Chapter 336 - A Good Duel (2/2)

While he was dodging my fire attacks, I propelled myself to make a fast surprise attack on his blind side. He was busy trying to evade my fire magic attacks that he only sensed my presence the last second.

I slashed him with my sword, feeling it make contact. But Belgor was still agile and swiftly jumped out of the way before I can deal more damage to him.

”Haahh… haahh.” I panted feeling the fatigue after such a fast paced battle. ”You are quick on your feet.” I complimented.

”And you are quick witted.” Belgor praised. ”I never felt so elated in battle until now.”

”I feel the same.” I replied with a grin.

”It looks like we are both in our limits.” Belgor said, he was evidently trying hard just to stay up on his feet. ”I will give my all in this last attack.”

”Then I will also give my all to counter it.” I replied.

I can also feel my fire armor starting to weaken. It will only last just a few minutes longer. And like Belgor said, he was going to give his all in the next attack. I can feel another immense power brewing around him. He opened his mouth wide, and the air was acc.u.mulating within.

'He is going to use that attack once more.' I thought.

I stayed calm and focused all my energy on the next attack I will make. What I need is to time my attack at the precise moment, not to early and not to late. His power comes from wind, and wind can either take the fire out if it is weak, and make it stronger if its strong.

Belgor was getting ready to unleash his last ultimate attack and I was ready to counter it with my own. By the time he released his attack on me, I was ready to counter it.

'Not yet. Not yet.' I was focusing on Belgor's attack that was going straight towards me. ”NOW! Fire tornado!”

I focused all of the magic I have and conjured a massive fire tornado. It engulfed the wind tornado that Belgor unleashed and made my fire tornado even bigger. I used all of my power to contain the fire tornado and make it stable as possible.

”Aaaagghhh!” Belgor was trying all his might to not be swept away with the pull of my massive fire tornado but it was no use. He was sucked in and I saw him fly around getting burned.

I used every ounce of my power to navigate the massive fire tornado, not wanting the whole area to get burned. I tried to nullify the fire the best I can.

”Come on…” I said, feeling the sweat roll of my forehead.

I did not wish for anyone in the vicinity to get hurt, I miscalculated the intensity of the wind tornado from Belgor. It took everything in my power to keep the fire tornado in control until I was able to nullify the fire.

”Haahh… haahh… haahh.” I fell on my knees panting. It took all of my power to nullify such a massive fire tornado.

Not far from me, I saw Belgor fall. I got on my feet with my remaining strength and walked towards him. Once I arrived where he was, I saw his body has deep burns.

”He is still breathing.” I saw his body still moving.

I kneeled in front of him and laid my hands on his thick black fur. His fur felt smooth to touch. There is still some ounce of magic remaining within me and I used my white magic to heal him. Fortunately, his body was also quick to heal, I did not need to use my white magic much.

”Atlantian, why did you save me?” Belgor groaned.

”I did not have any plans on taking your life in the first place.” I replied. ”All I need is a chance search the area and find what we are looking for.”

”Even though I was planning to take your life… you repay me with such kindness.” Belgor tried to stand up. ”You are similar to him in such a way.”

”Him?” I asked in confusion.

”The first ruler of this continent. The one that bestowed power to humans that defeated us a long time ago.” Belgor said. ”I was just a pup when I saw him standing before my defeated father. He also said the same thing to him. But my father was prideful, he accepted his defeat and promised to live away from humans. But he did not accept the offer of that man to live alongside them.”

”I see.” I replied, knowing who the identity of the man he was talking about.

”Well… I wonder…” Belgor said while looking at me with scrutinizing eyes.

”What?” I asked.

”Hahaha… I just thought that I am not my father. I will like to give you a chance to prove your worth, Atlantian.” Belgor said. ”I feel like you are to do great things in the future. And I would like to stand beside you when that time comes.”

”That is comforting to hear. I am confident that I will not disappoint you.” I said with a confident smile.
