Chapter 589 - 589
Boom!
The Lightning Plasma, compressed to the utmost limit of destructive power—a fist of destruction capable of smashing all things in the world back to their most primordial state—slammed hard into the Black Dragon's chest.
Crack!
A crisp sound rang out, and Marco clearly felt that he had shattered something.
The Black Dragon let out a pained roar as his body was blasted backward.
The scales on his chest shattered piece by piece, to the point that flesh was already visible beneath them.
That single punch directly turned the Black Dragon's chest into a bloody mess.
If he had not been so absurdly tanky, that blow might well have punched straight through his body.
Drops of the Black Dragon's blood fell into the sea, producing sizzling sounds, as if they were about to evaporate the seawater itself.
However, the injury healed almost instantly.
That the Black Dragon Acnologia was the strongest Dragon Slayer Mage and the "strongest dragon" was beyond question, but what few people knew was that before becoming a Dragon Slayer Mage—before becoming the "Black Dragon"—he had actually been an extremely powerful healing mage.
Even dragons, who were immune to the vast majority of magic, had once sought him out to treat their wounds.
Dragons were immune even to healing magic, ordinary human healing magic was completely useless on them.
From that alone, one could tell just how powerful Acnologia's healing magic had been.
For damage caused by this sort of non-Dragon Slayer Magic, recovery was simply far too easy for Acnologia.
Still, although the injury had healed, the pain he had just suffered could not be erased.
The Black Dragon could no longer remember how long it had been since he was last struck hard enough to bleed—perhaps three hundred years, four hundred years… or even longer.
The sensation had become almost unfamiliar to him.
And the Black Dragon grew excited!
After all these years, someone had finally managed to injure him.
Finally, someone could truly trade blows with him!
"I was wondering how tough you really were. So you bleed too."
Marco's voice came from the other side.
He casually shook out his fist.
No blood had gotten on the armored gauntlet, but he had seen—and felt—the Black Dragon's chest split open.
A smile appeared on his face.
None of his previous attacks had managed to break through the Black Dragon's defenses, and that really had been unnerving.
After all, when the boss does not even show a health bar and acts like it is invincible, how are you supposed to fight that?
But now that the Black Dragon had bled—even if he had immediately regenerated afterward—the meaning was completely different.
It meant Marco really could hurt him.
"As long as it show a health bar, I'll can kill them even if they're a god."
As he spoke, Marco raised a hand.
The constellations in the sky heard his call and felt his resolve.
Equuleus, Pegasus, Draco, Cygnus… Aries, Leo, Libra, and the others all lit up.
Though it was daytime, the star map in the sky shone with incomparable brilliance.
Even at night, one might not have seen the heavens so bright.
Far and near alike, every constellation Marco had unlocked was flashing, responding to him, pouring a massive amount of magic power into him.
Pure stellar magic cascaded down like a heavenly flood, gathering around Marco's body, then spreading under his control over the twelve golden weapons.
Empowered by that enormous quantity of magic, all twelve golden weapons began to tremble.
Bzzzzz!!!
With a single thought from Marco, driven by that terrifying stellar magic, the twelve golden weapons turned into twelve streaks of golden meteors and shot toward the Black Dragon Acnologia.
Boundless stellar magic fused into the twelve golden weapons, pushing their power as far as possible.
Although Marco still could not truly draw out their full might, the force they displayed was already enough to make anyone gasp in amazement.
"Useless."
Faced with the spectacular charge of the twelve golden weapons, the Black Dragon showed little emotional reaction.
Attacks launched through magic were far less threatening than that strange power Marco had used before.
Of course, the Black Dragon was not actually going to ignore them completely.
He had, in fact, braced himself seriously.
Marco's style of attack was pure brute force, and even for an existence like the Black Dragon, whose magic resistance was maxed out, it was a bit hard to take.
If those twelve annoying golden weapons really struck him, he would not come away feeling good.
Haa…
Marco let out a long breath.
His magic was beginning to run dry, he could even feel the circulation of the magic source inside his body growing sluggish.
For Marco, that was absolutely a fresh experience.
Ever since unlocking many Cloths and linking himself to a large number of constellations, no one had ever pushed him this far.
Without Cosmo, Marco could almost be said to have temporarily lost his fighting ability already.
The recovery and replenishment of his magic could no longer keep up with how recklessly he was burning through it.
Using magic alone to control those twelve golden weapons was still too much of a strain.
Inhale!
Marco took a deep breath, and his eyes turned resolute.
He had never expected to defeat the Black Dragon with this move alone.
The fundamental purpose of going to such lengths was to restrain him. His real killing move still had to rely on Cosmo.
By now, it was already obvious which dealt greater damage—Cosmo or magic.
Boom!!!
A golden longsword thrust out at blinding speed, only to be knocked away by the Black Dragon.
The terrifying magical explosion and shock force sent the Black Dragon flipping in midair, blasting several scales off his claws.
Roar!
The Black Dragon roared in fury.
His claws hurt badly, and he felt deeply stifled inside, but before he could vent it, a shield was already spinning into the back of his head.
Duang!
With a dull impact, the Black Dragon was struck so hard that he became dizzy, his body pitching downward.
Naturally, the other golden weapons did not let such a good chance pass.
Swords, spears, tonfa, nunchaku, three-section staffs, and round shields came flying in from all directions, slamming into the Black Dragon's body.
Boom boom boom!!!
The Black Dragon, falling toward the ground, was instantly engulfed by terrifying magical explosions.
Stellar magic detonated into a gigantic sphere of light in the sky.
The dreadful magical shockwave churned the sea without end and left everyone fleeing across Tenrou Island staring in utter shock.
