Empire Of Souls - Chapter 112 Dragon King 4

“Enough of this charade, I will annihilate all of you!”

The Dragon King roared once more and swung his claws towards Lariel who deftly evaded the attack. Her ability to fly agilely was a huge advantage, but the Dragon King was much faster than his appearance would lead one to believe. Lariel had only just barely evaded his attack and she began bombarding the dragon from the air with a plethora of spells while Lenia and the Orc Chieftain attacked from below.

With Lariel entering the battle against the Dragon King, much of the pressure was taken off of Lenia and the Orc Chieftain. They leaped upon the immense dragon and began attacking the dragon ferociously. The dragon attempted to shake them off, but they stabbed or hacked deeply into the dragon’s flesh through its scales and held on as best they could. The dragon soon lifted its enormous body from off the floor while beating its wings. This movement shook the two tiny beings off its body and they crashed into the earth while the dragon flew high into the sky.

This did not thwart Lariel, who continued to bombard the dragon with her magic. She kept her distance from the dragon and kept the pressure on. This was the downside to having such a large body even with his immense strength. He was such a large target there was no way he could dodge her magic. Luckily, his MAG RES was high due to being both a dragon and a Demigod. The spells that hit felt no different than a pebble might feel being flung against a mortal’s body, but throw enough and one could even die from being hit by pebbles.

The Dragon King knew it couldn’t keep taking hits from Lariel’s spells without retaliating. Beating his wings savagely, a torrent of blades of wind were fired rapidly at Lariel leaving her with little breathing room. With the attack of wind blades, she was soon finding it difficult to throw her own spells at the dragon. From below, there was little Lenia and the Orc chieftain could do and they could only watch. The battle between Lariel and the Dragon King had reached a height they couldn’t possibly reach themselves without the ability of flight.

The Dragon King began circling around the area, flying at high speeds and breathing fire repeatedly at Lariel. She was completely on the defensive and could only struggle to defend against the dragon’s breath attack. She used all her remaining magic to maintain a shield around her body which kept the flames from reaching her. This was a huge drain on her magic and she could no longer retaliate. Seeing this, Lenia grew somewhat worried, to her surprise. She didn’t think she would ever be concerned for Lariel’s well being, but at this moment she was truly afraid for her life.

“Master…” she mumbled without realizing it.

A hand gently landed on her shoulder surprising her, “Don’t worry.”

She hadn’t even realized anyone was there, but when she heard the voice she relaxed. She knew exactly who the voice belonged to, how could she not?

High above, the Dragon King halted in front of Lariel and hovered there, breathing endless streams of fire. Seeing Lariel’s barrier weakening, he stopped his attack.

“It is over, you have no more strength to face me. Perhaps if there were a few more of you then my life would have actually been in danger. I have lived a very long time and have faced many enemies. You are worthy of my respect, unfortunately for you, you are on the wrong side. I don’t know who it is that you serve, but you can only blame yourself for choosing the wrong master. Farewell.”

The Dragon King opened its gigantic maw and was about to bite down on Lariel. This would surely end her life for good, but he was curious about her sudden laughter and closed his mouth, instead focusing on the strange being before him.

“Have you gone mad? Or is it a hobby of yours to laugh before you die?’

Lariel’s chime like laughter was pleasant and comforting to hear, but her behavior was quite peculiar. The dragon hesitated, was there something more to this than he knew?

“I laugh at your arrogance. You think yourself special, but you are just a tiny lizard and nothing more. No matter how large your body, compared to what lies beyond this world, you are truly too small.”

The dragon couldn’t understand where her confidence was coming from when she was about to die and looked at her askance.

“Oh well.” The Dragon King said and once more opened its wide maw and chomped down on Lariel.

It was only at that moment that an ominous feeling washed over his large form. A frightening and dreadful aura rose up, stopping him in his tracks. An illusion of death came over him causing him to feel fear for the very first time. The Dragon King had always been cautious and wary of those he should be cautious and wary of. This didn’t mean he feared them, he was careful and shrewd. This was to ensure the survival of his clan and species. But this feeling of dread, this was something he was not familiar with.

His head turned and looked towards the ground far below. His eyes carefully scanned the area that the aura originated from. With his enhanced vision, he could easily see those on the ground. He could see the Human woman and the Orc chieftain, but beside the Human woman he fought before, was someone new. It was a man wearing a golden mask.

“Your master?” The Dragon King asked cautiously.

“You should flee while you still can.” Lariel laughed mockingly.

She knew very well the dragon wouldn’t leave, not with its children now in danger. They were still gliding not far from where they were, watching the battle gleefully. However, once Aleks released his aura, the two dragons were caught unaware and fell fast to the ground. They weren’t weak, it was just that Aleks was too strong and had caught them by surprise. Nonetheless, if Aleks truly wanted to, he could kill them easily while they were down.

The Dragon King was fully aware of this after getting a taste of Aleks’s menacing aura. He knew very well that this was the aura of one like him, a Demigod.
