RISE OF THE DRAGON EMPEROR - Chapter 143 Not broken

‘ Fire manipulation eh …. , as expected of big brother ‘ , Ronan thought as he felt searing pain throughout his body.

He had taken a lot of damage and his pain receptors had gone off the charts . A sane person would already lose their ability to process information under such circumstances, however not Ronan.

Ronan had trained his mind to the extreme inside the cave of penance and even when he was under immense pain or duress he was as sharp as when he was unharmed.

Ronan assessed his body condition and realised that his legs were still in their peak state , he could still maneuver around at top speed.

His left arm lost 30% of its mobility , it was covered in severe second degree burns and was even bleeding profousely.

His right arm lost 10% of its mobility, it was nothing much but he could feel the pain in his muscles whenever he tried to move them and there was a notable delay in his response speed._.

His chest area had also taken significant damage with his robe being only a garment to cloth him , providing no protection unlike an armour. He was feeling winded , he was feeling like his chest was on fire and there was no oxygen to breathe at all , as he panted heavily for air.

His head was clear despite the pain and his will to fight was stronger than ever. Since his brother brought out elemental manipulation Ronan knew he needed to step up his game as well or risk losing the match here.

Percy charged towards Ronan for the first time in the match as he took the initiative to engage in close ranged battle.

It was finally a display of head on fist fight as Ronan’s fists were brutally neutralized by Percy’s armour of flame while Percy’s fists laced with fire produced continuous damage for Ronan.

It was unbelievable to see the superior thunder element being suppressed so thoroughly by an inferior fire element. However, it was plain for everyone to see how Percy’s fire armour was eating Ronan’s thunder punches and neutralizing them to become nothing.

It was one thing for an elemental user to display fire manipulation and another to defy all laws of elements and suppress a superior element so thoroughly.

The various sect masters were shocked beyond beleif as they had never seen a technique quite like this , as they probed Alexander for answers.

” What soccery is this? Why is fire suppressing thunder? “

” That armour of flame around his body is peculiar, it’s elemental density is many times higher than the normal flames produced by Percy Draco , it contains indescribable secrets”.

“What technique is this , I’ve never seen such a proficient armour of flame! King Alexander are you willing to trade this technique for treasures? i will pay you fairly”.

” Me 2 , my sect will give you an open choice to pick anything from our treasury except the core technique of your clan , to trade with this one should you be willing “.

” Our kingdom is ready to trade it with 2 techniques”

” Ours is ready to trade it with 5! “.

An argument broke out as the various kings and sect masters drooled over the technique displayed by Percy Draco , however Alexander’s reply shut them down.

Alexander said ” This is the core technique of the Draco clan , not for sale im afraid “.

Everyone became silent after Alexander’s reply. They could not force a king of Alexander’s stature to give up on a core technique of his clan. They could only take this chance to study it closely to understand the proficiency of the technique and it’s true potential.

A more seasoned veteran then asked ” What is the name of this technique king Alexander? atleast tell us that “.

Alexander grinned , the veteran was smart as he wanted to know the name to search for the technique himself. If it was a technique not developed by Augustus Draco himself and borrowed from the outside then it was possible for him to learn about it if he searched hard enough.

However not even the phoenix clan had this technique as this one was strictly passed down to clan leaders only and the only men alive to know it in its entirety was Augustus Draco and Alexander Draco.

Hence with a smile he said ” This is called the armour of flame, the first level of the secret technique of the Draco clan”.

Alexander only revealed a tiny bit of information and did not reveal more than needed , but his reply shocked everyone present as this marvellous technique turned out to be only level one of the total technique, which meant that there were more levels to this one which could potentially be much more formidable.

The Draco clan was rising in status in everyone’s mind every passing second. There was no question in everyone’s mind that this clan was not to be provoked. Their golden age seemed to have started and their rise seemed inevitable.

Shifting their attention back to the fight , the sect leaders watched Percy dominate Ronan in a fist fight, uptil this point it was a complete Percy domination and after he exploded a ring of fire behind his back alongside the armour of flame , his battle strength seemed to have increased even more.

Punch after punch , block after block , Percy gave Ronan a run for his money as he inched closer and closer to a victory.

In the eyes of the veterans the victory of the elder brother seemed like a foregone conclusion , however nobody seemed to notice the shine in Ronan’s eyes increasing every passing second.

Ronan was not dumb enough to take damage without a reason, with his legs working he could long have disengaged and put a distance between himself and Percy should he have felt like it , however his goals were different.

Staying close to comprehend the secrets of his brothers move , Ronan seemed to comprehend the first level of the Draco secret technique as he tried to learn the armour of flames mid-fight!
