Chapter 74 - Chapter 72: Cold Sneezes and Hot Piss

"Look, I'm not sure how you know me or what vendetta you have against me. Maybe if we talk it out, preferably when you are not in your draconic form, we can reasonably settle things and–"

"YOU MADE MY LIFE HELL. NOW I WILL TAKE YOU TO HELL!"

"See? Now that's something we have in common. Let's be adults and–"

"ACHOO!!!"

"?!"

The dragon abruptly sneezes. In addition to the blast of air that's more than enough to blow Vex along with the surrounding vegetation away, what can be described as cold essence launches towards him as though it were an avalanche. By the skin of his teeth, Vex maneuvers his body to avoid the attack, though its effects were not completely nullified.

"Oh, so that's why it suddenly felt freezing cold…"

This isn't going well–the coldness that this dragon produces makes moving my body harder the more heat I lose. Worse, I have no idea how to defeat it. 

"...has that day come for me already?"

The dragon wipes its nose, cleaning the bit of snot residue. However by doing so, its nose begins to charge up.

"AH…AH…AHHH…"

"!!!"

Don't tell me, a second sneeze is coming?! I barely could avoid the first one, and even then it still affected me! 

Vex frantically searches his surroundings.

Maybe I could make a run towards the tunnel…no, then it would end up harming the others while going after me, defeating the entire purpose.

Then perhaps holding on to a nearby tree, boulder, or something sturdy?

"If I can just make it over there!"

Vex, doing his best to survive, tries moving his body, but his legs fail to respond to his sense of urgency–they are completely numb. 

"Crap, I won't make it in time! Then I have to–"

"CHOOO!"

"Ack!"

Unable to avoid the sneeze, Vex takes the brunt of it and succumbs to its pressure. The wind launches him into the air, right in front of the face of the dragon. Fully recovered from its sneeze, it stares at Vex, piercing him with its cold, obsidian eyes. Seizing this opportunity, it snatches Vex out of the air, tightly gripping him–at least 3 times as strong as when it held Flenn.

"...eck!"

I can't even wiggle my body anymore…but if I do nothing, all of this would be in vain. It's fine if I go to hell–however, I'm not solo at the moment. If hell has truly come for me…

"...then I'll…make…it…earn it!"

"SILENCE. YOUR VERY BREATH DISGUSTS ME. I WILL RETURN THE FAVOR AND MAKE SURE THAT'LL BE A PROBLEM NO LONGER."

"Return the favor"? What did I ever do to it in the first place? The last time I ever encountered a dragon was…it was when…!

While I was a teen! I can hardly recall the events, but a little bit is slowly coming back to me…

"THAT UGLY LOOK ON YOUR FACE–DO YOU FIND PLEASURE IN YOUR SIN?"

"Just..like l-last…time…you…won't..kill…me!"

The bait has been placed. Now for the payoff!

The dragon exhales a gust of wind from its nostrils so powerful, it blows Vex's pants off as well as the clothes on his lower body–including his undergarments, slowly drifting towards the ground below.

"..."

I have no words.

The dragon disregards the unsightly appearance of Vex and tosses him into its mouth, gnawing his body.

CRUNCH!

"EhAAAH!"

Blood trickles from Vex's legs as it is being gnawed by the dragon's fangs.

"I can't feel my lower body–I can't control it…but something is coming out!"

PISS

A clear liquid erupts from Vex's body, into the dragon's mouth, right down its throat, then into its windpipe, and then–

"?!! BLEEEH!"

With its gag reflex triggered, the dragon regurgitates Vex out of its mouth, launching him towards the earth in a thin saliva coating.

"IT BURNS! MY THROAT BURNS!"

The acidic burn in the dragon's throat and lungs forces it into a coughing frenzy. Agitated and unable to do much else, it flies away into the sky, finally leaving the islet. 

Rustle

"Omph!"

I'm grateful that I was spat out towards this treetop instead headfirst onto the ground…but man does it still sting. 

Gathering himself from the impact, Vex carefully climbs down the tree and recovers his undergarments.

"That's the first time I weaponized my piss. At least Flenn and Sylow didn't see my humiliation ritual. Speaking of…"

Vex turns towards the tunnel passage, the mountainous structure beckoning him to enter at last.

"With heat returning to my body, I can muscle forward to meet the others. Whatever is on the other side better be worth it."

Looks like hell wasn't strong enough this time. It'll have to wait just a little longer.
