Chapter 32 - Death of the Dragon King!

I looked at the guest that appeared before me and Arthur. It was a gigantic dragon with dark red scales. The dragon King Eragon landed on one of the branches of the World Tree and said, "My rival how are you!"

When I wanted to answer him I felt a movement next to me. It was Arthur moving forwards with a bloodshot eyes. I hurriedly stopped him from advancing and said to dragon king, "Hello?"

"My rival I'm finally here as I promised! That time you beat me up and humiliated me. As you wished I'm now stronger and today I came to challenge you! Let's start our fight of a lifetime!" He said laughing.

I do remember that time. It was many many years ago when he assaulted me. That time I was really intrigued by him because he was the only intelligent creature I met. He could even talk to me that time. I don't know how he did that being just a newborn and not learning the language I speak. Nonetheless I was very impressed!

I smiled and said, "Oh, so you finally got stronger? Do you want to fight me? Sadly you came to early and I have to ask you leave and come back after twenty years!" The person who has to kill him is not me but Arthur. He can't kill the dragon right now but he surely could after twenty years.

Hearing me Eragon was angered and with an earth shattering roar he said, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN COME AGAIN AFTER 20 YEARS! YOU STILL THINK IM NOT STRONG ENOUGH! HOW DO....", "SHUT UP! YOU'RE MAKING A CHILD SCARED!" When Eragon was yelling his yell was disturbed by the other annoying yell. A long vine sprouted from the earth and covered the mouth of the dragon king. After that Lucinda ran up to me and Arthur. She ignored me and started patting the head of the child. I looked at Arthur and saw that with two hands he was covering his bleeding ears. The yell of the Dragon king was so strong that it even hurt he ears of Arthur.

Lucinda calmed the Arthur and somehow she made him sleep. She gave the child to me and looked at the dragon king. He had released his mouth from the vines and looking at Lucinda he said, "How dare you puny being intervene with this great fight! This is a sin worthy of death! Now receive....." Before he could even finish his monologue he was thrown far way. When the dragon king was monologuing Lucinda released a wine from the seed in her hands and in an instant trapped him inside. After that she with all her might used the wine as a slingshot and made the dragon fly away.

Her raw strength left deep impression on me. She never trained her body but she easily made the gigantic Dragon fly with her throw.

After throwing him she jumped and landed on the soil next to him. Dragon king already stood up and when he was about to say something Lucinda stomped the ground. After her stomp hundreds of gigantic spikes of wood grew from the soil to try and pierce the dragon.

I came up to her and asked, "What are you doing? You know who is the one that has to kill him! And you're not that person!"

Lucinda looked at me and said, "I know that! But when I saw what he did to Arthur I couldn't stop myself. I know I'm doing something bad but i just can't hold myself!"

When I was about to say something I heard a roar, "Why are you all ignoring me!" Yelled annoyed dragon. Looking at him I saw no injury on his body but a bunch of broken wood all around him.

Dragon King took a deep breath and gathered mana particles on his mouth. After that he released waves of fire coming towards us. It incinerated anything that came in contact with but when it was nearing us a gigantic Venus flytrap plant grew up and with it's gigantic mouth it tried stopping the fire. It was successful for a second but soon it was incinerated like anything else. Slightly weakened wave of fire was continuing its path. But soon enough when it was very close to us millions of vines started to grow and protect us like a wall.

At the same time vines started to grow under the dragon king and in few minutes they completely trapped him. He tried freeing himself but no matter how much he tried he was unsuccessful. Lucinda came closer to the dragon and said, "It's useless to try and escaping! The vines that are trapping you could drain mana from your body and use it to strengthen itself. The more you try and fight it the stronger it gets and more painfully they would restrain you!"

Dragon king stopped and with bloodshot eyes he said, "I'm tired of playing with you small elf." After he said that with a roar he raised his wings. His wings easily cut through the vines restraint him and again he took a deep breath and released a wave of fire towards Lucinda. Millions of vines grew up from earth and protected Lucinda. But sadly all of them were incinerated by the wave of fire and after dragon king stopped his fire breath I saw what happened to Lucinda.

Her hair was in mess and her right hand was burned black. With a painful yell she stopped the earth and a gigantic flower sprouted. The flower after sprouting started to release pollen like gaseous dust. It spread quickly and in few second even I could take a whiff of the pollen like dust. When I whiffed it I got slightly tired. I looked at dragon and I saw it loosing balance. Most likely the pollen like dust was some kind of dust that made people sleep.

The dragon losing his balance landed flat on earth. Impact was so strong that it even wake him. Angry dragon took a deep breath and fired his dragon breath towards Lucinda. But before it could even be activated the pollen like dust started to explode. The small spark from the dragon breath ignited the pollen like dust substance and caused a great explosion.
