Chapter 274: Ramiro and the Wyvern Demonic Beast
With a mighty roar, Ramiro surged forward, bolstering the morale and strength of his allies while crushing down upon all enemy parties with a single skill.
–LionHeart's Cry–
Allies from every direction charged fiercely, unleashing volleys of powerful attacks, most of them directed toward the demonic beasts running rampant. Carlos Jr. took command of the Leon clan experts, roaring as he led from the front lines with spear in hand.
Sakurana and Willowna moved in perfect tandem, each leading their own subordinates as part of the core defensive force for the highly offensive Lion's Spearhearts. Their primary objective was clear and that was to watch for and intercept any attacks aimed at Ramiro. Ivorileaf, already experienced working with the two from previous battlefields, naturally fought alongside them, weaving in her various magics.
Sophia passionately summoned torrents of water magic while commanding her special mage subdivision within the Lion's Spearhearts. Carefully timed magical bombardments rained down across the battlefield, striking adversaries with ruthless efficiency.
Naturally, the enemy forces did not hold back. Though completely caught off guard by the sudden arrival of such powerful reinforcements, they quickly adapted, unleashing arrays of devastating attacks in response. All of this, however, occurred under the heavy debuffing pressure of Ramiro's LionHeart's Cry. This effect was especially pronounced among the demonic beasts, whose movements and attacks became visibly strained even as they lashed out violently.
Ramiro's sharp gaze swept across the battlefield before a fierce grin spread across his face. With a powerful leap, he shot into the air, his momentum heavy and overwhelming. Countless eyes locked onto him at once. He was one of the most terrifying figures present, after all. Even so, his sudden ascent was far faster than most could track, his blazing aura tearing through the skies.
Ahead of him, a Gold Tier 4 flying demonic beast was wreaking havoc, spewing destructive breaths of energy toward the ground below. It froze in shock as Ramiro appeared beneath it in an instant, hastily attempting to flee.
"Hahaha! You're not leaving, beast!" Ramiro bellowed disdainfully as he punched forward, forming a ki fist projection that slammed directly into the creature.
"Eeek!" the demonic beast shrieked in agony as its escape was forcefully halted.
Ramiro immediately caught up, landing atop its back before stomping down with crushing force. He launched himself forward again like a living missile, sending the beast plummeting toward the ground, its body on the verge of shattering from horrific injuries.
Within a span of just twenty-three seconds, Ramiro crashed through nine airborne demonic beasts of varying levels, nearly killing each one upon impact as he leapt from target to target. At last, he reached his true objective which was a peak Golden Lord demonic beast standing at the threshold of the Mortal Shedding realm.
Flames erupted around Ramiro as he laughed wildly. The massive demonic beast, resembling a wyvern, jolted in shock at the sight of the towering, beast-like human hurtling toward it with unstoppable momentum. With a thunderous roar, the wyvern erupted in brilliant light and charged to meet him head-on.
–Puño Llameante de León–
(Blazing Fist of León)
–Blazing Charge–
Ramiro and the wyvern collided, generating a violent shockwave laced with searing flames. When the firestorm finally dissipated, the wyvern was revealed with several bloody wounds torn into its body as it was sent crashing downward. Roaring in fury, it spread its wings and manipulated the wind with magic, barely managing to halt its descent.
At the same moment, Ramiro came crashing down from above, part of the chest plate of his armor caved inward and scorched, a searing flame still embedded in the metal.
Boooom!
The wyvern dropped again as Ramiro landed squarely on its back.
"Alright, you damned creature! From this moment on, you will serve as my mount!" Ramiro declared as his massive hands ignited with roaring ki. He drove them into the wyvern's scales, anchoring himself as he poured his energy directly into the beast's body.
With a pained roar, the wyvern went berserk, thrashing violently as it flew erratically through the skies.
"Get the hell off of me, you damned beast of a man!" the wyvern howled in agony and rage.
"Ohh? So now you can talk, huh?" Ramiro laughed fiercely. "Just give yourself up and be my mount!"
"I will never submit to you, bastard!" the wyvern roared back in defiance, unleashing massive blasts of flaming energy from its maw. The attacks exploded wildly across the battlefield, smashing into demonic beasts and other forces alike in reckless fury.
"You will submit! Don't you understand my feelings? 4 out of my 5 colleagues all have mounts now! Look at that very abnormal Skycleaving Roc beneath Eri- Ugh, The White Corrosive Flame Empress's feet?! Where the hell did it come from?! Then there is Elchris, Orochicanda, and let's not forget Sha- Uuuggh, Crimson Star Fang and the various creatures she tamed! More than 1 mount?! I refuse to let tonta espada negra de diablo get one before meeeee!" Ramiro fiercely roared with bloodshot eyes as he injected a far higher concentration of energy into the wyvern.
(Translation: Stupid Black Devil Sword)
"Eeeeeek!! Grrraaaah! What the hell are you even talking about! Just get off of me damnit! Ahhh! It hurts! Heeeeelp!" The wyvern loudly retorted as the pain became far more intense. In the end he began pleading for help.
The many onlookers throughout the battlefield wore strange expressions though many of the enemies felt a heavier sense of dread. Many enemies wanted to aim many of their attacks at them but it was difficult given they were all being targeted by their own opponents on top of Ramiro and the wyvern moving extremely swiftly through the air with no patterns. Numerous flying demonic beasts began flying towards them unleashing barrages of attacks just for 85% of the ones that landed to only hit the Wyvern.
"What the hell are you bastards doing!? You're trying to kill me and not him?!" The wyvern furiously wailed.
"Brother Shullock, you're a much larger target than him and you're moving so much…" A Gold tier 3 demonic beast complained.
"Hooorraaaaaah!! Become one with Leon!! Descendant of dragons, fight for this Leon!" Ramiro roared with a fierce beaming smile.
Suddenly the wyvern exploded into a bright light filled with power as it roared in agonizing pain. A huge influx of energy stirred throughout the region as if being devoured in one spot. The entire battlefield became completely thrown off as torrents of mighty winds engulfed the area.
Finally, after a bit of time passed the bright light greatly dimmed. From within the dimming light a large figure with larger wings than before appeared. Its body had grown 2 sizes larger with thicker scales, longer arms and legs, a piercing gaze, and a sharp tail with a spike at the end.
Ramiro stood up as he'd been knocked away from the spot he was gripping. He felt his blood erupting in a strange turmoil and he felt as if he'd somehow grown stronger. His focus wasn't on that though. He sensed the creature beneath his feet as he watched on with a dazed expression unable to comprehend what had just transpired.
The creature appeared to look more like a dragon compared to before though there were still a number of things off about it that didn't exactly scream dragon to those in the know. In the first place dragons were not demonic beasts but there were demonic beasts with draconic bloodlines.
The wyvern still slightly grimaced in pain but a massive joy could faintly be seen on it's expression.
"... Hehehehe… HAHAHAHA!!! I've broken through into the Mortal Shedding realm! And not only that but my bloodline evolved!! Heeee!!! I take back what I said earlier… Brother umm Ramiro was it? I, Shullock, am forever in your debt. Let's massacre this trash that doesn't know what's good for them!" Shullock roared with great eagerness as a towering aura radiated from its body.
"Brother S-Shullock?! How could you!?" A demonic beast roared in disbelief.
Suddenly a voice erupted from the distance among the demonic beasts. "You damned traitor. I will be sure to wipe you and your clansmen out."
"Shut the hell up you trash! You, a Mortal Lord, couldn't even bring yourself to attack Brother Ramiro here and now you want to make threats? Heh. You heard him guys! He already labeled you traitors so how about we betray them thoroughly!" Shullock roared defiantly as power surged through his body.
The various demonic beasts that resembled wyverns each looked at each other before making a decision. Currently, Shullock was the strongest among their clan at least among those here so how could they not follow him?
Disbelief once again appeared on many of the expressions of the enemy forces against the White Star Radiance and their allies as strong feelings of retreat were now felt.
Ramiro was completely spacing out at the turn of events before shaking his head and going with the flow.
"Hahahaha! As expected of my partner! Fine then. Shullock was it? Let's crush all of our enemies! I, The Dragon Spear Hero of Leon, will challenge my enemies to death! Let's gooo!" Ramiro declared with a heroic grin.
"Hahaha Lets crush these ants my powerful partner! Dragon and Lion! Kill!!!!" Shullock roared as he charged forward without care.
This day would go on to cement yet another legend for the eccentric Dragon Spear Hero of Leon.
