Chapter 135: Fighting the Dragon I
Aoto until now very rarely used the Wind element, which is his innate element that most Elementals have. That is because he was not yet proficient, but now his energy control capability is much stronger than before, not to mention being a mature Elemental. Even more special is that if using the Wind element together with flying capability, it will make him able to fly extremely fast.
Two large wings like dragonfly wings and transparent with winding lime-green patterns flap and lift Aoto's body; when flapping wings, it creates small green energy particles then they disappear.
By having mastered energy control at an extremely high level, he weaves and flies in a very unpredictable winding way, his body surrounded by a light green energy source, along with that it can be clearly seen that wind is surrounding and wrapping around his person making hair and clothes sway. He continuously swings his hands, attacking with Wind element slash strikes and then evades the tail swings and stomps of the large dragon.
Before he still found it hard to control the Wind element while flying, but now he can control it easily and assist his wings while flying.
Whoosh!!!
Wind shrieks piercingly; an entire straight line of trees and ground is leveled. That is Ayaka's energy arrow launching with extremely fast speed, tearing the wind and flying away; the extremely large energy source surrounding it as if warping space.
But this dragon is not so easy to hit; it immediately senses the arrow flying toward it. Mouth opens wide toward the arrow and launches a large horizontal pillar of fire from its mouth flying toward it, immediately making the arrow swallowed in fire.
Suddenly the dragon's body sways hard; that is a large stone block of Takeshi's when using Earth element control and colliding with the dragon's waist. The dragon clearly shows annoyance as two eyes glow brightly and it turns to swing a leg to crush the stone block being withdrawn. Though the stone block is large like that, the scales are hard and since dragons are inherently strong, it is unharmed.
"Damn it, I fell for the trick; there is an Angel, an Elemental, and a Vampire."
The dragon senses clearly, from a distance.
Elyssia with her two-wing Angel state. Being an Angel, why should she fear a few dragons? She calculated beforehand that this young dragon would be hard-pressed to defeat the current group, so the two-wing state is reasonable.
"Cooperation is still more interesting; in the current situation, I want it to be more difficult."
Eyes only one white color without pupils like a milk marble directed straight at the dragon which is lashing its tail, swinging legs, and spitting fire devastating the vast forest.
The platinum hair has returned to being long past her hips and almost to her feet, tied neatly.
A white halo floats above her head a distance; at each small interval on the halo are golden spikes like needles from low to high looking like a crown.
The wings close and disappear, currently inside her clothes on her back. That is a tattoo with a somewhat large range but a bit sparse, glowing with a soft white light. This is exactly a way for Angels to hide their wings, similar to the Demon race. Both have the weakness that if horns or wings are cut, they will lose all strength; it takes at least 100,000 years for signs of regrowing and after that 200,000 years to grow and be able to return to strength.
But all things evolve; a long, long time before the unification. There was a Demon who successfully found a way to hide horns, making them disappear, obscuring almost the entire weakness. Angels and Demons inherently had war and great enmity; Angels gradually sent people to investigate, after a long time finally found it. From then on, both sides further affirmed their strength.
Elyssia's hand grips the sword hilt tight; white energy surrounding her person is extremely powerful. Then surrounding her body is a set of silver-white armor shining brightly to the point of dazzling; this thing fits tight to her body and turns her into a female warrior with shining armor. This armor is simply a set of armor but has consciousness and only she can use it; especially in large battles, being hit is certain, so her body being a girl, if hit the clothes on her person would be hard to keep; thus this armor only needs to absorb her energy to be able to recover back to normal, so she will no longer face difficulty in large battles without clothes to wear.
Kazuka rolls a few times on the ground then avoids the tail lash from above of the dragon. Suddenly it flies up and observes everything at once.
Whoosh!!!
An energy slash with extreme range from afar has a white color. That is Elyssia's slash, the slash according to a vertical direction dividing the ground in two.
But this dragon is still playing; it lashes its tail and hits the flying slash. Every creature has energy; it's just that in this dragon state, the dragon does not emit energy, but energy still protects it.
Right as the dragon lashes its tail and breaks Elyssia's slash strike. Immediately below, Airi launches an extremely strong thrust strike directed upward, an energy spike darting straight up.
The dragon opens its mouth wide, its throat turns red and spits fire downward. The red-hot fire with extreme range dyes Airi's sky when looking up with only the color of fire.
Airi is not too panicked; right at a close distance to her is Kazuka. Immediately from the left side of Airi and the right side of Kazuka a large stone wall is erected. The stone wall immediately strikes toward Airi and Kazuka, but they prepared beforehand and funneled energy toward that struck side. Immediately both are knocked away and flung out of the fire. This is exactly Takeshi's most reasonable way of support.
Aoto flies in the air, he stares at the dragon spitting fire downward. The right hand is non-stop funneling energy into an energy spear and the very dark green color shows there is a lot of energy inside.
Two large pairs of wings like dragonfly wings continuously flap very fast. Widening shoulders and entering a throwing posture. He throws the energy spear toward the dragon.
The energy spear darts away extremely fast with great power; the dragon just cut the fire from its mouth and was immediately stabbed straight into the neck part by the spear, making it sway even while flying.
"The Dragon race and Elemental race have a long-standing friendship; is it okay for me to attack the dragon race now?"
The dragon clearly shows discomfort.
"Dare to bully me?"
But not yet giving time for the dragon to act. Elyssia with great speed closes in right at the dragon's neck. She swings a very strong slash at close range.
Whoosh!!!
The dragon is hit by the slash, making its neck have a clearly visible slash line with a quite wide range. It was flying a distance from the ground when hit by the slash and immediately lowered into the range where the dragon's fire-spitting phase still had burning fire.
The dragon becomes even more angry.
"I will give you a lesson; even if you are strong races, I don't care."
The wound on its neck is recovering at very fast speed; it spreads its wings wide and flaps hard making the forest lean and sway. Darting up into the sky. The dragon wants to fight with all its strength.
Kazuka is standing and looking up at the sky; immediately the sky glows bright, a rain of fire falls in large intervals like a boulder. Kazuka opens his eyes wide and immediately funnels much energy to his feet and runs very fast evading.
"Why so many?"
Aoto immediately flies back, and shouts loudly:
"Everyone be careful, this dragon seems to have gone crazy."
Whoosh!!!
The dragon flies low close to the forest edge, two wings spread wide tearing the wind and flying away extremely fast. In a flash, it has flown very close. Its throat turns red in one area and prepares to spit fire.
Immediately the eye on Airi's Blood Night Sword opens after it senses danger. Airi darts away to one side wanting to avoid the dragon's flight path.
The dragon opens its mouth wide and spits fire downward and maintains it for a long stretch making the forest swept away in a wide range, fire burning a large area red-hot, hot air rising. The fire gradually rushes toward Airi, but energy from the sword suddenly overflows and protects her.
The dragon blows to Airi's spot; it thinks she will be incinerated and senses this energy is a bit strange but [thinks] she just died suddenly before having time to disappear. It still maintains the fire and rushes toward Takeshi in the distance, but his earth element is very flexible; immediately earth around like a net wraps his person and pulls him down into the ground; the dragon knows Takeshi will dive so it stops and maintains the large fire. Takeshi beneath the ground, rocks and dirt surround and hug him tight; he is diving as deep as possible; the ground shakes making him clearly sense this vibration is approaching.
Airi at this time turns back to look at the dragon with a look of panic; she pants looking around at the sea of fire and the deep hole created by the dragon. She looks down at her sword; that red eye is gradually closing. It used up all the large amount of energy it had accumulated until now to protect her.
Whoosh!!!
Ayaka's wind-tearing arrow with great speed rushes in.
Boom!!!
Stabs straight into the dragon's head and creates a large explosion, smoke and dust flying hazily. The dragon flaps wings flying out of the smoke with only a slight scratch.
Seizing the opportunity. Elyssia springs strongly into the air; the dragon immediately detects it and turns over. But it then senses a large energy in front.
Kazuka with a large energy source funneled into his sword, he grits his teeth bracing with extreme tension.
"If a normal slash won't do, it must be really strong."
Kazuka's large slash sweeps across with a large range cutting away a large part of the forest and launches diagonally upward toward the panicked dragon.
The dragon lashes its tail and knocks Elyssia away; it was cautious of Elyssia from long ago. But Kazuka's slash strike it did not evade in time.
The slash launches straight at its chest making the dragon give a loud roar and fly back to the rear a distance. Looking at the slash it seems quite strong, but actually only causes a somewhat large but not deep wound as it pierced through its hard skin. With this wound, it can be recovered instantly.
"This is the time." Aoto snatches the chance. He has prepared a large spear with green energy as large as a pillar and wrapped by the wind element like a hurricane that can tear everything apart.
