Cherreads

Chapter 16 - 10. Facing death

Anorax was running for his life. He sprinted with everything he had. He didn't care where he was going but as long as he could survive that was enough.

He was not alone. Several creatures in the forest also ran for their lives.

'Fuck. Fuck.'

The forest was destroyed wherever he past. A damn dragon was on a chase after him.

He had entered its cave briskly without care. He was ready to take the 'loot' but everything backfired.

"I will sell everything at a higher price, I can't risk my damn life for nothing."

He spun around and changed direction. A dragon's body went passed him.

Swoosh

'Sigh. That was close.'

He didn't rest for long as a fire beam came. His body was immediately covered in lightning and disappeared.

A black sword appeared in his hand. A huge tail struck. He rolled to the side.

The sword blazed with red flames. He struck its legs but the sword bounced off. He was blasted away.

'Seems I will have to use it here.'

He infused abit of the White Ancient flames into the sword.

The red flames were devoured. Pure white flames appeared on the sword.

The Dragon's gaze landed on the white flames. It could feel a huge threat from them. It's instincts were screaming danger.

But...

Rooaar!!!

Since when did a dragon back down from a fight. Faster than he could react, it appeared before him and struck him with it tail.

Booom

He crashed into the mountains. It followed in a blur. Its eyes burning with a heated desire to fight.

A white beam of flames shot towards it. Its huge body twisted mid air. The beam struck the mountains behind. Nothing was left. Everything was erased.

"...?"

The sky became darker than before. Lightning cracked relentlessly and thunder roared.

The lightning this time was far more deadly and stronger than before. The bolts were more thick and lethal.

The Dragon looked up. And that was a mistake.

Boooom

He punched it with everything he had. Its huge body rolled on the ground but immediately stabilised. It was just a tickle.

Crack! Boooom!!

A thick golden bolt descended. Faster than it could react, the bolt struck the Dragons body. Its scales flew off.

Roooaaar!!!

A powerful roar of pain shook the ground. The area around them was destroyed as far as the eyes could see.

Lightning bolts rained down endlessly. They crashed fiercely. He was slowly but surely gaining an upper hand.

The Dragon was far more powerful than him. But with his cunning nature and advantage, he skillfully fought the beast whose strength made him shudder.

They moved at super speeds destroying everything in their path. Whenever it was about to strike, a lightning bolt descended and struck it.

It weakened with time, its speed waned greatly. The White flames were wrecking havoc in its body. They disorganised the energy flow.

Seconds.. minutes.. hours..

His energy had been drained. His clothes were left in tatters. But he solely relied on his physical strength.

Boooom

The remaining lightning bolt heavily struck down the Dragon. It looked very miserable. He almost couldn't identify it.

It body was roasted beyond recognition. A smell of burnt flesh filled the area.

Thub.

The huge creature fell on the ground. It's form hinged on a thread of life. Its eyes had already lost colour. It's eyes filled with disbelief.

Though thoroughly drained he dragged his body towards it. He had to do it. He screamed at his body to hurry up...

He arrived at the Dragon's towering body.

He plunged his black sword into its chest. It body shook violently but his grip remained firm, eyes resolute.

As the Dragon's body grew limp, a hearty laugh filled the air...

"Hahaha..."

"Hahaha..."

"Hahaha... I did it. Lisa, I did it. I killed a fucking Dragon. Hahaha..."

He laughed like a maniac. He had seen his life flash before his eyes. It was a terrifying experience. The Lizard was far stronger than him that each second he felt a sharp knife tighten around his neck.

The bolts played a huge role to keep it on ground, the White flames disrupted its energy system. He schemed through and through until finally...

He stood up. He pulled out his sword but...

'Why is it cracked?'

"Lisa, why is it cracked. Am sure I didn't break it, right." He asked curiously.

[It's sealed. It will unsealed with time.]

She didn't provide much information. But it was more than enough.

She had been ready to intervene from the start. The Dragon was a Tier 4 beast on the verse of break through to Tier 5.

The current him was far too weak to face such a beast so that explains his glee.

Lisa was the shocked but also happy here. He made her proud.

He walked towards the cave. It was huge inside. He saw a mountain of luxuries. Jades, gold, silver, pearls, mana crystals, etc.

He walked around. He spotted a motionless feminine body. He sat down and placed her head on his lap.

He stroked her beautiful face gently. She was cold. Her body limp.

His hands trembled. Her face was pale.

"You know even now you look very beautiful, Medusa." He said with a hollow laugh.

"Yes, I am. No one is more beautiful than me after all~." A seductive feminine voice replied.

He glanced back. There she was, in a black dress. Her long black hair defied gravity.

He quinted his eyes. She was Medusa but something about her was different. He couldn't put a finger on it.

She walked gracefully towards him. She touched 'her' dead body and sighed.

"As I said am the same me no matter which body am in. That Dragon the other 'me' is fighting is a Death Dragon God. I took that Lizard very far away. The fight would have destroyed several galaxies~." Medusa said touching his head.

A golden light flashed brightly. He could feel something in his eyes change. They burned intensively but he gritted his teeth.

Lisaria appeared. She examined the corpse curiously. Her golden eyes shone with great brilliance.

A smile adorned her beautiful face.

"So it wanted its son to devour you completely, huh. It would have attained Godhood without facing a dangerous Heavenly tribulation."

"Sadly for it, I can't let my body act like 'manure'." Medusa said with palpable disgust.

She stopped, looking at him, golden slits stared back at her.

She smiled seductively. That was more like it.

His gaze snapped towards the bats at the cave ceiling. A golden light flashed from his eyes.

They froze, their bodies immediately turned into rocks.

Suddenly...

Medusa watched as his eyes reverted back to royal purple.

"Interesting."

"What was that?"

"Well, it's my main ability you know~. No living can escape my gaze. Sadly, I hadn't awakened it fully in her body yet. It was incomplete."

Medusa said in frustration. It wasn't that her avatars were weak but such a powerful ability had several restrictions.

☆☆☆

Unknown location.

Lifeless celestial bodies floated in the void. They filled the void mirroring the destruction that had occurred.

A desperate roar filled the void. A golden wipe coiled around a gigantic dragon endlessly. It elongated as it squeezed mercilessly. Only the Dragon God's head was left with its mouth bound.

"Pathetic Lizard. You were acting high and mighty, now where is the arrogance." Her icy voice boomed in the void. The debris were blasted away.

She appeared before its huge body. Her hand pierced into its chest. A large beating heart flowing with golden blood appeared.

"Goodbye~."

A powerful golden light flashed. Its gigantic body free and turned into stone rapidly.

She looked around and sighed. Billions had lost their lives without knowing how.

Two galaxies down. Battles among Gods caused suffering to mortals.
