{MC POV}
"Ray are you sure that you can handle this Rank 6 Peak dragon?
There is a big difference between Rank 5 and Rank 6 because in Rank 6 we can master and comprehend elements to 100%. So that dragon will be extremely strong. He will be in leagues of his own among his group of dragons." said Headmaster Selene.
"Yes Headmaster Selene, this will be the strongest enemy I will face. If I keep backing down then I will never be able to become strong"
I said.
After saying that I looked towards my party.
All of them were exhausted and burn marks from earlier were hurting them as well.
Their mana was also on the verge of depletion.
We all looked towards each other and nodded.
Then I started walking towards the door of the Room 6, my party followed me from behind. When I entered inside the room. I saw the big dragon. He was at least twice bigger than other dragons which my party fought. The dragon had Red scales all over his body. He had Golden eyes and also had a horn on his forehead.
Magma was coming out of his mouth.
I nodded towards my party then started walking towards the dragon.
As soon I entered his range.
He immediately attacked me using his tail.
I underestimated his speed.
I thought since he is a big ass dragon, his speed will be slow and that's where I was wrong.
His speed was fast. I tried to dodge his tail, but it was already too late.
I was sent flying from that place to the other end of the room. I immediately coughed some blood and when I tried to stand up, I felt huge pain on my back. I then realized that this dragon just broke my spine with only his tail attack.
Thankfully my ["Divine Vampire Passive skill"] worked and with the help of ["Instant Regeneration"] I was able to repair my spine.
I first cast [ "Gale Shoes"] spell, it raised my speed to Rank 6.
This time when dragon tried to attack me with his tails or claws, I was easily able to dodge his attacks. I then thought that which of my spells can cause damage against dragon.
This dragon is resistant to normal fire attacks but I have Blue Fire so he will definitely get damaged with it.
Obviously my ["Blue Flame Missile"] spell is too weak and will never be able to penetrate this dragon's defense.
So I cast ["Inferno"] spell, but the dragon was unscathed and had no injuries.
He roared and attacked me with Dragon's breath. I immediately cast ["Ice shield"] spell and even reinforced it to protect me.
Once his bombardment stopped, I cast ["Hailstorm"] spell, but again ice shards were not able to penetrate his skin and icy winds were not able to stop him because of his large body size and weight.
At this moment I kind of understood my Rank 4 spells are completely useless against him.
I decided to use one more spell which could distract the dragon and buy me some time to cast Rank 5 spells. So I cast ["Wind Fenrir Lord"]. It summoned big wind wolf.
He immediately charged towards the dragon however, a simple tail attack was enough to send the wolf crashing towards the wall and then disperse.
At least the wolf managed to buy me enough time to cast my Rank 5 spell ["Hell's Fist"].
I ran in the direction of the dragon. He tried to attack me with his claws but with the help of my instincts and ["Danger sense"] skill, I was able to dodge them, and when I was at close range. I hit the dragon's head from the bottom.
I expected him to suffer some injuries, but Nope... there was no damage and this time I was in very close range. He immediately grabbed me with his mouth and bite a portion of the right side of my body then throw me towards the wall like a ragdoll.
I was in extreme pain. After some seconds my arm and legs, organs were regrown, but the pain was unimaginable.

{With Ray's Party}
As soon as Elora saw Ray using his Rank 5 spell she was excited. "Finally he is using his strongest spell, this time surely the dragon will be hurt."
All other party members were also hopeful, but Headmaster Selene was not sure. And as she thought, The worst happened.
All were terrified seeing Ray's condition. Almost half of his body was gone.
Elora started crying and immediately tried to go to Ray's location without caring about her life. But Leo grabbed her and said
"You will only increase his trouble"
Hearing Leo's harsh words, she stopped and gritted her teeth and lips so hard that blood started coming.
It was also at this moment that she understood she has feelings for Ray, after he saved her in the dungeon.
But she was also feeling so powerless that she could not save Ray.
Leo and others were also helpless.
Headmaster Selene decided to move and help Ray, but her body was not able to take another step. Her body was fixed at one place.
Then a beautiful lady teleported in front of them. She had silver hair and purple eyes just like Ray.
"I want you to not interfere in this fight" said Rose.
Headmaster Selene immediately recognized the lady as Vampire Goddess and also Ray's mother, so she stopped.
All other students also stopped except Elora.
"What are you saying, Ray will die like this. He will never be able to defeat the Dragon" shouted Elora.
Rose narrowed her eyes at Elora and that was enough to shut her up because of the Natural Aura and Pressure Rose releases.
"My baby selected this Cultivation path.
To reach his goal of becoming the strongest person in the world, he will have to follow his path till the end and never back down.
Also, who said that he will not be able to defeat the dragon, He will definitely defeat him.
You simply don't know him enough. So just shut your mouth and watch" Said Rose.
Usually Rose acts like a gentle lady.
However right now she is angry, seeing her son getting hurt and even half-eaten.
She wanted to just come and crush the dragon and even torture him. But she resisted her will.
Also, there was something off about this place which was actually even giving her chills.
That's the reason why she came here in the first place.
She can't allow Ray to come here alone. Because, if someone extremely strong appears and attacks Ray then only she can save him.
Also, Her instincts were never wrong.
Also, now her son became her 'Husband' as well, and she can feel his emotions through marriage contract.
And, right now Ray is furious and she knows that if she came to help her son, he will be hurt from the inside.
Because at least he will expect his Mom to believe in him.
Ray will think that if even his Mom doesn't believe in him, than what's the benefit of his hard work and strength.
Rose knows how much hard work her son did, and she also knows his strength.
Her son have enough strength to defeat this dragon, but he will have to reveal some of his trump cards.
