12 Water Dragons Migh (2/2)
The Water Dragon narrowed its eyes, as he knew what it was.
Grand knights could contend with adepts because they possessed killing techniques, and more importantly, secret grand knight techniques, allowing their internal energy to outburst and invigorate their cells for a few moments. This outburst of strength was so terrifying that it could transform them into near-invincible beings for a small amount of time.
However, it was a pity. The Water Dragon was unlike other pseudo-adepts. A dragon was, after all, an aerial being. Why would he stay on the ground, against a grand knight? The Water Dragon escaped in the air, leaving the Grand Knight Tyler Anderson confused and frustrated.
He had never met an acolyte so scheming and shameless! The pride of elders was nowhere to be seen in this supreme elder's demeanour! Minutes later, Grand Knight Tyler Anderson's grand knight secret technique lost its all-powerfulness, and he was struck by weakness, sign that the Water Dragon immediately perceived.
Yet, the Water Dragon didn't rush, it supressed the grand knight with dozens of spells, from long range, leaving the Grand Knight Tyler Anderson's helpless.
One was a grand knight, the other was a pseudo-adept. The Grand knight should have easily won against the Water Dragon, yet it would have been underestimating the Thornfield Family's resources. The Water Dragon, once he had transformed, had adept-level strength! On the other hand, the grand knight Tyler was nowhere near as strong as he used to be, back in time, when he was at his peak.
One was weaker than expected, the other much stronger. The issue of the fight was determined. However, as the Water Dragon was about to go for the kill, the Grand Knight stood up, his eyes flickering with killing intent. The Water Dragon felt something wrong, and immediately changed direction, a decision which saved his life.
The spear in the Grand Knight's hands had tripled in size, and it was surrounded by a strange flame,
thorwn in an outburst of hope, supported by strength and internal energy. The spear was obviously an enchanted item, one which could deal as much as 120 points of damage, a terrifying number! It failed to hit the head, and pierced through the Water Dragon's belly instead. The injury was nasty, but it would recover in a few months.
On the other hand, the Grand Knight Tyler Anderson had exhausted the very last bit of energy he had.
”I failed you…ancestors. I apologize…”, Tyler whispered, knowing that his hand was near.
Sensing that the Water Dragon was closing in, he found enough energy to issue these last words:
”You were a worthy opponent, Water Dragon! You were very strong, and it's an honour to fall in such a battle. I ask you this, as a Grand Knight. Don't take revenge on the Anderson Household.”
”Why would I do that, Tyler Anderson? I respect you as an enemy, but don't misunderstand my respect for friends.h.i.+p”, the grinning Water Dragon said. He had also transformed back in human form.
Transforming might give him temporary adept-level strength, but it also cost him a crazy amount of mana! Each second was counted in a fight, especially in high-power fights like the one he had just won!
”Take this…It's a Drake Gland, an adept-level resource I acquired in my prime. It's no use to grand knights, but for acolytes, I heard it could increase their advancement success rate to adept level by 30%. Your family will surely rise, and this Drake Gland will improve bring the odds in your favour!”, Tyler said, as his vision was fading.
”Fair enough…I shall not take revenge on your family's household. You were indeed honourable till the end, Grand Knight Tyler Anderson!”

Soon enough, legendary tales would spread the story of the majestic fight between the Water Dragon and the Grand Knight Tyler Anderson, an epic duel which was hundreds of times more incredulous than Drodosis' overwhelming victory over the Chase and Gloom armies. A pseudo-adept had defeated a grand knight, something which had not happened in decades!
Even adepts nodded in acknowledgement!
The moral of the lesson was clear: never underestimate an adept family which survived for hundreds of years!
