《HERO CHRONICLES:》Chapter 45: [ Present ]

Advertisement

Roughly the size of a basketball, these electric spheres continuously emitted electricity. Moving my hand, the small spheres also followed. Waving my hands as if I was a conductor in an orchestra, I throw them towards the huge dragon.

Not one but all five at the same time.

"Hm....what clever little tricks!"

The five [ Thunder Spheres ] released electrical current as they violently crashed into the dragon's huge body.

"This thunder and lightning buzzing around is really annoying!"

Regress grumbled with displeasure as she dodged three [ Thunder Spheres ] by making them crush together or attacking it with fire balls.

However, two [ Thunder Sphere ] managed to hit her and made her step back a few steps.

Unfortunately, she clearly didn't suffer any injuries. Just how tough and sturdy is her body! Mou!!!

Normally, being struck by lightning would cause you a severe burns and pain. It might also lead you to death if not treated quickly but this annoying body of dragons is just too much! There was no damage at all!

"Young man! Magic attacks like that has no effect to us dragons you know! We have innate abilities such as [ Magic Resistance ] and [ All-Elemental Resistance ] so you better stop such pointless attacks. It will just tire you out~"

"Tsk-! That is a really unfair cheat skill!"

"Hahaha I don't want to hear that especially from someone like you! What's with that body? You're power should not be this strong when we first met and in an instant, a power from nowhere suddenly surged up....what's with that!?"

"Well, it's a trade secret~ jeez, I guess I don't have any choice but to fight head on... [ Mana Channeling ], [ Body Strengthening ]!"

A new skill I thought up by using [ Mana Channeling ]. By controlling my mana, it will cover my whole body, muscles, bones and tissues to strengthen it. Although I can only use it only for short time because of how massive the mana it consume, for now this should be alright.

My power explosively surged up as my whole body was covered with a torrent shining golden color.

"Haaaaaaa!!!"

Holding the [ Rune Demonic Blade ] with both hands, I charged towards Regress. When my distance towards here is down to two meters, I leapt into the air. Her arm suddenly slashed towards me so I activated [ Flash Movement ].

[ Flash Movement ] is a degrade version of the skill [ Teleportation ] because it can only teleport for a short distance however this skill is more suited in close combat because of its versatile functions.

After activating the skill, I found myself at the right side of the dragon. Without hesitation, my sword arcing towards the dragon as my [ Rune Demonic Blade ] chopped onto its neck.

BANG!

"Graaaaa!!!"

Blood gushed out on its wound as I finally managed to cut down its very hard skin. With an angry roar, flames suddenly appeared and circle onto her body. 'Graaaar!!!' The flames moved and latched itself onto Regress's wrists and her back was burning wildly.

"Be honored young man! This is a secret technique past by our fire dragon's lineage, [ Flame Coat ]!"

Regress body somewhat change. Her body right now had a glossy crimson colored sheen as if it was made from rubies. Her power right now is different from of that before as her aura were filling the air with a sinister sensation.

With a slight sway of her head, she disappeared. In just a second, she appeared in front of me and raised her claws heavily striking my body

BAM!

Although it's quite fortunate that I managed to block its attack with my sword, I was still pushed back by more than 10 meters away. Blood flow in the corner of my lips but I still lift my battered body up from the ground and swung my sword which glowed resplendently as if it was responding with my unwavering will.

Using [ Flash Movement ] I slashed the exposed abdomen by using my sword skill [Way of the Dragon God, First form: Swallow Beheading Mountain ].

"Gaaaaa-!!!"

Regress flew back from the strike.

"Damn it! What's with me being unfair?! Aren't you doing the same? Instant power up that even BOSS battle in light novels can't be compared!"

'Graaaaaa!!!' Followed by the sinister roar was crimson flames that radiated towards the sky, and bullets of crimson flames like fireballs hit the ground.

Clicking my teeth in displeasure, I held my sword tightly as I put my all in cutting the annoying fireballs.

The burning flames dominated the sky and an enormous dragon clad in crimson flames appeared. Her wings produced deafening sound as it flapped.

"Damn! Don't you think flying is a little bit unfair if you are fighting a very cute rabbit that can't fly!?"

I complained. I crouched and lowered my sword.

"[ Flash Movement ]"

I slowly lowered my body and grab the [ Rune Demonic Blade ] tightly.

Although I really don't want to use this technique because I don't want to let master know that I know it.

"Secret Technique of the Dragon God: Heavenly Dragon First Speed!"

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath and concentrate.

This is a secret technique I accidentally saw when I was cleaning master's storage room. It was one of the secret technique recorded in the ancient looking tattered book. Required the mastery of using 'qi' and needs a very high concentration. When I gave it to master after reading it, he said that it is one of the lost technique of his ancestor that even he can't reciprocate.

So I secretly stole-I mean borrow the book and learn it. It took me a full year just to successfully use the first part which is the [ Heavenly Dragon First Speed ]

Controlling the 'qi' or maybe mana in this sense and put it all in my arms, I held the black sword and pulled it out in Godspeed while taking a step forward.

An enormous amount of light overflowed together with the slash as it swallowed the huge body of the dragon.

The path of the sword was a beautiful sky blue as it tears through the meat smoothly without any resistance, severing the dragon's arms.

"Gaaaaaaaaaa-!!!"

The enraged dragon whose arm was cut rotated her body and swung down her tail to strike me.

"Wha-!"

As the heavy strike of the tail swung down on me, I instantly poised the black sword to block it. A tremendous impact of the blow hit my arms that support the sword and it made me spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Dammit! If only my sword is a katana, then it would have made caused a great deal of damage!" I cursed.

The secret skill would do best when using a katana because of its thin body. [ Heavenly Dragon First Speed ] is like an Iai sword draw. It requires speed that can't be distinguished by a naked eyes.

Although I can't perform a silent drawing technique in the real world and can only draw fast enough with a little sound, in this new world I have a confidence that I can master those secret techniques!

"No time to rest!"

Regress remaining claws and my black sword clashed numerous times, creating sparks in the air. After a few minutes of sword clashing, I clenched my left fist and poured tremendous mana in it and punched her exposed abdomen. Regress battered body was blown away by the impact as it's roared seemed to reach the heavens.

"Huff, Man, I didn't think I'll be struggling right now! Huff"

A speed that almost reach the speed of sound, intense flame machine gun attacks, and her steel like glass scales......it was very clear that Regress just had a massive power up.

Her power from before seems like a child's strength compared to her current power!

"Gaha-! To think that you can still matched this king in power! Are you really human? Gaha!"

As the smoke coming from dusts and boiling magma began to disappear, the huge battered body of the fire dragon Regress slowly appeared in front of me. It's former glossy sheen like glass scales were now past compared to the current. Cracks formed and blood ooze out form every part of her body. Her severed limb was like a flowing river as her blood continuous to flow.

"Although I really want to refrain from hurting a beautiful maiden like you, However for the sake of giving you the most unforgettable fight you have never experience I tried to give my all for the sake of defeating you. I must apologize"

"No, It's fine. I too want to thank you for this fight is indeed one of the best fights I have. I don't have any regrets now..........Although can I ask you a question?"

"Yes you can. What is it?"

"You're calling me beautiful for quite a while now. Can't you see I'm a dragon, in a human's perspective I should have the appearance of a terrible monster ... before our last fight, I really want to know"

"Hahahaha True it seems, but I have made my own principle. After coming in this world I decided that every woman I will meet, I will treat them with utmost respect for they; regarding their race, is really without doubt beautiful"

"Hahahahahaha I really don't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing those words!"

Answer: Master forgive my rudeness but I too want to express my deep admiration to you. I've never seen a playboy like yourself in this whole life of mine! 'As long as it's a girl is fine' belief is nothing but a pervert would say.

"Arche.....don't you know that you're really hurting me now. Huhuhu It's not like that, I only love Flora, that's all!"

....... ........

"I'm quite satisfied with that answer. So I too shall put all my power in this final battle!"

"All right! Let's finish this!!!"

"Haaaaaaaaaa!!!"

"Groooooaaaaarrr!!!"

Once again, our weapons clashed. My sword and her claw. Violent sparks appeared as steel meets steel.

Not allowing any form of rest, I continuously dealt powerful blows with my blade. We are evenly matched, as my fast slashes were all intercepted by her claw and flaming tail. However, as time pass by, our difference finally showed up. The graveness of her wounds are more fatal than mine making her movements dull slowed.

Compared to me which surpass her in superior skills, strong physique that were formed by rigorous training, senses that greatly surpassing the norms, speed, Godlike reflexes that goes beyond the human limits and the skill [ Divine Vision ] that gives me dynamic vision that surpasses common sense as if it allowed me to see rifle bullets if I concentrate, Regress can't possibly defeat me.

After a while of confrontation, Regress move came to halt in second however this mere second is what you can call an opportunity.

Gripping the [ Rune Demonic blade ] as well as pushing the limits of my [ Body Strengthening ] skill, I initiated my final attack.

"[ Way of the Dragon God: Fifth Form, Mighty Strike of the Dragon God ]"

My own original skill. Combining all the skills I've used this skill became a combo attack skill. Without hesitation, I surged forth and jump upwards. My blacki sword flickered with crimson sky blue color.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Using a combo attack skill, I thrust the black sword, and then an upwards slash, right sweep, round house kick and finally a straight hack. It was a very fast attack skill that deal five times strike in just 3 seconds.

Somewhat, no, Regress certainly began to give out a weeping groan. Her scales cracked all over the place and a large amount of blood dripped from her mouth.

Regress head lowered and her body, after a moment of stillness, fell down the ground. With her head drooped, blood was flowing from her mouth as she growl weakly.

"Ga-ha-! This is my loss...Guhu! Young man, no Hein is it. You are without a doubt powerful. I'm really thankful that you are my...guhu!...last opponent...although as a loser, I should give you something in return of defeating me...that is our tradition...guhu! Sadly, I don't have anything I can give you..guhu!"

"No, it's fine...I can also understand that you can't really leave this place so I can't ask for you to follow me...the fight just now, is more than enough...."

"No...wait...Although I can't give you anything in return...my heart...after my death please take it... it should've been the same as my real heart as long as we are inside this place."

"Ah no, well, I can understand it but in my heart there is only Flora so....that is..."

Hearing such confession after a bloody battle, my heart moved as I became flustered.

"Silly...what are you misunderstanding...what I mean is after you kill me, you can eat my heart....that's all I can give you."

"EH?....wait, wait, wait what do you mean eat your heart!? I can't possibly do such a thing!"

"No..please take it...although eating a dragon heart doesn't give you some power but if it's my heart then you can...I am from the royal family of the fire dragon so eating...guhu! My heart will definitely give you some benefits!"

"Hey, hey is that really okay for you to say that to me? I might hunt all your kind you know!"

"Hahaha...guhu! I trust you that you won't do such a thing. Just by looking at your companions I know that you treasure them a lot so I believe that you won't do it even if they are monsters like us...I just want you to promise me, please protect my kind...please protect my daughters and tell them I love them...guhu!"

"Jeez! Fine, fine! I'll do it! I'll just do it, right!?"

"Hehehe...thank you..."

'Jeez how can she believe someone who will kill her? But..."

I look at her in the eyes. I gripped the black sword yet it couldn't hide the trembling sensation I felt. Then I noticed, Her dragon eyes look at me with shock expression.

"....A-are you crying for me?"

"Eh?" Is the only thing I could muster. I raised my left hand and touch my face, certainly its there. A moist liquid was falling from my eyes.......this is..........tears? Why?

"You're really a very kind human...."

No, no Why am I crying? That couldn't be?!

"Although it's my selfishness, please kill me. I don't want to stay in this place any longer."

Nodding my head, I raised my sword.

Then suddenly the ring in my hand suddenly shined brighter.
