Chapter 26 - Dante vs Reynard

"You really don't have time to be worrying about others right now"

Reynards threats didn't faze Dante, In response, Dante released his 'Dragon Fear Aura' completely suppressing Reynard in momentum

Reynard seeing he had lost the battle of words charged straight at Dante

Reynard figure flashed straight towards Dante and reading his movement perfectly Dante let out a ferocious claw attack

"Furious Dragon Claw"

"Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!"

Four intimidating roars erupted in quick session as Dante's scaly, Clawed hand shot towards Reynard

In response, Reynard's hand flashed a deep blue

"Rushing river palm"

"Boom!"

A terrifying explosion rang as palm and claw collided sending out a shockwave through the forest.

Taking a step back Dante's chest inflated as fire element particles shot towards him charging his breath attack. Due to the fire elemental nature of the environment, his breath attack charged much faster than before.

"ROAR!"

A torrent of flames burst out Dante's mouth towards Reynard.

Seeing Reynard quickly shouted

"Hydrosphere! "

Instantly a watery blue light covered Reynard in a sphere

"Hisss!"

As flames met the sphere it evaporated a layer of water, covering the area in steam and obscuring vision. shuttling through the steam Dante appeared in front of the hydrosphere and let out a ferocious claw

"Bang !"

Despite the loud bang from the attack all that occurred was the slight shaking of the bubble of water causing a sneer to appear on Raynard's face.

but before Raynard could celebrate another attack was sent out towards the bubble

"Bang!"

Again the blow shook the Hydrosphere but, showing the slight weakening of the barrier, it shook even more than last time.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

blow after blow was sent at the hydrosphere causing Raynard's expression to change from sneer to shock until

"POP!"

The water sphere burst under the continuous attacks of Dante, but before Dante could continue to attack a pair of hands reached out grabbing Dante by the horns.

letting out a loud shout Raynard twisted his body flinging Dante into the forest with terrifying strength

"Boom! Boom!"

Dante's body shot into the forest flying through various trees and forestation

standing up, Dante dusted himself off before taking a pill for his injuries but before he could finish Dante heard a deep shout

"Tidal wave!"

looking up Dante saw a gigantic wave rushing towards him like a beast that wanted to devour him cleanly.

In response a particles of flame energy started pouring towards Dante reaching terrifying levels .

When his body was practically bursting from the overflow of flame attribute spirit energy Dante let out a sky-shaking roar.

"ROAR"

With that action, a golden-red beam of flames shot out directly from his mouth towards the gigantic fast approaching wave.

"Boom!"

an apocalyptic explosion erupted as the two tyrannical directly opposing elements met in an explosion of steam and gas

Stomping heavily on the ground Dante shot directly towards Raynard

"Furious Dragon Claw !"

"Rushing River Palm !"

"Bang!"

A horrific collision rang out as both attacks collided at terrifying speed.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A terrifying exchange blows was exchanged

Taking a step back Dante took time to collect himself

Although the fight looked pretty even only Dante knew he was at a major disadvantage. Although he was able to skip realms and fight agains Raymond in the 9th layer he was still running low on energy reserves . Another disturbing fact was his dragonification form that allowed for him to reach such levels was on a time limit and every second he wasted put him a second closer to defeat.

Dante's eyes darted around looking for something in the environment he could use turn the situation around

Then Dante finally saw it, the thing that had brought him out here in the first place, the Scarlet Flame Rose!

But Dante knew that if he was to go and get the Scarlet Flame Rose he would have to break away from Raynard first.

Not wasting anymore time Dante stomped on the ground leaving a footmark in the floor dashing towards Klent and Anne's battlefield

Seeing Dante's strange behaviour Raynard followed close behind

Like that two rays of light, one red and one blue, flashed through the forest leaving a storm as they passed .

Approaching Klent and Anne, Dante shouted

"Klent, I need you to keep him occupied for 10 minutes "

Not wasting time to explain Dante flashed right past them straight towards the Scarlet Flame Rose

Meanwhile Raynard approached soon after but before he could pass a deafening hum rang out as Klent said

"I'm gonna need you spend a few minutes with me if you don't mind "

"Apocalypse Sword Style!"

Instantly a blinding golden brilliance erupted from the top of Klents sword

Stunning everyone in the surrounding vicinity

"Split The Earth!" With a furious shout Klent brought down his sword filled with muderous intent as a monstrous golden beam light shot out of it destroying everything in its path as it hurtled towards Raynard.

Seeing such a horrifying sight hurtling towards Raynard was stunned for a second before he erupted in a cool blue light before stomping his feet

"Tidal wave!!"

From the ground of his feet a geyser of litres of water shot out of the floor a horrifying pressure before forming a terrifying tidal wave, which shot towards the oncoming beam of light

"Boom!"

despite the horrifying explosions and shockwaves, Dante didn't even turn back to look, he had faith that Klent would be able to hold on against Raynard and instead decide to focus on finding a way to win

Approaching the Scarlet Flame Rose he found Dante felt warmer and incredibly comfortable as fire element particles started dancing around him like a group of fairies.

looking at the Scarlet Flame Rose in front of him Dante felt some hesitation, directly taking such a strong Natural treasure could always have devastating consequences and could often lead to death

Even Dante was originally planning to take it back to the clan to have it refined for a much safe experience.

"Bang!"

A terrifying explosion rang out breaking Dante from his stupor
