Chapter 467: Devourer Domain



Chapter 467: Devourer Domain

Dragons were considered the rulers of the sky. They were the overlords ruling over the monsters, and many considered them sacred beasts.

Their enormous bodies filled with scales boasted of eccentric beauty. They were filled with noble elegance and mighty strength that made them revered across the world.

There was a reason why many noble families used dragons as their symbols. It was because, despite their intimidating presence, Dragons had a fierce and wild charm that enchanted all the people that saw them.

But the dragon in front of Regina, Wave, Eve, and Kallevang was completely different.

After he fused with the devourer, his figure could only be described as gross, disgusting, and terrifying. His beautiful gray scales had become turbid as if they had been dirtied, and his flesh squirmed below his scales as though it was filled with worms.

He had turned into a monster.

But the dragon did not seem to care about that.

[Amazing!] He laughed crazily. [What amazing strength. Hahahaha, I feel that my strength is overflowing. Invincibility is so close!

[But this is not enough. Not enough! I need more strength!]

"Strength?" Wave gritted her teeth with an expression of rage. "Was that the reason why you forgot the pride of dragons? You have become a monster! Is it worth it!?"

[It is.] The dragon chuckled. [Only strength is important in this world, girl. Only if I become stronger, I can defeat him! Only if I become an Irregular I can have my revenge! I will show him how it feels to be crushed by the person he once humiliated!]

"You are crazy. Your obsession with strength has blinded you." Wave snarled, making Kallevang sigh.

"I hope that before dying, he can realize his wrongs." Kallevang then gripped his sword and stared at the dragon with a gaze full of killing intent.

But the dragon only sneered.

[It looks like none of you have not understood the situation yet. The one dying today won't be me. It will you!]

As soon as he finished speaking, he released a powerful surge of mana.

[Domain!] He shouted, and in that instant, a powerful pressure descended over Academy City.

The gravity increased crazily. In seconds, it had turned five times stronger than normal!

This sudden change in gravity was enough to seriously injure a normal person. In fact, most of the people in Academy City had trouble moving, and only a few people with a certain level of mana could rely on it to barely move under the increased gravity.

But that was just the start. One second later, all the people in Academy City felt their mana being drained away!

It was being absorbed by the dragon!

"Bastard!" Wave's expression turned ugly. She hurriedly tried to expand her own domain to cancel the dragon's domain, but in the next instant, she felt her mana escaping her control!

She was not the one. Eve, Kallevang, and Regina could feel the energy in their bodies being drained away. They even had trouble keeping flying.

"Focus on controlling your mana and try not to use it outside your body! That way the Devourer will not be able to absorb it easily!" Regina shouted to the other three.

But before they could follow Regina's instructions, the dragon moved!

[It's time that you understand what true strength is!]

With a roar, he used his claw and tail to attack the group!

Regina and Eve managed to avoid the attack, but Kallevang and Wave were not that lucky. They hurriedly tried to defend against the attack, but Kallevang's mana and Wave's barrier were absorbed as soon as they came into contact with the dragon and they were left defenseless.

*Boom!!!*

The two of them were then smashed against the ground.

[Hahahaha! This is true power!]

The dragon laughed and opened his mouth in their direction to release a dragon breath, but Eve attacked at that moment.

She appeared on the dragon's head and thrust her hand towards his forehead.

But as soon as she touched her forehead, she felt her mana draining away as well.

[It's useless!] The dragon looked at her mockingly and swatted her away.

However, Eve's figure turned translucid and she avoided the attack of the dragon.

She tried to attack once more when her body materialized again, but the dragon released the breath he was preparing in her direction.

[Die!]

"!!!"

Eve's eyes opened wide. She hurriedly tried to cast a barrier in front of her, only to see it crumble after having its mana drained away.

But when she thought that she would be unable to stop the attack, an energy barrier appeared in front of her, miraculously stopping the dragon's breath.

Then, the silver-haired Valkyrie appeared in front of the dragon, brandishing a giant energy blade towards his neck.

[It's useless!] The dragon smirked and raised his claw to attack Regina, not even bothering to defend against the energy blade.

But in the next instant, his eyes widened in astonishment.

Regina's energy blade injured him!

[Impossible!]

The dragon hurriedly twisted his body away to avoid the blade, but it was too late. A large wound appeared on his neck and blood flowed out of it in great amounts.

But to Regina's disappointment, she failed to kill him.

"A shame." She sighed when she saw the dragon distance himself from her.

She planned to catch the dragon by surprise and kill it using [Positive-Negative Energy Conversion] to counter the devourer's energy absorption, but the dragon's reacted faster than she expected and managed to move away in the last instant.

[Impossible! Why can't I absorb your mana!?] The dragon roared in surprise and fury. [No, it's not mana. What kind of energy are you using!?]

Regina ignored him and checked the condition of the other three demigods.

Kallevang and Wave had returned to the battle. They were injured, but it seemed like they could continue fighting. Eve, on the other hand, had not been injured. But she was frowning with a grave expression.

"It's not good. Our attacks are useless against him." She said.

"Mm. Moreover, the longer we fight him, the weaker we become and he becomes stronger." Kallevang nodded solemnly.

Wave fell silent before looking at Regina.

"Miss Regina, can you teach us how to injure him? Your attacks seem effective on him."

"I'm sorry. The method I used to injure him is based on an innate ability and is not something that I can teach you. I can only advise you to try to use physical attacks as much as possible. Attacks using mana will only strengthen him."

Wave, Eve, and Kallevang frowned.

That advice was as good as useless. Mana was the foundation of their abilities. Without it, they were nothing.

"I see. You will be the main attacker then as only your abilities can injure him. The three of us will support you." Wave could only suggest that.

Regina nodded.

The dragon had already calmed down by then. To Regina's surprise, the injury on his neck had stopped bleeding; moreover, he seemed slightly stronger than when she attacked him just now.

She frowned, only to realize that every second, a great amount of mana was being absorbed by the dragon.

"This is"

Regina's expression changed. She immediately understood that the dragon was not only absorbing mana from them but from all the people in Academy City!

He was using every one of them to become stronger!

She was about to tell the others about it, but suddenly, she noticed something happening below.

Bloed had been fighting the Blighted creatures together with Liu Ying, Aya, Eres, and the others, but they had also been affected by the dragon's domain, putting them in a dangerous situation.

They were barely holding on.

And just then, a creature attacked Bloed from behind!

"Master!" Regina exclaimed in a panic and tried to rush towards him. But at that moment, a giant magic circle appeared in the sky.

[I don't know how you managed to injure me, but it doesn't matter. I just need to get rid of you.]

Then, a black ray of light descended towards her.
