Chapter 70: Kai's Defeat?
The tension was so thick that it could be cut with a knife on Kai and Morgana's side. While he wasn't sure what to do yet, as he had never been in a situation at this level of unprecedented danger. He had never run into such a situation before, he, a vampire lord was going to be fighting a dragon that had lived for hundreds of millions of years.
He was a being that could bring the world to its knees and destroy the whole world and Kai was going to have to fight it head-on.
He was literally a bringer of the apocalypse and while all of Kai's instincts told him to run and hide under some rock and hope for the whole situation to disappear, he knew that he couldn't.
He was the reason that all this was happening, the vampire lord had unintentionally released Dahak and the great dragon knew of his existence and of his most guarded secret- the blood orb. he couldn't hide from the ancient beast, he was going to have to take him on now when he still had a chance to defeat him alongside Morgana and Dracule. If he was to wait, his chances would be even lower and he still couldn't rule out the possibility that the [Berserk] ability would take him over completely.
At that moment Dahak was standing still like a mountain and was examining the battlefield as well as the opponents. Kai decided to wait for the longest amount of time without fighting until it looked like the great primordial dragon would decide to attack. After all his part in the entire war was to delay Dahak and to buy enough time so that Dracul could amass enough power so that he could beat Dahak once and for all.
The True dragon of darkness fixed his gaze on Kai after his scan of the battlefield. "Well it looks like the degenerates have served their purpose," he rumbled. Dahak's voice had a deep gravelly ring to it and Kai had to admit that just that voice oozed of power.
Kai chalked up his confidence and asked the bringer of the apocalypse "What was their purpose." The vampire progenitor was sickened at how Dahak referred to his descendants. The dragon's gaze changed from a look of condescension to a more thoughtful one. "Their one purpose was to entertain me and they have managed to do so successfully. You were especially enjoyable to watch, I noticed that you, young progenitor were using the law of blood. It seems that the law is a courtesy of the unique object burrowed inside your body."
Kai growled at his mention of the blood orb but didn't attack him, he needed Dahak to talk and maintain a conversation so that he could safely delay him.
Kai was aware of the fact that as soon as they would start to fight, he would easily be beaten. After all, Dahak could move at light speeds easily, while the vampire progenitor could run at supersonic speeds and that just wasn't enough.
"Why are you here waging war Dahak" Kai shouted, "I would have thought that you would have enjoyed your new-found freedom instead of trying to take revenge. After all, its common knowledge that as soon as you seek revenge, you will lose your original purpose.
Why not just enjoy the current technologically advanced world." Kai had just started to say random lines he had remembered from books and animes he had seen in his past life, in hopes that it would cause the primordial dragon to talk. He hoped that the dragon would be like all of the classic villains and would talk a lot. If he did then it would easily make his role easier. And luckily his wish was granted.
"Oh, young one, we both know that this is not about revenge. I have achieved it back when I was sealed. (A/N: He turned Dracul into a vampire, instead of a better lifeform and now he can't use proper magic.)
Instead, I merely want the divine object inside your body. Give it up and I won't kill you." Dahak thought to himself that he was giving Kai an extremely good offer and if he knew better, he would offer up the orb and successfully save his life. He didn't need to kill ants they were beneath him and he didn't want to lower his dignity and kill him if it was not needed.
But unfortunately, Kai couldn't do what was offered, after all the orb was the one object that was able to protect his soul from this foreign universe. As soon as the orb was removed, he would die from the universe's suppression.
In addition, even if the universe didn't kill him, then the personification of the laws, specifically Space would kill him. He was being hunted down by the law at the moment.
"I'm sorry but I will have to refuse your offer, I can't part with the orb," Kai said in a rather sorrowful tone. "A shame then, it seems that I will have to rip it out of your corpse." Dahak's deep voice turned into a growl. "You should be glad that I even gave you this chance, how dare an ant refuse its superiors commands!"
All forms of cordiality had been dropped by Dahak. "Wait, I just want to tell you that the orb isn't any divine object, in fact, it is pretty useless. It's only purpose is to contain one soul, you don't need it!" The vampire progenitor yelled out in a last-ditch attempt.
But Dahak only scoffed, "that is only what you have discovered boy." Kai was reading his body language and understood that he was about to strike. Instantly he engulfed his body in his soul aura and condensed blood energy over his body aerating a rather plain looking red light armour. The most eye-catching parts of his armour were the helmet, gauntlets and boots.
The helmet was designed to have multiple similarities with an owl's head. The gloves were heavily reinforced and had large studs where the knuckles were meant to be. At the edge of each finger, a sharp blade could be extended, making the fingers turn into talons when necessary.
The boots could extend into hooked claws giving each kick a more piercing ability. Combined with his already stretched wings the armour gave Kai an appearance similar to a human owl.
He himself could take the human-owl form if he wanted to, but he didn't see any reason to do so as that would only make him a larger target, due to him growing to 3 metres tall when he transformed.
Kai had been working on this spell back when he had first discovered that he could turn into an owl. The owl armour spell could only effectively be used by Kai and boosted his piercing power and speed by another 20%.
This gave Kai an insane boost of speed but combined with all of his spells he was under tremendous strain and energy expenditure, at that moment he had decided that he had to delay him as much as possible he was going to use all of his aces.
And he had successfully delayed him for nearly 4 minutes just by talking and he was prepared to give his all if needed.
He got ready to attack but unfortunately for him, the primordial dragon had had enough of the wait and moved first. This caused the vampire progenitor to be incredibly tense and barely manage to avoid Dahak's first attack.
But he could see that true dragon had barely used any of his strength and even with that meagre amount of force he had managed to destroy the walls as well as cause the ground to rumble and create another minor earthquake.
Kai recovered and managed to unleash two blows filled with all of his strength, these fists were filled with enough force to cause a crater a couple of kilometres large easily. Kai hadn't been able to test his true physical strength with his enhancements and when he finally had been able to, he had discovered that they weren't able to actually do anything.
But luckily, he had been able to cause some soul damage with the soul aura. However, it seemed that all it did was anger the titanic behemoth, causing him to smash his claw onto Kai's body with much higher speeds. "How dare an ant injure me!" Dahak roared with great anger as if Kai's attack had tainted him. After the dragon raised his paw, he sent a death-inducing breath attack full of darkness onto Kai.
After he finished, he examined Kai's body and saw that his armour had been destroyed and his body was almost completely destroyed. The darkness element had been eating away at the vampire progenitor's body. The only reason that he had survived was due to his enhanced regeneration factor.
'Shit, I failed' were Kai's last thoughts as he blacked out.

dragonfang1917 This chapter was really fun to write. Who thinks they can guess what will happen, will Kai be saved? Has he delayed enough to give Dracul enough time to defeat Dahak?
