Lucas Ciffer returned to the forest, but this ti he didn't bother killing any monsters. Instead, he wanted to see his old pal the red Dragon.
He walked towards the cave and he could see the Red Dragon sitting near the entrance. It was still huge but this ti its wings were smaller and its body hunched over. It had two wings but it used its two behind legs to stand up. The Dragon was old and its scales were a faded red color.
"Hey." The red Dragon heard him. "You again."
"Hey, Dragon. It's been a while."
"Yeah, you left without even saying goodbye." the dragon laughed.
Lucas was surprised that the Dragon seed to be more confident.
"Anyways. I wanted to talk to you about sothing" Lucas said in a worried tone. His expression suddenly changed. "Tell how can I kill demons. I need to destroy a couple of them once and for all!"
"Mhm..." The dragon scratched his chin with his enlarged claw while thinking. "You're powerful enough to do it yourself you know."
"I know. But I don't know how to." Lucas punched a wall, cracking it.
"Alright. Here's the thing. Why don't you use the power of endless darkness?"
"Eh? I can't control it." Lucas frowned. "Well... I can, but doesn't it harm ?"
"You don't need to control it. Just let it flow through you. Let your emotions out."
"But isn't that exactly the situation I was trying to avoid?" His eyes twitched in irritation as the dragon shrugged. "You like to contradict yourself," he said as his eyes started to glow.
The situation was tense. If a fight broke out, the dragon would be at an extre disadvantage, surrounded by the walls and without room to maneuver. The air grew heavy with the breath of six people both eager to begin the fight and yet neither wanted to make the first move. Lucas glared daggers at the dragon who instantly stepped back.
"Hey, look. You asked and I gave you an answer."
The dragon's nostrils flared and smoke billowed from its mouth as it let out an angry roar. Lucas's fists were clenched and glowing dark aura, his brow furrowed, and veins pulsed along his temples as he snarled back at the beast.
Lucas sighed and relaxed. He gazed at the dragon and gave him a question.
"Is it the only way?" Lucas scratched his head in annoyance, making it bleed.
"Kid? Tell what happened." The dragon asked in concern as Lucas sighed.
"It's a long story. I can't take it out right now." he shook his head.
"I've got all the ti in the world." The red dragon smiled.
"I'm sure you do." Lucas smiled back. He leaned against the wall and nodded. "Alright, I will tell you."
"I am going to kill a certain demon king, his na is..." he said, but stopped in the middle of the sentence as he realized that this red dragon could be acquainted with him. "Do you know soone nad Thomas?"
"Who?" The dragon asked in confusion, but then his eyes widened. "Wait... did you say, demon king?!"
"Yes. Is sothing wrong?" Lucas tilted his head in confusion and scratched his head again. "Do you know the guy?
The dragon was stunned by the audacity of the boy with a nacing stare. An angel brat in front of him was planning to challenge a demon king. 'What the hell happened?!' he asked himself.
"Are you insane?!" he roared. "Do you have a death wish?!"
"Aren't I immortal?" Lucas chuckled. "I already sparred against him once. We were on the sa level. That's why I ask you how to defeat him." Lucas explained.
The dragon stared in disbelief for a dozen seconds which turned into a minute that turned into dozens. He inhaled deeply, shaking his head in frustration.
"Kid. Are you from another planet or sothing?" then he tilted his head. "Or are you dreaming?"
"What do you an?" Lucas smirked. "Do you think I am lying or sothing?"
"You expect to believe you were already on a demon king's level?"
"What should I say then? I'm telling you the truth." He sighed.
Lucas was annoyed a little but kept his composure.
"Alright, kid. Let get this straight. You were in a battle with the demon king and you were on equal footing?"
"Yes."
"You really expect to believe that?"
"Why shouldn't you believe ?"
"I fought you! You are strong! But... But..." The dragon stared at Lucas in disbelief. "You are a child!"
"Dude..." Lucas's eye twitched in irritation again. "I will punch you. I beca stronger than we last fought anyway."
"H-How?"
"I killed a human... or two... a dozen maybe?" Lucas wondered as he already lost count of how many thugs he killed ever since he ca to this world.
"You know what?" the dragon said with a smirk on his face.
"Let's fight. If you win, I will believe you."
Lucas nodded, gesturing for the dragon to co outside the cave. They both just stood there, sizing each other up.
"This is getting exciting!" Lucas felt the adrenaline pulsing through him as he placed his hand on his chest and felt his racing heart. "Let's go." He scread.
Not wanting to wait any longer, Lucas assembled his powers around him, encasing himself in a layer of dark mana and giving him wings of the sa power and armor tougher than before.
The dragon felt the surge of dark power and wagged his tail in excitent. He took off from the ground and swiped at Lucas with his claws. Lucas dodged the attack and felt the wind blow from the attack.
With a smirk on his face, Lucas went in for a counter but he was t with another one. He could feel the pain run through his body, his armor cracking. He tumbled to the ground and flipped in the air, landing on the ground and standing up. He was laughing like a maniac.
