I Received System to Become Dragonborn

Chapter 659 The Black Sphere

The black sphere in Kale's hand grew larger and larger, pulsing with an ominous energy with its dark color even in the middle of the dark mist. In a matter of seconds, it expanded to the size of his palm, radiating a darkness so dense it seemed to swallow the dim light of the battlefield.

Erend's sharp Dragon eyes, now burning with crimson fire, pierced through the mist that had already dissipating because its burned by his power. He could see the sphere clearly — and with it, the imminent danger to him.

A primal instinct screamed in his mind.

"This is bad. Whatever that thing is, I can't allowed that to finish."

Without hesitation, Erend charged forward with combining his powers of fire and lightning in an explosive surge. With a single flap of his massive wings, he propelled himself like a comet, leaving a blazing trail of crackling red lightning and flames in his wake. The force of his movement sent shockwaves rippling across the ground.

In the blink of an eye, Erend appeared in front of Kale, his massive Dragon fist crackling with energy as it descended upon him.

BOOM!

The impact was devastating. Kale barely had time to react before the blow connected with his whole body. The force sent him hurtling backward, his body spinning violently as he smashed through several jagged rock formations that each one crumbling under the sheer power of the strike.

Kale's black sphere dissipated instantly, the void energy scattering into harmless wisps as he crashed into the ground with a deafening impact, leaving a crater in his wake.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Erend hovered in the air, his wings outstretched, the glow of his fiery aura illuminating the battlefield. His deep, guttural growl echoed across the molten terrain, his crimson eyes locked on Kale's motionless form.

But he didn't relax. He knew better.

As the dust began to settle, a sinister chuckle broke the tense silence. From the rubble, Kale rose slowly, his dark mist swirling around him once more. His lips curled into a predatory grin, his body battered but far from defeated.

"Impressive," Kale said, his voice dripping with venom. "But you're not the only one who gets stronger when pushed."

The black sphere swelled further, now pulsing with streaks of crimson and sparks of lightning from Erend's attack. The battlefield trembled under the intensity of their struggle.

The swirling chaos of power raged on as Kale's black sphere continued to consume the fiery pillar of Erend's attack. But despite its appearance, the sphere wasn't absorbing the attack naturally — Kale was pouring his own Magic energy into it, forcing it to maintain its pull.

This was a desperate gamble. His power wasn't fully absorbed from the skeleton, and the strain on his body was immense. Sweat dripped down his face and soon dissapear as his breaths came in ragged gasps, each more labored than the last.

Suddenly, Kale coughed violently, blood spurting from his mouth in alarming amounts. He stumbled, his form flickering as the dark mist around him wavered. Yet, he refused to relent, forcing the black hole to hold steady.

Erend watched closely, his crimson eyes narrowing as he noticed the cracks forming in Kale's control. He could see the toll it was taking on his opponent, the raw desperation driving Kale to maintain his facade of strength.

Then, with a deep growl, Erend made a decisive move. He stopped his attack, cutting off the torrent of fire and lightning. The blazing pillar vanished, leaving the battlefield in a sudden and eerie silence.

Kale blinked in surprise, his black sphere now unopposed. He hesitated, realizing the strain was no longer sustainable. Gritting his teeth, he clenched his fist and the black hole collapsed inward, dissipating into harmless shadows.

For a moment, the two of them stood still, the battlefield between them glowing faintly from the molten earth left by their clash. Kale's form trembled slightly as he straightened himself and he wipe the blood from his mouth with the back of his hand. His smirk had faded, replaced by a grim expression.

Erend hovered above the ground, his wings crackling with residual energy. His fiery aura burned brighter, his anger was getting bigger. His crimson eyes locked onto Kale.

Kale's gaze met Erend's, his body weakened but his resolve unbroken. He could feel the weight of Erend's rage, a pressure that seemed to grow with every passing second.

The silence between them was definitely a tense moment of unspoken challenge. Both knew the fight was not over, but they didn't know how far the other still get.

Kale was weakening, and Erend was only growing angrier with corruption consuming him.
