The Villain's Story Chapter [685] Swim like a fish!

Chapter 685: [685] Swim like a fis.h.!.+

His training was not so complicated one failed to understand it, he showed them many things, but it was not to say they could not have learned those things on their own.

Nevertheless, they did learn some new things, ones that would have taken them a long, long time to discover considering how scarcely they used their dragon forms.

Since Alan and Kazikato both shared the same body type, despite some differences, they had been taught the same things. Firstly, was how to use their bodies effectively.

One thing they shared, was that their bodies were a sharp weapon. Kazikato had his bones and the middle segments on his body, and Alan had his razor sharp scales and spikes.

The training came in two forms, one on how to fight against someone of equal or greater size, and the other against swarms of enemies. He suggested that using a humanoid form against a single opponent was better.

He taught them how most Soara used their bodies, like serpents.

"We have the great strength, yet our usage of it is not like how you expect. Our bodies find it hard to lift things, but we can use our strength in other ways.

The biggest advantage of your serpentine bodies is your control of it, you can evade attacks easily, get into a variety of positions. You can strangle your enemies with your own bodies, and rip into them with your scales and teeth.

Soara have the greatest bite force out of every dragon type, keep that in mind. And your serpentine bodies can use it incredibly well.

h.e.l.l, use poison if you want."

Alan and Kazikato looked at him, listening to him talk. It was quite comical, they were two large dragons, the size of buildings to look at him in his humanoid form, akin to ant.

Moreover, they were looking up at him. Up! Whenever they tried to look down on him from above, their bodies would be thrown downwards, ruthlessly.

"... Poison? How? I don't have the affinity for poison?"

Kazikato inquired, neither he nor Alan had an affinity to poison, so that begged the question, how would they use poison? Carry it around, that would be a bit inconvenient when they were the size of a house.

"You are dragons of death, furthermore, you are Soara, all of them can use poison. Fear not, your poison sacs will develop soon. Also, anything that is able to make your opponent's body function differently is a poison.

Your mana, just inserting that into your opponent's body gives you an advantage. Above all, use the mana of the elements of Darkness and Death, that will give whoever you are facing a fright, along with some others.

And my dear prince, affinities are not everything..."

Alan had to sit through the speech about elemental relations once more, as Kazikato was getting enlightened. He realized something, however.

Every dragon had something they obsessed over, to the point of insanity. They would talk about it for hours if it was mentioned, even something close towards it would incite the same reaction. The obsession was transcendent.

For Lanesha, it was fate, and for Azmakul, it appeared to be elemental relations. Alan wondered what his obsession would be, if he had any at all, and how hard it would be to resist the urge to talk about them.

He prayed he would not become like these two. The lecture kept going for a while, at one point, he got so bored he manifest a sheet of ice, that would act as a mirror and checked his fangs.

He didn't find any opening from where poison would be excreted, perhaps those openings would also come as he got older.

The lecture finally ended, and before Kazikato could ask another question and prolong his suffering, Alan quickly reminded Azmakul of the original goal.

"Ah, yes."

All in all, it was not a useful lecture, he simply taught them some tricks and told them to take a closer look at their own bodies, and ways to utilize their bodies.

But he emphasized originality and creativity, always telling them that each dragon was different, and thus there existed an almost uncountable number of ways to use your own body.

And then, he had them fight against each other. Something both of them were against, for Kazikato, he was against fighting Alan out of respect and some fear, considering he regarded Alan as a big brother and his 'boss'.

Alan simply did not want to deal with the spinning mid-sections, he had experienced them once, and hoped he would never have to do it again.

"Fret not, this is simply practicing for a fight against an opponent of the same size and shape. Magic and usage of mana is not allowed, you can only use your bodies against one another."

Alan did not like the idea.

"What? Only our bodies? You just said he knows how to fight better than in his dragon form! This is not a fair matchup."

A match using only their bodies was simply one not in his favor. All Alan had were spikes. Kazikato had much more.

"Nothing is fair, and a duel where both of you are using magic will also come. It's an exercise, young prince. I will also be giving advice if one of you is in difficulty. You are allowed to use your breaths, however."

Eventually, he had to fight against Kazikato no matter what, and only using his body as well. His greatest strength was taken from him, but he had to agree as well. Nothing was fair. He could not argue against Azmakul. Still, he should be thankful he could use his breath.

Both of them took flight and went opposite to one another, staring each other down, waiting for the ancient dragon to announce the start of the duel.

Alan had been taught to always be serious during a fight of whatever kind by Arken, but Kazikato was not the same, he was still hesitating.

Alan was curious to know what the difference between them was, It had been a while since he fought Kazikato, and he had fought his dragon form only once, and that time, he a.s.sumed his bloodline form, that of the phoenix.

He had never used it after that, it was kind of sad. His bloodline powers were great, but he only used the power of regeneration. Most of the Phoenix's powers were buffs and consumed a tremendous amount of mana for things he could do normally. Except for the buffs, but he did not have much to do with them as well. They worked best when used on others, and he did not have many chances to use them on the Jade Army. They were already empowered if he was close to them, or if they were in the vicinity of the city. Adding to the effects of the False Crown, they were plenty strong and bloodthirsty. He had never been forced to use the powers of the Phoenix on them, not yet at least. 'That reminds me, I need to ask for some things to sacrifice.'

Points were expensive, after all! He needed artifacts to sacrifice to the altar, the treasury of a supreme was bound to have good things to sacrifice.

Azmakul announced the start of their duel, and Alan rushed at Kazikato, ripping through the

air with immense speed.

Kazikato stayed idle, waiting for Alan to approach, the segments of his body began to move, slowly gaining speed.

Alan was wary of those the most, and although Kazikato may not look like he wanted to fight seriously, he knew he would still give it his all.

Alan flew upwards, just as he was about to collide with Kazikato, which shocked the boy. He hadn't expected him to do that, he expected a frontal collision the most.

Alan would never let that happen, he soared upward used his tail to strike, but Kazikato avoided it, his segments gaining more speed.

"Tsk."

Alan clicked his tongue, and used his dragon breath. The light of his breath was nothing compared to the light emitted by the sea, but it was still a sight to behold.

It rained down, and Kazikato avoided it, using the added speed he would get using the

uniqueness of his body.

'Is he planning to tire me out? Or does he just want to acc.u.mulate more speed?'

Alan thought, it was strange to see Kazikato still on the defensive. He should have begun attacking. There could only be two reasons he was doing it.

One was to wait for Alan to tire himself out, which was stupid. The power of the Phoenix made sure he never ran out of stamina. Kazikato was not stupid enough to not realize that even after

all the time they had spent together...

Probably.

There was only one reason why he was doing it, and it was to acc.u.mulate more speed. If the rotating segments could gain enough speed, they would shred his scales and rip his flesh, and

make Kazikato faster.

'It's probably that.'

It seemed he would need to become more aggressive.
