Epic of Vampire Dragon: Reborn as a Vampire Dragon with a System Chapter 420

Rot looked into the distance; she was the closest to Belphegor after Natalia. She saw what happened, the power of Brutus was overwhelming, even for her underdeveloped mind, she was able to easily tell the tremendous power he had now in this strange, red-skinned form. She felt the dreadful aura of death rushing through everywhere around her… As a Dragon of Death, she was able to see things other could not, the shadow of death, the aura of death, or many other names was a way for her to see the possibilities of dying increasing in a certain area, or a certain person.

Even Undead could die. Being Undead simply meant a different way of being alive, one where they relied in their souls and whose physical bodies were devoid of life energy, but technically, they could die if their souls were damaged or weakened enough. Rot was able to see the strong shadow of death around Belphegor as he fell, his skull shattered into pieces and his soul sliced in half… his energy was leaking out of his soul, it wouldn't be long before his entire soul dissipated into nothingness. However, Natalia was following him as he fell, Rot decided to trust Natalia, an ally that was someone reliable despite her silent nature sometimes.

She looked around her as she flew in midair, finding the dreadful shadow of death surrounding most of her allies, some were stronger than others, but the power red aura emanating from Brutus in his new form alongside the auras of Lucia and Ernesticia, who added into this aura of red color, which converged into the shadow of death encompassing everybody, including her.

But as a Death Dragon, she was able to do the unthinkable after having attained the power of cosmic energy… She closed her eyes and then unleashed the power of cosmic energy, fusing it with her divinity of death, and then targeting the shadow of death itself, the probabilities of death themselves!

FLASH!

She opened her mouth and began to inhale this shadow of death, which was like black fog, it began to slowly enter her mouth as she devoured it, the probabilities of everybody dying suddenly began to go down strangely… this was the power she had awakened which she had yet to tell anybody because not even she knew how to even explain it, she lacked the language to even speak and convey the words correctly, so she had left such a power to herself. However, because she doubted about using it before what happened to Belphegor ended happening, and because she didn't wanted everybody to bite the dust, she tried to reduce the chances.

This power meant more than she imagined, this power had… the ability to manipulate casualty itself. Death, after all, it is related with the end of a living being, which is also related with the future, the end of journey, their fate or destiny… death embraced everybody. Someone capable of absorbing the shadow of death and reducing death possibilities in a target was something that manipulated casualty itself.

However, Rust knew very well this wasn't everything, there was something else to this, something else indeed! She couldn't just do this alone, she had to fight as well. She looked at Brutus and then at her allies behind, and decided to charge in front and attack from a distance first. She remembered Ernesticia, in fact, she got bad memories with this girl, she had managed to defeat her very easily using her black holes, and the little woman probably remembered her… Although Rot know had the power of Cosmic Energy with her, it didn't exactly meant that she had a guaranteed victory.

"GROOARRR!"

However, she didn't cared about that either, recklessly attacking from a safe distance! Her Divine Aura suddenly shaped as several dragon jaws, opening with her own jaws and unleashing beams of death and darkness towards Brutus, Ernesticia, and Lucia!

"W-What the…?! This dragon is trying something funny out of nowhere, what does she wants to do?!" Asked Lucia in shock.

"These are dragon breath attacks with death and decay element…!" Muttered Brutus.

"Ah…! I remember her…!" Said Ernesticia, as she suddenly waved her staff, space itself distorted and suddenly, they were all encompassed in a bubble made of space magic, where Ernesticia protected everybody inside.

BOOOOOOMMM!!!

The powerful breath attack encompassed the entire spatial bubble, clashing through it and spreading around like a deadly black smoke, however, it was no use as the power of Ernesticia over space was amazing, she could easily block most common attacks unless the attacker had enough raw power to shatter space itself like Chaos has… But Rot… would she have the same level of power?

"As I thought, it is really you, little death dragon! Long time no see… Are you here for me to slice you in half again? No dragon would had been able to survive that unless they were half-undead I guess…" Said Ernesticia.

"So you fought her before?" Asked Brutus. "I see, I guess I kind of remember her now… Hmph, we should take her down immediately, she seems to have grown stronger and she continues unleashing her attacks at us…"

"Ernesticia, move the bubble around and let's cut her into pieces already!" Said Lucia. She took out her two purple knives, ready to slash Rot into pieces with them!

"Okay, let me- Ungh?!" Ernesticia was about to move her bubble of space, but the disturbance in space caused by Abyss clone left behind suddenly made it incredibly slow and hard for her! even moving a mere centimeter cost a lot of Mana! "W-What the…? I can't move it! That damn space manipulator… That Shoggoth thing, she's not letting me freely move across space…"

"What did you said?!" Asked Lucia. "Then how do we fight this thing constantly pouring death breath into our faces? Won't it make our flesh decay?"

"I will go then…!" Said Brutus, coating himself in his aura, which resembled a coat of flames!

FLUOOSH!
