Dragon Maken War Chapter 204 - The Return of a Legend II (3)

Chapter 204 - The Return of a Legend II (3)

It was the first humiliation he had suffered since his revival. His chest voice exploded forth.

“How dare you, you little gnat!”

The Dragon weapon looked like a sword made out of clear gla.s.s. The Storm’s Scream let out a fierce blue thunderbolt. The overwhelming power ripped away at the gale a.s.saulting Almarick. He fought for control over the air.

“You should have come out like that in the first place. You are too different from the description written in history. You were so calm that I was wondering if you were a fake!”

Kairen let out a fierce laughter as he charged forward. When he clashed with Almarick, sounds of consecutive explosions could be heard.

At the same time, Kairen’s eyes became cold.

‘Everything is going too well. If I let my guard down, I might be killed in a single moment.’

Events were progressing better than he had expected. It was the best out of the worst situation.

Kairen had fought several hundred mock battles with Almarick in his mind.

Even if his enemy possessed enough power to make him despair, Kairen had to defeat him only once. He had fought this enemy before, and he had memorized the techniques used by Almarick. He just had to use all of his efforts in finding a way to defeat Almarick’s technique.

Kairen was well informed in regards to Almarick. Azell had given a detailed report, and Kairen had experienced Almarick’s power for himself. He used these information as basis for his practices. He had practiced for this fight until he was sick of it.

On the other hand, Almarick didn’t know much about Kairen. Almarick had defeated Kairen in a fight before, but it wasn’t an exaggeration to say that Kairen was a completely different person after gaining the Dragon Soul. He had grown a lot.

The discrepancy in information would allow Kairen to take Almarick unawares.

Kairen, Leticia, Laura and Yuren had attacked Almarick in the last fight, and they lost in mortifying fas.h.i.+on. Kairen had tried to objectively a.s.sess the fight, and he came up with three reasons why they had lost.

‘For a short amount of time, I can generate almost equal power as him. I can do this.’

First, the problem was power. The difference in power was too burdensome to overcome with technique.

Kwahng! Kwah-kw.a.n.g! Kwa-ahhhhhhng!

The swords clashed, and the sounds of consecutive explosions rang out.

Almarick’s sword technique was exquisite, yet heroic. However, Kairen matched him. His explosive sword technique was being supported by the Dragon Soul. He stopped the flow of Almarick’s sword strikes, and Kairen was starting to gain the advantage.

‘I’m sure of it now. My control over air is superior.’

The second reason had been the absence of a Dragon weapon. Almarick possessessed the Storm’s Scream, which held dominion over storm and thunder. His Dragon weapon was akin to a calamity.

However, the Dragon Soul was holding up against the Storm’s Scream. The Dragon Soul acted as an armor against thunderbolts, and Kairen’s control over the air was superior. He was pus.h.i.+ng Almarick into a corner.

Kwahng!

At the end of the consecutive explosions, Almarick was pushed backwards.

Chwahhhhhhk!

He slid across the ground. However, Kairen chased after him using Instantaneous Movement. Kairen continued to attack relentlessly before Almarick could right himself.

“Do you think I will give you the time to make a move on me? I’ll end this right now!”

“Koohk……!”

Kairen knew that the advantage he had gained could be overturned. It was a matter of time.

He was making sure his opponent couldn’t display his true power.

This was the golden rule when fighting someone with superior power. He would be begging for a defeat if he allowed his opponent to do what he was best at. It would be foolish and arrogant for him to do so.

‘I can’t allow him to make clones! I have to keep pus.h.i.+ng until I kill him!’

The third reason for Kairen’s past defeat was the clone technique.

If he could fight one-on-one against Almarick, he had a chance. However, it was an entirely different story once Almarick used Incarnation.

It was the same as when Azell used his Dance of Shadows. He could exist and act through multiple clones of substance. He was capable of producing power that was on a different cla.s.s compared to fighting only one real body.

“Let’s see how long you can laugh!”

At Kairen’s shout, Almarick’s eyebrows rose sharply.

‘Laugh? I am?’

He was in a dangerous situation where a knife was pressed against his neck. He had thought he could overwhelm his opponent with a single attack. He had underestimated Kairen. He had thought Kairen was a whelp without a Dragon weapon.

However, Kairen was scarily well-informed about him, and Kairen was exploiting all his weaknesses. At this rate, his head would be severed without him being able to use half his power.

So why was Kairen claiming that he was laughing?

‘I see. I…….’

Almarick realized that Kairen’s words were correct.

‘…am having fun!’

Since he was revived in this era, this was the first time he felt alive.

After he was revived from death, everything had been boring. The pa.s.sion and heat that had been present in his era was all gone. This era had been desolate.

Those that fought on the same side as him in the past had all turned mad and sinister. They had twisted Atein’s image to create a society of fanatics. He had been incognito as he observed them for several dozen years. He despised them.

This wasn’t it.

He hadn’t fought with his life on the line to create this world.

Even what he considered to be right with the world was gone now. Since martial techniques were lost to the humans, they could no longer stimulate his heart.

However, a foe that could heat up his heart had appeared right in front of him.

“Good! You whelp! If you are confident, you should make me weep! I don't buy it for a second that you can pull that off!”

The feeling of old came alive within Almarick’s chest. It was a feeling he felt when he faced fate each day with his life on the line.

Reygus and Leticia was fighting a battle with each other.

Unlike Kairen, Leticia didn’t insist on fighting a one-on-one battle. The Guardian Shadows were densely packed around them, and they were like a white wave. They supported Leticia.

Kwan-kw-kwa-kw.a.n.g! Kwa-kw.a.n.g!

Reygus let out a belly laugh.

It didn’t matter if his opponents were hitting him. Reygus’ style was to charge forward like a freight train until his enemies were dead. Several dozen Guardian Shadows were focusing their attack on him, yet they couldn’t stop him.

Too-doo-doo-doo-doo!

A gale infused with frost started to rise, and the situation changed. The ground beneath Reygus’ feet froze, and large ice fragments started to beat against him. In a flash, his body was surrounded as if he was in an ice prison.

It was Leticia’s attack. After releasing her Dragon Soul, she gained dominion over cold air. Her abilities were on par with an ice dragon.

Even if Reygus was an Undead, he couldn’t ignore the cold. He didn’t have any vital functions that could be slowed down by the cold. However, his body was being battered by the ice storm, and his body was being frozen in an instant.

However, it was useless. Even if Leticia created a pillar of ice, it took him only a moment to bash through it.

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwahng!

Leticia and the Guardian Shadows alternated their attack. It was enough to stop Reygus’ movement for a short time.

This opportunity was used to strike Reygus with an enormous ice pole.

Ggwahng!

Reygus was sent flying backwards, and he was planted into the ground. His momentum was so high that dirt exploded into the air as he rolled across the ground.

Leticia didn’t let her guard down. Immediately, the wave of Guardian Shadows attacked Reygus.

Reygus dashed out of the debris. He had suffered under the attack, but the only physical distress one could see was the slight dent in his armor. He looked fine as he heroically swung his Soul Hammer.

Kwa-gwa-gwa-gwa-gwahng!

The earth screamed. An explosion started to spread in a conical shape, and it reached several hundred meters.

“Koohk…….”

Leticia moaned.

The upper edge she had gained with superior numbers had been swept aside with one move. Fortunately, the Guardian Shadows quickly dodged to the side, so the damage was minimal. However…..

Reygus laughed as he walked out of the dust cloud.

“You don’t think it is cheap?”
