Chapter 131: Disaster Dragon: Battle Within Memory
"When Yin and Yang are reversed and in chaos."
"When demonic blood stains the azure sky!"
The polluted magic power flowed through his entire body. The beeping sirens, the gunshots, and the cries all transformed into the roars of Disaster Beasts.
Jiang Si raised his head and touched his own forehead.
The embedded Grief Seed was fine, and he had successfully transformed.
The world that had been on the verge of becoming reality had completely vanished.
The surrounding vehicles were, as expected, a horde of Disaster Beasts—buzzing insect swarms and the tree roots and vines on the ground.
Although it was a bit strange that the surrounding environment was Beihai.
Why was Beihai inside the Heart Image Remnant?
But since there were no people, this empty Beihai was probably created by some other method anyway.There wasn't much to think about.
After transforming into the calamity dragon, that power that could drag him into the world of memories could finally no longer affect him.
However, it was a bit odd. Could this illusion power make him fall for it continuously even if he wasn't actually deceived?
And each time was harder to break free from?
In terms of illusions alone, it was truly top-tier.
The power of a Full Bloom Magical Girl... if only it could be used by him...
After pausing briefly, the remaining Disaster Beasts began charging towards him again.
Looking at the surrounding horde of Disaster Beasts and the dense swarm of insect-type Disaster Beasts, Jiang Si flapped his wings once.
A surge of polluted magic power spread out, violently blasting away all the attacks from the Disaster Beasts!
Feeling the mana coursing through his entire body after so long, he took a deep breath.
He could even sense the damage his body had sustained before the transformation.
His right hand, both legs, and the liver and lungs inside his stomach were almost completely gone. Even his stomach was being continuously repaired by the polluted magic power.
He swung his wings, and the polluted magic power began rippling across his body.
A massive gale also spread outwards from him as the center!
But the power wasn't very great; only some of the smaller-sized Disaster Beasts were blown away.
The swarms of insect Disaster Beasts were blown into the distance, but once they left the city's outskirts, they rapidly disintegrated.
However, that was ultimately just a simple mana release. The remaining Class C and Class B Disaster Beasts were completely unaffected.
Instead, the gale provoked the anger of these high-level Disaster Beasts. Their roars continued endlessly, and they all charged towards the calamity dragon together!
Immediately, the calamity dragon flapped its wings again!
A second ring of polluted magic power rippled out.
Street lamps instantly exploded. All the glass in the surrounding buildings shattered simultaneously with a crashing sound, falling to the ground like rain.
Many Disaster Beasts clinging to the walls were shaken off by this mana, thudding to the ground, crushing street lamps and the pavement. A massive amount of glass rained down, continuously smashing onto the Disaster Beasts.
Then, that lizard Disaster Beast that had originally been clinging to the building crawled up and roared as it charged out from the horde!
A vast amount of mana rippled like a tide. Low-level magical beasts were directly blasted away. Only this Class B lizard Disaster Beast, with its skin covered in fleshy bumps, continuously absorbed and broke through the incoming polluted magic power.
It leaped up, aiming to bite the calamity dragon!
The dragon tail lightly flicked. The lizard Disaster Beast's head flew off, smashing into the roadside. As the remaining body continued charging forward on instinct,
the calamity dragon flapped its wings again, this time taking flight.
The lizard Disaster Beast plunged headfirst into the ground, twitching. Before long, it disappeared completely.
There was no Grief Seed, but corrupted magic power was clearly dispersing.
After taking off and landing again, the calamity dragon turned and stomped on the ground. The massive dragon claw instantly collapsed the surrounding pavement!
As numerous Disaster Beasts were sent flying into the air, the dragon tail swept. Those Disaster Beasts crackled and popped, exploding mid-air.
A massive amount of polluted magic power splashed onto the buildings and streets, quickly staining this entire area of Beihai pitch black.
Yet the remaining Disaster Beasts still converged from all directions, seemingly endless.
These Disaster Beasts were all Class B and Class C, their power not low. They all roared as they charged towards the calamity dragon!
The smaller Disaster Beasts were the first to crash into the calamity dragon's body. Dense, tiny insects covered the calamity dragon's entire form.
Many more silk nets shot from all directions, entangling the calamity dragon's body, tightly restraining its movements.
The remaining Disaster Beasts frantically spewed mana at the calamity dragon, charging and roaring hoarsely. For a moment, the scene seemed as if they were about to completely suppress the calamity dragon!
Until a low growl sounded.
Sparkling electric sparks began to glow around the calamity dragon's body, crackling and popping. The silk nets rapidly broke under the current.
The insect-type Disaster Beasts on its body also quickly turned to charcoal, drifting off and falling away.
Feeling the surging power throughout his body, the calamity dragon slightly raised its head, looking at Beihai's clear, cloudless sky.
It threw its head back and let out a dragon's roar!
A massive amount of polluted magic power instantly surged towards the sky, staining the entire sky pitch black!
Dense mana gathered in the sky, with lightning flashes streaking through. Mana so concentrated it turned into rain continuously fell from the sky.
The many Disaster Beasts that had been roaring at the calamity dragon actually began to feel fear now.
They all stopped their fearless charge, looking up at the black dragon in the sky.
Some Disaster Beasts even couldn't help but tremble, slowly prostrating themselves.
As if showing submission, they lay on the ground, motionless.
The entire Beihai city, despite having many Disaster Beasts, fell into a deathly silence.
The black dragon opened its maw. Pitch-black mana gathered in its mouth.
Then it spewed downwards!
The street was instantly flattened. The Disaster Beasts lying below directly disintegrated, not even letting out a single scream.
The energy beam tore through the earth, continuously moving. The surrounding electric lights and power poles were instantly melted through, crashing to the ground. After the building foundations were blasted away by the mana breath, they tilted precariously, beginning to collapse!
Booming, rumbling sounds continuously echoed throughout Beihai. The school was the first to be flattened by the mana breath. Then the mana beam turned, submerging the Disaster Beasts surging from the other side.
Endless mana was wantonly vented and spewed, almost plowing through the entire Beihai once.
Only when the entire Beihai had fallen into a sea of flames, transformed into ruins, did the calamity dragon finally stop its destruction.
It simply threw its head back towards the sky and let out a tremendous, long roar!
Extremely refreshing!
Although losing power wouldn't damage his Dao Heart, not having power itself was truly extremely irritating.
Using that weak, pitiful body all the time was simply like making a veteran race car driver ride a baby stroller on a free New Year's toll-free highway.
Anyone who wouldn't get furious was a saint.
He suddenly saw the corpse fragments of those Disaster Beasts move.
That corrupted magic power fused, condensed, and actually began reshaping itself.
Jiang Si turned his head to look, watching as those mana remnants ultimately converged into... the form of a calamity dragon.
An identical appearance.
The two calamity dragons stared at each other. In the next second, they simultaneously vanished from their spots.
The massive shockwave from their dragon tails colliding stirred up another cloud of dust from the Beihai ruins. Dragon claws frantically tore at each other, scales and armor splattering and flying from both sides.
Immediately after, the replica calamity dragon, enduring the severe wound of its chest being pierced by a tail, used its dragon claw to press down on Jiang Si's head, brutally smashing it into the building behind them that hadn't completely collapsed yet!
Dragging his head, it ground it against the building ruins, trying to drag him all the way up into the sky.
The entire dragon claw suddenly flew off.
The dragon tail Jiang Si withdrew from the other's chest instantly severed its right claw. The replica calamity dragon turned and also swung its dragon tail.
The dragon tail was also strengthened like a blade, instantly drawing a spray of pitch-black blood from Jiang Si's chest.
Grabbing the dragon tail, Jiang Si flung it into the ground. As he stepped down, the replica calamity dragon had already flown behind him.
The same speed as himself...
When the other also tried to grab the dragon tail, it didn't expect Jiang Si's dragon tail to nimbly twist, suddenly sliding past the replica calamity dragon's dragon claw, thus disarming both of the calamity dragon's front claws.
It replicated all abilities. Not only that, it completely simulated combat style and mana usage techniques.
But the flaw was also here. However he fought, the other would learn and fight back with the same moves.
Interesting.
It reminded Jiang Si of the Mirror World's rebound.
It was almost a technology extended from the concept of mirrors as well.
Could those high-tech things from the Mirror World actually be the ability of a certain Magical Girl?
While still pondering the reason in his heart, the replica calamity dragon rapidly flapped its wings, putting distance between them.
Then, imitating him, it roared loudly and opened its dragon maw.
Lightning and pitch-black mana rapidly gathered in its mouth, forming a terrifying power that it brazenly spewed towards Jiang Si!
Jiang Si also rapidly flapped his dragon wings, beginning to dodge.
The replica's dragon breath power wasn't weak, and its speed was fast. Chasing Jiang Si, it drew several dazzling trails in the air, almost tearing apart the pitch-black mana covering the sky.
Even though Jiang Si's movement was agile enough and his speed wasn't slow, it ultimately couldn't compare to a breath attack that could catch up with just a turn of the head.
Finally, when he was high above, the calamity dragon replica's breath finally blasted onto him!
Yet Jiang Si wasn't knocked down. He single-handedly blocked the continuously spewing dragon breath with his dragon claw, though his body kept descending.
The replica calamity dragon immediately increased its intensity, concentrating all its polluted magic power into the breath!
Mana continuously overflowed from the dragon claw, even pushing it aside, directly grazing past his head!
The right dragon horn was almost knocked off by this breath. Half his face was exposed, blood flowing, his pupils also stained somewhat crimson.
But there was no pain or anger in Jiang Si's pupils.
Only exhilaration!
Then arose a ferocity several times stronger than that of the Disaster Beasts!
Both claws pressed against the breath again. Just like that, he pushed against the breath and smashed like a meteor towards the replica calamity dragon in mid-air!
When the replica calamity dragon crashed onto the ground with a boom, the massive shockwave directly destroyed the surrounding ruined buildings. Stones, dust, and glass flew everywhere. The replica calamity dragon struggled, trying to fly up from the ground, but was clearly a step too slow.
The meteor from the sky plummeted down, smashing onto it!
The replica calamity dragon let out a shrill, miserable scream. When it looked up, the original calamity dragon, whose dragon scales were even beginning to fall off, now stood on top of it. Its half-dragon, half-human pupils stared at it.
That overflowing, violent aura even made the replica calamity dragon tremble.
"Breath isn't used like this."
Jiang Si reached out and grabbed the dragon head. His left hand held the upper jaw, his right hand pressed the lower jaw.
He forcibly pried its maw open.
"Let me teach you."
The scales on the dragon claws were continuously falling off, revealing the hands of a young man. Slender arms, yet possessing infinite strength, stubbornly propping the maw open, preventing it from closing!
Then, a colossal amount of mana erupted from within his body. The calamity dragon's dorsal armor glowed with boundless blue light due to the violent power. Amidst the interweaving light and shadow, it vaguely seemed as if a dragon-shaped sacred statue was coiled within the blue rain curtain behind him.
Jiang Si opened his dragon maw. Pitch-black mana and lightning gathered in his mouth. The rain curtain seemed to be instantly severed as if swallowed by a larger dragon maw.
Then, aiming at the maw he had pried open, he bent down and, from an extremely close distance, spewed the polluted magic power inside!
Terrifying mana blasted the ground downwards again, causing it to collapse!
Mana mixed with lightning poured into the replica calamity dragon's mouth, but it didn't pierce through its head. Instead, it continuously made the replica calamity dragon's body expand, expand.
A massive mushroom cloud rose over Beihai.
Immediately, the entire Beihai sank slightly.
He could even feel the sound of something like a mirror shattering.
Jiang Si jumped out from the enormous crater, watching the gradually disappearing replica calamity dragon, continuously absorbing the surrounding scattered polluted magic power.
Jiang Si had no intention of ending his transformation.
Moreover, he also didn't know if more Disaster Beasts would appear.
Just as Jiang Si adjusted his state to optimal, the sound of glass shattering around him grew clearer and clearer.
When the final glass shattering sound rang out,
Jiang Si clearly felt his surrounding vision begin to crack. Then, space fell away piece by piece like glass.
Yet he stood in the center, completely unaffected.
When everything returned to calm, he discovered that the surrounding city, which had turned into ruins,
had returned to the ordinary Beihai.
Skyscrapers, streets, and the school—all these buildings that had been completely destroyed under his breath—were all restored.
He walked around on the road, confirming these places weren't illusions.
And there was no trace of Disaster Beast aura around anymore.
"You... you're actually still alive?"
Hearing the astonished voice, Jiang Si turned his head to look. An Shiyu was staring at him with an incredulous expression.
"The Mirror Beasts there should have been enough to kill a Blooming Magical Girl... No, before that, how did you get out from the memory world that was almost becoming reality? And what is this form of yours..."
He casually flicked his tail at her. The attack just passed right through.
As expected, not a physical entity.
"Wow, what are you doing? I'm not an enemy!"
Jiang Si swung his dragon tail, watching the other party warily. "Who are you? Was the illusion just now related to you?"
"I don't know what you're talking about. This should be our first meeting."
An Shiyu covered her forehead. "How can this be? Clearly, in her memories, you were acquaintances..."
"What do you want?"
"Of course, because your situation is strange, I came to check on you."
An Shiyu stuck out her tongue. "I'm concerned about you!"
"You're not a girl that exists in reality either, are you?"
"Ah?" An Shiyu was stunned. "How did you figure that out this time?"
The calamity dragon's voice was low. "Girls in reality don't stick out their tongues."
"... I just like sticking out my tongue, what about it?"
An Shiyu said, then kept sticking out her tongue. "I stick, I stick, bleh bleh bleh..."
Jiang Si fell into slight contemplation.
"Logically speaking, you should have passed the test. But there are too many illogical aspects."
"Not only did you enter the world within memories twice, you also emerged completely unscathed. Truly unprecedented. Why can your memories affect the Heart Image Remnant space?"
Jiang Si looked at her coldly. "I'm the one who wants to ask you."
