"I am the Angel of Death, Azazel. This is my time to rule. You shouldn't be awake at this time."
"Well, Mr. Bird Brain. I think you got this all mixed up. This was never my time in the first place, and your unnecessary rampage is one day going to get my friends killed. Before that happens, you're going to die here today." I countered back with gusto.
"Bird Brain?" Azazel cackled with laughter as he threw his head back. The long stream of black hair slipped off his shoulder and onto his back. "You have the nerves to stand up to me?"
"That's a stupid question." I snorted at his remark.
"You have spirit, or should I say foolish courage." Azazel raised his hand towards me and a shot of black energy towards me.
I blew a jet of ice magic towards Azazel's black magic. Upon contact, his magic slowly froze up. Alarmed, Azazel pulled back his attack.
"Not bad, for a lizard."
"I know right, bird brain." I haughtily spoke. Carefully examining the next move, I crept around him like a cat.
Not a single movement between the goblin and the Beast-kin stepped forward. They knew that if they attacked that they would either die from either one of us.
"I don't think you will have much to say. I can tell that you are not even fully grown. Sadly, I will have to snuff out our existence here and now."
Black energy balls formed around him and shot towards me like a bullet. My tail swung forward and hit the first energy ball back. The other two glazed my shoulder and thigh leaving behind a gaping wound. The others I dodged perfectly and shot back icicles crystals that formed around me.
At this rate, the ground battle was not in my favor. Limping in pain, I unfurled my wings to take flight. A black energy ball shot through my wings, causing a shockwave of pain.
"You're going nowhere, lizard."
I hissed in anger. Charging forward, I blew a jet of ice. Azazel dodges effortlessly to the side. His hands raised towards my back, he shot a beam of energy. A chunk of my white scales flew off my body and scattered onto the ground. Alarmed, I rolled over to cover my exposed belly.
Quickly, ice formed around the belly, covering it from any attack. My claws slashed forward and missed. With an overarching kick, Azazel pinned my hand onto the ground. The weight of his small body compared to my hands did not compare to his strength. I was shocked by how strong Azazel was now than when he was in his beast form.
"If I were you, I would stay down." Azazel peered down towards me with a wide grin.
"Never!" I spat a torrent of small icicles on his face. He was not able to dodge every single one of them and had cuts all over his skin. With my other free hand, I swept it towards him from behind and grabbed him.
With all the strength I could muster, I squeezed him hard. I could hear the sound of his bones breaking under my crushing hands. Painful expressions could be seen on Azazel, but he did not scream. Instead, he pushed against my claws and pulled himself free. One of Azazel's arms was dangling from his side unmoving.
"I'll kill you, lizard!"
"Try me!" I yelled back as I lashed out with claws, teeth, and ice. He dodged every one of my attacks.
Azazel reached over towards his shoulder and popped his dislocated arm back into place. His hands glowed once again with black magic, but this time I felt a strange surge of power building up in his claws.
Crap. I knew then and there that Azazel was going to let out a powerful attack. Once again, opening my wings, I flew upwards into the cloudy sky. Azazel raised his hands up and then slashed downwards.
Black lightning descended from the sky and out onto the field. The black lightning demolished everyone who was on the ground. A third of the goblins were destroyed along with a handful of Beast-kin. I, on the other hand, was swerving around in a chaotic acrobatic flight.
Every bolt of lightning that struck, I swerved rolled and dived. I did not want to get struck by lightning. I frantically flew with my bloodied wings; with every pump, I felt a sharp pain that jolted through my whole body.
Swerving from a lighting strike, I headed straight downwards towards Azazel. A burst of Ice magic erupted from deep inside my body. The whole ground was completely encased in ice. An ice cage engulfs itself around the Azazel's body, freezing him in place. The thundering thunderstorms quieted down until finally no more sparked around us.
I let out a heavy sigh. I could feel my energy being spent in rapid succession. Any longer, I knew that this would become bad.
Crack. Crack. Crack.
The ice breaks apart and a gust of wind pushes outwards. Everyone who was watching was pushed back by the powerful current. Even I had a bit of trouble standing on my legs without getting pushed back.
What the hell? How is he so powerful? I seriously underestimated his power. Even in my dragon form, was I not strong enough? I gritted my teeth and rushed forward.
It was now or never. With claws outstretched, ice formed around my hands into a cold chilly ice. With a violent strike downwards, I aimed to kill Azazel there and then.
Azazel's wings completely deflected my attack and instead sent out dozens of sharp feathers. Each feathers were like knives that cut through the hardest rock easily like butter.
"Damn it!" I yelled. With every ounce of power that I could muster, I pushed all my energy into my jaws.
Azazel raised his arms and shot a strong black beam of energy into my stomach. A large gaping hole was present. I snapped down hard onto his whole hand and ripped it from his body. Without realizing it, I blew hot, burning fire onto Azazel. His entire arm disintegrated into nothingness, and a half of his chest was feverously burnt.
Blood flowed out from both of us, and we continued to battle. Azazel shot up in the sky with an arm missing.
"I'm going to kill you!" Azazel screamed at the top of his lungs.
Blood seeped out of my mouth, and I chuckled. Each laugh, I cough up blood. "Bring it, Bird Brain." Willing the ice to cover the large gaping hole, I flew after him in the hopes to pin him down once again.
The pain was excruciatingly painful to the point where I almost blacked out. Even still, I kept on battling. I could not lose it here. Not when my friend's lives were on the line. After today, who knows what would happen to them if I died.
My strength was seeping out of me, and my wings shuddered with pain. At the rate that I was going, I knew that I would only stay adrift for another minute. Using my wings to glide, I tumbled towards Azazel, who was below me. Reaching out with my claws, I pluck him out of the sky.
"You're not going to go anywhere, bird brain." I hissed. Already I inhaled a deep breath of ice magic onto Azazel. This time though, I mixed both ice and light magic in the hopes of containing him forever till I was strong enough to destroy him.
"No! No! I'll kill you for sure!"
"Shut up, bird brain." With a crack, my head smacked his in one hit. Luckily for me, he was completely knocked out.
Even though we were fell like a comet, I continually spin my magic around him over and over again. Till finally, a crystal prison wrapped around Azazel.
Crash! Crackle! Boom! Kawwwoooooosh!
Trees broke from both of our impacts. The crystal slipped out of my hands and rolled a good feet away from me. Everything around me was swirling, and my consciousness was drifting in and out.
My dragon form was forcefully canceled, and I was reverted into my child-like body.
"Kuhuhuh, Stupid Bird Brain. I win." Blood seeped out my mouth and onto the ground. White scales littered around me like snowflakes as each one was covered up in blood. I could not move nor summon up any strength. Instead, my mind slowly fell deep into consciousness, and the last thing I saw was a shadow that went into the forest.
Crap.
This is the worst time to die.
The world around me went completely black.
