I Received System to Become Dragonborn

Chapter 648 Extinguished

Thalrok's infernal red aura flared violently, his flames reaching a power that actually managed to sent Erend and Eccar staggering back. The oppressive heat turned their scales red-hot, searing even their draconic defenses. Both Dragonborn knew this was no ordinary fight like when they fight in the realm before. The stakes had risen and holding back was no longer an option.

Eccar growled, the determination in his voice cutting through the inferno. "No more playing around!"

Erend relized what he meant. Without hesitation, he summoned the full might of his Dragon form. His body expanded and shifted, scales thickening and darkening into hues of deep brown and black. The transformation wasn't just size and power this time. Intricate,glowing patterns of ancient earthen energy that wasn't there before etched themselves across his massive form, pulsing with powerful Magic.

Erend who right now locked in a fierce exchange with Thalrok barely noticed the transformation behind him. His fists were burned with fire and lightning as he blocked Thalrok's relentless attack and each clashed shaking the earth beneath them. He was buying Eccar precious moments to complete the change.

When the transformation was complete, Eccar's roar was heard through the blazing forest. The sound of his roar shaking the ground and extinguishing flames in its immediate vicinity. The sheer force of it made Thalrok pause, his gaze snapping upward to look at Eccar's Dragon form.

For a brief moment, awe flickered across Thalrok's twisted features. His bloodshot eyes widened and his fiery aura seemed to waver. But the awe quickly changed into something far more primal. It was a seething hatred that transformed his expression into a mask of inhuman rage.

"DRAAAAGON!" Thalrok screamed with guttural roar full of hate.

Thalrok's aura surged and in an instant dozens then hundreds of crimson orbs formed around him, each one radiating destructive heat. With a sweep of his hand, he unleashed them all at once like a deadly barrage aimed directly at Eccar. The orbs streaked through the air like molten comets and slamming into Eccar's massive body.

Eccar staggered, the impact driving him back and tearing through the forest below. The glowing patterns on his scales absorbed much of the assault but even his formidable defenses couldn't negate all of it. Roaring in defiance, Eccar planted his massive claws into the ground, anchoring himself against the onslaught.

But Thalrok was relentless. Before Eccar could recover he was already arrived in front of him. The crimson-coated man's body had begun to morph, twisted further by the godly fragments he had absorbed that actually not yet completed. His face and limbs bore grotesque burns of living flame, parts of his flesh replaced entirely by red fire that seemed to have a will of its own.

Thalrok's form was no longer entirely human, and his movements reflected that. He moved like a creature born of chaos and destruction closing the distance to Eccar in a blink. His fiery fists struck with terrible speed and force, each blow igniting explosions that lit the forest.

Erend seeing Eccar under siege also roared and launched himself into the fray. His red-and-black Dragon scales glinted with energy as he unleashed a storm of fire and lightning at Thalrok from behind. The blasts struck him and forcing the fiery figure to divert his attention momentarily.

"Eccar, now!" Erend shouted, charging forward with renewed ferocity.

The clash between Dragonborn and the corrupted Thalrok tearing through the forest and sending waves of fire and energy into the sky.

Thalrok faltered, his fiery aura flickering with instability. The combined assault from Erend and Eccar began to overwhelm the corrupted being. Seizing the moment, both Dragonborn pressed their attack, determined to exploit his weakness.

Erend's form changed, his body crackling with arcs of electricity as he activated Dragon Transformation into the Lightning Dragon. His blue and white scales gleamed with an otherworldly glow now and crackling bolt coursing across his body. Lightning Dragon's speed would grant him what they needed in this situation.

As the transformation completed, a surge of electric energy exploded outward, illuminating the battlefield in a blinding flash. The air vibrated with raw power of lightni and even Thalrok's hateful gaze wavered once more as he took in Erend's new form. His already-burned body began to crack further, the corruption unable to keep pace with the strain.

Erend roared, his voice merging with the thunder that echoed across the burning forest. Without hesitation he unleashed a devastating pillar of lightning from his jaws. The bolt struck Thalrok the blinding speed of the attack leaving no time for the corrupted figure to defend himself. The impact sent Thalrok hurtling into the ground with a force that shook the earth.

BOOM!

Eccar who seeing the opening leaped into the air with powerful flap of his wings. His hands become one as he descended to the ground, bringing both fists together into a hammer strike.

BOOM!

The ground beneath them cratered as Eccar's attack landed squarely on Thalrok's body laying on the ground trying to get up.

The battlefield fell momentarily silent after Eccar landed hisattac except for the crackling of residual flames and lightning. Thalrok's body writhed, his crimson flames now sputtering and dimming. The relentless barrage from the two Dragonborn proved too much for his unstable and incomplete transformation to endure.

Eccar didn't let this change go just like that. With another bellowing roar he drove his claws into the ground around Thalrok, pinning him in place.

"Erend, finish it!"

He said to Erend.

Erend who still hovered above them with lightning surging through his body in a brilliant display of power heard that message. He could see the cracks spreading across Thalrok's body, the fiery corruption retreating, unable to maintain its grip on the man's crumbling body. Erend unleashed another bolt of pure lightning, its brightness momentarily turning the battlefield to day.

BOOM!

The strike landed with amazing force, erupting in a deafening boom that sent shockwaves rippling outward. The corrupted flames that once clung to Thalrok evaporated into nothingness, leaving behind a smoldering, broken figure that seems unmoved.

For a moment, the two Dragonborn stood in silence, their colossal forms towering over the battered remains of their foe. The forest around them was scorched and broken, but it was clear that right now, Thalrok's flames had been extinguished.

Erend and Eccar loomed over Thalrok's crumbling body. The avatar's human body had borne more than it could withstand, reduced to charred flesh barely holding its form. Though his fiery essence still struggled to reignite, it was clear that he has lost.

"Is it over?"

Eccar asked.

"Not yet,"

Kaelor said.

"The power of the god within him hasn't been fully extinguished. You must bury its remains before its essence finds another host."

"Where?"

Erend asked, his voice laced with urgency.

"Follow the flame,"

Kaelor instructed.

The Dragonborn took to the skies and in the distance they saw a crimson blaze still burning, stark against the blackened remains of the forest. As they descended, the source of the fire became clear: an enormous skeleton wreathed in flames.

"What is that?"

Erend asked.

Kaelor's voice returned, heavy with grim knowledge.

"The remains of the Fire God, I have slain long ago. Its power was still exist. I buried it before because my strength alone was insufficient to destroy it at that time. This time, you must ensure that its destroyed."

"You're saying we can destroy it?"

Erend asked.

"You can try,"

Kaelor replied.

"But I think you'll need to combine your strength. It will resist, even in death."

The two Dragonborn exchanged a glance. With synchronized nods, they turned back to the flaming skeleton.

Erend stepped forward, his Lightning Dragon form crackling with power. Electricity surged along his body converging at his open jaws. With a deafening roar, he unleashed a torrent of lightning that struck the skeleton.

Eccar wasted no time. With a thunderous bellow, he slammed his claws into the ground, channeling his power. Jagged spikes of earth erupted beneath the skeleton, striking it.

The combined assault began to take its toll. Cracks spread across the massive bones, and the flames flickered wildly as if struggling to maintain their hold

Erend surged forward, his claws glowing with lightning. He struck at the skeleton, each blow accompanied by bursts of electricity. Eccar followed, his massive tail sweeping across the burning remains with crushing force.

Together, their attacks grew more relentless, a storm of power and fury directed at the lingering essence of the God.

Finally, with a resounding crack that echoed through the skies, the skeleton began to collapse. The flames that clung to it roared one last time before extinguishing entirely, leaving only ash and shattered bone. The oppressive heat dissipated, replaced by an eerie stillness.

Kaelor's voice returned, softer this time.

"It is done. The god's essence has been scattered, its power reduced to nothing. You have ended what I could not."

Erend and Eccar stood amidst the ruins of the battlefield.

"We're not done yet,"

Eccar muttered, glancing at the destruction around them.

"No,"

Erend agreed, his gaze fixed on the horizon.
