Chapter 299 - Showdown! Against Ocean Dragons! 5
-----
Noah knew that spreading out would be of no use against Varus, his size and strength were too much, and everyone would end up getting crushed to death somehow one way or another! Due to this, Noah had decided to do what he had been practicing for some time with everyone, and perform soul fusion once more, sharing the power of everyone with his own, and quickly using the series of other Skills he possessed to shapeshift into a giant mass of monstrous flesh!
He utilized the power of his clones spread through the air, as he asked them to use Kin Summon on him to teleport him around the battlefield, effectively being able to evade Varus' powerful ice magic attack in time!
After that, he leaped over the giant Ocean Dragon's back and started using everything he had to pierce his powerful scales, entangling him as he expanded his body with his new physiology after evolving and also after acquiring the skills of the Flesh Trees. He began to entangle his large and giant arms, and quickly started to conjure all types of attacks, although most of them were useless… so he had to use his Lifeblood Jewel Abilities instead!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
However, Varus was not giving up, as he quickly began to unleash giant icebergs over his body, which didn't damage him at all, but began to freeze through Noah's flesh body!
Noah covered himself with dozens of layers of draconic scales, as he generated several draconic heads across his body and fired powerful breath attacks towards the icebergs, but he was still being frozen!
And then, suddenly, scales made of ice and an icy aura emerged, as a giant unicorn Pegasus emerged, it was Clementina's power and soul beast, which had rushed out of the body of Noah through their soul fusion!
The giant soul beast started to assimilate the icebergs and destroy the magic circles, surprising the giant dragon!
"W-What?!"
And then, suddenly several soul beasts of different colors emerged out of Noah's flesh, attacking around Varus's body like vicious and colorful ethereal ghosts!
There was a giant worm that vomited poison and sued sharp fangs, a giant wolf made of shadows, a mass of eyes with tentacles, a furious beast made of phantom flames, a roaring bird made of black thunder, and another one, resembling a mass of shadows, ice, and black light that began to shapeshift giant mechanical cannons made of soul, and firing powerful beams!
It was utterly ridiculous!
"What kind of power is this!?" roared Varus, as he continued to use his powerful magic to attack the Soul-Beast, quickly making some explode and die out, only for a new one to emerge right after!
"Unlike your physical bodies, soul beasts are made with a piece of your soul, as long as you're fused with my soul, I can keep using my own ever-expanding soul to create these soul beasts!" laughed Noah, telling this to those inside his divine realm.
Everyone was meditating, concentrating on giving away their spiritual power and their souls to Noah, fusing it with them!
Noah continued to receive such power as a swarm of soul beasts from not only his main party but many of the other subordinates emerged one after another, assaulting Varus and crushing him with several long-ranged attacks of all types, his entire body began to feel the damage at long last, as he tried to take away Noah with his sharp claws, slicing him continuously!
However, Noah quickly began to gather enough mass, mana, and soul and suddenly separated himself, dividing his flesh into two pieces!
He left the giant flesh entangling Varus where it was as a flesh clone, while he separated himself from it and quickly transformed into a giant humanoid dragon with an enormous multi-layered armor of exoskeleton and scales, unleashing an aura of storms, darkness, and blood!
He could only expand up to half the size of Varus, but this was enough. Noah roared monstrously as he kept Varus entangled with his giant flesh clone around his body, and at the same time that an army of Soul Beasts continuously attacked him from all sides!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
He used his gigantic claws to slash Varus while using his Excalibur to pierce his flesh, his breath also clashed against Varus's breath attack, the two exploding and generating shockwaves that shook the entire world.
"Y-You miserable invader! What kind of monstrous being are youuuu?!" roared Varus, as he reached one of his claws against Noah, slashing through his entire body and cutting him into pieces!
SLAAAAASH!
"Nnggh…!"
Noah groaned in pain, he not only felt his flesh being sliced, but his soul was also damged1
However, he gritted his teeth and made both of his halves into his two bodies, forming giant fits with them, and punching Varus in the chin!
CLAAAASH!
"UNNGGRAAGGH..!"
Varus felt his chin cracking as his razor-sharp teeth shattered into pieces. His pain was obvious with his roar, as Noah's flesh clone entangling his back continued to attack him and drain his power and blood through Jon's eye-related abilities.
The titanic dragon was actually… slowly, falling behind!
"I am the guardian of the seas… you can't possibly think you stand a chance against me!!!" roared Varus, as his entire aura began to unleash out of his body, surpassing the power of an SSS-RANK!
"I knew it!" thought Noah, as he saw that Varus power was rising. Now that he had escaped the Dungeon, he was no longer restricted by the Rank he was, and could easily surpass this rank and unleash more of his true power! Which was… Peak X-Rank!
His aura began so strong that it began to freeze everything, the soul beasts assaulting him began to be frozen and shattered into pieces by his long tail!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
However, Noah continued to create more Soul beasts, as he persevered!
"I am going to devour you now, and there won't be any other end to this!" roared Noah, as he fused with his two sliced halves and continued to release breath attacks over Varus, while Varus continued to punch him and slice him with his claws, it was a beastly fight like nothing ever before!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
