Chapter 200: You Made It Angrier

‘Are you okay?’ Grey asked while trying his best to put up a concerned expression.

‘No, no I’m not. This guy is too strong.’ Void shook his head.

‘Oh come on, it’s just an oversized lizard, there’s nothing to worry about.’ Grey said sarcastically, using Void’s previous words against him.

‘How can…’ Void wanted to ask Grey why he would call such a mighty dragon an oversized lizard, but he quickly shut his mouth when he recalled the scene of him telling Grey it was an oversized lizard not too long ago.

‘I get it, I messed up, no need to rub it in my face.’ He said.

‘Apologize after fixing this.’ Grey said while giving him a boost so he could continue fighting against the dragon.

This time though, he decided to help out as much as he could, although, he still planned to allow the dragon to beat Void up on some occasions, but he would distract it whenever he notices it might seriously hurt him.

‘Thank you, Teacher.’ Grey couldn’t help but thank Chris when he saw how important inscribing was in this battle.

Had he not been an inscriber, then things would have been a little too difficult for them, given how powerful the dragon was. Even with the inscriptions frequently distracting the dragon, it didn’t stop it from beating them. It was completely dominating the duo, and if things continued like this, they would most likely die under its attacks.

‘Isn’t it time to use that technique yet?’ Void asked after he was once again pushed back by the dragon.

He was the main attacker in the battle, although he couldn’t fly, his space element gave him an advantage which allowed him to stay in the sky for long periods, all he has to do was disappear and appear in different positions.

But he couldn’t do this forever since it’s quite steadily dwindling his space essence reserve in his body.

‘No, it’s still too early, and we’ve barely even gone a kilometer from the spot where we came out.’ Grey said while attacking as well.

Unlike Void, he was actually having an easier time, even though the dragon attacks him sometimes, its main focus was on Void.

‘Crap! Then when’s the right time?’ Void asked worriedly.

‘When you’ve been beaten to stupor.’ Grey said to himself with a chuckle.

‘We still have a long way to go.’ He answered.

After responding to Void, Grey created a large four meters earthen staff and sent it slamming down at the dragon.

Boom!

The staff slammed into the ice sphere that appeared around the dragon when it got close.

“Void!” Grey yelled out.

‘I know.’ Void replied and disappeared from his previous spot.

Grey made three long fire spears and sent them in the direction of the dragon that was mid-air defending against the assault from the inscriptions.

On seeing the incoming spears, the dragon kept its ice sphere active, to block against both the attacks from the inscriptions, as well as Grey’s spears.

Just as the fire spears were about to make contact with the ice sphere, Void who disappeared previously, appeared once again. As soon as he appeared, the spears vanished into thin air.

The dragon’s large pupils dilated when it saw this scene, it knew what the duo wanted to do, but dodging it was easier said than done.

The three spears materialized inside the sphere and continued their speedy charge towards the dragon, slamming into it before it could retreat.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

They exploded on impact, hurting the dragon in the process, since it was an Ice Dragon, the attack seemed more effective compared to other attacks.

After the spears exploded, it caused smoke to rise up in the ice sphere the dragon created, and cracks could be seen forming around the sphere.

Grey didn’t know if the was more effective because it was a fire attack, or if any other attack could harm it as well, after all, this was the first time they were able to strike it since the battle started, and it’s been over five minutes now!

Roar!

A roar of pain came out from the dragon’s mouth.

‘Yeah! We got it!’ Void said excitedly.

Roar!

Another roar was heard, but this time, it was louder.

‘Is it just me or does it sound angry?’ Void asked, but to his surprise, he didn’t get a response.

When he turned around, all he could see was the dust Grey kicked up as he was running away.

‘Fuck! Wait for me!’ Void immediately turned tails and ran after Grey, not waiting to see the dragon appear from the smoke.

‘You’ve made it angrier.’ Void said as he tried to catch up, but this time, Grey seemed a little faster than he was.

With no other option, he used his space element to shorten the gap between the two, before long, he had caught up with Grey.

‘I need to rest a little, I’ve used up a lot of my space essence.’ He thought.

‘Try to recover before it catches up to us.’ Grey said to Void.

He on the other hand seemed okay, even after the battle he had gone through, although he didn’t do much, he shouldn’t be this energized.

‘It’s the tonic.’ He thought.

This was the only thing he could think of that managed to keep him energetic even till now. If only tasting it as well as taking in its scent was this wondrous, how would it feel if one truly consumes it?

Well, he didn’t plan to find out soon, unless he’s cooking with it.

Back at the battlefield.

The dragon came out of the smoke with angry eyes, but the scene that appeared in front of it stunned it, its two opponents were nowhere to be seen.

But it didn’t take long before it managed to sense them though.

Roar!

It roared before flying in pursuit of the duo, a cold glint evident in its eyes, this time, it planned to kill.
