In the sky above the warring armies, Broidrireg was forming his spells. Suzaki made a screeching sound that carried a powerful mental attack. The magic users down below who heard the cry received extreme headaches. Those who were forming their spells lost their concentration and their spell formations fizzled.
"Hahaha! That is tickling. Did you forget who I am?" Broidrireg laughed. The depth of his mind could not be disrupted even by such a powerful mental attack.
Suzaki knew it was almost impossible to stop Broidrireg's spell-castings. She was hoping that old age had decreased the dragon's powerful mind. She saw then one of the spells was almost completed. She flapped her wings and put some distance.
One of the completed eight-rune spells conjured a huge waterfall from the sky. The falling water seemed to be alive and it chased after the fleeing phoenix.
The water volume was so great that it seemed as if a tsunami happened in the sky. Suzaki was like a tiny fish when this tsunami went after her.
Broidrireg completed his second eight-rune spell. Suzaki, who was flying at top speed to flee the sky tsunami, suddenly found the air ahead of her becoming unruly. This air then burst into a storm unlike one that could have happened naturally.
The turbulence within the storm was so great that even a being like Suzaki who could fly through any storm had difficulty flying.
The spell was called Primal Storm. The storm didn't get any weaker as time pa.s.sed. It became even more chaotic. Suzaki was helpless as she was swept by this storm. Suzaki received damage numbers every second she was inside this storm.
The tsunami arrived then. It crashed into the raging wind. Suzaki was tossed around inside the raging wind and water with seemingly no way out. The damage she received increased when the water joined the storm.
While Suzaki endured the two mighty spells, Broidrireg continued casting his mega spell. It was finally completed after forming seven runes.
Five eastern dragons made of golden light came out of the completed spell formation. These dragons were as big as Broidrireg. These dragons of pure energy then flew toward the target designated by Broidrireg, Suzaki.
Suzaki knew the danger of the mega spell. Though it looked like a summon spell, the five dragons were an offensive spell. One that would chase after its target relentlessly. If she was. .h.i.t by any of these dragons, the damage she received would be astronomical.
Even though she knew that she couldn't let the mega spell hit, there was little she could do. She wasn't able to free herself from the sky tsunami and primal storm.
When the five dragons approached, Suzaki braced herself. She would be close to death after this was over.
Five thick beams of different elements suddenly shot from below. These elemental beams of fire, ice, lightning, wind, and earth struck the five dragons. The beams were unable to destroy the five dragons. However, the dragons were knocked back and their golden light dimmed by a little.
Suzaki took advantage of the delay to acc.u.mulate the fire mana. Broidrireg's two spells were also coming to an end so their power weakened. Suzaki made a shrill cry as her body burst with continuous fire.
This was the next level of her flame burst, Giga Flame Burst. She used up all the fire mana within her and in her surrounding, culminating in a burst of flames that seemed to be able to burn everything. The flames were burning even the wind and the water that was a.s.sailing her. The flames consumed everything until there was nothing but fire.
Even the five golden dragons were repelled by these flames and were unable to approach. A small sun seemed to have been created at the place where Suzaki was a moment ago.
The sun then shrank at an incredible speed, until it was just a small orb in front of Suzaki's beak. This...o...b..then unleashed fierce flames in the form of a beam at Broidrireg.
Broidrireg appeared to have known what would happen. The five golden dragons that were originally meant for offense, were now coiling themselves in front of Broidrireg, forming a defensive ball. Suzaki's flame beam struck this golden ball.
The collision between the two energies went on for a few seconds. The gold l.u.s.ter of the five coiling dragons continued to dim but they stayed in their position. The flame beam was unable to pierce or knock them away.
The two energies finally exhausted their energy. The golden dragons dimmed until they finally waned out of existence, while the flame beam died down.
Suzaki was panting. The act of using Giga Glame Burst was something that drained her. Yet, even with that ultimate move, all it achieved was only blocking Broidrireg's mega spell from hitting her. Broidrireg himself still hadn't exerted much of his energy. It was clear from this exchange who was the winner.
It was a golden opportunity to finish off Suzaki who was still trying to gather herself. Yet, Broidrireg didn't resume his a.s.sault. He was staring at the ground below, at the source of the five elemental beams.
Down there, a five-headed dragon had crept out of the woodland in the East. It was Fear's Primordial Hydra. The five heads on the hydra had different colors. They were red, blue, yellow, green, and purple, representing the five elements. This hydra was the one who fired the five elemental beams that buy Suzaki enough time to use her giga flame burst.
The Primordial Hydra looked up at Broidrireg in the sky. Their five pairs of eyes displayed the desire to contest against the old dragon. The Primordial Hydra was also considered a dragon. Yet, its blood was impure. True dragons had always looked down on it. It wanted very much to take down one of these so-called true dragons so that it could prove that itself was not inferior.
Even so, it couldn't fly. The terrain it most preferred was water. It would take on any creature underwater, but it could only watch the ones in the sky.
Since it couldn't fly up there to challenge Broidrireg, it chose the available targets on the ground. It walked on four powerful legs toward where the armies were fighting. Following behind it was a legion of cultists. It was the Cult of Phobos. Leading these cultists were Strah, Korku, Arlstraxx, and also Master who had retreated earlier.
Broidrireg narrowed his eyes and muttered. "What is this…? Does the G.o.d of Fear seek the wrath of the other G.o.ds?"
