Chapter 1223 Divinity Absorption!
-----
Drake analyzed Henry's Powers, it was something slightly similar to Metal Magic, it was not to the extent of Technomancy because Technomancy didn't simply extend to the creation of metals, but to breathe life into them and make even the smallest piece "alive" to fuse and form even bigger creations. Meanwhile, Metal Magic was the ability to summon metals and ores.
The young knight commander had awakened a rather interesting power, and the metallic shell covering his true aberrant body was all made of this new power, which, in his own crazed state after discovering his true body had stopped being gorgeous and beautiful like he used to be, unleashed this power he had no true control over.
He manipulated this power and summoned hundreds of golden swords, only a quarter as big as his main weapon, firing them at Drake nonstop.
"For looking like a close-quarters warrior, you really prefer attacking from afar." Drake said, quickly preparing himself to move towards Henry and confront him closely.
Drake liked his spell casting fights, but sometimes he just wanted to smash the shit out of someone with his fists, claws, legs, or tails to teach them a lesson.
Also, the closer he gets, the easier he'll be able to Absorb Divinity!
"[Divine Wind Magic]: [Storming Aura]! [Tornado Winds]!"
FLUOOOOSH!
Drake conjured his Divine Wind Magic, his second strongest element as he conjured countless winds around his body and enchanted it with a powerful aura, boosting his speed to completely insane levels!
FLAAAAAAAAASSSSHHHH!!!!
He directly flew towards his foe's deadly projectiles, encompassing his body using his own wings, as he could fly easily using winds, and covered his body with them tightly.
"[Divine Draconic Arts]: [Orichalcum Scales]! [Wing Barrier]!"
Conjuring two powerful Divine Draconic Arts, Drake's scales and wings became incredibly hard, like shields. This technique had only been used back then in the Island surrounding the Trial of the Frost Queen, when Drake protected the place utilizing his wings from Greenwoods mechs.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOOM! BOOOOM!
The powerful golden blades impacted his wings, exploding right after and scattering sharp divine metal pieces everywhere, but Drake easily shielded himself from their damage, sometimes small wounds would appear, but they would swiftly close.
"W-What?! He can even tank that?!" Henry panicked.
He was completely unaware of how tanky Dragons truly were, mostly because all his experience fighting them was based on fighting wyverns, low ranked mortal lesser dragons who were quite frail in exchange for being fast fliers.
"Don't let him get closer! He can absorb your powers! Keep your distance!" The malefic voice whispered to Henry's ears, as the titanic golden knight obeyed.
FLAAAASH!
His back suddenly grew metallic golden-colored angelic wings, which began unleashing divine power, allowing him to fly rapidly, managing to get away from Drake before a massive barrage of dragon punches demolished him.
"You're running around, coward?!" Drake roared, as he saw Henry constantly fly away. "Well, I can't blame you, I also used to run away from m problems. However, unlike you, I've learned to face them head-on!"
TRUUUUUMMM…!
Drake's entire aura unleashed a massive shockwave, as space itself started to distort! A dark power emerged from within his claws… Chaos!
"I can't quite control this power unlike my wife, but I've borrowed a bit of Miranda's powers. Turns out she also contracted with me as a spirit…" Drake laughed.
His control over the Chaos element was quite terrible. It seemed that this foreign element that only his wives could control masterfully was completely incompatible with Divine Dragons. All of their bloodlines rejected this alien power, and Drake couldn't quite control it.
However, he could still channel it and throw it out, and by mixing it with his Darkness and Dream Magic, he created a very funny spell!
"[Chaotic Nightmare Magic]: [Spatial Shock]!"
TRUUUUUMMMMM….!
"UNGH?!"
Henry suddenly realized a strange, gravitational force was pulling him over towards Drake! But that wasn't all, as Drake had begun playing around with a new element he had acquired as well, Void and Space!
By disrupting space and then manipulating it, he was pulling someone towards him as if he had become an enormous gravitational force. This forced all foes he faced to fight him head-on!
"I am still getting the gist of it but let's call this Divine Spell… [Gravitational Force]!"
"W-What?! He can control gravity?!" The Deep One's voice was shocked.
Henry, who didn't knew any better, was also terrified as he was pulled towards Drake, now completely incapable of flying away from him!
"RAAAAAAHHH!!! [Heaven Splitting Divine Blade]!!!"
His gigantic golden blade was loaded with his divine power, as Henry desperately unleashed a devastating slash that could split the heavens themselves… or well, that was a bit of an exaggeration.
However, Drake intercepted it with a cheeky smile, pulling out of his own shadows his trusty Living Sword, Uller, which he had now enchanted with Vampiric Materials and was now unleashing a darker and powerful aura…
"[Nightmarish Blood Dragon Slash]!!!"
With all his might, he intercepted Henry's divine attack, both blows, encompassing the elements of the dark and bright spectrum clashed amidst the skies, generating a gigantic, chaotic explosion that distorted space itself!
BOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!
The explosion generated smoke everywhere, as Drake instantly reached Henry's face, grabbing it with his gigantic claws and crushing his metallic helmet!
CRAAASH!
"Gotcha."
"AAAGGRRRHHHH…!"
SLASH!
Drake mercilessly sliced the Knight Commander's arm holding his sword, as it was swiftly caught by Drake and promptly eaten by his tail, which shapeshifted to have a second head.
"W-Wait…! STOP…! LET GOOOOO!"
Ding!
[A large quantity of Divinity has been detected.]
[Absorb Divinity?]
<Yes> <No> 𝓫ℯ𝓭𝓃𝓸𝓋ℯ𝓁．𝓬𝓸𝓂
"Yes."
FLUOOOOOSH!
"UNNGH…?! M-MY POWER!!!"
Henry panicked, as he felt a large part of his powers being sapped away by the vicious Dragon King, mercilessly devouring his powers, and growing stronger, while the Deep One was incapable of accepting such insult a second time!
"YOUUUUU!"
The voice of the Deep One echoed from within Henry's soul, as the Noble's mind was completely devoured, the Deep One deciding to take over his vessel and fight by himself!
"You want a rematch so soon?" Drake asked, as he noticed his gains.
Ding!
[You have absorbed +35000000 Divine Power!]
[You acquired [Divinity Fragment of Holy Light] x10!]
[You acquired the [Divine Holy Metal Creation (B)] Divine Ability!]
[Your [Light (SSS)] Elemental Affinity has evolved to [Holy Light (S)]!]
"GRUOOOOHHHHH!"
Meanwhile, Henry's aberrant body let go of his useless metallic shell, shapeshifting into a mass of amorphous flesh with countless limbs, tentacles, and eyes all over!
"I'LL KILL YOU!!!"
"Do your worst."
