"Huh, how are you not unconscious too? That ability should've knocked you out too! A mere human can't survive my dream manipulation!" He yelled.
Dream manipulation is a passive ability that places anyone within the designated range under a sleep trance with the snap of the user's finger.
"So the ability you used is dream manipulation, huh? Well, that type of ability won't work on the likes of me." I scoffed.
His lips started to smirk, "Well, that doesn't matter if it can't work on you or not because you're just a weak human." A dark, menacing aura started to release from his body."Once I compress you with my aura, you're done for!"
A "dragon aura" typically refers to the intense intimidating energy or presence that emanates from a powerful dragon. It can represent their innate magic, raw power, or spiritual essence, sometimes causing fear, awe, or even physical effects in those nearby.
He slammed his aura outwards, and the air around him thickened like water under pressure, but I felt nothing.
"What the fuck! Why isn't my aura killing you right now?!" The realization—his aura wasn't affecting me — twisted his face into a snarl.
"Is that all you can do? I thought Dragonoid should be stronger than this. You look like a good kid, so if you stand down, I won't kill you." I chuckled.
Technically, most dragonoids are stronger than the average dragon because, unlike dragons, which are born with the same three abilities, dragonoids are born with five, and each of them is born with a different ability, except for one.
Longshun sneered, "You're cocky for a mere human! I will show you my full power! Aura blaster!"
Aura blaster is an ability that all dragonoids can use because their bodies aren't made to withstand the dragon aura for too long; they use their dragon aura, compress it as large as they want, and then fire it through their mouths.
He charged up his aura blaster and then blasted a giant ball of aura at me. Suddenly, my semi-automatic ability called in inverse offence activated and swapped places with him. One moment, I was facing his attack, the next, I was watching his own aura-blast hurdle directly towards him.
Inverse offence is a semi-automatic ability that can automatically or manually reverse the places of me and the person who targets me with any spiritual energy/grace/reverse grace attack in a 500 metre range.
"Huh, how did I.... Shit, I have to dodge or else I'm done for!" He mumbled to himself.
"Shit, how can a mere human push me; the strongest dragon alive to this point?!" He shouted after he dodged his attack by a hair's breadth of luck.
"I was ordered to kill my senile father with it, but I guess I will use it now and kill my father afterwards." He muttered.
He got up, raised his hand, then chanted "With the power blessed by lord Azazel, come to me, dragon slayer!". Suddenly, his replica dragon slayer sword, called Ryū-goroshi no ken, appeared in his right hand. Ryū goroshi no ken is a sword that is tailored to hurt or kill only dragons and it's the 5th strongest sword in my arsenal.
"With the power and this sword that was given to me by lord Azazel, I'm going to kill you, you human!"
He took a sword stance, charged at me, and swung his sword in his striking range.
"Huh, what's going on, why isn't the sword damaging you?!" He yelled while realizing that the dragon slayer sword isn't hurting me.
"Longshun, was that your name? Do you see that sword you're holding? That sword isn't tailored to hurt or kill anyone except for dragons." I laughed.
He backed away, charged at me, and swung his sword in his striking range again, but, just like last time, it didn't hurt me.
"What's up with this sword? Why...why isn't it cutting you down?!" He confusely uttered.
"Didn't you hear what I just said? That sword is tailored to only hurt or kill dragons. Man, you're calling your father senile, and you're showing symptoms at such a young, fragile age."
"Shut up! A mere human can never know about how my sword works. The only human who knows how my sword works is the hero who wields the original. Just shut up and die, you mere human!" He shouted while pointing the sword at me.
So when I tell him how the damn sword works, he shuts me up and then utters such garbage? I hate teens.
"This had gone on long enough, I told you to stand down and you're not doing it, so let's finish this. With my holy power, I call you now, ryū-goroshi no ken!"
After he saw the original Ryū-goroshi no ken, he fell to his knees because of the killer instinct the sword harbored for the dragons.
"Huh, is... is that the..... no, that can't be. How can a mere human summon the original dragon slayer sword?!" He yelled vigorously.
"Because I'm the hero, or the former hero, duh." I shook my head. "Man, I can't stand stupid people sometimes., I replied.
"Y....you're the hero? That's impossible! Why would the hero be standing here with his biggest enemies?"
"Because I was exiled from the church you idiot. I thought you were working with Barkiel and Azazel, so why didn't they tell you that? Oh, I see, they're using you to take over the dragon nation, then kill you afterwards."
He struggled back to his feet and looked at me with a disoriented expression on his face.
"What do you mean by using me?" He growled. "Lord Azazel will never do that to me. He ordered me to kill my father because he said that my father had gone senile because he didn't want to pick sides with anyone."
"Ok, now that he's gone, you guys can get up now," I muttered.
"So you knew that we weren't sleeping?" Belphegor chuckled.
Was I born yesterday? I know that weak ability won't work on them, too.
"Anyway, now that we know that Azazel was the one who ordered him to kill our troops and was about to kill you, Longshen, we have to do something about those feather-brained."
"I think we should join a temporary alliance to take him down," Longshen replied.
"Why don't I just go over there and kill him myself?" I chimed in while grinning.
"No! I know you're strong, but don't forget that he's still an angel, and a very powerful one who rivals the archangels at that. We should think about what to do and come up with some countermeasures first." Mammon uttered.
And that's how the devils and the dragon join a temporary alliance to take down a bigger threat.
Meanwhile, back in the Azazel domain, "Shit, the hero took down Longshun before we could take the dragon nation for ourselves! You're going to pay for what he did, bastard!"
