Chapter 66 - Flood Dragon

As Daedalus looked in the direction the roar came from a massive beast broke through the tree line and continued running towards Daedalus. As the beast ran at him Daedalus realised he stood near to no chance of getting away. Daedalus then checked the creatures cultivation and found that it was higher in all of its cultivation compared to Daedalus, but not by much. Daedalus quickly realised that it was a flood dragon, likely the one that the guard told him about as it supposedly evolved not too far from here.

Just as the flood dragon was closing in on him Daedalus equipped Void Weaver from his space ring. As the sword resonated with Daedalus the flood dragon arrived and attacked with a fearsome bite. Suddenly however the flood dragon jumped back, it had suddenly felt a surge of extreme danger the moment it was about to bite Daedalus.

A moment before as the flood dragon was biting at Daedalus, Daedalus had readied his blade to strike. The flood dragons instincts were so powerful it could almost feel the blade stabbing through its eye, luckily it had moved in time.

As the flood dragon backed off Daedalus took his fighting stance. The flood dragon also became more serious as it had definitely decided that Daedalus was an opponent that it could not underestimate. As they continued to look at eachother solemnly the flood dragon started to become clearly agitated. The flood dragon was a beast and so it ran off of instincts, this caused it to become agitated as its instincts were screaming to devour the luxurious meal and also to run away as the meal had a stronger bloodline. Daedalus saw that it was slowly becoming more and more agitated, decided to attack the flood dragon as it was distracted.

Daedalus kicked off of the floor while using both wind magic and earth magic to push him forward even faster. In less than a blink of an eye Daedalus was at the flood dragon's side. As his sword came down an arc of wind and lightning came rocketing out of the blade. The flood dragon only barely in time saved its life from the attack however it had lost an entire arm in the process!

The flood dragon's eyes then turned a pure bloody crimson as it hurled itself full force at Daedalus. Daedalus dodged but found his left arm almost stripped of its skin. The burning pain assaulted Daedalus' brain for a split second, which gave the flood dragon just enough time to smack Daedalus away with a swipe of its tail.

Daedalus came back to his senses quickly however he had been sent hurtling through several trees. As he got up Daedalus shuddered as he realised that his left arm and a few ribs had been nearly shattered with the last attack. Daedalus did not have enough time to worry however as he heard a fast approaching roar and stomps.

Daedalus grabbed his sword with one hand, blood dripping down his forehead and out the side of his mouth, and yelled as he ran toward the flood dragon. As the blade met the claw an enormous pressure pervaded the area, reducing the surroundings to a crater and rubble.
