Chapter 1130 Cap 1128: What Comes Out Of The Cocoon? Part 4
My fight against Fariel was getting more and more intense and I noticed something, his aggression increasing more and more.
When I noticed their aggression was when the fight stopped being an escalation of testing each other’s strength and became a real fight.
His blows were heavy and fast, there was also the problem of each attack being directed towards a vital point or point of importance in the body such as the joints.
He threw a punch towards my chest that I dodged with a spin that I used to attack with my elbow, he grabs my arm and pulls as he opens his mouth to bite my exposed neck.
I lowered my body and used an Aura blast during a shoulder charge knocking him away from me.
His aggressive way of fighting was something I didn’t expect, especially as he started to fight wildly, he even tried to use his teeth to bite my neck like monsters do.
I wanted time to try to understand the change in his fighting style, but he wouldn’t give me that time.
Before I expected he kicked the ground with all his might creating a large crater behind him as he quickly approached.
This time it wasn’t with his fists that he attacked, his Aura took the form of arms and dragon claws around his arms, he used that to attack me.
Just by seeing it, I knew my Aura was stronger, but he had the advantage of momentum and gravity with his Aura claws coming down towards me added to his own strength.
I tried to dodge to the side, but this time he spun and kicked my stomach not away like I did to him before, he kicked me so that I collided with the floor creating another crater.
There was no lull in his attacks as his Dragon claws made of Aura landed on mine once again aiming for my head.
I give a kick taking advantage of the fact that I’m lying down, this kick was in a higher part of the crater which made my body go forward, escaping the next attack that hit the ground where I was creating a ditch in the form of claws.
He wouldn’t stop his attacks and that was clear, so I couldn’t always be on the defensive, so as soon as I got out of the way of his claw attack I used my tail to wrap around his leg and pulled taking his balance where I took the opportunity to create a sword of Aura that fell towards my opponent.
I was more than surprised when he, instead of dodging the attack, concentrated his Aura into a single point and slashed the side of my Aura sword shattering it to pieces, his Aura forced into a single point overcame the difference in strength of our Auras.
Having a part of my Aura destroyed like that was like a truck had collided with my brain, but I didn’t have time to feel that pain when a hand with fingers stretched out and closed wrapped around Aura forming the image of a spear that pierces my chest.
It just went through one of my lungs and broke a few bones, it was painful but not a problem, I held his arm in place and tried to cut it off with my claws but he used his teeth to bite my arm stopping the movement as his knee hit my stomach causing me to be taken backwards.
He took advantage of that moment to free his hand, of course, I didn’t let it go unpunished, I used a kick before being thrown too far to break the bones of one of his arms, even a Dragon King should take a few seconds to regenerate the broken bones of an arm.
But he didn’t scream or hesitate, he put his already injured arm to stop the attack of my tail when I was a few meters from him I realized that his Aura was golden, and it was sending his body to Christendom some Dragon features in the silhouette of his body.
He did this while running towards me, his Aura control was impeccable, and he also wouldn’t stop attacking me even for a second, I thought for a second that I wasn’t doing much damage to him, but I saw the blood dripping from his mouth and of the few wounds I made on his body.
I knew that this was just training, a combat simulation, so at no time did I feel murderous intent, I didn’t want to kill someone I just met and I didn’t want to seriously injure him either, of course, I wouldn’t hesitate during combat even if it was training, but the simple fact of not wanting to hurt your opponent is already a brake during combat.
I concentrated my Aura into my hand and waited, as he attacked me with two Aura attacks from two different directions, I used my Aura not on my hands but on my tail.
I grabbed his arms when receiving the blows then my tail covered by my Aura comes up from the ground behind him aiming at his stomach, I thought he would be hit causing a serious injury or at least he would try to dodge giving me an advantage to take advantage of his change to the defensive for the first time in this battle.
I thought things would be easier and I was already trying to go into an all-out attack expecting him to lose with this attack or the next one that would follow.
But against everything I believed he took the blow letting my tail go through his body and all that while he kept attacking me.
My body was receiving dozens of blows that I could only defend myself when the plan didn’t work, I managed to deflect the most lethal attacks, but even so, my body had several brutal injuries and I’m still standing. .
I didn’t want to lose, and I didn’t accept losing even knowing it was a training, when that anger burned inside me I used it as fuel when I threw myself on him, I received some injuries again, but this time I hugged him, his body was much more resistant than I thought, wanted to use my strength to crush his bones, what spoke.
I couldn’t stand still as he used his leg to try to kick me away, so I concentrated my Aura into my claws allowing my hands to cross his body before reaching his heart but before I could do that I was thrown backwards by a Aura pulse coming from his body.
The whole time his eyes were filled with murderous intent, he clearly wasn’t taking this training as a mock battle, for he from the beginning fought with everything he had.
“That’s enough, that’s enough for today.” (Arash)
“I think that will do for today.” (Arash)
Sigh
“…” (I)
“Don’t look at me like that, if I were to tell you you wouldn’t understand, I thought it best to show you.” (Arash)
“(That bastard…)” (I)
“What did you think of your opponent, Fariel?” (Arash)
“He’s strong, I can say that if the fight had continued under the same conditions I would have lost.” (Fariel)
He talks as if it were an absolute victory for me, but it would only be due to the strength of my Aura since in all other aspects he barely surpasses me.
“That’s not what I asked and you know it, I want to know how he fights.” (Arash)
“…” (I)
“I suspected that from the beginning, but act I’m sure, he doesn’t fight like a Dragon.” (Fariel)
————-
I was lying on the bed in my quarters, I was thinking about today’s fight and the things I heard.
Soon Nix steps out of my shadow, his clothes as worn as mine, Layla in his hands, passed out and her hair tousled.
“Has he become more active?” (I)
“Yeah, it looks like he moves based on the damage he’s taking.” (Nix)
“It was really bad?” (I)
“Since you asked to just hold and not attack, we couldn’t do anything but defend.” (Nix)
“Sorry, tomorrow morning I’ll take care of him once and for all.” (I)
I asked Layla and Nix to stay inside my shadow taking care of the pod, during training with Arash I noticed more and more activity from the pod, there was one time where I was totally crushed in combat and the Cocoon tried to get out of my shadow.
I couldn’t leave things that way and so I asked 2 of my Family members to take care of him, it seems I made the hill as otherwise it could have interfered in today’s match.
————–
The next day I woke up and went to the mirror, I couldn’t help thinking about what I heard yesterday after the match, but I had other things to do.
After that I went to meet Karina inside the Dungeon, she was waiting for me on the training floor, the Dragon Seal much less than before, but the feeling of power inside was dangerous.
“Is everything ready? Is it going to work out the way we think it will?” (I)
“Yes, but it’s still going to be very difficult, it would be better to do some preparations, I’ve already talked to Lyra and Natasha about the plan, I’ll have everything right in a few more hours.” (Karina)
“I think I know what you mean.” (I)
