Chapter 102: The Demon Dragon VS. The Holy Dragon
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
◆Dark Knight; Kuroki
Two dragons, white and black respectively, were flying in circles under the azure sky as their wings cut apart the cloud.
The one who stood before the black Demon Dragon, Glorious, and me, was a Holy Knight riding a white Holy Dragon. [TL : Stardust Dragon vs Red Dragon Archfiend!]
The white Holy Dragon, Valjinias, was fast; Glorious couldn’t overtake him.
「VALJINIAS!!!」
Valjinias unleashed light breath from his mouth as soon as he heard the Holy Knight Alphos’ command. The light breath headed straight towards us like a laser beam.
「GLORIOUS!!」
Upon hearing my command, Glorious unleashed black flame breath as well to counter the oncoming attack. The light clashed with the black flame and vanished.
After firing its light breath, the Holy Dragon flapped his wings again and rapidly retreated to keep a distance from us.
In terms of speed and the range of his breath attack, the Holy Dragon was superior to Glorious. Glorious’ exploding flame breath had an extremely destructive force but was short range, which made it impossible to land a hit on the Holy Dragon. The Holy Dragon’s attack, on the other hand, was long range, so they could easily attack us from a safe distance while we couldn’t even reach them
Glorious raised a low groan. He was irritated as he now understood that none of his attacks would reach his enemy.
「Glorious, calm down. Let’s slowly find an opening in between their attacks.」
I brushed Glorious’ head to soothe his mind.
We have to stay level-headed.
Though the other party was attacking non-stop, it’s not like we couldn’t defend against their attacks. It was not a big deal as long as we could cope with them. We could let Glorious intercept every single one of the white Holy Dragon’s long distance breaths.
「Let’s keep this pace, Glorious. We’ll catch up to them bit-by-bit.」
Contrary to Glorious who only needed to keep looking at his opponent, the white Holy Dragon had to turn his head back as they circled the sky. Everytime he wanted to attack he had to pause and turn around to fire his breath. Thus, the more they attacked, the more distance we could shorten.
After who knows how many clashes between the two dragons’ breaths, our enemies finally entered into Glorious’ attack range.
「GLORIOUS NOW!!!」
Glorious fired his exploding breath.
Though the Holy Dragon managed to intercept it with his light breath, it was far from enough to kill all of its force, and that failure caused the Holy Dragon to stagger mid-air.
Glorious didn’t let go of that chance and rushed at once towards the Holy Dragon.
The two dragons collided in the air.
This time, Glorious showed his superiority.
Even if we lost to the other party in terms of range and speed, we overwhelmed them when it came to firepower and strength.
「We’re at a disadvantage in close combat, get away from them, Valjinias!!」
Alphos ordered with a loud voice.
The Holy Dragon flapped his wings, trying to get away from Glorious.
Glorious could only groan in annoyance upon seeing his prey getting away.
「Calm down Glorious, we’ll get another chance soon.」
I soothed Glorious.
Thus, their breaths clashed again.
This time though, the Holy Dragon didn’t fire his light breaths in succession anymore. It was clear that he was trying to prevent us from getting closer to them.
That made things easier for us instead.
But, at the same time, our attacks couldn’t reach them either.
We were now at a deadlock with both dragons unable to land an attack on the other.
「NOT BAD, DARK KNIGHT!! LET SEE HOW YOU HANDLE THIS!!!」
Alphos took out a longbow from his space. It was the bow he had used to snipe me a while ago.
Seeing that both dragons reached a stalemate, the rider had no choice but to do something to break it.
I drew my sword.
Alphos’ arrow was really powerful.
I couldn’t afford to get distracted.
「TIME FOR THE SECOND ROUND, VALJINIAS!!」
Alphos and the Holy Dragon were suddenly engulfed in white light, I knew that that meant—they were cloning themselves.
Clones appeared from all directions, each flying at a high speed.
They weren’t even an illusion, each one of them felt like the real version.Alphos’ magical power was also immense, so each clone was attacking, firing light breaths and arrows.
The number of their attacks was simply overwhelming. It was literally impossible to intercept them all since all of the attacks were coming at us at the same time.
I could always try to block them with my magic shield, but I knew that I wouldn’t make it in time.
「GLORIOUS! EARN ME SOME TIME!!」
Glorious flapped his wings and flew towards a safer location.
Alphos’ clones followed us from behind.
Glorious tried desperately to escape from the enemy, but his injuries increased bit by bit.
Do your best, Glorious!!
「TAKE THIS, DARK KNIGHT!!」
Alphos’ laugh could be heard from our surroundings. Looking around, we finally noticed that due to our enemies’ speed, they had surrounded us from every corner.
Alphos and the white dragon’s clones fired magic arrows and light breaths at the same time.
But, it was too late for them.
I silently thanked Glorious for persevering till now.
「LET’S GO, GLORIOUS!!」
I unleashed my magical power.
Thereupon, a gravitational field that distorted the trajectory of the light breaths and magic arrows appeared around Glorious and I.
「What the?!!!!」
The breath attacks and magic arrows were sent back to Alphos and his dragon. They couldn’t escape since they had surrounded us so densely.
Alphos and his dragon couldn’t dodge the incoming attacks while their clones were erased.
「THOSE ARE THE REAL ONES!! GLORIOUS CHARGEEEEEEEEEEEE!!」
We rushed towards the ones who didn’t vanish from their own attack.
The black Demon Dragon and white Holy Dragon once again clashed in mid-air.
「GET AWAY FROM VALJINIAS, BLACK DRAGON!!」
「ABSOLUTELY DON’T LET THEM GO, GLORIOUS!! WE MUSTN’T LET GO OF THE WHITE DRAGON THIS TIME!」
Alphos drew his sword in order to force Glorious to let go of his white dragon, but I would never allow him to do that. I gripped my sword once again and clashed with Alphos’ one, preventing him from reaching Glorious.
The Demon Dragon against The Holy Dragon and The Dark Knight against the Holy Knight; such an intense battle happened high in the sky.
The wings of both dragons ended up getting wounded and both started falling, piercing the clouds as they fell. The place we were going to land in was right in the center of some mountain.
Both dragons finally reached the ground and raised a cloud of dust in the process.
「Are you okay, Glorious?」
I jumped from Glorious’ back as I patted his head.
Glorious raised his head, allowing me to pat him.
It was as if he was telling me 「Don’t worry.」.
But, I knew that he was covered in injuries; I couldn’t let him fight anymore.
When the cloud of dust recedeed, I could see the figure of Alphos and the white dragon not faraway from us.
The body of the white dragon was also covered in wounds.
It seems that both dragons had received tremendous damage.
The dragons were looking at each other while raising a low growl.
But, both of them had yet to make their move.
They just glared at each other from where they were.
「「「ALPHOS-SAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!」」」
Alphos’ flying ship descended to the ground carrying along hysteric screams.
They seemed to be worried about him upon seeing him and his dragon fall from the sky.
The beauties left the ship and ran towards Alphos.
「Are you okay Kuroki?!!!!」
「Master Kuroki!!」
Kuna and Polen also left the ship and ran towards me.
「I’m okay Kuna. I’ll leave Glorious’ treatment to you.」
「I understand. Good job Glorious, now let Kuna heal you.」
Kuna used healing magic on Glorious. With that magic, Glorious could move again.
When I looked at Alphos’ side, the beauties were also using healing magic on Valjinias.
「Muse, take care of Valjinias.」
After saying so to one of the beauties, Alphos looked at me again.
「DARK KNIGHT! IT SEEMS THAT BOTH OF US DON’T WISH TO SEE OUR DRAGON MORE WOUNDED THAN THIS! LET’S DECIDED THE MATCH WITH JUST THE TWO OF US!!」
After bellowing such words, Alphos levitated off of the white dragon.
「I understand, I accept the challenge. Kuna, I’ll leave the rest to you. Glorious, take a rest for now.」
I also used flight magic and flew away from Glorious.
Pointing our swords towards each other, we headed straight to the mountain’s peak.
It was time for the second round.
