Capítulo 20: Chapter 20 arrival, mask?
---Cu' Pov---
I was rushing toward where the fluctuations of my medallion that was to protect her from whatever it was that nearly killed her were coming from.
I should've given her more protection!
I should've followed her!
I was wallowing in regret as the fear of losing her was nearly making me lose my mind!
It took some time before I heard something hitting some kind of hard object as the sound of metal screeching was painful to hear but I felt that it was my medallion that was the cause.
the sight made me growl in anger there was a man that stood over my student and he was repeatedly attacking the white dome that was protecting my student!
So I roared out loud to get the man's attention as I was shaking in fury!

The man turned to me while maintaining a smile as if everything else was beneath him.
Judging from the scattered dragons and the memories i had this man was more than likely one of the superior dragons that the lesser ones revered as gods.
"How persistent, you inferior species, I kill one and another comes to join-"
The mere mention of him killing her tore at my heart, I roared at the heavens as I began crying the very person I cared for so much after Sortiara... was dead!?
I summoned a spear as I covered my body in armor, gold-ranked armor. then jumped up before I used my subskill to crash into the bastard slamming both of us into the ground caring very little for my own body as the damage of tackling him wasn't a good idea as both of us were harmed.
We both coughed up blood before I tried stabbing him with my spear while pushing his head down into the ground as hard as I could, which sadly only crack the ground, not his skull but at least it kept him in place as I tried burning him as well with my fire breath.
The Nearby lesser dragons that were helping this bastard got burned to a crisp too in the process!
*AAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH*
While it did bring some damage it wasn't enough it was the same for my spear that stabbed into his guts as I tried twisting it from how furious I was before those strange chains knocked me away.
We both coughed again my opponent was trying to get a read on how to harm me more before I said something that angered the bleeding Dragonoid that was healing as well.
"𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐨𝐧 𝐠𝐨𝐝𝐬, 𝐢 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐲𝐨𝐮!!!"
"what did you say?"
the man wiped off the blood that covered his face before adding.
"A lowly peon like me, one of the dragon gods of the highest bloodlines....?"
His words resounded as the man spoke full of malice and bloodlust from killing thousands upon thousands of people.
"ɖօ ռօȶ քʊȶ ʊֆ ǟȶ ȶɦɛ ֆǟʍɛ ʟɛʋɛʟ!!! ʏօʊ ɨռʄɛʀɨօʀ ֆքɛƈɨɛֆ!!!"
A burst of flames emerged from his body burning everything it touched luckily for Cu his armor protected him.
"MY NAME IS GRUMWELT. "ELEVENTH' OF THE 'WINGED BLOODLINE.'"
His flames scattered about destroying the nearby trees as if he was setting up a field for our fight before continuing.
"AMONG THOSE YOU CALL 'SUPERIOR DRAGONS' I AM BUT THE LOWEST RUNG OF THE LADDER!"
But I didn't care as all I wanted to do now... was kill this bastard!
This time I added all of my mana into this attack as Grumwelt was doing the same before a did this attack that now came naturally to me as each word made the attack stronger.
"ㄚㄖㄥ-ㄒㄖㄖ尺-丂卄ㄩㄥ!!!"
my opponent tried meeting my attack with his own flames that of which he came to regret.
it was fueled by my magic, my anger, my thoughts it changed this attack completely compared to when I first tried it as a joke.
the flames that were originally red became purple as I began to comprehend something as to why the words in the magic were so important the stronger the image the more attuned the spell will be with magic.
My fire breath burned hotter than any regular and sadly it would eat anything... me included.
the pained howled of my enemy was pleasant to hear but I shortly joined him in screaming I quickly dispelled to the magic as both of us didn't look well, but he was regenerating while I used a healing spell.
then I charged at the man again with my spear in hand that was glowing red from the flames before.
He was unable to react as the subskill of fairies was something one couldn't really react to unless you understood it and on top of that I was attacking like a wild beast with my attacks as a stab struck towards the abdomen as the first one struck true before the sound of meat sizzling was heard!
----------
the man grunted before grabbing the spear and pulling out of his gut with one hand that was burning there was a momentary contest of strength that occurred before a right hook hit Grumwelt which in turn he returned the favor with a punch of his own.
Punches, kicks, they were using everything that they could use trying to kill the other as they struggled with one another there were even a few lucky flesh-ripping bites that Cu gave when he managed to push the man down momentarily attacking like a rabid dog then again he was already close to insanity thanks to what happened to his adopted daughter.
the slugfest began as the spear fell to the ground this was a matter of anger that needed to be let out completely as their weapons were hindrances right now and they both wanted their enemy to suffer neither of them dodged, nor blocked as they just wanted to break their enemy completely!
before there was a chance, one of the lesser dragons tried attacking Cu while he was busy with Grumwelt but sensing the interloper the superior dragon allowed the attack to meet as he needed an opening to get a chance to finally kill this damned sorcerer!
Cu braced himself as he sensed the interloper as his enemy doubled his efforts in attacking to keep him in place, the lesser dragon attacked at the burnt spot of his armor drawing some blood.
but it was then the blood that was spilled and the blood on the ground quickly surrounded Cu's arms creating large claws before he swung out randomly as hard as he could repeatedly, as not only did it destroy Grumwelt's arms, it shredded anything it touched The lesser dragon gotten killed by the arms as well.
Grumwelt jumped back as soon as the arms reformed, he may have lost his arms and a large portion of his chest was shredded but thanks to the vitality of a dragon he was still alive.
But the next sight frightened him as Cu did a mass sacrificial spell gathering everyone and everything that was dead around him excluding Reonika his magic replenished and more powerful than before as the claws became a long sword that looked as if it was piercing the skies.
before Cu brought it down with a bestial roar putting every ounce of energy he had, be it magic or stamina he wanted to end him!
"̵̫̦̬̮̌͋̈́͋̔̊̓̀̈̚͜D̴̯̞͉̫͉̤̪̫̤͛̾̿͝I̷̥̥̞̬͔͒ͅË̸̻̬͉̪̗́̑̽̓͝ͅ"̷̧̎͂͝
It slammed into Grumwelt that was doing all that he could to stay alive as he took his dragon form intended to tank it with his scales he managed to resist as he was gravely injured but he survived, as for Cu his craving for the man's blood reached a new height.
As he decided to use the one spell that made him uneasy upon adding it to his arsenal as it was practically calling to him now telling him to use it but at the time it felt as if it was trying to trick him but after his daughter fell into her current state all thoughts of his self-preservation were thrown out of the window.
as he tried to move Cu was too weak and His opponent was intending on ending him thus he quickly summoned a green mask then put it on.
It was then the man that had slain the only Archfiend that never got a chance to make a copy, or substitute or even a doppelganger took its place...
There was only one last thing that Cu said as his consciousness left him upon putting the mask on with a ghastly voice.
