Targaryen Who Turned Dragon

Chapter 48 - Heavenly Fire Demon

Aerion entered a world of endless water. He stood on the only piece of land in the world, the island. This island only had one landmark, its active volcano. The island had almost no signs of life. There wasn't a single tree, animal or even flower. The only thing that inhabited this island were spirits... spirits which were long dead. These spirits were extremely vengeful and dark. Aerion observed the spirits which were in front of him.

Vengeful Fire spirits... their battle power ranges from Emperor Profound One to Emperor Profound Seven!

"Living thing... living thing... I want to live... die!"

The spirit released a wall of flames in Aerion's direction. Aerion didn't even move, the flames were far too weak to injure him. His Fire Seed took away the fire element of the attack and the only thing that remained was a pitiful Emperor Profound One wave.

"How pitiful, you can barely speak. Allow me to end your suffering."

MIGHTY WIND SLASH!

The slash hit the spirit but... nothing happened! It went straight through.

"What in Seven Hells...?"

"Pitiful... Physical... attack..."

Physical? That's right... spirits aren't affected by physical attacks since they don't have a body! How foolish of me.

"Let's try this again."

GHOST FLAMES.

The Fire Spirit was instantly purified by Aerion's Ghost Flame. A loud scream filled the island and the Fire Spirits began to gather around Aerion. A dozen... a hundred... two hundred... six hundred... a thousand... ten thousand!

"So many... where did you all come from?"

"Dragon... go... die!"

The ground exploded with the fire created from the Fire Spirits. Aerion flew away, high into the sky. He looked down and saw a colossal fireball flying towards him from the ground. Although the spirits spoke like they were idiots, they were smart enough to combine their strength so that they could create attacks that could actually harm Aerion.

Aerion was going to dodge to his left but then something kicked him down, straight into the fire. Something did kick him but when he looked up... nothing was there! Aerion activated Draconic Heart and formed silver scales on his left hand. Heaven Absorbing Silver Claw! He absorbs the entire fireball in twenty seconds.

Aerion fell to the ground right after.

That attack could have easily killed a low-tier Overlord... these spirits are truly troublesome!

Aerion jumped up and drew Stormcaller. Wind started to gather from the profound energy in the environment. Aerion remembered that it's three words were "Fire", "Dragon" and "Soul". Spirits are souls, are they not? Aerion charged the sword with the profound energy he got from the fireball while flying closer to the water. The spirits followed.

A very situational profound skill... at last, I can use it.

"Kill... kill... kill!"

Aerion channelled some more profound energy, converted it into wind and slashed down towards the water with Stormcaller.

"Wind God's Art... Seventh Stage... SKY PIERCING HURRICANE!"

BOOM.

The water was s.u.c.k.e.d in and from it appeared a huge pure, white hurricane. The clouds cleared and the spirits weren't so enthusiastic about the idea of chasing Aerion anymore.

"BEGONE!"

Aerion aimed the Sky Piercing Hurricane at the island and the spirits. The spirits tried their best to escape but it was simply impossible. The hurricane s.u.c.k.e.d in every single spirit and began to slice them into countless pieces, causing them to disintegrate into nothing. Surprisingly, the island itself wasn't affected at all.

Aerion breathed heavily for a solid minute.

This Sky Piercing Hurricane is not something to be taken lightly, Aerion thought to himself. He activated his Sharingan in hopes of finding the thing that kicked him. Turns out that thing was right behind him. He observed it and found out what it was.

"You... can see me?"

"So it was you, a mere Tyrant Profound One 'Fire Shadow'."

"Mere? How dare y-"

"Bye."

Ghost Flames.

After that, Aerion went over and harvested the gold from the spirits and Fire Shadow. Over ten thousand fire spirits... let's just say he earned a fortune. About 3 million, to be exact. Each spirit gave around 300 gold.

Aerion flew to the volcano since it was the most obvious place for the boss to be in. Once he reached his destination, he saw one "Fire Demon". He had the strength of a Tyrant Profound Three cultivator! Unlike the fire spirits, he did have a physical body.

"I won't let you go any further."

"Is that so?"

"Yes, it is so. Now leave before I cut you down."

"You should give me a good fight..."

Draconic Heart, Sharingan.

"So you refuse to leave? Then you shall die."

The Fire Demon created a sword out of pure fire. Once the sword formed from the fire, it was just a plain black sword. There was nothing special about it. Aerion drew Stormcaller and blocked the Fire Demon's first attack. The wind around Stormcaller started to sharpen its blade... crack... crack...

*SHATTER*

The black blade was shattered into dozens of pieces. Aerion tightened his grip and charged up a Crimson Demon Slash. Black and Red flames combined with the clear white wind and surged rapidly in size.

"CRIMSON WIND DEMON SLASH!"

BOOM.

The Demon was obliterated by the Crimson Demon Slash, there was nothing left of him. If he were to use this in the real world then he could cause some serious destruction.

"Looks like you died instead..."

Then the volcano erupted and from its fire grew seven Fire Demons! Above them stood a man in red and white robes with fire patterns. He had long white hair and red eyes. He didn't look like a demon at all, he resembled a human. He looked like a very handsome man, to be exact. He held a very powerful looking katana with one hand, in a reversed grip.

"At last, someone has come... I've waited for years..." He said.

Aerion observed the white-haired person.

---------------------

Name: Heavenly Fire Demon

Age: 150, Looks about 20

Strength: Tyrant Profound Seven (Suppressed), Divine Origin+ (Prime)

Backstory: Formerly a being of great strength, a Demon whom many feared and some admired. He was a legendary figure from where he came from, a genius that only eight other beings from his world could ever hope to match. He founded an entire Clan and created all of its profound skills, skills that could never be replaced... even a hundred years after his supposed 'Death'. He and the other eight beings simply 'vanished' and were never seen again... a true mystery. He reached the very peak of his martial world when he was just fifty years old!

---------------------

The Fire Demons didn't attack... they merely looked at their leader and awaited his command.

"I have been chained to this damned island for so long... I would be very grateful if you could break my chains."

"How can I break your chains... when you, someone stronger than me, can't do it?"

"These chains were made by a being far stronger than me... but before he left me to rot, he told me that one day a person will come and that person will break my chains with ease. I hoped that the person he spoke of was you..."

"And if I can break your so-called chains, what do I get out of it?"

"My undying loyalty, if you can defeat me."

Aerion was confident that he'd be able to beat him if he activated Purgatory and he needed to defeat him anyway to progress to the next floor. The Heavenly Fire Demon's chains formed once Aerion got close. There was a lock and it was the same as the entrance to the dungeon...

Aerion used his dungeon ring to unlock the Heavenly Fire Demon's chains. Instantly, the seven Fire Demons were consumed by him and his power increased by a substantial amount.

"Not bad, Ser Heavenly Fire Demon. Soon you will serve me with 'undying loyalty'."

"Not once did I bow to anyone... today I will defeat you and be free from this world!"

He raised his left hand and a large ball of pure fire and darkness formed in seconds. He threw this ball down to Aerion.

Star God's Broken Shadow.

Aerion appeared right in front of the Heavenly Fire Demon and aimed to slice his arm off. The Heavenly Fire Demon blocked the strike with ease. It was clear to Aerion that this Demon wasn't any ordinary being. The Demon punched Aerion straight in the balls which caused Aerion to react and let go of Stormcaller. The Demon stabbed Aerion and punched him straight in the face, sending him flying into the volcano.

(Such a "demonic" fighting style... scary)

My... precious and pure balls... how evil... is he!?

Aerion found himself in lava which didn't harm him thanks to the Fire Seed. In fact, it energised him. What would've taken a man minutes to recover from, Aerion took ten seconds. Aerion flew straight up with great fury after he recovered. The Heavenly Demon flew straight down towards him at lightning-fast speeds, he grabbed him by the face and drained him for two seconds. Then he sent him flying back down with a mighty kick. Not only that, he threw his katana at him. Aerion landed on the rocky ground and then the sword stabbed in straight in the heart. He felt so tired and weak... the Demon charged up another large ball of energy, this time Aerion wouldn't be able to evade it.

"It's all over for you..."

The Demon sent the large ball of red energy towards Aerion.

BOOM.

The Heavenly Fire Demon was certain that he won and was quite pleased to know that he was truly free. The being who sealed him said that he would be able to leave the island once he defeated the person who broke his chains. Then he realised that he couldn't leave... this could only mean that... then a loud and thunderous voice filled the entire world.

"WHERE... DO... YOU... THINK... YOU... ARE... GOING!?"
