”Stay with your Trash Friend, Worm! I will fight them myself! Donʼt you dare to interfere!”

Hemlin froze as he was called Worm. That might be because of Forlan. He thought of helping the dragon but decided to bring his friend out of the fight area. His friend might really die if he stayed nearby with his body inside the ice.

Zendia was relieved that the dragon did not want Hemlin to join the fight. If Hemlin joined the fight, then one of them might really die before Burning and Randal arrived.

ʼAs expected of the dragon, the prideful foolish creature.ʼ

He glanced at Carison and nodded. They would make the first move as the figure blurred toward the dragon. His gauntlet blazed in fire as he sent the punch toward the dragonʼs head.

Zendia thought he managed to catch the dragon off guard with how fast he was. He did not see a reaction from the dragon until he was just a few meters away from the dragon.

He felt a heavy hit on his back. The clanking noise echoed in the air as he crashed down to the ground, covered in snow and ice shards.

He crashed while facing the sky, and he saw what hit him. It was the tail. He focused on the massive dragon and did not realize the tail moved.

Ice crystals formed above him, and he immediately got and moved as the ice crystals trailed his movement. He might have a hard body, but he was not going to test whether the ice could break his metal skin.

His back was throbbing, but that was it. The tail strike did not really hurt him because of his sturdy body.

While he made an escape, a flash brightened the sky as Carison sent his blade strike. The blade strike was blinding. That was the signal for him to make the next move.

As soon as he heard the bang sound, Zendia picked up his pace. Running to the back of the dragon. He grinned when the back of the dragon was exposed. He ran for ten meters before leaping to the back of the dragon. Both his gauntlets blazed in fire.

Zendia heard a faint voice, seemingly trying to speak to him. As he got closer to the dragon, the voice became clearer. It was Carisonʼs voice.

”Get out from there, Zendia. It did not work!”

The Martial God then noticed the massive ice wall, standing strong, blocking Carisonʼs sword strike. The blinding strike did not really blind the ice dragon, and the dragon noticed him.

Thousands of ice spikes floated at the back of the dragon, waiting for Zendia to come closer. Zendia punched forward, releasing a bundle of energy in the shape of his punch toward the dragon as the impact pushed him away from the dragon.

The ice spikes and his punch collided in the air as he managed to get away. At least, that was what he thought until he felt something grab his body. The dragonʼs tail coiled around his belly and slammed him down to the ground with his head first.

Boom!

Zendia was dizzy from the impact, and he was slammed again and again. His head was fine, but it still impacted his consciousness. In the fifth slam, he released a burst of lightning from his body, freeing him from the tail.

The first thing to come to his mind was to get away from the dragon. He dashed away and made a distance. He thought he was far enough from the dragon, but as his vision cleared up, he saw the dragon in front of him.

Avyn opened her mouth and blasted the unprepared Martial God. Zendia could not really do anything as he was engulfed by the frost breath, freezing his body.

”What are you doing, Carison!?” Zendia screamed, realizing that Carison did not show his nose even though the dragon was on him all the time.

The black lightning burst out from his body, fighting off the frost aura. The black lightning destroyed the freezing part of his body and freed him. His figure zipped out in the black lightning, escaping from the frost breath.

His figure turned into black lightning, blurring toward the dragonʼs head. His gauntlet was shrouded in the black lightning and hit the dragonʼs chin.

Bang!

It made a loud noise as the black lightning burst out from the punch. Zendiaʼs eyes widened in shock because his punch did nothing to the dragon.

”Itʼs sting a little bit,”

Zendiaʼs eyes widened in shock, but he did not believe that his fist could not hurt this dragon. He kicked the air, pushing himself upward in the air, above the dragonʼs head.

ʼIf one is not enough, then I will hit you many times!ʼ That was what was in Zendiaʼs mind.

But then a mirror made of ice formed above the dragonʼs head. He saw his reflection in the mirror, but he did not think much. He thought it was just a shield made to block his fist.

”What about this!” Zendia used his skill, Thousand Fists. He sent a barrage of punches with each punch covered in black lightning.

However, the mirror did not even crack under his intense assault. His punches failed to leave a dent on the shield. It was still a smooth mirror as the first time it formed.

Soon he realized the mirror was not just a normal shield, but there was more to it. He felt a punch in his face, then followed to his chest and stomach. He quickly realized the mirror ice was reflecting his attacks, all of them.

Zendia received his own thousand fists, and after the thousand fists, the metal skin cracked as his body fell from the air. He landed on the ground with a boom.

The Martial God breathed heavily as he pushed his body, flipping his body. The dragon was right above him, staring at him. Weird enough, the dragon looked disappointed even though he was beaten like this.

ʼWhy did the dragon look so disappointed after beating him?ʼ Weird enough, that was what came into his mind instead of thinking how to get away from here.

Then he realized that Carison never made the second move after the first Sword Flash. He realized that he had been fighting the dragon on his own all this time.

”Are you looking for your friend?” It seemed the dragon could read his mind.

”Your friend fled the moment I reflected on his sword skill. You have been fighting me alone since then.”

Zendiaʼs eyes widened in shock, could not believe that Carison would leave him just like that. That guy did not even tell him before escaping. If Carison said something, he might be able to flee from the dragon as well.
