Chapter 2368: Clash Of Venerables II [4]

"Wait, wait! You have to tell us more about that! How did the battle go?! What did you do?! Wait, how strong was he?!" Miranda asked.

"Susanoo? Really damn strong," Drake said. "I’d say a little stronger than this guy, but I can’t say for sure. I fought him when he was already tired and wounded by you."

"That’s definitely at Ancient Venerable tier then..." Benladann nodded, rubbing her chin. "Alright! Enough chitchat, we gotta keep moving!"

"Yeah, I can feel Fuyu close by. Everyone said they would regroup on my side, but I want to find Fuyu as quickly as I can. Let’s move," Drake nodded. "We’ll probably find everyone else there!"

"Yeah!" Drake’s family cheered.

As they rushed forward, Drake felt Fuyu’s presence drawing closer and closer. He quickly encompassed his family with his Aura, piercing through hundreds of floors at once.

RUMBLE!

The entire Endless Castle trembled before his might. His Light of Providence Aura surged across his body, helping him connect to another powerful being that was tormenting Fuyu and her allies.

"There!" he said.

"What’s wrong?" Benladann asked.

"Can’t you feel him? He’s over there. That bastard... Deus, was it?" Drake asked. "Fortune’s master. Someone even more ancient than him!"

"His Dominion is much stronger. Is the dimensional barrier in front of us?!" Yuki asked.

"Yeah. I’ll need everyone to help me out or we won’t make it in time!" Drake said.

He was confident he could break through, but it would take more time than he could afford to waste.

"Alright! Dear, let’s do it again, shall we?"

"Oway!"

Yuki and Yudra turned into light, as giant armor and a dress of white and red manifested around them, transforming into Amaterasu’s Archetype—the Solar Empress.

Her power surged as she unsheathed her blade, overflowing with energy and combining it with Drake’s.

Everyone else was shocked by that Archetype and how majestic and strong she looked!

However, they didn’t have much time to admire Amaterasu, as they quickly unleashed their Archetypes.

"Now!"

Drake roared, as everyone pointed their Archetype Weapons and activated their Skills at once, unleashing a destructive, combined attack.

Spiraling white and golden lights intermixed, turning into a giant vortex that pierced through an invisible dimensional wall.

Crack, crack...!

And like glass, it shattered.

CRASH!

Bright light and white clouds engulfed everyone, as they were rapidly dragged inside yet another Dominion—one of pure, radiant light.

RUMBLE!

The powerful explosion of light that Drake and his family caused reverberated through the Dominion, revealing the intense battle ongoing inside.

Above, a giant hole showed where Fuyu was coming from, while Drake’s brother and Ruby flew toward her, escaping an army of thousands of giant statues shaped like ancient gods.

And in the distance, the mastermind behind it all—a man made entirely out of light. Unlike Fortune, he overflowed with power. Although Ruby and Drake’s brother had pushed him back a lot, he was still far superior.

"D-Drake?!"

"It’s him!"

Hrimvaldr and Ruby noticed the arrival of a giant dragon accompanied by several Archetypes at his side. His intimidating presence spread through the Dominion, twisting its spatial membranes.

"I’m here."

"Hm?!"

Deus’ eyes widened as he saw yet another person arrive—or rather, a group of people. And they were the ones he didn’t want to see until much later.

"You have to be kidding me! Really?! Why is he here just now?! Wait, Fortune’s presence...! It’s gone...?"

Drake’s arrival shook Deus’ heart. He glanced at him with fury... Everything had been going wonderfully for him, but not anymore.

BOOOM!

An explosion of bright silver and golden light erupted in the middle of the Dominion. Fuyu and everyone inside her saw the statues exploding into pieces, as Drake and his family rushed forward, beginning to destroy them to protect their allies.

"Brother, you’re here!" Hrimvaldr said, smiling with relief.

Drake noticed his form was golden. Although he was still heavily wounded and exhausted, it seemed his brother had achieved the Golden Dragon King form on his own.

"Drake! I knew you would come!" Ruby said. "I never lost hope!"

Meanwhile, Ruby had transformed into her giant bat-like creature form. Her appearance had shifted into a considerably more intimidating creature, and she overflowed with power she had drained from the cursed miasma everywhere.

However, the power of the Celestial Path Venerable—the only successor to the Ancient Gods—was immense. And although they had driven him back and tried to buy as much time as possible, he had trapped them inside his Dominion. It was only a matter of time before they would die.

Fuyu and everyone else had broken into the Dominion after trying for a while, coming to their rescue. But the army of godly statues was too big and powerful, beginning to drag the gigantic ship down.

"Go back to Fuyu! Leave this to us!"

Drake swiftly spread his wings, as countless beams of various elemental flames erupted, bombarding hundreds of godly statues at once. Their bodies exploded into rubble everywhere.

Drakda summoned the power of his Archetype, conjuring a long scythe and cutting through everything in his dragon form, while also firing three dragon breaths from all three of his jaws.

Benladra wielded her spear in her dragon form as well, piercing through her foes while conjuring powerful beams of light and starlight with her Archetype’s abilities.

Kate rapidly summoned her army of divine bots, which flew toward the statues, swarming them and making them crumble into pieces.

Benladann and Miranda fused into their Chaotic Dragon Titan form, unleashing a barrage of powerful axe strikes and slashing claws from their Archetype’s Skills.

RUMBLE!

In front of Deus’ flabbergasted face, his entire army of godly statues was being destroyed, all while Ruby and Hrimvaldr escaped his grasp, riding Fuyu and getting out of there.

"You will not get anywhere!"

Deus seemed furious, grabbing Gungnir and pointing it at Fuyu, unleashing a beam of piercing divine light that struck her body and left a massive hole through her.

BOOOM!

"Uuggh!"

Fuyu felt her soul being damaged at the same time as her vessel. Drake grew mad, rushing toward her and blocking the incoming attacks from Deus’ Divine Weapons.
