CHAPTER 48: IGNIS’S TERRIFYING STRENGTH

James raised an eyebrow and asked another question. "Oh? Then what about compared to humans?"

Ignis hesitated for a moment, scratching the back of her head. "I’m not sure."

She admitted honestly. "I’ve never fought a human before becayse I’ve actually never left the Dragon Clan before. But from what I’ve heard, humans are generally much weaker than us."

’Hmmm, this is going to be difficult then...’ James thought to himself.

"Let’s say that if you and Nyx were in the same rank and fought to the death, who would win?" James asked another question that he thought Ignis would be able to answer more clearly, as Nyxrael was physically there and she would be able to gauge his strength on her own.

"Him?" Ignis squinted her eyes, looking deeply at Nyxrael as if trying to see him through.

After several seconds, she spoke with complete calm.

"He’s strong by human standards, exceptionally strong. But compared to the dragon race..." She shrugged lightly. "It’s still lacking. If he and I were equal in rank, I’m confident I could handle several of him at once."

She then added with a faint curl of her lips, "But in terms of pure, singular destructive power, he should be comparable to a strong dragon. Maybe even slightly above."

James opened his eyes widely, as he had never expected that Ignis was that strong to the point of being able to take a few of Nyxraels by herself.

When Nyxrael heard such a claim, He only nodded and responded. "She’s right, My Lord. I’m not sure if I could take her down with several of me, but one thing is certain... It’s the fact that I know it’s almost impossible to take her down by myself."

"That’s reassuring." James let out a satisfied breath. "Good. At least I won’t need to worry too much now."

Subsequently, he checked Ignis’ information since he had actually never checked it before, due to his mind suddenly thinking about a new plan that he came up with when he saw that Ignis was someone who had reached the Peak Legendary Rank.

— — —

[Name: Ignis, the Draconic Sword Executioner]

[Age: 18]

[Race: Dragon]

[Bloodline: Imperial-tier Fire Dragon]

[Rank: Peak Legendary Rank]

[Attribute: Imperial-level Fire Element]

[Qualification: Sovereign Rank]

[Skills: Blazing Rift, Infernic Edge Resonance, Scorch Fang Combo, Dragonsmoke Step, Vermillion Lance, Emberheart Pulse, Sunblood Armor, Cataclysmic Inferno Breath, Hellstorm Wingbeat, Magma Dominion, Dragon Roar]

[Ultimate Skills: Dracoblade Calamity—Sovereign Execution & Imperial Apocalypse—Eternal Solar Pyre]

— — —

[Blazing Rift – A swift horizontal slash that releases a crescent of compressed flame, cutting through and burning everything in its path.]

[Infernic Edge Resonance – Ignis channels her fire attribute directly into the blade, making it vibrate at a destructive frequency. Doubles cutting power and transforms every swing into a semi-ethereal burn that passes through basic defenses.]

[Fivefold Inferno Ascension – Five ultra-fast strikes infused with dragon flames. Each cut increases in temperature, culminating in a final blow hot enough to melt enchanted armor.]

[Dragonsmoke Step

– A footwork technique where Ignis burns a tiny amount of mana beneath her feet, vanishing behind a trail of ember smoke.]

[Vermillion Lance – She condenses fire into a spear-like projectile that penetrates everything. Leaves behind a burning trail that can ignite surroundings.]

[Emberheart Pulse – A self-empowering skill that accelerates blood circulation with dragon heat. Boosts strength, reaction, and mana control temporarily but drains stamina afterward.]

[Sunblood Armor (Human Form)]

[Sunblood Mantle – Ignis channels a portion of her draconic essence, causing her body to glow with a subdued golden-red radiance. A half-manifested "solar armor" forms around her body—thin, luminous, almost like layered flame scales.]

[Sunblood Armor (Dragon Form)]

[Sunblood Armor: Full Manifestation – When Ignis transforms into her true Imperial Fire Dragon form, the Sunblood Armor activates in its complete, ancient form. Her scales ignite with a blinding solar brilliance. Each scale becomes a layered shield of ultra-condensed fire essence.]

[Cataclysmic Inferno Breath – A colossal breath of Imperial flame that incinerates everything in its path.]

[Hellstorm Wingbeat – With one flap of her massive wings, Ignis creates a dome of fire-laced shockwaves. Anything within a wide radius is scorched, thrown away, or disintegrated.]

[Dragon Roar

– A roar imbued with Sovereign pressure. Weakens enemies mentally and physically, causing fear, paralysis, or mana disruption.]

[Ultimate Sword Skill (Human Form)]

[Dracoblade Calamity—Sovereign Execution: Ignis pours every ounce of her Imperial fire into her blade, compressing it to a critical point. For one brief moment, the sword becomes a pure line of dragonfire, sharper than reality itself.

A single swing produces:

A massive dimensional cleaveA golden inferno waveA lingering execution burn that continues consuming the target’s mana]

[Ultimate Dragon Skill (Dragon Form)]

[Imperial Apocalypse—Eternal Solar Pyre: Ignis summons the mythical flame said to be carried only by ancient Imperial Dragons. A second sun ignites above the battlefield, bathing everything in annihilating fire.]

Looking at the unfamiliar ranks, James asked. "System, what’s that imperial-tier and sovereign rank? Can you elaborate on it?"

[Ding!]

[Due to the system’s current level, I can’t give you the details but I can give you a rough estimate on how high their levels are. The Imperial-tier is two ranks above the forbidden-tier and the Sovereign Rank is the highest rank within the imperial-tier.]

[Just as the forbidden-tier has Transcendent → Abyssal → Cataclysm, there are three ranks within the Imperial-tier, with Sovereign being the peak.]

James widened his eyes in disbelief, as he had never expected that Ignis’ potential was this monstrous.

He really felt that he had a jackpot. At first, he thought that it was already more than enough with the fact that he summoned Ignis, someone who has the look and strong combat power.

However, now that her potential was this high, James suddenly wondered whether he had used up all his luck for the entire year on her.

Subsequently, James continued skimming through Ignis’ skills and was shocked because she possessed multiple skills related to swords and dragon skills. Not only that, she even had two ultimate skills.

’Are these two Ultimate skills the reason why she’s extremely strong?’ James raised an eyebrow.

However, he realized something and asked the system to clarify his doubts.
