"Hahaha~
Father! Just like this!"
Cirri laughed heartily as Kael continued to dodge attacks from all three sides. The battle had continued for 30 minutes now and Kael's superiority couldn't be questioned.
Brontis' sword attacks were reduced to a free ride that pushed him far, far away, and while the lightning infused in his sword did hurt him, with his regeneration, he was back to full health in no ti.
Crymorea's spells were never a threat. As the Sky Dragon, Cirri's influence was spread all over the sky. The dragon had covered every single part of the sky, and it was impossible to hide anything from her. With Cirri acting as Kael's eyes, he learned about the incoming spells the mont the Harpy started chanting, giving him all the ti in the world to dodge them.
Zepharion wasn't any different either. The serpent's strategy was to bite him in half. The problem with that, however, was that Kael was faster than him. To get Kael, he needed to take him by surprise, which again was impossible because Cirri kept an eye on everything that was happening here.
The only way for the trio to defeat Kael was for them to surround him, which Kael made sure never happened. His movents in the air had beco so much more refined that he felt like the King of the Air. He would fall, rise, dodge, attack—all at perfect tis. Repositioning himself in the air was much easier than on the ground, giving him a boost in his agility. Catching Kael in one place in order to surround him had beco next to impossible ever since he had beco used to moving here.
Even when more and more ti passed, and the trio's attacks beca much more dangerous, Kael stayed calm—confident, even.
"Co."
He grinned at the enemies.
The battle intensified.
As if enraged,
"KREEEEEEKKK!!"
Cymorea shrieked. Her eyes glowed brighter, the mist around her body twisted violently as her spells ca even faster.
"Cirri."
Kael called out.
"Let's end this, Father!"
Cirri nodded in a confident tone, and in an instant, Kael's eyes changed.
He wasn't going to just dodge anymore—it was ti for him to make a move.
[Draconic Surge]
For the first ti since the battle had started, he used a skill.
Whoosh
The wind under his foot pushed him forward, and with his now enhanced agility, Kael weaved through the air like it was water. He ducked low, passed under Zepharion, then pushed up with Cirri's wind and soared into the clouds.
It was fast—so fast that Cymorea only realized where he was after he was already there.
But it was already too late.
The mont the Harpy looked up—
"Now, Father! Dive!"
Kael dove.
Bam
His foot struck Cymorea's chest.
"KREEEEEEKKK!!"
The Harpy scread as she spiraled down, her feathers scattering as she fell.
The instant his kick connected, Kael activated another one of his abilities,
[Ancient Pulse]
For the next 15 seconds, magic far greater than what he, as a human, had access to was now under his command.
Cymorea's allies, however, did not care about that.
"ROAAAAAAARRRR!!!!"
Zepharion roared, getting Kael's attention, but then—
"Brace!"
Cirri raised her voice.
Without thinking, Kael raised his sword and braced for impact.
Clank
His sword blocked Brontis' swing. As their swords clashed, Kael was sent flying once again. For so odd reason, this ti, the lightning did more damage than before; his entire arm was scorched.
Not that Kael had the ti to worry about it—a surge of wind nudged his right shoulder. He understood the signal and slid left, just enough to dodge the Serpent's tail.
Indeed, this ti, the Serpent had calculated how far Brontis was going to throw Kael and attacked accordingly.
They were improving.
What's even worse?
They weren't stopping.
"The Colossus is coming!"
Cirri warned.
Kael looked around and saw the giant being flying towards him at full speed. It wasn't just him—the Serpent that had just missed was coming toward him as well.
If this was a normal aerial battle, where Kael had no way to move mid-air, this would have been the end.
But a normal aerial battle it was not.
Kael had a way to move.
With Cirri moving the air beneath his feet, he changed his direction mid-air. It was so sudden that it would buy enough ti for him to stabilize… if his opponents weren't what they were.
In front of his opponents, however, this move was not as helpful as Kael expected.
The thing was, unlike Kael, who needed to rely on Cirri to move around, these beings could actually fly. They did not need any 'footing' to change their direction mid-air—they could do it naturally, like flying beasts. No matter how good Kael got, he could never be better than them when it ca to aerial movent, not unless he used [Ascendant of the Ancients.]
The mont Kael changed his direction, Brontis and Zepharion did the sa.
There was no way out.
His scorched arm hadn't regenerated yet either. Brontis, whose speed was faster than his in the air, was closing the distance at a scary pace. Zepharion was already close to him, so even though the Flying Serpent's speed was slower than his, Kael couldn't escape since his movent wasn't free.
It was a pointless struggle, especially considering his [Draconic Surge] and [Draconic Strike] were in cooldown.
In the end, even when Kael tried to change his direction multiple tis in order to escape or buy so ti, Brontis and Zepharion still managed to close the distance.
THUNDER
CRACKLING
Brontis charged his sword with much denser lightning than before, preparing the final attack. Once he was prepared, the Colossus swung his sword with all his might,
Slice
Cutting Kael in half.
And as if that wasn't enough,
Whoosh
Zepharion's large body moved right past Kael as he—
BITE
As he bit Kael's head off.
Kael's body, which was now divided into two parts—a headless upper body and a lower body—hovered in the air as his blood splurged all over the place.
Yes, the battle was over.
