Demonic Dragon: Harem System-Chapter 369: I HAVE A REASON TO GET STRONGER
The battlefield was covered in dust and rubble. The mountains in the background were bursting with the pressure of battle, and the air was vibrating with the uncontrollable power of two beings burning with power. Strax and Scarlet were at the center of it all, their bodies consumed by an energy that could destroy the world, but neither of them seemed to give in.
Strax felt his heart beating violently. He knew he was at a disadvantage. Scarlet was a beast, a natural force in combat, and her connection to the elements was almost as deep as that of a god. But Strax had something she didn't... The Ultimate System. That was what kept him going, even when the difference in power seemed overwhelming.
"Do you think you can defeat me?" Scarlet teased, her eyes blazing with a red fury. Her savage smile never disappeared, but the intensity of her energy threatened to engulf everything around her.
Strax exhaled slowly. "I'll show you what it means to face true strength." The draconic transformation in his body was already underway. Black and gold scales covered his arms and legs, and his energy wings exploded on his back with a roar, creating a wave of destruction around him. His eyes shone with the strength of an ancient dragon.
The battle began.
Scarlet advanced with a speed that was impossible to keep up with. She disappeared from Strax's sight, but he had expected this move. He activated Increased Thinking Speed, his mind running faster than his body, and with that, he anticipated her attack. She appeared in front of him, her fists covered in destructive energy, but Strax was already one step ahead.
With one swift movement, he activated Lightning Manipulation, creating a burst of lightning that enveloped him in an electric bubble. Scarlet was thrown back by the shock, but she quickly recovered, using Fire Manipulation to engulf herself in scarlet flames and advance even faster. The impact of the flames against the lightning was so strong that the ground began to crack, releasing fragments of stone that flew through the air like bullets.
Strax smiled. That was what he wanted.
With a roar, he used his Dragon Claw to slash the air with force, creating blades of cutting energy that came out of his hands. Scarlet dodged with impressive agility, but the energy blades cut through her cloak, leaving deep marks on her skin. However, she didn't retreat, but only intensified her aura. The pressure around her increased, and the atmosphere began to distort.
"You're not going to beat me like this!" Scarlet shouted, her eyes now black as night. With a gesture, she released her Gravity Manipulation, creating a gravitational vortex that pulled Strax into the center of overwhelming gravity. Strax felt the pressure building, his body beginning to be compressed, but he refused to give in.

"Not so fast!" Strax shouted, activating his own Gravity Manipulation to counterattack. The gravity around him intensified and opposed that of Scarlet. The clash between the two forces of gravity caused the battlefield to be destroyed. The ground shattered, the stones disintegrated and a huge wave of energy exploded, throwing them away from each other.
Scarlet stood up quickly, her aura burning with fury. "You have more tricks, Strax, but so do I." She raised her hand, and a mass of Chaos Energy appeared around her, a black ball that pulsed with corrosive energy.
Strax frowned. He knew what was coming. He activated Blood Manipulation, manipulating the blood flow in his body to create a defense. His blood became as dense as steel, preventing the energy of chaos from reaching him directly. But Scarlet wasted no time. With one fluid movement, she fired the Dragon Blast, creating a wave of concentrated destruction that hit Strax directly.
The blast was devastating. The impact destroyed everything around him, creating an immense crater and sending Strax to the bottom. But Strax wasn't finished. With a roar, he used Light Manipulation to create a blinding barrier of light that reflected the impact, and he stood up in the dust with a smile on his face.
"You made me use that." He said, and then his body glowed with golden energy as he activated his Dragon Transformation. His strength increased exponentially, and he shot towards Scarlet with impressive speed.
He materialized in front of her in an instant, activating his Positive Energy Manipulation to create a blast of pure light that hit Scarlet with the force of a miniature sun. The impact launched Scarlet into the sky, but she quickly recovered, controlling the air around her to soften her fall.
"You can't outrun me!" She screamed, and from her hands emerged gigantic Flames of Fire that covered the sky, throwing a wall of fire towards Strax. But he didn't hesitate. With a roar, he activated his Fire Manipulation to create a barrier of golden flames around him, and the two forces collided, creating an explosion that lit up the battlefield for a second.
However, Strax didn't let himself be overwhelmed. He used Negative Energy Manipulation to absorb some of the fire's energy, redirecting it into his own attacks. He fired a Dragon's Breath, a blast of pure draconic energy, which engulfed Scarlet's wall of flames, forcing her to retreat.
But Scarlet didn't give up. She used her Water Manipulation to create a torrent of water that extinguished the flames around her, and she advanced once more, creating a wave of Ice that covered the entire battlefield. Strax was forced to use his Ice Manipulation to create a barrier of ice crystals, but Scarlet was there in the blink of an eye.
She fired a Fire Blast, but Strax was ready. He activated his Lightning Manipulation and enveloped his body in pure electricity. The blast of fire was neutralized by the electricity, and Strax seized the moment to appear behind Scarlet, slamming his Dragon Claw directly into her back. The impact was devastating.
Scarlet staggered, her breathing heavy, but a fierce smile still remained on her lips. "Impressive, Strax. But it's still not enough."
Strax, panting, with his body covered in wounds and his energy almost at its limit, kept his eyes fixed on her. An unwavering determination burned in his gaze. He knew that this confrontation was approaching its climax, and he would do whatever it took to ensure his victory. It was now or never.
With one swift movement, Strax raised his hands to the sky, channeling all the Chaos Energy he had absorbed during the battle. The power surged from his body in an explosion of light and darkness, distorting the space around him. The ground began to shake violently, the nearby mountains trembled as if the world itself was about to give way. The waves of energy expanded at a frightening speed, devastating everything in their path, while an overwhelming pressure took hold of the battlefield.
Scarlet, with her aura still vibrant and her energies rising, tried to resist. She activated her Gravity Manipulation, creating a barrier around herself to counteract Strax's overwhelming power. But the force of the Chaos Energy was immense, and even her best efforts were not enough. The gravity around her distorted, pulling her towards the center of the explosion. The impact was brutal, and she was thrown to the ground, the shock shattering her defenses and causing her concentration to waver for a brief moment.
"No!" Scarlet shouted, her voice filled with fury. She tried to stand up, but the pressure was unbearable. Strax's energy enveloped her, eating away at her defenses and draining her vitality. She struggled against the pain, but felt her body give way. Every cell in her being seemed to be crushed under the weight of the force Strax was unleashing.
Strax, without hesitation, felt the wave of energy in his body reach its peak. He knew that this would be his last chance. He gathered all his remaining strength and, with a primal roar, fired his Dragon's Breath - a colossal attack of fire, ice, electricity and chaos. The blast of energy was so intense that it seemed to engulf everything around it, turning the battlefield into an inferno of destruction. The storm created by the fusion of all these elements formed a devastating tornado that engulfed Scarlet, dragging her into the center of its uncontrollable fury.
The battlefield was swallowed up by the explosion, creating a void of devastation where nothing seemed to exist but the fury of battle. The impact reverberated for miles around, cracking the earth and leaving a trail of destruction wherever it went. The sky darkened and the mountains crumbled under the sheer force of the fight.
When the dust finally began to clear, Strax was on his feet, his body exhausted but with a look of triumph. He could barely keep his feet on the ground, but his victory was assured. Scarlet lay in the center of the devastation, her body immersed in flames and ice, the aura that once shone so brightly now reduced to a mere shadow of its former self. She was badly wounded, her energy depleted, and her expression was a mixture of surprise and acceptance.
Strax took a step forward, breathing heavily. His body was in tatters, but his eyes were steady. "I won." His voice, although tired, carried a confidence that could not be ignored. He had overcome the impossible.
Scarlet, in a last-ditch effort, raised her head, trying to move, but the strength had left her body.
"HAHAHAHAHA" She laughed, so loudly that it started an earthquake, "HAHAHAHA HOW HAHAHAHA"
"I ADMIT IT HAHAHA I LOST!" She shouted excitedly... it was the first time in a thousand years... that she had lost... "HAHAHAHA NOW I HAVE A REASON TO GET STRONGER HAHAHAHA"
