Chapter 820 Against the Dragon
Meanwhile, as Mennena was trying to steal the Golden Key somewhere in the castle, Aersus didn’t immediately escape from the scene.
His draconic form silhouetted against the moonlit sky, and he maintained a vigilant watch over the castle’s perimeter. His keen senses, however, were carefully monitoring any signs of impending danger. As the night wore on, a sense of foreboding gripped his heart, a whisper of unease that hinted at the shadows lurking within the fortress’s depths.
“She’s in danger…” Aersus muttered as he suddenly realized that he could no longer sense Mennena’s presence.
He was right; entering the castle was just plain stupid, and it was simply a suicide.
Then, as Aersus sought to establish contact with Mennena, a subtle shift in the night’s air caught his attention.
With a keen sense honed by centuries of existence, he detected the unmistakable presence of another dragon drawing near.
“So it’s really him…” Aersus muttered.
He only had unconfirmed information before, but now, he was able to confirm that one of the Dragons living in the Shadow Immortal’s castle was an entity known as Orden. This time, Orden assumed a human guise, much like Aersus himself.
Silent as a phantom, Orden materialized behind Aersus, his presence a strong fluctuation of draconic aura. Orden wasn’t hiding the fact that he was a Dragon in human guise.
“Aersus… I had not anticipated your arrival,” Orden’s voice resonated with a tone of both surprise and suspicion, his gaze fixed amusedly upon Aersus.
Aersus, meeting Orden’s gaze with a calm demeanor, acknowledged the looming tension between them.
They were not friends, although they were both dragons.
Nonetheless, he didn’t immediately answer as Aersus decided to turn himself back to his human form. He swiftly underwent a transformation, assuming a human form that mirrored the Dragon’s imposing presence. Indeed, he wasn’t hiding his Draconic Aura as well, unlike when he first met Mennena.
“I am but a hired agent of the Fey Spirit. I’m just commissioned to breach the castle’s formidable barriers. My quarrel lies not with you, Orden,” Aersus spoke with a measured tone, seeking to diffuse the mounting animosity between them.
However, Orden, his draconic pride, wouldn’t let this matter go just like that. He refused to accept Aersus’s explanation.
“The act of shattering the protective veil that cloaked the castle was an act of defiance, a challenge that cannot go unanswered. The Shadow Immortal demands retribution, and you shall face me in battle,” Orden declared, his voice tinged with a steely resolve that allowed no opposition.
As the tension between the two dragons reached its peak, the patch of land became a stage for their duel. ***
Meanwhile, Magnus watched the battle of the two Dragon’s from a distance while repairing the Formation Arts that were destroyed.
He immediately gathered a few Recording Crystals as he knew that this battle would be epic. It had to be archived and let everyone in the future know about it.
“I heard that Vale wanted to establish an academy… It would be great if he could add this in the library or archives.” Magnus muttered as he looked into the distance.
Orden, the Rune Dragon known as the purple Dragon, faced off against Aersus, the Soul Eater who had a blue and white scale a while ago before it transformed back to his human form.
Soon, dark clouds gathered above them as the moonlight was instantly blocked, making the surrounding place truly dark…
Magnus could only see them through his Arcane Vision that allowed him to see arcane energies…
Soon, the battle started.
Orden unleashed a torrent of Dragon Runic Spells. Each Rune was different as they targeted Aersus without any pause.
However, with a swift wave of his hand, Aersus countered with a barrage of energy-draining techniques. The runes shattered as they lost their energy…
He didn’t stop there. He continued his counterattack as he released a pulsating orb of energy with an otherworldly glow that sought to enclose Orden within their dark embrace!
As the battle continued, the patch of land barely lasted for a minute before it was destroyed and created a crater amidst the two special entities.
Each Dragon spell colliding would create a powerful shockwave, and if not for Aersus’s energy-draining techniques, the damage to the surroundings would be even greater!
Orden’s runes clashed against Aersus’s soul-stealing magic, creating an intricate clash of Draconic Spells!
In their human forms, the two combatants moved like a blur, and they certainly defied mortal understanding at this point.
“Haha! This is getting more and more interesting… However, I think that’s enough for a warm-up…” Aersus said.
“That’s true… We should start fighting seriously. I noticed that you’re not in your perfect state yet, but I hope that you won’t use it as a reason once you’ve lost.” Orden said.
“Since I can’t use my strongest spells yet… Let’s switch…” Aersus replied.
As the clash of Dragon Spells proved to be a futile exchange, Aersus and Orden seamlessly transitioned into a fierce melee of physical combat.
With every strike and parry, the forest resonated with the thunderous impact of their titanic confrontation.
The surrounding towns had even thought that they were hearing thunderstrikes at this point! However, the truth was even more terrifying: it was the clash of the two Dragons!
Orden launched a series of lightning-fast strikes aimed at Aersus… While Aersus met each blow with calculated move, his defenses were truly incredible against the Rune Dragon’s relentless assault.
The forest was soon filled with the sound of colliding forces as Aersus countered with a swift kick that grazed Orden’s flank, eliciting a low growl of defiance from the formidable dragon.
“Tsk… You have trained well with your human form…”
In response, Orden retaliated with a series of rapid punches that sought to breach Aersus’s defenses, each strike a testament to the Rune Dragon’s mastery of close-quarters combat. It seemed that he had trained a lot with his human body as well!
With a deft movement, Aersus executed a lightning-quick dodge, narrowly evading Orden’s onslaught before launching a powerful counterattack of his own.
His fists blurred with blinding speed as he unleashed another series of strikes that tested the limits of Orden’s endurance!
“Haha! This is fun!” Aersus laughed as he seemed to forget where he really was.
He was still in the territory of the enemy!
