Seer: I, Miris, have no obstacles in my evolution

Chapter 974 The Battle of the Dragon King (Part 2)

Upon waking, Zhen Shi Gertrude vaguely remembered that someone had drained his power, and the Frost Dragon Hilkd had also disappeared.

Now, whether it's to rescue Hilced or to prevent his power from being used by those with ulterior motives, Zhen Shi Gertrude has to teach Twilight String a lesson.

So, relying on the connection between the dragon spirits, he tracked them all the way here, and as soon as he arrived, he saw the Fallen Soul Gertrude, with whom he had a close relationship.

"This is……"

"...?"

Zhen Shi Gertrude and Duo Hun Gertrude stood there, gazing at each other like bewildered little animals looking in a mirror for the first time, without moving for a long time.

Zhen Shi Gertrude was the first to recover from her shock, her cold gaze sweeping over the Fallen Soul Gertrude:

"You absorbed my power? Fine, then I'll finish you off myself!"

The aura of Zhen Shi Gertrude instantly shifted from peaceful to violent. Dragon energy surged around him, and the black and white dragons roared continuously, charging towards the Fallen Soul Gertrude with a murderous aura.

Sensing the killing intent emanating from the other party, Fallen Soul Gertrude's chaotic self-awareness suddenly became much clearer, and she charged out together with the red and blue dragons beside her.

The inherited spiritual power allowed Fallen Soul Gertrude to recognize the person before her as World-Suppressing Gertrude, a being who once wielded the power of dragons.

But why is he still here? Shouldn't he be unable to stand up anymore?

Such doubts naturally began to sprout in the heart of the Fallen Soul Gertrude. After all, he was now the one who truly controlled this power, the true Dragon King!

The battle between Zhen Shi Gertrude and Po Hun Gertrude began in an instant.

This is a life-or-death battle concerning the ancient Dragon King's throne and the meaning of its own existence. The outcome of this battle will determine who should exist and who should perish.

Unlike other clones, Fallen Soul Gertrude is a product of the combination of a portion of the spiritual power of World-Suppressing Gertrude and the power of chaos.

Spiritual power originates from the power of the soul; in other words, the Fallen Soul Gertrude possesses the soul that originated from the World-Suppressing Gertrude.

They are essentially the same person, except that one possesses the power of justice from the past, while the other has been given the new power of chaos, representing darkness.

Regardless of who wins, the ancient dragon king Gertrude will remain. The only difference is that one is a righteous dragon king, and the other is an evil dragon king.

Therefore, for this battle to end, one of the two sides must die; it is impossible to reach a reconciliation like the War God Alliance and the Dark War God Alliance.

Because there can only be one ancient dragon king and one dragon-type spirit king in this world.

The battle between Zhen Shi Gertrude and Duo Hun Gertrude was completely devoid of any probing; every move was a deadly strike.

Zhen Shi Gertrude and Duo Hun Gertrude are like a pair of summoning mages, frantically pouring their power into the black and white dragons and the blue and red dragons.

The four enormous and majestic dragons, under the master's continuous infusion of powerful magic and exquisite control, began a series of thrilling and extremely brutal head-on battles!

Their incredibly sharp claws and fangs swung through the air, each attack accompanied by a howling wind.

The raging flames spewing from its mouth were as intense and dazzling as a volcanic eruption, making it impossible to look directly at them! For a moment, the entire sky was enveloped by this spectacular sight, a breathtaking scene reminiscent of the apocalypse!

However, since the two were of equal strength and essentially the same, despite the shocking scene of the battle, it did not affect the course of the dinner party at all.

To determine a winner, they must fight with everything they have.

The Fallen Soul Gertrude was clearly more insane; his only ambition was to kill the World-Suppressing Gertrude and replace him as the Ancient Dragon King, without any regard for the responsibilities that came with the title of Ancient Dragon King.

So he took the lead in burning the already limited primal energy within his body.

"The Fallen Soul of the Dragon!"

The power of chaos and the power of the dragon god quietly combined, transforming into the phantom of a jet-black dragon behind them.

A dark, dragon-like phantom roared out and coiled around Zhen Shi Gertrude like a giant python, relentlessly draining his power bit by bit.

As his power was gradually drained, Zhen Shi Gertrude's arrogant demeanor faded, and the scales of victory tipped in his favor.

This is precisely the skill effect of "Dragon's Fallen Soul":

命中后3回合内每回合使对手特防-2、速度-2，若未触发则减少对手最大体力的1/3；使自身下2回合攻击必定致命、必定命中；下2回合自身所有技能先制+2。

With both effects triggered simultaneously, Zhen Shi Gertrude's condition continued to decline, while the attacks of Duo Hun Gertrude became increasingly swift and powerful.

"All dragons pay homage!"

Sensing that victory was slipping away, Zhen Shi Gertrude had no choice but to ignite his own source.

A surge of dragon-type energy burst forth from within, instantly transforming into countless small-sized giant dragons, forming a massive dragon swarm resembling an insect colony.

They surrounded the Fallen Soul Gertrude, their dragon claws and mouths digging into her flesh, thus draining her power.

Skill effect activated:

Immune to and reflects the next damage dealt by the opponent; gains +3 initiative when under a debuff; reflects double the debuff status back to the opponent; immune to and reflects abnormal statuses for 4 turns; restores 1/1 of the user's maximum health.

The battle situation instantly reversed; all the negative effects on Zhen Shi Gertrude disappeared and were returned to Duo Hun Gertrude at twice the amount.

However, the battle has not yet reached the point where it is certain that George Trude will achieve victory.

The 100% stamina recovery mentioned above only applies to health during battle and cannot compensate for the damage caused by Zhen Shi Gertrude's depletion of her life force.

To put it simply, a spirit actually has two health bars. If one health bar is reduced to zero, the spirit will lose its ability to fight for a short period of time, but it will not die. Only when both health bars are reduced to zero will the spirit die.

The HP mentioned in the skill description refers to the first HP bar that prevents the Pokémon from dying. This effect will not affect the other HP bar that will kill the Pokémon.

Moreover, the ability reduction caused by the "Dragon's Fallen Soul" skill decreases sequentially over three rounds.

The ability reduction from Zhen Shi Gertrude is only returned for the first round; the ability reduction for the next two rounds will still trigger.

As a result, after the two sides fought for a long time, their overall attribute levels were once again on the same starting line.

The very essence of combustion seems to have been burned in vain.
