Velgrynd had been relaxing in her abode until, "Z̸̜̝͐̊̏X̸̣͕̞̃X̷̙͈̝̆̽͛Z̸̮̟̜͈͈̆H̷̨̤͉͔̏̓͊͑̇Ǵ̶͉͍̂͘X̴̡̛͎̓̀͝H̴̱̜̱̞͋̚B̶̯̈́͜Z̵̘͌Ẑ̵̢͕̐̾̕Z̸͙͒̂X̶̨̛͌͝." A distorted frequency suddenly beeped into her ears.
She left her abode and explored the empire incase citizens were experiencing the same experience but through her pain she could see that she was the only one that was affected. This was meant for her.
She traced the source of the noise to the edge of the eastern empires borders, the buzzing was making her head burst, it seemed to be affecting her spiritual body, it wasn't harming her but it was an extreme annoyance.
When she finally arrived at the source, she found a masked man wielding a purple scythe with some sort of slab in his other hand. He tapped the tablet and the buzzing went away.
I landed and the man readied his scythe, "You really have no idea who you'r-" Before she could finish, the man was already Infront of her about to bring his scythe down.
She tried to counteract the blast by sending a scorching fire in conjunction with acceleration to block the attack
…But it failed, the scythe immediately cut straight through both her attack and arm.
She jumped back and examined her missing arm, the power completely separated her limb, the power seemed like a utility based ability that's been optimized to for attack.
She tried to access the affects of what had just happened to her, but decided to test this human.
The air cracked with heat, the oxygen bursting life around it. Velgrynd burned the ground infront of her into molten lava.
The hunters scythe transformed into something different and fired a projectile that had the same effect.
Velgrynd knew that it was a bad idea to attempt to block it so she took advantage of her speed to dodge it as much as possible. When she tried to attack the hunter from behind, he swiveled quickly and met her dragon blade with ease. The dragon blade shattered upon impact.
Velgrynd backed off and adopted a new strategy, the damage to her body healing instantly. She couldn't try a direct approach, so she decided to overwhelm him.
She created a burning cage around him that began closing in on him. He cut straight through the cage but was met with Velgrynds figure on the other side.
She coated her fist in fire and accelerated towards him, he cut her first in twain causing her attack to fail.
…But her other hand came in with a flaming fist to the gut.
Her attack burned a hole straight through him. The hunter retreated and immediately administered a high heal on himself.
The damage healed but the pain still lingering. The hunter began to access the battlefield, he could still keep on going but he didn't know if his lord would want him to fight on.
"Continue fighting for now, but don't overtax yourself and don't let yourself be killed. I simply need you to keep the Scorch dragon here for a little bit." Gehrman heard the ethereal voice from his brand and immediately stilled himself for a longer battle.
————————————————
"Gehrman wasn't lying about knowing miracle level holy magic." I said to myself as I saw Gehrman use Regeneration through the fog.
"Well anyways, now that Velgrynd is out here, I will have less of a bother going into the eastern empire." I looked through the fog at my target, "See you soon Rudra."
————————————————
Rudra was sitting on his throne, feeling the sudden reverberations that had just sparked in the distance, "Someone picked a fight with Velgrynd… and actually holding their own, she should still be stronger though."
"You heavily underestimate his resilience." Before Rudra could possibly react to the words, something grabbed his face and threw out of the throne room and destroying everything in its path.
Rudra got up and saw the figure who had destroyed most of his castle. The figure was a shadowy silhouette shrouded in fog, this fog seemed to purposely warp around him, leaving everything else untouched and unphased.
The figure had lunged towards him and threw his fist at him in the shape of a blade, the magical power rending through his chest before he could even process movement.
Michael recognised the trick as an extremely advanced spatial technique.
He attempted to use Israfil to counteract his control of space but even that wasn't enough to stop him.
Aside of the spatial martial arts, the figure wasn't doing anything else from him, yet he could feel the figure grow frustrated.
The figure immediately retreated and tried something new. Rudra witnessed the figure fist generate Nihility infused with a new power, something that he knew could kill him.
The figure lunged at me and I had to use everything to try and block the attack, using several ultimate skills to block the attack.
Rudra had successfully blocked the figures attack and escaping danger he smiled a little.
"haha…HAHHAHAAH!" Rudra's composure dropped when the figure had retreated and suddenly began laughing hard.
"Thank you emperor for your gifts." After that the figure vanished into thin air.
————————————————
Velgrynd was looking at the man Infront of her was on one knee trying to catch his breath, "Seems you've reached you limit."
Just as she was about to end his life, she felt danger from behind.
She turned and found light scattering around her the intensity increasing and then she was blasted with extreme luminosity.
She immediately recovered and found the hunter protected by a black crystalline floating golem, "And who might you be?"
"WE. ARE. NECROZMA." The golem didn't hesitate to start attacking, spots of light began appearing around him and then blasted into each other, the light refracting and coalescing into each other creating a storm of light rays that kept getting bigger and bigger.
This was Kaleidescope, a unique skill that based around the principle of light refraction.
Despite that, Velgrynd dodge the light rays easily, the more rays of light appeared, the more her speed accelerated, "They're so alike, no talk all fight." She spoke to herself inquisitively
"Tell me, why do you protect this human. You clearly are related to dragons who are supposed to be proud and yet you stoop down to protecting this human." Velgrynd spoke aloud
"I have been tasked by my lord to protect this and human… and he is my friend."
"Your lord? You even serve someone, so you're no more than a puppet?"
"And you're not? You have no one, my lord told me that your husband that you love so much… isn't your husband. You are no better than I am." The smile on Velgrynds face immediately vanished into a vicious scowl.
Suddenly both the golem and the tired hunter turned their head towards the eastern empire, "It seems that the lord has retrieved what he needed from the empire and given that husband of yours a good beating."
Velgrynd was immediately surprised and wanted to rush over right at that moment but the golem read her thoughts and blasted her with all the light energy that had been accumulating in the surrounding environments.
"You defeated dragon dare to try and combat me."
" Me? You couldn't fathom what I am. I am light." The last words were spoken in one voice instead of his usual multitude of voices
" I am space."
"I am hope."
"I am destruction."
"We are everything our lords wishes us to be. WE ARE NECROZMA and we will not fail him."

The dragon and human watched as the golems body parts became gold and then unwrap itself, the parts of its body began molding solid light around it into solid body parts. It's body had now more resembled a dragon. It's body segmented into a main body with segmented wings all made of light, it's body illuminating the world around it.
Before Velgrynd could get out of her amazement, she was blasted with what she could only describe as a miniature sun. The ball of flames hit her across the land, but she recuperated immediately.
She returned to the battlefield that was now a scorching crater and no one left.
————————————————
When the two returned back to Eden, everyone looked in awe at the golden bipedal dragon.
Well everyone was celebrating Necrozma's evolution into the shining one, I tended to Gehrman, collecting the DNA samples off his body and healing him. I have gotten 4 valuable things from this expeditions.
1. I have gotten the Scorch dragons cells which I collected for the 7th divine key.
2. I've gained a surbordinate with the power that can rival a demon lord, and I'm not just talking about a seed, I mean an awakened.
3. I now have the information that the divine keys have power to compete with ultimate skill users
4. The last thing is something I gained from Rudra, in that final attack, Rudra had used what ever ultimate skills to try and defend my attack which I copied them all. This includes Micheal.
I now have the means to create angels.
