I Received System to Become Dragonborn-Chapter 760: The Beast

The claws tore at her abdomen. But it wasn't just that—the sheer speed of the attack was terrifying. Veyna couldn't even track it with her eyes.

Her eyes widened. How was this possible? Had she miscalculated her enemy?

Meanwhile, Eccar grinned wider and delivered a powerful kick, sending Veyna hurtling backward. She tumbled through the air for a few seconds before stabilizing herself, activating the thrusters on her back to stop her momentum.

"Ugh…"

She groaned, glancing down to see a reddish liquid leaking from her abdomen. It wasn't blood. Her body had long since stopped needing blood to sustain itself. This was her energy source.

"Shit."

Cursing, Veyna focused her system on healing her body and sealing the wound.

She looked up to see Eccar flying toward her at a leisurely pace, as if he wasn't in a hurry to end this fight.

"I thought your body would hold up better than that," Eccar said, his voice dripping with mockery. His grin stretched across his face, and he hadn't even fully activated his Dragon scales. Only his arms were covered in them.

"So, you're finally showing your fangs, huh?" Veyna said, buying time while her system worked to repair her body. "What made you decide to move against me now?"

Eccar shrugged. "I saw the king, his son, and their mage working together against that bastard Laston. I just don't want you ruining their moment of victory."

"Heh, moment of victory? What makes you so sure they'll win?" Veyna asked, smirking.

"You really haven't realized the situation yet, have you?" Eccar said. "Your forces are going to lose now that the two of us are taking action. You had your fun while we stayed out of it. Now, your fun time is over."

Veyna narrowed her eyes, her expression darkening. So that was why they had been holding back. And yes, she had to admit—things weren't looking good.

She could hear Dredge calling for help, something that never happened. And now, even her lord Laston was struggling—just minutes after these two Dragonborns had finally made their move.

Eccar studied her expression. "Have you figured it out now?" he asked.

Veyna didn't answer. No. She refused to acknowledge defeat. It was still too early to decide—or even think—about such things.

"Are you done healing yourself?" Eccar asked.

Veyna gritted her teeth. Had he really been waiting for her to finish healing this whole time?

Eccar even crossed his arms over his chest, standing in the air with a relaxed posture. "I'll wait a little more."

"You underestimate me, beast," Veyna spat.

"Beast? You think Erend and I are just beasts, huh?" Eccar let out a chuckle. "Then I guess I'll have to give you the same treatment Erend gave Laston."

Suddenly, Eccar burst forward with a speed that blurred reality itself. In the blink of an eye, he was right in front of her.

But Veyna's recalibrated eyes could see him now.

She raised her energy shield just in time.

Eccar's fist slammed into it. Veyna smirked, spreading her arms forward and unleashing a massive wave of energy at him.

This wasn't just meant to push him back—it was meant to erase him on the spot.

The pressure from the energy wave was immense, designed not just to push but to completely annihilate physical matter upon contact.

Unlike regular energy blasts that merely inflicted force, this one worked by breaking down molecular structure, dissolving anything in its path.

"AAARHGGGHH!"

Eccar screamed. The sheer force of the attack burned into his flesh, sending sharp pain through his body.

His muscles tensed as the impact momentarily staggered him, his face twisting in a grimace. He hadn't expected it to hurt this much—it actually caught him off guard.

Veyna's eyes gleamed with excitement at the sight. She was delighted. So this mighty Dragonborn that she thought was so powerful before could feel pain with her attack after all.

Without hesitation, she pressed her attack. Her hands shifted, transforming into razor sharp metallic claws etched with glowing runes, amplifying their cutting power. In an instant, she lunged.

Eccar who still recovering from the shock of the energy blast had no time to react. He hadn't activated his full Dragon scales yet, leaving his body vulnerable.

SLASH!

Deep wounds opened across his arms and torso as Veyna tore into him, his clothes ripping apart as blood sprayed into the air.

She didn't stop moving. She twisting and darting to all sides, she became a blur of motion around him, her claws slashing relentlessly. Each attack cut deeper, sending fresh pain coursing through his body.

Then, without breaking her momentum, she reached out with her mind and activated one of her stored weapons.

A small portal shimmered into existence beside her, and from within a thick black chain slithered out as if alive.

With a sharp motion, the chains wrapped tightly around Eccar, constricting him in an instant. They moved with an eerie intelligence, coiling around his arms and torso, binding him as if they had a will of their own.

Veyna hovered in front of Eccar, her smirk widening as she took in the sight of his bloodied, battered form.

His clothes were torn, deep wounds covered his arms and torso, and his face was smeared with blood. It was a satisfying sight.

She tilted her head, mockingly. "What now? Not so mighty anymore, are you?" Her voice dripped with amusement before her expression hardened. "You shouldn't have acted up earlier, beast!" She spat out the last word with disdain.

Eccar slowly lifted his head, his eyes locking onto hers. Despite the blood running down his face, he grinned—a wide, sharp grin that sent a chill down Veyna's spine.

"You shouldn't have stopped attacking, bitch," he growled.

Before Veyna could react, a powerful brownish energy erupted from his body, swirling around him like a raging storm. His wounds began closing at an alarming rate, but the blood remained, leaving him looking like a demon risen from hell.

Veyna's eyes widened. "What—?"

Then, with a violent jerk, Eccar flexed his arms. The black chains that had bound him cracked, then shattered completely, the broken fragments dissolving into the air.

Veyna clenched her jaw.
