Capítulo 39: The Dragon That Devours All
Tang Wulin opens up his eyes, as he started coming to. Blinking, he saw he was in a cabin and started to get up. He flinches from a sharp sense of pain.
"Be careful, your body is still sore from the fight." Said Zeref, as he appeared sitting down next to him. Tang Wulin shifted his head toward Zeref.
"I'm going to slaughter that pony." Said Tang Wulin, as he forced himself to sit up. Zeref smiles as he shook his head.
"Well first thing first, you're going to need to get used to the top of the mountain gravity. That pony was clever to abuse it to crush you to the ground."Said Zeref, remembering the Kirin teleporting Acnologia to the top.
"Don't remind me." Said Tang Wulin.
"Your lucky that your dragon slayer power possesses innate resistance toward element attacks. Or that attack would have reduced your whole body to smoldering ash."Said Zeref with a serious look. Tang Wulin sighed, as he started remembering how the battle went.
It was then when the door to the cabin opened up and Zhao Jiu walks inside. He was carrying a bucket of fruits and herbs with him. He looks up and jumps in mild shock when he saw the boy in front of him awake.
"You're finally awake!" Yelled Zhao Jiu as he put aside the valuable stuff in his hand and went over to go sit down next to Tang Wulin.
"How long was I out for?" Asked Tang Wulin.
"About 2 days. Which is still shocking me this very minute." Said Zhao Jiu as he felt like he was speaking with a primordial beast.
"What was that creature." Asked Tang Wulin. Zhao Jiu expression turned serious as he shifts his head to look out of the window of the cabin.
"What is a Kirin huh? Where do I even start? Kirin is one of the rarest and mysterious spirit beasts in the whole world." Said Zhao Jiu.
"What do you mean?" Said Tang Wulin.
"I mean there is precisely almost no information on a Kirin. A Kirin is called the Phantom because it's so rarely sighted. The Kirins are able to roam the whole world because they can travel or teleport through the storms they create. There are rarely seen not because spirit masters hunt down to extinction but because of it almost impossible to catch one."Explained Zhao Jiu.
"Not even Title Douluo are able to catch them?" Asked Tang Wulin.
"That if a Title Douluo will be able to see them. Kirin sighting is mostly on this mountain, do you know why?"
"Why?"
"It's because this mountain has a restriction on spirit rank. You see, no one above spirit rank 50 can climb up this mountain." Said Zhao Jiu, causing Tang Wulin to look up in surprise.
"What do you mean?"
"Just like the gravity on this mountain, there is an unexplained restriction on spirit ranks. Not even those who stand on top of the world can enter the mountain. It's why the suggestion for the gravity and restriction revolves around figures like a god, primordial spirit beast or unfathomable spirit master." Said Zhao Jiu.
"Still, I don't get why Kirin attack us. It's usually peaceful and ignores the people on the mountain." Said Zhao Jiu.
"So what is your rank?" Asked Tang Wulin.
"I'm rank 45, so I still have time before I'm restricted from coming on the mountain." Zhao Jiu said.
Tang Wulin laid back down on the bed, as he started going over the information.
"I'm surprised you were able to survive its attack." Said Zhao Jiu.
"You know its attacks?" Asked Tang Wulin.
"Only the ones that have been shown. Kirin greatest strength is its lightning and speed. With just their speed alone, they could outspeed a Spirit Sage." Said Zhao Jiu.
"I need to get used to the mountain top gravity." Said Tang Wulin.
"You still want to go to the mountain top? The Kirin is still staying there even after it sent your body straight from the top of the mountain down to the lower level." Said Zhao Jiu.
"Hence, why I need to get used to that gravity, I am going to destroy that pony." Said Tang Wulin, as he started to get out of the bed.
"Woah, hold on there! You're still injured and you lost last time, but you still want to fight it?" Said Zhao Jiu in shock.
"I lost because Kirin transported me on top of the mountain and outspeed me." Said Tang Wulin, as he could feel his body healing by the minute.
"Alright we will go up the mountain but not now, can you at least wait till you're healed enough to run at least." Said Zhao Jiu. Tang Wulin blink in surprise but nodded his head,
"Can you give me all the information you have on the Kirin?" Asked Tang Wulin. Zhao Jiu nodded his head as he went over to his backpack to take out a notebook and then went back over to where Tang Wulin was.
"There isn't much to go on, but I guess we can go over its attacks and behavior." Said Zhao Jiu.
#
A few days have passed, Tang Wulin has been using that time to train his body to withstand the gravity on the mountain. With the help of Zhao Jiu, they were able to find the spot where the gravity increase easily.
His wounds were able to recover at a terrifying pace, causing even him to wonder how. Tang Wulin doubts it could be because of his Dragonslayer power or the Golden Dragon King bloodline.
Tang Wulin is flipping through Zhao Jiu notes on the Kirin. From what he is reading, the Kirin seems to love using the electricity on its body to cancel out long-range attacks.
The lightning its calls down is from the storm it's able to create. It has the ability to create a lightning shield to stop most close combat attacks and his ability to use the lightning from the cloud to buff itself.
Zhao Jiu told him, its how Kirin was able to move so quickly and transport him up to the top of the mountain. Tang Wulin had to admit, that pony is pretty stacked.
"The biggest problem is its spear attack." Zeref said, sitting down next to Acnologia.
'I think I may have a solution to that problem, but I only have one chance. If it fails, then I'm basically dead." Said Tang Wulin.
"Oh?"
"Even before that, I have to bait the Kirin into using the attack and then wait till it gets close to me." Said Tang Wulin.
"How close?"
"Point Blank…" Said Tang Wulin, causing Zeref to shake his head. From what Zhao Jiu said, Kirin becomes tired when its lighting spear is used, so that may be a potential weakness.
"Well, let do this I guess." Zeref said.
Tang Wulin nodded his head, as Zhao Jiu came through the door. Tang Wulin asked him if he saw the Kirin still on top of the mountain.
"Yea. It still is lying on top of the mountain." Said Zhao Jiu. Tang Wulin nodded his head as he started to get up and leave.
"Are you sure about this? If you fail, then you're dead." Said Zhao Jiu.
"My pride refuse to allow me to stay defeated." Said Tang Wulin.
"Your spirit master pride?"
"No, my pride of as the King." Said Tang Wulin. Zhao Jiu was stunned, as he saw Tang Wulin walk past him and through the door.
"Wait up! I'm coming along too."
"Alright but don't interfere." Said Tang Wulin. Zhao Jiu shook his head, as both of them started to journey up the mountain.
After a while, they were able to reach close to the top. Then the clouds started to swirl together in the sky as lightning was crackling through it. Then a lightning bolt instantly shot down from the middle.
The lightning bolt stops right in front of both of them, as they a creature appeared out of it. Tang Wulin narrowed his eyes at the Kirin, as its gaze at him.
The Kirin was inwardly shocked that the small human was able to endure its attack and be able to recover in such a short time.
Zhao Jiu gulped and back away, as Tang Wulin was glaring at the Kirin. Both of them lock eyes with each other, as the sky was roaring.
'Magic Dragon Explosion.'
BOOM!
Tang Wulin started off the battle with an explosion, which the Kirin took in stride. Tang Wulin activated his Dragon Scales and summons an array of vines to attack the Kirin.
The Kirin didn't move as its body discharged electricity to burn away all of the vines but then its eyes widen. As it saw a beam of energy coming towards it, so it tried sidestepping it.
'Magic Dragon Lanza.'
Kirin then saw a lance of pure energy coming towards it. Kirin disappeared in a flash of light but Tang Wulin uses his smell and hearing to pinpoint it.
'There!'
Tang Wulin arm transformed into all scales and a dragon claw. As he thrust it out behind him, as a hoof was coming down on him.
Swoosh!
The hoof disappeared as Tang Wulin dragon claw hit nothing but then he punches up, as a bolt of lightning was coming down on him.
Bang!
He turned his eyes to see the Kirin gazing at him on top of the cliff. Tang Wulin narrowed his eyes, as he charged directly at the Kirin, who disappeared in a flash of light again.
Tang Wulin stopped as Kirin appeared away from him as if it was scared to get close but then his first soul ring lit up.
'Golden Dragon Roar.'
'First Soul Skill: Pressure.'
Behind Tang Wulin appears the Golden Dragon King's head releasing a deafening roar and Leviathan gazing at Kirin. The Kirin was stunned giving Tang Wulin enough time to get close and use his next attack.
'Apocalypse King Dragon Shocks The Heaven'
Tang Wulin rotates is hand in a circle, as a gold and black aura envelope the area around them. A Golden and Black Dragon roar as they overshadow the image of Tang Wulin.
Kirin was being suppressed by the dominance of both the Golden and Black Dragon. They were enraged at the loss they suffered and demand submission from the Kirin.
Two Dragon heads were coming towards the Kirin and it couldn't move from being suppressed.
BANG!
The Kirin body was sent flying as the dragon head made contact. The Kirin crashed hard into the wall and struggle to get out of it.
RUMBLE!
The storm above them was rumbling even louder and stronger. As the Kirin glared at Tang Wulin but was showing a large trace of fear in its eyes, as its scale started to harden.
The Kirin wanted Tang Wulin to feel its divine judgment and the storm in the sky turn into a fierce hurricane.
A lightning bolt strikes down and hit the Kirin whose eyes were flashing with blue. The Kirin was no more, as the sky rumbles and roar even more.
'Alright, the most important and dangerous part. I only have time to blink before he hits me.' Thought Tang Wulin. Tang Wulin begins to active all his other enhancement skills.
'Golden Dragon Body.'
'Time Magic: Slow Time.'
'Time Magic: Red Zone.'
In a flash, that not even Tang Wulin could follow a large blue spear blew the storm away as it came down. Tang Wulin blink and instantly threw a fist as he saw a flash of blue before the blue spear was right in front of him.
'Dragon Slayer Secret Art: Malignant Apoptosis.'
The blue spear instantly vanished and Kirin appeared in its place with a look of distinct shock. But it couldn't do anything as it felt its soul power leaving it and getting struck in the face by a fist.
SMASH!
Kirin was sent flying, while Tang Wulin fell over from the shockwave of both the lightning spear and his punch.
'I did it.' Thought Tang Wulin, as he was able to cancel out the attack, right before it made contact with him.
"You should go make sure the Kirin is dead before it disappears." Said Zeref.
Tang Wulin dash toward the place he sent Kirin a moment ago. When he reached, he saw the Kirin slowly getting out the rubble of rocks as it was bleeding all over.
Before he could move to kill it, Kirin disappeared and appeared on the top of a hill away from him. It then roared as the blue electricity was discharged from its body but then. The electricity color started to change from blue to red and Kirin begins to change as well.
Kirin body started to become bigger, turning even darker and then the snow-white hair began to shimmer with even more energy. Red lightning was crackling around it as it glared in rage at Tang Wulin.
'So it can buff itself.' Thought Tang Wulin, as he stared in shock.
Tang Wulin shook his head and gets ready for the Kirin next attack. He was fortunate he got strong enough to use Malignant Apoptosis one more time. He just needed to wait till the Kirin get close enough to him, so he can end it with one attack.
Tang Wulin saw the Kirin getting ready to move and heighten all of his sense to catch it movement.
SWOOOSH
Tang Wulin eyes widen, as the Kirin appeared behind him and then he was hit by lightning.
BOOOM!
Tang Wulin gritted his teeth as he felt the red lightning somehow dealing way more than the blue lightning attacks before. As he was about to use Malignant Apoptosis Kirin disappeared again.
Tang Wulin started to look all over it but he couldn't fight any trace of it. Then the storm in the sky started to swirl into a fierce hurricane again and then a red bolt of lightning struck down.
Tang Wulin was blinded as the sky turned into a brilliant white. Zhao Jiu, who was observing the battle was in shock of Kirin transformation. The red bolt destroyed and devour both Tang Wulin and the hill he was on.
Both Kirin and Zhao Jiu were staring at the spot where the lightning bolt hit and waiting for the smoke to fade away.
'Impossible.' Zhao Jiu thought as he saw the familiar figure of Tang Wulin still standing.
Tang Wulin was standing, as his whole body was bleeding. The lower half his pants were destroyed with his shoes but yet. Zhao Jiu, Zeref and Kirin could tell Tang Wulin took too much damage to be standing.
Yet his body would not fall and his head would not drop. They were all wondering what was keeping him standing.
'Acnologia..'
'It's odd.' Tang Wulin thought.
Kirin glared down at Tang Wulin standing and begins to summon another bolt of lightning. The storm started to turn into a hurricane as the sky turns white again.
'Even with my body losing all of its strength.'
A red bolt of lightning blasted the hurricane open as it came to strike Tang Wulin down.
'My will, still refuses to submit.'
Tang Wulin thrust one of his arms up and caught the lightning bolt. Kirin's eyes widen as it watches the human in front of it glare straight at it.
'It's time to teach this pony, why I'm the Dragon King.'
Tang Wulin started to eat the red bolt. His whole body started to swell, as blood started to rush out of his nose, eyes, and ears. Zeref was panicking, as he saw what was happening.
'Oh god, he ate Absolute Lightning!' Zhao Jiu thought in fright.
'Dammit Acnologia why would you do that? You can already tell that the lightning was vastly stronger than the blue one. In your condition now, it will overpower your body.' Scream Zeref as saw Acnologia's body swelling with lightning.
'I'm the dragon that devours all magic and powers. It does not matter if it's different, it does not matter if it's stronger, it doesn't even matter if it's unique. I will devour all!' Tang Wulin screamed in his head.
The light started to envelop his figure as it flashed and blinded everything on the mountain. Zhao Jiu and Kirin turn back to look at Tang Wulin.
Tang Wulin's hair was longer with blue, black, and brilliant gold highlights in it. Black round scales started to appear on Tang Wulin's arms, above the brow of his eyes and below them too. Blue Tribal markings were appearing on his arms, legs, and face.
A golden and black aura started to swirl around Tang Wulin body and explode outwards. His eyes were glowing with Gold and White brilliance as he glared at the Kirin above him.
Tang Wulin stomp down on the ground and roared. As a Golden and Black dragon appeared prominently behind him, as their deafening roar was heard too with his.
ROAR!
The Kirin for the first time in over a thousand years felt true fear.
Zeref could only stare in shock at what he was witnessing.
'Dragon Force.'
