Chapter 20 - Suppression

He raised his gaze to Ravena's divine form and saw her looking at him with intrigue, she seemed surprised to see his clear eyes as she gazed at him, and the intrigue within her eyes deepened. She knew the effect her appearance and Tier would have on someone of his level. She was surprised to see him shake off the influence so quickly.

Her mysterious gold flecked eyes peered at Reign, and he once again felt his breath catch, he could help but swallow loudly . She smiled slyly as she saw that she indeed did have an effect on him.

Her aura had shot up immensely, suppressing the entire cavern. It completely overshadowed the drake's aura, suppressing it to the maximum, the rains of fireballs were all snuffed out as if they mere candles. Her aura was several magnitudes of times greater than the drakes.

It suppressed the drake to the maximum. It couldn't even raise its head. The difference between them seemed as if it was the difference between a third tier being and the drake.

Reign completely relaxed, he hadn't thought that Ravena had such a trump card hidden. With this, the drake was as good as dead. He was surprised thought to see no sign of assurance on Ravena's face. in fact her face showed a serious expression, as if she was bracing for something.

Suddenly, ominous dark chain like vines erupted from the depths of her body. The markings on her skins seemed to come alive, as if they were evil serpents from a nightmarish realm, they roiled and coiled themselves around Ravena and the halos around her, tightening and suppressing, seeking to suppress and consume her.

A painful expression appeared on Ravena's face, and her body trembled unceasingly. The divine charming face that had born a mysterious charming smile now showed struggle and pain, as if the vines were causing her unbearable agony.

Reign heard Mirage gasp in his mind, "So that's what she is. Your luck is as mysterious as always."

 Reign who was almost getting whiplash from this constant turn of events couldn't even muster the wherewithal to ask Mirage what she meant. Mirage explained anyway.

"Your witch friend is an ordinary witch. First of all she's a legendary witch. See that golden glow that appeared with the purple glow, it shows she's legendary. Purple is epic, golden is legendary when they erupt with their respective power traits. I'll let her tell you the rest, can't spoil all the surprises now, can I? he he."

The vine chains constricted slowly around Ravena, her aura reducing rapidly as it did. It seemed to be a curse, a seal on her power and form.

As constricted and corroded her, her strength continuously dropped, the overbearing aura that had suppressed the drake receded. The drake felt this and rose, its ferocity had not been blunted by Ravena's strength.

It quickly rose and pounced towards Ravena, seeking to hit her while she was down. Ravena was still trembling in pain, her jaw clenched as she resisted the strange curse. Reign saw this and pounced without thinking, her leapt out, slashing at the drake.

This time the drake was not interested in him, it wanted to eliminate the threat that was Ravena first. It'd claw whipped out at an extremely fast speed, catching Rein mid slash. The difference in attributes was too vast and Reign couldn't put up a fight.

The claw hit his body like a meteor, shooting him out like a rocket. The shield Ravena had placed on his body crumbled immediately.

Thankfully, it saved his life since the shield cancelled out a majority of the force from the drake's strike. Reign landed heavily on the floor and skidded for a while. He blanked out for a moment, the force of the strike too much to bear. He tried to force himself back to his feet, but his body rebelled.

He weakly turned his head to the side, fearing what he would see, just in time to see the drake wrap its huge maw around Ravena. Reign felt a raw scream rip out his throat, "No, Ravena!!"

Raw fury, sadness and hatred burst out of his heart , his heart pounded rapidly in his chest and a towering killing intent enveloped him, he saw nothing but red. He felt the dragon bloodline in his body boil in response to his fury.

However he suddenly felt the drake shudder then roar in pain and rage. Ravena emerged, unscathed from the drake's mouth, her eyes blazing with fury , glowing with an unnatural light].

She seemed to have suppressed the curse on her for the moment. The moment she appeared, she suddenly waved her hand, some of the dark vines suppressing her detached and attached themselves to the dragon

The drake suddenly recoiled as if it had been hit by an extremely powerful blow. It's aura reduced massively, from the domineering epic being it had been. It's aura dropped steadily past epic, third tier peak to a relatively strong third class being.

Ravena suddenly waved her hand, unleashing a huge dark ray at the drake, ray of enfeeblement, its aura fell even further, dropping to match a beginner third tier being,

she then cast a few more spells that Reign didn't recognize, by the time she was down. The dragon seemed blinded, slowed, and eits aura had dropped to match a second tier being.

Reign had heard about this before. He remembered that in the games he used to play, there were buffs and debuffs.

Buffs could increase one's strength exponentially while debuffs could inflict crippling loses to one's power and attributes.

He remembered how Ravena had cast several spells that had increased his strength so much it matched the strength of the third tier fire lizard. If she could do that it matched that she could also reduce the drake's strength by that much.

Ravena raised her arm and conjured a massive arm made of mana. She then used it to suppress the drake, it couldn't even resist. She then conjured a massive spear, which she held above the drake, it's tip glinted sharply, and he was sure if it really pierced the drake. It would find it difficult to survive
