BXBX NOVEL Chapter 247 Poor Balakh. 2
With his giant wings, Balakh had covered the sky with his shadow.
\'Finally, it won\'t be a waste of time. Attending a battle between two giants would bring me some inspirations that will greatly help me in the future. All I can hope for is the battle to last a little longer than I hope.\' Alvine, who was separated from others and covered with an invisible barrier, retorted these words in his thoughts.
He didn\'t care about the fate of a stranger; all that mattered to him were the benefits he could derive from it. The other reason that pushed him not to intervene was that, just like him, Linn also had her principles. So the accused or trying to prevent her was something he didn\'t want to do.
At the same time, Balakh had finished casting his destructive attack. The interior of the Linn barrier suddenly turned blood red following the emergence of dozens of giant flame storms that can annihilate an entire four-rank planet without too much trouble.
\'The chaos flames, known as flames belonging only to the species of ancient dragons. According to my knowledge (acquired in books), these flames are able to eradicate everything within their reach; they are similar to my gehenna flames, but there is a major difference. If I describe my flames as persistent flames that would continue to burn everything, even primordial mana, chaos flames are known for their ferocity and impatience to annihilate everything at the slightest contact; their power depends on how long a dragon can keep the flames active. But this dragon uses them in his field; he can not be a simple general.\' Alvine analyzed the battle without blinking for fear of missing an important detail.
But he then frowned when he saw Linn stand in the middle of this chaos without protecting herself with her magic energy. Even if the body of a primordial is endowed with extraordinary resistance, Alvine was sure that she could not come out unscathed if Balakh\'s attack hit her hard.
But no matter the threat Alvine saw, in Linn\'s eyes, it was not a threat that was worth forcing her to use her primordial powers.
The dozens of storms rushed towards her at the same time and merged at the same time, creating a cyclone that immediately engulfed her. But strangely, Alvine and the others could see Linn\'s silhouette standing inside the storm without wavering.
After about thirty seconds, the flames gradually decreased until they died after two minutes.
"!!!"
\'Sigh, they are scary, these primordial beings.\' Alvine almost pinched his cheek, wanting to wake up in the dream because of what he had just seen.
Unsurprisingly, Linn had not suffered the slightest damage. But the most disbelief for Alvine and the others was to see that even the black dress she wore was intact.
As for Balakh, seeing that his magic did not affect his target, he changed his schema attack. Balakh’s body flashes and lands directly on Linn\'s little \'fragile\' silhouette like a meteorite to physically attack her.
As if she wanted to give him a chance to prove his worth or something else, Linn did not move from her place even though she saw the dragon\'s claws whistle toward her neck.
-BAMM!
Following this attack, which contained Balakh\'s monstrous force, a giant crater was formed around Linn and where Balakh had just landed.
After the dispersion of the fog, Alvine and the others could see that Linn had not raised her hands to protect her face; instead, from her neck to the head, he was covered by ethereal blue scales like armor that prevented Balakh\'s claws from reaching her skin.
But Alvine learned another crucial detail. Regardless of Balakh\'s strength, his claws could not cross Linn\'s scales nor shove her back half a step from her original location despite his draconic strength!
On the other hand, Balakh did not feel desperate. He chained the claws blow by targeting the parts of Linn\'s body that had no scales. But regardless of his efforts, Linn\'s reaction speed was far higher than his; as a result, each claw blow on her part was destined to be countered back by Linn\'s scales that moved around her body, making her unshakeable against any Balakh’s assault.
\'Such a force...in such a small envelope? I am now curious to see the primordial form of Sabrina. But this dragon’s schemas attacks are bizarre. With his first attack alone, he should normally know that his strength is far lower than that of his opponent. But why doesn\'t he change his strategy? Apart from his flames and monstrous strength, he has not yet used the powers that make his race more fearful; the powers of words and the crimson lightning!\' Only Alvine had such carefree thoughts in such a situation.
"Sigh, I\'m tired of all this. It\'s time to give up, don\'t you think?" Linn\'s calm voice resounded in the barrier after a minute of non-stop assault on Balakh.
"Never! I refuse to accept such a pitiful defeat!" Balakh roared and prepared his draconic breath.
"At this distance, no matter how solid your scales, you could not fully cover your body with it; I invoke draconic authority, [Breath of annihilation]!!"
At the same time, the scales on Balakh\'s chest became like luminous crystals as his breath of annihilation manifested itself from his torso to his monstrous mouth.
"Pathetic," Linn murmured while still in her original place.
Balakh naturally ignored her words. He opened his mouth just a few centimeters from Linn and spat his flames directly on her!
"This battle is becoming more and more strange." Alvine couldn\'t help whispering these words for himself when he saw the battle between Linn and Balakh turn into a ridiculous battle. If it wasn\'t Linn, he even doubted that another primordial would let himself be caught in such a destructive attack in full face.
Balakh\'s open mouth alone measured about five to six meters, which was more than enough to swallow Linn without problems. But instead, just like the other dragons, Balakh may have preferred to grill his targets than eat them all raw.
But this detail was of little importance to them. Balakh continued to spit his flames for up to a minute in a row before exhausting his breath.
"Before killing you, I\'m going to fill your skull that has no brain; just because I used some of my scales to prevent my skin from being touched by your dirty claws, that means that I couldn\'t cover my entire body with my cuirass; it\'s just that I just didn\'t see the use of wasting my energy on your insignificant attacks."
At the same time as Linn\'s voice resounded, the flames dissipated around her, showing her body that was entirely covered with scales from head to toe. Apart from her star-blue eyes and long deep blue hair, no other body part could be visible. From the point of view of the others, she looked like an underwater humanoid creature with all the scales that covered her skin and her sharp claws!
"H-how is this possible?! It doesn\'t make sense!" Seeing Linn\'s current form, Balakh\'s unwavering heart trembled with horror in the face of Linn\'s overwhelming power.
\'If she is so strong, not to mention influencing her with my word powers, even my lightning will not be able to pierce her defense. It’s...
Before Balakh finishes his thoughts, Linn interrupts him.
"Keep this in your lower mind, big giant lizard, if your species is still independent, it is not because you are our equal, but only because outside of us, the primordials, you are the most powerful species that the goddess had created; it is therefore out of respect for the creation of our goddess, nothing more and no less." She says by demonstrating a long thin blade of ten meters created only thanks to her energy.
"Balakh, by disrespecting my person, I condemn you to purge your sins." She then decapitated Balakh\'s head with her spatial blade that had an imprint of her primordial aura.
It wasn\'t that Balakh let himself be decapitated, but Linn was too fast to give him time to avoid the latter\'s deadly attack. \'At least I forced him to use all his power!\' It was Balakh\'s only pride in the overwhelming battle he had just had with Linn.
\'How pitiful from you to believe that this armor of scales is my primordial form? Sigh; as a reward for your valiant efforts, I would stop there with this fake comfort for you.\' She declared, looking at Balakh\'s beheaded head.
Following this, she teleported the others inside the barrier.
*So this is how you look in your primordial form?* Alvine asked immediately after appearing to her.
*Why do you come to the same conclusion as this idiotic in his last moments? Do you seriously think I will use my most powerful form of combat to take care of a giant lizard?* She immediately retorted as her scales gradually disappeared from her body.
*Hm? * Alvine was even more confused when he heard her words.
*Tsk, he was proud to think that he had at least forced me to give my all after he saw my scale armor. But the most surprising thing is to see you confuse my primordial shape with simple scales that are an integral part of my body.*
Hearing Linn\'s words, Alvine decided to ignore him momentarily.
*But don\'t you think your fight with this dragon was a little wacky? It\'s still strange that you trounced him despite the curse that prevents you from using most of your powers.*
*But don\'t you think your fight with this dragon was a little wacky? He has neither used the powers of words that are specific to dragons nor to use the crimson lightning that is the pride of his race. The strangest thing is to see you trounce him despite the curse that prevents you from using most of your powers.*
*I know; he knew he could not defeat me regardless of his efforts, so he preferred to keep the most powerful power specific to red dragons to save these secrets. But you don\'t have to worry about the curse; it prevents me from using only all my primordial powers. I do not need such powers to submit such waste.*
"Can we leave with Balakh\'s body?" At the same time, Sestia\'s monotonous voice that could not correctly stifle her emotions resounded suddenly, interrupting Alvine and Linn, who were communicating by telepathy.
"Bringing his corpse with you? Little bird, why are you talking to me about this lizard as if he were dead? And even if that were the case, do you think I would let you bring back his corpse to animate him again?" Linn asked while frowning.
Unlike Sestia\'s panic, Alvine became more and more interested in Linn\'s words. "What do you mean by bringing back to life? As far as I remember, isn\'t it Sylvia\'s concept of infusing a breath of life into a dead person?" He asked in a suspicious tone.
