An Extra’s POV
chapter-485

The world was silent.

All eyes were wide open, their gaze locked in a single direction.

Tension was so high that only the heavy breathing and the gulping sounds of several thousand could be heard.

The mix of both fear and hope was so palpable—so real—that you could almost taste it.

All of this intense energy, in the form of attention, was focused on just two people.

Jet and Lux; the only Heroic Rank Adventurers who could stand up to the Dragon's tyranny.

~BZZTTZZ!~

Flashes of purple energy flashed all over Jet's body. His cloak instantly burned off, revealing a shirtless form of himself.

His pale skin glowed beneath the several crackles of lightning, revealing several unknown markings and runic inscriptions on his body.

These runes began to glow purplish blue, and they slowly spread across several portions of his body. They shrouded his pale skin, pulsating with forbidden power.

As Jet tightly gripped his Chaos Blade, the weapon took on the same kind of energy.

—Powerful, but ominous.

He wasn't the only gearing up for the battle, though. His partner, Lux, began to shine very brightly with light.

It seemed like her entire body was undergoing transfiguration—becoming one with the very energy that surrounded her.

This… this power was no longer human.

The power gushing out of them had far transcended anything the human mind conceive nor the human body contain.

These two… had become the very personification of power.

"Here I come." Jet whispered, mist leaving his lips.

The opponent he faced—a haughty, confident, and invincible Skeletal Dragon—sneered at his words and gave his response.

"YEAH! SHOW ME WHAT YOU—"

~BOOOOOM!~

In a blur, even for the sight of the Undead Dragon, Jet left his position, causing everything around him to shatter apart into chunks of debris.

This debris was then carried up by Lux's Wind Magic, raised around her like an overflowing torrent that kept rising.

Jet dashed at the enemy through all this, his body practically a streak of purple.

Then… he dealt the first strike.

~SWISH!~

Like a hot knife searing through butter, his Chaos Blade easily dissected both of the front limbs of the fifteen meter tall Skeletal Dragon.

"E-EH…?"

~WHOOOSH!~

Before Wili'am—the Skeletal Dragon Lord—could even react, Jet propelled himself upward, creating a rising vertical slash that instantly shattered apart the entire right arm of the massive creature.

The purple aura of the Dragon did nothing to stop the damage.

In a single attack, represented by a flash of energy, the entire arm broke into multiple chunks.

"W-WHY YOU—!"

~WHUUUM!~

Right as Wili'am raised his regenerated right arm to strike his opponent, a barrage of condensed debris bullets overwhelmed his entire form.

Each of these particles had been compressed by Lux and her Magic, changing them from their massive sizes to the form of pellets. All of them were also shrouded by her Mana, which did well in combating the protective layer of Miasma that protected his body.

Bottom line… Wili'am's second arm was completely blown off by the powerful barrage they sent towards him.

But so what?

"[ORBS OF DESTRUCTION]!" The Skeletal Dragon roared, sending his voice across the entire space that he dominated.

Several large spheres appeared all around him, and he sent them flying all at once.

Some were directed at Jet.

A couple were sent towards Lux.

But… a majority of them were sent in the directions of the groups of unprotected Adventurers.

"NOW WHAT WILL YOU DO? FIGHT ME OR SAVE THEM? YOU CANT DO BO—!"

"You talk too much!"

In one swift string of attacks, Jet slashed at Wili'am, to the point where several chunks of bones burst out—almost like chopped-up flesh and spraying blood.

"GUH!"

"I can't do both?" Jet's voice, while low, had a commanding presence that caused the damaged Skeletal Dragon Lord to feel a slight hint of intimidation.

"… Who decided that?"

In an instant, he bounced off the air and swirled in the air, becoming a great twister within a single second's interval.

~VWUUUUUM!~

The Orbs Of Destruction that spread all around all suddenly began to converge in his direction.

"HAHAHA! WHAT DO YOU PLAN TO DO NOW? TAKE ALL THE HITS YOURSELF?" Seemingly recovered from most of the earlier damage from earlier, the Skeletal Dragon yelled in twisted delight.

"Just shut up… and watch!"

The several orbs charged at Jet, ready to explode, when a loud declaration from him echoed out.

"Final Seal… BREAK!"

A bright light ascended high into the air—piercing even the ceiling above. In that instant, a shimmering golden barrier surrounded him from the imminent blast, protecting him from all their destructive wraths.

Just in time for the explosion too.

~BOOOOOOOM!!!~

Destruction was an understatement compared to the horrific sight that filled the air above.

It was like a bomb of unspeakable proportions had been set off, consuming the very air itself in an overwhelming layer of purple flames.

But… despite that…

"Huu…"

A man stood at the center of all that destruction, his white hair now floating in the air as bright radiance swelled from within his body.

"… Let's end this now." He muttered, his pure white eyes looking straight at the Skeletal Demon Lord.

"PFFT! END THIS? YOU HUMOR ME!" Wili'am's laughter echoed in the air as he clutched his stomach with its two already recovered front limbs.

From the way he looked, it was like he hadn't taken any damage at all.

Despite hearing such haughty words from his opponent, Jet said no more to the Skeletal Dragon Lord. Instead, he let out another whisper.

"Lux…"

Responding to this was his angel-like partner whose body was now all-white—the personification of purity.

~WHOOOOOSH!~

In a flash, several chains of light rushed from her and charged at the Undead who could barely react to any of it.

"N-NGH!"

The Dragon's entire body was bound by the white chains, and the purple layers of energy were all wrapped by her constraints.

Then, right as the Wili'am made to break out of his restraints, he felt a sudden overpowering feeling that caused him to nearly fall to his knees.

A word poured through the air… and it made everything go blank.

"[Divine Ray]."
