27 The First Fight In The Arena (1/2)

Kai looked at the monster that was standing in front of him. It just happened to be a dragon, a [Common Welsh Green] to be exact.

Standing at 6 meters tall and 10 meters long the dragon looked imposing and dangerous. It had glistening green scales that covered the dragon's flesh, two thin sharp horns.

At the base of the horns were wider patches of flesh that acted as the dragon's ears. The dragon had a mouth full of big pointed teeth like a crocodile. The claws of the dragon were flat with the edges of the talons were hooked, meant to give the dragon grip.

The last feature that created the dragon's terrifying look were its eyes. It had dead white eyes that had no pupils in them giving the dragon an appearance like the bringer of death.

Kai looked at the Common Welsh Green and tried to remember when he had killed it, no matter how hard he tried to remember he couldn't and eventually gave up. Kai looked at it and felt that the dragon wasn't strong at all, he felt like he could defeat the thing in an instant.

But at that moment that Kai had regained his confidence, he got a nasty surprise. In the opposite direction of Kai position, stood the dragon. The arena floor opened up next to him and an ethereal nearly-featureless face floated from below. The face had one feature… a mouth.

The face drifted closer to the dragon and opened its mouth, fangs extended from the mouth and grew until they were 20 centimetres long. The mouth bit into the dragon's neck and injected Kai's own vampire venom.

The dragon struggled weakly, but to no avail, it couldn't resist the ethereal face. After a few seconds, the face disappeared, and the arena floor grew back again.

The dragon's body released a fifty-meter wide cloud of red mist that cloaked the dragon's body. Inside the mist, Kai could hear screams of pain and see sudden lights of red lightning that showed a shadow the dragons struggling body.

Kai could feel the rising aura of the dragon, in the beginning, it was still weak but Kai was starting to feel danger from the large mist cloud. He tried to move towards the dragon's direction to kill it before it grew too powerful. However, Kai was immobilised to the spot by an unseen force, no matter how hard he struggled he couldn't move his body apart from his eyes.

Five minutes later the mist cleared and in the former dragon's place there stood a completely different dragon. The dragon was twice the original Common Welsh Green's size. It had large spikes running down its spine, and at the tip of its tail, it had a large sharp bone that could pierce metal.

The dragon had two more horns on its head while the original two had grown much larger. The mouth full of teeth had grown larger while two fangs at the top of its gums had grown to become vampire fangs jutting out of its mouth.

Its original green scales had turned a deep red, and its dead eyes now had to crimson pupils that emitted a terrible bloodlust. Overall the dragon was now extremely dangerous after its transformation.

Kai looked at the dragon in horror as the memory of the Dahak came back to him causing him to shiver all over. But while Kai's mind was fearing the dragon his vampiric instincts were raging at the new challenger that tried to challenge it.

The combination of the bloodlust emitted by the dragon and his own instincts had caused Kai to calm down moderately, he still feared the dragon, but he could still think logically.

Kai looked at the dragon and tried to understand why the dragon would change so drastically. In his transformation, he changed his appearance, but his own height and size didn't change like this dragon did.
