Adventures of the last Wild Dragon

Chapter 240 240: The Power of old Monsters

As Violet fell to the floor a flash of purple light enveloped her, they had agreed to all fight in their true form, opting to use their full capabilities right from the get go and hold nothing back. At least Violet and Rhyana had both opted to fight in their true form, Luna however, had chosen to remain in her oringal form, still more used to fighting as a beastkin than as a true beast.

A loud thud rang out as Violet landed in a small explosion of earth, this was soon joined by a powerful roar that silenced the distant cries of beasts as Violet unleashed her draconic aura.

This was soon joined by two additional roars that rang out, one was of similar power as Violet's own, the second one however, that belonging to Vithrax positively radiated an ancient power that filled the girls will a burning strength.

Every dragons aura held a slightly different power, Violet's gave a general boost in endurance and stamina, Rhyana's seemed to focus on bolstering speed and agility. Vithrax's however, his aura boosted the physical power of all whom it effected that was considered an ally. Conversely the opposite effect afflicted any foes that heard the call.

So the turtle was beset by 3 afflictions right from the start of the fight.

Still that alone was not enough to deter this beast from advancing on the group, its twin eyes burning with their respective colours. The orange eyes head once more snapped its jaws shut as it glared in Luna's direction, she lept backwards on instinct yet was clipped by the edge of the spatial attack.

It managed to tear a shallow gash down one of Luna's arms eliciting a short cry of pain from Luna and a growl of rage from Violet.

In the next moment a barrage of magical attacks flew forth, the beast momentarily stunned by the shear volume of attacks heading its way. Still it was not a powerful beast for nothing, a shimmering blue barrier appeared before it managing to last long enough so as to block the vast majority of attacks heading its way.

Olivia had charged forwards by now, her new shield radiating powerful nature mana as she slammed it into the front leg of the best the moment that its shield dispersed. Vines shot forth from the ground to entangle the limb, sharp thorns digging into the thick leathery skin of the beast.

At the same time Vithrax had circled around the beast, he unleashed a wave of fire that crashed into the side of the turtle eliciting a cry of pain from the creature.

The blue head then snapped down to try and bite at Olivia, only to have a void spear slam into the side of the head and explode, causing the trajectory of the head to be changed just enough for Olivia to step out of the way.

Susan had also waisted no time, instantly tending to Luna's wound whilst a film of water covered Olivia's shield at the same time. Luna then also moved in, she took a step and appeared on the opposite side from Vithrax, her illusions spreading out from her a moment later, each one wielding a long halbard that they stabbed forth with vicious speed.

The turtle weathered the onslaught, its tail lashing out to collide with two of Luna's illusions and instantly shattering them. Meanwhile the orange head once more snapped its jaws shut, this time aimed at Vithrax.

The red dragon was a moment too slow to respond to the attack, and received a vicious wound to his flank, it looked like a large bite had been taken out of his flesh and blood poured out of the fresh wound.

Violet was pulling double duty, she didn't bother with void bolts, knowing that they would do limited damage. Instead she focused on her void cannon, steadily building its power as she simultaneously crafted void runes underneath the beast. She also sent the occasional spear out when the opportunity presented itself.

At first the void runes stayed inactive, yet when the turtle tried to move out of its encirclement the runes all flashed to life in a purple flash. Thick spears of void stabbed upwards, managing to pierce straight through its more vulnerable underside.

However, instead of being deterred from escaping the group it doubled down instead. Mana bang gathering around the blue eyed head, till in a flash of cobalt light a immense force washed out from the beast.

The wave of power hit Luna, Olivia and Rhyana who had just arrived at its rear. Everyone impacted was sent flying backwards, they crashed into trees and dirt several meters away from the beast, momentarily stunned from the force of the attack.

Only Violet and Vithrax remained in fighting shape and the orange head swiveled to face Violet once again. Her void cannon was almost ready to cast yet the distinctive snapping of jaws forced her to blink away. Yet she failed to remember that her blink spell was related to the space afinity.

How could a being of space not be able to pierce through a spatial skill. Violet was thrown out of her blink as the spatially enhanced jaws of the beast tore through her chest, a large chunk of flesh had been torn out as a couple of bones had been broken from the singular attack.

The shock of pain caused her almost complete void cannon to fizzle out as Violet staggered back from the pain.

Vithrax, who watched that happen felt a surge of long forgotten rage build up, he remembered failing his ward, the anguish that had claimed his spirit for so many years. The nearly forgotten sense of duty that he once wore as a badge of honour.

Something snapped within him at that moment as he watched the child of his ward be injured.

Flames erupted from his entire body, searing waves of heat hurt everything in a 5 meter radius of him. Even the dirt itself charred over whilst the branches and trees instantly caught fire and burned down to wonders in meer moments.

Vithrax's presence surged to newfound heights and the ancient dragon shot forward with devastating force.

The turtle sensed the sudden head and sense of danger, it tried to turn itself towards the threat yet was a moment too late.

The red dragon impacted with the side of the beast in a resounding clash. The giant turtle was lifted up as Vithrax dug his claws into the underbelly of the beast, the nearby orange head turned to face him and snapped at his neck.

It suffered vicious burns from the intense flames yet persisted through and managed to clamp down on the thick scaled neck. Blood began to flow as scales cracked under the intense pressure of the bite, yet Vithrax was not to be deterred, a sea of flames erupted from the ground all around him causing the blue head to let out a scream of pain.

Vithrax capitalised on that by managing to slip his neck out of the bite, then bring his own head around to directly face the twin heads of the turtle.

Heat built up from the chest of Vithrax, climbing up his throat before errupting out and bathing the turtles heads in devastating flames.

A distorted cry of pain range out for an eternal moment as the flames continued to burn.

Eventually though the flames died out and the girls could once more see what had transpired in the clash of the two powerful beasts.

Standing wounded but proud was Vithrax, deep wounds weeped blood from his flank and neck yet his head was held high as he unleashed a victorious roar. On the ground below him lay the charred corpse of the once mighty twin headed turtle. It's two heads now resembling burnt sticks of meat whilst its shell seemed to have melted near the heads from the intense heat.

The girls watched the scene with awe, or at least Rhyana, Olivia and Violet did. Luna had rushed over to Violet and was already covering her wound in a layer of ice whilst Susan had approached Vithrax to begin the process of healing him.

All of them were then greeted with the welcome message from the system.
