« A… a dragon of the highest level! »
Yug and Anna shouted at the same time.
Not all dragons have the same power, dragons with pure bloodlines, or resulting from the mating of two powerful ones are more powerful than, for example, dragons birthed by magic or from the mating between a dragon and a weaker magical creature like a Wyvern.
Dragons are currently classified into four power groups: low power, medium power, high power and finally the incredibly rare dragon kings.
The dragons that Haruto had killed, for example, were low-level dragons.
« You two prepare for battle, I advise you to use all your strength, I won't be able to protect you. »
After saying that, Haruto rushed towards the dragon group, Yug and Anna put their fists in their palms and several magic circles appeared in front of them.
Then two keys, one black and the other one golden, materialized between Anna's fingers.
« Open Gate of the Paired Fish! Pisces! »
« Open Gate of the Altar! Priest of souls! »
A vortex appeared in front of her and two gigantic black and white eels emerged from it, then a skeleton, wearing priest's robe with a dark cross, appeared in purple flames, next to the two eels.
« Magic of alchemy: the five elements! »
A red lightning bolt crossed Yug's body and then materialized five elemental balls of 50 centimetres each, swirling around his body.
Meanwhile, Haruto had already appeared in front of the gigantic lava dragon, while the seven fire dragons ignored him and headed towards Yug and Anna.
Haruto instantly drew his Katana out, his aura exploded with an incredible intensity, to the point where a small tornado formed around him, and went on the offensive.
Swing
Haruto disappeared and then, with a speed exceeding the speed of sound, crossed the dragon's body with a gargantuan slash.
But unlike the other dragons, the lava dragon took Haruto's slash, only to emerge unharmed.
Seeing this, Haruto's pupils shrank, but at the same time a gigantic, extremely fast claw appeared in front of him, giving off a heat that could melt even steel.
Bang
The claws of the lava dragon struck Haruto, crushing him to the ground.
Haruto stood up and spat out a bit of blood, his clothes were slightly charred and his skin had a small burn as well.
The lava dragon rushed towards Haruto again, a huge magic circle appeared in front of its open jaws.
Haruto firmly held his Katana, as three magic circles appeared under his feet.
« Vibration magic, 100 cut. »
High-frequency tremors spread from his Katana, his whole form became slightly blurred, as if Haruto was just a superimposition of several images of himself.
At the same time, the dragon spat out a large amount of lava at Haruto, who in turn made a slash.
Swing
A gigantic gash of more than 500 meters long cut everything in its path, cleaving the lava dragon's attack in half, before passing through the dragon's body.
« ROOOAARR!!!!!!!! »
A bloody wound appeared on the body of the dragon, that screamed in pain.
The enraged dragon angrily beat its wings, rushing towards Haruto at a breakneck speed, as a dozen magic circles appeared around his body.
From each magic circle appeared gigantic lava spears of about 30 meters long, attacking Haruto from all sides.
He put the handle of his sword on his palm, and a magic circle appeared in front of the blade of his Katana.
Next, a second magic circle appeared under his feet, but this time with a greenish colour even bigger than the last time.
« Plant vitality, Forest Fortress! »
The ground around him began to violently shake, and huge cracks appeared on it, after that, countless huge trees instantly burst out from the ground in succession with Haruto in its centre and in just a second the trees formed a protective fortress around Haruto.
Bang Bang Bang
The spears came and struck the trees, destroying them instantly, yet the quantity of trees was such that none of the attacks reached Haruto.
Boom Booom
The lava dragon landed and furiously crushed the trees under its feet, at that moment he and Haruto were barely 15 meters away from each other.
The magical circle of Haruto's blade suddenly became brighter and instantly grew, before disappearing.
A white glow then appeared around his Katana.
« Vibration magic, 200 cut! »
In the next instant, a slash of about a kilometre long crossed the dragon and cut its arm and left wing off, before continuing a hundred meters further cutting the top of the mountain.
« ROOAAR!! HUMAN!!! »
An orange liquid with a scarlet tint burst from the severed limbs of the dragon, as it rolled on the ground in pain.
Haruto then put his Katana back in its sheath, and held out his two palms in front of him, as five magic circles appeared.
« Magic of fire, Tempest of fire! »
*BOOOM!*
A huge tornado of flame quickly surrounded the dragon and engulfed it, the earth and rocks of the mountain then began to melt, and the heat released burned everything within the radius of 3 kilometres, except Haruto.
Even Yug, Anna and the seven dragons who were about to start the fight stopped and watched the scene in trepidation.
Half of the mountain had been completely wiped out.
