135 Play Time Is Over (1/2)

Kla-Klang-Klang!

With the help of a single droplet of Dragon blood, Lapu-Lapu is back to his peak performance. Magellan on the other side fought with a dumbstruck look on his face.

\”Did I just witness a Chinese Dragon appearing out of nowhere and did a casual business with this monkey before me?\” Magellan thought as he slowly lost his advantage against Lapu-Lapu's relentless attacks.

His armor is slowly being chipped away together with his previous arrogance.

\”ridículo! This is cheating!\” He bellowed complaining at the unfairness of the situation.

CLANG!~

\”covarde índio!\” He mocked his opponent as a coward Indio. Lapu-Lapu did not understand him of course. The latter was just smiling happily as he hacked and slashed to his heart's content.

His wounds and dents are piling up from his arms, chest, and sides! Even his helmet has chipped marks from close calls of Lapu-Lapu's wild slashes.

Finally, Magellan noticed the incredible soreness he felt all over his body. He felt the armor becoming stiffer and his breathing became very heavy. And with a clear look, he realized that Lapu-Lapu was not using the sharp edge of the heavy cutlass, but the rough opposite side instead!

No wonder his metal armor remained intact despite the huge dents. He was doing it on purpose to prolong the fight as well. Magellan suddenly realized that his muscles had gone too stiff and the joints hurt a lot!

His body was heavily inflamed from the heavy hits from Lapu-Lapu's cutlass. Not to mention, his cocky look on his face seems to tell him that he was confident that he will not lose the fight nor at least die from it.

He had a Dragon as back up after all!

The wicked smile from the brown warrior told him that the latter was enjoying the fight to the fullest!

It was until then he realized what Lapu-Lapu was actually doing. They were not wild slashes at all but purpose-filled to not kill Magellan but to experience an expert battle against him!

SHOOOK!~

ACK!~

A poisoned arrow went straight deep at the small unarmored slit in Magellan's left leg resulted in the sudden stop of their ferocious fight.

\”And there goes the killjoy.\” The sound of the man's voice came again. Elric traced the origin of the arrow only to become utterly shocked - again.

\”KAHAYAAAG!!!\” Lapu-Lapu shouted irritably.

With one look at the lodged arrow on the Spaniard's left leg, he already knew who owned that special poisoned arrow.

He turned around to glare at the distant figure of a woman clothed in various colored fabric with shamanic scriptures written all over the edges.  She was holding a longbow who confidently glared back at the chieftain of the island.

She was Kahayag, the 200th wife of Lapu-Lapu and the most powerful Babaylan or shaman of the entire Visayan islands. Her appearance on the island was a complete mystery but despite that, she was still one of Lapu-Lapu's wife. It was her who told Lang, the eastern Dragon King, of the possible bad outcome of the battle.

And it was also her who shot the arrow from a distance of more than five hundred meters to precisely hit the small exposed leg of Magellan.

\”Your playtime is over! Finish that foreigner and come home!\” Kahayag, turned around and left. Her figure banished mysteriously as it blended into the dense forest behind her.

\”It was a good fight, White man,\” Lapu-Lapu said as he prepared to finish off the downed Spanish captain.

Lapu-Lapu raised his heavy cutlass, with the sharp edge facing down this time, and was about to hack the foreigner down. But realizing that it was not a clean victory on his side, he decided to turn around instead.

\”Leave.\” He said as he threw a bottle with an antidote from the poison beside the feeble captain.

\”My stupid wife is angry and I haven't got my fill yet. And that look in her eyes. how dare she. Just you wait-\” Lapu-Lapu left the area with a mumbling mouth.

Understanding the island chieftain's intention, Magellan's pride surged in unexpectedly.

\”Is he looking down on me? Just because I am wounded doesn't mean I am not going to fight!\”  Magellan thought as he forced himself to stand up and grabbed the hilt of his sword.

\”INDIO!\” Magellan shouted in rage as he struggled his way to push a good hack at the brown man's back.

Instinctively, Lapu-Lapu quickly turned around to receive the attack only to realize that the expected hack did not come.

Magellan took his handgun he was hiding at his back. He was going to end the fight in one good bang. But before he could pull the trigger, a bamboo spear with a metal tip suddenly came piercing him from his side.

It went through his thick armor as if it was just a thin piece of paper!

\”DIE!\” one of Lapu-Lapu's men took the initiative to finish the captain of the invading Spaniards. Along with it, Magellan lost his grip on his handgun. His sword was too far away so he feet-flicked a nearby spear near his foot, caught it, and lodged it deep into the heart of the backstabbing islander.

However, three more island warriors came from other sides and threw rocks, arrows and even mud just to stop the Spanish captain's unyielding fury.

Despite the numerous inflamed muscles, poisoned state, and glaring wounds on his body, he remained a fighter and did not hesitate to bring more brown men to grave with him!

Lapu-Lapu watched it all with a bored look in his face. It was not a worthy battle anymore if his enemy is wounded while he is in his peak state.

He turned around and made the last command.

\”Ubosa silang tanan!\” He shouted, telling his men to kill all the remaining invaders.

His men, covered in blood and tribal tattoos gladly obeyed in revenge of their fallen brothers and burnt houses.
