Chapter 59 - Inundation II
Chapter 59 - Inundation II
I looked to the newly appeared human and the winged creature it was commanding. These natives actually had someone of this level of strength, surprising me even more.
The human that had dirtied my scales was about to die, only for this one to swoop in and save him in the last minute. The issue was that this new one actually posed a threat to me. Well, his beast did anyways
I had brought myself to the point of empathizing with the creatures of this world because of the similarity of events they were going through, but that was the wrong choice.
If I wanted to be successful in my goal in this small world, I had to be ruthless. I have my own people to worry about. With that being said, I would take care of this threat in front of me first
My injury should not flare up as long as I do not completely go all out, so I started by casting my ability, Draconic Summoning.
The usual ferocious winged half dragons filled the air, their numbers growing to 100 in a blink. These would be used to keep the vile summoned creature at bay while I take down its master. That was the fastest solution after all
I commanded the half dragons to attack, and the winged creature went towards them at high speed. It was powerful enough that a single strike from it melted through the body of my summons, and it released a poisonous gas that spread out and melted more than 20 of the half dragons in a blink
I became even more serious seeing this, and I realized I only had a few seconds to make my move against the human. If he dies, the creature dies with him.
My wings vibrated as I converged the wind elements around me and my body disappeared from my location, shooting towards the human in the distance
I passed the position in the sky where the poisonous creature was fighting against my summons, and knew victory was in sight as the creature would never catch up to me before I can take down its masterThe inaugural upload of this chapter took place via N0v3l-B1n.
It was truly vile, as it had nearly taken down almost all the half dragons, but the few seconds it bought me was enough. My chest rumbled as I let out another one of my fiery breaths towards the figure of the human
VOOM!
I felt an impact and left no room for mistake as I formed multiple pillars of purple lightning that also crashed wide at the location of the figure
When the explosion cleared, a surprising sight presented itself.
Brilliant light covered my body as I healed the injuries and pushed out the poison at a fast pace as I prepared for the human’s last ditch attack. No matter how calm he looked, I knew he was only putting up a brave front
Come on. Bring your last attack. Let me withstand it and show you the terror of a genuine Black Dragon right after
Rumbling ensued in our surroundings as I felt a surge of energy from all corners around me. Energy that was in no way lower to my conflagrant breath condensed above and below me, and to my left and right
Transparent outlines of shifting mountains appeared as they rumbled and the heat increased to an alarming degree with me at the center
"Okay what-"
BOOM!!!
Suffocation. That was all I felt as I continued to cast multiple energy barriers that continued to be shredded the moment they were created. Thick magma was assaulting me from both sides, the high temperatures searing my scales the moment I didn’t replace the barriers fast enough
I felt extreme pain as the injury in my chest flared up and made the situation even worse.
Huff. Huff. Huff.
I released bated breaths as the decimation around me cleared. Half of my body was charred as I looked to the human above me in fear. I could help but let out a scream
"What the hell are you?!"
This thing, this being, he definitely wasn’t human!
"Now that, is just insulting"
His same nonchalant reply came out, making the gears in my mind spin faster as I thought of options out of this
"Don’t start thinking too much, here’s some more"
He disregarded me as his arm stayed in the air, multiple rumblings resounding as transparent volcanoes formed around me once more and a green circle that brought to light the poisonous beast shined out
I looked at the sight in front of me in trepidation as I wondered, just what the hell had I gotten myself into?!
