Chapter 124: Price of power (3)

"Let us end this!" Lucien growled while standing atop the azure blue dragon's head. His body shivered as he felt all his joints hurting but at this moment it would be extremely foolish to pay attention to something so insignificant.

"Status!" Lucien muttered and the screen popped up in his face.

With a glance, Lucien could tell his health had dropped by at least 90 points just for taking one hit from the enemy. Should he take another hit from the enemy, it's most likely he would die and his body will be reduced to a bloody paste. But what else can he do about it? The price for power has never been light and should he succeed he knew his strength will rise considerably. Imagine having the abilities of three king-tier magic beasts and then an emperor beast as his partner?

"I agree… Die!" Lanka roared as spat out a mouthful of acid but to Lucien, its mouthful of acid was like a massive ball of acid!

Seeing this, all Lucien saw was death approaching really fast! His heart tightened as he flew backward hastily with a frown on his face! Right now he had enough Spirit energy for only one attack and he knew that his spirit attacks are his only means of harming the enemy so he was a bit reluctant to attack now.

"This!" Lucien growled in his mind as he gathered his strength causing his mana to erupt!

Boom!

Wam!

Just as he was about to cast his spell, a powerful gust of wind surged past him, smashing into the ball of acid without care as it rammed into the Lanka violently.

Thankfully Lucien was already retreating so the power of the shockwave was not enough to harm him. The attacker was a massive eagle-like creature with large silver wings and golden claws. Its claws dug deep into the Lanka's neck, causing it to bleed terribly. At this point, Lucien realized something important. Originally he assumed the other king tier magic beast was slow and that's why the Lanka got here first but he soon realized that he was wrong. The magic beast is a wind type and possesses amazing speed. The fact it didn't get here first was because it slowed down on purpose!

'Cunning piece of shit' Lucien cursed in his mind while retreating even further.

This beast must have a means of seeing them from a very long distance! That explains why it knew the best time to strike. Thinking of this Lucien couldn't help but shudder! He had really underestimated the intelligence of king-tier magic beasts!

[It didn't attack you because it doesn't consider you a threat so this is your chance! If it kills the Lanka you are next!] Rakuzen warned with a stern voice but Lucien's expression didn't change.

His pride wouldn't let him leave these magic beasts without throwing a punch. How dare low bloodline magic beasts play with him for this long? If the god Bess Raizen was here would they dare act arrogantly

ROAR!!!!!

Lucien's growls spread across the land as fierce lightning surged around him. All he needs to do is to give Lanka a chance to fight back. If the two can take on each other, his chances of coming out of this alive and victoriously will definitely increase by leaps and bounds!

"Habakiri!" Lucien growled as he jumped off the head of the azure blue dragon, falling towards the two struggling magic beasts!

"Argo!!!!" Lanka's eyes were bloodshot as it struggled fiercely with the magic beast but it could not break free from its grip. It could feel the talons of Argo piercing even deeper into its neck! If it isn't for its insane vitality as a king-tier magic beast, it would have been dead already!

"Hahaha! I saw an opportunity and I took advantage of it! Don't blame me for being ruthless!" Argo laughed viciously as it tightened its grip. All it needed to do now is tighten its grip and take flight while dragging Lanka along with it. This is akin to hanging the massive goat!

"You!!!" Lanka growled viciously but it could do nothing about the enemy.

"Tier three lightning magic: Lightning descent!" Lucien's vicious growl reached their ears and at that moment cruel smile appeared on Lanka's bloody face.

Boom!

Numerous bolts of lightning struck its lightning whip repeatedly increasing its size and intensity by leaps and bounds as it swung down ruthlessly!

Bang!

Although Lucien's attack wasn't enough to leave a reasonable wound on the magic beast, it still hurt enough to make the huge eagle loosen its grip!

"You bastard Half-blood!" Argo screamed viciously as it turned its attention towards the fleeing Lucien but then its talons felt extremely hot forcing it to turn its attention on Lanka!

Screech!

Letting out a painful cry the Argo let go of the Lanka and flew up with talons covered in acid! It could only watch helplessly as its once prideful talons were getting reduced to a bloody paste!

"You! I will make you understand there are fates worse than death when this is over!" Argo swore at Lucien but didn't dare take its eyes off the Lanka. In its opinion, the real opponent here is Lanka! It can kill Lucien whenever it wishes afterward.

Lucien, on the other hand, kept retreating on his wind rider spell but then something unexpected happened to cause a smile to appear on his face.

Ding!
