Will of chaos

Chapter 1213 Cap 1211: Rebirth of Star Flames

The arm that I had just partially transformed was hurting a lot, it wasn’t just a physical pain, it seemed to be burning from the inside, this arm disproportionate to my body came out of my normal arm, tearing it into pieces in the process, parts of my arm were still falling to the ground having been trapped in the Dragon scales of this new arm, but all this pain was easily ignored with what was happening in front of me.

I didn’t even try to run or hide, her movement speed will be much greater than my impossibility of any attempt to escape.

Hiding was also ridiculous, her senses will be much sharper now and she knows the smell of my blood that covers me completely due to the injuries she inflicted on me.

The only thing I could do was try to meditate with my eyes open to recover as much as possible while trying to think about something rationally for the first time in weeks as a punching bag.

“(Think Zenos! THINK!!!!)” (I)

I looked out of the corner of my eye at my arm, it was different from what it was before, my scales no longer seemed to have the rough crystal appearance they had before, they looked like a smooth crystal film around a part of the night sky, it was as if each scale was a portal to the stars.

But what worries me is the reason for this pain, I could feel something burning my arm from the inside and I saw signs of it through the gaps between the scales revealing a light inside, as I looked at this Dragon arm I wasted no time in healing the arm of crystallized blood that I used for days to replace the arm I lost in the first few days, now I was using what was left of the healing power of my sister’s blood and flesh that I ate to regenerate the arm or most of it, I couldn’t do it skin grows on that new arm when the healing energy is gone.

“Rest is over!” (Natasha)

“30 seconds is no rest… DISGRACE!!!!” (I)

BOOMMMM!!!!

I no longer had time to think or even heal any remaining wounds, the lack of skin on the newly regenerated arm was not an impediment to moving it in combat, I also didn’t have time to think about the reasons for the pain in Dragon’s arm, That’s because Natasha spun in the air using her tail like a whip to hit the ground right where I was.

I jumped as high as I could to get away from the crumbling ground from the impact earthquake during the formation of the crater, and then I took advantage of the impact wave and the dust cloud to go further, the shrapnel didn’t do much to my body, but the wave caused by the impact went through my body’s defense, twisting my organs, making me vomit before I even reached the ground.

This distraction cost me dearly when a tree hit my body against the ground, before I could get up I had to dodge attacks from above by turning my body on the ground from side to side before I had the chance to get up now look from the my attacker.

The dust cloud from the first attack had not yet dissipated, but this was not an impediment to her as she could sense where I was and with the force of the flapping of her wings these dust clouds simply dispersed revealing her body as if she wanted to see my reaction.

A colossal appearance hundreds of meters tall, flying above the trees of what was left of this forest after its attacks against me, its figure almost covered the sky completely with its 3 pairs of wings spread out Its figure was thin for its size, but its claws were large, there were also red blade-shaped crystals on its elbows, tip of its tail and knees.

Its body is covered in smooth, metallic-looking red scales reflecting light and spines made of bone along its arms, tail and up its back, the white of the bones highlighted over the entirety of red on the rest of its body, its body shape barely visible it looks more Human with only the torso part of the body having vaguely the curves of a woman’s body while its monstrous arms and legs are far from the humanoid figure, its head being similar to that of a Wolf covered in red scales instead of fur, its 4 horns grow upwards and backwards forming some branches while its teeth were so big that the smallest among its teeth easily reached my size.

She was looking at me not with the apparent anger she’s always shown all this time, but with apparent amusement, which didn’t make me happy at all since in practice it doesn’t change my situation.

“< Dragon Awakening… > AAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!” (I)

Seeing that the situation was very bad, mainly because I felt the overwhelming pressure coming from my sister’s body, I knew it was impossible to do anything, every blow from her will have repercussions of tens to hundreds of meters, and there is no place in kilometers where I can reach hiding and the chances of dodging his blows was impractical, I was out of options when I looked at my arm still shaking from the pain and feeling my blood boiling inside as if entering a furnace.

When I tried to use the Skill to the fullest on my entire body I felt my veins explode as the flames on my Dragon arm seemed to momentarily spread through my body through my veins, the pain was so intense that my consciousness flickered.

But this brief moment was not wasted by my sister, when I realized there was only a colossal fist inches away from me, without time to think I tried to enter my shadow, but before my whole body could enter I was hit and thrown against a mountain hundreds of meters away, losing being embraced once again by darkness.

Pov Hela’s:

“Arghhhh!!!” (I)

“Use the Seal of Pain and Infernal Armor!!!” (Lilith)

“< Curse of Darkness: Seal of Pain >” (I)

“< Invocation of Death: Garment of the Infernal Lady >” (I)

I heard Lilith’s voice and followed her advice without thinking twice, I used Necromancer magic with high Dark Affinity to create a Seal that absorbs pain, it doesn’t make the pain go away, I still felt the same pain, it just wasn’t anymore a deterrent to me as my body was being coated in a cold energy and my murderous intent bubbled over trying to corrupt my mind to no avail.

When I paid attention to the surroundings again I noticed that the room was broken and I looked at Lilith, the veins on her entire body seemed to twitch as she cut the tip of her finger causing a drop of blood to come out while burning in stellar flames.

I looked at my hands without seeing anything but the claw-shaped gauntlets decorated with black bones, I looked at the rest of my body, pants made using black scales glued to the body while the upper part looked like black bones hugged my body, these clothes summoned seem to use less energy than normal, it seems that being in an environment full of death energy like that is the reason, but I don’t have time to think about that right now.

“What happened here?” (I)

“I don’t know, you two suffered from some kind of strange flame curse, we were lucky to be in that room, thanks to your protections I had time to use a barrier or others would have noticed it.” (Zaya)

“In this world, any kind of weakness has a high cost.” (Zaya)

“Lilith, how did you…” (I)

“This is not a curse, we are not targets either, this reaction is something we are suffering indirectly and comes from the same source…” (Lilith)

“You mean…” (I)

“If I feel it, then now that you’re calmer you must be feeling it too.” (Lilith)

“We need to go back now!” (I)

“Whatever is going on, we wouldn’t make it in time and he’s in the best place possible so we should keep going.” (Lilith)

“…” (I)

“You… you’re right…” (I)

“Also, I don’t think this is a bad thing, it might be mild, but I feel like I’m slightly stronger.” (Lilith)

“…” (I)

I couldn’t argue with what Lilith said, the master is in good hands.

I didn’t know about the issue of increasing strength that Lilith talked about and I didn’t care, now that my mind was calmer I must do some more magic to consolidate my situation.

“Do you know what they’re talking about?” (Zaya)

“No, but they seem to have a conclusion, so let’s wait a little longer.” (Hellyos)

“I would really like you to tell me about this, we can’t let this happen again, or else I’ll even be in danger from being around you guys.” (Zaya)

Pov Elizabeth’s:

I was seeing Natasha’s Dragon form from afar, it was as wild as I expected, but it wasn’t her that caught my attention the most, even in the distance my eyes were able to see the change in his arm, it seems that Zenos made more progress than imagined. 𝘦𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝑙.

Natasha’s next attacks were enough to change the geography of this area, but I soon realized that not even little brother was making decisions following his instincts without thinking, a good decision if he is able to resist the consequences, which he didn’t, and soon Natasha left he unconscious.

“It looks like it’s going as you predicted.” (I)

“The rebirth of flames is something Dragons do when they undergo a great change that affects them so deeply.” (Yaramaki)

“Your little brother is no different in that sense, it just shows how much he still has to resist if he wants to solve his current problem.” (Yaramaki)

“He reaps what he sows, I know he will survive, those of Selene’s lineage don’t die easily, but when it comes to my training he will wish he was dead.” (I)
