Chapter 726 - Moving Forward
-----
Meanwhile, as the soldiers, sect disciples, and even the adventurers that were staying in the Orange Village this night protected the village's front gates, Drake, Benladann, and Miranda were already outside of the village's walls, rushing through the grasslands surrounding the entire village and reaching up into the darkness of the night, as they quickly saw in the distance large grotesque chimeras they had never seen before, alongside other monstrous creatures, led and accompanied by Lizardmen wearing cursed armor and wielding cursed weapons.
"T-There they are…" Said Benladann, looking into the distance as she wielded her two axes, her entire aura emanated a strangely very close aura to the army in front of her just a few hundreds of meters away.
"Indeed… Oh, they're a lot… But we have also grown stronger ourselves…" Said Miranda. "I think I can handle most of that area."
"Hmm… This army seems to be tricky, don't rush forward recklessly, if possible, try to attack from a distance." Said Drake. "I am also aiding the people at the village… Yuki, Pekora, and Tisha will aid the village as well, while we left Rakasha inside the village with Benladra, there is Fuyu with them too."
At the same time as Drake analyzed the entire battlefield and his plans, he quickly opened his shadows, two enormous dark beasts that could easily camouflage in the darkness of the night emerged, emanating tremendously strong Auras of darkness that made even the enemy who were all wielding the power of Chaos suddenly felt a slight chill down their spines, although that didn't stopped them from marching forward.
"Kumo, Kuro, you two can go wild as well… but keep yourselves together if possible." Said Drake. He had left Huginn and Muninn guarding the village, specifically the inn where Benladra was sleeping soundly, while Frost was… being mounted by him, Benladann, and Miranda as the three were sitting over his big back.
"And Frost… Let's go!" Said Drake, leading his valiant draconic ice wolf as the glorious beast howled pridefully, his beautiful bluish fur and his iridescent shining azure eyes made the creature resemble some sort of divine beast!
"Then I am going as well!" Said Miranda, jumping out of Frost as she suddenly shapeshifted her entire body, materializing into a giant and monstrous spider similar to Kuro, but she had gigantic crab-like pincer as well, and even large wings! This was the power of Miranda after developing enough, she was able to absorb corpses and become able to shapeshift into them, but that wasn't able, she was even able to pick which traits she wanted to fuse into a base form, giving her an amazing customization ability at the time of taking a more defined and solidified form!
"GROOOARRR!" Her enormous body roared, resembling a monster right out of an apocalypse, she led Kuro and Kumo into battle first, quickly approaching the enemy army as the lizardmen wearing dark armor and wielding dark weapons noticed the enormous giant trio, meanwhile, Benladann looked into the distance behind Drake, as her axes began to glow with bright mana as she infused her power into it!
"Drake… These monsters for some reason really have a strong connection with my own Chaos element…" She said.
"I have figured out they had something to do…" Said Drake. "How do you feel it?" Drake was curious about his wife's thoughts about the entire thing, she answered swiftly, telling him how she felt about the situation and how these energies made her sense these monsters…
"It feels as if they were somehow related to me? Even though that's impossible…" She said. "Unlike other people that wield similar elements, it seems as if all those that wield Chaos Element sense some sort of wicked kinship with one another… I don't know if Miranda feels it, but she certainly doesn't seem to mind it."
"And do you mind it?" Wondered Drake.
"Well, it would be a lie if I said I didn't, but it is not like I will let that control my judgment… This feeling of kinship is not even a good and warm one like the one I get from my parents, you, or Benladra… it feels grotesque, it feels… gross and disgusting, in fact…!" She said.
"I see… Apparently, according to my slime clone spies spying the depths of the jungle, I heard some info from the lizardmen living there, apparently the Scaled God created this army or something…" Said Drake. "I think that guy might be able to wield Chaos-Element… And he's also a Dragon to boot."
"So he is a Chaos-element user like me!" Said Benladann in surprise. "…Well, that bastard is daring to destroy this village for no reason at all, so I am not really going to empathize with him!"
"Me neither, let's quickly end this then! …Maybe you could try eating some of the Chaos creatures, they could power you up for all we know." Said Drake.
"What?! That's a ridiculous idea- Wait, maybe…" Said Benladann, as she quickly decided to jump away from Frost's back. "Now, I'll go on my own, don't worry about me too much, I got Shiro with me as well!" Benladann said while smiling confidently back at Drake, suddenly, a beautiful moonlight dragon spirit in the form of a long and serpentine white dragon emerged, coiling around her neck and shoulders.
"Shiro, get bigger, just like we practiced back then!"
"GYSHI!"
POOF!
Suddenly, Benladann infused her Mana into large quantities inside of her Spirit Moonlight Dragon, as the small white snake suddenly transformed, turning as big as 20 meters, and resembling a giant white snake with four legs, a mix between a beautiful white snake and an eastern dragon, with a big, purple-colored jewel in the middle of its head as well, which glowed with bright moonlight mana essence…
"ROOOARRR!" Shiro roared like a true dragon, as she took into her temporary form, making her into a powerful dragon spirit of young adult stage!
"Incredible." Said Drake from the distance, as Benladann mounted her dragon and rushed into the battlefield.
