Chapter 148 - Sneak Attack
Dror watched as Oliver\'s whole body grew bigger, his face transformed and large wings started growing out of his back.
Dror could only take a deep sigh after observing the transformation. By now Oliver had completely transformed into a big red dragon.
The Dragons dominance could be felt by Dror even from such a distance, the red scales on its body glistened like red gems, Bone spikes dominated the top of his body from head to tail. His scales constantly released smoke and could shift in color to that of molten lava. His eyes were distinctly golden yellow exuding ruthlessness and he smelled like brimstone.
Major Ryker slowly muttered
" Someone from the Belindo family… he must be one of the young dragon majors, Oliver Belindo. "
Mr. Gaja didn\'t care and he only had a sneer on his face, but soon his expression turned serious as the Dragon appeared above him and Major Ryker in an instant.
Roar…
" Dragon Breath.."
With a roar the humongous dragon sprayed out bright red fire from its mouth enveloping the whole area in an instant.
Oliver was not someone who took a beating and laid down, he had attacked with full force as retaliation.
" the dark moon envelopes.."
Before the fire reached them Mr. Gaja made his move, as his dark warrior essence turned into a sphere enveloping both himself and Ryker.
As both of them were inside the black sphere seemed to have solidified from outside.
As the Dragon fire enveloped the whole area, the whole area was burned to ash and it continued to burn, as if it will keep on burning for years.
Even Dror felt a trepidation at this wide area effect attack, he could clearly feel the heat from such distance this was nothing to scoff off.
But soon a burning sphere ejected out of the flame, It was the same black sphere that Mr. Gaja had formed to defend.
It could be clearly seen from its appearance that the defensive technique was not perfect against the Dragon fire; the color of the sphere itself had turned from black to glowing yellow as if molten iron on the outside at least.
The sphere was floating in the air without support, this was clearly a high level technique as only someone in supreme warrior realm or higher could float in the air after gaining understanding of the laws, but they would still need to utilize techniques to fly freely.
Of Course people in True warrior realm can also maintain a flight with the help of the element\'s, like an earth element cultivator could stand on a rock and lift the rock along with himself, but that would be too energy consuming and be only utilized properly by someone in at least the higher level of True warrior realm, just like the Earth Yari technique of Major Ryker.
But here Mr. Gaja was not clearly using the warrior essence to float the sphere in the air, he was relying on the laws.
Laws existed in the universe as an inseparable part of it. A True warrior needs to understand and resonate with it so that he or she would be able to affect it to some extent to finally enter the supreme warrior realm.
Clearly Mr. Gaja who was half a step into supreme warrior level could slightly affect the laws of the universe, especially gravity at the moment.
The sphere opened up to reveal Mr. Gaja who didn\'t seem to be affected in any way, but it was not the same for Major Ryker, smoke was coming out of him like a cooked shrimp.
Major Ryker had been continuously fighting for a long time and his warrior essence was also running low, he couldn\'t clearly protect against the heat wave even inside the sphere , this was also the reason why Mr Gaja came out.
Mr Gaja sent Ryker along with the sphere afar from the fire, while launching an attack of his own. All this happened so fast that Oliver couldn\'t even react in time.
" Fist of the Dark, first move Heavy punch.."
This time an image of a humongous black elephant with three trunks, six tusks and golden shield-like scales covering its upper body appeared behind him.
Comparing the size, even the Dragon looked like a child before the elephant.
Mr. Gaja was going for another punch, as his fist moved forward his hand became black and then started growing in size like it was attracting all the darkness in the surrounding to grow bigger.
Oliver could feel the danger in the opponent\'s punch, so he used another dragon breath but this time the fire was more concentrated.
Boom..Boom...Boom…
The confrontation was clearly devastating as the whole surrounding was turned upside down, the shock wave and blast of air sent everything in the surrounding flying more than 500 meters and a huge crater was formed where the two moves met.
Oliver was pushed back five or six meters in the air, while Mr. Gaja stood there without moving.
Mr Gaja looked around with a smirk and muttered " Interesting, so the Dragon fire can really weaken the dark element technique… then I will just use other methods.."
Clearly Mr. Gaja was stronger than Oliver but unfortunate for him that Oliver was a Dragon anthropomorph and cultivated Dragon fire techniques.
The element of light and fire had weakening effect on the dark element but not anything significant, but it was entirely different case when it came to holy lights or purifying flames, Even though Olivers dragon flames were not at a level to completely overwhelm the dark element it still contained a purifying effect which weakened the dark element.
Of Course this was only applicable in the scenario where the strength of the warriors and their understanding of the elemental laws were low.
Mr. Gaja bumped his fist together.
Baam..
Soon a golden armor started appearing on him covering his entire body, the whole body armor exuded a mighty indomitable aura just like the elephant image that appeared when Mr. Gaja used his move. The armor had very intricate carvings, especially of a mighty elephant with three trunks, six tusks and golden shield-like scales covering its upper body on the center of the armor.
And the runes glowing around clearly showed that this was a magical artifact.
After the armor appeared Mr. Gaja disappeared, the speed of his movement technique improved so drastically that the people around were finding it hard to keep track of him even with spiritual sense .
Mr. Gaja appeared above the red dragon and landed a downward kick to the dragon\'s head.
Bang....
Oliver with all his enhanced sense was only able to tilt his head slightly so that the kick would fall on his shoulder and side neck, but as the kick landed he felt like a meteor of more that a thousand kilogram stuck him directly with an unimaginable speed.
He could hear the crack of his bones breaking as he fell down creating a huge hole on the ground.
Roar…
An ear piercing roar resonated in the surrounding.
Oliver was burning his life force to recover, as a red flame enveloped his whole body and soon the color of the flame started turning blood red.
He too disappeared just like Mr. Gaja, clearly Oliver, was also burning his warrior essence and life force to gain greater strength to fight the powerful enemy.
Dror, who has been watching the whole event from a distance, was feeling too excited about this fight.
He even thought of going closer to get a better look but put that idea behind him when he thought about how fierce the elephant guy was.
Dror knew even he couldn\'t take on someone like that, even with the help of his two spiritual weapons.
The fight had taken an entirely different turn by now, both the monsters were fighting like martial artists without any fancy moves.
Of course Oliver still had his whole body enveloped in flames but the protection provided by Mr. Gaja was able to defend against the fire.
Oliver knew it didn\'t mean good for him if the fight dragged on as more reinforcements might arrive from the Alliance side, but he knew he needed to hold on for some more so that his men could retreat to safety.
And as the fight was going on between the Dragon and the bulky warrior in golden armor , a blue light blinked from among the thicker forested area.
The blue light was so fast that it reached before the golden armored Gajas face before he even detected it.
Mr Gaja could feel an intense death threat from this blue light, he knew the light would penetrate his face within the next microsecond.
It was like time had paused and his whole armor glowed with a golden color intensely and slowed the blue light, giving him enough time to move his head slightly, but still the blue light made a small scar under his eye.
The scar was very tiny but a blue smoke started leaving the scar as a tiny blue glow entered his face.
Ahrrraaam…
Mr. Gajas eyes were burning in rage as he cried out in anger, but instead of human sound what came out of his mouth was the trumpeting of an elephant.
