章節 10: The Battle of Primordial Dragons
Ragnathor's and Greyskim's battle was put on hold after each of them tried regaining their strength by resting a bit. And it seems that the wyverns also used a bit of their power so often that they started breathing heavily.
As the sun went down and the moon rose, silence occurred as they kept on breathing heavily.
"What's the matter, Greyskim? It seems you're out of mana. Just surrender, and I'll spare your life." said Ragnathor, who still breathed heavily amidst all the arrogance he had shown.
"Shut up, Ragnathor. You're in the same state as me." Greyskim replied, glancing at his surroundings as the wyverns halted their attacks on him.
In spite of the arrogance that Ragnathor showed, he, who was approaching his limits, had a forced smile on his face. But deep down, he knew for himself that a battle against Greyskim would be overwhelming.
After a glimpse of silence occurred, Greyskim and Ragnathor began rushing towards each other. With their mana energies depleted, they were forced to use their raw strengths and face each other in a classic way.
Two dragons fighting like martial artists was an astonishing scene to witness. It looked very weird since their movements were a bit funny due to their dragon bodies. But with each punch they struck, an overwhelming impact was created. The sounds of their bodies getting hit with each punch they'd delivered were like mortars being fired.
It made me realize that their strength, even without using magic, was still unfathomable for me to handle.
With each strike they made, their bodies vibrated and made some metallic sounds, as if clusters of steel were being bombed.
Greyskim wore a drought-like expression as he fought against Ragnathor, who somehow looked lively.
Well, it was already considered since Greyskim showed up completely wounded before fighting Ragnathor and the wyverns.
But still, Greyskim's work is commendable. His perseverance is truly outstanding; holding up against a Primordial Dragon with severe wounds to begin with was an unbelievable feat to do.
But that made me think: Who did he fight before showing up here? Was it also a Primordial Dragon like Teranium and Ragnathor?" I wondered while watching their fight from afar.
Greyskim began evading Ragnathor's punches as their confrontation prolonged, messing up Ragnathor's attack patterns completely. He began feeling anxious as he could not hit Greyskim with each punch he tried to deliver.
Greyskim's movements became more agile and appropriate than the performance he had shown earlier, which was kind of a reckless way to fight.
A barbaric fighting style, should I say? Well, now that his fighting style changed, he began taking advantage, and as for Ragnathor, who was completely baffled by the sudden turns of their battle, he became more fierce and aggressive, unable to hit Greyskim, somehow damaged his pride.
But as time went on, Greyskim gained the upper hand and dealt a lot of punches to Ragnathor, who was somewhat distracted.
Just as Greyskim was about to strike his final punch, the wyverns began shooting solar blasts towards Greyskim, who was completely unaware of their interruption. The solar blasts that were cast together formed a large one and struck Greyskim from his back, making him falter a bit and fall downward, while Ragnathor smirked and delivered a downward punch to push Greyskim to fall.
After Greyskim got hit, he continuously fell, unable to fly above due to the pressure of Ragnathor's downward punch.
And as he was falling, another round of solar blasts were heading his way, while Ragnathor took his chance and released a dragon blast towards Greyskim, who was unable to regain his balance.
Both attacks from Ragnathor and the wyverns completely struck the undefended Greyskim down as he bashfully fell to the ninth island and caused a huge tremor that somehow escalated through the eighth island, even with the chained rocks being unconnected due to their change of levitation during nighttime.
"Haha! You have fallen; admit your loss, Greyskim!" Ragnathor said arrogantly, even with his body being wrecked to the point that his scales started deforming.
Teranium floated silently, observing everything from a certain distance, while the wyverns were heavily breathing. It seemed that they overused their mana energy and are now having difficulties flying.
"Well, if they were humans, I'm sure they would have fainted by now. But thanks to their superior genes as wyverns, I'm sure they could still hold themselves together even if they overused their mana." I mumbled, concluding the difference between them and me.
But still, just looking at them helplessly made me feel inferior. Back then, when I was still in the military, I never felt this small. Now that I'm in a different world, I should refrain myself from comparing both worlds since this world is much more of a hell than earth.
"Take your time, Greyskim. Haha! I'm sure you're out of breath by now! I commend you for your persistence in wanting to beat me, but in your dreams! Haha!" Ragnathor spouted nonsensical words despite the help from the wyverns he had gotten.
I'm sure if the wyverns had not interfered at that time, the outcome would have been different.
Just as the smoke dispersed, Greyskim was seen standing. Despite the damage he took, he was still able to fly back into the air and act like it didn't hurt.
"Such a monster." I mumbled, staring at Greyskim's dignified posture while he flew back in the sky and confronted Ragnathor.
"What nonsense are you spouting, Ragnathor? I would never lose to you, even if it costs me my life!" said Greyskim, who immediately engaged, attempting to fight Ragnathor in close combat.
Just as Greyskim planned, Ragnathor fell for it and also rushed towards Greyskim, aware that he did not stand a chance against him in a close combat fight.
Once again, the two began fighting in a more vulgar way, filled with overwhelming strength and determination to crush each other. Their battle was astonishing to witness, and yet Teranium still held his place, watching the two fight from a certain distance with a serious expression on his face.
While I, who watched their battle from the eighth island, somehow was proposed by the system.
[Notice: A skill called "Instant Incinerate" can be used.]
After feeling a mixture of emotions, the system itself might have felt my deep intentions of wanting to help Greyskim and professed a suitable way of helping him in my current status. But of course, there was an equivalent value for the skill that the system proposed to me.
[Skill: Instant Incinerate]
[Can instantly incinerate any living/celestial being without much effort. It can only be used in desperate situations, for it requires a dangerous compensation for its use.]
[After the skill "Instant Incinerate" is used, five years of the caster's life span will be reduced.]
An overpowered skill with a cost of a five-year life span was surely no doubt a fair trade if it could really kill a Primordial Dragon." I pondered, wondering if taking the risk was truly the right thing to do.
And so on. I continued to wonder if helping Greyskim in exchange for my five-year life span was worth it or not.
But just as I glanced above the sky, I saw something crazy. A huge hole was carved on Greyskim's chest, while one of his arms and wings were torn off, and Ragnathor was completely the same.
It was too sudden; I didn't even see what happened after I got distracted by the system for a short amount of time. And now, both Ragnathor and Greyskim were falling and seemed lifeless.
But the direction they were falling was on the eighth island, completely close to my location.
Just as they crashed to the ground, the entire island shook, causing me to stumble on the floor.
And I raised my head, only to see Teranium smirking after taking a deep breath.
"He seems to be the cause of why both Ragnathor and Greyskim have been severely wounded." I uttered, completely guessing that this was his motive all along.
"To eliminate the two primordial dragons at the same time."
Teranium laughed like a psychopath after seeing that Ragnathor and his older brother, Greyskim, had fallen with their body parts torn off.
"Wonderful! Hahahaha!" He continued laughing, leaving a grin in his face as he looked down on the two fallen dragons.
