Dark Dragon: The Summoned Hero Is A Villain

Chapter 238: We’re Going Big

The Alpha inhaled deeply, its ribcage glowing brighter than ever before.Then, with a thunderous exhale, it unleashed a wave of fire in all directions.

Noah threw up a shield of darkness, the impact hitting him like a hammer.

The world turned into a cacophony of heat and noise, his armor creaking as the flames washed over him.

When the blast faded, his breath came ragged, and the walls around them glowed red from the heat.

Cecilia reappeared beside him, singed but alive, her breathing steady. "You all right?"

"I’ll live," he muttered. His armor was cracked in places, smoke rising from his shoulders. "This thing’s ridiculous."hat smashed through one of Cecilia’s fiery constructs.

She vanished in a burst of light, reappearing to the side, both hands outstretched.

A swirling sphere of fire formed between her palms, the construct dense, and spinning faster by the second.

Solar Core!

The sphere detonated, a beam of blinding flame lancing downward, striking the Alpha square in the chest.

The creature staggered from the force of the attack, the bone around its ribs blackening and cracking.

But even as the fire ate at it, the Alpha began to regenerate. The cracks sealed, the bone hardening again. Its blue eyes burned brighter, as if mocking their efforts.

Noah had seen enough.

He charged forward, drawing his shadow hammer into his hand.

He swung the hammer downwards with all his strength, the impact connecting with the Alpha’s foreleg.

Bone shattered, the creature’s massive limb buckling under the force.

The Alpha retaliated instantly, its tail snapping across Noah’s chest.

The blow sent him skidding backward, his boots gouging trenches in the ground. He caught his breath, bracing as the Alpha lunged for him, its jaws opening wide.

Noah teleported with Null Stride, appearing above its back as it lunged.

He spun in the air, bringing the hammer down in a crushing arc. The weapon connected with the beast’s skull, the impact sending cracks splintering through its cranium.

The Alpha crashed into the floor, its roar echoing like thunder.

"Stay down!" Noah snarled, driving his knee into the side of its head and swinging again.

But the Alpha’s regeneration flared once more. The fissures in its bones sealed shut, glowing with crimson fire.

It snapped its head up, catching Noah as he was swinging his hammer, and flung him into the air.

Before he could hit the ground, Cecilia swooped down, catching him by the arm with one hand while channeling a massive surge of mana with the other.

Her phoenix screeched below, slamming into the Alpha again, this time locking its talons around the creature’s torso.

The two beasts writhed and clashed, claws and flame tearing through each other.

Cecilia’s voice rose over the cacophony. "Its regeneration runs on fire essence. My phoenix is burning it cleaner!"

Noah’s eyes widened as realization struck him. "You’re saying..."

"I’m going to purify it!" she finished.
