Chapter 650 Overwhelmed
Chapter 650 Overwhelmed
The pillar of lightning struck with blinding speed, its brilliance illuminating the battlefield in electric light. Caelith's eyes widened as he saw it launching toward him like a force of nature that can't be stopped. Instinctively, he summoned his mist power, the blue haze condensing in front of him like a dense swirling wall.
The lightning slammed into the mist with a deafening crak and Caelith was forced back several paces, his boots digging furrows into the earth. His teeth clenched as he poured more of his Magic energy into the barrier, cold sweat beading on his brow.
Caelith thinking about how strong is this attack that start to overwhelm him. If he managed to absorb all of the real body's power, he will be able to put up more power to counter this.
The mist shield wavered, rippling under the relentless assault of Erend's powerful lightning. Caelith gritted his teeth harder, his focus unwavering despite the strain. But before he could counter a sudden blur of motion caught his attention.
Erend in his massive Dragon form moved with an impossible speed that belied his immense size. In an instant, Erend was beside him and Caelith's heart froze in shock.
Before he could finish the thought, Erend's massive clawed hand slammed down at him, striking him from behind. The impact sent Caelith hurtling into the ground with a resounding boom making the earth beneath him fracturing from the sheer power of the blow. A surge of lightning exploded outward upon impact, scattering the mist that had once surrounded him.
Caelith cried out with voice a mixture of pain and rage. He lay sprawled in that crater with his body battered and face smeared with blood. His vision blurred momentarily, but his anger and resolve burned fiercer than before, he know that he must keep fighting.
With a furious growl, Caelith pushed against Erend's claw, his muscles straining as his Magic surged. The blue mist reemerged and immediately coiling around him like a living entity as he forced himself upright. His bloodied face was a mask of wrath and determination, his piercing eyes locked onto Erend's towering form.
"DRAGOON!" Caelith spat with face twisted into angry snarl. "This fight has only begun!"
The air between them crackling with Magic energy that suddenly become much stronger. Lightning sparked along Erend's scales, illuminating his body, while the mist around Caelith thickened, its tendrils swirling with an almost sentient aggression.
Erend's glowing eyes narrowed as he stood towering over Caelith. The mist churned below, a stark contrast to the storm raging along his white and blue scales. Yet, for a moment, he found himself lost in thought.
Caelith's bloodied face twisted in fury, his piercing gaze burning with a hatred that seemed had come from a long time ago. Erend couldn't help but notice the expression, that look of anger and hatred that this guy and the other avatars wore when they faced him and Eccar. It wasn't just battle rage, it was something deeper that spoke of grudges older than he could comprehend.
"Damn... they all seem to hate us so much."
But despite being a Dragonborn, Erend had no memories of whatever ancient war or rivalry had sown this enmity. The power within him felt alien, like a borrowed strength rather than something earned or understood.
Caelith's fury made sense to him. After all, Erend was standing in the way of whatever he sought to achieve. And before him and Eccar, there was Kaelor who usurped their power and buried their gods here.
"I don't even remember any of this but I'm fighting battles I barely understand. But, whatever."
Erend's frustration mounted. He need to kill this guy quickly so that he can quickly go to the other next!
Erend's fury burned hotter than ever. The rage that he usually felt when consumed by the battle's chaos coming back igniting every nerve with desire to destroy.
The lightning coiling around his massive Dragon form grew fiercer. He let out a deafening roar that seemed to shake the heavens themselves.
Erend charged forward. His strikes came fast and brutal at Caelith.
Caelith's mist that once a strong shield, now trembled under the relentless assault. Every strike from Erend sent oppressive power behind that forced Caelith to retreat.
The mist swirled desperately around Caelith, coiling tighter as he channeled every ounce of his Magic and life force into defense. But his crumbling body betrayed him, cracks webbed across his skin and more mist seeped out like a lifeblood spilling from his very essence.
But Erend attacks only grew faster fueled by the storm of emotions raging inside him. The ground beneath them quaked with every impact, and the once-dense mist began to thin under the overwhelming power.
Caelith struggled to maintain his footing, his body trembling. His mind screamed at him to fight but his limbs grew heavy, his strength ebbing away.
Finally, with a thunderous roar, Erend delivered the decisive blow. His claw tore through Caelith's mist barrier and struck true.
A deafening explosion of light and sound that sent Caelith hurtling backward. He crashed into the ground, the earth giving way beneath him as a massive crater formed where he landed.
The blue mist that had once surrounded him dissipated, its shimmering light fading into nothingness. Caelith lay sprawled on the ground, his body broken and weak. He tried to move but his body refused to obey.
He staring at Erend's towering Dragon form. The creature's scales shimmered with electric light, his massive frame radiating an aura of pure dominance.
A bitter smile tugged at Caelith's lips. His thoughts swirled with doubt and despair.
"Was it all for nothing?" he wondered. "All our struggles to reach this point, only to fall before the might of a Dragon?"
He coughed, blood staining his lips as his vision dimmed further. The rage and hatred that had once fueled him now gave way to a hollow emptiness. Staring up at Erend, he felt insignificance, as though the sheer magnitude of the Dragonborn's power had rendered all his efforts meaningless.
Erend step on him.
