Reborn as a DRAGON

Chapter 322: Teamwork

With a surge of determination, I swiftly joined the battle, fully unleashing the power of my cosmic mana. The connection between my soul space and the vast cosmos resonated, granting me unparalleled strength. Seizing the opportunity created by Ynos's forceful push, I wasted no time in initiating my attack.

The Shade, sensing the impending danger, attempted to evade my assault. A crease formed on my forehead, realizing that this opponent possessed the ability to anticipate my moves, this had never happened before as the cosmic mana was not something that easy to sense. But then again, the bastard did survive a planet's destruction. However, luck was not on its side. Just as it sought to evade, Sidus, with his shadowy form, appeared alongside the abomination. Dark, ethereal appendages materialized, restraining the monster and buying me the crucial moment I needed. Without hesitation, I guided the concentrated beam of cosmic mana, directing it toward the hapless Shade.

As my beam of cosmic mana descended upon the Shade, its upper body vanished into nothingness, consumed by the overwhelming power. However, the cunning abomination managed to push its arm forward, narrowly evading the full impact of the cosmic attack. In a desperate bid to escape, one of its claws disconnected from its body, scuttling away in terror. The eye embedded at the end of the claw darted around, searching for a means of retreat as it retreated into the distance.

I was about to give chase, when an enormous dragon of vibrant orange color descended upon the scene, seemingly appearing out of thin air. Its massive jaws opened wide, swiftly swallowing the detached claw in a single gulp. Without hesitation, the dragon propelled itself toward another section of the battlefield, leaving me momentarily stunned by its unexpected intervention.

Ynos's voice resounded in my mind, brimming with disbelief, "He stole our prey!"

Chuckling softly, I replied, "Now is not the time for that. Let's keep moving!" Sidus silently materialized by my side, affirming his agreement with a nod.

With me leading the way, Ynos flew to my right while Sidus positioned himself on my left. We synchronized our mana with the beating of our wings, using it to enhance our propulsion through the vast expanse of space. Flying in this weightless environment proved to be more challenging than soaring through the skies of a planet.

The space battlefield was a chaotic scene, with an array of dragons converging on the remaining dark shadowy figures of the Shades that managed to withstand Grandfather's initial attack.

"There!" Ynos's voice resonated in my mind once more, drawing my attention to the direction he pointed. I followed his gaze and spotted Breta, engaged in a fierce battle against a horde of decaying avian creatures. These grotesque monsters possessed tail appendages with humanoid faces, their mouths opening in silent cries and moans.

I swiftly altered my trajectory, and my siblings swiftly adjusted their flight paths accordingly. As I focused my gaze, a luminescent intensity shimmered within my eyes, and I delved deep into the recesses of my soul space, stirring the dormant essence of the poison dragon within. Instantly, a swirling mist of purple poison unfurled from my scales as I descended upon the horde of grotesque creatures. The decay consuming their bodies rapidly intensified, culminating in a violent explosion that engulfed them in a cloud of dark fog.

In contrast, Sidus stealthily materialized behind Breta, his form blending seamlessly with his surroundings, with the help of the darkness of his obsidian scales. With deft movements, he defied detection as he maneuvered amidst the swirling flock. Breta's gaze briefly met his, conveying silent understanding, before she nodded her approval. In response, Sidus reciprocated the gesture, then initiated his strategy. An aura, distinct from the ominous presence of the Shades, emanated from his being. Radiating from his core, it engulfed the frenzied monsters dashing in every direction. As the aura spread, the creatures were enveloped within its grasp, and their figures, along with Sidus's own, vanished into thin air. After a brief interval, Sidus reemerged, but the rotting monsters that had plagued the area were no more.

Ynos, on the other hand, embodied unwavering determination. Like an unyielding mountain, he descended upon the chaos with unwavering resolve. A subtle golden aura enveloped his form, forming a protective barrier that repelled the relentless onslaught of the monsters while allowing his own attacks to pass unhindered. With calculated precision, he utilized every weapon at his disposalhis formidable claws, his mighty horns, his razor-sharp teeth, and his powerful tail. His entire being transformed into an unstoppable force, a relentless machine of destruction that carved its way through the battlefield. But his prowess extended beyond sheer physical might. Drawing upon his mastery of earth mana, he manipulated the larger fragments of the shattered planet, directing them towards his adversaries. In a spectacle that left me awestruck, I witnessed him employ two massive fragments to pulverize a group of Shades, reducing them to naught but a paste-like substance that dissipated into the surrounding dark fog.

'When did these cute bastards become so strong?' I inwardly chuckled.

Breta, refusing to be overshadowed, emanated an aura of divine energy that created a formidable barrier around her. The encroaching Shades found it increasingly difficult to approach her, prompting many to attempt escape amidst the chaos. Yet, Breta remained resolute, refusing to allow their retreat. Her radiant form, reminiscent of a brilliant star, streaked across the battlefield with unparalleled speed. The spear she wielded became an extension of her grace, moving with such elegance and precision that it reaped the lives of the monsters with effortless efficiency. Her every strike was a testament to her skill and unwavering resolve, leaving no doubt that she was a force to be reckoned with.

Every member of our group strategically positioned themselves on the battlefield, exhibiting an impressive display of coordination and synergy. As we engaged the flock of rotting monsters, our movements were perfectly synchronized, complementing each other's attacks flawlessly. The battlefield became a symphony of destruction, with our combined efforts reducing the monsters to mere fragments of their former selves. Although not all of us joined, our well-orchestrated teamwork... Ynos seemed to revel in the chaos, finding sheer delight in the exhilaration of battle rather than adhering to a specific strategy, which made it harder to coordinate with him.

'Well, as long as he stays close then it shouldn't be much of a problem,' I inwardly noted.

It didn't take long before the last remnants of the rotting birds were swiftly vanquished by the potent venomous fog emanating from my poison dragon. The haze receded back into my scales, regaining control of the toxic energy within. As the immediate threat was neutralized, I shifted my attention to another section of the battlefield, eager to contribute further to the ongoing conflict.
