Chapter 12 - Green Devil Subjugation

"Green Devil Subjugation, begin!"

A young woman took the charge, her pigtails trailing behind her as her tanned skin darkened under the shadow of the Void Creature. 

She had fierce eyes, bright and gray like a full moon, and carried a graceful disposition with every step. Her jacket, marked with the symbol of Eclipse, rippled in the wind as she ran, taking long strides with every step. 

Her arm stretched outwards, brilliant light exploding outwards towards the sky.

"Sky Gate, First Tier!"

High above the Void Creature, the sky parted, allowing bright light to spill through the clouded region. A snout peaked through, and then a head, clawed limbs, feathered wings, and finally a long, powerful tail.

A beast resembling a dragon of western legend, clad in white scales and as large as a towering mountain, descended. It flapped its powerful wings, gusts of wind twisting like miniature tornados. Despite its impressive size however, the beast was only about the size of the Void Creature's eye.

"Calypso!"

The young woman turned around just in time for a burly young man to barrel towards her, also sporting the insignia of Eclipse. With a quick shout, the surrounding earth heaved, rising up to encase his body in a thick armor of rock. His new golem form stood over three meters tall, towering over Calypso.

The young woman leaped into the air, her muscles flexing to support the motion. Landing gracefully atop his extended rocky arms.

There was a slight pause as the young man's arm dipped slightly with Calypso crouching down.

BOOM!

A shockwave exploded, with Calypso being launched miles up into the air while her companion quickly climbed out of a deep crater formed by the strength of her powerful legs.

She spread out her arms, sporting a wide smile on her face as a feeling of excitement and freedom filled her chest. Within seconds, Calypso found herself at eye level with one of the Green Devil's numerous eyes. 

The shimmering surface of the serpentine eyes glared at her for a moment, murderous intent obvious from afar. 

Without warning, a gust of wind swiftly passed by, removing the young woman from the monster's vision before it could blink. The sudden disappearance of its enemy shocked it to its core, not expecting such movements from a wingless creature. Several of its eyes moved erratically, hoping to catch a glimpse of the woman.

It suddenly reeled back one of its serpent heads, hissing echoing for miles as a viscous green fluid drained from its eyes. The winds shifted, and another head was blinded, and then another.

Outraged, the Green Devil pounded the ground with its arms, sending tremors through the earth. All in unison, the serpent heads raised their fanged mouths to the sky, letting out a shrill cry.

HISSS!

The sound sent out a shockwave, displacing the air. A faint roar could be heard high up in the sky, revealing the dragon Calypso had summoned with her ability. It flapped its massive wings, a torrent of gusts propelling it far away from the Void Creature.

Atop the summoned dragon, Calypso stood with her arms crossed, her face free of worry. Faint lights glimmered in her eyes as she shouted for all to hear.

"All members of Eclipse!" her smile twisted into a slightly morbid grin, "Tear through its flesh!"

Dozens of Awakeners struck the creature in its side, explosions rippling the fabric of reality. The Green Devil found itself writhing in pain, buckling to one side of its body as a sizable chunk of its torso had been evaporated from existence. It turned just in time to see dozens of Awakeners gathered near its rear, already preparing their next wave of attacks.

The Green Devil's rage swelled. A crimson red glow spread across two of its arms, its blood flowing like magma through its veins as it raised two glowing red fists.

Without warning, the voice of a young man cut through the battlefield.

"Draconic Transformation: Second Form!"

One of the Green Devil's heads swiveled back, looking down just in time to see a glint of crimson red, a speck so tiny it looked almost akin to that of an ant's silhouette. 

BOOM!

An explosion, and a deep crater over a mile in diameter sank into the Void Creature's side. The imprint of a giant fist was clearly visible as the Green Devil writhed in pain, its remaining half slipping out of the space crack, sending tremors through the earth that spread out for hundreds of miles.

The Green Devil turned its attention from the Eclipse squad to the tiny figure of the leader of the Night Weavers.

The red haired young man sported a vicious grin, his draconic limbs full of strength and vigor. With a shout, he kicked the ground to propel himself forward as his squad members looked on with worry, ready to step in to support their leader in case of trouble.

"Be careful Vikir!"

Their pleas went unheard as he barreled towards the monster, his entire frame poised for battle. In an instant, he reached the section of the Green Devil's lower half where he had struck previously. One arm stretched back, his figure arched like a bow, tension boiling. The next instant, Vikir unleashed all his built up pressure.

BOOM!

Flesh twisted together, melting with skin, tangling with shattered bones. The Green Devil hissed, its serpent heads flicking the air with forked tongues. It swung down both of its crimson arms at the red haired young man, akin to two moons falling.

Vikir grinned, his veins bulging with excitement at the incoming fists. They loomed over him like a pair of mountains, covering his view of the sky.

Without warning, a roar escaped his lips, "Draconic Transformation: Third Form!"

His muscles swelled, crimson scales covering more of his body as he grew to over two meters tall. A muscular tail sprouted from his rear and a pair of leathery wings sprang from his back. With one mighty flap, he left a deep crater as he shot right towards the descending fists.

Stretching out a clawed arm covered in thick crimson scales, Vikir grinned wildly, his eyes turning into slits as the speed at which he flew at caused sparks of flame to cover his arm. Soon enough, he was like a comet, encased in blazing fury as he collided against one of the Green Devil's fists.

An explosion of fire engulfed the fist as a fiery streak pierced right through it, soaring into impossible heights. Vikir stopped his ascent with the spread of his wings, dispersing the flames around him as he looked down at his handiwork.

A hole had been driven clean through one of the Green Devil's hands, its blood dripping unceasingly like a crimson waterfall. With a faint screech, the Void Creature lunged at him in the sky with all six limbs, its skeletal protrusions scraping through the earth.

Vikir smirked, his mighty wings flapping to keep himself airborne as the Green Devil drew closer. With every movement, the mighty creature shook the earth, its body digging valleys as it slithered towards him and away from Eclipse.

His voice cut through the tremors of the earth, "Draconic Transformation: Fourth Form!"
