Divine Armament

In less than a minute, Ars had covered a distance of three kilometers. Even so, he actually restrained himself from using his full speed.

While running, suddenly a deep rumble came from the earth. Ice pillars falling from the ceiling could be seen in the distance.

"Oh, it finally sensed my arrival." Ars smiled faintly.

Finally, he was greeted with an incredible sight.

Countless ice dragons circled in the air.

"It seems that Bahamut doesn't know about this." Ars didn't look scared at all.

*🪨🪨🪨*

The ground shook violently. Snow that has accumulated on the surface of the mountains slides down, causing avalanches.

Facing the snow that wanted to bury him alive, Ars activated the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan in both eyes.

The doujutsu in his left eye, [Hinokagutsuchi] conjures up Amaterasu that burns all the avalanches as far as the eye can see.

*⚡⚡⚡*

With a flash of lightning, a spatial tear appeared in the air in the sky.

The spatial rift expanded. A terrible blizzard began to blow.

Emerging from the gap were countless ice dragons circling in the air and also...

Very large claws. That further enlarged the tear.

The figure was a large blue dragon.

Ars looked at this scene calmly. He did not try to stop the other party's efforts.

Planning, suspicious, and so on. Only those without abilities would use such methods. Those who are strong don't need it.

That's Ars' personal opinion.

"Zirnitra's domination ice spirit…" He muttered the name of the other party.

Zirnitra, one of Demon King Solomon's 72 Contracted Spirits.

"You came just in time, I happen to need an opponent to test the Divine Armament that Bahamut gave me."

Ars stretched his hand forward, his hand entered [Storage Magic], then drew a sword from inside.

"Balmung, Dragon Slayer Sword. To think Bahamut gave this Divine Armament."

He stroked his sword carefully.

Unlike the Elemental Waffe which was formed from Contracted Spirits, Divine Armaments were physical weapons at best.

It was a special weapon equipped with divine attributes, for example Balmung had the Dragon Slayer attribute, which was especially effective against dragon species.

Who would have thought that the Dragon King had a weapon to slay dragons?

"ROOOOOOOAAAAAR!"

Sensing Balmung's aura, Zinitra glared at Ars while roaring with hatred.

A group of ice dragons, baring their fangs and claws. While roaring loudly, they sucked in cold air.

Ars quickly unsheathed Balmung to block the cold air. He deflected the cold air that was released over a wide area.

As a result, the ground and surrounding trees were frozen by the cold air.

As sharp claws attacked from the side, Ars swung Balmung and cut the ice dragon into two pieces.

"Wanna pressure me with numbers? Try!"

Ars looked at Zinitra who was watching him from the sky, he showed a provoking smile. Instead of waiting for Areishia and Vitra to fight, Ars prefers to spend his time playing around.

He immediately slashed the two ice dragons that landed behind him.

The ice dragon was no match for him, and fell to Ars' attack.

As time passed, more and more ice dragons died under Ars's sword swings. Their corpses piled up to form a hill.

Ars himself stopped counting the number of ice dragons he had killed at the count of 100.

Suddenly, the ice dragon's ferocious attack stopped instantly.

"Did you finally take action?" Ars looked up at the sky.

Hundreds of ice dragons faced the same direction, completely motionless in the air.

The ice dragon's gaze was directed at Zirnitra flying in the sky.

"ROOOOOOOAAAAAR!"

Zirnitra roared towards the sky.

As a result, the air vibrates. Then a roaring blizzard blew Ars away, but he thrust Balmung into the ground and stopped being pushed.

A blizzard blows in the air over the forest. Lumps of ice were faintly visible amidst the blizzard. At this moment, the blowing snowstorm stopped.

The flying Zirnitra caught and ate all the ice dragons around it.

Catching the circling ice dragons one after another, Zirnitra ate them without holding back at all.

Every time it ate an ice dragon, Zinitra's body would develop further.

Accompanied by a loud breaking sound, ice grew from it back.

"Interesting~... Does Zinitra get stronger by eating its own species? No wonder Bahamut chased it away." Ars guessed the other party's plan.

Like other protagonists, he just watches and lets the enemy transform to become stronger.

After merging with a large number of ice dragons, Zirnitra no longer resembled her original form. Its entire body was gnawed, protruding with pillars of black ice that resembled pillars.

*Clang*

Peeled from Zirnitra's body, the ice fell to the ground, causing noise and dust to scatter.

At this time, Zirnitra experienced changes in the air.

Unable to support its weight after excessive expansion, it began to fall freely.

*BAM*

The impact of the landing shook the ground.

The wind pressure swept away the surrounding trees. The impact created a small crater in the ground. Ars even uses Susano'o's rib shape to generate wind pressure.

"You're a monster that only knows to devour everything." Ars said lightly without caring about the increase in his enemy's strength.

After landing on the ground, Zirnitra released cold air from its giant body, freezing the ground around it.

"ROOOOOOOAAAAAR!"

Suddenly, the ground swelled as countless ice blades appeared around it.

Zinitra assimilates the forest and turns the ground into blades of ice.

Ars didn't move but the ice blade couldn't break Susano'o's defense.

"After swallowing so many ice dragons, is this your strength?" He seemed disappointed because Zinitra did not meet his expectations.

"Then it's my turn."

Instantly with an explosive kick to the ground, Ars shot towards Zinitra, the Balmung in his hand crushed the blade of ice that suddenly appeared from the ground.

"ROOOOOOOAAAAAR!"

Zirnitra roared, shooting ice blades from the ground in a radial pattern.

Ars kicked the ground to speed up. He rushed into the roaring blizzard to attack Zirnitra's body. He jabbed Balmung at the chunk of ice.

With a shattering sound, a hole opened in Zinitra's body.

But soon, new ice appeared filling the breached location.

"Oh, you can even regenerate." Ars was a little surprised at this discovery.

The most troublesome enemies are those that can heal damage taken.

"ROOOOOOOAAAAAR!"

Countless pillars of ice sprouted from Zirnitra's entire body, then shot out.

Faced with pressure fire from all directions fired at close range, it was impossible to dodge.

However, Ars didn't need to dodge. Susano'o protects him from the attack.

"Let's try using it."

Keeping his distance from Zinitra, Ars held Balmung with both hands in front of him, then injected a large amount of energy.

Balmung formed a pillar of blue light that soared into the sky and was accompanied by strong winds.

"Prepare yourself!"

"The Evil Dragon shall fall, and the world will reach its sunset."

"I will bring you down ― Balmung!

After finishing his monologue to look cool, Ars swung Balmung vertically.

The next second, Balmung who was filled with power released a light cannon.

*BOOOOMMMMM*

There was a powerful explosion that shook the ground.

After a while, the light cannon disappeared and Zinitra's figure was nowhere to be seen.

"Imitating Sigfried's Noble Phantasm was a success!"

Seeing the destructive power Balmung released, Ars nodded in satisfaction.

Storing Balmung back into [Storage Magic], Ars rushed back to Areishia's side.

When he arrived, Vitra was already dying and Areishia made the finishing move.
