It took 3 whole days for Kay to make some progress while feeling his Qi. After that, it took him over a week to actually learn on how to use the energy in his spells."Faster!" His mentor screamed, making the youth wince. It took at the very least 10 seconds to cast a single spell this way. The process of casting was easier when he simply burned through his reserves, but now he had to feel the vibration and then calculate the exact percentage of power he was going to expend on both Qi and Jing.After some trial and error, he yelled: "How the fuck am I going to do this with your screaming?!""That's right, sorry 'bout that!" The flower demon then fell into a deep silence that was interrupted a few seconds later. "You're doing it wrong."Kay huffed and proceeded to glare at his own hand. "Tell me something I don't already know."The Flower Demon sighted. It was true that the kid's awareness was awful, but this was in a whole other league."Hey… what am I doing it wrong?" He asked, think
"Damn…" The Flower Demon cursed, feeling more and more overpowered. Not only he needed all his strength to keep his brother at bay, the vessel he was using was starting to lose a lot of blood, courtesy of the gaping wound on his center."ROOARRGHT" The creature forced itself out of it's binds and tried to cut the opponent in half.After sidestepping, it gave it's brother a good look. While Long always had black armor-like scales and used a massive sword, made of they're mother tooth, it's usually kind blue eyes now glowed a demonic red. Along with it came the cuts and bruises that it sported and all the blood that poured out of said scars, which showed how much it had been fighting over the centuries.The human-like dragon forced it to stop musing by shooting beams of pressurized water. Such thing was so fast and powerful that it completely pierced the Flower Demon body.It fell down, it's blue blood seeping out of his wounds as the dragon used his sword to pierce its chest.However,
"Shit… fuck!" Kay punched a wall on the second floor, right after throwing up. He never felt so shaken, not even with what happened back on his childhood. "THAT was Long?! How the hell am I suppose to fight that?!"His cries went answered, since some plants went with him. They were clearly young, so little that they would be considered infants in human years. A lot of them looked at him without understanding what was happening, but one had a more unique look on its face."You will have to…" It said, with a voice resembling a child in a cave. It was a bit clueless and cute, but had a unique echo to it. "Father will not survive this fight.""Great… why does these things keep happening to me." Kay sighted, and then looked at the boss doors. He was already out of range from the third floor entrance, but he still could feel the pressure. "He better win.""He won't.""Yeah, but he better turn this situation around. I don't care how!" His knuckles tightened, showing his anger and despair. No
Kay ignored the plants. The clueless idiots were trying to cheer him up, but for the past 2 days, they had little to no success.One of them fell on his lap and eyed the youth with big, cute eyes. Kay only stared back with is blank stare, remembering his master words. His wisdom and training.He shook his head.'Accept it… you lost. Just like it always had been, like it will always be… your efforts will never amount to anything important.'He unconsciously begun to pat the plant, remembering each time he fell down. No matter the challenge, since he entered here, he always got up, but…This was different. He knew he couldn't even begun to comprehend his master's entire power, and he had to defeat someone even stronger than it…"Y'er already giving up?" His attention was grabbed by the gruff voice of the blacksmith, whom looked at him with deep sadness. "Never thought that exhibitionist would form a bond so strong…""He was a weirdo, but…" His face betrayed a myriad of emotions. Anger,
How long was he in this state?Long felt each fiber of his being crying as his energy was sucked out of him. There was also the scorching heat and the acid, that was beginning to eat him away.He kept slashing and hacking the insides of the trap, with no success whatsoever.However, while it was true that such trap kept sucking his life force, things weren't this clear for the dragon on a long time.It's been centuries since his last thought crossed his mind. That was thanks to the pain he was put through, one so terrible that made his mind shut down, lest it'll be destroyed.After he gathered his thoughts, he noticed how not only was the trap keeping him at bay, it was also lessening his pain… slowly, but surely, his mind was clouded no more.This then made he realize where he was, and what happened earlier… and then, an overwhelming guilt spread in through his entire body."What… what have I done…"He asked himself, eyeing the acid that was his brother blood, as well as the green tha
Kay took his distance and looked at his opponent, who waited his next action. Drawing runes in the air, Kay marveled at how easy it was to control his Qi now, comparing to how he was when he begun.After drawing each, he shoot enormous fireballs at his opponent, who raised his hand and concentrated a large amount of water in it. Both attacks connected, and steam erupted.Kay used this to his advantage, moving himself towards the left, hoping to catch his opponent surprised.However, it wouldn't be so easy, for he didn't knew that the dragon could feel his Mana, something that he found out when the monster intercepted him and tried to cut his neck, which he only dodged thanks to his reflex training.This led him to do a back flip to survive a low slash and then trying to use the Ashwinder to cut his opponent.The attack connected, which resulted in the scales being burned and cut. Before he could do more damage, however, water erupted from below Long, which created a column of liquid t
Long eyed the little stones, but paid them no mind. He was almost winning, just one second more and he would taste that human's blood.He was about to cut Kay's neck, when he made a sign with his left hand and flickered out of his sword reach.Next thing he saw was a blinding light, followed with a stupidly high pitch sound.He roared as he was engulfed in darkness once again, but this time, it was his senses that were suffering. In his moment of confusion, Kay flickered and stabbed his chest with the Ashwinder.His stomach was burned and cut in in pieces. Just before he had his neck pierced by the cutlass, a pillar of water erupted out of the ground.He doubled over, the pillar losing height as he puked blood."Curse you!" He sent missiles of water towards all directions. Even if he could feel Mana, the shock of the explosion left his senses all fuzzy, so he couldn't do anything.Kay flickered out of his reach and then sheathed the Ashwinder. Taking the cutlass and making a small sli
Kay eyed the dragon, the despair slowly taking over him. There, in the sea that was created, he felt like he was face to face with a god.Long slowly begun to descend until his feet touched the water surface. Then, Kay noticed the ice that was slowly expanding from there, taking over the surface."Fuck." He begun to swim away, desperately holding into any hope to still survive. He forced more strength into his legs and arms as the cold slowly approached.In his mind, a million images begun to play. Images of his childhood, and the scarring pain that came with them."No… Mother, no!" He cried out, the cold completely encapsulated him, only letting his head out. "Please… I'll be a good boy… don't… punish… me…"He fainted as the cold crept in his bones…Only to feel something warm enveloping him.---The dragon eyed his foe with interest, the question that begun to plague his mind was: what was he talking about?In his mind, all mothers were lovely and saint-like beings. He just didn't u
