Legendary-rankers Alison, Seiya, Kioshi and Akemi sprinted through-out the land, after the dragon flying across the sky.
"It's really fast," said Alison.
"Akemi, can you do something to get it's attention?" Kioshi asked.
Akemi nodded before stopping and drawing her sword.
After taking a deep breath, she let it back out and chanted a phrase.
"Skyman Technique Thirty-seven: Instant Long Slash."
She gripped her sword and slashed it across the air.
Fwsh.
A large ripple of wing blasted into the dragon's wings. Although the attack didn't do much, it did catch its attention. The dragon turned around and flew towards each of the adventurers.
"Ah, here it comes!" Seiya shouted.
The dragon opened its mouth widely as a flame blasted out.
Fwshshhhhh
Akemi dashed forward and sliced the air in front of her and shouted.
"Technique: Forty-Two!"
The flame coming closer was suddenly split in half, causing it to miss them.
"Nice one!" Kioshi shouted.
Alison jumped into the air and landed on the dragon's back.
She pulled out her dagger and slammed the point into the dragon's wing.
"Penetrate!" As she pulled her dagger back, there was now a large gaping hole. The dragon began to fall, coming closer and closer to the ground.
At the last second before it hit the ground, Alison hopped off.
Fwsh! Thuuuddddd!!
Dirt launched into the air from the impact.
Now that they got the dragon to the ground, it was now time for the hard part, defeating it.
Each of the adventures stood vigilant as the dragon slowly got up. A single loud, earbusting roar was released from its mouth, skating the air.
"Attack it now!" Seiya yelled out. In that moment, he jumped up and kicked the dragon in the side of its face. Next, he smashed his elbow into its forehead before slamming his fist against its eye.
Fwsh! Boom! Bam! Slam!
At the same time, Alison and Kioshi ran all across its back with flashy speed, slashing and stabbing it many times.
Swing! Swing !Swing! Slash! Slash! Slash! Cut! Cut! Stab!
Akemi Lifted her sword and aimed it at the Dragon's chest.
"Skyman Technique Twenty-seven: Piercing light."
A wide beam of light shot from the tip of her blade and blasted into the dragon's chest.
SwooooSshhhhh BOOOOMMM!!
The dragon only shook each of their attacks off.
Over the course of ten minutes, they continued to slash, stab, punch and kick the dragon all while trying to avoid it's own attacks. They even tried a few magic attacks. In the end, the dragon was still standing with the majority of it's heath left.
[Dragon: Hp: 2,568,341 /2,896,900,000]
"At this rate, we'll be too tired out to even get half of it's heath down." Seiya stated.
"We need to retreat. I don't think we can keep this up. It's a miracle we avoided it's attacks for this long." said Kioshi.
"I hate to run but you guys are right." Alison agreed.
"Yes, we should back off for now." siad Akemi.
The dragon began lashing out in anger and slashed the floor as it came towards them.
Before it could hit them, they each jumped out of the way.
"We can't run now! It'll follow us!" Kioshi shouted.
He couldn't say anything else as a giant hand with claws wrapped around him, lifting him into hair. Akmei was quick to react and pointed her sword at the monstrosity.
"Skyman Technique Twenty-Eight: Multi-Piercing light."
Many beams fled from the tip of her sword and launched into the dragon's face, bleeding it for a brief second.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Kioshi was able to break free and jump away just as the creature regained its sight.
"So what now? We'll eventually be killed by it if we stay here." said Seiya.
Akemi closed her eyes and placed her sword back inside her scavern. She took a deep breath then as she let it back out, she swiftly pulled out her sword once more, chanting.
"Skyman Technique Final Set, Move 1: Combined Attack."
She then spoke to each of her allies in a strong tone.
"Here, I will use each of the final secret techniques of the Skyman family. I will hold off the dragon while the rest of you escape. Then if I find an opportunity, I will leave as well."
Kisohi tightened his fist in stress and loudly replied.
"We do need to retreat but, we won't just abandon you! We'll deal with this together."
She glared at him and with a sudden movement, whacked him on the side of his neck. Before realizing what happened, Kioshi fell to the floor unconscious.
Thump!
"I knew he wouldn't listen. Now that he's out for the time being, can i count on you guys to carry him?" Akemi asked.
Seiya bent over and lifted Kioshi over his shoulder.
"Yeah, we got him."
Before they took off, Alison gave Akemi one last look and thanked her.
"Thank you, Akemi."
With them now gone, Akemi turned to face her opponent and spoke to it with a bold tone in her voice.
"Now, I, Akemi Skyman will be facing off with you. Show me what you can do, Mr Legendary Dragon. I too, will show you what I am capable of in return."
The dragon took a giant leap forward and slashed its claws at her. Akemi lifted her sword and paired it against the dragons hand.
SHNKKKk!!!!!!
With a shove, the creature was knocked back.
Thuddd!
Left, right, left ,right. Akemi danced around the map with her flashy attacks.
Jumping onto the dragon's head, Akemi lifte her sword into the air.
"Skyman Technique Forty-Nine: Blasting Force!"
With every muscle in her back, arms and shoulder, She stabbed the sword into its head.
Boooom!!!
The dragon's entire body launched against the ground, leaving Akemi mid-air. As she began to fall, the monster's hand grabbed her body and brought her close to its mouth opened wide.
In the back of it's throat, she was able to spot a slame forming.
Quickly she shouted a chant.
"Secret Technique Move 2: Combined Heath!!" By time she finished, the melting flame sprayed in her face.
Swiiiishshshsh!!!
Slash! SLash! Slash!
The dragon's hand fell into pieces while Akemi jumped away, putting distance between her and the monster.
[Dragon has activated 'Calamity Roar']
The dragon's mouth opened wider than it had ever done before and let out a single long-lasting roar.
The wind violently quivered and the surrounding trees shook side to side and some even snapped completely in half. The ground was splintered with cracks in all directions.
Akemi fell to her knees and covered her ears as the roar was still ongoing.
'It somehow dispelled the secret skyman techniques. I should've chanted the effect immunity technique. I'll just chant them again when it's done roaring.'
But that's where the issue was. There was no sign of that dragon's roar stopping. Instead, the roar continued as the monster steadily aporched Akemi.
Being nearly stunned by all the noise, she did the only thing she could and hoped for the best.
'The end of my life is my own fault. This could've been avoided if I had used the immunity technique. I accept my defeat.' Akemi thought to herself.
Still roaring, the dragon lifted it's claws above her.
Akemi shut her eyes and waited to be killed.
"Attack Amplifier!!!." A familiar voice yelled.
Amaya jumped through the air and smashed her fist into the center of the dragon's face.
BOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!
The dragon's entire head bloated up then exploded.
Pop!!
Tmp.
Amaya gently landed onto the floor as blood rained down on her.
[You have obtained the spirit of the 'Magic Dragon']
'Hmm. Sounds interesting. I'll analyze it later.'
Amaya then turned to look at Akemi.
"Wait, haven't we met before?"
Akemi was clearly amazed at how easily one of the Legendary-dragons was killed. Still, she managed to reply.
"Indeed we have."
"I thought so. Can you do me a favor and tell the guild that the dragon issue is handled?" Amaya asked.
"Yes, I can."
Akemi pulled her magic communicator from her pocket and held it up to her ear.
"This is legendary-rank Akemi. The new Legendary-ranked Amaya showed up and defeated the dragon, Sir. I know, sir. This is not a lie. I watched it with my one eyes. Huh? The king would like to speak with her?"
