Chapter 19 - 19: “Forgive My Impertinence Then…” (2/2)
She is not angry, but his arrogance starts to annoy her. After all, negotiating is never Little Eu's strongest point.
This Ancient Dragon is being so uncooperative as she continues to remain silent. She promised Jairu to refrain herself from acting, imprudent and brash.
She needs to make an exception. This dragon needs something else for her words to enter his massive thick skull. She finally spoke as she rolled her eyes and broke the deafening silence and growing tension between them.
”Forgive my impertinence then…” she said.
Little Eu summons her shapeshifting weapon while it transforms into a polearm.
The tip blade of her arms radiates as it hits the sunlight. She uses a teleport spell for her sneak attack that has surprised her companion and the dragon.
The battle commences between the young girl and the gigantic Silver Dragon. Little Eu's sudden attack has caught the Dragon off guard. In the process, he barely dodges and scr.a.p.es his neck.
He flew higher as he also commences on his battle stance. His tail is as sharp as a sword. He strikes back and collides with her weapon while it creates a resounding clash.
The dragon is obviously much more powerful in brute strength. He is also wielding something like a god defying giant sword against the little girl, who is only a fraction of his size.
It is expected the little girl will face an imminent defeat. Unfortunately, she is not just an ordinary 'little girl.'
The loud clash of weapons disturbed the once solemn forest. All creatures residing in the area definitely got their attention and feared the ominous atmosphere they are both creating.
Slash, clang, swoosh…
Both are equally skilled dodging, countering, and blocking each other's attacks. It results in a few cuts and scr.a.p.es on each other's bodies.
Little Eu's change in countenance has surprised Di'Anon. She can easily match up with the domineering Silver Dragon.
He was utterly baffled as he witnesses her polearm piercing through the dragon's scales. The Dragon's blood dripped into the once clear pool of sparkling water.
Meanwhile, Eu received a few bad blows herself.
”I am truly impressed, Little One. You hold your ground really well against me.” the Silver Dragon sneered, who is catching his breath.
”For an Ancient Dragon, you do move quickly yourself. I should commend your effort.” the little girl smiled calmly. She raised her hand and cast her seven-layered elemental spell with a snap of her fingers, ”But can you still withstand this?”
Before the Silver Dragon could react, he was enveloped by a colorful, elemental spell pressing his body into the ground. It's not really strong enough to kill him. Still, it is enough to make him resign to submission.
Once again, the girl has surprised him and caught him off guard.
'It's an Ancient, forgotten spell! How could a mere mortal little girl know such a heaven-defying elemental spell?!'
The Ancient Silver Dragon is forcefully pushed down into the ground. He can only helpless struggle away.
He can barely move as he regrets underestimating his opponent. His injuries are not fatal, but it hurts.
His silver body sustained hundreds and thousands of little cuts because of her spell. Combined with his earlier injuries, it is causing him a painful agony.
Little Eu landed in front of him as her weapon disappears. She sighs as she looks at the Ancient Dragon pitiful state. Her face remains expressionless as she only gazes down at him.
The Silver Dragon can't even utter anything in disbelief. He can't believe he will die pathetically in the hands of a mere human girl. This little girl has just outclassed him. He should refrain from underestimating his opponent.
Her magic is not yet strong enough to kill him. Still, Little Eu has injured him enough. He can't counterattack and struggle against her anymore.
Meanwhile, Di'Anon was in total shock as he stands rooted in his place. He wasn't expecting to witness such a scene. This little girl doesn't really need constant protection because she can handle herself on her own.
Little Eu then finally broke her silence. Her is gaze not leaving the Silver Dragon before her.
She said in a calm tone with a tinge of threat, ”Great Ancient Dragon. Give me one reason. Why I should not kill you to obtain your eyes for the Holy Guardian Lord Azure right now?”
The Ancient Dragon is surprised as he heard the reason for her visit. He genuinely wanted to kick himself for all his arrogance earlier and how he treated the young child.
If he knew that this little girl is on behalf of the Holy Guardian, he would definitely act more cooperatively. He could only grunt in dismay and disappointment.
”Actually, little one. I can give you three reasons why you shouldn't kill me. Please kindly hear out this Ancient Dragon…” he finally spoke enduring all the pain of his body.
