Chapter 65 – Part 2

The spiritual water that had just enveloped the four princes, was created from nothing and appeared in an instant moment. There was enough water to sink a whole continent. Then the water was shaped into thin, sharp pieces, and further rotated in a fierce spiral.

The power behind this spiral comes from the action of rotating itself. With each rotation of the spiral, spiritual power is produced. Ryoukichi’s strength increases with every added rotation of the water.

She released over a thousand water spears toward Neltona, each and every one of them holding enough destructive power to pierce the crust and mantle of the earth, and make it out the other side too.

Flashing in red and black and purple, the power of the ocean demon god swirled around Neltona. But in a single second, the thousand spears rushed in like a flood to interrupt the vortex of Neltona’s power. The water attack was so dense, it continued to mask the ocean demon lord’s big frame, as the spears were thrown one after another relentlessly.

Ryoukichi continued to launch the spiritual water spears without letting up at all, but Neltona didn’t waver either. After ten seconds of being continuously bombarded by the spears, which broke apart into smoke, and turned into a pitch black tornado.

Neltona had created a tornado as deep as the sea, and as tall as the heavens.

Floating with the power of her spiritual energy, Ryoukichi’s large form was shaken by the force of the wind blowing from the tornado. Neltona’s large figure from within could be seen inside, and then the tornado burst open, revealing a form that was a hundred times bigger than before.

The dispersed tornado turned into a downpour of rain, flooding down onto Ryoukichi. Just by touching the barrier of spiritual energy that she constantly had her scales covered with, the rain evaporated with a sizzling noise into steam.

The rain was filled with curses that could kill millions of lives with just one drop, but Ryoukichi, who can purify and neutralize such rain without even having to use any special techniques, was unusually powerful.

「Hahahahahaha!! How extraordinary it would be, to offer up your head, heart, and womb to our god. You are a true descendant of the dragon species, the Dragon Emperor herself!!」

Neltona had absorbed the power of the ocean demon god, and his flesh had swollen to the point of almost bursting. It started by wandering shakily, before becoming intertwined and crossing over into a complicated and overflowing gold pattern.

It was the symbol of the ocean demon god’s blessing and protection, which granted both offensive and defensive powers.

The flesh of his forehead split open for new eyeballs to peek out, spilling some blue blood with it. Now with five eyes, Neltona laughed loudly as he ogled Ryoukichi lecherously.

His gaze didn’t leave out even a single spot of her body, humiliating her and causing her great discomfort. She held Neltona as her sworn enemy, the one who must pay for killing her husband and many others among her people, and so she challenged him with a roar in the dragon magic language.

Neltona, using the power given to him by the ocean demon god, bared his fangs and further worsened the toxicity of the miasma in the air, in order to try to weaken Ryoukichi.

Even though Ryoukichi was exalted as one of the strongest among the many generations of Water Dragon Emperors, just by being in this place, a great exhaustion is imposed upon her. She was at too much of a disadvantage here.

「I’ll crush you, Ocean Demon Lord!」

「The one who’ll be crushed here is you, Water Dragon Emperor. When the dawn of our god arrives, you will be buried, and the souls of the other Imperial Dragon Emperors and all the other creatures on the earth will sink into our sea, and it will all be devoured!」

The fighting spirits of both sides reached their peak and exploded, and the battle between the Water Dragon Emperor and the Ocean Demon Lord started again.

Both Ryoukichi and Neltona were named as some of the strongest on the earth, and neither of them would have a shortage of strength.

Without giving any consideration to the fragility of the planet, the two fought with all their strength. This all-out fight couldn’t have been done on earth, but because this was an evil space created by the ocean demon god, this kind of fight was allowed.

Reaching out toward the endless skies crammed full with clouds, Neltona brought down a waterfall of rain that was ten thousand times more poisonous than the seawater. But Ryoukichi opposed the attack with a purifying storm that blew away the clouds at the source of the waterfall.

Since that didn’t work, Neltona then reached down into the depths of the sea below, turning the already rough waves even more violent, and attacked Ryoukichi with tsunami after tsunami, as if each one were a giant sword.

Just one of the water blades had the size, sharpness, and speed to cut open even a whole continent.

With just a single glare at the water blades heading toward her from above, as soon as the waves of water blades touched the barriers covering her scales, she channeled electricity throughout her whole body to send out violent lightning into every direction, which canceled out every single water blade.

The attacks being launched from both sides were easily strong enough to wipe out an entire planet; such was the battle between the two known as the Water Dragon Emperor and the Ocean Demon Lord.

If this battle wasn’t taking place in this subspace dimension, then it surely would destroy not only Dran’s planet, but the whole star system too.

Spiritual power and magical energies clashed, breaking through each other’s defenses and piercing through scales, cutting through flesh and drawing blood. The fight continued, each of them regenerating and destroying over and over, tirelessly sending counterattacks back and forth.

The moment one of them loses the perfect balance between regeneration and attacking, that would be the moment the tides of the battle would turn.

This was a fight where Neltona had the overwhelming advantage of being on his home turf, and there had also been the fight with the ocean demon princes earlier too, so the fatigued Ryoukichi was slowly being pushed onto the defensive, until wounds that she couldn’t regenerate anymore began to show.

「Hahahahahaha, what’s wrong, your wounds are increasing, you know? You’re truly exquisite when your blue scales are soaked in blood. But what’s even more beautiful is your face, warped in fear of death! Bwahahahaha!!!」

Of the surge of water spears that Neltona was launching, one had stabbed into the joint of Ryoukichi’s front left leg, and many others had pierced through her scales, gouging out pieces of flesh and cutting open her stomach.

A large amount of blood was spurting out of the huge horizontal cut across her abdomen. Ryoukichi began to shake and sway in the air, until finally she probably lost the strength to keep herself airborne, and she plunged straight into the ocean head first.

While being tainted by the curse-filled water seeping into every part of her, there existed rage within Ryoukichi’s heart.

There was rage from having her beloved husband taken away.

There was rage towards herself, for being unable to protect the ones she loved.

There was rage for when the young Liu Yu would ask, 「Why don’t I have a father?」And she could do nothing except tell her:

「Your father is dead」

Ever since asking that question long ago, Liu Yu had stopped saying thoughtless or self-indulgent things. She began to listen carefully to what everyone told her, and stopped putting herself before others.

This was rage toward herself for making her beloved daughter have to act that way.

For the title of Water Dragon Emperor and for all the extremely high status given to her, she was nothing more than a foolish mother who couldn’t even defend her own child’s heart from becoming scarred.

How powerless, how foolish a woman she was!

「That’s why, if I don’t strike you down, then I won’t be able to show my face to Liu Yu again!!」

「There’s still strength left in your eyes. Accept your death. Submit to the honor of giving yourself up to our god, Water Dragon Emperor」

Ryoukichi mumbled something towards Neltona, who was convinced of his certain victory. It did not reach Neltona’s ears, but this is what she said:

You fool.

Neltona realized this himself, when Ryoukichi finished mumbling, and at the same time, had laughed, gloating at the fact that she had prepared a way to pull the rug right out from underneath him.

Ryoukichi’s spilled blood formed into a circle around Neltona and trapped him in a vortex. In the blink of an eye, the cursed seawater was purified, and the entire place was flooded with the Water Dragon Emperor’s spiritual power.
