expressions.
“Let’s go, Lord Odir!”
“Kill the lizard!”
"The ex-heroes will always be my heroes!"
“Put even more into it!”
“You can do it!”
“Marry me, Evan!”
Aside from a certain female soldier who seemed unable to read the mood, cheers of encouragement echoed everywhere like a cacophony, even though they knew the three would be unable to hear them.
