Fighting on the back of a real dragon is a dream come true for Victor.

Fighting vampires is a nightmare.

Fankel had informed the minister of Mel Odeus' true appearance, but seeing her monstrous flesh with his own eyes was another matter. Fomo has been transformed into a half-rotted bone dragon, as big as Winkle, her bones animated by evil energy. The [Black Crown] covering her core only enhances her menacing aura, a terrifying piece of armor that matches Winkle's golden crown.

Even with Fuliben and King Wotan at his back, Victor still feels as if he is weak against this monster, just like he did against Ahenapeu in El Dorado. The oppressive scent of the monster filled the air, and her gravity beckoned his soul toward his final death.

You have entered [Dracoric] Mel Odius' [Siphon of Greed]! Your connection to your [Holy Grail] has been severed! If you die within its range, your soul Will be swallowed! [Terror Halo] is denied.

Warning: Ten minutes before missile launch! If you fail to defeat Mel Odius within this time, Overmond will be destroyed!

It couldn't possibly get worse if the system itself gave them a direct warning!

Wotan and his horse stood atop one of Crom Cruci's many towers, while Winkle, Victor and Fuliben soared within the massive steel structure of the castle. Mel Odius stood above them all, on the border of the shield that separated the castle from the outside world. The battle rages beyond the borders, with V&V forces dueling Odius' last followers.

"Cover me!" Victor shouted, raising his scythe to cast a spell. People can shape their own pocket dimensions on the eighth level, but on the tenth level, the Chancellor can create a semi-functional mini-plane of existence with its own rules; a plane big enough to swallow Crutch Castle. "I need time to cast my pocket dimension spell and contain the explosion!"

"How long?" Freebon asked as he teleported to the side of the V&V duo and began to strengthen his body, while King Wotan immediately chased the dragon lizard on horseback in an airspace as big as a Grunt. Speeding past. For the first time since Victor had seen him, the Lich sounded truly frightened, his bones harder than usual.

The entire spell took several hours to complete, but Victor didn't need to finish it completely. He only had to complete the first part, folding the space around the castle into a smaller dimension. It will contain a nuclear explosion because Vai

The [Glitzy Theater

] to protect his troops from missiles.

However, the areas within fortresses and barriers are as large as a city; turning the entire place into another dimension would be a huge test of spellcasting abilities.

"Hold her as long as possible," Victor said, unable to think of a decisive answer, "make sure she doesn't interrupt me!"

"Five minutes." Fulibang replied. "She cut me off from my [Phylacte

y], which drained my magic. "

"Five minutes?" Fankle asked, then boasted as he flew between Crom Crutch's towers. "Four people are too many to knock this nasty fairy down!"

This is the spirit.

Victor began casting his spell, focusing all his attention on channeling the magic through his scythe while the others moved on to the battle.

So far, Wotan has closed the gap on Mel Odius, who looks down on the treacherous guy like he's minion shit. Thunder echoes in the background, the dragon's eyes glow with magic, and Chrom Cruach is riddled with burning circuits.

Mel Odius took direct control of [Crome C

A slingshot of star metal flew straight towards Wotan's mount, penetrating the heart of the mount at supersonic speed. The beast was killed with one shot, and fell to the ground of the castle along with the frightened knight.

The towers of the uach moved like clockwork and the layout of the fort was rearranged. Holes in the wall opened, revealing cannons, star-metal-tipped ballistics, and ancient laser beams. All turned against Winkle and his allies.

"Hang on, friend Victor!" Fankel dived into the water to avoid the gunfire before he could shout a warning; Victor's supernatural [Chaos Knight] privilege allowed him to always be with his companions, Even while the maggots were circling the tower, it didn't make him comfortable at all.

Winkel managed to evade the attack, but was forced to move closer to Crom Crutch's position to avoid the gunfire, just as a fighter deftly evades anti-aircraft defenses. This leaves Mel Odius in control of the sky, a hawk watching the doves flounder beneath her.

The Vizier lost sight of Wotan and had to run on foot to avoid the hail of bullets and the walls of Crom Cruci. Meanwhile, Freebon remained close to Maggot, concentrating on protecting Victor; he frequently summoned his [anti-vai

barrier] to stop the dragon from exploding quickly enough.

Mel Odius did not take the initiative, but kept aloof and cheered himself up. "[Ove

[The health of Elf Queen Mel Odius will temporarily exceed the upper limit without causing damage! Each soul consumed will give her 999 HP!

"[Pe

I am Lord Odeus

Type: Soul Crown Dragon Blood (Fairy/Dragon; also counts as undead when beneficial).

Level: 99 (Dragon God 10/Prism 1/Tyrant 10/Death Lord 30/Artificer 30/Faerie Queen 9)

HP:7665/6666

Weak against star metal and cold iron.

"Level 99?" Victor shouted, his attention wavering from the horrific sight.

"I will become a god, and your death will be my apotheosis," Mel Odius declared proudly, before summoning a small black flying prism. "Prism Shard."

"Cheating!" Venkle roared, melting a Star Metal ballistic missile with a fireball. "My name is cheating!" You can't get more levels than me in less time!"

Mel Odius responded to the dragon with her shard, the prism unleashing a fiery beam in his direction. Unable to use [Spell Purification] without interfering with Victor's spellcasting, Winkle took advantage of the environment and moved to find cover behind one of Crom Crutch's walls. His respite was short-lived, however, as more weapons continued to fire at V&V, forcing the maggots to keep moving.

Move between uach's towers and maze of fortifications. They were always careful to avoid gunfire, but never found an opportunity to move over the castle and directly threaten Odius.

While his team protected him, Victor started the level X spell [Private World], spent the required SP and began the ritual. He began to expand his magic, occupying the area around Cromcruch, preparing to fold it into a separate plane. Casting this spell is extremely difficult, but casting it in combat is a heroic feat.

Intelligence check successful!

But even as the laser struck Winkle in the leg, Victor continued to focus. Camilla never trained anyone to give up easily.

Why can't (the Mithras claim) resist (the light)? He's the sun god, damn it!

In the picture above, Mel Odius' health has increased tenfold.

(56616/6666)

It keeps rising.

Vankel roared in agony as a bolt of star metal pierced his [Hoard Armor] from the left, destroying a scale and piercing his flesh.

Supe

Effective damage! You lost a quarter of your HP!

The dragon removed the crossbow bolt with his hand, his flesh regenerated thanks to his knight's [Master's Shield], but the castle's defenses didn't give him any respite.

Automated machines and minions everywhere hunt them relentlessly! Prismatic shards chase, bombarding Vic with light as he circles around Klum Cruch's defenses, firing at its cannons. you!

The streets and walls of the castle moved on their own; whenever he discovered an escape route, steel barriers went up, when he discovered a firing line, the defenses closed, and so on.

The land is resisting them too!

"Forsaken, do something!" Winkle ordered the Lich, blasting a laser-emitting prism with a fireball. The Lich transforms mechanical defenses into transmutation, turning deadly star-metal firing machines into useless statues. Above them, Mel Odius raised her HP reserves to astronomical levels without attacking; after Winkle beat her hard the last time they met, she The entire strategy was readjusted to drive him away. "Pull that coward down so I can poke her!"

"Maybe Sabra possessed her, making her immune to time," Freebon replied, narrowly dodging a cannonball. "My [Za Varudo] will only paralyze you, I can't target my spells with these weapons and bombard us from all sides!"

A thunderbolt responded to Winkle's wish and struck the Fairy Queen.

It bounced off her, but it was the thought that mattered.

Wota

The king hurriedly emerged from the depths of the castle, covered with wounds. Star metal bolts and bullets opened holes in his muscular body, bleeding golden blood. He hadn't looked so haggard since his last confrontation with Winkle.

However, the former king longed for a fight. He jumped over cannons, tore them from the walls with his bare hands, and smashed slingshots with his spear. The Prism Shard gave up its pursuit of Vequel and instead attacked Senmo, releasing a beam of light at the Dragon Sword.

Displaying great skill and reflexes, the former king dodged all attacks with cat-like agility, the tip of his sword shattering every fragment that came near him.

It felt like watching a tornado devastate a town, leaving behind only upside-down steel buildings and rubble. It was an unstoppable force that brought down many powerful dragons, and on one occasion nearly brought down Winkle himself.

"[Supreme Thunder: Dragon Slayer]!" Wotan shouted, readying his Gunir. "Maximize Lightning!"

King Wotan's [Lightning] attack will ignore resistance and cause additional [Dragon Slayer] damage!

The [Lightning] element is greatly enhanced!

Wotan Dragonsword was named for killing monster maggots; certainly, his skillful tactics should work on half of them.

"Wota

!" roared Mel Odius, though she did not change her [over-heal] tactics. Above her, the mages of Gardmagnar tried to bypass the shields protecting Chrom Cruach to join in Fighting, but they failed to penetrate the magical defenses. "How dare you betray me?! Betray the Master Race?!"

"You have mastered nothing!" replied Wotan, channeling lightning with his weapon. "I didn't betray myself."

"But you help these animals against your own kind!" Soul spit!"

The soul passed through Mel Odius's breastplate and transformed into three ghostly dragons... and a zmey.

This proves to be a poor choice, as Wotan inadvertently blasts them away with lightning. "[Ghost]," the former lord has been empowering himself with magic, while Odius sends more undead after him. This time, however, the former lord's spear struck them as if they were solid.

That is solid paper.

Meanwhile, Fuliben formed a barrier around Vankel and Victor, protecting them from the shells. However, while he was uninjured, the Forsaken's body was breaking down. "Fu

ibo

?" Winkle asked, and to his great surprise he became a little worried.

"As an undead creature, her (greedy siphon) will drain my life away," the Lich explained. "My time is short, Knight Baine."

No one can make a lich suffer, except Winkle himself!

"Then cover me." Maggot said, he knew how to destroy the castle. He just needed a brief respite and a place to anchor himself for a few seconds.

"You gave us souls, Odius," Wotan said to the Fairy Queen, and he killed every ghost she sent, the trapped souls returning to her core. "You have given us power beyond your imagination; the ability to transcend our primal needs to care for creatures less fortunate than ourselves. The power to be a true king. The power to fight without fear."

"You call this power?" Mel Odius replied scornfully, her body radiating light. A second later she fired beams in all directions like a flaming star, her light scorching her own fortress and destroying her defences. Fankel and Furiben immediately ran to any place they could take cover. "You have the same disease as the dragon, Wotan. You have forgotten yourself and let your food control you!"

"It's your fault," the Storm Lord replied, deflecting the laser with his spear. "No one should dominate others; it is not a natural law or the prerogative of the strong. Dalton and Nightbain taught me that. When we respect each other, we unlock our true potential. When I As the Valkyries grew more eager to protect me, I also found the strength to protect my creations."

The dragon lizard paused briefly, trying to understand what he meant.

"Odeus, in the last moments of your life, who dueled you?" Wotan asked. The flurry of attacks subsided for a few seconds as the Fairy Queen considered the Storm Lord's wise words carefully. "Machine? Golem? You don't want to protect anyone, so no one will risk their lives to save you. You fill the void inside with blood, just like I once did, but of course, you have to realize, That’s only half of life.”

For a moment, Venquill thought that Dragonbane's speech might have had a little influence on the Fairy Queen. Maybe not enough to make her reconsider her madness, but at least it filled her dark heart with doubt.

But there is no room for doubt or sympathy in this evil beast.

On the contrary, Mel Odius's eyes shone with contempt and cruelty.

"You're so weak," she spat in disgust. "You, my father, Merlin... you are all too weak to grasp true happiness, forcing me to take matters into my own hands. I've had enough of being disappointed. I'm going to kill you, Wotan. I'm going to kill you all , whether it is an orc or a lower race, until I am alone, in a quiet world. This universe only needs one me."

She attacks again with a laser barrage, targeting only the smarter ones.

Wotan, the greatest of this weak race, deflected the attack with his spear. “Even if you succeed, others will continue to oppose you,” he warned. “Because we will learn not to fear you anymore.”

"Let us put this determination into practice." The evil fairy stretched out her arms and cast a powerful spell. "[Giga

te]!”

Mel Odius's body grew exponentially until she towered over the towers of her castle; even with his enhanced stature, Winkle was still dwarfed by Emperor Tarask. Her bones were covered in a prismatic layer of light, a solid armor of light.

As for her HP…

(507165/6666)

Fankel was not afraid, but he stopped when he saw the number.

The huge dragon lizard landed on the steel ground, making Crom Cruach tremble with fear, and immediately tried to stomp Wotan. The former count stepped aside and placed his foot on one of the castle's turrets. Possessed by rage, the giant chased her young kin, destroying her own nest and barely noticing Winkle.

A terrible mistake. Taking advantage of the Forsaken's shield giving him a chance to breathe, Winkle landed on the ground and tethered himself to Chrom Cruach.

Then he called his right-hand man.

"(Feng Shui)!"

Feng Shui activated! Field type: C

om C

uach.

Effect: (short circuit).

A bolt of lightning passed through the castle, destroying the electrical circuits that powered it. Cannons and shells rained in all directions, and the will to control them disappeared; lightning bolts of energy shattered the prisms, and the whole castle creaked like a broken clock.

The voltage shocked the two men present, briefly knocking out Mel Aldeous, while Longbein ignored the lightning. Wotan raised his gunny and directed the electricity around him, just as he had done with the storm.

"World destruction!"

A blinding lightning quickly appeared in Vacker's sight, and at the same time the most powerful lightning spell hit Odius in the chest.

She didn't even flinch.

The thunderbolt did some damage, and if Odeus had been a smaller maggot, it might have killed her in one hit; but Dracolich had grown too big, and her HP reserves were too large, So the attack did little to scare her.

However, Wota

After launching his most ferocious attack, he finally ran out of breath, leaving an opportunity for revenge; Fankel and Fullibon were too far away to help.

Odius' giant hands, as quick as a snake's, caught Wotan and lifted him to the ground. Then she smashed the table on the pavement of Crom Crutch just as Emperor Tarasque of the Thai Empire had done to Winkle himself.

In this blow, there is no honor, no strategy; only raw, naked savagery. Odius's inner beast is exposed for all to see, a raging animal in the shape of a twisted, dead dragon.

In an attempt to resist, Dragon Sword fired a spear at her chest, but Black Crown blocked the blow. The weapon grazed her core without causing much damage and ended up embedding a malfunctioning cannon.

(497166/5667)

"This is the end," Mel Odius said, grabbing Gunnir with his fingers; because of the difference in size, it looked like a toothpick. "die."

"A coward like you will die a thousand times," King Wotan responded defiantly, facing death the way a dragon would. "I will only taste it once and I will not regret it."

The dragon god lifted up the Gunny and brutally stabbed Wotan through the forehead with his own weapon. The spear shot from side to side, making a sickening sound.

Wink's eyes widened in shock as Dragonbane Wotan's body went limp. The echoes of distant thunder suddenly disappeared.

King Wotan's [Storm Caller Pe

k canceled.

The dragon lizard opened her mouth and swallowed the former lord whole, his remains and weapons disappearing into her esophagus. This display of evil so frightened Winkle that he never even considered eating his own kind. She treats her race like food!

"It's your turn," Mel Odius said to Vaikr, as the huge giant glared at him. Fulibon was next. "It's too late for you to change anything."

"You too!" replied his friend Victor, his scythe imbued with magic. "Private world!"

The effect is immediate.

The space around Chrom Cruach's protective shield curved, the cracks in existence itself widening around it. Darkness spills over and reality folds in on itself. The sounds of fighting around the castle grew fainter, and Krum Cruach shifted from one dimension to another.

"No!" Mel Odius roared, tossing a steel tower aside to clear her line of fire, and the building collapsed to its side. "You can't stop me, Knight Squad! Not today!"

"I can, I will, fairy!" Fankel roared back after recovering from the divination.

Fomo attacks with her soul breath, a terrifying stream of broken souls that forms a deadly ray. The dragon and his knight flew away, towards the open sky previously occupied by the fairy.

"Meteor Shower!" The Lich summoned fiery stones to smite the drakes as it followed Winkle. While Vankle's geomantic attack didn't destroy Chrom Crunch, the spell got the job done. Mel Odius's huge size makes her impossible to dodge, but her HP is high and she barely deals any damage.

But they don't need to kill her. She will be forever sealed in her castle and can never threaten anyone again.

Fomo let out a roar of pure rage, and the items on his chest shone with a cursed light. "(Black Crest)! Give me your power! Open the way to victory!"

In response to her call, the crown glows with evil energy, just as they once did for Ravi's fight. Time and space begin to fracture around Draconic, and her magic clashes with that of her friend Victor.

"Accelerate teleportation!" Fulibeng shouted, quickly disappearing before he was trapped in the space effect. Both V&V members tried to do the same thing, using their Pe

ks to transmit.

"[Magella -"

Too late.

[The Immovable was denied by Mel Odius.

A black hole swallowed them up, and Fankel's world turned into darkness.
