Chapter 315 - Imperial Dragon Emperor's Armor
Mahiro activated the Sacred Gear fusion card, merging the incomplete Divine Dividing with the Boosted Gear.
In a shimmer of light, the blue wings in Mahiro's hands vanished.
A pair of blue wings sprouted behind him, while the red armor of the Boosted Gear began to contract.
The nearly two-meter-tall armor shrank to fit Mahiro's frame, now resembling an exoskeleton rather than a bulky mecha.
White lines traced key sections of the armor, and the green jewels of the Boosted Gear turned a deep blue.
The new armor lacked the feral edge of the Boosted Gear, gaining a refined, majestic air.
It appeared more human than draconic.
"The raw power has definitely increased," Mahiro noted, sensing the new Sacred Gear's strength.
He estimated it rivaled Vali's output in Juggernaut Drive, granting Balance Breaker alone near-transcendent might.
"The fusion met my expectations," Mahiro said, satisfied.
He opened his panel to review the new Sacred Gear's properties.
===
Item: Imperial Dragon Emperor's Armor (Incomplete)
Quality: B+ to A
Effect:
1. Formed by fusing the Boosted Gear (B+) and Divine Dividing (Incomplete) (B), it retains all abilities of both Sacred Gears.
2. Juggernaut Drive: Balanced Dragon Emperor. This mode wields the power of balance, akin to a new dragon god.
3. Due to the absence of the original Divine Dividing's dragon soul, the Sacred Gear is flawed, with quality fluctuating between B+ and A during use.
Note:
Power of Balance: Born from the intertwined abilities of the Two Heavenly Dragons, this power achieves a delicate equilibrium. It neutralizes special abilities of B+ to A rank, rendering them harmless to the host, and weakens A+ abilities. S-rank or higher abilities are unaffected.
===
Mahiro's eyes lit up at the description, particularly the mention of A-rank.
In the system mall, A-rank items cost over ten million points, a daunting sum.
Yet, he'd achieved one through fusion, though its incomplete state and fluctuating quality were minor drawbacks.
"System, how do I perfect the new Sacred Gear?" Mahiro asked.
[Sacrifice at least five dragon or one Heavenly Dragon's soul into the Sacred Gear.]
"I understand Heavenly Dragon souls, but what qualifies as a dragon soul?" Mahiro pressed.
[A Dragon King's soul is required.]
"Dragon King," Mahiro mused.
That was no small feat.
Tannin, a Dragon King aligned with the devils, came to mind.
Other Dragon Kings were either in hiding or sealed into Sacred Gears, like Saji's Vritra within Sona's peerage.
Acquiring either would be challenging, and some Dragon Kings had ties to gods, complicating matters.
"I'll make Azazel pay for this," Mahiro muttered.
If Vali hadn't escaped, his Sacred Gear would be complete, its power stable without fluctuation.
"I'll have to check other worlds," Mahiro decided, planning to seek dragon's in other worlds in his next dimensional travel.
He returned to the Sacred Gear's description.
The terms "dragon god" and "power of balance" intrigued him.
"Can I activate Juggernaut Drive directly?" Mahiro asked, recalling Ddraig's earlier critique of his poor resonance with the Boosted Gear.
"Yes," the system replied.
"The fused Sacred Gear doesn't require resonance."
"In this mode, the curse of Juggernaut Drive is neutralized by the power of balance, preventing the host from succumbing to madness."
Mahiro's surprise deepened.
This elevated his strength, granting him the ability to rival the world's top powerhouses.
Unlike standard Juggernaut Drive, this mode wielded the power of balance.
The power of balance was formidable, neutralizing special abilities up to A-rank and weakening A+ abilities.
Paired with the Mystic Eyes of Distortion, it could counter most special attacks.
"My next focus should be close combat," Mahiro realized.
Even without Sacred Gears, Mahiro's swordsmanship and physical prowess could dominate Ultimate-Class foes.
Further improvement could make him unstoppable in this world, save for the two dragon gods.
