Chapter 289 Purple Slithering
ROAR! The drakaina roared, swinging her claw at the purple dragon. BAM! He blocked the claw and smacked her on the head with his tail. “Know your place!” He growled but found his claw freezing.
“Damn it,” The purple dragon grunted as purple plasma burst from beneath his scales, melting the ice.
CLAP! As he glared at the red drakaina, he heard something explode in the distance like thunder. He turned his head, only to see a glance of Arad flying toward his face.
“It’s you again?” He gasped, and Arad swung his claw.
The purple dragon swung his wing down to smack Arad to the ground. ZON! Arad teleported behind the dragon’s massive wing and swung at his eyes, gouging it out.
Arad only went after the soft spots, the eyes and throat that he was sure his claws would cut.
The purple dragon growled, recoiling back. Like a man facing a squirrel with rabies, the purple dragon didn’t want anything with a half-vampire weird dragon.
The purple dragon swung his claw, trying to catch Arad and pull him away.
Arad extended his claws, grasping into the dragon’s neck and running across his back.
“Stop moving! You little bastard!” He growled.
BAM! The drakaina rushed in, hitting the purple dragon with a claw to the face from the blind spot that Arad left.
The purple dragon growled, and the drakaina bite him by the neck.
FLAP! The purple dragon expanded his wings. VROOM! They stared flapping faster than the eye could see.
The drakaina got blasted back, and the dragon flew to the sky with Arad on his back. [Gravity Magic]
Arad growled, almost getting blown away, but he managed to hold on thanks to his claws and Gravity magic. “We came here to slay goblins,”
The purple dragon stopped, hearing Arad growl on his back. “I wanted to have a quiet quest. Why do I have to fight a dragon here?”
“Why would I care? Get away from me!” The purple dragon growled, trying to reach Arad on his back, but he wasn’t flexible enough.
Arad lifted his front claws and growled, “Die! And get out of my way!” Arad roared, his voice reaching the ground as he swung his claws at the base of the purple dragon’s wings.
[Void Dragon Claw] [Void Dragon Claw]
CLANG! Arad clawed at the purple dragon’s back, slowly plucking his scales like feathers, digging deep into his flesh and cutting the tendons around his wing muscles. He then used the void to suck the blood directly into his stomach
The drakaina looked up, seeing the purple dragon’s wings going limp as he fell toward the ground.
CRACK! When the purple dragon crashed, the whole ground quaked, sending a crack all the way back to the city and shattering one of the walls.
BAM! Arad walked over to the purple dragon, standing on its chest, roaring.
“Get away from him! He isn’t dead yet!” The drakaina growled, rushing to pull Arad away.
The purple dragon opened his eyes, swung his tail, and swatted Arad away like a fly. SWOSH! The wounds on his back healed, and he flew away as fast as he could.
CRACK! Arad hit the mountainside and activated [Void Step]. He instantly teleported back the purple dragon’s tail and bit him.
The purple dragon turned his head, opening his jaw to chop Arad down.
BAM! The drakaina flew in, swinging her claw, cutting the purple dragon’s tail and catching Arad.
“Let him go! We don’t want to kill him here,” She growled, and the purple dragon flew away.
CRACK! Arad bit the drakaina’s hand, growling, “Let me kill him!”
“Don’t do it! He will explode upon death. You will kill everyone around here,” She growled, glaring at the purple dragon flying away.
“What?” Arad looked at her.
“All adult dragons store a lot of elemental magic inside their bodies. That power is released upon death.” she looked at Arad, “If you kill him, plasma will flood the whole forest and probably erase the village off the map.”
Arad finally stopped moving, “The bastard, one day I will eat him alive.”
The drakaina released Arad, and he landed on the ground, growling like a hungry monster.
The drakaina sighed, sitting down like a cat. “The fight is over for now. But he will show up again.” She smiled.
“Who was he?”
“Aron, the purple dragon.” The drakaina smiled, “He found that fire gets hotter when mixed with pure air, so he was hunting the Deianira family for their wind spirit bloodline,”
“Deianira? Aella? So that’s why he needed her?” Arad sat and looked up at the drakaina.
“That’s what I know. He didn’t speak much about his plans, only ordered people to do things.” She sighed and looked at Arad.
“You can call me Ignis of the red mountain” She smiled.
“Arad Orion,” Arad smiled.
“Nice to meet you,” she sniffed Arad, “Albeit, I find it hard to accept you killed my son,”
Arad froze, glaring at her, “Your son?” Remembered the dragon they massacred a while ago.
“I’m not angry,” She stared at Arad, “It’s natural for the young ones to fight for land and sometimes die. He just wasn’t strong enough,”
“You should be angry,” Arad sighed.
“I would be angry if an older dragon killed him. But since you were younger than him, it would have been a shame that he lost to you.” She looked at Arad and then back at the city.
“Fine,” Arad sighed, unable to understand how the drakaina’s mind worked.
“But you’re stronger than I expected,” she smiled, “Are you a young dragon?”
“A very young one,” Arad replied, and she looked at him, stunned.
She then grabbed Arad, lifting him up and looking closer at him.
“Aren’t you a bit too big for a very young dragon? And those scales, you aren’t a black or a purple dragon.” She scratched her head, “And you used an ice breath and some weird magic, are you a magic dragon?”
“Yeah, a void dragon.” Arad growled, “Put me down.”
“Void? That explains it,” She looked at him with a smile..
