Rise of the Legendary Emperor

Chapter 25: Battle with the Dragon King

Uncle Dior's gaze was on Dragon king and was just as surprised as Arrora beside him when they heard the Dragon king's challenge to Don.

Initially, he had thought that they had to search or destroy some traps and reach the castle by any chance but he never thought the Dragon Kings himself would appear and ask Don to defeat him.

Before Uncle Dior could collect his thoughts Dragon kings turned to look at him and Arrora

"ye two shou' stay away"

Dragon Kings just raised his fingers while an invisible barrier appeared between Don, Dragon kings and Arrora and Uncle Dior

Arrora and Uncle Dior tried to move but they couldn't in other worlds their legs refused to, Arrora started to sweat seeing Dragon king's power because she never saw someone like him before.

"He's a heavenly level magi" Arrora mumbled in shock and terror as she turned and stared at the expressionless face of Don, the hood was removed by the force of the wind near the waterfall so she could see his handsome face more clearly.

Even facing a legendary magi like Dragon king Don's face refused to show any fear or any emotion at that, despite the fact Don was unable to see or feel magical fluctuations around Dragon King he could guess Dragon king was extremely powerful and this battle was not going to be a simple one.

"shall we start brat" the Dragon King said while the smile until now Dragon king's face had turned serious when he said that. Facing the Dragon king himself Don didn't dare to take this fight as easy so he quickly took his black sword from his back as well as started to control the wind and earth element around him.

Arrora had seen the small storm Don created in the camp however the storm around him now was a little weaker than the first, yet what amazed her now was the dark purple flame covering the sword. Even with some barrier before her, she could feel the heat coming from the sword.

The Dragon King as well didn't waste any time as he floated to meet Don while a huge double-headed battle-axe emerged on his hands. When he was about a hand reaching distance from Don he swung the axe targetting the human before him,

If the ax met Don's body he would be cleaved in halves just when the axe come a few inches closer to his head Don moved to dodge the attack. Dragon King's axe cut the ground where Don stood a moment ago but before he take the axe to attack again, Don came behind him and swung his sword straight across Dragon king's neck.

"clink"

However the sword met some sort of force shield and halted its movement.

Dragon King was a little surprised at Don's speed, if not for the force shield the sword attack would have reached him.

"ye are a quick one" Dragon Kings said and threw a punch to the face of Don, Don couldn't dodge this one because the speed of the punch was so great, when the punch landed on his face he felt like some gigantic hammer hit his face.

If the punch had more force he knew his jaw bone would have broken yet even with this much force Don moved back a few feet while a little bit of blood flowed through his nose.

"Don" at the same time Uncle Dior and Arrora shouted in an impulse.

Don didn't care about the blood as he simply wiped it away with his hands and prepared to attack Dragon King again.

He quickly moved towards Dragon king with the use of wind elements around him but didn't attack him directly rather he manipulated the earth element close to Dragon king to form a wall around him to restrict his movements.

The Dragon King hadn't realized there is mud wall behind him as well as his left and right until it made him looked like a trapped rat but before he could do anything Don stabbed towards him rather than slashing at him,

Don felt the force field of Dragon King was strong so he didn't slash but tried to pierce the shield with his sword point covered with hellfire, just as he thought his plan paid off, the shield was pierced by the sword not much he expected but it touched Dragon king's chest yet Don felt like he touched nothing.

"Good one brat" Dragon king said but little away from him, Uncle Dior saw a tinge of satisfaction appear on Dragon king's face but soon it was replaced with an impartial look.

Don put his full force and tried to pierce Dragon King's chest, Dragon king was unable to swing his axe because of the walls around him, regarding this the axe in Dragon King's hands disappeared and he simply elbowed the walls, the walls didn't stand a chance against Dragon King's brutal strength.

At that moment Don withdrew his sword and jumped back from Dragon King.

When the walls destroyed the battle axe appeared again in his hands

"it's time ta end this" Dragon Kings said as he clutched his battle axe with his two hands and held it over his head and started to chant something,

Don figured that the Dragon King is going to use his trump card so he did the same, Arrora and Uncle Dior could see the spike in the magical fluctuation waves covering Dragon King, the fluctuations grow stronger and stronger as he continued to chant but suddenly Uncle Dior and Arrora heard thunder clapping like a huge storm brewing near them as they turned to look at Don before the Dragon king.

They saw Don holding a Warhammer in his hands, the handle of the hammer was pure black and engraved with some designs they couldn't clearly see, the Warhammer was two-headed one head was blunt and another was pointy, it was little longer than the sword Don had previously.

The sound of thunder clapping grew higher and higher as bolts of lighting started to emerge from the Warhammer and covered it, in seconds the bolts turned to full-sized lighting, the crackling sound and blue flashes started to match the effect of the magical fluctuations Dragon King was emanating, the dark forest started to get darker.

The Dragon King opened his eyes while his battle-ax was covered by some blood-red energy as two shadows of two Dragons emerged from dragon king's behind and coiled around the battle-ax and roared.

On the other side, Don's Warhammer was covered and emanating lighting,

The air element he was controlling started to create a whirlwind around the battle-ax to enhance the power of the lighting.

holding their weapons Don and Dragon Knight moved toward each other and attacked at the same time.

"BOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!"

At the moment the Warhammer and battle-ax collided, a massive force produced, it cleared the surroundings, destroyed all the trees within nearly a 50-meter radius even the big trees couldn't stand a chance against the force.

Dust, tree logs, leaves almost all the things on the ground flew around them against the gravity even though the barrier protected Arrora and Uncle Dior from the force they still closed their eyes instinctively with their hands.

Arrora and Uncle Dior couldn't see Don and Dragon king as dust and debris covering them and affecting their view. The sound of thunder clapping, as well as magical fluctuations emanated from the Dragon king, were stopped.

Slowly the dust started to settle down, Arrora and Uncle Dior were glad to have the barrier before them, if it wasn't for the barrier they would have been killed or broken all their bones because of the force produced by Don and Dragon King's attacks.

Arrora and Uncle Dior wanted to know who won the fight, they both witnessed the full power of Don and Dragon Kingat the last moment of the battle.

Eventually, the dust completely settled down and their surrounding came to normal but before Arrora and Uncle Dior only one person was standing still,

It was the Dragon King a few meters away from Dragon King on the ground lain bleeding Don, his black robe was nearly destroyed there were so many holes on them, the Warhammer he held was nowhere to be found.

When Arrora saw Don as this strange feeling emerged on her heart, Uncle Dior beside her hitting the barrier in the hope of reaching Don. Uncle Dior expected Dragon King to win because he knew the terror he caused from the stories he heard and Don to lose but seeing this in reality, was something he didn't imagine.

The Dragon King saw the two of them as he flicked his wrists and made the barrier stopping them disappear.

Don was struggling to stand up but he couldn't, he sensed his ribs were broken as well as bones in so many places in his body, the pain he was feeling was so much, his heart started to beat fast as battle energy circulated through his body to heal his failing organs.

He knew he was not far away from death and wanted to close his eyes and embrace it but the voice of sister Elena, Knight's face as well as Arwen, Amaryll, Elrond's faces stopping from closing his eyes. The promises he made gave some strength to fight the death he didn't want to die as he knew he had so much to do.

Just when he was fighting with death he saw a worried face before him, in a second he saw another worried face calling out his name, the faces he saw were Arrora and Uncle Dior.

In his mind, there were so many scenes that appeared and disappeared, one of them was a little skinny boy practicing sword skills with a half-elf woman another one was a little boy running carrying a little lion cub in his hands.

"Don" Uncle Dior and Arrora shouted, Arrora took his head and placed it on her lap while Uncle Dior took his water pouch and slowly poured the water into Don's mouth only to see Don cough out more blood.

Unknowing to Arrora tears started to come out of her eyes and dropped on Don's face, she could see his hands were broken and looking weirdly as well as most parts of his body.

"The healing potion it's in his rings take it out" Uncle Dior suddenly remembered the potion he gave to Arwen and Arrora as he went to search for the ring.

When Arrora heard about the healing potion a small hope appeared on her eyes,

"Don stay with us"

Don would have taken it and drank if he had the control to his hands, he couldn't even move his pinky let alone manipulate the battle energy and open the ring. He wanted to tell them that they can't open the ring but unable to open his mouth.

"How how do I open the ring?" Uncle Dior scratching the ring as well as injecting magic energy into the ring, he even tried biting the ring but the ring didn't show any reaction.

"Do something!!"Arrora was trembling and shouting at Uncle Dior who was still trying everything to open the ring but after a moment the light in Don's eyes started to fade away as Uncle Dior slowly shook his head, Arrora was able to feel the body heat of Don dropping.

The sadness and hopelessness struck Arrora, its true that she only met him days ago but he was there when she was hopeless and helpless, if not for him she would have faced a fate worse than death, all of this made her cry more and made her feel just as hopeless and helpless like before.

The man who saved her now dying in front of her while she couldn't do anything to prevent that.

"Don don't die please stay with us" Don couldn't hear the shouting of Arrora while darkness slowly started to cover his vision.
