Chapter 59 - Inundation II (1/2)

I looked to the newly appeared human and the winged creature it was commanding. These natives actually had someone of this level of strength, surprising me even more.

The human that had dirtied my scales was about to die, only for this one to swoop in and save him in the last minute. The issue was that this new one actually posed a threat to me. Well, his beast did anyways

I had brought myself to the point of empathizing with the creatures of this world because of the similarity of events they were going through, but that was the wrong choice.

If I wanted to be successful in my goal in this small world, I had to be ruthless. I have my own people to worry about. With that being said, I would take care of this threat in front of me first

My injury should not flare up as long as I do not completely go all out, so I started by casting my ability, Draconic Summoning.

The usual ferocious winged half dragons filled the air, their numbers growing to 100 in a blink. These would be used to keep the vile summoned creature at bay while I take down its master. That was the fastest solution after all

I commanded the half dragons to attack, and the winged creature went towards them at high speed. It was powerful enough that a single strike from it melted through the body of my summons, and it released a poisonous gas that spread out and melted more than 20 of the half dragons in a blink

I became even more serious seeing this, and I realized I only had a few seconds to make my move against the human. If he dies, the creature dies with him.

My wings vibrated as I converged the wind elements around me and my body disappeared from my location, shooting towards the human in the distance

I pa.s.sed the position in the sky where the poisonous creature was fighting against my summons, and knew victory was in sight as the creature would never catch up to me before I can take down its master

It was truly vile, as it had nearly taken down almost all the half dragons, but the few seconds it bought me was enough. My chest rumbled as I let out another one of my fiery breaths towards the figure of the human

VOOM!

I felt an impact and left no room for mistake as I formed multiple pillars of purple lightning that also crashed wide at the location of the figure

When the explosion cleared, a surprising sight presented itself.

What?!

The green creature was the one that could be seen at the point of impact. I was nearing its position so that I could finish off its master, but I met it instead. I tried pulling back as its poison was very powerful, but didn't succeed in time as the creature exploded

BOOM!

Ugh. Green smoke covered my body as I was pushed back. The creature had self destructed and left me some breathing room, but it didn't last for long as another one exactly like it appeared in the air once more

F.u.c.k.i.n.g come on!

I was becoming furious at the large pool of mana the human seemed to have as my senses tracked him to a position far behind me. He must have escaped my breath and summoned the creature where he was so he could have it self destruct and wound me.

If I didn't watch myself in this fight, I might actually come out on the losing end. I wasn't too worried though as my strong life essence had already pushed out the poison that was attached to my body.

Also, with the reckless way this human was using his energy to summon and unsummon his creature, he would run out soon enough and become my prey.

To handle the newly appeared creature that was coming towards me, I reinforced my body with multiple mana barriers. This was a dragon's strength that many beings dreaded

Dragons had nearly boundless mana pools and an expert use of the mana around them, making it nearly impossible for someone of the same level to take them on. It would be the same against this human
