Zap! Zap! Boom!
The lightning struck Sou but didn't manage to injure him badly. He worked up his body incredibly, dodging each lightning strike by hair's breadth. But he couldn't dodge every attack of Kakund if he only focused on evading the lightning strikes. The chunks of the elemental spheres were still following Sou's ass without giving him any time to rest. They were more dangerous than the continuous stream of lightning throw at him. He needed to do something to halt the chunks' movement and let him focus on a single task at a time.
(I can stop every single one of them using Mana's Authority but I will be lacking in the most important factor to pull this off- time! How am I supposed to work my focus on those pain in the ass when this guy won't stop trying to make a roast out of me.)
"Guh!" The continuous attacks grazed Sou's face slightly.
(Damn! That small graze is burning like hell! This guy's mana is not something to make light of...)
Sou ran and dodged and showed some weird movements for a while before steeling his resolve to go on the offence.
Sou ran up to Kakund, dodging and deflecting some handful of strikes and even taking on some head-on. Though reckless, it was a result of a quick-wit decision.
"So you have finally reached your limit, brat? That means your death is nearing. Accept your death brat!" Kakund mocked Sou seeing him tackle his attacks head-on.
(Wait till I wipe that grin off your face...)
Boom! Zap! Zap! Boom!
The whole platform echoed with resounding lighting zappings and explosions. If anyone saw this, they would think that a war was going on between two nations.
Sou kicked the ground when he was close to Kakund's feet, which left a crater on the ground and spun his body clockwise to extend his reach of landing.
"..." Kakund just stayed silent and summoned a bunch of lightning clouds around the peak.
Sou continued to ask Drago questions about the skill while also scaling the Dragon's body which took a considerable amount of effort as Kakund didn't have any intention to make it easy for Sou. As soon as Sou landed on Kakund's leg, the scales all over his body detached themselves and started to launch like missiles with Sou's back as the target.
"Oh great!" Sou sarcastically cried and sped up his feet to scale the Blue's gigantic body. The scale missiles passed by Sou with him struggling his best to evade them and the destructive chunks of elements following him.
Tap tap tap tap!
Sou continued to tread over Kakund's body while the scale everything chased him. When he had scaled half of Kukund's body, the surface where Sou was running began to quake, making Sou almost lose balance and was about to get swallowed by the abominations behind his back. But Sou didn't give up. He couldn't bring his body to balance himself because of the hectic situation, he used Mana's Authority to push his body forward and regain his footing and continue to reach his destination- Kakund's throat. But as the distance between his mark and him shortened, the quakes became more intense and the chases became faster, not allowing Sou to let his guard down even for a second, let alone rest.
"Fuck!"
Swoosh! Fwoosh! Fwoosh!
When he senses the scales coming from the right, he dodges to the left. When they come from the left, he evades to the right. When from the bottom, he jumps. From the top, he ducks while running. When faced from both the front and the back, he deflects by slightly pushing the scales to change the trajectory. When none of the above actions helps, he minimizes his dodging movements just enough to graze past the actions and endures the pain... and the sequence repeats itself.
(How big is he?! Where his head?! I could see his head just fine but now that I on his body, his head disappeared!)
"Give up brat. I don't know what you are planning but it is futile. Before you can do anything, you will be dead."
"You know... the way you call me 'brat' really pisses me off so shut the fuck up!"
Twitch.
Kakund's cheeks twitched when heard 'fuck off' coming from Sou. He was a Dragon, a member of the majestic race who rule over the entirety of Melim, the world they reside in.
"But a no-name brat tells me to 'fuck off'? Unforgivable!"
"ROAAAAAARRRRRRRRR!!!!"
Kakund roared in anger and a bright shine radiated from Kakund's body.
"What now?! I was this close to his neck!" Sou cried with half-closed eyes due to the blinding light.
"Wo--ah" Sou feet trembled as Kakund's body started to shrink. Unable to regain stability, Sou jumped off from his body and landed on the ground amidst the 'annoying' things.
Sou quickly moved to avoid any unnecessary injuries. He stared at the changing Kakund with irritation in his eyes. But he noticed something else too. Kakund was probably going through some change to defeat Sou which made him lose some of his control over his ongoing attacks, as a result, the attacks became sluggish and inaccurate. This was the chance Sou was looking for!
Sou rushed for his target, dodging and parrying. While Sou was making his way to Kakund, he has already shrunk his gigantic, enough to be the same height as an average human.
"Got you!!" Sou screamed as he formed a lightning polearm and threw it from a point-blank range.
Boom!
The explosion resounded earnestly. Lightning ran through the ground due to the extreme energy. But... despite the absurd energy, Sou's attack didn't make any difference, instead, it seems to have excited a certain someone- a Dragon in the form of a human to be precise.
"You can change forms?! No wonder there are mentions of half-dragons in the ancient texts. And here I used to think that you do some kind of experiment with human females to enlarge their p**** enough to fit the Dragon's thing."
"Haha! Nice joke but the human form is not for reproduction purposes only. I will show you!"
Swoosh!
He disappeared. He was holding the lightning polearm not a moment ago and now he is nowhere to be found.
(Bloodlust!)
Sou quickly withdrew his position on the ground and turned instantaneously, guarding with both his hands up.
Bam!
A heavy punch hit Sou's hands and sent his body flying, almost out of the platform. Somehow, Sou managed to get a hold of himself using Mana's Authority and pulled himself back into the platform.
"Blegh!" Sou threw some blood due to the previous hit and wiped his mouth.
"Ha... so this the true power of a Dragon..."
Thump!
Kakund stomped the ground to intimidate Sou and the light glowing from his body dimmed down, a handsome man with long blue hair striding through his back made his appearance. The man deep blue like the ocean, his fluttering hair seemed like the waves of the ocean and the man himself was calm and collected but also radiated great dominance over the area. This man was the leader of the Blues, Kakund!
