"Okay. Good. Everything looks perfect, let's start this showdown~."

I said the moment I finished confirming my condition with a slight smirk.

I'm actually a little excited about this battle, as to why?

Well, considering all the fights I've been through this past two years, it was as if I developed a new nature, a nature of violence, and the crave for battle. In short, I have officially became a battle maniac... Oh boy~.

I just hope that I can suppress this after my evolution, if not... Then I'm sure the moment I entered the civilisation, I'll be fighting like a madman every where the moment I found someone strong, everyday seeking for fights, for battle! Just like a fool I'm familiar with! No, make that fools~!

*Cough*

Anyway, enough of that.

I came out of my cave and spread my wings, feeling the fresh air brush across my body.

I put strength on my four limbs and took off, towards the the canyon south-west from here.

After flying at an unimaginable speed, I reached the canyon and was able to spot the silhouette of the lesser dragon.

A twenty meter tall western dragon with dark green scales, sharp claws, razor sharp fangs and barbed tail with a purple hue.

This dragon is a type of poison dragon which can be considered as an extremely dangerous opponent to anyone that crossed oath with it. But fortunately for me, thanks to my unique skill, poison is just like mud! Can do nothing but to dirty my body!

Hah! In yo face~!

But that's not the only thing that's concerning, if it is, then I would have already killed it some time ago.

Not only does this lesser dragon have a deadly poison, it's strength is also not a thing to scoff at.

Heh, it's not called the strongest for no reason. Especially if it's called like that by me, 'cause it really is!

From my observation, this lesser dragon is already an adult, also can be considered at its prime, the point where it's strongest.

Compared to me, a little crimson dragon that is no more than twelve years old~, it's just so much of an over kill, don't you think?

Haist~. But I ain't backing down, Imma go beat the sh*t out of this overgrown lizard and use it for my evolution!

[Author: Oh boy... You do realize that you two are basically the same species... right?]

I flew down at the mouth of the canyon, creating clouds of dust in my landing.

*ROAR!!!*

Hearing the noise, the poison dragon looked towards my direction and roared loudly, trying to intimidate the fool who trespassed into its turf!

[Author: Y~eah... I ain't commenting on that...]

"Tch! Goddamn this lesser dragon~! Can't even talk properly! And they say that adults are supposed to be wise~! And I say they're fools!"

I grunted as I lunged towards the dragon.

In this kind of fight, waiting for the other to attack first is a foolish move as in the first attack, a lot can happen.

[Crimson Dragon's... Roar!]

I immediately used my skill, making the poison dragon freeze on its tracks.

Not wasting any second, I used another skill!

[Inferno!]

A blast of crimson flame came out of the ground in the form of giagantic pillars and immediately surrounded the dragon as another pillar of flame bursted in the middle, hitting the dragon squarely on its chest, sending it flying for a few meters.

*ROAR!!!*

It stood up and let out a bellow of enraged roar as greenish flame came out f it's mouth!

"Oh! So yoy can also use some kind of a toxic breath? Now that's interesting~. Maybe every other species of dragons have their own unique flames, ey? Now that would be cool!"

I exclaimed even though I'm still in the middle of a fight!

I leaped to the side to avoid the poison flame and immediately sent a counter attack with my own.

[Fireball!]

The crimson ball of fire shot out of my mouth and flew at lightning speed towards the dragon, but it was dodged!

Damn! It's quick!

It roared and dashed towards my direction with its horns angled to meet me head on!

"So that's what you want, ey? Then let's see who's horn is the sharpest!"

[Crimson Dragon's Rush!]

I used the skill and it immediately took effect!

I lunged forward due to the influence of the skill and clashed with the poison dragon head on!

Horn to horn!

[Author: Sure, sure~. Just don't get too horny~!(Get the pun?😂)]

*BOOM!!!*

Both of us were blown away by several meters by the impact!

And DAMN IT! That was too painful~!

I inwarly cursed as I shook my head.

Looking towards the poison dragon, it seems to have suffered the same damage as me!

Hah! Take that! At least I'm not the only one who's suffering from these bumps!

*ROAR!!!*

It roared once again the moment it recovered from the collision.

"Man~! Can't you do other things except from roaring~?!"

I exclaimed and cursed as I prepared myself.

I know that from here on, the battle will be even more serious.

And just as I thought, a moment lapsed in my thoughts and it's already in front of me!

Damn it!

*Roar!!!*

It roared as it's claw came down on me, sending me flying to the wall of the canyon!

*BANG!*

"F*ck it! How did it suddenly become so fast?!"

I exclaimed in horror and looked towards the dragon that's already dashing towards me!

'Damn it! Time out! Can't I even get a little rest here?!*

*BANG!!!*

'Guess no?'

I thought as I was once again sent flying.

'Fuck this sh*t! This giant lizard is obviously playing with me! Treating me like a clawing bag!'

I cursed and immediately stood up, not wasting any time, I flapoed my wings and shot through the air!

Escape?

No! Why would I escape?! We're taking this battle air borne ~!

Just like I was intending, the poison dragon also began to fly as it tried to catch up to me!

*Roar!!!*

"Just shut up already! Aren't your throat getting dry from all that roaring?!"

I shouted back and flew higher!

Looking towards the dragon who's chasing after me, I smirked!

"Hahaha~! So you ain't so fast when flying, huh?! Niw that's wonderful~!"

[Flame Volley!]

Crimson flame bursts around me and instantly formed into multiple fireballs and all shot out towards the poison dragon!

*Whoosh~!*

*Roar!!!*

It roared and also sent its own flane to interceot my attack, but that move is plain idiotic!

*BOOM!*

*BOOM!*

*BOOM!*

*ROOOOAAAAR~!!!!*

*BOOM!*

...

..

.

All my fireballs immediately exoloded the moment they got into contact with the other type of flame, cancelling the attack!

The other fireballs found their marks and hit the poison dragon, and sent it flying towards the ground as it let out a painful yet enraged roar!

"Heh! Take that! And do you think it's over? Well you're wrong~!"

[Flame Volley!]

I sent out another wave of my crimson fireballs towards the poison dragon, and all of them exploded upon contact!

Another round of booming explosions resounded through out the canyon as it continued to echo outwards.

Flying down, I saw the poison dragon standing up again with burnt marks all over its body!

'So it did took the damage~! Nice!'

I inwardly celebrated.

The moment it got sight of me, it roared as it immediately rushed to my direction, clearly enraged!

*Roar!!!*

"Yeah, yeah~. I know your enraged. Don't need to remind me~."

I said and also rushed out, once again taking it on a head on confrontation!

'Ahhh~! I'm so stupid. Why did flew down when I already have a big advantage on the air?'

I suddenly thought, after considering it, I really am stupid~.'

[Author: Wow~! You finally realized it~! Bravo~! Bravo~!]

*Bang!*

*Roar!!!*

It slashed at me with its claws nonstop and I was doing the same, kinda comical if you ask me. Why? Well imagine this scene when you are human... If you got it, then congrats. If not? Then you're so much of a loner than me!

I leaped backwards, making sime distance between me and this damned dragon!

[Magma Hot!]

I exclaimed and activated the skill.

Immediately, the ground beneath the poison dragon cracked as magma rose up from the cracks, sending out extremely high temperature steam, enveloping it whole!

*ROAR!!!!!*

A pained roar was heard behind the curtain of steam.

"Damn~. I'm running out of mana! I have to finish this as soon as I can!"

I exclaimed when I saw the amount of my mana, it's almost dry!

I immediately started formulating a olan, but that thought was interrupted by a loud roar~!

"Haist! What now?!"

I scowled and looked towards the poison dragon encased in the steam.

I already knew that that steam wouldn't hold it for long considering that it's a dragon, but I didn't that it would recover this soon!

And as if to add oil to the fire and to fan it no less!

I saw the poison dragon's body began convulsing, it's getting bigger!

"Are you kidding me?! Dafuq is this kind of skill?!"

I cursed out loudly and immediately took on the air.

I immediately made this choice, as I know that staying on the ground won't do me any good! And it may even result in the worst situation possible!

*ROOOAAARRR~!!!!!*

Now, the fully gigantized poison dragon roared as it stood more than forty meters!

It's size doubled from earlier!

Goddammit! What's up with my luck?! Is someone messing me up?!

[Author: ... Uhm... No? （￣～￣;）]

It spreads its wings and rushed towards my direction!

It opened its mouth and a ball green flame immediately shot towards me!

I flapped my wings as hard as I could and barely managed to evade the attack!

"That was close! Too close!"

I flew as as highas I could, trying to out-fly it again, but damn I was wrong!

It's damn flying speed also increased! For f*cking dragon god's sake!

Seeing that there's no other way to get out of this situation of mine, I decided to just confront it head on! Again! The f*ck!

[Flame Volley!]

I shouted and sent out my crimson fireballs!

But it was ineffective!

'Damn it! Think, think! I got to find a way, a plan... Formulate a plan! ... Wait... That's it!'

*Roar!!!*

It roared and flapped it's wings as wind blades was sent my way!

Seeing this, my eyes widened and inwardly cursed filled with sarcasm!

'Great, just great! Now it's wind blades! Are you that in love with me that you're too bent on trying to kill me?!'

*Shing!*

"Argh!!! Damn it!"

I exclaimed loudly as one of the wind blades found its way to my shoulders!

I flapped harder, trying to bring it higher and higher, ignoring the searing pain on my shoulders.

'Come on, come on~... Now!'

The moment we reached more than a hundred meters from the ground, I turned around to face it and released a skill!

[Crimson Dragon's Roar!]

My roar reverberated through the air as the gigantasized poison dragon was stunned!

"It's now or never~. I just hope this works..."

Gathering every bit of mana I have left, and putting all my will and concentration forth, I bellowed as I let the skill out!

[Crimson Dragon's... WRATH!!!]

Suddenly, the whole world seemed to have stopped, it seemed to have gone quiet! The world have gone red! Oh, wait. That's actually me... Hehe...

Crimson aura materialised around me as it took on my own form! But this time, unlike the normal dragon avatar, this one is bigger! At least more than fifty meters!

"*ROOOOOAAAAAARRRR~~~!!!!*"

It roared, no! I roared!

The roar was full of majesty, with power, with authority!

The poison dragon seemed tonhave been once again petrified! But I didn't thibk more about and immediately lunged forwards!

My dragon avatar spreads its claws and slashed towards the poison dragon on double hit!

"*ROAR!!!*"

*Roooaaaarrrr~!!!*

The poison dragon roared with unwillingness as ut was smashed towards the ground with the second strike of my dragon avatar's claws!

*BOOOMMM!!!*

A mushroom cloud rose up from the ground as my avatar began fading and I began falling to the ground.

I knew. I knew I was going to oass out the moment I executed that skill. After all, every little drop of my remaining mana was in that attack.

I spread my wings, hoping to at least decelerate my fall.

And it fortunately worked. Damn, it makes me really wonder if my luck is rotten or not~. Haha... Guess it's just balanced~.

*BOOM!!!*

I crushed on the ground, creating a crater in the process.

"Man~. That battle was one hell of a workout~."

I said and a slight smirk appeared on my face as my vision is beginning to darken.

"Welp..."

I said and paused, I looked towards the poison dragon and sighed in relief.

"At least it died. Time for a nap. I deserve it..."

I mumbled as my vision finally darkened, I fainted due to exhaustion. Both from physically, and mentally. Oh, and don't forget that my mana is also zero~!
