Chapter 330 - Azure Dragon (1) (unedited) (2/2)
”Are you alright?” I asked instantly when we were able to breal away. Tempest's flames has been put out.
”I thought I was going to die there.” Tempest replied. ”His grip on me was squeezing the life out of me. He is strong.”
The azure dragon was flying around in circles before us. I was sure that he was not done yet.
By then we saw water being taken from the sea and formed into floating balls around the azure dragon.
”He is going to attack.” Tempest said.
And like Tempest said, the floating water was shaped into spears and flew towards us. Tempest was able to dodge the first two and the next two water spears was just barely some inches away from us. The speed of the water spear was to fast that I can feel the force when it flew inched away from me.
”Ahhh...” I cried out when I felt the force.
It did not hit us directly, but I can still feel the great force by it just passing by even with my fire armor on. What will happen if had it as directly.
”Tempest, dodge his attacks.” I commanded.
”No need to tell me.” Tempest said. He flew out of the water spears' path.
'I need to negate his magic spears somehow.' I thought. And to do that I need to focus my magic powers into the fire balls I will make.
I undo the fire armoe around me to concentrate my magic on the fire balls I am creating. Not long I was able to conjure five big fire balls, the same amount of the remaining water spears.
When the remaining water spears headed towards us, I also navigated my fire balls to clash with them.
The clash between the magic attacks was intense. I tried to maintain the fire balls as much as I could, but the size of them are getting smaller and smaller while seconds pass by. But the water spears are also the same, getting smaller and smaller while simmering away. And after a while, both magic attacks vanished into thin air, negating one another.
”Haahh... haahh...” I panted heavily, feeling the enormous pressure in maintaing the fire balls.
”Not bad human.” The azure dragon said. ”But unfortunate for you, the sea is my kind of territory. I do not need a large amount of magic in conjuring water attacks.”
After what the azure dragon said, water pillars started to burst up from the sea once more. It tried to hit is in every ways possible.
Tempest tried to dodge every water pillar that shoots out but it was too many to handle.
”Watch out, Tempest!” I shouted out, but it was too late. One water pillar hit us from below.
Tempest and I started to fall. I can feel the sensation of plumting from the sky to the ground. Not long I felt my body hit the sea's surface.
I held my breath once I was under the water. I opened my eyes and see the light glowing from the sea floor.
'That is where Alicia is.' I thought to myself.
I saw that I can swim the distance while holding my breath. If I saw correctly, there is an air pocket in that dome like force field I can see beyond that faint light.
I kicked my feet and dived towards the bottom. I was determined to get to where my wife is when I saw something big swimming towards me, it was the azure dragon.
'This is one persistent b*stard.' I cursed him in my thought. 'Well we are similar in that sense.'
I braced myself and tried to swim away from his way but I was still hit by the shoulder. The pain was intense. Knowing that my sword wasn't able to pierce his body that was as hard as steel, him hitting my body in his speed felt like being hit by a huge boulder.
I knew I need oxygen now that I cannot hold my breath any longer. I quickly swam up and saw the azure dragon circling around to attack me once more. I kicked my feet faster and tried to reach the sea's surface quickly.
”Haahh...” I breathed in air at once when I reached the surface. But I was not in the clear, knowing that the azure dragon was just in my tail.
Looking around, all I can see was water everywhere. My magic power that was in the affinity of fire is at a disadvantage in this kind of place. My heart was thumping hard inside my chest, thinking of a way to get out of this predicament.
