Dragon KingPart 2
The Dragon King floated in the sky in a grandiose manner with its four wings. The flapping of said wings was so strong, it blew up a dust storm.
In the ga, its behavior would match that of a Wind Dragon.
They were a subset of dragons with large wings, slim bodies and long tails. However, this dragon was about thirty ters tall and its thick limbs seed strong enough to easily cut anyone that carelessly approached in half.
The dragon seed like it could use the large sword in my hand as a toothpick. Quite impressive considering my sword had temporarily doubled in length thanks to a skill Id activated.
In the ga, earth attribute attacks would have an advantage over wind attribute foes. Unfortunately, it was hard to hit a flying enemy with earth based attacks.
I could try using Rock Bullet, but I rembered that airborne wyverns were able to easily dodge the attack.
There was a teor fall magic spell that a certain high-level occupation could learn, but Heavenly Knights lacked that ability.
A being capable of flight was truly a nacing opponent.
It was also doubtful that the attribute balancing had an effect in this world in the first place.
Here I co, Youngling!!
At his shout, the Dragon Kings body began to emit a radiant light. With a flick of its massive wings, an invisible force cut down the trees between us as it approached .
It was similar to the wind attribute attack, Kamaitachi I remained calm with my Holy Thunder Sword and invoked a spell to dodge the invisible force.
Dinsional Step!
Just before the invisible attack reached , I vanished.
Huh!?
I materialized right beneath the Dragon Kings feet. Since the Dragon King had lost sight of , he was frantically scanning the area for .
The wind generated by the Dragon Kings wing flaps was quite furious and almost sent
flying as I honed in on the long tail that was hanging off the end of the Dragon Kings body.
It would be ineffective to attack the main body with my sword.
Because it was difficult to pinpoint sothing moving in midair, I had transferred to this location and slowly made my way to the tail, so as to not be blown away.
Lets see if my attacks can connect.
I looked up at the Dragon King as I pulled back my sword.
!!? Reveal thyself!!
His long tail drooped as he spoke, which gave
the opening I needed to launch a firm attack. An intense shock ran through my blade when it made contact with the tail.
A tallic clang youd never expect to hear from a living creatures skin rang out as fresh blood coated my armor and everything in the vicinity.
As expected of the pinnacle of Dragons, his scales were strong enough to match mythical grade weapons.
Huuuuuhhhhh!!
The Dragon King let out a cry between a wail and a shout as he flapped his wing harder and turned around.
As the increased wind shattered my stance, I saw the low hanging tail heading straight for .
Before it reached , I invoked my transfer magic again.
Dinsional Step!
My view instantaneously changed to the Dragon Kings blind spot beneath his tail. However, the Dragon King raised his tail faster that he should have been able to and whipped it at .
Huh!?
Recognizing the danger, I invoked Dinsional Step three tis in order to put so distance between us.
You, youre using the sa technique as Hanzo! It appears this one cant be careless either!!
The Dragon King soared into the sky above the forest after he said that and began circling it.
After picking up so speed and montum, the Dragon King dove at
with the claws on his hind legs fully extended.
I wasnt daring enough to take on such a huge enemy moving at such speed with a sword.
At the sa ti I used transfer magic to dodge the attack, I invoked an earth attribute spell in the place I had been standing.
Stone Fangs!!
The stone spikes that rose from the ground hit the noise-diving Dragon King head on, but they shattered upon collision, causing a cloud of dust and debris to fly into the air as a sound reminiscent of a teor strike rocked the area.
From inside the dust cloud, the Dragon King opened his wings and rose into the sky like a missile.
The shock wave from the forceful takeoff hit
like a brick and was enough to clear the area of debris.
Id be obliterated if I took sothing like that head on.
How long dost thou plan to scurry about!? This ti you wont escape!!
When he finished speaking, the Dragon King soared higher above the forest before falling in a magnificent arc.
In order to neutralize the Dragon King, it might be necessary to use the strongest offensive skills available to Heavenly Knights.
However, itd take a considerable amount of ti to complete the necessary preparations.
Turning my attention to the Dragon King, I ran out into the open and held out my hand to invoke a new spell.
Co forth, he who rules the skies! Seteka!!
An enormous magic circle appeared in front of . I could feel my mana pouring into it as the circles complex symbols started shifting and wind began to gather at its center.
A large tornado burst from the magic circle and wrecked havoc on the forest as it rose into the heavens.
The summoned beasts that I could use were too powerful to be used against human opponents, but there wasnt a problem if I used them against a Dragon King.
The Dragon King smiled a little when he saw the tornado, but his speed didnt decrease and his body began to emit light again.
It seems that he attended to level this entire area with the Dragon Breath attack he used before.
Sothing like a carpet bombing strategy.
The green light covered the Dragon Kings mouth and the next mont a beam of light was sent flying towards my direction.
When the Dragon Breath attack collided with the tornado in front of , the beam of light dispersed as if it had hit an invisible wall.
I sohow made it in ti.
The humanoid summoned beast was over five ters tall.
Four large ears stood up atop the summon beasts head, it had a long face and gray skin but strangest of all was its four-ard, bipedal, giant anteater-like body.
Since it was a humanoid beast, the creature wore a ornanted burka on its body, wielded a kindjal in two of its hands and shields in the others. The summoned beast was also calmly floating in the air thanks to the tornado under its feet.
This was a summoned beast of the interdiate level that could create wind blades and area of effect storms.
It was a summoned beast that used the sa wind attribute as the Dragon King and could fly.
Seteka opened and closed its eyes before focusing its golden pupils on the approaching dragon, starting to emit light and wind from its body.
What is that mass of spiritual power!? Could it be one of the Spirit Kings!?
I heard the Dragon Kings surprised shout in my head just as he collided with the Seteka, which had surrounded itself in a raging storm.
The force created by the collision sent a destructive storm through the area.
The over thirty ter tall dragon and the five ter tall summoned beast rose above the forest while intensely fighting.
Sparks flew as the Seteka held its kindjal against the claws on the Dragon King forepaws.
A similar standoff occurred when the Dragon King went in for a bite. Every ti the two engaged each other, a shock wave jolted
to my very core.
When the two disengaged from each other, the constant bombardnt of long ranged magic attacks from both sides prevented either from closing the gap.
Countless wounds had appeared on the two of them as the long and short-range battles continued. Seteka was by no ans inferior to the Dragon King in terms of power.
Despite that, there was a limit to how long a summoned beast could last.
So it wasnt the deciding factor in this battle.
However, it was a temporary distraction that had bought
enough ti.
The four most powerful skills of the Heavenly Knight: The Executor, The Judge, The Guardian, and The Prophet.
Each skill is equivalent to a weapon of mass destruction. There was no wiggle room when using them and each carried a twelve-hour cooldown ti. Even with my large mana pool I could only use three of them at a ti.
Since the enemy was a Dragon King, The Judge may be the best one to use.
It would allow
to soar in the sky like the Dragon King after all.
I returned my gaze to the battle raging in the sky.
The skill was rather annoying to use in the ga, so I wondered what would actually happen when I used it That was the question running through my mind as the Dragon Kings and summoned beasts fierce battle unfolded before my eyes.
I was certain that taking this guy down would create an imasurable amount of collateral damage.
But there was no helping it.
As I raised my sword to the sky, a surge of power filled my body as I prepared to activate the skill However, a group of water wolf summons suddenly hit the Dragon King and the summoned beast.
I recognized those wolves as sothing created with Chios ninjutsu.
Please halt this duel, Dragon King-sama!!
Chio leaped out of the remains of the forest, did an impressive aerial twist and soundlessly landed in front of , pleading with the Dragon King in the sky.
She managed to run all the way over here without any transfer magic. The trendous speed of a ninja is quite terrifying.
When the Dragon King saw Chio, he stopped moving and narrowed his reptilian eyes at her.
Ho That appearance, art thou a mber of Hanzos clan?
The Dragon King had brought up that na a while ago, when I used Dinsional Step, so maybe he had so connection to Chios Clan.
Although she was a little startled by the Dragon Kings question, Chio managed to answer him.
My na is Chio. I possess one of the six titles that have been passed down since Hanzo the first led the clan.
The Dragon King smiled a little at her reply.
One so young, already bearing a spirit crystal Is that a testant your skill or of your clans decline?
Chio looked up at the sky when she heard the Dragon Kings calm voice.
Then I heard the familiar voice of the last person late to this party.
Dragon King, that person is our companion. My na is Ariane Glenys Maple, of Great Canada Forest. Would you please excuse his rude behavior and listen to our story?
Kyun!
Arianes long, white hair was jostled by the wind that the Dragon Kings flapping wings created.
The fluffy-tailed Ponta barked at the enormous dragon as she sat on Arianes shoulder.
There was no sign of Pontas timid nature as she stared down the Dragon King. She was even wagging her tail in an attempt to get its attention.
Ariane, also acting out of character, had knelt before the Dragon King and spoke to him in a polite tone.
When Ariane appeared, the Seteka that had been fighting the Dragon King disappeared into thin air.
It seems the ti limit had run out.
The Dragon Kings fighting spirit faded as well and he landed on the ground in front of us before folding his large wings.
I returned my sword to my sheath and broke my combat stance.
Forest dweller from beyond the mountains This one is known as Williahsfim. I will accept your apology and hear you out.
The Dragon King identified himself with a snort strong enough to blow up a dust cloud.
