Xenados was like a war god as he charged floating on the scale of the dragon with ten swords floating around him. The elves and Antonia as well as the three beast were staring dumbfoundedly at the three year old who is currently squaring off with a dragon.
While they were watching the battle from a distant peak a young girl is staring at the battle between the 3 year old half-breed and the black dragon.
With red long, straight flowing hair the young girl having the body of a 15 to 16 year old teen watched the battle with great interest and a smile on her face.
[Swoosh][swoosh][swoosh][clang]
The four swords of destruction moved in unison, watching the swords attack one would not think that these swords are being controlled by one 3 year old child.
The four no ten swords moved and attack the black dragon at specific intervals and timings that would greatly increase the effectiveness of the ten blades. Each of the 7 types of blades has their own objectives and targets.
The blades with the magic formation of destruction would attack the parts where the sword with corrosion has previously slashed through.
The magic barrier would not be forever broken, they would regenerate and at a face pace nonetheless.
In this case the ten swords would act in unison as a group to be able to deal significant damage to the black dragon. Of course if the handling of the swords is sloppy the power that they posses would only be useless.
But with Xenados using telekinesis to control the the ten swords simultaneously he was able to pull of the impossible. Nothing is needed to be said about how he is able to control multiple swords with one mind, he has enough experience and knowledge to do that.
With his unlimited mana pool he is able to pull of the seemingly impossible task of parallel thinking. Though he is unable to move his body as he wants it to due to the 3 year old body being to weak and lacking battle experience that it hasn’t been honed to even dodge killing intent, Xenados is using his mana and soul to fight having the body be a container is the only thing he could do right now.
But as useless as the body may be it still serves as the only way he is able to release the mana from his soul, and his intent to be able to affect the environment it would first go through the mortal body.
Especially as the world he is in is very peculiar at that his soul is unable to directly manipulate the laws and use magic. In fact if it were in the past manipulation using his soul is an easy act.
But in this world the restrictions on souls is much more intense.
(I guess only gods could do those things with a soul in this world...)
Xenados’ way of thought is actually right, the world he is in is [Primal Chaos] a world in the center of the void and all other worlds. In this world even gods could become mortals and mortals could become gods. In fact most of the gods originated from this world.
But Xenados not knowing this only thinks of the restriction being caused by a powerful god in tune with the world of the dead more specifically a god of death manages this world, those are his thoughts.
In this way he’s using the body as a catalyst to fight, in which his body becomes his greatest weakness as such having to fight a dragon while protecting the fragile body of his from being destroyed is not an easy task.
But because Xenados has the knowledge of multiple lives he is able to use multiple types of swordsmanship. The four swords of destruction came slashing down but the attack was a faint to allow the corrosive blade to strike the black dragon from behind.
Having it’s magical barrier once again broken the dragon shifts his position to guard the hole in his defenses only taking this chance the parasite sword rushed forth along with the corruption sword.
Seeing the frightening type of swords rushing towards his defenseless scales the dragon bends his body but this opens another area on his large body. In the split second that the defenses on another part of the dragon's body was slack the corrosion blacde charged in.

The dragon didn’t fail to notice this as he used his tail to deflect it, the four destruction blades that were following behind also struck the tail. The four blades had stronger force behind them coupled with the destruction magic formation cause an explosion.
The dragon flew but the parasite blade didn’t waste this opportunity to go in the hole and land a small scratch.
The scratch may seem insignificant but that small scratch would start releasing void worms that would dig into anything and destroy the dragon from the inside out.
Seeing as he can’t fight the dhampir at close quarters the black dragon began charging his breath but that was a stupid move for him.
The dragon may be intelligent but it’s not able to think properly right now especially that it’s under the effects of berserk that many flaws, openings and mistakes would gradually appear in the dragon's way of fighting.
This breath attack is one of those mistakes. The dragon only thought that this is a good strategy since he is unable to fight in close quarters but he failed to notice the sword of dispersion.
Just when the breath attack was 90% complete the sword flew straight into the dragon's mouth.
The effect of dispersion causes the magic that the blade touches turn into a chaotic state that would disperse into the air. Though to small scale magics it would be just a headache to see one's spell fail to condense and shoot out but when the scale reaches that of a strategic level dragon breath…
[boom!]
The charging breath became a bomb that imploded the mouth of the black dragon, though the mouth was not destroyed dozens of huge dragon fangs flew out.
The large debris would be able to destroy the body of Xenados as such he focused his attention more to dodging the flying debri than attacking. The swords surrounded him once again blocking and deflecting the one which he couldn’t dodge.
The black dragon could have used this chance to attack but with it’s breath failing and implogin on himself the force vigorously shakes his head. He may not have escaped the berserk stat but the force is enough to cause the huge black dragon to get knocked out for a few seconds.
When the dragon came to the debri were settling and Xenados’ blades were nowhere to be seen. The dragon charged towards where he last saw Xenados’ figure as he thought that the dhampir had fallen and is now thinking of brutally destroying the corpse of the dhampir.
But just as he made the smoke disappear ten swords charged at him and this time his own scales floated towards him.
The scales were the ones that had fallen during the battle and numbered six in all. The scales floated around Xenados and acted like shields. Seeing his own body parts being used against him the dragon felt more rage as he charged towards the dhampir.
Just as the dragon charged the six scales dispersed in floated in some sort of circular pattern but the next moment, a white line of light extended from each of the scales, bouncing off one another and forming an intricate pattern.
The final pattern that appeared is a six pointed star, the lines of it had countless words that looked ancient and profound. Inside the pattern are various ancient words the give of a dusty and profound ancient aura.
This is one of the many types of formations that Xenados has in his mind but the reason he chose to use this is because he has the materials to use it and also the target is large enough to show the formations true potential.
“Devils Star: Soul Destroying Formation!”
Screaming out the name of his formation is a stupid thing to do is what Xenaods is thinking but with the enemy and his allies not knowing a single thing about formations he fears nothing about doing such.
Instead he felt proud…
(Finally the Legendary, “Completely Obvious and stupid way of fighting Protagonist Special move screaming!” the stupid move that every protagonist does. With this I already put up the protagonist or hero flag! hahaha)
Laughing internally Xenados was proud of himself, why? This is just what he wants to do, it’s not normal for little kids to have such power. But if he says that he has a soul companion or that he has memories from another world his companions even his mother would not believe him.
As such doing something as flashy as defeating a dragon is just the beginning. When he uses a technique that no one knows about then they would have to believe him after all how could a 3 year old be able to learn such a complicated technique as magic formations.
And in the scenario where magic formations does exist something as complicated as this would not be used that easily by a three year old boy who didn’t even learn the basics of magic formations. Forget about the ten swords the formation that appeared before the dragon is enough to prove his story.
And using the dragons obvious charge he created the formations.
Currently the dragon is charging but as it touched the formation it felt it’s whole body lose strength and following that the formation moved and passed through him before turning into a series of runes that embedded itself onto the dragon's body.
[gauuu!]
Letting out a pained roar the dragon came crashing down onto the ground, the soul destroying formation is proving it’s effects but the dragon being stubborn was still alive. Xenados seeing the state of the dragon then made the ten blades attack the dragon.
The four swords of destruction flew and destroyed the dragon's scales on it’s head and continued to break it’s skull until it;s brain appeared.
[grauuuuu!]
Another pained roar came out of the dragon's mouth, not minding the grotesque scene in front of him Xenados made the ten blades simultaneously attack the exposed brain of the dragon.
[grauu...]
And with the last wail of the dragon it lost the light in it’s eyes.
(As expected of a dragon, to think that even with it’s skull broken and it’s brain exposed it’s still able to struggle. Sadly having it’s soul attacked and being destroyed by the second would undoubtedly cause it to die either way.)
Xenados no minding the gut wrenching stench and the disgusting sight of brain matter scattered about made his way to the dragon's body.
He removed the curse of the soul destroying formation and also made the parasites exit the body and return to the void.
[clang] [clang] [clang] [clang] [clang] [clang] [clang] [clang] [clang] [clang]
Ten swords fell on the ground and turned to dust, Xenados then picked up a nearby fang and stabbed it on the dragon's chest area. Using his telekinesis he was able to open a hole on the dragon’s back and what appeared is the huge heart of the black dragon.
Without further ado, Xenados used telekinesis to bring out the gigantic heart and devoured it. Xendos looked like a beast but after a few seconds the whole heart was devoured, the gigantic heart was so big that is was large enough to be the same size as Xenados but the heart disappeared somewhere into the little dhampirs body.
[Evolution is possible, do you want to undergo evolution? (Yes) (No)]
Before having his conscience disappear Xenados chose yes and his vision went black.
