My Dragon Beast System

Fight with Gecko (2)

The crowd had cleared a space for Nate and Gecko to battle it out, they arranged themselves in a wide and round format, giving ample space for the two students to battle.

On one end was Gecko, claws extending from his arms and green scales appearing all over his body, he had no weapon on him and it was clear he was ready to duel.

On the other was Nate, with no special transformation, no weapon, and a cocky smile on his face, he had assumed a battle stance and it was becoming apparent that he knew a martial arts fighting technique.

Nate had studied a little bit of martial arts back when he was younger, he knew he was weak and did that to try and make up for his weakness but he had long since stopped training after finding out that he could unlock a beast, he had hopes of unlocking a powerful beast so he saw no point in training.

Just before the match started, Nate made sure to check his system stats so he could get a rough idea of the skills he was going to use and how to use them to win.

“Let us establish some ground rules here, No intentional Killing, Do not attack after your opponent has surrendered, If the match is interrupted the person who interrupts would be expelled from Zurblis, No use of weapons, only Magic and your physical abilities.

Gecko leaped towards Nate, with his claws extended, ready to slash Nate into two, green energy surrounded his claws, merely looking at it, Nate's instincts had told him that the claws were very dangerous.

Nate swerved to the side and Gecko slashed nothing but the air, [DRAGON STRIKE] Nate punched Gecko straight in the face making him fly a few meters back.

“What the fuck, how is that trash so fast? ” A student said, last he had checked a gecko was considered a relatively fast land creature and a tick was nothing more than a mere parasite so everyone wondered how Nate had performed such a feat.

Gecko got back up to his feet immediately, he was surprised that Nate had managed to land a hit on him but he considered it dumb luck.

[-10 DRAGON ENERGY]

[DRAGON ENERGY: 40/50]

[DRAGON ENERGY WOULD BE REPLENISHED AT 3 DRAGON ENERGY PER MINUTE]

‘Looks like I can only use my skills four more times till I run out of energy, I should use this wisely.’ Nate thought.

Unknowingly Nate had been so focused on the System screen obstructing his peripheral vision that he had forgotten about Gecko.

All the hairs on Nate's body stood erect and goose bulbs appeared on his body, it was obvious that something was wrong, he quickly looked above him only to see Gecko with a crazy smile on his face and his claws just inches away from his face.

[DRAGON FLASH], Nate's body blurred and a little explosion occurred at his feet, in a split second he had covered a distance of 5 meters, leaving the crowd shocked.

[-10 DRAGON ENERGY]

[DRAGON ENERGY: 30/50]

[DRAGON ENERGY WOULD BE REPLENISHED AT 3 DRAGON ENERGY PER MINUTE]

“Not only is he surprisingly strong, but now he is fast too? ” Another onlooker from the crowd said, they all expected this fight to be over by now but surprisingly the two opponents were still kicking, and the apparent trash was faring way better than Gecko.

Gecko this time did not give Nate any chance to breathe, using his speed he dashed straight toward Nate.

Nate knew he only had enough Dragon energy for three skills left and at the speed Gecko was rushing towards him, he would ultimately be forced to waste his dragon energy and Fail his first quest.

Nate tried to dodge Gecko's slash which was already approaching his face, but he was way too slow, Gecko slashed his right arm, leading to five claw marks appearing on them and blood dropping from it like a faucet.

[-5HP, you have been hit by poisonous claws, Health points would drop by 2 every minute]

[10 Energy would be consumed every minute to heal you]

Nate groaned in pain, no wonder he was getting a strange feeling from Gecko's claws, they were poisoned and he had stupidly let that poison touch him, but what could he do, it was either that or fail the quest.

Nate tried to dodge but was too slow, Gecko did not let up and continued his onslaught on Nate, Nate tried his best to dodge the claws but he was way too slow to match someone like Gecko who's reflexes where crazy fast.

Nate laid on the floor, all bruised and battered, Gecko had cut him severely and now all he could do was stare at the sky in pain.

“Sir Oluwale, are you not going to end their fight, that trash could die. ” A student said, he honestly did not care about Nate's well being and only said that to test how far the professor would let this fight go, so in case of a duel he would know who to challenge.

“Shut up your mouth and watch child, you might just gain a bit of wisdom if you focus closely. ” Sir Oluwale said with a smile on his face, he knew what Nate was doing and he loved it.

The student was infuriated by Sir Oluwale's response but what could he do, sir Oluwale could wipe him out with a mere thought if he pleased, the student knew this and just shut up, he began to think about his life while watching the fight.

Gecko ultimately grew tired and his claws began reverting back into his body, the scales on his skin disappeared and his previously horizontal pupils which were like that of a lizard returned to normal.

Gecko had used up his energy to transform into his beast state, it was quite an impressive feat for someone his age.

The beast state was a unique state when a host and their beast fused bodies, ultimately causing the human to develop certain beast like features, a simple beast like a gecko granted its user speed enhancement, claws, increased reflexes and a minimal increase in strength.

Usually it took people about a month to master the beast state and Gecko seemed to have mastered it in a day, but his beast state was clearly incomplete, premature and impractical, it could not last long and did not give much of a boost, it was clear Gecko was talented, but he still needed practice.

Gecko turned his back to walk away from the fight, in his mind ye had taught Nate a lesson to never disrespect him again but little did he know he was nothing but a fool.

Gecko could hear the sound of something zooming behind him and before he could turn around, he felt a stinging pain coming from the back of his head which was quickly followed another in his nether regions, the pain had quickly caused him to pass out.

Nate was not a fool, he naturally wanted to wear Gecko out while pretending to be helpless and when the time was right he Dragon flashed to Gecko's back then delivered two punches to critical areas of his body, aiming to take him out instantly and accomplished his mission.

“Did I not tell you that you might gain wisdom? ” Sir Oluwake asked a rhetorical question to the student who had spoken to him before, the student was shocked and kept his mouth closed.

“The winner as we can all see is Nate. ” Sir Oluwale announced and everyone were as silent as they were surprised.
