Vile Evil Hides Under The Veil-Chapter 1919 Dissolved Dragonoid Form

Cough! Cough! Cough!

Marina coughed up thick, dark red draconic blood as she separated from the butcher.

With one swift motion, she created distance from him before wiping the blood from the corner of her lips.

Her hair was disheveled, and her face was covered in blood and grime. Sweat coated her body — something she hadn't experienced for a very long time.

Burn marks and torn skin covered her body, and she could no longer maintain her perfect humanoid form. Her dragon horns had grown larger, and patches of her body were covered in dragon scales, which had allowed her to withstand the serious injuries she had suffered.

This wasn't her dragonoid form. Not really. Her draconic body had instinctively manifested these features without her consent — a clear sign of her survival instincts taking over.

Marina's clothes were also torn, exposing most of her body. Her perfect feminine curves were on full display, albeit in a not-so-perfect manner. If she weren't injured and battered by Eren, she would have looked even more stunning.

Of course, Marina no longer shied away from exposing her vulnerable self in front of her enemy — she no longer had that privilege.

"You… you are certainly not a human… or… cough!... or a beast for that matter," Marina said grimly, looking at Eren with complicated emotions. Frustration was evident in her voice, but more than frustration, it was disbelief that filled her mind.

Could there really be a living being capable of challenging the might of dragons within the same realm? No… Eren wasn't even an S-Ranker at this point. He was merely a Grandmaster, a rank below Marina, which made the comparison worse for her.

Could someone possess more mana to spare than a dragon? Could anyone surpass dragons in terms of vitality and near-endless regenerative abilities? Eren had to be an exception.

"Keke… kuh… kuh… cough…. I… I'll take that a compliment."

Eren smiled as he looked at Marina. He wasn't exactly unscathed from their battle either. In fact, he felt like he was in worse condition than her.

If it wasn't for the fact that Reen was currently serving as a skin-hugging draconic armor, he too would have displayed his naked form in all its glory.

Although he wasn't as physically injured as his opponent, he was exhausted mentally and spiritually. The intent-based magic he was forced to use against Marina had spiritually drained him. His Spirit Force was dangerously close to zero. Experience new stories on novelbuddy

If not for the Sevenfold Mana Core technique he had unlocked before arriving at Baga Island, he would have given up on fighting this tough dragoness long ago. In fact, he wouldn't have dared to face her alone if he hadn't made all his preparations beforehand.

Eren knew the risks of facing a true dragon. After all, someone like Eliza Samael — a mere half-blood dragoness — had nearly beaten him into submission back in Anfang a few years ago.

If the Witch of the Enderflames hadn't just been resurrected from her old, decrepit state, she could have easily killed him. It was only because he had thoroughly prepared for the Lazarus Project that he managed to score a win against the half-blood dragoness.

As such, Eren fully understood the risks. This was why he had lured Marina away from Baga Island, leaving Azurea at the enemy stronghold.

If Marina was accompanied by Azurea, the twin dragons would have smashed Eren into a pulp despite the numerous advantages he had accumulated.

Azurea was busy assisting Shir in maintaining the seal on the sea monster. While Shir focused on strengthening the previously existing runes present in the Sea God Raashim's temple, Azurea had dived deep into the sea near the sealed creature.

Using her draconic might, Azurea was reinforcing the seal at its very foundation, easing the burden Shir was currently bearing.

If Eren wanted, he could have easily diverted Azurea's attention. Without the twin dragons' assistance, Shir would have failed the seal-strengthening process long ago, allowing the sea monster to regain its freedom.

However, Eren saw no reason to enrage both dragonesses at the same time. He had also instructed his subordinates not to interfere with Azurea in any way, allowing her to reinforce the seal undisturbed.

Although Eren ran the risk of foiling his own plans to release the sea monster due to Azurea's uninterrupted efforts, he didn't dare to take on both twin dragonesses at once — a fight he considered pure suicide.

"Erni… You want me to fight her on my own?"

Reen manifested her face on Eren's right chest and asked while looking at Marina.

She, too, was injured and felt some degree of fatigue. However, unlike Eren or Marina, she was far from reaching the point of complete exhaustion. After all, as an Elder Seed Artifact Spirit, she was technically not a living creature but a Spirit Form.

As long as her Spirit Force wasn't fully depleted, she could endlessly regenerate her slime form. She clearly didn't have as many restrictions as living beings when it came to prolonged battles. Furthermore, she boasted a higher Spirit Force recovery rate than all the living beings under S-Rank. The more she was allowed to rest the more she would be able to help her master.

"I…. I don't think that's a very good ide–…. Hmmm?"

Eren was about to speak to Reen but was interrupted. His dragonoid form started to melt away.

Because of the battle with Marina, Eren also realized that he himself was capping Reen's true potential. After all, Reen needed some of his Spirit Force to serve as a medium for his dragonoid form.

With his Spirit Force nearly depleted, he could no longer maintain his dragonoid form in battle. He figured that Reen would be forced to separate from him, and he would have to cancel his dragonoid form within a minute or less — even if he stood still and didn't take another step.

"Erni… I don't think you can continue playing with that overhyped lizard anymore."

Reen had sensed Eren's predicament as well. That was why she offered to fight Marina on her own.

Even though she wasn't as strong as Marina at her peak, Reen's powers had touched the threshold of S-Rank — one of the key reasons Eren had been able to fight Marina on equal footing for so long.
