I gazed at the scene before me.
The massive white snake didn't attack immediately; instead, it moved its nine heads in different directions, analyzing me with eighteen blood-red eyes.
Eyes containing only pure curiosity and courtesy toward the strong.
Don't act all polite when you're just an Evil Dragon.
"Then, shall we begin?"
Crack──! Cr-r-rack──!
Feeling no further need for conversation, I immediately transformed into the Chaos Dragon.
As my massive form was revealed, the earth screamed, crushed under its weight.
"Grrrrrrrr..."
[Hoh, is that your true form? Truly a hideous yet beautiful chaos.]
"Thanks for the compliment. Then, here I come."
Just as I was about to move, Orochi kicked off the ground and sprang out first.
The movement was closer to a massive landslide than that of a snake.
[No, this body moves first!]
KABOOOOOOOM───!
Orochi didn't just charge simply.
Nine heads lunged at me, drawing different trajectories as if they were nine independent dragons.
From above, jaws opened aiming for my head; from below, the tail swung to bind my legs; and from the sides, sharp fangs dug into my flanks.
A perfect coordinated attack with nowhere to dodge, like a massive wave trying to swallow me whole.
"Not bad."
I spewed dozens of shadow tentacles from my back, striking and grabbing the heads rushing toward me.
Simultaneously, I blocked the tail attack with my wings.
[Grrrrr...!]
The heads caught in my tentacles struggled and tried to bite me, but it was useless.
"Is this all? I'm disappointed."
[Hasty judgment is forbidden.]
It was that moment.
A fang of one head biting my tentacle pierced through my scales and dug into my flesh.
A very minute wound.
But through that wound, something flowing from its venomous fang infiltrated my body.
"This is..."
[How is my Poison Blood? The taste of this body's blood that melts even gods.]
The poison that burrowed into my body spread throughout my entire system in an instant.
The spread poison began to destroy every single cell in my body, and given time, every cell would eventually be destroyed, leading to death.
"Ha, an interesting ability."
But my body is already a chaotic aggregate of countless mixed abilities.
No poison works on me.
[...Why? Why are you fine? My blood should definitely have been encroaching upon your body.]
"I just healed it with the Grail before your blood could consume me. By the way, didn't you say you'd make me your mate if I lost? This looks like an attempt to kill."
[To heal my poison so easily, even with a Longinus...! You are truly an absurd existence. And I simply judged that while you might be incapacitated, you would not die.]
"Is that so? Then, let's wrap this up."
[No, not yet!]
Orochi's nine heads opened their mouths in unison.
[Take this Poison Blood Breath, containing everything this body has!]
KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM────!!!
Nine streams of Poison Blood Breath merged into one, becoming a massive river of death that washed over me.
The earth grazed by the breath lost its vitality and rotted black, and the smell of death hung heavy in the air.
I did not dodge.
"Kuh...!"
The river of poison blood began to melt my chaotic flesh.
It hurts quite a bit.
I thought I didn't feel pain much anymore, but I definitely feel this.
[Hahaha! So even you cannot withstand my full power!]
"You're noisy."
From within my melting body, I unleashed the power of the Grail.
Vwooooooooom─────!!!
Rusty-gold light burst from my body, beginning to push away the poison blood encroaching on me.
Soon, the light of the Grail completely purified the poison blood consuming my body.
[Impossible...! Purifying my poison that kills even gods?!]
"Your poison is certainly strong. But, that's as far as it goes."
With my body perfectly regenerated without a single scratch, I looked down at Orochi.
"Now, it's my turn."
I opened my maw.
Inside, light and darkness, Demonic Power and Light Power—all the abilities I possessed swirled into a single singularity.
"This is the end. Taste true chaos."
KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM────!!!
My Chaos Breath swallowed the shocked Orochi whole.
[AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH────!!!]
Along with the scream, Orochi's pure white massive body became tattered and crashed to the ground.
I slowly returned to my human form and stood by the head of the fallen Orochi.
"Now, the match is over."
[...It is my loss.]
"Yeah, it's your defeat. So, shall we carry out the contract as promised?"
