RIEECCCHHK!!! Another deafening scream escapes the dragon's lips.

Hex appeared unconcerned by this fact. 'Dragons are too prideful, I am actually standing here, why is it roaring so loudly?'

{Phantom thinks she is angry}

'She? No wonder! Women are always shouting on men when ever their vexed, their rage isn't advised.'

"Show me my stats before I go into this battle, Phantom," Hex stated, folding his palms. I want to know how many moves it would take me to kill this fuck ball!!!'

{Phantom}

Strength: 15

Agility: 8

Senses: 2

Stress: 48

Cursed Mana: 34

'Ok I see I still have a lot to spare....'

"Hex!!!"

Fwlooop!

The blue shimmer drew his gaze back to the light. While he was preoccupied with thinking, the dragon had thrown down a lightning ball at him.

He might not have had a chance to appropriately respond to the attack if Wease had not yelled out.

Stretching out his palm, Hex blasted a massive purple star beam toward the lightning bolt.

Booooom! Fwlooop!

The two strikes collided, producing an explosion of purple and blue flashing lights. Both sides were evenly matched.

'As expected of a lightning dragon. To be very honest, I would have rather killed it with that shot, but yet life is not what we are after, is it?

Hex lowered his hands to his waist, raising himself over the earth and into the air. He was used to soaring in the air because he was a cursed slayer in his previous life until his head was tragically bitten off.

"Did I piss you off bitch?" Hex soared fast through the air towards the Lightning Dragon.

Pufffffkkk!

Another ball of lightning was charged up by the lightning dragon and fired toward Hex.

"Keok!" Hex swerved to avoid a collision, letting the ball pass him with a sigh.

The heat and the proximity of the lightning gave him shivers, even though he was only avoiding it by a few feet. 'what a dragon ball!'

RIEECCCHHK!!!

The dragon let out another scream, this time fluttering its wings and leaping into the air. "How dare you a mere human humiliate me?"

"Hugh?" Startled by what had just slipped past his ears, Hex stopped midair. 'Did a dragon just speak to him?'

{No I interpreted it}

'What are you film subtitles?' Hex folded his hands and cussed.

RIEECCCAAAHHK!!

Another scream resounded from the dragon's massive lungs.

{The great Lightning dragon will bite off your HEAD}

Hex moaned, furiously rolling his eyes. 'Why do you dragon's keep on bringing up that thought of eating my brains?'

{Master I suggest we end this now as your fatigue is increasing greatly}

With a nod of understanding, Hex raised his hands and gathered a great deal of Cursed Mana.

The Phantom was correct: after this, he needed to go after his mother; wasting time and Mana here was not an option.

"Die!" Hex paused momentarily when a surprising thing came into his line of sight.

Up in the sky was lightning not from the dragon but something much smaller.

It was at first, high in the sky and appeared to be a speck, but as the orange lighting got brighter by the second, it became much more visible.

'The movement is human, and there are only a few numbers of humans that could summon this power....'

With great familiarity, Hex's eyes gleamed in the orange light. "Becca!"

Shooom! Booomm!

The orange lightning grabbed hold of the dragon's hind, ripping through it and severing its neck from the rest of its body.

One by one, the body pieces descended several dozen meters to the bottom, but the orange light remained suspended in midair.

{Phantom Absorption}

A lady could be seen in it, gazing boldly back at Hex.

{Sense confusion}

'She is deciding if I am a cursed one or human, as expected of Becca.'

Hex had met her in a previous incarnation; she was a formidable Cursed Slayer commander. Even with the Phantom, he would not have been able to defeat such a formidable beast in a single blow. She was genuinely remarkable.

"You are not a Cursed devil, but you appear to be extremely powerful," she murmured to herself.

She had long orange hair, medium height, and was dressed in a white blouse, black pants, and a black mantle. She held an axe that was sparking orange.

On the side of the mantle was an ancient drawn symbol that meant. Cursed Slayer!

"Are you a child? Or maybe a devil? Give me a reasonable answer an I won't kill you!" Becca said in a tone devoid of menace.

Hex gulped hard, she wanted to fight him. 'Shit!'

Becca vs Hex, lightning up against stars! Who will win.
