Chapter 517: The Last Bout [Pt 2]
Dragons are considered the strongest in all of H'Trae, and for good reason.
Their strength, speed, power, and a multitude of other aspects, place them above any living being in the entire world.
They are considered unstoppable.
As a result of this esteemed position, being blessed with some form of Passive Magic Skills from birth, the Dragons have no use for Skills like [Combat Application], or developing tactics like other weak races do.
Their power is often more than enough to raze their enemies to the ground and decimate any who stand in their way.
Teamwork. Strategy. Counterattacks; these are the things that these all-powerful Dragons do not possess.
The hubris of the strong... one that could prove fatal when a dire situation emerges.

"[MORDRED]!"
As Kar'en heard those words, she knew yet another attack was about to unfold.
So far, every new word that the human uttered gave rise to a new pattern of assault and a new ability.
[AVALON] was a defensive ability, and [MORGAN] was an immensely destructive assault.
'It seems [LANCELOT] is for piercing and shattering attacks or defenses.' She thought to herself, watching as the Hero grew closer.
'But... what in the world could this new attack be?'
Depending on what it was, defense could be ineffective against it. That meant, according to Kar'en's calculations, the best move to make was to attack.
... Attack before he could cook up whatever attack he was about to unleash!
'[Absolute Crimson Ray]' The bright burst of red energy appeared in front of Adonis, ready to erupt in his face.
Then—
~SHIIING!~
A bright golden barrier formed around him that very instant.
'A-ah!' Kar'en's eyes widened in realization as she recognized the Skill he just used. 'I forgot he had another defense Skill other than [AVALON].'
Her plan was to either force him to use [AVALON] to protect himself, which would automatically cancel out this new attack he was about to unleash, or more preferably... for her [Absolute Crimson Ray] to hit.
Either way, she would emerge victorious from the next attack.
'Curse Magic doesn't seem very effective on him, so... why don't I use something else...?' Kar'en searched within the confines of her [Copy] Skill's arsenal and found the perfect move to utilize.
"[Gravity Crush]"
Her grin widened as she observed both of her opponents, waiting for them to fall under the pressure of intense gravity.
But...
"Guh!" A loud groan echoed from her as she felt her body suddenly assailed by the full might of her own Skill.
'W-what?!' Her bulging eyes nearly popped out of her socket as she found herself descending to the ground at an astronomical pace.
At that very moment, Kar'en instinctively knew which direction to look at. She knew precisely the cause of the attack.
'It's YOU!' Glaring deeply at the Grand Mage of the Alliance, the crimson Dragon gritted her teeth in fury.
Lucielle had both hands pointed towards Kar'en, with her eyes glowing with a strange mix of colors. The boy beside her looked perfectly normal in his naked form—healed from his burns and the squished state he was in.
'W-what?! She's already done healing him?!' The Dragon General's eyes widened even further.
No, that wasn't the important thing at the moment.
'She hijacked my Skill's effect again, didn't she? That bitch!' Kar'en didn't have the luxury to get too fixated on Lucielle, however, considering the two warriors who were hot on her trail.
She was tempted to use a Skill to blow them all away, but a sudden thought of caution stopped her from acting.
'What if it backfires...?'
She didn't want to take such a risk, considering how averse to pain or damage she was.
And so, her instinct rang in.
'Let's get away for now. I'll take the higher ground.'
Swiftly undoing the Gravity Skill, as well as activating her Spatial Skill very quickly, she prepared herself to teleport.
However...
~ZZZTZZ!~
The Spatial Magic didn't activate at all. No... more like it could not activate.
'What?! Did she do this too? Even though I activated it too quickly for the human mind to process?!' Kar'en glared at Lucielle once again.
However, she was mistaken in this assumption.
Lucielle was not the one responsible for the failure of her Spatial Magic. It was simply due to the influence of the Divine Blade, which warped space and prevented it from being stable enough to ensure Spatial Travel.
As a result, Kar'en had nowhere to run to.
"Tch!" Gritting her teeth, she decided to simply not rely on Skills and solely use her physical abilities to destroy her targets.
Her Combat Ability was over 30,000, after all... and most of it went into strength. One move from her would completely squash all of her enemies.
"DIE!" Aiming her claws towards Adonis, while lashing her tail towards Brutus, she prepared to at least push them away from herself—even if killing them was too ambitious.
All of a sudden, the energy rushing from the Divine Blade ceased, creating a stable spatial template around them.
Then—
~WHISH!~
The Hero and the Head Warrior suddenly swapped places—with Adonis now ready to receive the attack of the Dragon's tail, while Brutus braced himself to receive the claw.
Neither were fast enough to properly evade her attack, neither were they strong enough to parry the strike.
However... they didn't need to.
~WUUUSH!~
Adonis' [Absolute Defense] covered Brutus, causing him to be safely entrapped in a compact golden layer of protection.
The attack from Kar'en sent the sphere flying downwards, but Brutus was saved from being absolutely mutilated.
Then, as for Adonis—
"Huuu..."
The moment the tail was about to slap and completely crush his whole body, something began to flicker from his blade at an immense rate.
It was pure energy.
~VWUUUUUUSH!~
The outburst of that energy created such a powerful torrent that it pushed the Dragon's tail away, causing the massive thing to fly upward.
The moment the tail was out of the way, Adonis was greeted with an opening that he could not refuse.
... An opening that would probably never present itself to him ever again.
—Kar'en's butthole!
'This is my chance!' Adonis thought to himself, ready to thrust his Divine Blade into her rectum.
'I won't fail!'
