Episode 16- The Dragon vs. Sebastian (Part One)
Sebastian, who was standing on the outskirts of the village, took a quick look around the arena, he was around the body of the city, and before him stood a big dragon. The dragon was jet-black in color with an aura that was the color of darkness. The gigantic dragon was radiating with an ominous, dark aura, which would corrupt the minds and bodies of anyone who came near it.
However, the butler was not fazed by the dragon that was standing before him. As the butler of his master, he had thrown away all of his feelings of fear, so he couldn't feel any pressure from the dragon. However, even if he could feel something… the dragon would be too weak to do any harm to him.
"Looks like you are the dragon I'm supposed to be handling… well, you should make for a good exercise since it's been a while since I have engaged in combat with another type of being. But you came to attack and destroy a whole nation, so let me see what type of hype you live up to."
Those were the words that came out of his mouth before he disappeared from the sight of the dragon. And before the dragon could even react to his movements, they were teleported two hundred meters away from the fairy city.
Sebastian looked at his hand. Even though he was not going to be harmed by the mist that was radiating off the dragon's body, he still didn't want to touch the dragon because of how filthy he was…
So, he reached his hand in his pockets, pulling out a pair of black leather gloves. He used gloves that were similar to the ones he used when doing his butler work, but they weren't the same ones since he didn't want to get the gloves, he fought with mixed up when he was in the kitchen cooking food.
"Well, since you are going to the target for my strikes. I could at least try to make this enjoyable for myself… meaning that nothing you can do is going to have any effect on me. Since you are mindless, you want to be able to do anything to help yourself in this battle. So… this is going hurt you more than it's going to hurt me." he said, putting on the gloves before putting up his battle stance.
He stomped his feet on the ground and destroyed the ground that was below him, but the reason for him stomping the ground was not to damage the ground… it was because he wanted to form a barrier around him and the dragon to keep any unnecessary attacks from hitting the city or anything nearby.
Sebastian sighed as his gaze was firmly on the dragon, "I guess… I'm going to be talking to myself a whole lot in this fight. Well, I guess that's understandable since you are a mindless beast, but even with you being mindless I'm going to need to extract information from that bird brain of yours, something that's going to be enjoyable after all, you want to need to be alive for me to do so because…—"
The dragon started to roar loudly, upset by the person by the sudden appearance of the butler. Even if the dragon were mindless, he could still react perfectly fine, if he sensed someone that was a threat to him. It was the basic nature of every being to react to something that is considered dangerous.
Suddenly the dragon flew towards him the butler, full of killing intent. His mouth was filled with an attack that had enough force to destroy a plant. No, his attack would shatter the stars and probably things that are beyond that, but Sebastian stood in front of the dragon and his expression hadn't changed in the slightest.
The dragon opened his mouth and fired his breath. The attack was formed into a single ray which came pouring in his direction.
With a calm expression, he brought his index finger in front of the attack that was sent toward him.
"This is an attack that could destroy the entire plant… but do you think that I wouldn't be able to survive an attack that could destroy a plant."
After saying that, he flicked his finger, crushing the ray with his finger.
...This wasn't a metaphor. The only way that the sudden act of the butler was that the colorless ray of light that was released from the dragon's mouth had shattered like glass upon the impact of Sebastian's finger and floated in the air before disappearing.
"Well… that wasn't really enjoyable," Sebastian said, disappointed in how weak the dragon was. He had been protecting the castle from the beings that sat above dimensions, so he was used to fighting creatures that were way stronger than the dragon, but the reason he wanted to fight the dragon was that he wanted to see something interesting, and his master wanting him to put on a good show for him.
Sebastian suddenly teleported, striking the dragon ten times in the blink of an eye. He was too fast for the dragon to see even with the enhanced senses the dragon possessed.
Grabbing the tail of the dragon, he flung the dragon toward the heavens and charged mana into his fist. Swinging his fist upwards, a huge gust of wind was released from his fist knocking the dragon further in the sky.
The dragon cried out in pain as it was soaring flying through the sky.
However, the dragon forcefully flapped his wings, stopping himself from flying further into the sky, and started to release the aura from his body, turning the once bright green trees and grass into a purple and ominous aura. The whole area was being affected and destroyed by the mist and all of the monsters were losing their minds.
But the butler Sebastian stood in front of the dragon unfazed by his pressure. He glanced around the area, trying to see all the animals that were afflicted by his corrosion.
After figuring out how much the dragon was affecting the animals, Shito snapped his fingers, freeing all the animals from their suffering from having their minds destroyed. Nothing could stop him from overwriting the mist with an aura that denied him having his mind being corrupted or having his mind taken control… the truth was that no mental attacks were going to work on him no matter how strong the person that tried to place the spell on him was… the same thing went for the Mahinu Family and Tenka Vermillion.
"Hm, this is an interesting attack… you planned to corrupt my mind to the point of driving me insane. So that is the true concept of your existence. You are an entity that is purely made up of corrosion energy… an energy that was strong enough to drive almost everyone in the world insane…" Sebastian murmured as he took a single step towards the dragon and even though the dragon was floating above him in the air, he didn't care about that at all, "Do you really think floating in the air is going to be enough to escape me?"
The area around his feet became heavier and he started to physically walk in the air it was like he was walking on an imaginary staircase.
Once he arrived in front of the dragon, he stood in the air in place, not budging or making a single move. It was like he was standing on a floating surface in the middle of the air. He shifted his gaze towards the heavens before looking at the dragon who was just inches away from his face.
Sebastian moved his hand toward the side of the dragon's face with a smile on his face. His movements were instantaneous, movements that transcended light speed.
Swinging his hand, he slapped the dragon sending him flying through the sky. A slap that was so hard that it knocked some of the teeth out of the dragon's mouth… if he put all his strength into the attack, he just made then he would've slapped the dragon out of existence.
This dragon is truly weak… I was hoping he would be able to handle a couple of strikes from me. No, let me test her regeneration ability.
Teleporting beside the dragon, he brought his index finger before the dragon's forehead.
"Well, let's see what would happen if I destroyed your physical body… so don't worry I'm going to leave your soul intact."
With that, he flicked his finger and the dragon's entire body splattered across the grassy lawn.
"Hmm… I hope you will be coming back soon because… I'm going to sit here and wait for you. One of the reasons being so I can see how far you can go before I finally kill you." Sebastian stood in the same spot waiting to see if the dragon was going to restore his physical body, "Hum, Hum, Hum Hum…"
As he was waiting for the dragon to restore its body, he started humming in a gentle tone, a tone that could put any kind of person or animal to sleep. It was a tone that was softer than the spirits and they were known for their ability to sing.
About a second later, the dragon's body had physically been resurrected. All dragons had the ability to regenerate from having their bodies destroyed with higher ranks like supreme dragons having regenerate abilities above that. But the dragon came back a little different than before… he had more emotion in his eyes and the corruption around his body disappeared, so Sebastian could tell that everything that the dragon would be doing from now on would be of his own will.
Unlike before, the dragon was on the ground staring at the butler in contempt showing that he felt he was above the butler… after all, to humans, dragons are a supreme race that is gifted with magic and physical abilities.
"Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!" the dragon cried out in between peals of laughter, "Did you think that you would be able to kill me… now that I have my consciousness back! I'm going to destroy this world!"
Sebastian's eyes were firmly on the dragon as he pulled up his leather gloves, "Now that you have your consciousness back, I can finally see that you are going to be a person that's going to be a thorn in his master's side. Now, with that in mind… you are going to have to drop dead for me and I'm not going to take not as an answer."
