254 The World Collapses (1/2)

-Order of Light City, North Gate-

Those two... changing to their monster forms gave me shiver all over my body. Why am I feeling so uneasy... I really can't tell but my body is telling me to give up already. I'm so tired and I need to get out of this ungodly place. I'm not the only one who's tired, Osia's not even standing straight anymore.

”RAAAAAAWR! FLAME SALAMANDER'S TAIL DRILL!” Daimond pushed him above using his earth giant arms and then Vulkhan used his arm with swirling flames around it making it look like a blazing drill! Excited to kill us huh.

”SKY DRAKE'S ROAAAAR!” A more powerful version of his monster roar made a powerful shockwave that almost destroyed my eardrums... at least control it, Drake! He's going to stop Vulkhan!

”BEHOLDER'S GIANT PALMS!” Daimond used his giant earth hands spell creating walls to block the attack of Drake and it did! The attack destroyed the giant hands but it didn't stop Vulkhan's charge!

”TITAN'S GIANT FIERY FIST!” Please body, don't die on me!

”Here I am! GAAAAAAAAH!” I poured everything I have to my fist and hope that it would at least help me survive a little more time!

*BOOOOOOOOOOM!* Ugh! I was thrown away by the explosion force after both our attacks collided. I'm covered in bruises after that powerful explosion and my body even severely wounded.

”FLAME SALAMANDER'S FLAME BREATH!” Another one already?! Both of his hands are covered with absolute firepower that also empowers his giant sword, last time we fought, he achieved high-level Flame but now, I can tell that he achieved higher-level... There's no way I'd survive from a spell like that!

*ZWOOOOOOOSH!* He's holding his sword while falling from above covered in full bright blood colored fire. He shined from above that the sky even turned red telling me that it's the end.

”SKY DRAKE'S SECOND FORM! SKY DRAKE'S OUTRAGE UPROAR!” Drake went in front of us to stop Vulkhan's attack! Drake's monster soul is an offensive type that the only way to defend us is to use a more powerful offense. A loud burst of sound blast throughout the entire area and shattered every building nearby away. All I could do is cover my ears with my hands because of his disastrous attack.

*BOOOOOOOOOM!* Vulkhan's attack exploded halfway! Drake's power absolutely stopped his attack!

”Don't forget that I'm still standing here protecting them. You have to kill me first before you can touch them. DO YOU HEAR ME?!!” I appreciate the concern Drake but please, stop freaking shouting already!

”Don't be too proud of yourself. All you can do is defend and we're not even starting yet. Daimond, show them that they should respect us. I'm just gonna watch you guys get smashed to death.” Vulkhan's confident. I can tell that he's not just going to watch but also recover mana while Daimond causes damage to us...

”You're overestimating yourself, Vulkhan. That's why even you're powerful enough to dominate the whole world of NLO with your overall power, you never made to reach the top because you underestimate all the people around you. Your pride will never help you.” Drake's right. Vulkhan has the power but he never used it well. I beat him in the tournament because he let his guard down. Vortz might have the same level when it comes to spells with him but Vulkhan has better and wider area of effect that he can annihilate an entire city, that's when he fought the Dracotaur but after his loss with it, he probably trained so bad to reach this kind of power and I can't tell anymore.

”I can't listen to your gibberish all day, Drake, but you're just a piece of the old man's plan. Even if you chose to interfere, you don't contribute to anything at all because you're nothing but just a small hindrance. We'll make sure that the old man will win this war and you can't do anything to stop us.” Vulkhan seems to know a lot. I'm lost about all of this old man's plan here and old man's plan there... I can't seem to figure it out at all...

”I chose to help Scy and his group because I want to decide about my own future and not because an old man told me to do something else. I won't let anyone put a saddle in my guild because they want to! We're the DRAGOONS and we will push forward!” That's the Drake I know!

”Shut it, BEHOLDER'S SECOND FORM! HANDS OF THE BEHOLDER!” Daimond interrupted Drake's speech and used the second form instead. His hands are covered with some kind of earth element and he's emitting a strong aura. He didn't change that much but his hands might have some sort of power. Suddenly, Daimond made a punch in front of him...

*BAAAAAAAAAM!* Out of nowhere, Drake was knocked back pretty hard and got forced to hit the ground! It's like he was hit by something big but... wait, does that mean Daimond's punch earlier hit Drake from afar?!
