BXBX NOVEL Chapter 107 Clash Of Blue, Red, And Black
Elder Harald knelt, gasping for breath. Everything that had happened so far felt surreal.
The destructive dark beams were followed by surging waves of defensive bright lights. It occurred too quickly for them to react on time.
"Wha-… what just happened?"
"I-I am unsure, Elder…", Xerga lay on the ground in a worse condition, "Th-that elder from the League must have stopped… the aggressor…"
"Is that so… the League, huh?"
Elder Harald was surprised, "Where they sent here… or just a coincidence…?"
"I… forgot, Elder. I think we should ask later.", Xerga replied.
"Alright, search for everyone and gather around. We\'ll wait for Garron to come back.", Elder Harald ordered. He raised his head and noticed dust rising above a cliff far away, "Is that…"
"Damn old bastard. Didn\'t think that an archmage was this strong!", a low demonic voice complained. Within the dust stood the bulky silhouette of Mahiista, gripping his trembling hands.
Not long after, a monstrous figure descended from the sky with such force that a kilometer-wide swath of earth on the cliff crumbled under the pressure. The Arsolo Stronghold trembled violently, toppling the worn-out buildings and any remaining structures.
From the smoke emerged the head of a demonic dragon. The horrible scarlet eyes gazed across Arsolo Stronghold with arrogance. Then its scaly jaw opened wide, showing razor-sharp white teeth, and screamed furiously.
Its twin head sent out another wail. Despite its shorter length and smaller size, it was fiercer.
This couple of sound waves worsened the ears of those who were unconscious and the ones who remained such as the king-level beasts shuddered and knelt in fear, not daring to look up after hearing this deafening roar.
"Silence!", Elder Flock shouted.
He enchanted his voice, which acted like a net, capturing the aggressive sound waves and compressing them to the shape of a massive boulder before sending them flying back into the vulnerable faces of the twin-headed dragon.
Both heads were startled and thrown backward. They were struck down and rolled for hundreds of meters on the ground. Their roars from earlier rang chaotically inside their ears, forcing them to wag their heads crazily.
Mahiista wasn\'t spared with his figure flying together with his new-found pet though he was able to protect his ears from the raging sound waves.
He brushed the earth aside and raised his voice, directing it to Elder Flock, "Hideous old man! How dare you not use this when that ear-shattering voice rocked this place earlier?!"
"Oh, about that…", Elder Flock floated in the air, uncaring of Mahiista\'s complaints, "I just wanted to test your patience, demon."
"Test my patience? You damn of a human test a demon\'s patience? You…! Argh! Unthinkable!"
Mahiista\'s small body glowed intensely in scarlet before bulging several times his original size. He transformed into a twenty-meter demon, grabbed his now-enlarged demon pitchfork, and charged straight at Elder Flock.
"Test my patience? Nobody tests a demon\'s patience, human! Die!"
Mahiista traversed tens of kilometers in half a second, arriving right in front of Elder Flock. The old man grinned, shocking Mahiista, \'He reacted? Must be a fluke! This human dare to make a mockery of me!\'
"Let\'s take this someplace else, shall we?", Elder Flock flicked his left hand and the large demonic creature was flung far away to the west, generating a soft shockwave in the process.
Mahiista\'s figure became a dot and disappeared.
"I\'ll leave the rest to you two. Don\'t underestimate that dragon and deal with it as soon as possible."
Arahon and Harrtugg Naaw arrived beside him.
"You don\'t want to deal with that demonic creature directly and want to play with him a little bit more?!", Harrtugg Naaw was quite displeased.
If this elder knew that that demonic deathly dragon was unmatched, why would he waste time on an opponent he could easily take care of?
"Ohoho, where\'s the determination before, frost dragon? Did you forget what you said to me a while back?", Elder Flock raised his eyebrows, "I have plans with that demonic creature. He seems to be hiding a lot of things and I want to investigate it while he\'s still acting dumb."
"Can\'t you let the academy do that task instead?", Arahon argued, "I\'m sure that they will come up with a way to look into that guy\'s mind. Well, assuming that he would survive after your beating."
Elder Flock shook his head, "You\'re still too naïve, fire dragon. We\'ll talk more later, I\'m going now."
His figure trembled and vanished in place, leaving the two of them to face the demonic deathly dragon.
"Let\'s get to work, shall we?", Harrtugg Naaw knuckled his fingers and transformed back into his original dragon form which was several hundreds of meters long.
Arahon didn\'t transform and instead, distanced himself to the right while carefully staring at the much bigger demonic dragon.
It was angrily looking for the person responsible for its embarrassment earlier. The two heads only found two disgusting dragons who stared at him as if they were challenging him to a battle.
\'Lowly dragons! Do they not realize this master in front of them?!\'
The demonic dragon opened both its mouths and channeled a dark beam.
"Won\'t let you!", Harrtugg Naaw fired off an ice projectile that blasted the smaller head and disrupted its channeling.
Arahon dashed towards the larger head and punched it with his small hands.
Their quick attacks knocked the demonic dragon again.
It howled in anger and tried to bite off Arahon\'s tiny figure. He evaded the lethal strike and went for its abdominal section.
The demonic dragon realized his intentions and ignited his body with fiery black fire, forcing Arahon to back off.
"Demonic Fire! How annoying!"
In the middle of his complaints, the deathly dragon struck out with its bulky and spiky tail and threw Arahon far away.
With the slight distraction, Harrtugg Naaw rained down cold-biting freeze beams that slowly extinguished the demonic fire surging on the demonic dragon\'s body.
Its large sharp claws tightly grasped upon the earth, crumbling it down into fragments while narrowing its angered eyes.
Dark clouds formed above Harrtugg Naaw and struck dark lightning in his wake. It put him into a defensive position, using ice blocks to defend against the sudden attacks.
The demonic dragon fired a dark beam, wanting to demolish the frost dragon but the latter sent off freeze beams of its own. Harrtugg Naaw had no choice but to multitask or else he won\'t be able to survive against the incessant assaults of his enemy.
Seeing the seriousness forming on the frost dragon\'s eyes, the demonic dragon\'s smaller head smirked and was about to launch another dark beam when large searing chains propped up from the ground and pulled it over.
The other head who was busy fighting off against Harrtugg Naaw was carried down as well. Its dark beam traversed vertically to the sky, piercing it with unfathomable power.
Taken down, both heads roared in agitation.
Far from their battlefield, Arahon crawled out of the crater and cursed.
\'If I haven\'t used that Cataclysmic Meteoric Firefall earlier, I would have toppled down that demonic bastard this instant.\'
Despite the thought crossing his mind, he knew that it would be impossible to do if he wanted anybody in this area to survive.
\'Killing this thing isn\'t worth it. The academy master might have use of him soon.\'
The species that resided in the Otherworld were too vast and most of them were unknown to the specifics as to how these species managed to survive and multiply. Although Aludia\'s inhabitants wanted to research the anatomy of the Otherworld\'s demonic species, the demonic aura they exuded was far too potent for anyone to resist.
Arahon knew that only the Heavenly Magic Academy had its ways on how to deal with such problems.
"Hey! Don\'t try to kill him! Remember what we agreed upon earlier!", he shouted to Harrtugg Naaw.
"Don\'t tell me what to do!"
With the distraction gone, Harrtugg Naaw pointed his freezing beam towards the dark cloud. It instantly froze the moment it contacted his beam before shattering it into pieces.
The two of them charged after the demonic dragon who stumbled to the ground. Arahon increased the number of searing chains that bound it.
The demonic dragon tried to use its demonic fire to break the chains around its body to no avail.
\'Fool! I\'ve learned my lesson earlier! Don\'t think that your demonic essence is stronger than my divinity!\'
Arahon wildly punched at the abdominal sections of the demonic dragon, emitting unnaturally pleasing meat-slapping sounds. The entirety of his punches was focused on the demonic dragon\'s inner organs and not on the exteriority of its body.
As a dragon, he knew how difficult it was to pierce through the scales and the hide of their species by brute force, let alone a demonic one. Knowing a technique like internal attacks could give someone the ability to deal with species with strong exterior defenses.
"Gragh!", the demonic dragon struggled. It couldn\'t come up with a solution to deal with the pestering small humanoid dragon violently pounding its body.
The smaller head wanted to vent its rage but the searing chains bound its mouth shut and its head fixed at a dangerous angle.
Upon its enraged eyes, it saw a pair of huge white dragon claws walking toward it.
"You damned of a dragon. How dare you use my sons as your essence?!", Harrtugg Naaw\'s face became fierce.
"Your eyes, your skin, your scales…! I can\'t help but think of what my children would have become!"
He shouted on its face. Since it couldn\'t take, Harrtugg Naaw\'s anger rose and he violently pummeled the smaller head using its limbs and tail.
"Don\'t go too far or else you\'ll kill it!", Arahon reminded again.
"Stop reminding me!", the frost dragon reprimanded and started venting his frustrations.
"All of you should die!"
"I will tear you from the inside out, you damned demon! Do you hear me?!"
He babbled on and on, and beat up the two heads without a care.
A while later, Harrtugg Naaw noticed that the smaller head didn\'t yield. Rather, it expressed its distaste and bared its sharp teeth on him.
"You-!"
His uncontrollable rage led him to blasting a freezing beam on it.
It tried to resist by gnawing its teeth and gathering a huge amount of demonic essence. However, the other head wanted to use the demonic essence to protect its body and internal organs.
This conflict gave rise to their impending doom and soon, the smaller head was encased in thick ice.
"Tsk. Even in this state, your despising face annoys me!", Harrtugg Naaw used his claws and crushed the brittle head.
The loss of the smaller head inflicted a fatal injury on the larger head. Its mind blanked out and fell unconscious.
Dust rose again but Harrtugg Naaw remained indifferent to it. After the dust settled, he saw Arahon approaching him who was shaking his head in dismay.
"My dear friend, that is not how you torture your aggressors. This is like bringing mercy to them."
