Chapter 24 - Chapter 24: The Hero Against The Dragon 1

Loki walked forward while watching the behemoth circling in a massive area around them. "It's using the vast sky to dominate any battle... the sky really is a great advantage." He said and smirked. "Fortunately, it's not the only one who can fly."

Loki spread his arms and two black wings that resembled crow's emerged from his back. He squatted and buffed both his physical strength and speed that he could easily do with his definitely not overpowered skill.

"An angel..." Said one of the adventurers looking at Loki with his enlarged eyes. He was the only one who could talk because the others were too stunned to even talk.

Loki looked up. "Let's see how strong this dragon is." He said and waved his wings. The ground under Loki crumbled due to how powerful his wings and feet were, then, he propelled to the sky with such speed that the adventurers and knights could not even keep up with.

It just took Loki a few seconds and he was already floating near the dragon. Upon seeing Loki, the dragon stopped and roared—a roar so powerful it could pierce the ears of those not strong enough to withstand it. However, Loki was not affected, he just looked at the dragon without any emotion on his face.

The dragon opened its mouth and unleashed a destructive line of blue fire toward Loki.

Loki on the other hand, aimed his index finger toward the dragon. "Crimson Blast," Loki murmured.

A massive line of red light came out of Loki's index finger and rushed to the dragon. The red light annihilated the blue line of fire and easily reached the dragon's stomach—upon contact, the red laser beam exploded and caused destructive damage to the dragon.

The dragon roared due to the pain then a massive blue magic circle emerged right above them. The magic circle was so massive it covered a huge part of the forest—its range covered the entire army beneath.

"And here I thought the only thing it could do was breathe fire," Loki said.

Then, the magic circle unleashed a destructive barrage of blue fire within its range. This attack was so disastrous it could easily wipe out everything. The eerie sound of the explosion occurred, equipped with firepower that could easily be compared to nuclear weapons—an attack that could turn an entire city into nothing. The result of this attack should be a complete annihilation of the entire forest and the people beneath... But—

'That shit was scary—I am gonna be honest.' Loki snapped his finger and the hellish fire all around them instantly disappeared and most of all, the supposed disastrous attack caused not even a little damage. "They were not exaggerating when they told me that you dragons can actually wipe out an entire kingdom in a matter of days... Apparently, you actually can."

The dragon flew back a little while looking at Loki with its enlarged eyes. 

"I also heard that you dragons are prideful and intelligent... So I assume you can understand me. We haven't properly introduced each other yet." Loki said and smirked. "My name is Loki Morningwood... and you are?"

The dragon waved its wings and roared. Then, the entire area was filled with countless blue magic circles and all of them were facing Loki, indicating that the dragon decided to focus on him. Then, a barrage of attacks occurred, and thousands of magic circles blasted blue fire toward Loki. At the same time, another magic circle as massive as the first one emerged above with Loki as its center.

The massive magic circle blasted a catastrophic attack that supposedly no one would survive. Loki was left with no place to run, all directions had hellish fire rushing toward him, and the full force of the massive circle was about to reach him. However... To escape was nothing of his concern.

The explosion of combinations of thousands of attacks occurred, and all the spectators' eyes could only watch in awe—seeing attacks that only meant death and complete obliteration if they were then one on the receiving end. Their jaws dropped in disbelief.

"As if I am watching a battle between... Gods." Said one of the knights.

The attacks engulfed where Loki was standing.

"Impressive..."

A massive black magic circle emerged above the blue magic circle. The black magic circle was double the size of the blue magic circle and made it seem small and insignificant in comparison. The dragon stared at the raging catastrophe building above it... It could only growl, knowing what kind of disaster it was about to receive.

"It was fun, but it should end now." The blue fire engulfing the area disappeared, revealing Loki didn't even move from his spot. "Let me give you a taste of your own medicine. Let's fight fire with fire." He said and raised his right hand. "I am telling you now, I don't think you will survive this... It will turn you into ashes in a matter of seconds. I would be scurrying away now if I were you."

The dragon looked left and right, there was nowhere to run, it was in the middle of the magic circle and it was well aware that it was not fast enough to reach the end before the attack could hit it.

Then, the cheering of the people beneath them sounded, they knew what was about to happen. The victory was already theirs.

Loki slowly put his hand down and a violent wind started to sway his hair, revealing his glowing blue eyes. "Time is up," Loki said. "Black Fire..." The roaring blaze from the magic circle echoed throughout as an indication that a calamity was about to rain down on the dragon. 

The dragon on the other hand rushed toward Loki and opened its mouth, revealing its powerful fangs. The dragon's last bet was to kill Loki before he could activate his attack.

"Too late..." Loki said and activated his skill. His eyes were focusing on the fangs of the dragon lunging at him.

However...

"Please... Help me."
