The Last Primal

After his semi, hastened transformation, a few bone spikes that should have normally pierced Aiden's back were blocked by the shining golden scales and bounced back.

Despite that miraculous change, Aiden could not avoid all the bone spikes after all.

His body was not fully covered in scales, and though his [Shapeshifting] innate trait had several ranks to it, it still needed a couple of seconds to fully cover Aiden's back, there were still some 'holes' in his defense.

His newly frame that increased in size all of a sudden twisted in mid air and contorted into an unimaginable arc, evading several more bone spikes as his frame shifted to one side.

Yet, in the next moment, splashes of blood exploded.

The last of the bone spikes brushed by Aiden's body, grazing his body and leaving a superficial wound on his left shoulder.

Even though he did not manage to completely avoid the sudden ambush attack of the bone spikes, Aiden managed to escape from a potentially fatal situation with his unparalleled agility and quick reaction time.

As the threat passed, suddenly Aiden's body crackled once again, and the hastily erected draconic appendages as well as the golden scales that covered most of his body vanished seemingly in an instant, turning to his original body once more.

The Left Hand's gaze was exceptionally dark as he glared at the wound on Aiden's shoulder.

Although that wound wasn't deep, the weapons of Malefic Demon Clan were all basked and tempered in vile demonic energy. The moment they injure anyone, malefic energy would surge into the smallest of wounds.

Those that were lightly affected would not be able to channel their inner energy efficiently and their combat strength would weaken. If they did not purge it in time, it might even destroy their foundation and cripple their chances at recovery in the future.

Those that were severely affected would have their hearts enveloped by the malefic energy, causing fatal injury that in most cases lead directly to their deaths in just a few minutes.

Right in front of the Left Hand, the wound on Aiden's shoulder flashed with streaks of golden energy, purging the demonic contaminated energy entirely.

Aiden stood where he was and glared at Loran Whron and the dark robed figure coldly. The killing intent in his eyes intensified and his aura was changing as well.

"[Reptilian] Heh…" Not sensing the sudden change in the air, the Left Hand sneered and cackled with malice. "I give you one last chance to surrender, filth! Though that transformation was flashy and it saved you the first time… next time I will be prepared and you'll be shredded to pieces without mercy!"

"[Reptilian] This is your last chance, kid." Suddenly, Loran Whron's eyes shone and he said. "As long as you willingly hand over the secret technique you used just now, as well as your dark blade, I promise to let you off. Furthermore, I will stand by your side and kill this scum demonic practitioner alongside with you! How does that sound?"

"[Reptilian] Ahahaha!" Aiden burst into a gleeful laughter in response for several seconds before suddenly his gaze shifted and his eyes shone with a golden, but at the same time, especially sinister and cold glint.

"[Reptilian] A bunch of worms… you really think you have won?"

The moment he spoke, his voice also changed, revealing a much deeper, thunderous tone. A sinister wind also gusted without warning.

The ground began to quake, as a massive power suddenly descended and enveloped the land all around. An uncanny, primordial power, that neither disciple of these great factions have ever felt before.

Looking at the young man before them, and noticing his sinister expression not far away, Loran Whron and the Left Hand felt an unprecedented sense of fear!

'[Reptilian] What is going on?'

The two of them exchanged glances with grim expressions.

"[Reptilian] You pathetic worms… you wish to learn MY secrets? Are you truly, that interested?"

Aiden licked his lips with a ferocious glint in his eyes. Grinning, he shouted. "[Reptilian]…Then let me give you a taste!"

A muffled sound rang out from within Aiden's body, as though some seals had been released and an ancient divine creature had been unleashed from within. It was terrifying!

Although they had been fighting for a short time, Aiden had already realized that he wouldn't be able to defeat the two of them if he continued fighting with his current strength.

Though there were still some risks with it, since there was nobody else at this place, he could kill them in his true form without anybody knowing!

Aiden's power began to skyrocket following along as his frame began to twist and rapidly grew, gaining inch after inch in both height and muscle mass.

His body rapidly expanded, as well as his Draconic Skink features rapidly transformed revealing his peak form of an Ancient Dragon in his semi-transformed humanoid form. Invisible currents of strange, otherworldly energy revolved around his body, distorting his visage and making him turn something akin to a God descending before mortals to enact his divine judgment.

"[Reptilian] W-w-w…"

"[Reptilian] T-this is impossible!"

Loran Whron and the Left Hand were shocked. How could this be possible? What is going on?

The moment they saw that dense unknown aura, the two of them thought that Aiden was not like what he seemed. They felt as if a divine being appeared before them. However, they were puzzled on second thought.

There was no way Divine Beings could take on such a form before and appear on this realm… At least that's what they were taught all their lives.

Everything before them was completely unexplainable. What was happening was simply impossible, it went completely beyond the possibilities of their understanding.

How could that scrawny little skink suddenly change forms, and become such an unexplainable entity?

In Loran Whron and the Left Hand's moment of daze, Aiden shifted and arrived before Loran Whron in the blink of an eye.

A series of afterimages appeared behind Aiden, lasting for a long time.

"[Reptilian] Aaaaah what in the…!"

Loran Whron's expression changed and his heart nearly exploded. Aiden was too imposing and terrifying!

Lunging over with that asphyxiating aura, he was even more feral than the ferocious beasts of the ancient era with his surging divine aura and ruthless, cold killing intent!

Loran Whron did not have time to contemplate and activated his inner energy, churning all the remaining mana inside his body furiously as his bracers shone with a bedazzling spirit light. He knew he only had one chance.

"[Reptilian] I don't care what sort of a monster… or whatever it is you are, just die!"
