[Your Soulstone of Gluttony is attempting to devour the target.]
[The target violently struggles at the devouring.]
[Your Soulstone of Pride's 'Embodiment of Pride' has been activated.]
[Your Soulstone of Pride is attempting to overwhelm the target.]
[The target rejected the Soulstone of Pride and Gluttony.]
[Your Soulstone of Pride is attempting to force the target.]

[Your Soulstone of Gluttony reveals its greedy nature to devour the target.]
[Your Soulstone of Pride shows it's extreme arrogance to the target.]
Zephyr was like in a game of 'tag of war' as the barrier was firmly refusing the predation. However, both soulstone were not backing down as it attempted to show the dominance over the barrier.
Hyrkan widened his eyes seing Zephyr possessed a soulstone and not just 1 but 2. As a transcendent who lived a long life, he naturally knew what the soulstone are unlike Zephyr.
Soulstones, each one possessed gigantic amounts of power still surpassing Gods and Demons. The Soulstones themselves embodies all the various energies and power sources.
Magical Power, Holy Power, Demonic Power, Draconic Power, and many more, all merged together into a new form of energy all together that can be used anywhere in anything. Allowing whoever who can successfully harness a stone the ability the potential to use every single ability, skill and power in Tensura.
It was stated to have a total of fourteen soulstones, with seven symbolizing the seven virtues and seven more that symbolizes the seven sins. Hyrkan was also sure that the soulstones Zephyr possessed belongs to the seven deadly sins.
Seven Deadly Sins: The Soulstones were stated to symbolize and embody various abilities to absorb and forcibly assimilate other things into themselves by force and making it part of them.
Seing Zephyr intensified the predation, Hyrkan was touched as he was serious about breaking the seal. As he didn't want his friend to suffer because of him, he immediately suggested a way for Zephyr.
(This prison was made for me. It's impossible for me to escape in flesh. The chance of destroying the barrier is 0%.)
Zephyr listened to Hyrkan but he didn't stopped his attempt. He also didn't argue as Hyrkan knew better than Zephyr about the barrier as he had been with the barrier for 500 years. As Zephyr was about to stop the predation, Hyrkan continued.
(But there's other way. Should you prepare a suitable host for my spirit ahead of time, we would have the success rate of 3%. This process is like a reincarnation.)
Zephyr tilted his head as he was confused on what Hyrkan was saying. Well it was natural, in modern earth, you won't encounter things like this.
(If I detach my soul and spirit, I need a suitable host and prepare a core and moving there...just like reincarnation!)
Zephyr fell into a deep thought as he asked Hyrkan.
"If there's something I have to prepare, Should go and look for it?"
(The thing is, a don't need a core as I am a 'Perfect being!' I am a transcendent and transcendents were also considered as spiritual life forms.
Thus I have no attachments to this body. I merely like this body.)
Zephyr then partially understood what Hyrkan said. Gather the magical energy with one's mind and form the flesh. However, Zephyr also knew that this also has great risk.
One mistake and Hyrkan will cease to exist. Then that would mean that his effort has no meaning at all. Zephyr then remembered one of the ability of the Soulstone of Gluttony.
[Large Stomach]: An enormous amount of space is made available through the use of this ability, allowing the user to store anything they can devour.
Zephyr thought that he should devour Hyrkan instead of the barrier and place him into the stomach. Then Zephyr will find a way at the meantime or let the Soulstone of Gluttony slowly absorb the barrier within the stomach.
Zephyr then explained at Hyrkan his plan. As Hyrkan knew of this ability, he agreed to Zephyr.
(Fukuhahahahaha! Interesting! I'll try it. I'll entrust everything to you. Rather than waiting here, leaving together inside of you sounds more interesting!)
Zephyr nodded then focused again with the predation. Suddenly a notification appeared in front of Zephyr.
[Freedom of the Arcane Dragon]
Difficulty: SSS
The Arcane Dragon Hyrkan Lexus had been sealed for 500 years. After a long time, he finally met someone who can free himself.
Quest Clear Conditions: Free Hyrkan Lexus from the seal
Quest Clear Rewards: Title 'Dragon Knight',
Maximum Affinity with Hyrkan Lexus.
Quest Failure: None.]
Zephyr looked at the notification and nodded. Even without it, Zephyr had already intended to free him anyway. As attempting to destroy the barrier is the wrong approach, Zephyr changed his way and tried to devour everything including Hyrkan.
[Your Soulstone of Gluttony is attempting to devour the target.]
[The target rejected the Soulstone of Gluttony.]
Zephyr's attempt wasn't enough as the barrier was created by many Tier 6 existence. As a Tier 1, it was nonsense to attempt it. As he was blocked by an invulnerable wall, Zephyr thought outside of the box and tried to find a way.
He thought of anything within him that can help him in the current situation. Zephyr then remembered of what his class is, Sword Saint.
Zephyr pulled out and held his Aetherius Sword and attempted to cut the barrier. Zephyr used [Cresent Stream] as he simultaneously slashed the barrier. Cuts appeared on the barrier however it immediately returned to normal.
Even if the Sword Saint has the ability to cut anything, destroying is a different thing. Especially with the current state of Zephyr who was a Tier 1, destroying a barrier created by Tier 6 entities is impossible.
It was like a single ant trying to demolish a hundred floor building. However, Zephyr wasn't discouraged at all. Seing he could inflict some cut in the barrier, Zephyr went all out.
Zephyr equipped the Aetherius Set making his stats rise to exponential rate. However, he knew this won't be enough. Zephyr then summoned Tetsuya who was in the pet space after he was sucked into the vortex.
Tetsuya then used his buff to Zephyr as Zephyr also used Giant's Strength.
[You has received Kyuubi's Blessing.]
[Your strength and vitality will rise by 10% for 5 minutes.]
[Your defense will rise by 10% and restores your health by 10% per second for 5 minutes.]
[Giant's Power has been Activated.]
[Your strength stat has increased.]
Zephyr took a deep breath sensing a strong power inside of him. He then used the skill from the set effect of Aetherius Set.
"Hero's Domain!"
[Territory of the Hero, has been announced. You can apply your power within the specified territory.]
[Within a limited time, all stats increase.]
[Within a limited time, all physical defenses increase.]
[Within a limited time, all element defenses increase.]
[...]
[Hero's Domain]
[Declare and announce your domain around 20 meters around you for 1 minute.
* Movement speed and damage will increase by 20%.
* All stats will increase by 10%.
* Enemy's stats will reduce by 15%.]
Blue magic circles spread under his feet as Zephyr's territory was created. Zephyr then gazed at Hyrkan who was surprised at the sudden changes in Zephyr.
[The target is a dragon.]
[The title 'Journey of the Myths' and Soulstone of Pride's effect is activated.]
[You are a legendary surpassing a legend. You are a living Myth.]
[The Pride Embodiment has risen to the rank of a transcendent and threatens the dragon. The Absolute Defense of Hyrkan is disabled.]
Without wasting a single second, Zephyr then used his [Vorpal Destruction] and all of his sword skills as he thought that the barrier was Hyrkan's defense and not a seal.
Zephyr's sword flew against the fierce momentum and penetrated Hyrkan.
[You have dealt 1,500 damage to the target!]
[You have dealt 1,430 damage to the target!]
[You have dealt 1,610...]
[You have dealt 1,290...]
A storm of energy blades struck Hyrkan. The scratches of cuts on the dragon scales and cracks began to appear in the barrier as it was hit along with Hyrkan by Zephyr's all out attack. Shockwaves and strong breeze of air resounded through the cave because of the impact.
However, the barrier began to return to its previous state but to Zephyr, it was more than enough.
[Your Soulstone of Gluttony is attempting to devour the target.]
['The Soulstone of Pride' expresses displeasure.]
The predation became even more violent and torrential than before. Pride! The sin that dismissed all others as beneath it and forced them to give in had risen.
['The Soulstone of Pride' uses its pride to crush the struggles of the target.]
['The Soulstone of Pride' puts more pressure on the target.]
[Your Soulstone of Gluttony reveals its greedy nature to devour the target.]
As the barrier was filled with cracks, it wasn't able to resist like it had done earlier.
[The Soulstone of Gluttony has succeeded in absorbing the target.]
[Energy Drain is starting.]
As the barrier possessed immense magic power, The predation is slowly absorbing it all as it the soulstone of gluttony greedily devoured it all.
['The Soulstone of Gluttony' reveals more hunger.]
[The Soulstone of Gluttony has succeeded in absorbing the target.]
Zephyr absorbed the barrier along with Hyrkan but Hyrkan has a smile on his face seing Zephyr's attempt had succeeded. He then hoped the day they would meet again as he then closed his eyes and waited to be devoured by Zephyr.
Suddenly notifications began to appear in front of Zephyr which left him in daze as he was confused about the messages.
[You have killed the Arcane Dragon Hyrkan Lexus, the strongest dragon and who was feared by all transcendents in the world!]
[Title, 'Dragon Slayer' has been Created.]
[You are the first player to kill a dragon.]

[You have acquired 10,000 karma.]
[You have acquired 15,000 additional karma.]
[Due to system limitations, rewards will be claimed when you reached Tier 4.]
He was daze for a while as he was confused how the system counted that he had killed Hyrkan. Then noticing that he technically devoured him, it then made sense to him. Zephyr then looked at the titles he obtained.

He then sighed as it was a pity that the system was deliberately nerfing him. He also didn't receive a single experience points and any rewards. However he didn't complain as it was not his intention to gain the rewards in the first place.
Zephyr looked calmly at the title 'Dragon Slayer' and the upgraded version of it. He had to admit that the upgraded version has better performance than the other. He then proceeded and decided to leave the cave as he then tried to find a suitable vessel for Hyrkan.
Not known to him that what he had done caused chaos and havoc in the Atlas Corps.
