Chapter 159 - Where Is It?
The creature before him looked so much like the drawings of dragons depicted on the books he had read, and even some statues of dragons he had seen, but, there were some slight differences between them, an example is that it didn't have any wings, unlike those he had seen on books.
'It's not a dragon.' said Void.
He knew what Grey was thinking about, but he was confident it wasn't a dragon. Although he hadn't seen or been in contact with a real dragon before, as a unique magical beast, he knew some things about high-class magical beasts.
Currently, Grey had his back against the wall, Void was also in the same position, and they were both staring at the creature vigilantly. They could feel an intimidating aura from it, and knowing that the creature had lived for hundreds of years, and maybe even thousands, they were very wary of it.
'It's not? Then what is it?' asked Grey.
The creature was presently staring viciously at the two, and from how its eyes are glowing, Grey felt it might attack them anytime soon.
'I should rephrase my statement to help you understand better, it's not a dragon, yet.' said Void.
'Wait, I don't get it, it's not a dragon, but you're saying it would be?' Grey asked, a little confused by what Void said.
'Yes, actually, it should be going through an evolution process if I'm not wrong. It's originally not a dragon, but some other reptile. My best bet is that it's a lizard.' Void speculated.
He didn't know what type of lizard it previously was, but he was at least sixty percent sure it was a lizard.
'Evolution?' Grey got more confused with what Void was speaking about.
'Yes, evolution, and from the looks of it, it actually failed in the process. You see, high-class magical beasts go through evolution. I'll also evolve someday.' Void said proudly.
'High-class magical beasts? You're getting me more confused.' Grey felt like his head was spinning.
'How do you even know about all this? You know what, forget about this for now, what we should be worried about is how do we deal with this guy' Grey brought Void back to the matter at hand.
Grey looked behind him and saw the fire that was two meters wide coming towards him, he quickly dropped to the ground to avoid it from burning him, up.
The creature continued breathing out the fire and when it saw Grey dodge it, it aimed at him.
'I thought you said it's not a dragon?' Grey asked as he ran to the left, trying to escape the fire that was literally chasing after him.
'It's not, it's like a quasi dragon.' said Void as he joined him.
'Well, this quasi dragon wants my life, our life! Can't you talk to it?' Grey panicked when he sensed the heat coming off the flames behind him.
Being a Fire Elementalist, he shouldn't be afraid of fire. But he hadn't gotten to that stage yet, also, even though he's a Fire Elementalist, the flames of his opponent would still burn him, especially if they're stronger than he is.
'You've tried that before.' Void replied.
'Damn it!' Grey looked behind him and couldn't help but curse out.
The quasi dragon had been breathing out fire for almost ten seconds none stop now.
Boom!
The fire hit the wall and instantly destroyed it, it continued going forward and passed through the platform, but it couldn't destroy it.
Grey who was hiding behind the platform saw the fire going over the top, and the two sides of the platform, but it didn't touch him.
Another five seconds went by before the quasi dragon stopped breathing out the fire.
Grey's heart rate was beating quickly as he held onto Void, he encouraged himself to try and calm down.
Breathing heavily, he slowly got up and looked over the platform, and to his surprise, the quasi dragon was gone.
"Where is it?" Grey unconsciously blurted out.
