Chapter 963 Shadow Soul Dragon of Eternal Malice


    ??-----


    Eustace''splete body exploded into ck darkness, the cloud of shadow essence flowing into the skies and quickly taking a different shape, the shape of a ferocious and monstrous dragon. Maria and her friends couldn''t help but feel shocked once they saw what was happening! The ck Knight had yet to unleash all of his powers.


    "RAAAARRR!"


    Ding!


    [The [Corrupted Undead ck Knight: Eustace: Lv200+ (S+++ Rank)] has released all the Malice and Corruption from its soul! These malign powers have taken a new form, absorbing the Special Shadow Dragon Martial Arts learned in Murim, and activating their Hidden Ability, transforming him into the [Shadow Soul Dragon of Eternal Malice]!]


    [All of his Stats have increased by +300%, his Darkness, Shadow, and ck mes Attribute Magic Power has increased by an additional +500%!]


    [However, his Soul is slowly being eaten away this transformation cannotst much longer.]


    [Duration: 10 Minutes.]


    Not only was Maria shocked over the boosts to his stats and power, but also that it explicitly said he learned these powers in Murim! It made sense why they seemed so different than Yggdrasil''s own martial arts and techniques.


    And it also seemed like Eustace was tricked by whoever taught him such techniques. As it carried a powerful drawback where they would umte Malice from the user''s own unstable emotions, and then erupt into a monstrous transformation that would eat their souls away.


    The power Eustace relied the most was now even aiming to destroy his very soul... Maria couldn''t help but think that people from the Murim world were real assholes.


    "So he''ll still die in ten minutes..." Maria sighed. "What a reckless move, Eustace! We can''t let you eat your own soul! We have so many questions to ask you!"


    "ROOOAAARRR!"


    Eustace hadpletely gone insane, roaring like a monstrous dragon and then rushing down towards everyone. His gigantic ethereal body being now over three hundred meters tall! His titanic dragon ws rushed down, about to sh through all his foes while leaving explosions of ck mes.


    "Alright, I guess there''s no helping it."


    Lucifer''s size grew evenrger, matching Eustace''s draconic and ethereal form, and shing against him with his own dragon ws and tail. Activating several skills at a time, their mes shed against one another, zing explosions decorating the sands surrounding them and above.


    The crystal beasts evolved alongside their monstrous master as well, quickly continuing to grow out of every ss created out of the ck mes burning the sand. Their smaller forms fused into evenrger creatures, some already hitting S- Rank!


    Fabian and his friends, alongside Takeshi, Laura, and Tear had their hands full dealing with them, while Catarina, Silva, and Nyx, Celes, and Nia also helped them, while trying to get to the giant dragon so they could also help on damaging its gigantic form.


    "You''re nothing but a terrible copy of a true and glorious dragon!"


    BAAM! BAAM! BAAM! BAAM!


    Lucifer was tanking countless hits, as he had his flesh gnashed and his scales torn apart. His ws and tail attacks pierced through the ethereal dragon''s form, filling it with holes that quickly regenerated back to normal.


    "Maria, did you say this monster only has ten minutes left?! Does that mean he''s invincible in these ten minutes or something?!" Asked Lucifer in shock, seconds before the giant dragon were to push him down and beginning to bite his neck. "ARGH! Screw off!"n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    Lucifer harnessed all his powers into his legs, kicking the draconic ethereal mass into the skies with all the power his gigantic body could muster.


    BAAAAMM!!


    "RAAARR!"


    The monstrous dragon was sent flying, only for Partner and Jonathan to appear at each side, pointing their weapons at him. They flew there at lightning speed, only resembling two blurs of red and golden yellow color.


    "Alright, once more!" Partner roared. "I''m not letting you get away this time, ck knight! [Chaotic Vampire Queen''s Burst]!"


    The Vampiress harnessed all the Blood Energy avable on her reserves, leaving her with close to zero, fusing it with her immense quantities of Mana, and then imbuing it into her crimson-colored spear, which immediately changed, growing ten times asrge, as a spiraling storm of crimson lightning and ruby colored clouds materialized around the spear.


    With all her strength, she pierced Eustace''s draconian body, a huge explosion of blood and darkness engulfed more than half of the monster''s entire body, making it quickly begin to disintegrate.


    CRAAAASSHH!!


    The crimson blood seemed to spiral around the weapon, engulfing the entire dragon into a vortex and then absorbing half of its mass, before exploding into ruby-colored lightning that opened the skies above, which had grown dark with ck clouds, and destroying half of his entire body.


    BOOOOMMMM!!!


    "Woah…"


    Jonathan was shocked as he saw the gigantic ethereal ck dragon fall to the ground from the sky, it had attempted to resist first, but once half its entire body was blown up, it simply groaned in agony, bleeding off ethereal essence, part of its own bloated soul.


    "GRUOOHHH!"


    However, on a desperate attempt of survival, even as an Undead, the monstrosity''s shape twisted, growing a gigantic head where half of its body was and firing a breath attack against Partner!


    "[Heaven''s Fall]!"


    Jonathan didn''t let that happen, harnessing almost all of his Mana and releasing it through his sword, activating his strongest technique, the skies opened as a ray of endless light descended together with his own divine sword, shing through the dragon and them making most of it explode.


    BOOOOOMMM!!!


    As if a second explosion couldn''t be enough, the gigantic monster fell into the sands, the crystal monsters rushed towards it, fusing with its missing soul parts and beginning to turn it into a half-ethereal and half-crystal monstrosity.


    "RAAAARRRGH!"


    Materializing hundreds of crystal weapons around him, he swiftly fired them against everyone nearby, forcing them to defend or escape! What''s worse, whenever the crystal projectiles hit something, they exploded into even more ck crystals, which gave birth to even more monsters!


    "You''re getting ahead of yourself, Eustace."


    Maria rushed down towards him, at the same time as a gigantic arrow overflowing with many elements was fired against the dragon from Emeraldine right behind her.


    "Let''s end this!"
