Arad stood between goblins as they growled, his eyes glowing red, purple, and yellow.

Black scales extended through his arms to his neck as hair covered his forearms and chin. The blood magic around him concentrated, sucking the goblins’ blood like there was no tomorrow.

CRACK! He transformed inside the tiny cave, destroying it from the inside as he clawed his way to the surface, roaring his lungs.

The whole forest was shocked. Prey and predators alike hid in their holes, avoiding the unleashed monster.

Then purple dragon stared at the sky, hearing the roar booming above the clouds, “A dragon?” He glared down at Aella, “He was here all along?”

“Burn him to ash!” Aella screamed, and Arad blasted through the clouds, opening his jaw.

Flames gushed from Arad’s mouth and nose, concentrating into a long blue white of light.

The purple dragon opened his jaw, aiming at Arad. “You’re awfully small,” He growled, breathing a blast of purple plasma.

The two breaths collided mid-air, and Arad’s breath quickly lost, getting consumed by the hot plasma.

Void Step Arad disappeared as the plasma breath covered him and appeared on the purple dragon’s arm, slashing his thumb and snatching Aella before the dragon could react.

ROAR! The purple dragon roared, hesitant to smack Arad, who held Aella.

Void Step Arad didn’t wait and teleported to the purple dragon’s face, swinging his claw at his left eye and ripping it off.

Void Step Arad teleported back to the gate and landed on the ground beside Lydia. “He doesn’t want to harm me. Let me stay on your back,” Aella said, pulling the arrows stuck on her forearm with her teeth.

“What are you?” The purple dragon growled, glaring at Arad, holding his eye, “Those scales and horns, you’re no black dragon.”

Arad didn’t care or bother to reply. All he cared about was ripping this thing into shreds.

Red veins bulged in the purple dragon’s healthy eye, causing it to hurt and bleed. “You! What are you?”

Thud! Arad appeared on the dragon’s head.

STAP! He plunged his claw into the eye, ripping it off.

The vision wasn’t a dragon’s sole sensory input, and the purple dragon wasn’t that easy to drop. He jumped back, lifting his arms. Heat Wave

Arad could sense the compressed magic rushing in the air, and he lifted his arms to protect Aella. The scorching heat burned his scales and blasted him back. 𝗻𝐨𝐯𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

CLACK! Arad’s wounds instantly healed with the blood he had stored, and he opened his jaw. A cold gust of wind gathered around his head, and a blast of frozen air gushed forth in an ice storm.

The purple dragon got hit chest first, and he recoiled back like an only man getting splashed with ice-cold water. “Fire and cold, you’re a magic one?” He growled, his eyes healing out of nowhere.

Arad didn’t sense any holy or blood magic. The purple dragon must be using something else to regenerate.

“You’re a magic dragon, aren’t you? What is your kind doing here? I thought you idiots barely care about the world.” The purple dragon growled.

CRACK! Arad walked forward, his claws melting the ground into the void, ripping apart as gravity magic lifted the stones into the air.

“Get your claws off, my woman!” Arad roared gravity magic gathering in his throat. This wasn’t a normal breath, nothing like what the purple dragon had seen before in his life.

The gravity pulled stones, trees, air, and debris close to Arad’s jaw, crushing the together as the gravity magic boiled out of Arad’s jaw.

BAM! The purple dragon spread his wings, jumping into the sky to avoid the hit. He didn’t know what the breath do and didn’t want to find out.

BOOM! Arad unleashed the gravity breath, and the debris flew toward the purple dragon, chasing him across the sky.

“Gravity, it’s following me,” The purple dragon growled, “But it’s only debris,” He swung his claw, shattering the line chasing him.

ZON! Arad appeared above the dragon, opening his jaw.

CLAP! A dark gust of light flashed down, hitting the dragon’s back. The void ate all the air around the dragon’s wings, creating a vacuum, and sucking them back more than they could handle.

The purple dragon could feel the immense stress of his wing joins as the vacuum pulled them back. They almost got dislocated.

The dragon spun around, opening his jaw to blast Arad with Aella. He could always search for another century.

“Where did he go? Wait, he can teleport!” The dragon couldn’t find Arad behind.

ZON! Arad appeared at the dragon’s neck, biting his jugular vein and sucking the blood out. It was then that he could smell it, vampirism and Lycanthropy at the same time.

“This little **er, he’s cursed to the bones.” The purpled dragon fell down, swinging his claw and smacking Arad away.

It was like a human fighter facing a toddler that is a vampire, a werewolf, is fast and can teleport and also use different elements of magic.

BAM! The purple dragon landed, glaring at Arad.

^I can’t kill him without holy magic, he’ll keep regenerating and attacking back.^ He glared at Aella above Arad’s back, ^I almost hit her with him earlier. Should I really give up on this one and kill her?^ He regenerated his neck, glaring at Arad.

“Who the hell are you? Cursed Dragon,” The purple dragon growled. ^He won’t die even if I blast him with a breath, I will only kill her so going all out is out of the question. I need to separate them.^

In the back, Eris finally regenerated her head and stared at the fight with blurry vision. “GAH!” She gasped, recognizing Arad and screaming, “Father! Run!” She shouted her lungs out.

“What?” The purple dragon looked at her.

“It’s the one Claug came to protect, she must be coming toward here!” She knew that the ancient green dragon had an interest in Arad of some kind, and she didn’t want to test that interest limit.

The purple dragon glared at Arad, “So this is the **er that bitch is interested in? I can see why, it’s a rare find.” He growled, “I’m not leaving without that elf.”

“Elf, surrender, or I will burn the city to ash,” The purple dragon growled.

…

“In the days of the holy order,” A voice came from the gate and everyone looked there, it was Lydia.

“In the heart of the holy seat, and in the name of the lords.” She started singing, and everyone could hear a faint which coming from the sky.

“There’s a foe of a thousand swords.” She looked up, and so did everyone.

“Falling from the heavens,”

SWOSH! They could see a giant ball of flames flying down. The drakaina with Jack smiling on her head.
