Loser's redo: Transmigration in a novel

Chapter 101 Give My All To Pursue Eternal Life

With it's intelligence, Zrector knew that the human in front of it was very weird. There have only been a few beings who have gone unaffected by its presence, most of them were dragons or beings welding extraordinary strength.

In this, the common fact was that they were all either strong as him or even surpassed him in strength.

But Zick was clearly weaker than him no matter how it saw him.

Zrector was aware that Zick aura had nature's characteristics and even his presence was the same as the dragons that it fought, though it was a little weaker compared to them.

So it decided to kill Zick in a single attack, it didn't use its full lower and held back because it would hurt it's pride in going all out in front of a weaker enemy.

In this breath attack, Zrector used half of its full power, feeling that this would be enough to kill Zick.

Seeing Zick also preparing an attack similar to its own, Zrector felt challenged and disdainful  towards him.

Lowering its mouth, it shooted a beam of red lightning. It got wider and wider as it left its mouth, almost becoming 4 metres wide.

Zrector's body was pushed upwards a little because of the recoil. It flew using one of it's special abilities which was with it since the it was born.

The clouds around him were pushed aside from the air impact of the breath attack.

Zick's vision was totally covered by the gigantic red breath attack.

Opening his mouth, Zick too breathed out deep black flame's. This attack had consumed more than 20% of his overall aura.

Zick's breath attack expanded just like Zrector and got wider. But in the end, it only grew to match 80% of the size of Red breath.

Zick's clothes slowly burnt away from the heat generated from the breath attack. Zick didn't care about his appearance one bit in this situation. Even his eyes were vertical from a while ago.

Even while being stark naked, Zick glared towards Zrector with resolution all over his face.

'This won't be able to stop Zrector's attack....I will need to dodge somehow.'

Zick had recovered a little from the damage done to his mind, but it wasn't enough to help in this situation.

To a mage their mind was a very important thing. The 'will' was a product created by a person's brain, so whenever a person creates a magic their mind goes through pressure.

Exerting too much force upon the mind can also lead to death.

'I can only use magic to the limit in this situation, this will without a doubt worsen my mind's condition, but survival is my top priority. Only by staying alive can I even hope to pursue my ambitions.'

Determination filled Zick, he knew that if the Zrector's attack hit him, either he would die or be gravely injured. Even the dragon scales wouldn't be able to stop it.

Being injured in this situation would lead to his death for sure. He could only persevere with everything he got.

The black and red breath attack came in contact in the middle of the sky.

BOOM!!!!

Two different types of energy clashed violently. Both of these breath attacks were made from elements meant for destruction. This caused a huge explosion enough to blow up many cities at once.

Zick was pushed tens of metres back, he was at least 250 metres above the water so he didn't need to worry of falling into the sea yet.

Zick continues breathing out black flame, slowly his throat starts turning red not being able to withstand the pressure it was put upon.

But after a few seconds, Zick's black breath attack started getting pushed back by the red one

Zrector had increased a little power in his attack seeing Zick's attack being able to stop it.

'Damn!'

Seeing that he couldn't buy any more time, Zick used all the mana that he collected in this time. It didn't even amount to 5% mana needed to cast [Warp].

Zick could only try dodging and try cutting the distance between Zrector somehow. His last hope was to make this fight a close range one. He hasn't tried to go near it while it was preparing for breath attack as he didn't have the confident to dodge a breath attack from close range.

But now, Zick could only try to make this a close range fight because from what he saw till now, Zrector was a very prideful creature, so there was a high chance it would try to crush him using its superior body too. Zick's body was strong, but it couldn't compare to it at all.

There were also the chances of it just using one of its unknown powers and killing off Zick with a single blow feeling disdainful at his action of challenging it using his body.

Zick had no idea what kind of ability Zrector had at all. He was fighting a very disadvantageous battle from the very beginning. But the enemy also does not know that he has a Trump card which could be used in close range battle.

'But if it still continue using the breath attack I will die for sure, I can only take a gamble in this situation...'

A white flame appeared beneath Zick's feet and then he moved to the left side very quickly. He decided to use light element in this situation as that is the fastest.

His body titled, but he continued breathing out black flame while facing upwards.

Zick's head started throbbing like it would explode any moment. He continued bearing with it by clenching his fist tightly.

'I can only keep this up for around 30 seconds, if I continue flying using this white flame. Using it more than that and I wouldn't even have the ability to fly anymore.'

Zick had already gotten used to flying so there was no problem with him balancing himself. But his experience in using it while fighting was almost non-existent, this would put him in another disadvantage while fighting Zrector who must have had many aerial battles till now.

Feeling that the damage to his body had reached a dangerous level, Zick immediately stopped breathing out black flames.

"Cough! cough!" A large amount of blood flew out of his mouth at once.

Ignoring the blood, Zick started rising as fast as he could, directly heading towards Zrector.

Zrector also changed the projectile of its attack and moved it towards Zick.

Using the white flame, Zick kept dodging it using both his superior senses and instincts. He was around 500 metres below Zrector. 10 seconds had went by since he started using the white flame.

Seeing that Zick was heading towards it, Zrector's vertical yellow eyes got filled with immense anger. It stopped using the breath attack, from its experience it knew that using breath attack in close range could increase the chance of hitting the enemy, but....

Zrector wanted to teach a lesson to Zick, it felt that killing him easily was a easy death. It was one of the strongest being in the world, there were only a few instances where it was angered like this.

Most of the people cower in fear in front of it, feeling its presence.

That was how it was supposed to be!

Seeing that Zrector stopped using breath attack, Zick was relieved for a moment. But the very next moment, a dangerous feeling overtook his body.

Zick stopped flying instantly and used the strongest defensive move he had right at this moment.

Dragon scale!

His whole naked body got covered in dark black dragon scales, even his face was not left. He looked like a humanoid monster with black scales all over him right now.

Zick guarded his head using both of his hands.

One second....

Two seconds.....

Three seconds....

'What....? nothings happen-'

"Guhh!"

Without him noticing, Zick's left hand was severed from his body, falling to the ocean. An unknown energy entered his body, ravaging through it.

Using his aura, Zick instantly tried to minimize the damage, but it still spread to his whole shoulder before stopping and staying their.

"Ugh!" Zick gritted his teeth enough to make cracking sounds.

Even Zick couldn't take this amount of pain, His figure started falling rapidly. He couldn't maintain the magic in this pain. He held the place where his arm was severed, after putting the cursed sword back into the space ring.

'Is this how I will die...?'

Even while feeling the pain, Zick could still think putting in a little effort. He knew that if he didn't do anything now, he would die here.

'But what else is there for me to do....?'

Zick had been using all his strength from the beginning.

Zrector was just too strong, even the dragon eyes couldn't tell what hit him just now.

And losing a hand in this situation made his battle strength drop. He still had the cursed sword, but the amount of strength he could put in it would decrease tremendously while using it with a single hand.

Zick remembered one of the abilities he got after totally turning into a dragonoid.

'Awakening...'

Zick was very unwilling to use this ability. But in this situation this was the only thing he could use, after using this ability there will be no more option of retreating.

Zick knew a lot about the ability named awaken used by the demihumans through the novel.

To the half-blooded demihuman, awakening ability was considered to be a trump card that shouldn't be used until their life was at risk.

Though the awakening ability gave immense strength, there was a side effect of losing the mind and going on a rampage in their beastified form in case the person's mind was weak or the blood he inherited was very pure and strong.

This only happens to a few demihuman, but....

'Without a doubt, I will lose my mind after using this ability.....My mind is very weak at this instant and even my bloodline is very strong, I am sure I would have lost my mind even if I was in my top form....'

It took only a few seconds to consider what to do, immense determination passed through his eyes. He had decided to gamble upon his life in the end.

'Sigh....I faced an unprecedented challenge the moment I got a goal that I could give my all to achieve. There are many things that I couldn't experience, I wanted to give up on everything and just go after this supreme goal of eternal life, but my journey might end today in its beginning.....'

'Transmigrating here is my greatest opportunity Because here, I can attain eternal life which would have been impossible on earth.' Zick had a determined expression. A small smile appeared on his face gradually.

'I will give my all in pursuing this goal, even if it means giving up on my life. If not how can I live with myself, how can I give up this chance that I got after coming to this world?'

Zick was suspicious that this might have been caused by the being behind the magic disaster to kill him, but he threw this thought at the back of his head. He didn't have time and he didn't think that a being capable enough to cause a magic disaster like that would be wary of him.

'They could just kill me easily anyway.....' Zick closed his eyes.

"Haaaaaa....." Hot breath left his mouth.

At that instant, for the first time Zick used his awakened ability.
