RISE OF EROS-Chapter 689 - 688

While this was happening, in the vicinity of the dragons’ territory, Carcom was traveling at high speed towards one of the seals of the remnants of the fallen god that one of the dragon kings protected.

Carcom was not trying to hide, in fact, he was flying with total bragging, arrogance, and madness. He was not in his humanoid form but in his true form as a dragon, something that dragons only did when the situation was critical.

Dragons, although few know it, are beasts. Although they adopt humanoid forms, when they are facing a tough battle or in danger they use their true forms, as it allows them to make use of all their power.

That is why when they fight they adopt partial forms of their bodies, even if they are in humanoid form, such as their claws or tail. This is why Carcom showed that he was ready for a fight to the death.

To be more exact, his mind was not quite right. The assimilation of the fragment of the fallen god’s remnants had affected him and now he only sought the other pieces.

In short, the current Carcom could no longer call himself Carcom or even a dragon. He had the ambition to assimilate the fallen god, but that was only a dream, as the small fragment he had had already corrupted him, so assimilating the rest was impossible.

Although he still retained some of his essence, he had truly lost the battle. In addition, his appearance is far from that of a dragon. If Andrew saw the true form of a dragon, he would immediately recognize it.

Dragons were just as they were imagined on Earth. Huge lizards hundreds of meters long with sharp claws and teeth and bodies full of scales. In short, they were what on Earth they called western dragons.

However, Carcom’s current form was somewhat different. A strange and malevolent aura surrounded him like black smoke that erupted from his body. Although his claws and teeth were still sharp like any other dragon’s, the biggest difference was in his scales.

Rather than saying they were scales, it was better to describe them as thick steel skin. If Andrew would describe a dragon in its true form as a flying tank, but it would be more suitable for Carcom than any other dragon.

Since he didn’t try to hide, Carcom was quickly discovered and the nearby dragon king immediately took action. This was Lujan, one of those who faced him before when he tried to sneak into the dragon territory in Crhono’s absence.

Like Biacko, Lujan was powerful, but now that he was facing Carcom, he could tell the difference. Before Carcom had no chance of beating him, but currently everything changed.

It wasn’t that Lujan felt he was weaker than Carcom, in fact, he was even stronger, but the strange dark aura surrounding him made him feel uneasy. His senses screamed at him that Carcom was dangerous.

Without wasting any time he assumed his true form. Although his body in dragon form was huge, compared to the current Carcom, they were still a bit smaller and less impressive. Not that size had anything to do with strength, but in this case, it seemed to be the case. The translucent green of Lujan’s scales created a jarring contrast with Carcom’s dark skin.

The two stared at each other for seconds and Lujan even tried to talk to Carcom, but the latter didn’t seem to want to talk, as he instantly launched a strong attack. A beam of dark energy came out of his mouth towards Lujan.

Despite the sudden attack, Lujan managed to move and dodge. As Carcom had no intention of speaking, Lujan didn’t either and quickly counterattacked with a powerful gust of wind from his mouth.

More than a gust, it looked like a concentrated tornado bolt. The powerful attack hit Carcom, which surprised Lujan, as he couldn’t believe that Carcom didn’t do anything to dodge.

The destruction of his attack was massive, causing a slight earthquake as it hit the ground. Anyone would be killed or seriously injured by an attack like that and Carcom who had experienced it before, knew it.

Despite that, when the dust cleared, Lujan could see Carcom on the ground, without a scratch. His powerful attack had barely pushed him to the ground but had failed to penetrate Carcom’s skin.

This not only surprised him, but it made him bitter. He had not held back and the fact that Carcom had taken his attack without being harmed, gave him a clear answer as to why Carcom had not avoided it.

He couldn’t hurt him. That much was clear, but it didn’t mean that Lujan would give up or run away. This wasn’t out of pride, or anything like that, the reason was simple, if he did, Carcom would take the remnants of the fallen god into his custody.

Allowing him to do that was more worrying than the fact that he couldn’t defeat him. Lujan quickly came to the conclusion that he should hold him back until help arrived.

He knew that Carcom’s presence wouldn’t be ignored by the other dragon kings and Crhono, so his mission was to hold on. With that in mind, the battle resumed with another attack from Carcom.

Powerful bolts of dark energy shot out of Carcom’s mouth like bullets in a machine gun, which left Lujan a little helpless. It wasn’t that he couldn’t dodge, but there were too many of them to dodge them all.

Despite returning the attacks, Carcom suffered no damage, while Lujan’s scales were torn off and blood began to flow from his body from mere brushes of Carcom’s attacks. The landscape had already changed. The lush forest and tall mountains that once stood tall were now nothing more than a wasteland that stretched for miles, it had become a desert.

Smoke rose everywhere and burnt trees were seen everywhere, even though neither Lujan nor Carcom used fire as an attack. The battle hadn’t been going on for long, but a clear winner could already be seen.

Lujan’s body looked mutilated in different parts and had even lost an arm, while Carcom didn’t look any different than when he arrived. Despite that, Lujan had noticed, it wasn’t that he couldn’t hurt him, it was just that it was minimal.

Carcom had some tears and bruises on his body, but they were minor injuries compared to his damage. Still, Lujan did not give up and continued to fight. Despite the disadvantages and injuries, he had to buy time. Carcom could ignore Lujan’s attacks and move towards his target, but at this moment he could not think clearly.

He was not much different from an abyssal. In his mind, there were only two thoughts. The first was to take the remnant of the fallen god, for the fragment of the fallen god inside him and the sealed remnant attracted each other.

However, the second thought was stronger and it was the madness of destruction and chaos. "Since there was an opponent challenging him, he fought, he would look for the remnant later," was his thought or rather instinct.
