"Hopefully you"ll prove to be a challenge." Nightin said as his wings kicked off a hurricane this time, he veiled himself within the wind as he thought to himself, his combat strength is still much stronger compared to the first time he fought Gwen but...
"Try me and you"ll understand." Dave dashed forwards with his sword as Nightin did the same, but he brought about the hurricane into his attack as the two swords collided against each other in the air.
When the two swords struck each other, Nightin felt a strong force pus.h.i.+ng against him and he was sent flying backwards while Dave kept his steady stance and followed through the whole move. Making full use of his tall stature to bring out the most of her strength.
This is bad, the strength difference between them is just way too much. It isn"t possible for him to defeat a dragon cultivator around ten thousand years of age.
Glacier thought to himself as the words his father said once popped into his mind "The sword is merely a weapon he"s weaker with, it will only mean annihilation when he reveals his claws..."
Dave held the supreme t.i.tle of the leader of the Pyre knights, one of the ten strongest dragon armies among their whole clan.
No one may remember him, but he was the number one genius back then, a Great Dragon Saint at the young age of sixteen, the one who crushed one of the current existing Overlords when he was younger.
Time may have caused his lifespan to go on a decline and his claws to go rusty, but his natural instincts for combat would never be polished off by time alone.
Dave didn"t let the chance slide past him as he made an overhead slash without any forewarning.
"Sky Piercer!"
A stab formed by scalding water flew towards Nightin at a rapid speed as it sent splashes of water towards him.
Forming some feathers with his Order and Chaos wings to attack the impending scalding water, while he evaded to the right and dodged the energy slash while circling to Dave"s back.
When the feathers and scalding water made contact with each other, they were evenly matched and neither side gained an advantage.
"It"s no use, you won"t understand just what it means to he a Half Sword Sage." Dave stated calmly as fire energy condensed tens of swords in an instant to block his attack.
Thousands of blade energies gathered in the air and combined into one gigantic broadsword. The broadsword looked simple and its only unique trait was it gigantic size, but the feeling of danger it was giving off, Nightin had only felt it once... When he first fought against the Infernal Stallion...
The sword caused the surrounding particles in the air to vibrate and gave way, that resulted in the particles being too packed.
The walls couldn"t withstand the impact and even started to rubble and break apart, lines started to spread without any forewarning and the lava which had calmed down, came to alive again as a lion made of flames entered the battle.
The lion walked out as it took slow steps, but its prideful mane showed that it wasn"t just a male, it was the a lion with strength that stands above others.
Its flames actually overwhelmed the heat of the lava here, evaporating the scorching heat as what"s left below them was pure molten rock which actually cooled down instantly.
Nightin kept his wings and landed on the ground, the swords of Life and Death which goes by the name Order and Chaos respectively, had joined him by the side as they circled around him.
Dave meanwhile, had already landed and surrounded him from both sides alongside his blazing lion which was behind his back.
"Fiery Water Roar!" A beam wave of energy shot out from Dave"s sword as they dashed towards Nightin who had to face a charging lion pouncing on him.
Leaping up at the exact moment the beam was going to hit him, he leaped and dodge the attack but the blazing lion was already waiting in place for him.
It was a combination attack in which the lion would delay its last attack by just that split breath, waiting for the prey to make a move and make itself vulnerable.
d.a.m.n it, Nightin slashed his sword forwards as it reflected the lion"s heavy body away from him, but the impact knocked him backwards towards the second energy wave from the sword.
Making use of his Order and Chaos swords, he formed a cross with them and blocked off the attack, but his sword had lost their energy as they retreated back into his body.
Just like that, waves of beams were being constantly emitted from the gigantic sword and they would always cause him to end up with an injury.
Scorching flames may not affect him much, but the heat and burn was starting to get to him and was influencing his performance.
Landing on the ground again, he started to pant heavily. His robes were tattered and his hair laid in a mess behind his head, his sword was stabbed onto the molten rock ground and minor cuts covered his whole body.
"Human, at least you made it out of the first combination attack of my sword"s true form coupled with the ability of a Half Sword Sage with his battle beast joining the fray." Dave said as a beam of energy started to charge up again.
"I"m sorry, but I have my obligations to fulfill."
