Chapter 407 Bringing Ruin
Isadora began to regain her senses after most of her body was burned. Her previous raging anger was now quenched by the heat generated by Dragon-Erend's fire.
Her burned body was gradually regenerating, albeit slightly slower than before. However, Dragon-Erend and Dragon-Eccar couldn't perceive the subtle deceleration in her regeneration.
"What should I do now?" Isadora racked her brain for a way out. She could choose to escape this situation, but could she really escape from the two Dragons? Isadora realized the likelihood of that was very slim.
Suddenly, Dragon-Erend dashed toward her. His movement was so abrupt that it caught Isadora off guard while she was deep in thought. Nevertheless, she still acted quickly enough to block a fireball shot from Dragon-Erend's mouth. Isadora created a pink-black energy shield which shattered upon receiving the fireball but managed to neutralize it, thus serving its purpose.
Dragon-Erend kept charging. In a matter of seconds, he was right in front of Isadora and threw a punch at her face.
*BUAGH!*
The punch made Isadora stumble, but she managed to hold her ground and retaliate against Dragon-Erend.
She knew that running wasn't an option. The two Dragonborns wouldn't let her escape so easily. So, she decided to put up her best fight against them.
Isadora gritted her teeth, regained her courage, and darted towards Dragon-Erend, engaging in a massive battle between two beings of almost equal strength. The battle continued to bring the domain closer to an unimaginable ruin. Mountains crumbled and collapsed, and the debris of Isadora's castle suffered even more damage due to their fight.
The sky above them thundered and swirled, forming a dark vortex due to the magic output generated by their fight. Meanwhile, Dragon-Eccar, who watched the battle closely, seemed unable to contain himself any longer.
Dragon-Eccar pumped his maximum power to free himself from the rift's trap, which had been continuously pulling him away.
"GRRRRHHH!!!"
A growl that seemed to shake the universe itself emanated from Dragon-Eccar. The crystals on his back seemed to shine, this time even brighter than before. The rift, unable to contain his rage and magic output, became increasingly narrower, as if afraid of his fury.
The sound of explosions, along with flashes of light from Dragon-Erend and Isadora's battle, seemed to cheer him on to push harder. And so, Dragon-Eccar did just that.
After a few moments of unleashing his magic, the rift finally closed completely. He grinned with his draconic face, then looked up. Without wasting any more time, Dragon-Eccar spread his wings and soared toward the battle.
However, another set of tentacles suddenly emerged from under Dragon-Erend's feet, taking him by surprise and causing him to stumble. Isadora immediately capitalized on it to launch her attack. She fired a beam of energy at Dragon-Erend, pushing him backward.
Isadora then proceeded to coat her claws with her Chaos Magic, using a significant amount of magic to reinforce them, hoping they would pierce Dragon-Erend's scales.
She lunged, raising her claws and bringing them down toward Dragon-Erend's neck. However, before her claws could make contact, a burst of white energy from Dragon-Eccar shot toward her, knocking her several meters to the side. Isadora felt an excruciating pain from the side of her body. When she looked, she noticed that part had started to crumble.
Her eyes widened, and she immediately drew more magic from her surroundings to heal the wound. Dragon-Eccar arrived nearby shortly after, grabbing her by the neck and slamming her onto the ground.
Meanwhile, Dragon-Erend struggled to remove the tentacles binding his legs.
"He can handle her. I don't need to rush," Dragon-Erend thought as he destroyed the tentacles. Now, it was Eccar's turn to engage in the fight he had been craving for.
Dragon-Eccar slammed Isadora to the ground repeatedly, creating small earthquakes in the surrounding area with each impact. While doing so, Dragon-Eccar continued to display a savage grin and eyes filled with savagery. Isadora had become the target of his wrath, making her experience far worse.
"I need to escape!" Isadora screamed in her mind. Suddenly, her body emitted a dazzling pink light, causing Dragon-Eccar to reflexively shut his eyes. This gave Isadora the opportunity to break free.
She shrank her body to half its original size and began flying away from Dragon-Eccar.
"This is a foolish decision! I can't defeat two Dragonborns at once! I have to get out of here as fast as I—"
Before Isadora could fly far, a claw snatched her and slammed her back onto the ground, thwarting her escape plan.
She hadn't had a chance to process what had just happened when a torrent of fire engulfed her, sending an intense heat.
"ARRRRGGHHHHH!!!"
Isadora screamed and desperately tried to evade, but her mind was now a jumble due to the heat and despair. She couldn't do anything other than flail her arms aimlessly.
And then, earth emerged from beneath her body and covered her, intensifying the heat of the fire.
She roasted in that state for several seconds. Her screams echoed throughout her domain. The swirling clouds in the sky rumbled as witnesses to her suffering.
After a while, Isadora's screams finally waned and disappeared. The domain fell silent, leaving only the rumbling in the sky.
'I think she's dead,' Dragon-Eccar said.
[ Urgent Quest Completed! ]
[ Reward: 1,000 Exp. ]
[You leveled up! ]
'Yeah,' Dragon-Erend replied after he was sure, seeing the notification. 'I'll talk to my friends.'
He immediately contacted Aurdis and informed her that he had completed one of his tasks here. Now, he would move on to the next stage and search for Ozynk's domain.
Dragon-Erend couldn't talk to Aurdis for too long, knowing they were busy over there. So, he kept his words brief.
'Let's go. Now, we head to Ozynk's place. You know the way, right?' Dragon-Erend asked.
'Yes. Let's go.'
Dragon-Eccar took off, and Dragon-Erend followed suit.
~~~
Erend's task in the Chaos Realm might be finished, but Aurdis and the others here are still facing significant difficulties. Julius-Ozynk continues to launch attacks that prevent them from approaching his body and deploys that black-red shield to deflect their long-range attacks.
'This is gonna be a tough one,' Adrien thought to himself, grimacing and holding his wounded thigh.
