Book 5: Chapter 83: Clash of the Ages

Scarlet

The moment our claws meet, a shockwave is sent out all around us, sending the lava flying into the air before the sonic boom echoes across the entire arena. Meanwhile I find myself surprised by the fact that the dragon still matches me perfectly in strength. As if the two of us are equally powerful.

Seriously? Even with all of my boosts? How is it this strong? I should be stronger physically than a level 2500 so long as its not Gramps, who has a boatload of mythical skills unless the dragon is stronger than level 2500 in reality?

Also, something I didnt consider before, but if this thing does kill me with its hellfire flames that can devour someones reality will I actually end up dead? Didnt really consider that the hidden monster might have a reality attacking magic.

The dragon and I repeatedly clash back to back, sending multiple shock waves out all around us. And Im certain that the crowd watching us right now must be going wild with excitement.

But I cant focus on anything but the dragon, because every last strike from it feels stronger than anything Ive ever faced before.

We continue clashing back and forth over and over again for so long that I begin to lose track of time. And throughout this battle, neither of us take all that much damage. And the damage I do take ends up healing right away thanks to Lycans Regeneration. With the dragon not taking almost any damage at all, its scales proving to be too powerful for even my Red Plague to devour beyond mere scratches when I make contact.

Im sure Id be able to do more damage if the Red Plague had more time to devour it, probably be able to devour its scales whole in fact. But thats the problem.

This damned dragon is faster than me, and its about my equal in terms of strength. So I dont have the time to do that.

Even with all of my boosts, with me draining its life energy and mana, and even me trying to boil and nullify its blood. But I quickly realize through the fight that the creature seems to be immune to pretty much all skills below epic rarity. And even with epic rarity skills, theyre a lot less effective than theyd normally be.

We both ignore the lava as we push harder and harder, putting more and more Red Plague and hellfire into our attacks that ends up spraying all around us from their points of collision.

The dragon finally sets its front legs down, pushing its head closer towards me and making the pulses push back towards me a little.

I dont take it sitting down though as I draw in all of the Red Plague thats splattered around us and begun devouring the surroundings before pulling it into myself and recycling it into the attack as well, pushing the pulses right back at it.

Both pulses continue wrestling back and forth, spewing out the extra to the sides and tearing the surroundings to a bloody pulp. Literally, in the case of my Red Plague. Before said pulp turns to ash at least.

Throughout the battle I make sure over and over again to kill a monster on the other side of the arena with some of my Red Plague that I scattered there for revival purposes. Just to keep up my stacks of Blood Thirst.

And as our attacks continue to clash in between us, I begin to lose my patience.

So, since the wall of lava is still surrounding us, with no one on the other side for hundreds of kilometers, I finally activate two skills Ive been saving.

Both skills using Red Plague for the first time in my entire life.

Both Bloodborne Apocalypse and Blood of Ruin.

My eyes narrow as the dragons begin to widen.

Lets see if you can take this.
