The War's Progress

The battle continued to rage on and Kai had managed to release [Blood Detonation] another 3 times, effectively killing a total of around ten thousand enemies. Unfortunately, he wasn't omnipotent, he could get tired and repeated usage of the ability had started to drain him mentally.

He had realised that he would need to regain his peak state for the battle ahead if he wanted to face Dahak and not get killed. Therefore, he wouldn't be able to join the "normal'' battle. He returned to his post and sat down after establishing several powerful protective barriers around him.

There would be many beings that were aiming to take his life and he didn't want to be unprepared. If he had learnt something in his years in the HP world it was that there was never enough protection.

He sat down and quietly focused on the battlefield while regaining his mental reserves. Where he saw the court fighting against the dragons and their vampire riders. In the beginning, the court was beating back the enemy army, but as the war continued, they were slowly pushed back.

The dragons were innately much more powerful than most of the Court's forces and the army was made up of what Kai estimated was 100,000 dragons, he didn't bother counting the vampires as they were almost useless and only the 4th generation and lower could actually damage the Court's own forces.

The dragons were classified as A- creatures, beings that could easily take down 10 wizards that were at the B level. There was a special Division in the army composed of around 10,000 A class dragons, each one of these creatures could take down at least 100 B class wizards or magical beings.

The vampire progenitor reckoned that the only reason that they could take down so many wizards was because of their highly magic resistant hide.

If they were to fight against a B rank creature that only had outstanding physical strength then they would perish much more quickly.

But even then, the dragons were still A class creatures and could still take down multiple soldiers with them. As the war continued it was becoming increasingly clear that the court was being taken care of.

The dragons had lost around 30% of their total numbers while the court had lost at least 60%. It was obvious that they were losing, and the transcendents couldn't step in, otherwise when the enemy transcendents attacked they would be too tired to defend and thus be slaughtered.

At that moment when the morale was becoming increasingly low, Morgana cast a wide scale buffing type magic that increased the soldiers regeneration and physical strength. Two important attributes for the whole army.

This was an enormous magical energy consumption, to successfully enhance over 2.5 million soldiers required incredibly deep reserves to do such a feat.

The vampire lord knew that he couldn't do such a thing without collapsing, he respected her for not falling down and instead remained standing in the same spot stoically, making it look like it was nothing.

The soldiers morale was boosted and brought to a new all-time high and they fought viciously tearing the dragons with them. On the battlefield, the dragons fought in a mindless animalistic way due to the orders of Dahak their ancestor, while the Court's army had let go of their fear due to their new sense of power and were rivalling the dragons fighting style and ferocity.

It was a bloodbath, limbs were being chopped and thrown, while heads were crushed, sliced and burned.

At that moment the transcendent dragons finally appeared. The transcendent defenders instantly chose a target and started to fight them.

Tom was the first to arrive at his target, he was a large eastern type black dragon. Tom had combined his physical strength with his magic and had finally managed to master wandless and nonverbal magic. He had managed to finally get rid of his usage of wands while keeping his strength and managing to achieve a new level of strength.

If his previous fighting style was to walk slowly and calmly while calculating every spell thrown, then now it was drastically different. He had forsaken the old fighting style when he had been bitten by the progenitor and had decided on a new fighting style that involved lots of quick erratic movements while releasing spells spell and physical blows.

He had also gained a unique ability when he was transformed that had allowed him to copy a certain lifeforms movements. This ability combined with his magic made him reach a new understanding of his prowess. He could only copy two lifeforms at a time and had settled on a fly and a hummingbird for their incredible agility.

After all, while a vampire had the correct speed and reactions, he should be agile enough to use them while using magic in between intervals.

This was the perfect time to incorporate the new style to fight a worthy opponent, also in the king class. Tom was heralded as the most powerful dark wizard as well as the strongest wizard apart from Dumbledore.

The only reason that the elder wizard was stronger was that Tom had a fraction of his strength, if Tom had to rate him, he would say that he was at the Lord class.

No longer a threat in his opinion and after training and learning to utilise his strength in the most efficient manner, he was excited to finally test them out.

He grinned madly as his eyes flashed with a maniacal glint and glowed a light red. Using his fast, agile and precise movements he easily bewildered the dragon who was used to fighting with brute strength. By circling around and jumping over him he could easily find the spot where he could damage the dragon the most.

He settled on the dragon's reverse scale and after bombarding it with his own mutated Cruciatus curse he finally killed it, putting it out of its misery. He had been kept in the office for too long and had longed for a fight, after all, what good was power if you couldn't put it to good use?

The former dark lord searched for a new target before settling on an agile and speedy, small two-metre tall dragon that was targeting Bob. He was currently fighting against another massive dragon, and the smaller dragon was causing him to be especially frustrated.

Bob was glad when Tom swooped in and punched the pest away while releasing a Cruciatus curse on it. While the beast looked small and defenceless it was truly worthy of its title as a king class creature. It had extreme speed reaching at least 14 times the speed of sound and it had relatively tough hide being able to take Bob's attack while only receiving a small wound.

But Tom was a calculating individual and could easily predict where the dragon was going to appear. As the two left Bob alone he could release his restraints morphing to his biggest form, standing at 100 metres tall and 200 metres long with massive serrated wings and a gaping maw appearing on the tip of his tail. Two bone covered tentacles grew from his ribs and many enormous spikes grew out of his spine. That combined with two horns that grew from behind his ears made him appear like some devil from the stories.

After fully morphing into his strongest state he simply grabbed his opponent by the claws and dragged him into the sky where he grew more tentacles with the tips becoming sharp and serrated.

After piercing the dragon, he simply pulled it apart and used his corrosive gasses on the corpse to make sure that it wouldn't return he dove back to the earth while altering his form so that it would be his normal Nundu form.

While the transcendents were fighting the court was also successfully slaughtering the dragon and vampire horde. Kai glanced at the carnage appearing and thought to himself 'there will be a lot of dragon skin to sell.'

All this happened while he was putting himself in his peak form and the two emperors were standing on the wall waiting patiently for the true enemy to appear.

In this chapter we are introduced to the supporting characters a bit more in-depth, in the next chapter I plan to show the original Court's members and if I manage then hopefully the fight between Dahak will finally take place.
