Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate
chapter-744

Peerless Dragon Strike [SSR].

That was one of Lux's Trump Cards, which he could only use three times a day.

Its power varied depending on the type of Dragon he was going to use, and right now, he was using the Golden Dragon.

Aside from its powerful Dragon Breath, which all dragons possessed, the Golden Dragon had a special ability to transform into a Demi-Dragon, similar to what Aur looked like.

However, these dragons possess incredible strength, which they retained even in their Demi-Dragon forms.

If Lux wanted to, he could have briefly transformed into a Demi-Red Dragon.

But, after the power of his Abyss Touch had gone out of control, his Dragon's characteristics had changed to that of a Black Dragon.

The only thing that Lux retained from his Red Dragon Blood was his near-complete immunity to fire.

Special Flames like the Transcendent Flames, or any other kind of Unique Flames would still deal damage to him, but their effect would be decreased by 50%

As a Black Dragon, he had gained immunities against Acid attacks and Poison.

"Golden Demi-Dragon Form!" Lux said.

Immediately, two golden wings sprouted on his back, and a pair of golden dragon horns appeared on his head.

His arms were covered in gold dragon scales, and his green eyes had turned golden as well.

< Golden Demi Dragon Form >

— Gains the power of an Ancient Golden Dragon for a short period of time.

— Duration 30 minutes.

With one flap of his Draconic Wings, Lux flew towards Aina, who didn't hesitate and charged at him as well.

"Dragon War Art," Lux roared. "Dragon Rend!"

Lux's clawed hand glowed brightly as he unleashed a more powerful version of the Dragon's Claw that could cut through steel with ease.

"Divine Smite!" Aina smashed her mace forward, meeting Lux's attack head on.

Her Mace was a Legendary Weapon that had been given to her by her Father, which was one of their family's treasured weapons.

She only used it whenever she intended to fight seriously. Most of the time, she only used a Mythical-Ranked Mace whenever she was fighting alongside her guild members.

When the two attacks collided, both combatants were almost blown away by the sheer impact of their strike.

However, both managed to resist it, and engaged in a flurry of attacks against each other.

Due to the strength of the Ancient Golden Dragon that Lux possessed, his strength stat had increased to match Aina's, surprising the doll-like beauty.

Aina's mace and shield met Lux's Draconic Claws, creating booming sounds every time they clashed against each other.

Neither of them backed down and engaged in close-combat, while trying to find an opportunity to land a devastating blow to get the upper hand.

At the midst of the battle, Lux noticed something that made him react a second slower than he usually did, which he regretted seconds later after Aina's mace smashed on his chest, which sent him flying.

"That hurts," Lux muttered as he righted himself in mid-air.

He then stared back at the angelic beauty in front of him and smiled through the pain.

"Are you enjoying this battle, Aina?" Lux asked.

"Yes," Aina replied in the same monotonous voice as ever.

However, if one was quite familiar with how she talked, they would notice that it was a bit more livelier than usual.

"Good," Lux commented. "Because, I can see it on your face as well. You should always smile like that."

Aina, who didn't expect Lux to say something so out of place, narrowed her gaze.

"If this is your way of distracting me then I'm sorry to tell you that it's not going to work," Aina stated. "Now, let's continue."

Lux smirked before nodding his head.

The main reason why the Half-Elf had lost his composure during their exchange was due to the fact that he saw Aina's fearless smile as the two of them fought tooth and nail against each other.

Even now, the doll-like beauty still didn't know that there was a smile plastered on her face, which made the Half-Elf assume that she was enjoying their battle.

'This is like falling in love all over again,' Lux thought as he remembered his idol, Luna, back on Earth.

It was her smile that made him become an instant fan, and seeing that same smile on someone who looked like a younger version of her, the Half-Elf was unable to stop the feeling of nostalgia.

However, as much as he wanted to appreciate Aina's smile and beauty, they were currently fighting against each other. It would be disrespectful, and dangerous for him to not focus his attention on fighting her seriously.

That last attack that connected with his chest made him feel a stinging pain, and it made him wonder if Aina managed to break a rib or two.

Fortunately, Golden Dragons also had powerful regeneration abilities. Although he still felt a stinging pain on his chest, his internal injuries were healing at a rapid pace.

Without giving any warning, Lux flew upwards and unleashed one of the most deadly Draconic Attacks in his arsenal.

"Draco-Meteor!"

Countless giant fireballs descended from the sky, giving no place for Aina to dodge.

In the end, she resorted to meeting these fireballs head on and smashing them with her mace one by one, dispersing them with each strike.

When Aina had just dispersed the sixth meteor, she found herself face to face with the Half-Elf who had snuck behind his attack in order to catch her by surprise.

A second later, Lux threw a Draconic Punch, aiming at Aina's face.

However, he forcefully changed its trajectory mid-strike, hitting her shoulder instead.

Although he knew that dying inside the Domain wouldn't really kill them for real, he just couldn't hit his idol's face with a killing blow.

Even if his mind could endure it, his heart couldn't.

Also, if by any chance Aina would receive a permanent injury on her face, even if she didn't die inside the Domain, Colette would definitely call for the Blood Gods to avenge her sister.

Despite all this, the blow was still strong enough to send Aina crashing towards the ground like a missile strike.

But, at the very last moment, she managed to regain control and used her wings to change her trajectory.

She flew only half a meter above the ground for nearly half a minute before finally landing and skidding across it, creating a dust cloud.

Lux who saw this immediately dove down from the sky to check her condition.

Due to this, he didn't notice the dark clouds that were covering the sky, and the faint rumble of thunder that was starting to awaken from its slumber.
