Chapter 78: Trust

Mordred conserved his strength as much as possible against Azi Dahaka's barrage. The evil dragon had a smile on his face as he unleashed an onslaught of magic.

It was like hell on earth, hundreds of spells rained down on Mordred. He even thought that Azi Dahaka was using Zenith Tempest or something.

'This is ridiculous!' Mordred thankfully knows how to use Shukuchi really well. Dodging in a straight line, he looked like he was teleporting.

"Your tricks are interesting." Azi Dahaka casted another forbidden magic in the area. Mordred felt the space around him rend and spots all around him were suddenly connected to the dimensional gap.

He was suddenly boxed in, surrounded by spatial rifts that would tear him apart as Azi Dahaka made the space around him connect to the dimensional gap.

And if he enters them, even while using Shukuchi. It will suck him in violently, and his body can't survive that much damage.

'If I go to one of them, I'll be put into a blender.' Mordred frowned heavily. His mind run a mile a second, looking for any weaknesses to it.

Azi Dahaka started gathering an intense amount of mana and Mordred felt goosebumps on his skin.

Coating his arm with void, Mordred touched one of the spatial rifts a bit and he felt his body pass through it harmlessly. Moving quickly, he turned his whole body to void. Using Shukuchi to run away from the area.

The space around his previous location started to collapse and when it crumpled sufficiently, light bathed Mordred's mindscape as a massive explosion of epic proportions exploded.

Mordred drank in a cold breath, he has never fought someone who has so many tricks. And Azi Dahaka was intent on using them on him.

"You're a slippery one aren't you?" Azi Dahaka snorted and he was getting annoyed. The dragon's limb crackled with lightning as he imbued his soul with a spell.

The three headed dragon showed his immense intellect as he used Mordred's movement technique. It was sloppy, but he shortened the space in front of him and Azi Dahaka arrived right in front of him.

His lightning covered fist was cocked back and the dragon swung his fist toward Mordred. His size was working against him though, so Mordred dodged and he parried Azi Dahaka's fist by imbuing an explosive fire spell on his hands.

An explosion steered Azi Dahaka's arm away and the lightning spell on it was released in droves.

A storm of lightning rained down and it snaked around. Mordred frowned as he saw it coming and he somersaulted in the air.

With a kick, a tempest was released from his foot and it cut through the lightning. Wind blades disrupting the snake-like lightning.

The wind hit Azi Dahaka's chest and a deep wound also appeared on Mordred's chest. He grunted, used to pain. But it annoyed him to no end as Azi Dahaka relentlessly attacked him while he couldn't.

Giving one of his parallel thoughts the responsibility in analyzing Azi Dahaka's magic, Mordred's processing power was decreased by a quarter. But he had no choice, one of his thoughts then started to furiously analyze the black chains on his skin.

"How about we step it up a notch? I'll show you how to use magic to its extremes." Azi dahaka's limbs lit up with different spells.

He started floating in the air and Mordred formed a blade of primordial water on his right, while his offhand controlled strings of it, two pairs of arms also appeared on his side and back.

Ready to intercept any magic that Azi Dahaka will release, it was his most defensive stance.

'I have to drain his magic…' Mordred started forming a plan in his head as Grendel's instincts started to kick in.

He dodged to the right as his instincts dictated. And Azi Dahaka clicked his tongue. There was a magic circle in front of him.

"I've learned some things when Yahweh fought us, Crom Cruach did well in holding him back. So I managed to copy his control over light." Azi Dahaka started forming spears of light.

But unlike the angels and seraphs, it was shapeless, formless. And the most important thing, was it moved at the speed of light.

'That's bad…' Mordred furrowed his brows and he enhanced his senses to the limit. Feeling the fluctuations of magic in the air, Mordred entered a deadly game of interception with Azi Dahaka.

Using the shadows, Mordred snuffed out the light magic that formed nigh instantly. But he noticed one thing, Azi Dahaka's light magic didn't cost as much as Apophis' shadow magic.

Concluding that he would be defeated at this rate, Mordred quickly released a geyser of black water. Controlling it with his parallel thoughts, it snaked around like the Leviathan's sea serpent of the end.

Azi Dahaka didn't expect the sudden aggressiveness from Mordred, thinking that he had the upper hand all the time.

He formed barriers of pure magic around him, but Apophis' primordial water pierced through it easily due to its super corrosive nature.

"Fool!" Azi Dahaka's overconfidence costed him as the tendrils of primordial water trapped him, thinking that Mordred would be overwhelmed by pain due to its properties.

But Mordred changed it to his shadows, swapping it to the less damaging magic that still did some damage to Azi Dahaka. But it wasn't as bad as the primordial water.

Mordred disappeared in place and he wrote in the air with magic at blistering speeds.

A rune went towards Azi Dahaka's chest and the evil dragon felt his mana disperse at a rapid rate. His reserves were a shit ton, but it would still decrease it a lot.

Azi Dahaka flared his mana, a burst of light exploding around him as the shadows melted due to the intensity of luminescence.

"Hmph, if you think that I can't take care of thi-" Azi Dahaka snorted at him, but Mordred suddenly stabbed him on the chest with a blade made of his blood, using hemomancy; another forbidden art.

Azi Dahaka screamed in pain as his soul was assaulted by the dragon slaying aspect of Mordred's blood. He quickly tried to suppress it with his magic. But the immense damage still continued as Yahweh's greatest dragon slaying weapon spread through his body.

Mordred gritted his teeth as he felt pain wreck his body all over. "So this is how a dragon slaying weapon feels?" Mordred gave a toothy grin.

"Y-you fool. You will receive the same amount of damage!" Azi Dahaka started to claw on his chest, the burning pain was so soul searing that he couldn't even feel his claws dig in through his scales.

"Hehe~ Guhahaha! Foolishness, Azi Dahaka!" Mordred coughed up blood as his regeneration and the damage tried to outpace each other.

"You have no idea about the true potential of humans. I stand here in front of you as a human that has conquered Grendel and Apophis. And you will fall like the rest of them!" Mordred charged, swords made of shadows circling around him.

Azi Dahaka gnashed his sharp teeth. Mordred pressed the attack as dozens of swords slashed through his body.

The three headed dragon didn't have a ridiculously strong body like Grendel, and his defenses were handled through his magic. So he was squishier than the other evil dragons.

Numerous slashes appeared on his body, wounds appearing on both of them as Mordred pressed the attack.

Powering through with sheer will, he had to. Or Azi Dahaka would get rid of his rune and the dragon will outlast him with his terrifying amount of mana.

"Y-you! Don't underestimate me human!" Azi Dahaka used Chrono magic, a lost supreme art.

Mordred's swords that were chunking him bit by bit froze in the air. A bubble of time stopping magic froze them.

"Arc of Time!?" Mordred furrowed his brows and due to the pain, his reflexes were slower. A spatial rend hit his arm and he lost an arm.

Mordred didn't let it fly and he teleported in front of Azi Dahaka's face. He roared as blood escaped from his mouth, cleaving one of the dragon's head and putting a gash on the 2nd head before Azi Dahaka could stop time in front of him.

One of the parallel thoughts of Mordred disappeared and he felt a migraine that almost made him black out.

With a roar, Azi Dahaka's two heads fired a breath attack on him and Mordred crashed to the ground. Buried deep into the ground as the mana of the signature attacks mixed and exploded.

Mordred's body was filled with burns and some of his bones started to show as the explosion melted them off.

"Hah, hah, you are grievously wounded! I will take over your body and release a storm of chaos all over the world!" Azi Dahaka grinned as he coughed up blood. The strong poison that is Mordred's blood was making him keel over.

"That's… The problem, Azi Dahaka. You are alone, while I am supported by my kin." Mordred's grin made him think that he still had something up his sleeve.

With a wary expression, Azi Dahaka looked around. But he didn't notice anything around him.

"False bravado, I will enjoy destroying everything that you love." Azi Dahaka grinned as Mordred stood up with shaky steps.

"Hmph, burn like the garbage that you are. Azi Dahaka." Mordred raised his arm and Azi Dahaka felt immense mana converge around them.

"Are you mad!?" Azi Dahaka noticed that Mordred also copied one of his forbidden magic through observation.

"Fortune favors the bold Azi Dahaka, Apocrypha Elesis." The space around Azi Dahaka started to bend and his mana that was dispersed in the air was used to power up the spell.

"Guhahaha! You will die with me! I will reform, while you won't!" Azi Dahaka laughed like a maniac, rationalizing his situation.

But the black chains on his body shattered and Mordred smiled. "Valerie, good job." Mordred could feel the effects of the Sephiroth Graal break through Azi Dahaka's chains of fate. And that was the last thing he saw before everything was consumed in a fiery blaze of light.

Mordred teleported away from the area with his last vestiges of mana, absorbing some from the mana that dispersed from Azi Dahaka. He then felt his consciousness wane as he dropped on the ground while an earth shattering explosion consumed everything over the horizon.

__Land of Shadows__

Scathach's brows were twitching, Mordred with Azi Dahaka's arsenal was a pain in the ass. She had holes all over her body as Mordred's rampaging body used the chains of fate against her.

And her Gae Bolg was countered by the Arc of Time, freezing the spears in time. "Valerie! Any luck on this forbidden spell!?" Scathach hurried the Dhampir.

"I-I'm trying!" Valerie was using Sephiroth Graal in full time to analyze the curse on Scathach. While their master pinned down Mordred on the ground with a shit ton of runes and stabbing his limbs with her spears.

"Well! This is very annoying! I'll double your training if you don't figure it out soon!" Scathach has never encountered an opponent that used forbidden magic like it was a dime a dozen. And she almost got grievously wounded by Apocrypha Elesis.

Forced to use her divine spark, Scathach broke through the spatial tears around her before she was blown to kingdom come.

"I think I got it! And Mordred's soul is being affected by it too!" Valerie quickly used her sacred gear to break the curse. Manipulating their very essence to break off the connection.

Valerie was able to break it as she used up her large mana that could only be described as titanic. Though Azi Dahaka still beat her in that department.

After she broke it, Mordred quickly calmed down. But he was unresponsive. "Oi, Mordred." Scathach smacked him as he wasn't breathing.

"Hey! That isn't funny!" Scathach shook him violently. "Um, master. I think you shouldn't do that." Valerie thought of doing CPR and the other standard procedures to try and make him wake up.

"Shut up you!" Scathach glared at her. Scathach tried smacking him, jolting him awake with electricity. But none was working.

Valerie scrunched up her face, but she pushed Scathach away. "Ey!" With a cute shout, Scathach flew away as she plowed the ground.

Their resident Dhampir then started doing CPR on him. Giving him two breaths to give him oxygen.

"You'll regret that…" Scathach appeared besides her again, but Valerie ignored her for now.

"Hey, Mordred. Wake up! I'll do anything you want!" Scathach seriously started to worry and she was running out of options.

"Here, I'll even act cutely while we have sex! You said that was a dream of yours right?" Scathach was getting desperate.

"Uhh, we dragons have an amazing sense of smell. Do you think he'll bolt upright if he smells you?" Valerie thought of smelling salts.

Scathach took off her ragged body suit and she hugged Mordred tightly, burying his face on her voluptuous chest.

"I heard that babies react to the smell of a mother's milk, maybe we should do that?" Valerie suggested after Mordred was still not reacting.

"Do it." Scathach has lactated before, but she never did breastfeed. Valerie then changed her body with Sephiroth Graal and Scathach felt her breasts get heavier.

Massaging her boob, Scathach started to squeeze her nipple and some milk dropped on Mordred's face.

With tense expressions, the two looked at Mordred carefully. Then, he sniffed the air. Mordred latched on to her nipple and he started sucking.

"He's alright…" Scathach sighed in relief and Valerie put a hand on her chest, starting to calm down.
