13 Ilerisa Vs Dryad (1/2)

On the island.

\”Welcome back Everyone to the final battle. Two gods would duke it out to determine the fate of your world. It's going to be bad, it's going to be bloody but it's going to be hella fun\” Gesdor boomed, clearly excited.

\”My Lords, would you mind?\”

\”Of course not\” Bosar replied, smiling. He and his two brothers produced their creation Orb. It was a transparent fist sized orb. They tapped it once and a staggering amount of mana flowed from it.

It surrounded the arena and created a small cage, lifting the arena to the atmosphere. Tons of projected images appeared around the world and everyone stopped what they were doing to watch the fight.

Ilerisa was geared up by his assistants. He wore a golden armour that made Cricador, the god of the forge, gnash his teeth. He held a wooden staff that made Gesdor glare at him and a jasmine necklace that made Jaseria's eyes cold. He held a flaming sword, which belonged to Csetor and Hades.

\”Kill him Dryad\” they said coldly.

\”Ooh, this is so exciting\” Lithit, goddess of chaos clapped her hands, her eyes twinkling.

Dryad was decked in a black gleaming armour made by the god of the forge. Her long hair was shortened and she had a large emerald in her forehead.

She materialised a green sword in her hands and a level 10 curse seed. It wasn't possible to upgrade it before but after 10 years, she was finally able to do it.

The seed was black in color and kept pulsing like it was alive. She grinned and dropped it on the arena. Almost immediately, all the arrays in the arena were destroyed and giant trees sprouted from the ground.

\”START\” Gesdor boomed and they launched at each other at the same time.

Dryad used the sturdy vines to attack Ilerisa and the latter used the flamimg sword to negate the attack. He waved the staff in his right hand as he cast a spell.

[Flood Dragon] he chanted and the Jasmine pearl lit up with a blue color. From the surrounding water, a huge water dragon was formed and it roared loudly, rushing at Dryad and her trees.

She cast a spell of her own. [Nature's protection] a huge wall made out of tree mass was formed and blocked the attack from the god. Ilerisa's spell soon dissipated after he felt his mana was being siphoned through his connection with the flood dragon.

He leaped and ran forward to cut the wall down. Dryad dismissed her spell and met his charge with her Emerald sword. They exchanged about a thousand moves, moving in and out of space as they fought but not out of the planet.

A quick look at the battle showed that Dryad was losing the melee combat. Ilerisa was physically strong and his speed was a dreaded feature of his. He never left a chance of retreat for Dryad and all his moves were to kill.

He drew first blood while Dryad was occupied with reviewing her strategy. She faltered for a few seconds but that was enough for Ilerisa to put some more cuts on her.

[Nature's embrace] she chanted and a giant leaf materialised, quickly swiping her and returning her to her mass of trees.

All the cuts on her body healed fast and she frowned.

\”He's fast, strong and cunning. Well versed in the art of war and has strong instincts. Now I kmow why he's a headache. Nevertheless, if it's to become a painkiller, I'll do anything it takes\”

Giant wings materialised from her back, making her look like a green fairy. A whitish coloured energy surrounded her turning her eyes and sword white. A white book appeared in front of her flipping rapidly before settling on a page written with blood.
