Chapter 67:
The...thing didn't immediately rampage.
I mean, it caused wanton destruction by merely existing, being bigger than most buildings, naturally emitting a poisonous miasma that looked very deadly, and just the sheer confusion at where it found itself.
I could see the buildings begin to erode and the concrete literally disintegrate as the venom seeped into the surroundings.
Frankly, I think someone summoned It in the sewers or something. Easily a premeditated action, no way someone could 'accidently' summoning this thing right at this moment.
I unfurled my wings and took to the highest building I could get to within a few breaths to get a better idea of what was going on, because frankly, this whole thing was absurd.
I saw in a few directions, there were more pockets of chaos, buildings on fire, and magical attacks soaring through the air as several groups clashed. My attention was turned back to the large dragon-hydra thing that was starting to get rather ornery.
I just sighed as I saw some 'heroes' try to attack it, throwing what I considered to be cantrips at the thing. I spun my hat on my finger, watching the scene unfold with accumulating annoyance.
"What do you think Ddraig?"
[I met Yamata-No-Orochi on a few occasions, this thing's definitely pumping out poison reminiscent of it, though it's a very pale comparison.]
"Probably some kind of magical snake-creature-youkai, that was experimented on? Perhaps force fed some remains of the serpent dragon?"
[I wouldn't be surprised if it was originally a very – very distant relative, and they pushed some of that inside it to begin with.] Ddraig agreed. [Look at its heads and tails, they should be even, yet it has only 5 heads to its six tails, that is heavily mutated, and not in a good way.]
"Now that I take a closer look, some of its scales are.....dislocated and jutting out at weird angles, and there are some odd growths on parts of its body that look like bones."
[As much as I hate that stupid snake.....this thing just makes me angry. Even if left alone, it would probably die by itself in a few weeks.]
Just as Ddraig finished, one of the mouths opened up, and a condenses stream of green fire spewed out down the street. The surroundings didn't catch fire and burn, they dissolved.
"Is that...." Ñøv€lRapture marked the initial hosting of this chapter on Ñôv€lß¡n.
[Poison, yeah. Maybe it has some Hydra ancestry as well?] Ddraig pondered and I could only nod my head.
"Some unholy combination.....that isn't really unholy if I think about it. I mean, the serpent dragon was poisonous, but the Hydra, it was 'known' for its poison, even to an extent that gods feared it.....maybe whatever happened to this thing it merely latched onto Orochi's poison concept and that's how it mutated the way it did?"
Just as Ddraig said, this thing was breaking down and wouldn't last long by itself, I would put money that its own poison was eating away at it on the inside.
[Your guess is as good as mine, even as is, it couldn't compare in any way to that stupid snake.]
Hmm, yeah, Ddriag didn't really get along with other dragons.
I shook my head, I wasted enough time. I focused on my heart, allowing my magical energy to explode out. It only took a moment for all 5 heads of that things to dart towards my directions, eyes staring at me menacingly.
Having an artificial dragon heart does have its boons outside of the physical enhancements.
[Impressive to actually see it in action.] Ddraig commented. [The anti-dragon concepts really do devour anything remotely draconic. Perhaps, it is even worse for this 'lesser' dragon because it can't defend against such a thing even if it is slightly less effective in the end.]
I held out my hand, and Ascalon flew to me, fingers clutched around its grip. My knees bent and the air behind my exploded at my abrupt increase in speed. My arms moved with a speed that had taken this creature by surprise, I rained down slashes on its body before it could reach.
Several more heads dropped the ground around me and the whole creature finally fell over. Its tainted blood seeping out and creating an entirely toxic environment. Even my spell was having trouble containing this malevolent venom.
Well, not much I can do about that....still better than letting it roam free.
I sighed, kicking the corpse to make sure it was truly dead, but I doubt I would miss something like that again.
Call it a small bit of self-consciousness after that whole dragon fiasco.
[Feel better?]
"Meh." I replied, I just wasn't really into it. I mean I had fun.....I always like to test various magical things, but...
[It wasn't a challenge?]
".....maybe?" I thought over his words for a moment. "Do I desire a 'real' fight?" Or maybe I'm still just moping....honestly it could be both as well.
I don't know, I'm still just so...bleh.
I looked up around me and noticed people peeking out from hiding places. Magical barriers coming down, and heads poked out of windows.
But what I noticed immediately, were the phones taking pictures and being held up like they were recording.
Ah.....I forgot that was a thing here.
Devilnet or something, basically the supernatural version of the internet and various social medias. Yeah, devil basically corner the market on such things, and most other species are content to just use their products.
Well....fuck.
[Damn, should have used the Boosted Gear.]
Yeah, fuck that.
So...uh...what are the chances that no one got a good look at my face?
Ddraig just laughed.

So I moved everything today, and god damn am I exhausted, so today's chapter is pretty short. Mc remembers that he's in a modern world even if he's surrounded by supernatural. Time to become internet-famous.
