Chapter 303 The Great War (13): Emergence Of The Two Half-Dragons

A few minutes earlier, when Don Wukong and Gargus were fighting, at the center of the arena, Shin's and Devis' fight was going on.

Shin smirked as he looked at Devis when both of them were staring at each other, waiting for the opponent to attack or show any movements first.

Shin smirked, trying to mock Devis to force him to attack first. He did not want to drag the battle any longer and wanted to end it soon.

His stats were almost equivalent to Devis right now or to be precise, slightly greater than Devis just because of the doubling of the entire stats!

Shin was in his Wolf Emperor form right now, concentrating only on Devis.

"You all are just foolish to think that you could defeat us.", Devis said without any emotions in his tone.

"…"

,m Shin didn't react. Rather, he just covered his already covered body with layers of flames.

The flames covering Shin's body started going wild, another layer of flame covering his body.

Similarly, a layer of darkness covered the Devis.

Both were finally ready. They waited for a few seconds before which both of them ran simultaneously at each other, headbutting themselves and causing a huge impact.

For the onlookers, it looked as if they disappeared right after which, a blast occurred.

Soon Shin and Devis could be seen again but just like the last time, they disappeared within a few seconds. They were visible only momentarily.

This time not one but multiple blasts occurred due to which the whole arena trembled.

The audience, who sat in their seats, almost fell down. It was as if earthquakes were occurring one after the other.

Well, the tremor was not only because of Shin's and Devis' attack but also due to Don Wukong's attack, but oh well, it was the end result that made everyone tremble in fear.

*Boom* *Boom*

Blasts could be seen and thundering sounds could be heard. Both of them were on par with each other.

With Shin's mana which seemed to be never-ending Lou Shin clan was having an upper hand because of his necromancy.

However, without defeating Devis, it would be impossible for Lou Shin Clan to have a complete victory.

Shin grit his teeth, seeking an opening to strike, however, Devis was strong.

He was countering every attack that Shin launched.

If he launched a fireball, Devis would attack with a lightning sphere.

If he used Aero Slash, Devis would use Dark Slash.

Their attacks would cancel out each other by leaving an explosion behind.

Shin wanted to ask the system about ways to defeat Devis when all of a sudden, a notification popped up.

*Ding*

[The individual named Gargus is dead.]

The system notified Shin of Gargus' death.

"Huh…?"

'What?'

'How!?'

'Who!?'

'Who killed him!?', he ended up asking a series of questions.

Shin was surprised when he saw this notification as he knew not how he died or who killed since he was busy with his own battle that was commencing.

"…"

*Ding*

[The individual named Don Wukong killed the Wind Wolf Emperor Gargus.]

'Don Wukong…?', Shin was surprised.

'How…?'

[The battle has been recorded and the host may view it later.]

"…"

"Alright…"

"…"

Shin was happy that at least one of the wolf brothers was dead. He even smiled, but when he saw Devis' angry expression, who too had realized that Gargus was dead, chills ran down his spine.

He knew that if he didn't use all of his strength, he would lose, and losing against Devis would mean all his clan members would end up either becoming his slaves or might just get slaughtered.

'System, how do I win against Devis? My Flame Wolf Emperor form, which is the strongest form is only able to equalize our positions…', Shin asked the system.

But he paused mid-way, realizing something.

He had forgotten about his half-dragon form.

Just as he recalled it, the system too answered Shin's question.

[The system suggests the host to transform into a half-dragon.]

[The chances of winning against the individual Devis will be increased by 15%.]

Shin smirked, thinking about using his trump card which he had been saving all this time, but before he could actually transform, he heard Devis speaking.

"Gargus is dead…"

"Many other wolves are dead as well…"

"…"

"This is taking us nowhere…", Devis said in a deep tone.

"Huh?", Shin was surprised when he heard Devis.

He raised his gazes, staring at Devis when all of a sudden, a warning notice popped up on the screen.

*Ding*

[Warning!]

[If the host doesn't transform into a Half-Dragon, the chances of the host dying is 95%.]

"…"

'Heh?', Shin was utterly confused with this new notification, completely unaware of why the system showed this right now.

'What do you-'

Shin wanted to ask what the system tried to tell, but he failed to finish his question. Despite not asking, he got his answer - not from the system, but from Devis directly.

*Aooooooo*

Devis howled at the top of his voice, surprising everyone present in the arena.

Don Wukong, who had just finished killing Gargus, turned towards the source of the howl.

The wolves that were fighting each other suddenly stopped. The entire audience, who had been observing Shin and Devis' battles, had their eyes widened and jaws dropped.

That was because just like Shin, Devis too had a card up his sleeve.

After Devis howled, he started to glow with a bright golden light.

Majestic golden scales covered his body.

His jet black eyes turned into shining golden eyes.

Standing on his four legs, Devis turned into a half-dragon.

Yes, just like Shin, Devis too had a Half-Dragon form which he just transformed into.

With the addition of lightning and dark attributes, his half-dragon form just took his strength to a whole another level.

In the entire arena, there was hardly anyone that wasn't surprised after seeing Devis transform.

Heck, even Shin and the celestials were bewildered after seeing the half-dragon form.

"He is a dragon…?", Lurion, Freris, and Aaron asked in shock while looking from a far away place while their own battles were going on.

Among the wolf brothers, only Kira was the one who knew about Devis' half-dragon form.

In fact, Kira was the only one who was able to force Devis to use his half-dragon form while sparring.

If not for the half-dragon form, Kira would have been the strongest. He lost to Devis just because of this form which boosted his strength, increased his defenses, and decreased others' confidence.

"It's time to finish our battle…", Devis said boldly, thinking that he had already won just by showing this form.

Aaron, Freris, and Lurion thought that they had won after hearing Devis say that in his transformed state.

Argant, Terran, and Raka - these three were the only other strong creatures at Lv.100s having scales just like Devis.

They were aware of how much of a difference it made by just having one's body covered with scales.

The Grigard King, Alligator King, and other reptiles with scales realized the same. The residents of the swamps actually trembled at the sight of Devis' form.

They weren't aware that it was a half-dragon form, they just thought it to be a dragon form, hence, worrying about Shin.

Although Flame Wolf Emperor form was great providing the effect of immortality, it wasn't invincible.

Here, immortality meant that as long as even an ember was left in the world, Shin wouldn't die.

He would just get transferred to that place and take his original shape yet again.

But there was a flaw to this, the title flame wolf emperor would be reduced to flame wolf general. However, if his life could be saved, then this small sacrifice was nothing.

Shin knew this from the start and was hence confident. However, he didn't want to escape.

He wanted to win the war.

And after seeing Devis transform into something that he thought only he had, he couldn't help but laugh.

Shin laughed bitterly as he took upon the system's advice and transformed into his half-dragon form. He wanted to keep some of his cards hidden but currently, if he tried this then it might cost him his life.

White scales appeared on his body.

His claws grew longer and became sturdier. His tail grew longer and thicker, with armor-like scales covering his entire body including his head.

"Wha-"

And yet again, everyone was surprised by what they saw.

Shin also had a dragon form!

The smirk on Freris, Aaron, and Lurion's faces vanished into darkness as fear, confusion and a sense of inferiority struck them.

"Master Shin!"

"Your Highness!"

"Master…"

Various clanmates looked at Shin with their widened eyes.

Everyone saw him in a different light now, the celestials who were already on the ground earlier due to the clash of auras couldn't help but stand up all of a sudden and run towards the screen in front of them out of shock.

Shin opened his eyes slowly after the transformation was complete.

Just a simple gaze of his emerald green eyes was more than enough to send chills down anyone's spine.

"What was that again…?"

"Yea…"

"It's time to finish our battle.", Shin said with a deep voice, reducing Devis' confidence by half by sticking his own dialogue on his face.

"…"
