- MWM Chapter 470
One of the dragons was a blue one, slightly larger than Mirmulnir, the dragon Leo had slain before. It seemed to have a stronger life force and was likely a high-level dragon.
But the other one was far more impressive. Its entire body was pitch-black, like polished metal, and its size was more than three times that of the blue dragon.
Of course, size wasn’t the most important factor. What truly mattered was that, from Leo’s senses, the black dragon’s life force was far superior, not only compared to the blue dragon and Mirmulnir but also much stronger than that of the Greybeards’ teacher, the dragon hidden atop High Hrothgar.
It was obvious that the blue dragon was Sahloknir, just revived, and the black one was the infamous “World Devourer,” Alduin.
Alduin also noticed Leo, with his metallic wings.
“So, you’re the Dovahkiin who killed Mirmulnir. You look nothing like a dragon, just a lowly mortal blessed with some Dragon Souls by Father.
Hmph, a mere human thinks he can slay dragons? Sahloknir, kill them!”
With that command, Alduin flapped his massive wings, ready to leave and revive more dragons, clearly underestimating Leo.
But there was no way Leo was going to let such a big catch slip away.
“Delphine, that black dragon is the legendary Alduin, the World Devourer. He plans to revive all dragons to destroy this world.
As the leader of the Blades, I believe you have some strength. You handle the weaker blue dragon, and I’ll deal with Alduin.”
With that, Leo tossed the bewildered Delphine onto the blue dragon’s back before chasing after Alduin on his flying sword.
Delphine, landing on the back of the blue dragon, looked down at the massive beast below her and couldn’t help but gulp nervously.
“You’ve got to be kidding!”
She originally planned to use the Dragonborn’s power to slay dragons, hoping to rally the scattered Blades who were being hunted by the Empire and the Thalmor.
But now, she was suddenly tasked with soloing a dragon! And not just any dragon—the colossal black one above was Alduin, who was supposed to have been slain by the three Nordic heroes long ago.
She had thought the dragon revival incidents were just a plot by the Thalmor to bring down the Empire.
“A lowly mortal dares to ride on my back, Sahloknir!”
The blue dragon, enraged by Delphine’s presence on its back, let out a furious dragon shout, landed, and twisted its head to bite her.
But as the leader of the Blades, Delphine was no ordinary person. Quickly drawing the Blades’ shield from her back to block the dragon’s head, she then pulled out the Blades’ sword, launching a counterattack against Sahloknir.
While Delphine and Sahloknir clashed fiercely, Leo confronted Alduin.
Seeing Leo blocking his path, Alduin was visibly furious.
“Pathetic insect! Do you think that just because you killed Mirmulnir, you can kill me too? Such arrogance!”
“Well, let’s find out.”
Leo wasn’t one for words. He activated Sage Mode, fusing his vast true essence with chakra, clapped his hands together, and shouted:
“Sage Art: Massive Wind Style Rasenshuriken!”
Leo hurled a massive, 20-meter-diameter Rasenshuriken imbued with slicing wind elements toward Alduin.
“Didn’t expect you to have some real power,” Alduin remarked, his tone shifting from scorn to surprise as he opened his mouth:
“Fire Breath!”
A ferocious stream of dragon fire spewed from Alduin’s mouth, colliding with Leo’s Rasenshuriken. The flames shattered the energy of the attack and surged toward Leo.
“Just as I thought, this dragon’s strength is on another level.”
With a flap of his flying sword wings, Leo dodged the dragon fire. The power of Alduin’s Fire Breath was leagues above that of Mirmulnir’s.
Seeing Leo dodge his fire, Alduin didn’t let up. He swung his head, continuously spewing flames to chase Leo, intent on burning him to ash.
“Teleportation!”
Leo instantly appeared on Alduin’s back.
“Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu!”
He formed hand seals and split into four clones.
“Sage Art: Five Element Great Volley Jutsu!”
This was the Third Hokage’s most powerful composite technique, combining Wind, Fire, Lightning, Water, and Earth chakra attributes. With the added power of sage chakra, its strength was more than tenfold.
“Boom!”
Alduin, caught off guard by the sudden teleportation, couldn’t react in time and took the full brunt of the attack. The force of the strike knocked him out of the sky and sent him crashing into the ground.
“Dovahkiin, I will devour you!”
Unexpectedly, despite the powerful combined attack, Alduin’s body seemed unscathed. He merely shook his wings and flew back up.
“Is dragon hide’s magic resistance really this high?”
Leo rubbed his chin thoughtfully. He knew that dragons naturally had high magic resistance, but he didn’t expect Alduin to take a full-force Sage Art: Five Element Great Volley without a scratch.
This meant that normal elemental attacks would likely have little to no effect on Alduin.
“Then let’s try something that targets the soul.”
As Alduin charged straight toward Leo, he and his four clones raised their hands together:
“Super Avada Kedavra!”
Five thick green beams of the Killing Curse shot out.
The power of Leo’s spirit had greatly enhanced his control over magic, boosting the curse’s effects.
Seeing the five beams of green light, Alduin didn’t dodge. Instead, he scoffed at Leo:
“Soul attacks? How laughable! I am the firstborn of Akatosh, a symbol of the end of time. My soul is intertwined with this world; even Father cannot harm it.”
Sure enough, when the five supercharged Killing Curses hit Alduin, they didn’t even make him flinch.
“Slow Time!”
Once Alduin had closed the distance, he let out a dragon shout, altering the time within a certain range around him. Suddenly, everything within that area slowed down.
Leo and his four clones were caught within this localized time distortion, while Alduin, unaffected by the time manipulation, moved with incredible speed.
With a single flap of his wings, he was already in front of Leo, his claws crushing all four clones with ease.
However, when he reached for Leo’s real body, he was blocked by Leo, now clad in his golden armor.
