Chapter 1070: Cleaning The City Ruins
-----
The city of Claria was once one of the biggest cities of the continent, overflowing with life, it was a city of artists, musicians, crafters, blacksmiths, and alchemists, where the most genius minds of the continent gathered to attend their many academies of arts.
Yet one day, it faced its imminent destruction, as endless waves of Draconic Beasts and empowered Lizard Men massacred everything, killing, and eating their inhabitants.
The forces of Fafnir took over this beautiful city and destroyed its art, burning most of its academies, and then building enormous nests where they laid their countless eggs, which kept hatching both lizard men and sometimes Draconic Aberrations, creating an area where armies would be created constantly, giving them an edge against the remaining cities, especially the three port cities, two of them had already fallen, only with one remaining, the Port of Everfrost.
Yet the scene was much more different now, the monsters inside were all being massacred mercilessly by an endless army of beings composed of corrupted souls, blood, flesh, and shadows combined together into one crimson and black creature, Abyssal Vampiric Undead Familiars.
And to make it more terrifying, they were very similar to them, most of them led by the exact general that had died before, Erdremath, brought back to an undeath form of terrifying power.
With his giant sword, he cut through his former allies like a beast, their sliced bodies splattering over the floor, the beasts that came towards him were bombarded with elemental magic as he even used Dragon Tongue perfectly, if not even better than before.
The castle of Claria, once governed by nobles that loved arts, was now full of nests with giant, slimy eggs laid by the mutated lizard men, Blake could be seen walking inside of it, after he heard the voice of the agonizing general Eleanora killed, he smiled.
"Looks like we've killed the queen bee, the rest of the hive should go down easily."
He swung his spear, crushing the eggs as he moved, setting them ablaze as he heard the aberrant screams of the mutated monstrosities growing inside, he gave them a swift death, as they turned into ashes within seconds.
He controlled his flames with ease, combining Holy Flames, Spiritual Flames, Demonic Flames, and Dragon Flames, creating pale silver, white-, and gold-colored flames, further boosted by the powers he inherited by eating Bestellen's heart.
"Stop him!"
"Shyeeeh!"
"Dieee!"
Suddenly he found himself surrounded by a hundred powerful lizardmen, covered with heavy draconic, magically enchanted armor, they were as strong as A+++ Rank monsters.
"{All-Consuming Divine Flames of the End}"
FLUOOOSH!
A storm of his unique flames consumed everything, the lizardmen threatening him, which were seconds from reaching him, exploded into ashes instantly, leaving nothing behind other than their souls.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"Ah, my bad, I should have left some blood and your shadows… Right."
Blake felt like it was slightly a waste he had not turned them into Abyssal Vampiric Undead Familiars, as he quickly decided to kill the second half of the army coming towards him differently.
"{Umbral Crimson Arts}: {Vampire Colossus Fist}"
Suddenly, shadows, demonic power, and blood energy combined together into two gigantic, muscular arms, which Blake used to pulverize his foes with ease.
The gigantic fists crushed their bodies, splattering them into the ground, they didn't lost their mass though, even though they had splattered quite a lot.
BAAAM! BAAAM! BAAAM! BAAAM!
"F-Fire Dragon Magic!"
"Bring the beast!"
"Use the Dragon Breath Cannons!"
More and more foes kept coming for him, the lizardmen trying to organize as best as he could, after eating so many elves, they grew smarter. Blake knew it because he had asked the ones he killed.
Lizard men were primitive, pseudo sapient beings created in the past by the Divine Dragons, this was a revelation Bestellen told him rather casually, as the Dragon crushed hundreds of foes at once.
They weren't meant to be people, but they were given enough intelligence to develop a strong ego, making them fearful and barbaric beasts who thought the world belonged to them.
They harbored a great hatred against the elves, who took over the continent and decided to protect the Yggdrasil Tree themselves.
For years they lived in a desolate area, hunting down elves as they could while trying to escape their dominion.
Until this moment happened, Fafnir Awakened, and he led them towards victory, towards total elf destruction.
They not only massacred them, but they also ate their flesh and brains, gaining their magical powers and at the same time, inheriting their intelligence.
The more elves they ate, especially their brains and hearts, the stronger they grew and the smarter each generation was born, which was born every one or two months.
Now, they were even capable of war tactics, the ability to use magic seamlessly, and even using artifacts crafted by their master, Fafnir himself.
"…" Stay updated through мѵʟ
Blake confronted the lizardmen, as they brought giant cannons shaped as dragons, which they loaded with dragon blood crystals, created by Fafnir in tremendous quantities as he feed upon Yggdrasil's spiritual divine energy.
Loading the cannons, they fired gigantic dragon breaths, hitting him one after another, huge explosions that shook the entire castle erupted endlessly, shaking everything everywhere.
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
They kept shooting relentlessly, without end! Ultimately, they ended, the cannons entered into a cooldown as smoke was released from their dragon-shaped heads.
The smoke dissipated, as the lizardmen watched.
"D-Did that do it?"
"Those were… cannons strong enough to kill strongest elves!"
"Dragon crystals powerful, possess Fafnir's strength!"
They watched expecting Blake's death, but quite obviously, he was just as fine as before, unscathed, his body covered by his armor of silver, black, and red dragon scales.
And by his side, there was a huge dragon he summoned out of nowhere, Ruby.
"GRRHHHH…"
Ruby glared at the lizardmen with fury and anger.
"A-A dragon?!"
"There's another scaled god?!"
"H-How!"
Blake ignored them, glancing at Ruby.
"Do you see what they have to do to imitate a speck of our strength?" he asked. "Let me show you how a real dragon breath looks like."
Blake opened his jaws.
"Get off my sight."
And then, a blinding silver and crimson light surged from within.
The lizardmen and whatever aberrations accompanied them were engulfed on an endless beam of pure destruction.
And everything disappeared within seconds.
BOOOMMM!!!
