Vol. 9 - Chapter 488 - Battle with Megadeth (1)
'Huh? Are you sure you've had enough time?'
Megadeth looked surprised to see Allen back after half a month.
"Yeah, I'll be fine!! Let us fight!!"
Kurena replied, full of excitement. The rest stepped back to let Kurena and Haku talk to Megadeth.
'I see. Wait, what?!'
Megadeth was slightly impressed, but then looked shocked as he looked up.
"Heheheh! He looks amazing, right!!"
Kurena looked pleased with that reaction.
'I don't believe there was any equipment for dragons in the Gates of Trials though…'
Megadeth was shocked by Haku's appearance.
"Habarak made it for us."
Kurena puffed her chest, proudly explaining the change.
Allen had requested that from Habarak, assuming Haku could also wear something, as monsters like goblins and orcs usually wore equipment too.
Habarak built orichalcum claws and armor for Haku, using the orichalcum weapons found in the gates as materials. The armor was a breastplate tweaked to fit Haku's dimensions. 10 weapons were used for all the claws, and 10 were used for the armor.
The rest of the orichalcum weapons were given to Helmios' party and the army's generals.
A 4 Star Talent was needed to work on orichalcum, and 9 blacksmiths had undergone the necessary Talent Changes for that, which made 10 total with Habarak. They all worked on Kurena and Haku's equipment to fight Megadeth.

Habarak also used [Alchemy] on everything once they were completed.
That added an extra 50% of stats from the equipment, making it the best Habarak could make.
Kasagoma had also gained the ability of improving the accessories worn by Kurena.
Habarak could improve equipment stats by 50%, but Kasagoma's new skill doubled them. It was similar to the power Cecile gained from the Magician's Divine Technique.
'I can tell you're strong, but I don't think it's enough to overcome this gate yet.'
Megadeth was surprised by Haku's equipment, but he still doubted it was enough.
Still, he moved out of the place opening the gate, which led to the arena for their fight. Kurena turned to look at Haku.
"Let's go. We can't lose after everything they did to make us stronger."
Kurena firmly grasped Haku's reins.
'Gyau!'
The two crossed the gate, reaching the arena with Megadeth.
Kurena looked back at the gate, but could not see anyone. Allen and the rest were supposed to be watching her, but there was nothing there, not even the gate.
There was only and endless expanse surrounding her.
'Your friends can't help you here, just like with the other fights.'
"Alright, let's do it then!"
Kurena unsheathed her greatsword and Haku huffed.
'Okay, here I go. Don't think I'll go easy on you just because I'm cute.'
Crack crack
After he said that, his small 1 meter long body began swelling up, his rainbow wings vanishing and turning to bone and skin.
In the end he was 100 meters long, his body mostly black and green. Compared to Haku who was 15 meters long, they looked like a lion and a cat.
Haku flinched, noticing that large difference in size.
"Let's win and go to the divine realm together."
'Okay, Mama!'
Haku regained his bearings and faced Megadeth. Meanwhile Kurena switched all her equipment to raise her Mana as much as possible.
"Limit Break!!"
All her stats increased by 18000. That skill was proportional to her Mana. Then she used [True Dragon Riding] to increase Haku's Agility as well.
'Gyau.'
Megadeth had been staring at them, and once they said that he started flying around.
They did not know how Megadeth would attack, but the only way to win was by defeating Megadeth, so they began circling around him.
'You still haven't given up, huh. I guess it's time to start then.'
Slam
'Gyau?!'
As if he had eyes on the back of his head, Megadeth swung its enormous tail straight at Haku, who felt the hit even through the orichalcum armor.
"Yahhh!!"
But Kurena also counterattacked, slashing at Megadeth.
'Nguh?!'
Megadeth's tough scales were torn apart and fresh blood appeared. Kurena's power, aided with her Levels and equipment, was higher than Megadeth's Endurance.
"Good, that worked! Let's do it again!!"
'Okay!!'
Kurena had a small magic bag that would not get in the way of her fight. There were many Heaven's Blessings inside. That would allow her to continue fighting for a long time, if it was needed.
'I see, that hurt a little. But don't think that will be enough to defeat me. Mode Fang!!
Megadeth's head grew larger and his fangs became sharper.
"Haku, get away!"
Something seemed to be coming up through Megadeth's throat, so Kurena shouted at Haku.
'You can't escape. Graaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!!'
Megadeth's powerful breath soon followed, completely swallowing Haku and Kurena.
