Black Clover: The Son of Fire Dragon Igneel

Chapter 495: SFDI - 495

After seeing Raizen, Drake couldn’t help but think of the phrase "a lamp that was about to run out of oil."

No wonder the youkai outside had wanted to stop Drake from getting close to this place, Raizen’s weakness was visible at a glance.

But even a tiger had a majestic presence when it fell, and besides, Raizen wasn’t dead yet right now, and that intimidating aura had still given Drake goosebumps.

Raizen had raised his head, and had instead revealed a smile after looking at Drake, saying, "An unfamiliar face, huh! And you’re actually a human!"

Drake had opened his mouth, saying, "Let me introduce myself, my name is Drake, and I’m a traveler. I’ve come here specifically to see you this time!"

Raizen’s lips had curled up, saying, "You’ve not only come to see me once, right, your disappointment after seeing me is too obvious."

Drake had been stunned, opening his mouth, saying, "That’s really impolite. Although I had known long ago that your state was very bad, I still couldn’t help but have some emotions that I shouldn’t have after really seeing it."

Raizen had laughed loudly, and had then said, "I’m the same! If I had run into you seven hundred years ago, we definitely could have become fighting friends.

It’s a pity that as you can see, it’s already hard for the current me to even stand up."

Drake had thought for a bit, walking before Raizen, sitting down. Taking out all kinds of things from his ring, Drake had piled them between the two.

"Try these things! See if there’s anything inside that’s helpful to you."

Raizen had straightened his body, looking at Drake’s eyes, saying, "They’re all things that I haven’t seen before, so they should all be rare goods!

So why are you helping me, someone like you shouldn’t need me to repay you for anything, right!"

Drake had said without backing down, "If you’re talking about repayment, then come and have a fight with me if you can recover!"

Raizen’s laughter had rung out again, and his voice had even drowned out the rumbling sounds within his abdomen.

"You’re actually helping your opponent recover their power, huh! Hahaha, you really are a rare fighting friend!"

There were actually a lot of S rank youkai in the demon world, and even among the upper S rank great youkai, there weren’t only the current leaders of the three great forces.

What was interesting was that most of those great youkai who had been living in seclusion were Raizen’s old friends, which were the fighting friends that he had talked about.

As the name implied, those people were all the ones with whom Raizen had formed a deep friendship with through fighting.

But they had also all lived in seclusion after Raizen had refused to eat.

Raizen hadn’t expected that he would run into a fighting friend like Drake, whose strength and personality had both been to his liking, at this time again.

So he hadn’t been polite, sending the things that Drake had placed on the ground into his mouth one by one.

Among them were potions and materials that Drake had gotten in other worlds, and there were also medicines that Drake had made by combining the technologies and materials of different worlds.

The most important use of these medicines to Drake was to brush the experience value of his [Mystery] development ability, and Drake had sincerely hoped that they would be useful to Raizen.

Spirit power or youkai power, in Drake’s view, was a system whose potential wasn’t any weaker than the other worlds.

If he couldn’t have a fight with someone like Raizen, who had walked to the peak on this path, before leaving, this trip would really be a huge loss.

After drinking a potion that had been slightly turbid, Raizen’s movements had stopped for a bit, and then the youkai aura on his body had suddenly become intense, and even the muscles on his body had visibly expanded a bit, and even his hair had become glossy.

"The potion is effective!"

This had been Drake’s first thought, and he had also remembered what potion Raizen had drunk just now.

The main material of that potion had been a plant that had been collected in the Purgatory of the Seven Deadly Sins world. It was a fruit that had grown out from the corpses of Purgatory creatures.

Drake had combined it with several other materials, concocting this potion that could replenish both life and soul energy at the same time.

But to Drake, it had just been a tonic that had a good effect, and he had left it in his ring to gather dust because he hadn’t used it.

It wasn’t worth being surprised that this potion, whose name Drake had even been too lazy to make up, was useful to Raizen, and Drake had immediately taken out all of the stock that he had on hand.

Raizen hadn’t been pretentious either, downing the potions that Drake had taken out one bottle after another.

To be honest, the hard-to-describe taste was also one of the reasons why these potions had been left over, but Raizen had swallowed them without even wrinkling his eyebrows.

After drinking the last bottle, Raizen had closed his eyes.

The rumbling sounds that had been ringing for hundreds of years had stopped, but an even bigger commotion had appeared right after.

Raizen hadn’t made any movements, and hadn’t said anything either, and had only been sitting there with his eyes closed. But the youkai aura that had been soaring into the sky had made the weather even begin to change.

Hokushin, who had been battling Stella, had had a feeling of despair at the instant that the rumbling sounds in Raizen’s abdomen had disappeared, and he couldn’t help but think that Drake had killed their king, taking advantage of his weakness.

But then the youkai aura that had been soaring into the sky had instantly made him jump from hell to heaven.

No matter what it was like now, the reason why he had chosen to follow Raizen at the start had been because of his power.

And right now, the Fighting God whom he had been willing to follow was back!

In his agitation, he had even forgotten that he had still been battling. Stella naturally wouldn’t take action at this time either, and had also looked towards the direction of the tower.

Boom!

One side of the stone fort had exploded, and two figures had flown out from within, flying towards the deserted wilderness in the distance, one after the other.

A large patch of forest had been directly leveled by the impact from the two landing.

Raizen had patted his abdomen, saying, "I haven’t felt the feeling of filling this guy for who knows how long, and I have to thank you for it, Drake!

As repayment, I won’t be showing any mercy next."

Drake had also moved his wrists, saying, "That’s what I want, I’m burning up!"

In the next instant, the two’s arms had collided together.

Drake’s sleeves and the bandages that Raizen had been coiling around his wrists had shattered at the same time, and the two had also retreated out.

After this strike, the two could also be considered to have a good idea of their opponent’s level.

So the two had charged towards each other again, and four arms had been tangling together in a dazzling manner.

The two had only been trading simple attacks and defenses, but they had stirred up a storm. Even the ground had been scraped off a layer forcefully.

Drake had accurately grabbed an opportunity, grabbing Raizen’s wrist, but Raizen had also pressed down on Drake’s forearm at the same time.

At the same instant, the two had made the same choice, using their heads to slam over.

With a bang, the two had retreated several steps at the same time.

Raizen’s path was almost exactly the same as Yusuke Urameshi’s, but the way that it had been displayed was completely different.

Among the many opponents that Drake had encountered, Raizen’s zeal for battle and battle intuition were among the best.

And Raizen also didn’t have any flashy moves, and had only perfectly attached youkai power to every attack.

Drake knew how Raizen had gotten the title of Fighting God, and his strength was definitely not just the youkai power that could be quantified with numbers, but was instead his battle quality.

But this kind of opponent was what had made Drake feel that this trip hadn’t been in vain.

"Raizen, is your state still good? The battle next is going to be a bit more intense!"

Raizen had said with a smile, "Don’t say silly things, I haven’t felt this energetic for a long time, and I wouldn’t agree even if you said that you wanted to stop now!"

The two had smiled at each other, and flames and youkai aura had surged out at the same time, each occupying half of the sky.
