Dragon King's Harem Chapter 33. The Aral DragonAs I deep in thought, trying to find a way to defeat him, the Dragon swung his cw again at me. Swiftly, I opened my wings and jumped out of the way but the impact mao cut the sleeve of my uniform.The dragon's taunt echoed through the chamber."Is that how a dragon king fights? By running away and dodging like a coward?" he taunted. I could see his desding grin on his slightly transparent mouth.I g my sleeve before returning my gaze to him. My wings fpped, keeping me floating in the mid-air. My eyes looked at him.'It wasn't just a bark.' Since he could attack me, I would try to attack him with my skills. Besides I had no other choice.'Adrenaline Surge! Dragon Armor! Power Boost! Accelerate! '[Adrenaline Surge has been activated.][Dragon Armor has been activated.][Power Boost has been activated.][Accelerate has been activated.][ATK: 185 + 90+ 185][M.ATK: 185 + 90 +185][DEF: 90 + 44][SPD: 90 + 44 +90][Time remaining: 14:56]The sparks surrounded me and my bck armour covered my body.'Rage!' I took out my Bazooka and aimed it at him.- Boom!Unfortunately, my attack just cut through him, as if I had only shot the air. My attaded on the floor behind him. A crack was formed from impact, but soon, it closed by itself, sihis room rotected by special magic power. I gritted my teeth in displeasure.'Tch! As I thought ... 'He ughed loudly at my failure."Physical attacks won't hurt me. If you want to kill me, you have to use yic skills or your elemental magic," he said in a desding tone. Looks like he knew I had no other offensive skills besides my Mana on."You know it, yet you still put me in a difficult position," I said with a gre. My brairying to find a way to beat him.He grinned wickedly."That's your problem, not mihen a huge burst of fire came out of his mouth and charged at me. I celled my mana on as I flicked my wings to dodge. With ease, he moved his head without stopping his fme. I flew to dodge, my eyes fixed on him and my braihinking to find a way.I manoeuvred in the mid-air, moving my wings rapidly to avoid the fme that was chasihen suddenly an idea crossed my head.'I hope this could work!' I stopped and stretched out my hand, casting my skill.'Mana Barrier!'A transparent wall appeared before me.[A barrier has been formed.]Another annou popped up as his fme hit my barrier.[Aral Dragon's fme has hit your barrier, mana barrier energy 2/3.]The fme spread out in all dires, c his sight to me. Quickly, I flicked my wings, bringing my body to fly lower towards his feet. Meanwhile, my energy barrier grew weaker.[Mana barrier energy 1/3.]'Terror!' A pair of bck gaus with sharp cws covered my hands up to my elbows. Then I swung my cw at him as another annou appeared before me.[Your mana barrier has beeroyed.]But of course, though I nded a hit on his leg, my attack failed. He shifted his gaze at me who was still beh him and grinned Evilly."What a stupid move!" And he shot his fme at me.'Mana Barrier!'A transparent wall reappeared before me.[A barrier has been formed.]And just like before, the fme hit my barrier.[Aral Dragon's fme has hit your barrier, mana barrier energy 2/3.]And spread out in all dires, while I retreated to dodge. This time because the fme was too big and my barrier was too close to his foot, he injured himself."Khhh!" He was in pain and stopped his attack.[The Aral Dragon has taken 287 magical damage.]I grinned.'Gotcha!' Now I knew what I had to do to deal with him. But I still had to be careful, because though he had huge fire resistand only took a little damage, the damage was quite big. He just o nd a hit and I would die.Quickly, I cast my Mana Barrier again as I moved around him.He turned around."What are you pnning, huh?" he roared in anger. His cw swung at me. Quickly, I flicked my wings to dodge his attack. But then, I went back, as if to mock him and cast my Mana Barrier. He attacked me with his cws and his fme repeatedly. While, I flew from side to side deftly, avoiding his attacks like an annoying fly at the piic area. But not only dodged it, secretly, I cast my Mana Barrier and arra around him. And of course, though I dodged, I didn't move far away a my distance close to him.Fifteen minutes had passed, he stopped his attad gave me an angry look."Stop running away and face me as a real dragon king!" he roared.I stopped and floated not far from him. Though I was gasping for breath since I had to divide my focus to create my Mana Barrier and dodge his attacks, a smirk on my lips."Very well. How about we finish everything irike?" I said in a casual tone.He grinned."As you wish!" He spat his fire at me once again. While I stretched out my hand and cast another Mana Barrier in front of me.'Mana Barrier!'A transparent wall appeared before me.[A barrier has been formed.]The st barrier was like the st puzzle piece that pleted the other piece of barriers.His huge fme hit my barrier.[Aral Dragon's fme has hit your barrier, mana barrier energy 2/3.]And spread out in all dires. This time, since I arranged my barrier to form a dome that bent towards him, his fme turned pletely to him and burned his body directly."Argggg!" he screamed in pain and stopped his attack. While I glided backwards to make some distahe Aral Dragon has taken 1287 magical damage. ]'Damn! He's really bad news! ' I had to admit that making Mana Barrier around him drained my Mana, luckily, I had a lot of Al's Mana Potions. I could only hope that I had enough stock to beat him.His fme was gone as my Mana Barrier was destroyed.[Your mana barrier has beeroyed.]As the dragon's figure became clearer before me, I could see him staring at me with rage.But rather than being scared, I replied with a challenging look."Shall we tinue?" From the previous battle, I knew our strength differences were too big. But I knew I wouldn't be able to escape from here, besides he also didn't want to iate with me anymore. The only thing I could do was fight.But then his anger faded, repced by a loud ugh. I frowned, notig his sudden ge in attitude."Incredible! This is the first time someone used Mana Barrier to return my attack. The real Argod surely has chosen you well," he said with a satisfied smirk.Then he shrunk and turned into a male figure like me. But what distinguishes it, his body was only made of light like before."We o talk," he said.With caution, I desded and walked over to him. Even though he only seemed willing to test me before, I didn't know what his main iion was."You seem a cautious person," he said as he realized I hadn't trusted him."I 't possibly trust someone who nearly killed me that easily," I replied as I stopped in front of him, but still, I kept my distan case he suddenly ged his mind and attacked me again."Calm down. I just want to know more about you," he said with a smirk.A sed ter, the atmosphere arouurned heavy, I even couldn't move ahe grouh me trying to pull me down.[Warning! The stun effect has started!][Your speed has decreased by 100%][Warning! The gravitation pressure increases by 100%]'What ?!' I struggled to try to move my body but in vain. Even I struggled just to keep myself standing.He suddenly disappeared and appeared right in front of me."If I wao kill you, I would not attack you like before but like this," he said with a smirk."What do you want?" I asked straight to the point."You have passed my test, therefore I will give you a ce to lead the Drais Empire. And since you passed my expectation, I will reward you." He stretched out his hand to me and a huge fire came out of it. Strahe fme did not attack me but surrounded my body.[The Aral Dragon wants to give you his essence. Do you want to extract it?][Yes] [No]I turned my gaze to him."Take it," he said calmly."You really hate eople, don't you?" I guessed why he suddenly gave his esseo me."No, I hate when my desdant is denigrated as a weak creature."I responded with a smirk."I will bee stronger. Just watch me." I turned my gaze to the s in front of me.'Yes.'My body absorbed the fme surrounding me as a magiation glowed in white formed under my feet. In an instant, my body felt hot, as if a huge fme burnt my body."Kkhhhhhh !!!!!" I gritted my teeth, enduring the burning feeling all over my body. Another annou appeared before me.[gratutions! You have acquired new skills: Dragon's Vision, Bzing Orb, Elemental on, Telekiic ---- Error! The essence is to for you! Insuffit level!]"Argggggg!" I screamed out loud as I couldn't help the burniion that bit my whole body."Tch!" The Aral Dragon stretched out his hand to me."Draw!" And the remaining fme returo him.The atmosphere arouuro normal, the heat that burned my body disappeared. I staggered backwards as tried to catch my breath and keep my footing, my sweat was dripping. That was definitely an unpleasant experience.[Your speed has returo normal.][The gravitation pressure returns to normal.][Dragon's Vision (Passive) - A royal dragon's eye sharphat deteemies and dangers around him.][Bzing Orb (Requires 10 Mana) - Skill used by a royal dragon to create fire orbs.

How about you levelled up first and came back here after getting stronger. I'll be happy to share my esseo you." Then he smirked."But of course you have to beat me first. And our fight will not be as easy as today.""Deal!" I said without hesitation in panting breath."Good! ime, you have to fight me better." After those words left his mouth, his body shattered into tiny lights that spread throughout the room."Remember, I will always watch over you. Good luck, Argod." His voice echoed once again.I smirked."You don't o remind me about it," I muttered. Then I turned around and walked out towards the exit.
