771 Little Flying Lizard
“Ok dark lord,” that dude seemed to feel the seriousness of the current situation, so it didn’t complain about me calling it a turtle this time.
It controlled its falling rocks and let them aim towards the centre of that region.
“Humph! Do you think I, the Hector king here, is just as weak as the ones you faced before? That’s a joke!”
“A king?” I snorted, “it went into our human heritage that a king can’t be born without killing another king. So let me ascend the throne while holding your head.”
“Humph! Big words coming from such a little kid! I didn’t know why they awakened me from my slumber, but I’ll see how good you are. You got a turtle dragon on your side, then let me show you what real dragons look like! Come forth!”
It seemed he could hear me perfectly fine. At the same time, it was apparent that he was one of those formidable figures that didn’t like to get offended.
And something told me he had all the capital to back his words up. He gave me such a vibe, that a deadly beast was looking at me, breathing out in front of my face, while picturing my death.
He was different, not like any weak and idiotic royals I fought all this time in this war.
“Come then,” I welcomed his strong words with such a cold tone, “let me see how capable you are!”
*Rumble!*
“Don’t be so impatient, you’ll see everything right now.”
Just as he said that, the sky rumbled as another orange ball of light appeared. This king seemed to have an orange energy grade, something I never saw before.
*Roar!*
And just in less than a single minute, and under the shower of such burning rocks falling fiercely all over the castle and the area around it, an ear shattering roar came before a magnificent creature came out from that ball.
“Dark lord… It’s a hybrid monster that evolved into a dragon,” the loud voice of my little turtle came even before I could see the full picture of that creature.
“Is it stronger than you?”
“It is,” my little turtle gave back such an honest answer, “but not that much stronger.”
“That’s a relief,” if it was much stronger than my little turtle, then dealing with it would be a problem.
“I’m a dark realm monster, dark lord, and I got evolved by your pure dark energy. This monster is just a hybrid which got to such a stage using treasures and shortcuts.”
“I got it,” I understood better what the newcomer was like.
It wasn’t that scary in reality. But from its shape and appearance, it could scare any soul standing in front of it.
That island was huge? Then another huge dragon appeared right next to it.
That dragon had sharp scales, looking like they were big and sharp spears. It was a western shaped dragon, with a horn extending from the middle of its head.
It flapped its gigantic two wings slowly, creating a gust of wind, looking like a storm just hit this place.
“Let’s see how you will stand against my little lizard.”
“Humph, if you got a little lizard, then I’m curious to see what it will do against my little turtle,” I didn’t show any sign of weakness while responding back in the same sharp tongue as that king did.
“Show them how real fire is, my little lizard.”
*Roar!*
Once it said that, that dragon roared. It seemed what my little turtle said was true. Even when that monster got to such a stage in its evolution, it didn’t do it the right way.
It was roaring and not talking, a step lower at least than my little turtle.
But what came next made me feel cold at the back of my head.
My little turtle was bringing fiery rocks down here from the sky, controlling the ground to bring forth deadly burning rocks with lava from the heart of the ground.
But that hybrid monster brought fire directly from its mouth! It didn’t use anything else and just opened its mouth wide, and a terrifying ball of purple orange fire started to get in shape.
That hit… It was going to devastate lots of my forces in mere seconds! Even if it wasn’t on par with my little turtle in terms of grade, it was much fiercer at the moment.
“Do you think I’ll let you have your way? Funny! Let me fight you with something that initially belonged to your race… Thundering Might!”
I instantly switched my glaive with my pillar. The moment I used it, the pillar expanded as usual, linking ground with heaven.
“My race is a sacred artefact? How come this in your hands? How come it answers you?!!”
The shock was apparent in his tone, and that made me laugh.
“It seems you slept for too long, my dear king,” I said in such a mocking way that was answered with an angry shout from that king.
“I’ll kill you and retrieve it! Then I’ll find those pathetic descendants of mine and punish them!”
So… He was the one who truly ruled and unified a world before. That suited the demeanour he emitted, making me take this fight more seriously than ever.
“But… Do you think I don’t have a way to stop that artefact skill? Hilarious! You think too little of me!”
Just as he said that, an orb was shot high in the sky before it fiercely slammed against my pillar in a blink of an eye.
I got no time to intervene and stop that orb. It looked like a ball of orange light, and once it hit my pillar, it started to ignite before exploding in such a fierce manner.
“Hahaha! Your pillar is now sealed. It won’t do anything…”
Just in the middle of his words, that king had to pause out of shock. He got the right to feel that way.
