Chapter 21: Chapter 21 I am Bahamut, brutal end?
There once was a king who sought eternal life. To satisfy his ambitions, he dispatched a band of his men, who discovered the ancient Rite of Elixir.
The man that put on the mask Silver scales seemed to crawl out from the mask it was a brutal process for every part of the man's body that was touched by the scales and covered was reformed not too fast not too slow.
the sound of flesh being moved before being ripped then healed followed.
the sound of bone expanded before being crushed then healed continued.
As the man's body expanded, he fell to his arms and knees as the unnatural growth of three additional protrusions emerged from his back, two from his upper spine and the last one from his lumbar spine these additions were also covered in scales while each joint had gold-colored spikes.
the sound of the vigorous movement of muscle could be heard as the new Bahamut was born.
It took a few heavy breaths before letting out a thick amount of steam from its maw before facing the sky with renewed vigor while Grumwelt did understand what he was seeing right now!
*RAAAAWWWWRRRRRRRR!!!!*
it roared at the heavens as the memories of Cu told it of its current task.
when putting on the mask one becomes the archfiend and it holds an even greater significance when the original no longer exists.
As the Bahamut was a single-tier below the gods, it was a king that had the wyverns and valkyries under its command.
as when it roared earlier the countless numbers of wyverns and valkyries responded as if a flock responding to its leader as their roars echoed through the world as they all felt it... their king is back!
it was a peculiar sensation when Bahamut felt the spiritual connections it suddenly gained from the other archfiends, the doppelgangers, and their lesser copies, Bahamut was the archfiend that was a leader to keep its kind in check as the elven queen was calling to him full of longing and love it was now rushing to him.
Grumwelt was feeling something it was the same feeling that comes from the leader of the bloodlines those that receive the title of 'king' from their god...
THE FEAR AND AWE... OF A BEING OF ABSOLUTE POWER...!!!
"ɨȶ ƈǟռ'ȶ ɮɛ!!! ɨȶ'ֆ ɨʍքօֆֆɨɮʟɛɛɛ!!! ʄօʀ ʍɛ ȶօ ʄɛǟʀ ǟ ʍɛʀɛ ֆօʀƈɛʀɛʀ....!!!"
Grumwelt quickly gathered his magic hastily healing his body as he wanted to eliminate this atrocity...!!!
This abomination!!!
Grumwelt's frame expanded in size as he would never allow a being that could be a threat to his king to live!!!
"ɨ ƈǟռռօȶ ǟƈƈɛքȶ ȶɦɨֆֆֆ!!!"
As the dragon was making its preparations, Bahamut was making its own, no elements, no tricks, just pure mana as it was making a large ball of magic that expanded before shrinking, which expanded then shrunk again it was applying the ideas of forcing magic to shrink to the size of an atom.
and what would happen should an atom be split?
"ȶɦɨֆ ɨֆ ʍʏ ȶʀʊɛ ʄօʀʍ ʊռʟɛǟֆɦɨռɢ ȶɦɛ ʄʊʟʟ ʍǟɢɨƈ քօաɛʀ ʀɛֆɨɖɨռɢ ɨռ ʍʏ ɮʟօօɖ...!"
Bahamut then pointed towards the dragon and the other hand seemed to pull the body of Raonika towards it covered in a dome of magic. it was making sure that her body would be unharmed.
the Dragon's chest and neck were glowing red from the heat of its flames as well as the amount of magic that was put in before proudly claiming.
"ǟռɖ ȶɦɨֆ ɨֆ ʍʏ ʍօֆȶ քօաɛʀʄʊʟ ɮʀɛǟȶɦ օʄ..."
By the time Grumwelt tried saying the word 'flames' an extremely small orb had already appeared in front of the dragon's face before it was split.
Everything went silent for a moment before a bright light emerged and reached for the skies!
the explosion was deafening as a pillar of magic had appeared the nearby mountains, trees, and unlucky peepers crumbled to dust thankfully Bahamut had the magic spread upwards as everything within five miles was dead like the badlands that was made by Cu's original black rite.
The anger Bahamut/Cu felt towards the dragons now had spread to all of the archfiends under his command and the scarier thing was the intelligence and knowledge that Cu had shared about dragons unconsciously gave them an upper hand even more so for the next thing their king will gain.
Bahamut had appeared in front of the nearly dead dragon that looked at him with so much hatred and fear before the next thing brought terror Bahamut knew how to sacrifice as he raised his right arm over Grumwelt then absorbed him taking his memories, his magic, his life and it wasn't all at once as he wanted something, so he took his time gradually taking everything from the superior dragon!
the scaled being took advantage of the loop that none of the sorcerers bothered to try using sacrificing the target piece by piece rather than as a whole the gains were less however it increases the chance of getting everything the enemy had, Bahamut couldn't claim the honors for this as it was using whatever it could with the knowledge and ideas that Cu had.
too bad it was limited or it would've been able to bring more damage to the already crumbling balance.
Bahamut then used the ability to save on Reonika as she was barely breathing her body was restored before he had sent her body towards the damaged town thanks to Bahamut's last attack the walls that protected it was broken so the people were trying to repair it at this moment.
Branden was the first to notice the flying orb that carried Reonika before running to it as he feared for the worst of his friend since she arrived on her own.
while he wanted to go check on his friend but the pillar of light earlier made him feel fear as there was a chance that whatever caused it may come to this town and harm his family so he apologized to Cu inwardly as he had his priorities that he can't risk losing.
but he will try to take care of Reonika as best as he could while hoping that his friend would return.
Bahamut was busy absorbing the knowledge and 'gifts' of the dragon the fire breath was upgraded beyond compare, the dragon also gave +5 to vitality repeatedly until it was finally dead, and gained a boost to its innate spell Devil's razor which lessened the cost of it and increased in damage making it come close to breaking through its gold rank.
It knew that Cu would eventually take control again so it was trying to strengthen its flock as much as possible before then thus the knowledge it shared was something that made his flock hunt for dragons crazily as they were just a bundle of magic waiting to be devoured by them as Cu original amount of magic more than doubled upon sacrificing the dragon completely.
while it was a shame that the blood chains weren't taken but the boons were good too as the wyverns, valkyries, and elven queens were now hunting dragons in a frenzy thanks to the mental connection they had as the anger of their king lingered and the boost in power they received from devouring dragons made them double no triple their efforts!
Bahamut looked towards the unnaturally growing storm as the influx of magic was enticing, however, it had to surrender its control as Cu was slowly awakening, it was looking forward to what this reincarnated human now sorcerer would do.
As a new war for this world had begun.
