Chapter 695: Viola (3) Part III

“Woah, a dragon boss can get this strong when she signs a contract with Vincent?”

Lucius could barely dodge it. The beam that Sarquros shot out burned the ground to a crisp!

Lucius quickly flew up. Of course, the dragon was more than willing to do an aerial fight and follow him right away. Sarquros shot more beams at Lucius’s back. Even though he could not see them, he still dodged them very easily.

Once it was time, Lucius flipped back and faced her. He shot Sarquros’s wing and she flipped to the side to evade. The red-haired beast scoffed.

The more they fought, the more Lucius learned that this dragon’s movement was not ordinary. It was as if every move was copied from Wisana. Maybe she also had the ‘Impulse’ like he did.

“A dragon that possesses a Signetic? This is not funny.”

He clicked his tongue and changed his flying direction abruptly. The dragon girl had to follow him. Even though Lucius was faster, she was certain that her attack could take him down!

Lucius decided to run away from Sarquros like a madman. The ruby-red eyes glanced back as if there was a plan in his mind.

“We’ll see if you can dodge this.”

Then, he flew up in a straight line and left hundreds of small energy balls along the way. Once he saw that the dragon was following his trail, he called a big energy ball up in his hand. It glowed so brightly like the sun.

Only that, being a hundred times more sensitive than human’s eyes, the dragon closed her eyes and roared loudly. Her sight was crushed and she could not slow down in time. That was why Sarquros flew into the bomb trail. The damage was so much that she was in so much pain.

“Don’t you think the AI who wants to control the Signetic is too much?”

Lucius was on Sarquros’s back without her even realizing it. The red eyes looked at her wings and grinned while the girl was still struggling to fly.

“You’re a flying dragon, right?” Lucius said.

“Don’t do it, Lucius...” Wisana muttered.

“What would a dragon be without wings?”

“No, Lucius, don’t do it...”

“You should know who you are and go back to the ground. An AI shouldn’t dare to go against the world like me, remember that!!”

Slash!!

In the blink of an eye, Lucius called up his magic sword and cut her wings off so easily. The pain got the dragon girl roaring so loudly. Now that she did not have wings anymore, her giant body fell to the ground fast.

At that moment, Lucius parted himself from her before he gathered his magic on his palm and formed a powerful spear.

His ruby-red eyes stared at Sarquros. Hesitation was not in his mind at all. He raised the spear up only a little and threw it at the dragon!!

“The fifth one.”

ROARRRR!!

The roar was so loud that Wisana opened his eyes so widely. The dragon girl was stabbed in the middle and her blood splattered everywhere. She tried to force herself to fight back, but the wound was too fatal.

Now, the dragon girl was lying on the ground. Her breathing was slowing down. It was clear how much her HP was drained.

Seeing that, Lucius, who was still in the sky, scoffed.

“So tough, this dragon. Then, I’ll just finish it now!”

Then, he pointed his finger at the dying Sarquros. The red beam slowly gathered on his palm. This time, it was so powerful that even Sarquros would not make it.

“Stop it, Lucius, you bastard!!!”

Wisana screamed and flew up as fast as a bullet, even though every part of his body was pierced by magic swords. That was not the problem!

“Wow... You can still fight? I must admit that your mentality is really something, Vincent.”

The magic in his hand disintegrated. He decided to fight the ill-mannered boy instead.

“Don’t mess with my dragon!!”

Then, a fist was thrown at Lucius. Normally, a hit like this would work, but this was Lucius. He only leaned back and the fist missed him. It was as if this man could read into the future!

“You have to learn your lessons, Vincent. Have you ever heard that people who don’t learn from pain can only be fools?!!”

He kicked Wisana’s neck so hard that Wisana almost blacked out. Lucius squeezed the boy’s neck so tightly and dragged him down to the ground!!

Crash!!!

3,852,300

The impact created a big hole. Smoke was everywhere. Lucius slowly pushed himself up, while lifting Wisana up by the neck with one hand. He tardily walked out of the pit and looked at Sarquros, who was breathing very softly. The dragon slowly turned back to its human form. She was unconscious.

“The bad thing about making a contract is being more like a human. Being a dragon is strong enough, why did you even do this to yourself?”

He muttered and walked towards Viola, relaxed. He could lift Wisana off the ground very easily. Viola’s amber eyes shone with anger.

“Is this your hope, Viola?” Lucius asked when he reached her. “In the end, the dirty blood of Winter and the meaningless genetic modifying, he turned out to be only a poor boy who doesn’t know anything.”

“...You!” Viola growled.

That voice slowly woke Wisana up again. Wisana opened his eyes and the pain ran through him so brutally. His lips were pressed tightly. He turned to look Lucius in the eye.

“Y... You... Lucius.” He gritted his teeth, not sure if it was because of the pain or anger.

“Huh, I see you’re still conscious. As expected of the full-grown Signerater. I really want to know what your brain is made of, kid.”

“...W... What are you talking about?” Wisana gritted his teeth and tried to get the restraint off his neck. However, when he moved, he realized that the bones of his arms were all fractured.

Hearing that, Lucius grinned before he chuckled.

“I don’t know if I should pity or feel sorry for you.” He smiled and forced Wisana to look at Viola on the ground.

“You know this woman, right, Vincent?” Lucius asked.

“....”

Wisana could only grit his teeth as he did not know what he was trying to say.

“You know her as Viola, I assume?” He said.

“...Don’t, Lucius.” Viola’s voice shook.

“Hey, what are you scared of, Viola? It’s come this far. Let’s be fair. Be a grown-up and stop hiding things from this poor boy.”

Lucius laughed as if what he was about to say was the funniest thing in the world.

“..D... Don’t say it, Lucius.”

“I... It’s okay, auntie.” Wisana smiled. “I don’t care if you’re Baron or Viola. You are you. Don’t give in to this prick.”

Hearing Wisana, Viola gritted her teeth even tighter. The twenty years of guilt that she had been keeping gushed out of her heart so much that she almost went mad. Lucius let out loud laughter and patted Wisana’s head so harshly as if he was pitying him, or maybe feeling sorry for him.

“You’re such an optimistic, kid.” He said. “But you said that you didn’t care, right? Okay, then, let’s see what it’s like under that mask.”
