Chapter 123 - Killing The Bronzed Giant Mage
This didn't end here, as his skin started to shine, with bronze luster. It didn't completely cover his skin with a bronze layer like the giant Arthur fought from before, which gave him a clue over the current mage's strength.
He was weak! Much weaker than the giant he previously fought!
'He isn't that much stronger than me, and he seemed to just awaken his powers like me, interesting,' he thought to himself, while taking out a group of ores, then poured explosive oil over it, before taking out one fire pit as he warned:
"Stay away, now!"
Noura sensed the great changes occurring to the two, and the great risk Arthur was facing right now. she didn't know how or why he took out these ores, this oil, and this fire, but once she heard him, she retreated at once to the back, with great speed.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, fire exploded very violently, as Arthur had taken out his most violent explosive oil and used it here. there was no time to waste, as he needed fire to transform, while that youth was about to finish his transformation.
"Oh, you want to burn yourself alive! That's the one you brought to speak with me? A coward!!"
The youth was rude, as he mistakenly took Arthur's actions to be suicidal. Noura, however, knew Arthur very well, and she knew he wouldn't do a thing without a reason, a good reason away from committing suicide!
Arthur didn't give any heed to that arrogant kid, swearing inside to make him regret giving him the chance to transform. For the first fight with his dragonair powers, Arthur had already grasped his first weakness, transformation.
To transform he needed some requirements first! That wasn't logic, as in fights like these, if this kid wasn't intoxicated with his own powers, he would be in grave danger.
He closed his eyes, and started circulating his own energy very fast, instigating I to appear. The moment he did so, the whole fire around him, which was already docile to him, trying to approach his body without hurting him, starting to act berserk.
The fire suddenly erupted everywhere around him, reaching to the youth in mere seconds, approaching Noura with great speed and momentum.
'Damn!' she inwardly cursed as she retreated further, with all her might, evading fire. The fire slashed the huge body of the youth, dealing a strong blow to him, throwing him to the ground, tens of meters back, rolling his huge body on the ground, covering it with fire, until he stopped just a few meters away from the lake.
At the beginning of the fight, and without doing anything, Arthur had already beaten him to such a state! That was taken as an insult, injuring this youth extreme arrogance, so he stood up with extreme rage, not caring about the fire that was now surrounding his body, trying to eat through his fortified bronzed skin, while looking at Arthur, as he screamed:
"You will die a horrible death!"
"Roar!"
The moment the youth stood up, Arthur had already completed his transformation in the mere seconds he was rolling away under the effect of his fire. The bronzed descendant looked with extreme shock to the big dragon which just appeared in the place of Arthur, with one word repeating itself inside his mind.
"A dragonair! You are a dragonair!" he suddenly shouted with extreme shock, and deep hatred, "I will kill you, the last dragonair on these lands, and avenge the death of my ancestors!" he bellowed before starting to run towards Arthur, who was now in dragon body.
"What the hell is going on?!!" on the rear, far in the distance, Noura was watching this fight, this crazy fight, that made her realize she knew nothing about this world!
This wasn't a mere mages fight that she used to see at the academy or outside it, this was a monster fight, fight from another world and era that she knew nothing about!
Arthur didn't wait for that giant to reach him, as he started to move on his own, walking away from the fire that was totally absorbed by his body to make this dragon form appear.
The moment he moved, he was astonished by his greater speed, which he never tested before. The last time when he entered this form, he just started flying, not caring about anything else!
However, right now he was able to taste how mighty his form was! He didn't need to learn anything, for now, as he alone was a deadly weapon.
The moment the two approached each other, Arthur flipped his wings a little, making his big dragon body fly a couple of meters off the ground, smashing heavily on the giant upper body, taking it down with him towards the ground.
"Boom!"
They collided heavily on the ground, where they created a deep pit. Arthur didn't stop there, as he used his two mighty claws of his wings, and started hacking this giant body.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Each strike caused a severe shocking wave, making the pit even deeper. Each claw of his managed to break through this kid's strong defensive skin, making it look much fragile, like it wasn't covered by anything from the start!
The body of this giant suddenly started to show deep wounds, as his red blood started to ooze like fountains from each place Arthur's claws reached. The giant screamed in pain over and over again, and he tried to break free from Arthur, who used his heavy dragon body to pin the giant to the ground.
"Roar!"
Arthur roared, as he plunged his sharp teeth into the neck of that giant, biting off a big chunk of meat out of it, before spitting it to the side. The state of this arrogant and mighty giant deteriorated fast, however he wasn't that weak after all.
"Boom!"
Suddenly the giant used his hand to deal a strong blow to Arthur's body, making him feel some pain.
'So, you can fight back, great, show me what you got then!"
The fight suddenly turned into a dog's battle, with each side hitting the other with his mightiest strikes, without caring about dodging, without caring about injuries.
They were both absorbed in the fight and they kept doing this for the whole ten minutes. the first one to fall would be the loser, and Arthur was confident he wouldn't be the first to fall here!
He had already started the fight with great advantage, and these deep wounds he dealt first to the giant made the result clear. After another ten minutes, and just a few minutes before his dragon form expired, the giant moves started to weaken, and his eyes started to dim.
He was dying, and at this moment Arthur plunged again at his neck shoulder joining part and ripped it off with his sharp teeth, dealing the killing blow to his mortal enemy.
"Roar!"
Arthur roared, announcing his victory, while the giant just loosened his hands, and his body lost all his vitality.
This fight was very taxing on Arthur, but it was his victory after all. He moved, with his big body, walking out of the pit which now was more like a deep crater. Noura watched him from far, with shock and fear over her face.
She never ever expected this easy going mage to be a monster! much stronger and far brutal than the mage that turned her life into hell already. Opposite to that dead bronzed giant, Arthur wasn't trying to ruin her life, he already just saved her! Saved her grandfather!
