"Customs... "
"Cumlature... "
The sound of our swords clashing against each other continuously clang into this desolate mine filler. I continued to launch attacks on the dragon, but it could always be held back easily. Instead, I who had been holding all of his attacks, suffered quite severe injuries.
"It seems. This is about to end, "my words with breathless breath. It seemed like stamina had almost reached its limit, instead the dragon did not look exhausted at all. That fight has been running for about 1 hour but I still haven't found a way to defeat it.
" Fuck, why is he so strong.. "
The dragon again launched its attack, this time throwing a pointed ice blade at me. With the rest of my energy I repelled the attack, but due to fatigue one of the ice blades did not have time to catch a fist and ended up stuck on my left shoulder.
"Aghh..". "terminated, because the attack was over, my stamina was exhausted, I was sitting limp.
The dragon prepared to make its last attack, he raised his spear and threw it at me.
Because the injury I received was severe enough, and also did not have the stamina to move. I who have resigned to this fate can only close my eyes, while waiting for death to pick me up.
"....... "
"....... "
I don't know what's going on but I don't seem to have died stuck in that spear. When I opened my eyes, I was shocked because the time around me had stopped, and the dragon was frozen along with the spear that stopped in front of me.
"Well.wa. although time stalled like this, I no longer had the energy to escape." I said pessimistically.
"Drab.. "
"Drab.... "
There were footsteps from the entrance of the mine.
"Drab.. "
"Drab... "
The sound was getting closer, as I looked at the source of the sound. In front of me stood a woman wearing armor and a robe.she had long hair in half white and black, her armor and robes also had the same motif. He also looks to have the same tail and horns as the dragon race, but what distinguishes him is that he only has one right wing on his back.
"Why is an immature person like you daring to challenge a dragon, such a fool. " Said with a cold look.
"Ughh. such because of his own selfishness, after hearing a little story from a friend. I want to uncover the truth in this world. " I said while enduring the pain.
"That's how it is. a seeker of truth. But you know, determination is not enough to solve the problem. "
"I know, but if only with determination could I save many, I would not hesitate to sacrifice my life."
"An interesting answer, "Said the woman while pointing her hand towards me, out of her hand came a light that healed a slight wound on my body . It seems like he used healing magic, now I have stamina again to fight.
"I will see how far such determination will last in this world.." he pointed towards my sword.
"I'll give you a little bit of my strength. " After saying that, a ball of light formed in his palm. He then threw the ball of light at me, when it entered my body, I could feel the power overflowing from my body.
"Make me more impressed with you, and I will give you all my strength. "
The woman said as she walked away and disappeared. I who had already gained a bit of my stamina back, immediately stood up and walked dodging the spear.
Shortly after changing position, time went back. The spear that had stopped in front of me now shot back and hit the wall of the mine, making the hole quite large.
"I don't think you can still live, " said the dragon with a slightly surprised face.
"Of course, I won't lose here" I said as the horses prepared for the second round.
The dragon called back the spear he had thrown and prepared to attack again.
The dragon again let out an ice blade attack towards me, but with my new strength I could easily dodge it. The dragon then continued his attack, he raised his hand and appeared a blade of ice blade from the floor and the roof of the mine towards me.
"There seems to be a good time to test that power, "
I also used the power that the woman gave me.
"Time Freeze." Instantly the time around me came to a standstill, I immediately moved forward while dodging the attack of the dragon ice blade.
3..2..1..
"it's time... " I said as I swung my sword preparing to make an attack on the dragon. The dragon prepared to counterattack using his spear.
We both sped forward, we swung the weapon at the same time. As our weapons were about to clash, I used the time freeze once again to change the direction of my attack. My plan was successful, the dragon did not expect me to change the direction of the attack, I launched an attack from behind.
"Taste this!!!!.."
"Srakk.. "
My attack hit the dragon right on his back, the dragon fell limp. After I finished defeating the dragon, I wanted to rush back to the city to report it, but... .
"Uhuk.. hukk.". " arrived from my mouth a lot of blood.it seems to be a side effect of the use of that power, because of the wounds I received earlier and the side effects of my new strength, it seems, I also became weak and fell unconscious.
"Bag-. this-state-.. "
"Tolo-help-in... "
I heard the voice of Yukka and Anastasia. But I still don't have the strength to wake up.
............
When I woke up, I was already in a room with Yukka sleeping next to my bed. It seems they found me and brought me back.
Before long Yukka woke up from her sleep and saw me who was awake, she looked a little crying and then hugged me.
"Nian!!!. I pi-kir you are dead." said Yukka in tears.
Hearing Yukka's cry, Anastasia stood guard outside and immediately entered to see the situation.
"Wake up too you Nian, we're very worried about you. "
"Ahh. Sorry to worry you guys. "
I saw my body with a lot of bandages. Out of curiosity what happened after fainting I asked Anastasia.
"So what happened after I passed out?. "
"That's why, fearing you won't return, Lam and Yukka followed. When they reach they find you unconscious. "
"Is there a dragon there..? "
"From the reports I received from Yukka and Lam, there was no one else but you there, but we found the inside of the mine turned into an ice cave. "
"So yes... "
"So have you met him?. "
"You mean??. "
"Blue roaring dragon, Aurora. "
I was surprised by Anastasia's statement, I knew she was from the dragon race, but I didn't think she was Anastasia's younger sister.
"Yes, I went to see her. I was about to lose, but suddenly came a woman from the dragon race who could stop time, come and give strength to me, then after that I managed to defeat Aurora. "
Anastasia put on a surprised face.
"Was the dragon woman wearing black and white?. "
I'm nodding.
"Does he have one right wing on his back??. "
I nodded again.
"Mistake no mistake.., Nian after you recover, I will teach you the science of fighting and also magic. It looks like it's going to be a serious problem."
Hearing that I just nodded in agreement to follow the training from Anastasia, but I wonder why she seems to know so well the woman I meant.
