《The Games That Bind Us》Chapter 31 - Endless Battle

Kieran's Point Of View
John came up with the plan to leave all the fighting to him since he is a Dragon Slayer, however I have been waiting for a good fight for a long time and the moment such a chance comes up you want me to throw it away? I turned down his offer before he even made it, I am fighting these dragons, they fight with raw strength in a head to head battle, me to, they are called invincible which only special people can fight. me to. I see no reason why I cant see which monster is more monstrous right? I step up to the arena and I am up against a Divine Dragon according to John. oh well, I never liked the divines anyway. "3...2...1...go" the Referee said and the dragon charged at me and punched my head as hard as he could, my head exploded into meat paste and he looked worried. I reformed my head and looked back at him. "thank you sir, may I have another" I said with a grin and they we started punching each other, a man's fight, no tricks to get me out the ring, full on fighting each other with monstrous strength to see who is STRONGER! I punched him in the head with all my strength and send him flying and he landed on the ground face down, he got up and charged at me attacking me faster and faster, harder and harder, however it was not enough, more, I WANT MORE. I kicked him flying and punched him in the gut making him fall to the ground slightly, he was back up immediately and back for more, I was also after more as our fists collided causing us both to be sent back, he was unable to hold his ground and fell onto his back in shock "Is that all you got DRAGON?" I said for all to hear and he looked at me shocked like it was not obvious.
"No, THIS IS" he said while transforming into a huge golden form with a white underbelly. he was a very big dragon. I then Looked at him with my head tilted.
"You don't look that different, still only a face a mother could love" I said and to this he crushed me under his foot while also crushing the ground beneath me. I reformed and then used Burst Mode to kick the dragon into the air and then jumped onto its noes, his eyes looked at me in shock as I then Punched in between his eyes and I felt a crack come from his skull breaking under my hand sending him into the ground however before he could reach the ground I landed multiple hits across his oversized body with a bone breaking here and there, I then turned off burst mode and landed on the ground next to his crater. he then started glowing in a golden aura that made him feel stronger then before, is he now going to take me seriously? about time. "Is this all you got? I expected more from a Divine Dragon" I said while looking at him with eyes ready for a true battle and his eyes repaid my in kind.
"You have not seen ANYTHING yet" The dragon said with a roar as it shrank down getting smaller and smaller, the power was unchanged, no, it was being compacted into a much smaller space, he was outputting much more efficiently and with a lot more power for a smaller surface area, it was now the hight of an overgrown dog maybe a horse. It then vanished and appeared behind me while slashing at me causing my to bleed out in a fountain, I pulled it together however he attacked before it was fully healed and kept slicing me into dust. that one actually hurt. I reformed and he kept slashing me apart and I just reformed faster to counter it. I started getting some hits in, I activated Burst Mode and I still hardly was able to deal with this new form of his, John did not warn me about it, maybe he is special? interesting I will get some fun from this dragon yet, after trading a few more blows I start hitting harder and faster then before using more and more of my power behind each and every hit however it was not getting me anywhere fast and yet I did not care, he tanked the damage and made the purfect punching bag. I really needed this, however he kept on drawing out more power, I was starting to do less and less until I punched him and he did not even move, I realised he was now at a much higher level then before so I powered up and I punched the dragon flying back and it landed on the ground, I then Jumped back and got ready to use my strongest ability.

"Neither have you dragon, neither have you" I said while my aura glows bright white. a ball appearers in the air of opaque white aura. I then shoot every different type of Basic Magic Bolt into the ball and its size increases to cover the sky blocking out the sun leaving the only light source that white ball of pure energy. "Dragon, It has been fun however Dragon Slayers are not the only ones who can kill dragons, watch as you witness the greatest ability in my arsenal and try not to disappoint me, SUPER BURST" I said while the ball of energy projected small string sized energy tubes towards me, they contacted to multiple points of my body and started flowing a huge amount of energy into every part of my body, the power was incredible, everything stopped as I powered up enough force that it would kill a normal person.... I am not a normal person. the energy ball wrapped its self around me and my energy grew, it shrank into my very soul and I was surrounded in a pure white aura that's size was 3 times bigger then any other aura. my strength was at its highest.
"Dragon, now let us fight, and I will show you just who is the greater monster" I said while dashing over to him and Kicking him so hard he did a few back flips and rolled across the ground, the air parted around me and the ground shook with each step. I then dashed at him again and again, releasing more energy with each hit, pushing him further and further back, he looked shocked with my new power, unable to see how a non dragon slayer could do this, I threw a barrage of punches causing him a lot of damage until I hit his head into the ground. it looks like he had enough and he jumped up and clawed me sending a wave of air that sliced things behind me making 3 dragon shaped claw marks scratch deep into the ground behind me. I felt that one more then any other, I retaliated by kicking him in his side resulting in him holding his ground however the ground behind him cracked apart and was thrown into the wind as his internal organs rumbled in agony. we both had a huge smile on our face, he then went to claw at me however I threw a punch at his claw creating a shock wave go through the air and damaging me exponentially while shattering his middle claw and every bone in my hand. a roar of power was felt as out energies exploded throughout the area. the people watching from the other Academies were just standing there with their mouths wide open. I was being torn apart even with Super Burst active and it was exhausting and he was starting to bleed from damage as well, Loving every moment of it, I charged another attack that I assumed would finish it.
"Super Burst Breaker" I said while gathering all the Super Burst energy into my left hand, it caused light to bend around it, it started sucking in mass closer to it, I smiled and dashed at the dragon who looked scared. I stood in front of him and pulled my fist back causing the air to freeze and causing the rocks around me to be lifted into the air pulling chunks of dirt and rock from the ground, I then felt a pressure signalling it was time, I then pushed my fist forward making the wind explode out in every direction away from me and ripping apart everything in its path, the dragon was being cut and hit and I had not even launched it yet, he was scared from my attack, legs shaking and unmoving, his eyes wide from shock and as soon as my arm as fully extended all the energy in my hand was sent forward in a powerful beam, blinding the sight of everyone and all we could hear was the Dragon roar in pain from the destructive force of my attack. when the light died down the destructive beam had moved in a straight line for as far as the eye could see and in that line of destruction was a dragon. that dragon was standing there coughing up blood while beaten and bruised. I was doing the same, coughing up a lung or two standing there, I did not picture the dragon surviving that, the resistance of a dragon is high as there pressure weakens people around them and with their already high abilities they are near invincible, however Dragon Slayers weaken them, I cant become a dragon slayer however I just thought that Super Burst Breaker would be enough, I could never picture this. the dragon walked towards me slowly while dragging its left rear leg across the ground creating a blood trail across the dirt, when he reached me he slashed me across the chest. it took me a while but I regenerated. my Mana was Low. and I was exhausted. the Dragon kept slashing me and slashing me, after time I was not able to heal the wound fully, I was returning each and every slash with my own punches which caused him so also litter the ground with blood. the dragon then jumped back and breathed in. and then breathed out a beam of fire burning me into dust however I slowly reformed.

"You*pant* Damn Monster *pant* you cant *pant* *Pant* heal forever *pant*" the dragon said while exhausted and walking back over to me slowly to start slashing me again with whatever hopes it has of driving me unconscious
"Of course *pant* I can, I have so far *Pant* why should I stop now*pant*" I said also exhausted and walking over to the dragon to start punching him in the face. when I reached him I went to punch him however he clawed my arm off and then my head off. I regenerated and kicked him in the head and then grabbed his tail and threw him over my head and crashing down into the ground, he used his wings to break his fall and then used his tail like a whip shattering my ribs and causing internal bleeding. I coughed up some blood however I returned it with a kick to his side making him roll across the ground, he got back up and breathed in again, I knew what was coming I just did not have the strength to avoid it. he incinerated me into dust and I reformed, mostly, my internal organs were mush. and moving was becoming hard. I clenched my fist and punched town on top of his head causing his face to be planted into the ground. he got up and smiled, he realised I was at my limit.
"I have to admit *pant* *pant* you were one seriously strong monster" He said before slashing me in half. I had lost, I no longer had the strength to heal any more, I had lost. and that was one hell of a fight. I then fell unconscious. signalling to the referee that it was John's turn. funny how I can beat John however he can beat warriors I cant beat. this is one strange world.
John's Point Of View
Kieren... you monster.... what the hell? you did so much damage to a Divine Dragon without being a Dragon Slayer. I must remember not to get on your bad side. also I think Conner will be satisfied with your performance. I look around to see everyone in shock at the performance that was just shown. even the other dragons from the Dust Academy. slowly there begins a few claps before everyone starts clapping at the monstrous performance. even I have to admit that was one epic fight, Kieran, when I become strong enough I will fight you and see how would do... I walk over to the Arena and the Judge eyes me before Michael tells him that they are skipping a few fighters and moving straight to me. the referee nods and then starts the count down, I am now fighting a wounded Divine Dragon. thank you Kieran, you made this one easy on me, your work as not in vain.
[Aura: Dragon Slayer]
"3...2...1...go" and on go I walk over and look at him, he atempts to claw me but it did nothing, he continues a few times before I plant my hand on his head and use Dragon Palm, the Divine dragon only had 4 HP left and was clutching at straws. the energy built up tore through him and exploded out the other side. and that was the first fight, I look at the other 4 fighters with high hopes.
[Elemental Wood Dragon]
[Level 130,004]
[Quin]
A wood dragon, I could handle that with fire magic I suppose...
[Divine Dragon]
[Level 129,701]
[Feron]
another Divine Dragon? maybe I will have to draw my blade for that one.
[Elemental Ground Dragon]
[Level 129,807]
[Teonus]
I have not fought that type before so I wonder what its abilities are?
[Ancient Dragon]
[Level 132,841]
[Yorlan]
This was probably not going to be to difficult since it is one on one, however a trained dragon is not what I have faced before, we will have to see if I can win or not, I may have to draw my blade if things get to bad however that is a last resort, things may go bad if I draw it. with that said their next fighter is the Ancient Dragon Yourlan. this may be fun.
"Referee, start the count down" I said while looking at this dragon, something about him was different then wild dragons but I cant put my finger on it, not power, not transformations... hmm... it was something that wild dragons don't tend to have. a fighting spirit?

The Edgars
A serial killer is wreaking havoc in a small European village, and Charles Edgar believes his estranged brother to be the culprit. But little does he know that a much darker truth lies behind the bloodshed; one that will bring betrayal and destruction to the entire Edgar lineage. (This is a one-act play. A (beat) indicates a pause in the dialogue.) Also, please feel free to rip this story apart in the reviews (if you're so inclined). I really want to improve as a writer, so any criticisms are more than welcomed.

Binary of Life and Death
Monsters, gold, chaos, glory, adventure, what more could attract two of the greatest players of all time to Sugarea, the most popular MMORPG of its time. But everyone makes errors, and unfortunate for these two brilliant players, they have made the grave mistake of not actually sleeping like normal humans and missed out on the very moment the new Dark Legion update would take effect. Or did they? They wake in what seems familiar yet not, but they soon realize their predicament. They are inside their game avatar's bodies! A half-Demon and a Dragonoid are now struggling with more than just power, these two men have to find their new purpose and calling in a completely different world. Will they concur it like ordinary land or will they enlighten the planet into equality? Do figures pull strings in the dark or is everything open to the public eye? Nothing is certain except the unknown, and nothing is ever as it seems... This is an Isekai story, as such, some parts may sound either cliché or similar to others, but I assure you, I tried to prevent that. To make it known, I took quite a lot of inspiration from the light novel/anime Overlord, but that doesn't mean it's a direct rip-off of it. You'll find there to be quite the amount of differences. Just a little heads up as well, you should expect irregular uploads, as it takes me a long time to write each chapter. I am currently trying for once every other week on Sundays around 10:00 A.M. Chapters are usually 7k words and up, with the longest (chapter 3) being 10.3k words. So, if you like to sit down and read a long chapter every two weeks at 10:00 A.M. EST on Sundays, then you can waste your time here! Small disclaimer: Profanity is far and few between, and mostly used by side characters, rarely the main character. When something with gore happens, I describe to the best of my ability, which will only get better the longer I write this... :) Small cuts between perspectives happen, and can hide what some characters do, which will be revealed in future chapters, I'm not that lazy... all the time... There are some parts that are long blocks of text, most, if not all, of them, are characters talking, but I try not to info dump. I know one of the tags says "Psychological", and for the most part, it is, but it's not as prominent as other stories, instead, it's more hidden and scattered, but I did try to make the pieces I did reveal all fit together. Cover art is bound to be changed when I have a good picture to use, so the Yin-Yang is a placeholder for now unless yall wanna gimme something to use *wink wink nudge nudge*. So yeah, please give it a try, as I have nothing better to do with my life, and I am banking solely off of a career in literature and am hoping that I can create a story that can actually be called something more than a child's imagination running wild. The eventual and inevitable end to the story won't be for a long while, at least till chapter 40 or so. I have thought long and hard about the message and themes at play, so I hope you, the reader (who has some amazing hair btw), can enjoy and partake on this adventure with me into my dark empty pit of an imagination.
