Chapter 2404: Clash Of Venerables II [40]
-----
"I trust you can do this."
Drake's voice echoed through everyone's souls. The children smiled, while Benladann, Miranda, and Yuki sighed, realizing he was indeed with them.
"I am fighting an enemy that could kill everyone here, and I must take him down right now... but if you truly need my help, I can—"
"No, sorry... I understand, dear," Benladann smiled. "You're right, we can't get cocky. We're here fighting so we can show you what we can do."
"Don't worry about us, dad!" Benladra said.
"We've got this," Kate nodded.
"We'll do it together; we just have to organize!" Yuki added.
"Wawaauuhh!" Benladra raised her big paws, roaring bravely.
"Heh, alright. But if it wasn't for everyone's help, I wouldn't have come this far. My progress, my growth, it's all thanks to everyone's support as well as my own efforts. Therefore, my growth is also your growth."
FLAAASH!
The Golden Spark within everyone's souls flared, rapidly becoming larger and more powerful, glowing with rainbow light.
There was now an even greater untapped potential within their Golden Dragon King Transformation, but it was up to them to discover it.
"Then I am leaving this to you. Andromeda will assist you. I am placing my trust and hope in you. I won't take long—wait for me."
As Drake's voice faded, their Auras surged. Their golden forms returned as their energies glowed brightly.
Indeed, as Drake said, his growth was also their growth. He loved his family more than anything, but he also knew that too much love could make someone conceited and weak.
In a world where threats roamed everywhere, he understood they had to grow stronger—especially after much insistence from his wives and children.
Now, they couldn't complain that he wasn't helping, could they?
Benladann and Miranda felt a little embarrassed; they had gotten too cocky.
"Fufu! How amusing! You are all incredible! The first ever to survive so many of my techniques... I will reward you with a beautiful, artistic death! I will paint my white canvas with the crimson of your blood!"
Mitsuhide rushed down, his red katana glowing brightly, absorbing the blood of its victims and growing stronger. He swung his sword down, then moved it left, right, above, and down once more.
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
A Voidflower Waltz manifested, five times larger than before, encompassing an area of over three hundred meters around Mitsuhide as the powerful swordsman descended.
Yuki was already strong, but Mitsuhide's mastery of technique surpassed even Susanoo, though the Heavenly King was stronger in raw power.
"Energy attacks won't work as well, remember that! We have to counter him with our weapons!" Benladann roared. "Let's do this, kids!"
"OOOOOHHHHH!"
The children roared. Kate, the only one who had figured out how to harm Mitsuhide with her Proton Cannons, rapidly manifested dozens around her golden metallic dragon body. She charged them with energy and fired.
"Take this!"
She began the onslaught, as Mitsuhide used his technique to pierce through her attacks, moving closer. Instead of cutting through the beams, he avoided them—smart, but exactly what Kate wanted.
The clever girl had anticipated this. By forcing him to dodge, she controlled his movements, guiding him in certain directions.
Mitsuhide, immersed in his attack, ignored this fact. He reached Benladann and Miranda first, his face twisted into a vicious smile, his Divine Cursed Sword Aura surging like a giant red viper hissing at them.
"Fufufu! {Bloodveil Requiem – Kessa No Chinkonka}!"
Akechi enveloped himself in a flowing veil of crimson mist, spreading around him like a Domain. It spiraled forward, making his presence nearly invisible as the mist rushed toward them, aiming to trap everyone inside.
As the beams reached him, he avoided them with this technique. Kate realized the mist reflected damage, releasing crimson slashes in response to avoided attacks—dozens of waves of crimson energy rained down rapidly.
"Attacking him only creates more attacks?! What sort of technique is that?" Benladra shouted angrily.
"He has mastered the sword to an incredible level, mixing it with Cursed Sorcery to achieve techniques not even Susanoo could reach...!" Yuki said. "But he's reckless, driven entirely by bloodlust! Now!"
Yuki roared as everyone's Aura surged, merging into a swirling sea of golden essence. It spread into a Domain, and then...
A Dominion!
"{Divine Dragon Soul Aura Fusion}: {Golden Dragon King's Family Dominion}!"
Akechi was caught in their trap. As he reached them, the Dominion swallowed him alongside everyone else, destabilizing his technique. His attacks were blocked by giant walls of golden scales rising from the sea of liquid gold, while Benladann and Miranda charged forward.
"{Heavenly Chaos Dragon Axe Arts}: {Soul-Splitting Chaotic Cross}!"
"ROOOAAARRR!"
The roar of a mighty chaos dragon echoed through Benladann and Miranda's combined axe art. The axe descended, the dragon clashing against Mitsuhide. His mist exploded, revealing his body behind them—their attack missed!
However...
"{Heavenly Dragon Spear Arts}: {Starlight Fang}!"
Benladra appeared behind him, blitzing through the skies as a blur of golden light. Her spear glowed, striking Mitsuhide with sharp, piercing attacks. Explosions of light and cosmic dust spread through the skies of the Dominion.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
Benladann and Miranda wasted no time, continuing their assault. Mitsuhide was forced to defend against Benladra's strikes, his back shattered by chaotic flames and abyssal demonic darkness.
BOOOMMM!!!
"Fufufu! Fuahahaha!"
Despite groaning in pain as the explosive strike destroyed his armor and burned his exposed back, he laughed loudly, spinning midair with his sword in hand.
"{Moonveil Reversal: Crimson Arc Walt – Gessha Gyakuzan: Kuren Rinbu}!"
SLAAAASH!
A gigantic arcing slash of crimson energy struck Benladann, Miranda, and Benladra, shattering their scales and armor, leaving a deep cut from their faces down to their stomachs.
"Aaaaggh!"
"Ouch! Aaauhh!"
Bleeding and crying in pain, they watched Mitsuhide rush toward Benladra, aiming for her head, trying to behead her!
Drake's children had inherited his immortality to varying degrees, but none could survive beheading except Drakda, who had three heads.
If Benladra was beheaded, she would die instantly.
"DON'T TOUCH HER!"
Benladann roared, her humanoid form twisting into her complete Chaos Dragon form. Slim and agile, she charged Mitsuhide, grabbing him with her giant claws—even as his slashes cut her fingers into pieces.
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
