Chapter 983 Benladann's True Form
-----
"Father-in-law…" Benladann was left shocked after what she saw. Seeing Fafnir fight and sacrifice himself despite his naughty nature was the most amazing thing she had seen in a while. She couldn't help but grow to love him as a family member even more than before and appreciated him as well.
"I can't believe he did something so amazing yet reckless…" Sighed Benladann. "He's like his son I guess." She chuckled for a bit. "Ugh…"
However, Benladann didn't felt so good either. She quickly fell to her knees, the power surging through her body was destabilizing. Without the aid of Miranda to enhance her body, she wasn't able to properly resist all the chaotic power within her soul. Alongside that, each time she unleashed a powerful chaos breath, she felt weakened.
She had grown too depending in Miranda for her aid, and as a result, her own foundation might be getting a bit stalled. Even more, she couldn't breath properly and the pain in her soul was making her go almost mad internally.
"Shit, this is really bad… How can I even handle this chaos power without her to help me?!" She cried. Miranda was technically a part of her own power as a Unique Skill, but Benladann saw her as another person, asking for her assistance would be like cheating to her.
After seeing her husband fight valiantly and her father-in-law sacrifice himself gloriously, Benladann also wanted to be up to the expectations of such a powerful family as that of Drake's dragon family… But the thing is, Benladann wasn't really a dragon, she was a giant.
The body of a dragon she was using was more of a limited time powerup, not something she would be using for so long, therefore, she lacked the adaptability and experience to properly utilize its powers… And she was struggling a lot, to say the least.
However, she also recalled she had used a mysterious power when confronting Boulder. His enormous strength was overwhelming, so when she tried to bring out more power, her arms swelled into enormous and muscular humanoid arms covered on black scales… It resembled her other form, her half chaos dragon form.
"Maybe… I don't need to try to be a pure dragon… I've never been one to begin with." She said to herself. "I've always been a giant, and Drake has never really been bothered by it either…"
Benladann was the one that was being so pushy about trying to be a dragon for Drake, and although she was not going to throw away such powers because of thinking that such a thing was wrong, she couldn't simply stay as she was. Without Miranda, her complete chaos dragon transformation was incomplete, as it was a form that emerged from the power of Mold Legion…
Therefore, she simply had to use what she used before that transformation was brought. Miranda was the one capable of shapeshifting the most after all, she was the one that aided Benladann into transforming into that form to bring more output of power and all of that… but what about Benladann by herself?
She already had almost perfected her own unique form, a combination between Giant and Dragon… In fact, her true form as of now wasn't this dragon form!
"My true self… my true form! It is not this one…!"
Now that she had acquired the Bloodline of Ice Titans and awakened it, she wasn't a dragon, she was a Titan!
FLAAASH!
Suddenly, an explosion of ice covered her surroundings, as the crowd quickly averted their gazes from the intense fight that Drake was having against Amethyst, noticing Benladann's entire body was… molting!
Her scales were falling apart, and her entire body changed its entire structure, her body was no longer draconic, but humanoid. She was enormous though, even taller than in her dragon form, muscles covered her body alongside black scales, that looked like a glorious black and purple armor. Her dragon horns grew out of her forehead as a third red eye emerged in between both horns.
Large draconic wings emerged in her back, as a long tail also appeared, she had sharp scaly claws and foot, yet despite all of that, she didn't truly looked like a dragon, she resembled a titan wearing the armor made of a dragon's scales!
Her enormous aura and presence suddenly shocked the dragons in the crowd, they had never seen a non-dragon in the tournament, it was simply impossible for them to emerge in here to begin with! Yet… yet Benladann could and was having no problems at it!
"This is… my true form?" Wondered Benladann. She didn't felt exhausted anymore, she felt energetic, she didn't felt like she was trying to be something else, she was being herself. The power of chaos naturally surged from her body as well!
Jotun and the other dragons were left speechless.
"How come she can get here if she's actually a titan?!" Asked Jotun.
"Well, we awakened her dragon bloodlines." Said Nifl.
"That was more than enough…" Svartalf said.
"It appears she had simply transformed from her dragon form to a new form, her true form, perhaps." Sighed Nifl.
"Not only her daughter might be a bridge, but she could also be part of such a bridge." Sighed Svartalf.
"Bridge…?! What…?! You don't mean… the bridge between dragons and titans?! I always thought that was some stupid prophecy nobody believed…" Jotun said.
"You're always never believing a single thing we say…" Sighed Nifl.
"Well, the others are also quite stubborn. Some simply hold no more hopes…" Svartalf. "But unlike you, we like to think there might be hope, and we like to put our entire being into holding into that hope… Unlike you, Jotun, who has lost all hopes and simply think the only thing that can bring you joy is seeing battle junkies fight… And because of your own insecurities that made you not be able to trust Drake… and us!" Svartalf confronted Jotun as the old turtle-like dragon angrily reacted to her roars.
"Shut up! We'll see if he's as strong as they say…! I won't simply handle my powers to someone that hasn't proven themselves!" Jotun reluctantly said.
