Chapter 117: "Oblivion"
Facing someone who could be considered a human power, the battle was not going to be difficult, there was a high chance of losing. But defeat did not matter now.
Not important now was time and obviously, life and death.
The rays of negative energy disappeared into small particles after their intense collision with the dragon's attack.
The giant hand, on the other hand, remained in the same place after shattering the dragon's energy light like crystal.
"If that's all? ... No, actually, it's nothing," the dragon declared, this time not with a threatening tone, but beautiful, almost divine.
Theos raised an eyebrow suspiciously. 'What is this sudden change,' he wondered, having a bad feeling in his head.
Quickly Theos gave another signal with his hand. The giant hand responded to his command, falling straight towards the sacred dragon.
"I also have a hand that helps me," smiled the holy dragon showing its sharp fangs.
The energy on its back concentrated a figure, like a cross of sorts. Seeing this, Theos instantly knew what it was... 'Sacred Mana', he remembered.
'Sacred dragons are named that way because of their Mana, the sacred Mana, and this Mana has a great peculiarity... It can talk to Gods.
Yes, that Mana can communicate with the gods.
It has several abilities and utilities, but the most outstanding one is to be able to ask for favors from the Gods.
And by the Mana that the dragon accumulated on its back, Theos realized that this Mana was a favor asked to the Gods.
However, why would he do such a thing than ask favors from the gods? Why go to such lengths to defeat him? Isn't the Dragon a Supreme rank?
Yes, and indeed, it is a very powerful rank, under normal circumstances, the Dragon would kill Theos with a blow, but now they are in the Underworld... A technique created by the Dragons of Death and Darkness.
And guess who are the natural enemies of the Holy Dragons? That's right, the Dragons of Death and Darkness.
Sacred Dragons specialize more in offense, while Dragons of Death and Darkness specialize more in weakening the enemy and summoning.
Dragons of death and darkness are naturally weak to the attacks of holy dragons, especially light dragons. However, holy dragons are very weak against their summons.
Not only that but what usually weakens the ability of death dragons, holy dragons weaken them much more.
And now that I remember well, the creators of the Mana of Death, a variant of negative Mana, are the Dragons of Death and Darkness themselves, one of the few races that created a Mana using negative Mana as a variant.
Mana has possibly been around since the beginning of the universe.
A dragon of darkness and a sacred dragon can fight as equals, although the Dragons of death and darkness would have a slight advantage, that advantage would be broken by the Favor that the sacred dragons can ask the Gods.
And the Holy Dragon in front of Theos performed a favor... After concentrating so much Mana at such a high speed that not even the giant hand had reached it, from its back a light began to illuminate all the darkness.
The light quickly took the shape of a hand, a giant hand... A hand of God.
*Boom*
The giant hand full of darkness and negative energy collided with the divine hand, two blows that made cracks in the cube of the Underworld, not even the barriers created by Theos could stop such a shockwave.
Using his maximum capacity, Theos flew towards the sacred dragon.
He couldn't depend on the giant hand; after all, he was fighting a Divine Hand. Would he be victorious?
Theos didn't want to know that question, so he quickly went to the holy dragon. The latter also answered, making its body bigger and bigger until it was 5 meters tall.
"Do you think you can intimidate me with that?", Theos joked, his eyes getting colder and colder.
His murderous intent shifted all over the battlefield. Right now, even though his main goal before and now was to buy time, he undoubtedly wanted to kill this guy in front of him.
If he manages to escape alive, this dragon sees Luna and himself. Wouldn't it be dangerous? What if he informs the other Dragons that we came to steal some of his most beloved potions? No doubt they will hunt him down, even in the mortal realm.
And after all, he and Luna would be easy to identify. There are very few of us in the world who have hair as black and dark as Theos and Luna, plus he is world-famous and has two different colored eyes.
Very easy to identify...
Theos frowned, making a hand signal, a new command.
Just a few centimeters away from colliding with the Holy Dragon, another dark hand was created, just like the previous one, its greatness being superior even to that of the dragon.
"Insolent," he roared, opening his mouth where he accumulated a large amount of sacred Mana...
Theos knew very well what that was, a "Sacred Breath", one of the most powerful offensive attacks of a sacred dragon and the ones that dragons of death fear the most.
But how could Theos let him make such an attack?
He is not more powerful than a holy dragon; in fact, he is much weaker; he is just taking advantage of his advantage.
His power, nor physical, not even in a clash of skills in a normal way would Theos come out on top on any occasion.
However, that doesn't mean that he is going to give up or that there is no chance of winning...
Theos' left eye glowed brightly in a crimson color, even brighter than the dragon's own Sacred Breath Dragon.
The two stared at each other: the dragon with a confident look, Theos with an extremely cold and murderous look.
From Theos' lips came only one word: "Oblivion."
