Chapter 2036 2036. Carved Path

It wasn\'t that Midnight wanted to show off. She had been calm for the entire time. Calm when they had been pushed back by the waves of salt water. Calm when they had seen the many vampiric monsters showing themselves from the ruins. Calm when she remembered that Onyx was unconscious and resting behind them due to all his hard work. 

But when she had felt the pains and worries of Walker and the rest of the party about the fact that the vampire race was literally being enslaved by their very own kind turned monster, she had decided to give this everything she had. Use every strength she had to break through the hurdles in front of them. To make it toward that castle ruins where they could destroy the evil within. 

If she was able to handle all these issues with the greatest strength that she had grown, then she would be the one that could save these people. She had been lucky enough to be born and find people that she could grow with. She was blessed and became the first hero of her kind. Beyond that, she had lived and taken on so many new aspects of the world. 

Why would she feel any kind of happiness if there were others missing the same opportunities that she had been blessed with? That was what her mind rested on now. 

So much pain had come from this demon king or demon lord. Whatever he was, it was evil and it was hurting people all over the world. Even those that could not think enough to understand what was happening to them. That hurt her more than anything. 

With all that, she was forced to focus on the fact that this vampiric monster was being sent at them. It lacked the mind and was just a body. If the demon lord managed to get what he wanted from the vampire monster within that castle, it would become stronger. Become more dangerous. 

Just the level of danger and control that it had now was enough to show that there was an ancient evil well beyond what they knew here. That was why she swallowed any thoughts of working together with the others. Not because she did not trust their strength, but because she would carve the path for them to reach the real threat at full strength. 

"Trust Midnight, she has more to work with than you think." Walker\'s words stopped Remey from trying to back Midnight up. Through his bond with her, he could sense that she was going to use something interesting. 

Most of the royal dragons had helped Midnight. The same with their dragon champions and draconic guardians. Midnight had been the one to greatly learn from all of them. Especially as a true dragon champion. 

Midnight wanted to live up to what that meant. Live up to the title that she was given and promise that she would stand tall in the name of dragon kind. She was already doing so in raising the hatchlings that would have been tossed away. Preventing them from being rogue dragons without their minds to keep them sane. Stop them from becoming monsters without purpose. 

"Gil, fire an arrow toward her and watch Midnight fight." Gil didn\'t ignore what Walker said since it sounded odd. Instead, he trusted his family with this and fired a single arrow made of the light ash wood. The arrow was not meant to kill, instead, it appeared flying through the air right in front of Midnight between her and the vampiric ogre that had changed the direction of its attack on Remey who had dashed away. 

Midnight\'s sharp teeth shattered the arrow as she swallowed it. This would have shocked everyone, but from the way that Su looked at Midnight, everyone understood that the reaction was pride. "She finally managed to learn how to do that, huh?" 

"Learn what?" Remey was a little out of breath when she jumped back to the rest of the party. She was unsure what was happening. Gil was the same while Walker had a vague idea. 

"It\'s a special dragon breath skill called item destruction. It makes the properties of whatever is being destroyed by their flames help their dragon breath. The last nature dragon had a true dragon champion too. That dragon was able to use this skill with various items instead of being able to use a normal dragon breath. It was a major aspect of dragon history that no one was able to understand." 

"But when the royal dragons began tio experiment to gain strength before they met us, they managed to match their own elemental affinities with the skill and make their dragon breath more unique. But they didn\'t see it as valuable enough. For Midnight though, this is ideal."

The white purifying flames that Midnight was using focused on light elemental mana. She had used this sort of dragon breath before. Walker had even trained her with light related flames so that they could both better grasp the light and fire combination of elemental mana attacks. 

But the idea to mix the destruction of an item, such as the light ash wood arrow, in to the purifying flame breath, was amazing. The flames had taken on a greater and more intimidating light elemental mana. More dense. Stronger overall. 

The dense white flames from Midnight\'s breath met the large hand of the vampiric ogre which was trying to smash her head. Midnight just kept forward with her breath and used her claws to dig in to the ground. It made every step burnaway the ogre\'s arm more and more. 

When she stopped and took a breath, the ogre was missing an arm. Completely unable to regenerate the arm with the incredibly powerful regeneration abilities that it had. The light elemental mana had been the weakness that the vampiric affliction it had was. But beyond that, the burning also stopped the potential for easy regeneration. 

The ogre roared. Clearly angry that it had been so harmed. The next second, the ogre jumped with its other hand coming downwards toward Midnight with its full weight. Unfortunately, the dull mentality of the ogre was allowing it to act in anger. The control of the monstrous vampire behind it was not enough to allow even this monster to act with higher intelligence apparently. 

Midnight\'s claws had becoming covered in the same white purifying flames with extremely powerful purifying strength. She had allowed some of the flames to cover her flames as she had done before. Using her training to split her attention and control her own skills was like second nature now. Therefore, she was already prepared for her follow up attack. The combination that matched the fire breath she had already used. 

Using her powerful wings, Midnight dodged the attack and met the ogres head face to face. Her claws spreading out to rend through more and more of his face. The flames slowly sparking and burning in to the vampiric afflicted body that should have been able to regenerate. 

Midnight was the best opponent to handle this monster other than Remey. And in just a few short attacks, Midnight had left the vampiric ogre with devastating injuries. So badly that it couldn\'t even move or see. 

When she saw this, she stomped right on to the chest of the massive vampirig ogre. Her jaws opening before she used her sharp teeth to tear away the space where the heart was. This allows Gil to fire the second arrow while Midnight began to walk ahead of the party. 

The ogre\'s heart being destroyed and stopping it from ever regenerating whatsoever. Midnight just walking ahead with an air of pride and power. She was the true dragon champion. Her skills were both the history of the dragons themselves. But she was also a hero. She could not let an evil win. She must rise above them and ensure the safety of all. 

"It\'s time we keep moving." Walker silently praised Midnight with how much she had grown. She was a truly powerful dragon that deserved every single good thing said about her. Truly deserved the many different praises of all Genesis had to offer. 

This battle was not over though. There was more ahead. Many more vampiric monsters that Midnight was already slashing down with her claws. She was carving the path.
