Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse

Chapter 57 - Faster

The Black Dragon flew through the skies and neared the large battlefield where many beings were dying every minute. His arrival spread fear to many of the hunters below as the large figureʼs shadow passed above their heads

He circled the skies of the battlefield and checked on the progress of the fight and saw his forces gradually being pushed back. He snorted as he flew back and landed near one of his generals, asking for the updates

The war was at a stalemate until one human began rampaging and taking out the leaders of his quadrants. They could only surround this human in groups and tire him out, but many deaths occured because of him

He had not been seen in the field for a few hours, when he popped up a few hours later, went on another killing spree, and then disappeared again. This was why their forces were being pushed back currently

Hmph, just one human thinks they can change the course of things right now? The dragon thought disdainfully as he recalled the remaining kingdom where humans were still widespread back in his world

The kingdom was one of the few still resisting, but just like everyone else who submitted, they would fall in time. The only reason they were still standing was because of their geographic location that allowed for prolonged battles

But the humans on this planet? They were far too weak

The dragon rose in the air once more as he shouted commands and made his way into the field of battle once again. Pity for the lower natives was placed aside as he saw the deaths that continued to occur on both sides

If he kills them and breaks their wills in totality, he would reduce many more future deaths that will occur because of prolonged battles. He would put aside his injury and go all out, showing them a taste of true strength so this fight can end faster for both sides.

Kazuhiko had just gotten the word that the Black Dragon had circled around the battlefield a few minutes back. He got up from the location he was recuperating in as he excitedly stood up and rushed out

The beast had come at a perfect time when he was almost finished recovering his mana. This meant he would get to fight this monster with his full strength!

His excited body moved to the front of the battlefield as his katana was pulled out. He listened to the woes and screams of the battles as his blood pumped and he looked to the skies

They were clear and blue, with the light dimming as dusk was setting in. His blade cut down any beasts he neared as he kept his focus in the sky, waiting expectantly for the figure of the large beast to show itself

He didnʼt wait too long as a majestic beast appeared in the skies, its wide wings outstretched as a roar escaped its dangerous jaws. The ground below it became hectic as its forces were bolstered and fought back harder

Kazuhiko became excited at this sight and his body began ballooning twice his normal size. He put strength in his legs and like a string, shot up into the sky towards the large flying reptile

[Dominatorʼs Sword Wave] was casted as his katana began to glow and released a destructive wave towards the right wing of the dragon.

The instant he neared, the dragon seemed to have sensed him in the air and shifted its body at a great speed, the large wings that were parallel to the ground suddenly shifted upwards, and [Dominatorʼs Sword Wave] was evaded

The world slowed down as the dragonʼs piercing eyes looked at this human that had a wild look in his eyes as he fell down towards the ground.

Kazuhikoʼs body that had lost its momentum smashed into the ground, his face still turned up to the skies as he was falling down. The dragon that had evaded its strike turned its head down and was now diving towards him

He let out a laugh as his katana began glowing again, ready to release another attack as soon as the dragon neared. But, the dragonʼs dive was stopped prematurely as its wings spread out and it floated in their air, its wide jaws opening instead

[Dragonʼs Breath] made its appearance for the first time in this world

VROOM!!!

The field rumbled as roiling flames spread out from the wide jaws of the dragon like a fan and struck the ground. Any beast or hunter that was remotely near the breath disintegrated

Kazuhikoʼs figure couldnʼt be seen on the ground. The dragon used its sharp senses and felt another sword wave coming from the sky. The hunter striking down had a devilish expression as he forced every ounce of strength from his body

The moment he had felt the heat emanating from the dragonʼs jaws, he had sprung up in the air even faster than the first time, the breath barely missing him as he rose in the air and unleashed his attacks when he was going down

[Dominatorʼs Sword Wave] finally landed on the back of the hard scales of the dragon.

DING!

Like metal striking on metal, an unpleasant sound came out as only a white scratch could be seen on the dragonʼs back. Kazuhiko was shocked at this level of defense as his face turned serious and he landed on the back of the dragon

A furious roar came out from the beast as it felt the puny human stepping on its body, and it began rolling in the air as its wide wings provided a rotational force

Kazuhiko held on to the hard scales as the dragon rolled in the air, swinging his katana and trying to damage the beastʼs body as much as possible.

[Blade Dance] was casted as he let go of the scale he was holding on and moved beautifully in the direction the dragon was rotating in. Countless white scratches appeared on the dragonʼs body as his dance propelled him to use the force the dragon was making into his own use

His adrenaline rushed as he laughed in the air, for he was doing something that made him truly thrilled. He was dancing in the air with a dragon!

The white scratches started to become dents with every swing of his sword, and he felt like he would soon see the blood spill out of this dragonʼs body if he kept going

Seeing the human still holding on and even sullying his powerful body, the dragon stopped rolling in the air as black smoke covered it entirely. A second later, the large body completely disappeared as a human figure stood in the air

”Impetuous!”

A loud shout came out of the dragon in human form as it casted [Esoteric Energy Manipulation], forming a transparent fly swatter in the air that smashed into the body of the shocked Kazuhiko

SLAP!

Like a speeding bullet, the hunterʼs figure smashed into the ground in less than a second. The impact was gruesome, taking away the hopes of many hunters that were watching The Dark Sword battle the dragon

The beast in human form stood majestically in the sky at it used its ability again, this time forming a wide transparent spear with a sharp edge that rushed down to where the unbridled hunter was

Kazuhiko laid on the ground, feeling a few bones broken as he saw the enormous spear covering his entire view.

So, he actually wasnʼt strong enough to stand against this beast!

A devilish smile came back on his face as his bloodied mouth let out painful laughs. It was a good fight. If he was weak and meant to die, he would face it head on

The bloodied laugh rang out as the immense transparent spear came down. A rushing rank A hunter and those ranked lower filled in to the burnt surroundings and performed their skills, aiming them towards this spear to slow its descent as the smell of despair spread out in the surroundings

There was a flash of green light as the spear thundered down and drowned the laughs of the man about to face his death
