Necromancer Of The Shadows

Chapter 1209  Destruction On The Dragon Islands (Part 3)

"Finally halfway through..." Anastasia muttered to herself as she fully absorbed the black water she had drunk a moment ago. "I was expecting to reach the 50% mark of assimilating my Progenitor powers in about ten years, but with the evolution of the Shadow Realm to Primordial Shadow Realm and my partial authority over it, the time I needed to fully control my Progenitor powers decreased significantly."

As Anastasia spoke, her deep yellow vertical pupils gradually became a bit thinner, and the dragon tail protruding from her back was enlarging. The two black horns on her head became sharper, and the black scales covering her hands glowed with a diamond-like lustre, exuding a feeling of indestructibility.

Looking at the burning floating island below her, Anastasia took a deep breath and raised her hand.

Rumble!

The moment she raised her hand, the bright sky above the Dragon Islands darkened, as though a black veil had been drawn over the sun. A loud rumbling sound echoed across the world, forcing every single dragon to raise their heads and look at the blackened sky with a look of horror on their faces.

Not only dragons, even the sea monsters within a radius of tens of millions of kilometres also heard the rumbling sound from the sky and instinctively raised their heads, feeling a terrifying power brewing within the blackened sky.

As every single creature within millions of kilometres looked up, the rumbling sound coming from the blackened sky reached its peak and the next moment—

Tear!

A tearing sound reached everyone's ears, and in front of the horror-filled eyes of every single creature, the black sky was ripped apart.

A massive black-coloured dragon claw, covering the entire Fire Dragon Island—hundreds of thousands of kilometres big—descended from the torn space.

The moment the claw emerged, every single dragon, whether Rank One or Rank Six, felt their bloodlines trembling in fear, and despite wanting to stop the gradually falling claw, no one was able to move.

The massive black dragon claw shattered the space like fragile glass, and as it descended, the entire Fire Dragon Island began to tremble and even before the claw collided, cracks began to appear on the island's surface.

The size of the falling dragon claw continued to increase as it descended, and by the time it was just a thousand meters above the island, the Fire Dragon Island looked like a small rock pebble that couldn't escape its grasp no matter what.

Although all the dragons were immobilized by the effect of Anastasia's Progenitor powers, the core of the Dragon Islands, controlled by AI intelligence was completely unaffected.

The moment the AI sensed the danger of the falling claw, it determined the attack location and instantly activated all the safety barriers of the Fire Dragon Island. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

However—

Crack!

Although all the barriers were activated, the moment they came into contact with the massive dragon claw, they were instantly crushed.

Crack! Crack! — —

Deep cracks began to appear all over the Fire Dragon Island, and the formation covering it began to shatter one by one. Snake-like crevices formed across the land, and all the fire dragons living on the island roared in panic.

Amid the horror-filled roars of the fire dragons—

Crack!

The final protection barrier of the Fire Dragon Island finally shattered, and the black claw that covered the entire sky grabbed the massive island in its palm like a small floating stone.

Anastasia looked at the claw that had grabbed the island from the sky and slowly clenched her palm.

As she clenched her palm, the massive black dragon claw also closed. And—

Boom!

A small, muffled booming sound reached everyone's ears, and their hearts turned cold. Although the sound was not very loud, every single individual who heard it knew what that small booming sound represented.

The closed claw slowly opened, and as the black claw opened, trillions of tons of sand powder fell down from the sky, turning the sky-blue sea muddy in colour. Along with the large amount of sand, tens of thousands of giant bodies, covered in broken scales and lava-like blood, also fell from the sky and soon, the muddy seawater was filled with thousands of injured fire dragons.

If Anastasia wanted, she could have killed every single fire dragon staying on the Fire Dragon Island, but she did not because there was no point in it.

For one, killing all the fire dragons would arouse the anger of all the dragons, and they would try their best to look for the culprit, which would lead to a serious investigation that might expose all the things she, Evan, Sylvan, and the others had done in the past few months.

Moreover, killing all the fire dragons wouldn't bring any benefit to her because, in the current situation, she couldn't even take away their bodies for Evan to turn them into shadow undeads, so killing them would be a waste of resources.

As all the dragons and the fragments of the island crashed into the muddy sea, the massive black dragon claw began to retreat back into the space crack.

Anastasia looked into the distance, and her vision penetrated the endless space, landing on Zalthorak and the other high-level dragons, who were still standing with a shocked look on their faces.

"With the destruction of an entire island, they will definitely call back all the other high-level dragons—including Drozon, who is trying to capture Ashley..." Anastasia muttered in a low voice, feeling a slight strain on her soul from using so much power under the effect of Soul Resonance.

If it wasn't because she had assimilated a part of her Progenitor powers before using this move, she was sure she would have to deactivate the Soul Resonance skill right away.

'Now I just need to wait for them to call back Drozon and deal with that Water Dragon to end this matter...' Anastasia thought to herself and took a step forward, instantly appearing in the underground area of the central island once again.
