Reborn as a DRAGON

Chapter 258: The Fight III

The longer the battle raged on, the stronger I felt myself becoming. Even with my high affinity to mana, whenever I used it before, I could still feel that something was wrong, that something was missing the last piece of the puzzle.

Today, as I continued to fight against the Shade, my mind became incomparably clear as I felt the world elements flow through me. I didn't need to command them, no, I didn't even want to. I simply allowed them to manifest through me as all sorts of magical spells and attacks rained on the bastard.

'Yes! This is it! This is what I've been missing!' My eyes lit up in wonder as I continued my battle against my nemesis. Lightning constantly struck him from above, leaving him open to my attacks as I tried to rip off his body into shreds. For some reason, however, whenever I thought I managed to do that, I simply find that what I tore turned into a puff of dark smoke.

"You really are one persistent bastard!" I growled. This time, the Shade did not have the luxury to reply as he was busy defending himself from the barrage of attacks raining down on him from all sides.

"Just give up, you disgusting parasite, it's only a matter of time before I kill you. So spare us the waste of time!" My eyes shone dangerously as I continued to taunt the bastard, hoping he would show more openings in his defenses. Sadly, however, my words did not seem to have any effect on him.

The Shade continued to dodge and block most of my attacks with ease, the ones he couldn't, he directly took on head first, but except for the lightning strikes, most attacks were useless to a certain degree. Still I refused to give up. I knew I needed to find a weakness, something that I could exploit. And that's when I saw it. Although the bastard was acting high and mighty, a small opening was still barely visible in his defense, I might have missed it before, but Inwas getting more and more used to his fighting style, and with the help of the elements, my senses were enhanced to an impossible degree.

And so I decided to seize the opportunity, and reached out inside my soul space for an element I was yet to use. The second I felt it was appropriate I hurriedly summoned a wave of poisonous gas toward him. The purple dragon inside my soul space shuddered with joy as it roared excitedly before following my command. It was all too happy to finally be out. The Shade tried to move away, but it was too sudden, and too late. The gas engulfed him, clashing against his dark mist, and very fast, he began coughing violently. I could see the pain and panic flash through his eyes as he realized what had happened.

"You!"

The poison element was one that I avoided using for multiple reasons, firstly was the poison dragon. The element was too wild, and although I seem to have tamed it, I was concerned about releasing since I was not sure if I could stop it once I've done so. But for now, I did not have much of a choice, I was unable to use my cosmic mana, and the other elements were falling short from ending the bastard, and so I needed something to support the thunder elements. And just as I feared, Its effects were devastating, not just to the Shade but to the surrounding area as well. The ruined ground began to crack even more, and the rocks started to crumble as the poison seeped into the earth.

The Shade's massive body struggled to stand, his body weakened by the poison. I took advantage of his vulnerability and charged at him with all my might. I could feel the rush of adrenaline coursing through my veins as I drew closer and closer.

Finally, I coated my claws with electric elements and directed a blow that sent the Shade flying backward. He crashed into a boulder, and for a moment, everything was silent. The only sound was the hissing of the poison as it continued to spread.

I watched as the Shade struggled to stand once again, his body wracked with pain. It was clear that he was weakening, but he still had some fight left in him. With a roar, he charged at me, with a saddened expression.

I blocked his attack with my claws, but I could feel the force of his blow reverberating through my entire body. We continued to exchange blows, each one more powerful than the last. The poison on the other hand continued to spread, as the ground shook beneath us.

It didn't take long before another chance presented itself to me. The Shade was momentarily distracted by the pain, and his movements slowed down for a split second. With a fierce growl, I twisted my body and used my tail, coating it with electric elements to send him flying through the air.

Once there, and did not hesitate to open my mouth and unleash a massive dragon breath, scorching the despicable bastard mid-air, before his body was sent crashing into the side of the mountain with a deafening thud, and the ground shook so violently that I almost lost my balance. The poison continued to spread, and the air was thick with the scent of death.

I stood there for a moment, catching my breath and trying to regain my composure. The Shade lay motionless on the ground, and for a moment, I thought he was dead. But then, I saw his chest rise and fall, and I knew that the battle was far from over.

"Oh, you fucker, can you just die already!" I growled in annoyance before hurling multiple ice spears at him. A few successfully impaled him to the ground while the rest bounced harmlessly off his body. It seemed like he still had that aura as a shield against the elements, although very weakened by the looks of it.

Lightning ate away at his shield, while poison was the final blow. I quickly closed my eyes and reached out to the spreading poison elements, if left unchecked I was afraid it would completely destroy the plane. It was spreading fast after all and seemed to be forgetting the objective.

I mentally commanded the elements to move back, and for a second, they seemed to hesitate before begrudgingly following my instructions. The poison elements all gathered into a singular point, forming the vague outline of the feisty poison dragon before they shot toward the shade.

I summoned a few lightning bolts just to be safe as well and watched as everything crashed onto the shade.

"Die already!"
