《Lyca: Rise of Asura》Prologue Part 2

He watched from a far away mountain south of the battle. A black dragon descending from the skies and he could now feel an immense amount of power coming from the female warrior. This man sat cross legged on the rocky mountain top as he observed the battle by feeling the flow of the energy as they moved throughout the air. Both hands resting on his knees. His mid-length spiked white hair shuffled in the cold wind. He wore no upper body garment just a single long white pants with the words GOKAGE painted red going down on both sides. Decorated with purple and yellow petals going down on both sides. He wore a beaded chain with the symbols of each element painted in its respectful color. But these were no ordinary sized beads, each bead was about 5 inches in diameter. -Such power I can no longer resist the urge to see for myself who this person is I must go.- He thought with wonder as he have never felt such power before.
A power capable of match his, Zachael the Dragon Emperor, King of Flames. He had spent his entire life training and fighting any who would challenge him. Reaching the pinnacle of his strength in his continent and conquering it, he decided to travel the world and conquer as much as he can. However this was boring and lack amusement instead he placed his focus on the dragon lands.
Dragons one of the few beast known to have power level of sage status and above. Also said to be the only ones to exceed the legendary level. -They could prove to be entertaining.- was his thoughts as he traveled the seas to their homeland. A journey not many sane man would take. But he was no ordinary man. Mastering all elements along with their sub elements at the age 20 was quite a feat. Becoming a grand-sage at 25 and taking over the throne a half after defeating the kings army single handedly.
It took him 10 years to conquer the dragons. He was now able to summon any dragons he defeated which was almost all of them. Only a few he did not find or did not find interesting so he did not duel with them. The stronger dragons sometimes leave the continent looking for their own place to rule over. Now the power in front of him felt familiar. After almost 10 years it appeared the first heiki he felt after arriving on one of the isles in the continent. A island so cold he had to summon the power of his spirit to keep warm.
He traveled the island for searching the power felt on arrival. As searched he realized that there was no other being on the island except for what he felt and him. It was he came upon a cave hidden in the mountains and entered it. There he saw it, a beautiful black dragon lying asleep on the icy plains. It's wings pressed against its body. A single white gem in the center of its forehead. He called for the creature to wake and to battle him. He was defeated with single blast of heiki. He had no choice but to leave until he achieved more power. On his eighth year he had peak the legendary status of constant battles with these dragons and taming the fire elemental dragon found on island to its own as well. Dwelling in lava, a dragon made just for him. He was a able to defeat and capture this dragon in his seventh year. When he back to search for the ice dragon it was no longer there. He lingered around the island and trained himself in the cold for the next 2 years, however the Dragon did not return he decided to leave and go back to his home.

Now he can feel that same power again. A beast he had wanted from the moment he laid eyes upon it.
----------------
"We don't a chance against that thing, my king" fear could be heard in the lord's voice as be spoke, "we must leave now!"
What stood before them they could only comprehend as a demon. The heiki of lady Liana as grown exponentially. Standing their in fear of their lives as the lady's words wrong through their minds -" ...leave now and leave with your life. Fight and this time I won't be so merciful."-
Now realising the difference in power between them, a blademaster and elemental warrior. A blademaster someone with complete control over the spirit within a spirit blade and able to control their heiki freely. Elemental warrior, someone who's has mastered heiki and freely manipulate all forms of heiki. Then beneath them began to froze and as it froze it the ice began to freeze their armor where they stood. A look of horror appeared on their face realising that they would freeze to death. They began pleading for their lives, but their plea fell on deaf ears. Liana continued her slow stride towards them leaving small spikes of ice where she stepped. Her eyes cold and emotionless, her sword held to her side, the thin surrounded by a flow of mist. Then she stopped. There was someone standing behind the king and his arch knight.
He walked casually, hands resting on his hips, head leant backwards looking up at something only he could see, unaffected by the cold of her Ice spirit and her dragon. Her eyes narrowed as her focused shift the this figure who began to walk forward. Each step he took melted to the snow into an evaporating mist. -Who is this person.- Was her thoughts, someone that could bear her Ice Field was something she has never come acrossed. She watched as the mist escaped from the ground dissolved in the air. His white hair ever flowing the wind, a body filled with scars from countless battles she assumed. The sword sheathed at his side gave off a mysterious aura - A spirit blade? Is he a blademaster? -
“Oye!” he had a mysterious smile on his face as he spoke. There was something it that caused Liana to tense up and immediately took a defensive stance. This caused him to smile even more. “Hmm...Why so tense?” he teased. He was now standing in between the two who had challenged her. They looked up at him with both fear and confusion. “Help us and and all your wishes shall be granted oh great warrior!” the king managed to force out his words. Zachael looked down at the king and then the knight before speaking “Pests.” with a scornful look. Before either of them could react the dragon emperor had already separated there heads from their body. Blood sprayed through the air and their bodies fell limp to the ground. The red blood ever so vibrant against white snow and ice. “I’ve heard much about you my Lady. I have traveled the 7 continents just to fight with. Please don't disappoint.”
“Who are you?”
“I am just a man looking for someone to entertain me. Me legend reaches even my domain, and i seek to test that power they speak. I see you have the ice dragon in your possession, a beast i have failed to defeat the first time i came across it and you have. This alone entices me. I shall not hold back.” he then released a surge of energy mixed his base heiki. Liana watched the flame based aura surrounded him and ate away at her ice. She could the intensity of his power from where she stood. Indeed he was a blademaster, looking in his eyes they were green and had specks of red going around in a circular motion. He withdrew his sword and her dragon Climica gave out a thunderous roar. This cause Zachael to smile before speaking. “Summoning of dragons Emperors Call.” upon doing so the sky distorted and a portal was formed and from this portal a multitude of wyverns appeared.

“Kill them all, Climica!”
With the command issued Climica took the skies she was twice the size of the wyver that challenged her and she stook them apart mercilessly. Ripping their heads, wings and limbs from their body, freezing some with her ice breath which caused the to fall to the ground and crumble to pieces. At the same time her dragon to the sky Liana charged her new opponent and slashed at him with her sword. He dodged but she followed with vertical slash and he dodged again, she followed with multiple attacks he managed to dodge for a while before having to block and push back Liana and going on the offensive. Liana could only block, each time their blades connected with each other a shock wave was released, blowing away the pieces of the wyverns that fell from the sky. Liana retreated a few feet from Zachael a released one of her attacks, “Icicle Storm” and around her ice spears about 3 feet long began to form. As soon as they formed completely she sent them forward at incredible speed a Zachael. She was able to fire off over a 200 spears in less than 1 minute leaving a cloud of mist where he stood.
The ground around Liana suddenly rose up and clasped itself together to crush her in the middle. However she was able to put a barrier before being crushed. Then ground then shot her into the to her surprise. Regaining her focus just in time to see the multiple boulders coming at her “Tempest Wind!” she yell as she swung her hands through the air and razor sharp wind sliced the boulders in multiple pieces that flew passed. The boulders then stopped mid-air and turned into sand that wrapped around, again she managed to conjure a barrier before being crushed. With a flick of his the sand around Liana pulled her to ground with incredible force it left a crater where it hit the ground, he held out his left hand and started to move his fingers. The ground separated as giant roots burst forth attacking Liana. -So he can use multiple elements at his will, even sub elements, but I sense his base fire, it has to be how else can he withstand my ice field.- Liana was dodging and slicing the roots that came at her, whenever she tried to get close more roots wood form pushing her back. - In that case- “Ice Wilderness!” The ground instantly froze over and wall of mist was formed concealing her.
Zachael narrowed his eyes -What is she playing at. Hmm? What's this I feel a chill? Hmmm.. - Zachael looked around and use his abilities to see his surroundings, by doing so he saw that Liana had reduce the distance of the ice field to a smaller surrounding. - I see the ice field is released when she summons her spirit from her blade. This explains why her dragon appeared upon her entering the Awakened form.- While thinking he used his ability to increase the temperature to get rid of the mist and chill he was feeling. He looked to sky and could no longer see the sky monsters fighting but hear the roar of the ice dragon and the cry of his wyverns. -The dragon sensing the change in its master uses its own ability to open a portal and summon itself to protect her. Incredible, what connection they have. How long has she been its master for this to occur. It has to be before i even met it. But then hadnt it returned to the island.- His thoughts were interrupted and he opened his eyes wide with disbelief and at same time joy. What he was Liana preparing a large energy blast which appeared white with a blue hue around it. - I see now you used your ability to create a new home for him to keep him close and avoid anyone trying to capture it. You probably had it from it was a baby or it was passed down to you from generation to generation.
Zachael was right Climica had been in their family for over a hundred years. She was still a young dragon but an extremely rare dragon. The ice dragons are said to be of mythical status which is why he waited two years for it to returned. To have it by his side along with the fire dragon would have made him impossible to beat, not that anyone could defeat him.
The moment he saw Liana charging her blast with her attack was the moment she released it and he smiled blissfully “Roar, King of Flames Nerion.” He poke to the spirit of his and the moment he spoke the ground around for about 4 meters became magma and he was surrounded by a barrier. Liana’s attack met the barrier head on and there was an enormous explosion that expand about 100 meters due to the blast radius being contained by her will. “Come forth dragon of flames Kimori.”
The sky became a fire red and everything went silent. All the wyverns flew back to the portal they once came as if sensing that some terrible was about to happen. The black dragon gave off low growl forming snowflakes around itself, that explodes on contact, and prepared for what was to come. Then it came through the portal. A body that seemed to be made of red crystals but had no reflection to it. Eyes black as night with a single red line that locked on its master, razor sharp fangs and claw, it had the same size of the ice dragon. A white crystal with a raging flame going about in the inside in the middle of its forehead. The mythical flaming dragon.
- Its him.- Lians eyes fluttered with realization of who she was fighting. - The dragon Emperor Zachael. This is no time for to hold back.- She immediately took a defensive stance and Zachael’s eyes widened with excitement but not because she took a defensive stance it was what she did next. Around Liana had a ring of lightning going around followed by fire, wind and earth.
