Flashy Adventurer System : Show Off to Get Stronger! Chapter 844: I Shall Claim One In the Afterlife

The distance between the two dragons decreased by the second, Shye's fists clenching tighter.

'Fine then, I shall bear testant to your resolve, nas.' he thought.

The next mont, the roaring flas made contact with the howling winds, causing black smoke to cover the entire scene as the fla energy exploded violently.

No one except the two dragons knew what was going on.

Did the challenger already succumb to his injuries?

There was no way a barely breathing elder fire dragon could survive such a clash, no?

It was then that two figures—the silhouettes of their bodies interlocked with each other—began to crash down from the clearing skies.

As the majestic sun resud its duties of providing golden rays of light to the world, everyone could finally see what was happening clearly.

nas positioned himself behind Zephyrus, locking the emperor's arms in a full-nelson hold while sinking his teeth into the back of Zephyrus's slightly elongated, silver-scaled neck.

The elder fire dragon then unleashed a torrent of flas from his mouth, roasting the Wind Dragon Emperor at point-blank range.

Caught off guard, Zephyrus could only roar in anguish.

He could feel his flesh scales slowly giving way as his flesh lted.

The emperor struggled as hard as he could, but unfortunately, his arms were locked in place.

He couldn't move.

For a few seconds, the rather brutal yet glorious scene continued to unfold.

As the dragons neared the ground, the Wind Dragon Emperor's roar grew louder and his resistance, fiercer.

But none worked.

"Let go, you fool! At this rate, we'll both die!" the Wind Dragon Emperor roared in panic, half of his head grotesquely burned.

He hoped to drill so sense into nas' mind.

Unfortunately for him, sense and logic had never been a fire dragon's strong point, and his logical argunt was t with a mad laugh.

"HAHAHAHAHA! Then so be it!" nas roared in response. "If there's no throne for in this life, I'll claim one in the afterlife and begin my reign there. As for your crown, I'll bury it with you!"

Imdiately after the elder fire dragon finished speaking, the two dragons slamd into the ground of the vast Windswept Plains, sending dirt and flora flying in all directions.

Despite their flight speed and the gravity working in unison to speed up their descent, it still took nas and Zephyrus a few seconds before they arrived at the ground—a testant to the dangerous altitude they ca from.

Even dragons with physiques as tough as theirs would suffer from broken bones and mangled flesh after crashing from such a height at full throttle.

Shye could feel his connection with nas slowly dissipating, causing his teeth to make cracking sounds due to how much force he was applying to his grit.

His nails had also dug into the flesh of his palms.

He hadn't spent a lot of ti with this elder fire dragon ta, but nas' peerless resolve made Shye appreciate him.

The feelings in Shye's heart, however, weren't of grief but rather regret over the loss of a mighty and extrely competent underling.

'Was there anything I could have done in preparation to increase the chances of the second thod succeeding?' he wondered, the thought gnawing at him.

He felt guilty for having little faith in turning nas into an emperor.

If he just believed more, he would've made more preparations.

Soon, the dust cleared, revealing two figures lying on their backs—their wings utterly destroyed.

nas and Zephyrus spat out alarming volus of blood, and their eyes slowly began to dim.

Yet, despite being on death's door, a weak laugh escaped the forr, his words clear as day in the now-silent plains.

"Hahaha, I bet…you never expected…this day to co so soon, cowardly emperor." nas taunted, wasting whatever small energy he had left.

Zephyrus, on the other hand, was unfamiliar with the feeling of barely breathing.

In fact, this was his first experience being so close to death.

He couldn't even find and muster the energy to retort.

Nonetheless, although boring as his opponent couldn't even talk back, nas kept on going.

"Hahaha…yes, go and kick the damn bucket first. I shall follow you to the afterlife soon enough with your crown in my head."

Realizing that their emperor was dying, the wind dragons howled in a storm of emotions—joy at the thought of newfound freedom, yet profound grief for the loss of the emperor they once revered and worshipped, who was now about to leave the world forever.

On the other side, however, it was only boundless regret.

Seeing nas' current state, Shye knew that while there was a slim possibility of saving the elder fire dragon if he acted now, he couldn't, as he had to make sure that Zephyrus died first.

Otherwise, it would count as him intervening.

nas would undoubtedly not appreciate him doing so.

'Appraisal! Appraisal! Appraisal!'

Shye desperately used his appraisal skill, repeatedly checking for a '(Corpse)' indicator beside the Wind Dragon Emperor's na.

He was in a battle against ti, as his connection with nas was already flickering, which ant that the elder fire dragon himself was about to lose his life.

Unfortunately, it seed that his ta was destined to die today.

The Wind Dragon Emperor desperately clung on to his life.

After ten long seconds, Zephyrus finally departed, prompting Shye to spring into action and swiftly reappear beside nas, who was still spouting fighting words.

"Bahaha…crap, I can't hear anything…hey, coward…have you…died already?" the elder fire dragon said, turning its attention to Shye upon noticing him arrive. "Oh? Master, great timing…tell …did…I…win?"

"Yes, great job, nas, you won. Zephyrus had already died." Shye confird, retrieving multiple peak-grade potions from his inventory as fast as he could while doing so.

Although nas couldn't hear his words, the elder fire dragon still managed to read his lips, causing a satisfied smile to erge on his draconic face.

"Bahahahkk!...Finally…I can depart in peace…" nas laughed one last ti.

Shye poured health potion after health potion into his dying ta's mouth, but unfortunately, the bodies of dragons were way larger than humans.

A potion would only take effect after at least thirty seconds.

Sadly, nas couldn't last that long, and the connection between them was completely snuffed out just a few seconds later.
