1521 The Dragon King Against Marchosias!

(Drake's POV)

Ding!

[You have opened the Demonic Ability Shop.]

[A variety of Demonic Abilities have been generated; you can purchase these unique abilities by spending Demonic Energy.]

As everyone separated, I quickly decided to take advantage of the power I gained from devouring one of Pandemonium's body parts.

As gross as it might seem, this lung was so powerful on itself it granted me new abilities, although they were mostly sealed.

I can still learn them over time, by spending Demonic Energy. Of course, they're not cheap at all, their prices are incredibly expensive.

So for now, I'll pick a single Demonic Ability and see the extent of their potential!

[You've exchanged 300.000.000 Demonic Energy.]

[You purchased the [Demonic Physique (SSS)] Demonic Ability!]

[To add Demonic Abilities into your Status, the Divine Abilities categories have been changed to simply Ability Categories, without restrictions.]

[Demonic Physique (SSS)]

A Demonic Ability created after the absorption of large quantities of Demonic Energy into the body.

Grants the ability for non-demons to gain a Demonic Physique, allowing for the flow of Demonic Energy without causing as much damage or destruction into the body.

The Body can be constantly reinforced through the usage of Demonic Energy, and the risks of the body being destroyed or damaged decrease exponentially.

Boosts Flow of Demonic Energy through the Physique by +1000%

Decreases Damage Taken from Demonic Energy flowing inside the Physique by -50%

Enhances the Proficiency on using Demonic Energy through the Physique to unleash physical techniques or attacks by +700%

Increases the Power and Effects of Techniques, Abilities, Magic, and Skills that use Demonic Energy by +500%

When fighting Demon-type foes, your Demonic Physique can absorb 5% of the Damage inflicted from Demonic Energy-fueled abilities or magic as Demonic Energy up to a certain point.

The user can further Refine their own Physique through this Ability, cultivating a True Demon's Physique, unlocking new Abilities.

<nulli>FLUOOOSH!

The moment I acquired the Demonic Ability, an icon showcasing a red-skinned and muscular demon overflowing with demonic power surged in front of me, quickly assimilating itself into my own body.

The Demonic Energy I've had stored inside my Soul quickly started flowing across my body, without causing as much damage as before.

The total damage was already halved, becoming much more bearable! Although the pain remained almost as much as before, I was getting used to it.

This Demonic Ability, it was without a doubt an incredible one!

While seeing Benladann and Miranda go to Surtr's aid, while Emerald and the warriors went to protect the village down below, and my daughters moved to defend Fuyu, I quickly decided to target another foe.

The strongest one in the entire battlefield, which was taking Yuki's entire new powers, Rakasha, Tisha, and Aegir's powers to even hold against.

A single Analysis quickly told me this wolf-like monster was a Demon named Marchosias, catalogued as "Demon Lord" and "Hell Gate Lord", two titles.

If it truly had two titles, it meant it was probably very strong… And it showed, as it seemed to have a near endless regeneration like I did, while being able to constantly overwhelm everyone, no matter how hard they tried.

Well, that's not going to happen anymore now that I've arrived!

"{Demonic Physique}!"

<nulli>FLUOOOSH!

Demonic Energy and Divine Power flowed through my body at the same time, enhancing my stats and power through the roof, and helping me reach Marchosias in a split of a second.

<nulli>FLAAASH!

As I did, I heard Yuki complaining, as usual. She was being overwhelmed by Marchosias just after having come back even stronger than before.

"You've gotta be kidding me… Did I grow strong for nothing?! UGH!" Yuki roared. "And where the heck is DRAKE?!"

"I'm here."

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Yuki heard my voice, glancing at my gigantic figure in utter awe and disbelief. Without wasting any more time, I intercepted Marchosias with a giant rainbow frost sword, made of the combination of all my Divine Weapons, and even the Bone Axe Weapon.

All of that further combined with my Heavenly Flames, the culmination of all the flames I have attained, further enhanced by my Primordial Frost and Demonic Energy.

<nulli>SLAASH! SLAASH! SLAASH! SLAASH! SLAASH!

In a mere second, Marchosias entire body was slashed into pieces! The trio was left utterly speechless as they saw the dangerous threat be reduced to nothing but shredded chunks of meat.

<nulli>"GRYYYAAEERRGH…!"

Marchosias gave an agonizing scream, its chunks beginning to fall as half were burning and the other half freezing.

"D-Drake?!" Yuki cried, excited. "You're back!"

"F-Finally…" Rakasha sighed. "I need a break…"

"Y-You're here!" Tisha cried.

"Finally, you big lazy lizard!" Aegir greeted me furiously.

As they celebrated, I noticed Marchosias chunks started recombining together and forming again his entire self.

I see how it is.

"Leave this guy to me." I told everyone. "I'll make sure he doesn't touch any of you. For now, go defend the village! Aegir, you too."

"Wait, you don't need my amazing strength?!" Aegir angrily said.

"Stop pretending, you're at your limit." I laughed. "Rest for now-"

<nulli>"WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE TO TALK SO LEISURELY IN FRONT OF ME?!"

Marchosias roared, full of madness, rushing towards me at lightning speed. Only to be greeted by my gigantic sword, slicing him into two perfect halves.

"{Heavenly Demonic Dragon Swordsmanship}: {Heaven Splitter}"

<nulli>SLAAAAASSHH!!!

The wave of Sword Ki slashed through the giant demon and immediately cut him into pieces right after that, Marchosias experienced utter agony once more.

<nulli>"GRAAAAGGHH…!!!"

"Did you thought you'll have it easy?" I asked with a smile. "You've been tormenting my friends this entire time. Don't ever think you'll get away with this now. I'm going to make sure to torture you thoroughly."

"<nulli>G-GRRRHH!" W-Who… <nulli>WHO ARE YOU?!"

Marchosias slowly started to regenerate back together. It seemed his "Soul" was not bound to this body, but rather, to a source of seemingly endless Demonic Energy.

Most likely, the Hell Gate itself…

"Me?" I rested the giant sword on my shoulder. "I am Drake, the Dragon King himself! As long as I am here, I will not let any of you fuckers roam as you please! Yggdrasil… Is not as fragile as it once was!"
