The Last Primal

(AN: 3 more chapters coming tonight... well in my timezone at least. I was planning for a mass release whilst on a short week-long vacation with my family, only to realize that its the last day of the month. Apologies, but its 40 degrees celsius here for like the 3rd day in a row, its like hell on Earth!)

----

The ensuing battle between the church's so called executioner force and the unknown group of strangers on the long street have alarmed all the hidden and public forces of Ugburg City!

Dark clouds interweaved with occasional flashes of lightning, streaking through the heavy, tense air like electric pythons.

The world flickered intermittently with bright flashes of light and darkness. Shadows, like warning omens, filled the long street.

The battle continued relentlessly and tragically. All the warriors of both sides and factions were seemingly already at the limits of their strength.

Lady Dara and the rest of Aiden's captains and servants were filled with injuries. While their hastily made battle formation was still surviving, it was not going to last for much longer.

On the other side of the battlefield, Aiden grew fiercer the longer the fight dragged on. He had managed to hold out till now thanks to his robust draconic bloodline and terrifying physique, suppressing both Elder Loran and Elder Zhorl instead.

The situation was still undecided.

Whichever side of the battlefield came out victorious first would affect the outcome of the entire situation!

Truth be told, for Aiden, it wouldn't have been that hard to win his battle if he were willing to risk everything. He could always shed his pretenses and reveal his true self and put an end to this farce.

Yet, he did not want to do that. It would be better to use as a last resort, a last ditch, ultimate final trump card. If he did that, he would not only become the mass target and face immense difficulties advancing later on in the ancient burial site. Not only would it risk everything he had meticulously planned out, but it would also cause him to fail his system assigned main quests as well.

Such an action would bring forth serious consequences. Unless he had no other choice, Aiden did not want to take that option.

As the leader of the most prominent, and fearsome force of the church, Elder Loran also recognized the circumstances and declared loudly.

"[Reptilian] Factions residing in Ugburg listen up! All of you who are watching currently listen to my voice! As long as you are willing to come and help us kill these group of vile heathens we swear to give you privileged status in the upcoming ruins contention. A group of bishops and us the archbishops swear to accompany you and serve you for the duration of the event wholeheartedly!"

"[Reptilian] Just as my brother said, we will protect you, and fight your enemies together as long as you come to our aid now and clean the streets of this ugly scum!" Elder Zhorl quickly understood the situation and joined in as well shouting his promises alongside Elder Loran's. "[Reptilian] We will be immensely grateful for the honorable brothers and sisters that decide to come to our aid! To the side of justice! In addition, if anyone manages to kill this… this masked invader, I personally offer an Energy Crystal from my personal collection as my honest gratitude!"

The moment he said that, an uproar broke out!

Initially, the factions and gathered town men were merely here to watch the show. But now, some of them were starting to be tempted. Squinted gazes and shifty eyes were darting left and right looking for compatriots, newfound brethren willing to join alongside them to the scuffle.

"[Reptilian] Look, there! Pei Longtail and his sect of Crystal Palace Sect have arrived with his men!"

"[Reptilian] Look there! The Dark Lord himself from the Malefic Demon clan have decided to show up as well!"

The sudden arrival and gathering of multiple top factions on the long street of Ugburg City added an additional layer of complexity to the situation.

Even Aiden's eyes shone murderously when he sensed the sudden commotion gathering around him.

He realized he had to end this battle as quickly as possible! Otherwise, there was a high chance that their little group of them would end up as sacrificial offerings for the contention between the top factions!

However, other than shedding his Draconic Skink form and fully activating his Ancient Dragon innate, the [Draconic Heritage] skill what other possible solutions, what other methods did he have at his disposal that could slay these two annoying raggedy old skink archbishops as soon and as efficiently as possible?

Aiden thought fervently whilst kept up dodging and contesting against the two elders.

*THUNDER!*

However, all of a sudden, a thick thunderbolt striked across the skies and landed on the long street, opening up a huge charred pit that flickered with lingering remnant electricity.

This was the might of the world that no one could possibly go against. Even if it was a so-called dying world, it's rage, it's wrath was still not something mere mortals could hope to possibly withstand, much less contend against.

The rumbling of thunder was only heard a moment later at the edge of the horizon.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Aiden's mind. Without hesitation, he strode forward and the stone slab beneath his feet exploded, shooting gravel all over the place.

The immense rebound caused him to soar into the air. Wielding the dark blade of Rygintarth up high with both arms, he channeled his inner energy frantically. His [Soul Power] madly revolved inside his body and his blood churned with the rumbling of power, forming a harmony with the thunder in the skies.

*BANG!* *THUNDER!* *BOOM!*

The sound of thunder intensified and arrived from the edge of the horizon in a terrifying manner, as though thousands of carriages were riding across the firmaments.

*Crackle!*

In the skies above Ugburg City, endless lightning flashes and interweaved. In the blink of an eye, it resembled a sea of lightning that shone with a divine light.

In the face of that sea of lightning, Aiden's leap attracted everyone's gazes.

At that moment, he was in the midst of the sea of lightning with a torrential aura, resembling the only true god in the universe that was unparalleled!

*THUNDER!*

A thick golden colored lightningbolt descended and struck down straight into the tip of the raised Rygintarth. Lightning coiled all around that curved ebony dark blade like countless small snakes climbing in a frightening manner!

"[Reptilian] Let's end it here! TAKE MY SLASH!" Aiden's holler was like a thunder that boomed everywhere in the city.

Basked in lightning, Aiden swung his majestic dark blade that was shining brightly with lightning and descended from the skies, encompassing Elder Loran and Elder Zhorl.

That single slash possessed the might of the universe and the power of thunder alongside with his own [Soul Power]. That attack was horrifying.
