Kapitel 182: The Life of a Legend
I flew hard. The Phoenix was shooting out missiles of fireballs over and over at me, making me do twirls in midair.
Khor held on tightly, fear laced in his eyes as he didn't want to fall off.
A few times, the fireball whizzed past my face and even burnt Khor a few times. Even his clothes were temporarily on fire as he had to pat them down.
I could also feel the powerful lull of the black fire lightly stinging my skin. It was not like any other fire I could get used to. Even though I was fireproof, there was something different about this fire.
"Khor, are you okay?!" I shouted, twisting in midair.
A breath of fire flew past me.
Khor mumbled and squeaked. He closed his eyes for a moment, taking a deep breath.
"Khor?" I asked again. My eyes sharpened, looking in front of me.
The Phoenix was hot on my tail. So I took a sharp turn to the right, flying toward the Phoenix.
I couldn't keep running away, plus I didn't want to be the one being chased. I am a dragon, a dragon that does not flee!
With a huff of breath, my nose flared. There was no way a legendary creature was going to push me down, especially after I tangled with a few of them before.
"Hold on tight!" I roared.
A powerful lull of energy started to bubble in my chest. Then, blue light began to rumble, becoming bigger and bigger, where my chest swelled. Finally, a burst of magic expelled outward in a flash.
Bright blue flames escaped my lips, completely dousing the Phoenix in one go.
An earth-shattering screech could be heard.
Khor groaned in pain as the screech harmed his ears and made him numb. His hand slightly loosened, tilting to the side.
I could feel his body shifting, and I knew that he was going to fall.
It took everything out of me to correct my flight as I was at a weird angle. If I moved in a completely different direction, Khor would fall to his death, while at the same time, I had to fend off the Phoenix.
With a crooked twist in midair, I quickly readjusted. The Phoenix took this chance of my strange acrobat and dove in.
Khor breathed heavily; he gritted his teeth as he held back his pain. He reached out and grasped my scales, holding himself back in place from falling. Then, finally, he pulled himself up, getting back into position.
I, on the other hand, went into a full-on collision with the Phoenix.
The black heat from the Phoenix constantly barraged me. I could feel my scales turning unusually hot.
"You fake dragon!" The Phoenix screeched.
I snarled, showing off my teeth.
I hated that phrase as I knew I wasn't a fake.
Reaching out, my claws dug into the Phoenix body, we flapped in midair, but we were falling down simultaneously.
Khor screamed at the top of his lungs in fear.
All three of us were falling straight into the very ground.
I did everything I could to not land on Khor.
With a loud thud, we landed on top of the Phoenix. I thought that I heard bones cracking under the heavyweight.
The Phoenix flapped his wings, trying to get out from under me.
I bulked and twisted.
Khor was thrown as he flew back, landing on the ground with a thud. He groaned.
My neck slithered, heading straight toward the Phoenix neck. I didn't want it to escape from under my grasp as we fought tooth, nail, and beak, trying to overcome my power. But I didn't allow it.
I could feel the heat blazing against my skin, but I snapped forward, trying to snap the phoenix neck in half. There was no way I would allow this monster to get away, especially at the rate they were going, heading toward the tree.
My tail whipped around, grabbing the Phoenix's left-wing. I yanked it down, causing the Phoenix to tilt, pinning it to the ground.
Wildly, the Phoenix pecked at me in an attempt to get me off.
My claws reached out, digging into its fiery body. I felt something squishy in my fingers, telling me that this creature still had some hard substance that I could tear.
The deeper my claws went into its skin, the hotter I could feel the flames licking my scales.
At first, it was a low pitch, but as time went on, I could feel my scales heating up, becoming a terrible itch.
I pulled back, realizing how painful it was starting to get.
"Squawk!" The Phoenix screeched, pulling its wing free. It stabbed its beak straight toward my face, where I barely dodged as its beak glazed against my face.
My left claw swung, smashing into the side of the Phoenix face, dazzling it temporarily.
A blast of powerful energy started to swell around the Phoenix body. I could tell that there was something sinister coming, and I knew I had to escape.
Pulling back, I darted back. My hand reached out, grabbing Khor off the ground.
I ran.
Suddenly, the burst of energy from behind me swelled to great lengths. A blast of black fire erupted out of the Phoenix's body. The heavy heat smashed into my body, making me squirm.
I hated it.
The darkness swelled with the intent to devour everything it could. Finally, the darkness around me hissed and silently crept back into the shadows.
Everything around the vicinity was burnt and gone.
A smell of burnt life lingered heavily in the air. The wind blew it straight in my face, making me take a quick short breath.
I could smell it.
Death and Destruction were everywhere.
It didn't take long before the Phoenix shook as it got up, its black flames licking the surrounding with vigor. A couple flaps its wings to check to make sure that everything is okay.
On the other hand, Khor rushed forward. Shaking his battle hammer over his head.
"Khor!" I yelled. Shocked to see him go headfirst into the dark fire that would not quell.
Instead, the fire danced with vigor, becoming stronger and stronger.
Khor did not back down. Even though he was injured, he still fought on.
The Phoenix seemed to cackle with delight as it aimed to end Khor's life.
Jumping to the side, Khor dodged the Phoenix's beak from impaling him. He rolled on the ground, pushing himself off the ground. Its beak was stuck in the ground.
Flapping its wings, it pulled its beak out.
Frustrated, the Phoenix opened its flaming black wings. A blast of fire was shot out of its mouth, aiming straight towards his Khor.
With a grunt, Khor reached over toward its neck and broke the chain.
A powerful hum echoed around him, covering him with a white barrier that appeared to save his life.
But even then, the Phoenix blew fire continuously over and over.
The powerful push of black fire continuously roared, making me rear back.
When the Phoenix finished blowing fire, it pulled back its head.
The fire cleared, giving Khor a momentary breather.
In the middle was Khor, standing a bit hunched over as the black fire cleared away. He was safe, nothing damaged or hurt.
A swell of joy burst inside me. I was excited at the bravery that Khor was showing, mostly
because he didn't back down even without the legendary weapon.
Suddenly, I could feel the surge of energy in me.
The legendary weapon inside my body was budding with power. I knew I needed to summon it out as it was calling out to Khor.
With every powerful will of magic, the Legendary Weapon, a war hammer, Bone Crusher, appeared in Khor's hands.
Khor was shocked, staring at the weapon in his hand. He didn't expect such a powerful weapon would land in his hand, especially after he was rejected at first.
"Khor!" I shouted. I knew that he couldn't stay in such a state for too long. Time was ticking, and the Phoenix was still creating havoc.
With a snap of his head, Khor grabbed Bone Crusher tightly in his hand, realizing instantly what he had to do.
The light in his eyes sparkled with conviction.
