Chapter 1608 Drakda Is Stronger Than You Think!
-----
After having slain half of the knights, the Knight General pointed his phantasmal sword towards n.o.body else than my own son, the youngest of them all here.
[The [Phantom Dragonoid Dark Knight General] has chosen his opponent!]
[He has chosen to fight Party Member: [Drakda]!]
[Please, Party Member [Drakda], step into the battle arena to fight the Boss.]
"What? This is bulls.h.i.t! You want to fight my son?! Are you insane?! Over my own corpse!" Miranda groaned angrily.
"Yeah this isn"t fair anymore." Benladann nodded.
"Little brother is strong but he"s baby!" Benladra said.
"Hmm, he can"t really fight a boss on his own, right?" Kate nodded.
Everyone was waiting for my own opinion in the matter. I couldn"t help but nod in agreement at the end, although I would love to see his full potential, he was still a newborn child, it was better if he didn"t fight the boss head-on.
"Drakda, you don"t have to fight, don"t worry." I looked at my son. His three heads were just confused.
"RAAR!" However, he slammed the ground with his three tails. "Gaaoo!"
"You want to fight? No, you can"t! You"ll simply get yourself killed!" I told him.
"Grrrhh!" However, he was reluctant.
"No is no!" Miranda said. "Hey Svartalf, can"t these rules be changed or something?"
"I-I mean, you could, but you won"t get the best rewards." Said Svartalf. "Hmm, how about you just let him fight? He"s eager to show you what he can do. If things get too dangerous, I"ll let you break the barrier and just save him."
"But that"s…" Benladann was worried.
"I don"t know if that"s the right thing to do either!" Miranda complained. "Drake?"
"Hmmm… Ugh, fine." I sighed. "Drakda, you may go." I gave him some buffs and an armor of spiritual frost.
"ROAR!"
Drakda got incredibly happy, licking my entire face before running into the selected area, being encompa.s.sed by a phantasmal barrier.
My entire family ended staring at me in utter disbelief.
"Ah, sorry but I just had to let him do it! He wanted to, no?" I tried to convince them.
"Dear, maybe you"re not that good of a father, huh?" Benladann looked at me angrily.
"Why did you do that idiot?!" Miranda cried.
"Papa Drakda"s going to get killed!" Benladra said.
"Hm…" Kate didn"t say anything but looked worried.
"C-Come on! Calm down a bit, haha… Let"s just watch. I left something on him with those buffs and the armor. If push comes to shove, that"ll activate." I said. "For now, let"s trust our youngest. He wants to show off the might of our family."
"Why are you so confident?!" Miranda cried.
"Didn"t you see the level of power he had?" I asked. "His soul is also mostly safe; he developed an ability to protect it naturally through these battles. I don"t want to be a harsh father, so I won"t force him to become strong if he doesn"t want to. But if my son wants to challenge himself, I am n.o.body to deny him that. Every battle he has gone through has made him a little stronger."
"What do you mean with that?" Benladann asked.
"You see, young dragons develop and adapt incredibly quickly to their environment." Svartalf explained. "Especially Divine Dragons, such as Drakda! Just as Drake said, he has already awakened some Divine Abilities by simply fighting! Don"t you see his unweakened potential? The earlier he has experiences in battle, the better for his overall growth."
"I-Is that so?" Miranda wondered. "But even then… Did Benladra and Kate went through the same?"
"I don"t remember? I think so? We did let them fight monsters though." Said Benladann. "Ah, and there was that time, and that other time… Yeah we did, don"t you remember yourself? That time they helped us fight the Scaled G.o.d, and that other time they helped us fight Oberon"s forces in the beach. They were fairly young back then."
"Right, not wrong." Miranda sighed. "But this feels a bit… Well, maybe not. What do you think, girls?"
"Hmm… I am worried about lil" brother." Benladra was worried as the big sister. "I would like to take his spot instead!"
"Maybe we should trust Drakda, he"s strong and mighty, he might win somehow." Said Kate. "I have faith on little brother and papa"s trust on him."
"Well… Let"s see then."
The wives finally calmed down, as the battle was soon about to begin. The knight general walked inside, his big, armored body almost matched Drakda"s size, yet he still had to look up to him. His phantasmal sword overflowing with black flames.
FLASH!
And then, the battle started in a second, his giant body rushing towards Drakda, his sword swinging down towards his necks! Drakda, however, quickly moved forwards, without avoiding the attack, he instead intercepted it with his incredible strength and speed, using both of his claws.
CLAAASH!
An explosion of phantasmal flames and darkness erupted as my son"s claws clashed against the monster"s sword. A second later, his three stinger-pointed tails attacked the knight, powerful piercing strikes made the ground tremble.
The knight evaded the hits as he ran towards the left, my son quickly trying to crush him with his giant claws, failing every time and giving the knight the opportunity to run over his arm, rushing towards his neck to behead him!
"DRAKDA!"
I was about to go break the barrier, but Drakda surprised us. His three heads moved swifter than we imagined, putting themselves below his stomach and evading the slashing attacks. A second later, Drakda"s tails pierced the knight"s body from behind, grabbing him and then pushing him down, pummeling him into the ground.
BAAAM!
"ROOAARR!"
Three of his jaws opened, releasing a triple chaos breath attack. The knight quickly swung their weapon against the breath attack, slicing two of them and blocking them, yet a third beam hit its entire body, blowing it away.
"Gyyeeeargh!"
BOOOM!
The knight"s body was blown away, falling into pieces over the ground, smoke coming out of it. Drakda looked down at the creature and opened his jaws, beginning to eat it…
"Huh?"
We were all left speechless.
It ended faster than we thought.
