House of The Dragon-A God Amongst Men-Chapter 172: Infernis: Demons II

(Third Person POV)

Large dragon wings manifested themselves behind Drakken as a loud rumbling was heard. The air itself began to shake violently as the buildings in the area began to crumble due to the immense pressure exerted.

The Demon looked at this, grinning widely, "Ho....?" He said, "A Dragon..."

Suddenly, a massive figure emerged from behind Drakken, that of a large dragon. The dragon had thick steel plates for scales, his large wings had sharp blades at at edges.

His massive head had what looked like a horned helmet covering it, which was part of its metallic skull. The dragon's eyes were bright golden, piercing right at the Demon who was simply staring right at him.

Sol'Tyr, the Dragon of War, had a massive metallic-like body that shifted in color, going from gold and silver to a chromatic grey.

Tryke smirked, "What a magnificent creature..." he said, "Born from a calamity."

"Begone" The Dragon said

Tryke was suddenly hit by Sol'Tyr's tail-lance, stabbing him in the stomach and planting him right into the ground.

"Damn," Riktor said, "As brutal as always."

The Dragon then slowlu descended onto the ground as Drakken landed in front of him, wiping some blood off his cheek. His tail was retracting back into its original length.

Tryke stood up and emerged from the dust, his wound regenerating.

"Hehe...." He said, "Should not be surprised at the strength of a dragon."

Sol'Tyr extended his wings and released an immense pressure as he lowered his head slightly.

Riktor widened his eyes, "Oh fuck!" He exclaimed, "You gotta be shitting me!!"

"War-Torn Battlefield"

In an instant, a large portion of the city was reduced into a hellish war-torn landscape thay seemed to he decimated by battles. The buildings were crumbled, ablaze. There were massive weapons embedded into the ground as many corpses were littered around.

Riktor emerged from a pile of rubble, "Dammit, Sol'Tyr!!! A warning would be nice!" He shouted with a scowl, "Always doing this...."

Drakken stood in front of Sol'Tyr as Tryke stood there in front of them, unfazed.

"Terraforming the land in an instant." Tryke said, "Very impressive. You care not for the innocents?"

"What do they matter to me?" Drakken scowled fгeewebnovёl.com

"Interesting." Tryke said as two large chain-blades appeared from behind him, "So.....We keep going?"

Next to Drakken, Minork burst from a pile of rubble, roaring loudly as he held his hammer.

"RAHHH!!" He bellowed as he lunged at them

Sol'Tyr shielded Drakken with his wing, a powerful shockwave emitting from the impact and he casually pushed the Demon away.

"Riktor, buddy, mind dealing with your guy?" Drakken scowled

Riktor sighed, "Fine, fine." He said as two bat-like wings sprouted from his back, "I suppose these demons are sturdier than the lesser ones I have killed."

Tryke chucked, "We are servants of Lord Valkren after all."

"Shut up." Drakken said

Sol'Tyr swung his arm at Tryke, sending forth a wave of energy that hit him hard. The energy them turned into what looked like spears and arrows, immediately piercing his body clean.

"Ah." Tryke said with a grin as he staggered, blood covering his body, "Powerful...."

Minork had launched himself into the air, attempting to attack the Dragon but Riktor intercepted him with a serious blow to the stomach, sending him flying away.

"Alright, I will deal with him and look for the stone, Drakken!" He said, "Deal with this one. He's bad news!"

Tryke's chain-blades extended as they began to float behind him, his wounds regenerating and his armor repairing itself. His grin did not leave his face, which unsettled Drakken greatly.

"Well well well...." He said, "My Lord told me to retrieve the Bloodstone, which is something that I will do. And you will not stop me. I always complete my missions."

Drakken scowled, "Well that's too bad." He said, "You're gonna fail today."

Tryke raised his scythe as the blade exuded a black miasma, "I doubt it."

Suddenly, his two chainblades swung violently at Drakken, only to be shielded by Sol'Tyr's wings. The dragon then opened his maw and fired off a beam of flames, almost hitting Tryke who had jumped into the air and swung his scythe down.

"Corrupted Slash"

A massive slash of black energy fired off ar the dragon who casually parried it with his tail.

"Foul Demon." Sol'Tyr said, "Your Corruption will not touch me."

"Such a shame." Tryke said

Drakken gritted his teeth, "I don't have time to play around with a demon!" He shouted, "So do me a favor and fucking die!"

"How cruel." Tryke taunted as he landed on the ground, "You don't want to play?"

"That's it." Drakken said, "I am going to make you regret ever coming within my presence. Sol'Tyr reduced the area into a Battlefield, i am going to make it your living hell!!"

"Sol'Tyrian Tenets: "

The ground began to shake violently as massive fissures opened, releasing steam.

"Dead-Marionettes"

Suddenly, a massive amount of skeletons clad in armor and wielding weapons emerged from the fissures, surrounding both Drakken and Sol'Tyr.

"Interesting." Tryke said, "What a demonic ability."

"Shut up." Drakken said as he conjured a sword in his hand, "Sol'Tyr."

"Dead Puppets which were enslaved by my power." The Dragon spoke, "Spread throughout the City and find the Bloodstone of Vladius. Any demonic presence should be obliterated without mercy. Go."

The army of war-skeletons began to stampede around the area as some lunged at Tryke, who swung his scythe and cut them down.

As the skeletons began their directive, spreading past the battlefield, The Demon noticed that the ones he destroyed reattached themselves together. They straightened up and their weapons began to glow brightly as they screeched.

"Oh my." The demon said, "You are quite the foe."

"Of course." Sol'Tyr said as he slammed his claws at him

Tryke blocked the attack with his scythe and his feet slowly dug into the ground due to the impact.

Drakken then appeared behind Tryke and swung the sword at him, only to be blocked by his chain-blades.

"Tch..." Drakken said, "Why do you want the Bloodstone?!"

"That is not for you to know." Tryke said as he slipped away, "But I must say, how long can this dragon last manifested? A few minutes? Can your Calamity keep up?"

"Don't you worry about anything." Drakken said as he lunged at him, "Just know you are going to die!!"

Tryke hunched down and his two chainblades shot straight ar Sol'Tyr as they were wrapped in a black miasma. As they reached him, they twirled around each other in a drill-like manner.

The attack hit Sol'Tyr in his wing, sending him reeling back.

Drakken took a step forth and was suddenly cut.

"What?" He said as blood began to spray out of a massive wound on his body, "The hell?"

"Do you truly think I am weak?" Tryke said with a smirk,

"That would be your greatest mistake!"
