Supreme Lord: I can extract everything!

With the Dragonians paralyzed and transformed into external storages for Michael to use, both Michael and the Azure Quetzalcoatl could focus on the Dragys Lordess easily.

Michael appeared next to the Dragys Lordess and applied Unlimited Enhancement using the Divine Dragys' energy and lifeforce to augment Seer. He unleashed Basilisk's Petrification, one of the Soullife Arts he could only use when Curse Fusion merged Jormungandr's eyes with Michael's. Basilisk's Petrification was not a perfect Soullife Arts, but activated through a Beast God's Essence and the energy and lifeforce of 10 Divine Lifeforms, it inflicted considerable damage.

The Dragys Lordess was paralyzed. Her energy system looked like the paralyzation wouldn't last long, but that was fine. One second was already more than Michael needed to do some considerable damage. He appeared before her, ready to pierce her heart, when something about her energy system changed. It was ignited, and the paralyzation effect…burned to a crisp. The paralyzation effect decreased drastically, forcing Michael to act fast.

'The fiery armor is weaker…here!'

Michael stabbed and cut the Dragys Lordess several times. He could have pierced one of her vital spots, but the damage he had inflicted with five minor attacks quickly was more potent. Five small cuts appeared on her arms and legs. Qi, Jormungandr's poison, and True Extraction Essence entered her body through each of them.

Even though the Dragys Lordess had higher resistance to poison and the other attacks, she wasn't immune. The Qi affected her as it ruptured, tearing her blood vessels and energy paths open, and the True Extraction Essence – the Essence of another Beast God – wasn't something she could block in its entirety. It was simply not possible for a Tier-8 powerhouse. Not without first removing the root of all problems.

The paralyzation wore off before Michael disappeared again. He was ready to use Cosmic Stride, move out of the danger zone, and give the Azure Quetzalcoatl the space it needed to attack when the Dragys Lordess counterattacked. Micheal had been too greedy. He'd planned to attack the Dragys Lordess a sixth time and suffered the consequences of his actions. A massive saber appeared out of nowhere. It was a Legendary Divine-rank Artifact that whizzed through the air silently.

A pulse of energy swept through the surroundings as the Dragys Lordess brandished her weapon. She attacked, another pulse of energy erupting from the Legendary Artifact, pressing against Michael's blade when it was about to hit the Dragys Lordess. Michael's blade was flung black, forcing him to retract the Aethyr back into his body.

He resummoned a portion of Aethyr quickly to form a shield, but the massive saber cut through it. The blade severed Michael's arm at the shoulder and released another pulse of energy once a fountain of blood spurted through the air. It twisted in the air and changed trajectory suddenly. The blade aimed for his leg and moved too fast for Michael to react. No. He could have reacted but didn't when a plan manifested in his mind.

It was a stupid plan, but Michael knew it would work. The Dragys Lordess grinned foolishly when his leg was severed, thinking she found a way to restrain his teleportation Soultrait Symbol. Maybe injuring Michael would have been enough to temporarily seal his teleportation Soultrait if Cosmic Stride had been a 3-Star or 4-Star Soutrait. But Cosmic was much more than that.

However, the Dragys Lordess didn't know that. She didn't know anything.

Once his leg was severed, Michael waited a second. Then, he pushed the Dragys Lordess away with a shockwave of Qi and teleported away using Cosmic Stride a moment later. The Dragys Lordess' grin widened at the realization of his 'conditions' to use his teleportation Soultrait as he disappeared.

His severed arm and leg were teleported back to where they belonged as well. Scales grew from his body to pull his severed body parts back together, 'sewing' them before using Greater Enhancement on the advanced healing serum to mend his severed limbs again.

Michael's body was back to its peak in no time. The Dragys Lordess noticed that, but she smiled nonetheless. A plan formed in her rattling mind, and she would implement it shortly. If not for the Azure Quetzalcoatl bothering her.

It was a fight, two against one, and the Azure Quetzalcoatl was far from dead. The damages sustained through Unlimited Enhancement increased considerably by the minute, but the Guardian Beast was still fine. It smashed heavily into the Dragys Lordess, hurling her through the air before a massive azure flame shrouded the Lordess entirely.

The Dragys Lordess took a deep breath to swallow the azure flames. She consumed them, ignoring the tremendous pain as her mouth, throat, and lungs were burned. She didn't die swallowing the azure flames and even managed to devour them once they were deep enough in her body for her internal flames to reach. Still, the damage caused by the azure flames wasn't minor. But once devoured, the azure flames burned through the Qi, and bits of True Extraction Essence and poison curse power coursed through her. The poison worked slower, and the True Extraction Essence's potency decreased alongside. Michael frowned deeply at the Dragys Lordess' reckless action until he realized that the Dragys Lordess could consume flames and transform them into raw power.

The Dragys Lordess' physical prowess increased. Therefore, despite losing lifeforce and energy through True Extraction Essence and her senses being dulled by Jormungandr's poison, the Dragys Lordess gained strength. The dulled senses helped her endure the pain caused by the Azure Quetzalcoatl's flames.

She roared in anger and flashed through the air. To others, it looked like the Dragys Lordess had disappeared, but Michael saw her through Seer. True Vision showed him everything down to the finest detail.

The Dragys Lordess was preparing an onslaught of attacks while charging up to him with a ridiculous tempo. Her top speed surprised Michael greatly, but he was prepared for everything, even more so when a shortsword was conjured in her left hand. She wielded the massive saber with her right and swung it through the air in a beautiful arc when she appeared before him.

The blade hummed and pulsed as Michael conjured another Aethyr Blade to block the attack. Several energy pulses pushed back his weapon, and his arm was cut through again. But this time, the Dragys Lordess unleashed a series of attacks, severing both his legs in one swoop.

The Dragys Lordess didn't want to lose her momentum to attack Michael with the massive saber again. She might have had enough energy to do so, but her senses were dulled, and she didn't want to miss her opportunity to kill Michael. She had one change, or the situation would escalate. The Beast God poison and True Extraction Essence were causing great harm and would lower her combat prowess to a new low within the next sixty seconds. In sixty seconds, Michael would be strong enough to kill her.

Thus, charging her shortsword with most of her remaining momentum and energy, it whizzed forward and pierced through Michael's chest, penetrating his heart smoothly.

The Dragys Lordess hissed in excitement. She won! She defeated this weird Lord controlling the monsters of the Untamed Jungle. He was finally dead!

Or so she thought.

Michael's eyes widened, but the devilish grin blossoming exposed his true feelings.

"I have two hearts, bitch!" He announced while a fang shot out from the back of his hand, piercing the Dragys Lordess' heart.
