Chapter 258: Calamity Level - Lightning Dragon (Part 6)

I fired a burst of Negative Energy from my feet to launch myself up into the air as Aria-...I mean, Ai...-raced away to her right.I grimaced as Raixel leapt forward and grabbed my left leg before I could get out of his reach, swinging me down and slamming me against the ground with a jarring impact, eliciting a sharp gasp of pain from me as the force rattled my bones.

My vision blurred upon impact, before I gritted my teeth and fired out a burst of Negative Energy from my left foot, hitting his face, his grip over my leg loosening.

I wrenched free of his grasp right as Ai came charging in from his left, leaping forward as she closed in and whipped Desecrator across at his side.

With his left eye destroyed, Raixel was slow to react, Ai inflicting a deep gash across his left bicep before he bashed her away with a powerful whip of his tail, striking her stomach and sending her hurtling back, before turning his attention back to me as I leapt straight towards him.

I let out a agonized wheeze of pain as his claws plunged into my stomach and burst out my back, coughing out blood with a sharp gasp, my body seizing up as he generated lightning around his arm.

"What a foolish, desperate move, did you really think-...?" He began, before I cut him off as I fired out a blast of Negative Energy from my mouth, hitting his face.

Before I jumped in, I manifested Drain, hiding it behind my back. And as he began electrocuting me with his lightning, I phased Drain into my body and engulfed his arm, consuming the lightning.

I formed a pair of Negative Energy blades in both hands and jammed them into his forearm, a sharp gasp of pain ringing out as I branched the blades out into spikes inside his arm.

Suddenly, he slammed the stump of his right arm against the side of my head, dazing me before whipping his left arm across, hurling me away right as I compressed my Negative Energy blades and released them, sharp bursts erupting inside his arm as he flung me away.

As I skidded against the ground, blood poured out of his left arm, several spots across his forearm deeply ruptured from my attack, trembling in pain as he struggled to move it, before he roared and shot towards me.

He raised his foot as he closed in, I began to try and scramble back onto my feet, but I was too slow to react, his foot slamming onto the middle of my chest, eliciting a sharp gasp as I felt several ribs snap like twigs upon impact, blood pouring out of my mouth as he dug his heel in viciously, a murderous look in his eyes.

"Now, you die!" He snarled, before snapping his jaws at my head.

"<Command: Don’t Move>!"

Right as his jaws began to close around my head, he froze in place, as I gritted my teeth and jammed my right hand into his open mouth and down his throat, firing out a wild, uncontrolled barrage of Negative Energy blasts, before I yelled sharply as he broke free of the effect of Command and clamped his jaws around my arm, yanking me off the ground as he jerked his head up, before spinning across with a violent twist, flinging me away as he ripped my forearm off, a spray of blood bursting out as I got sent flying across the space.

A vicious spark and crackle rang out as immense lightning burst out all around him, before several massive, dancing streaks of lightning erupted up, tearing across the ground in every direction.

I let out an excruciating cry of pain as one of the streaks collided against the middle of my body agonizingly, vaporizing the armor around that spot and deeply scorching my skin and flesh, a sickening sizzle ringing out from my exposed flesh as I shakily focused on regenerating...I-I’m running low on Mana, I’m healing way too slowly.

A thud echoed out as Raixel collapsed onto one knee, blood pouring out of his mouth as he let out a sharp wheeze, clouds of black smoke rising up all around the space...he grimaced as he shakily got back onto his feet, clutching his chest before stiffening and turning his gaze across as Ai came charging in towards him, zipping out of one of the smoke clouds.

She slashed at his head with Desecrator, before his tail suddenly shot up and snared her neck, a choked gasp echoing out as he lifted her off her feet with a dark look in his eyes.

D-Damn it, no...!

I-I can’t muster up the strength to even charge up Negative Energy, let alone move...come on, I need to heal faster...!

"I will rip your head off your shoulders!" Snapped Raixel, my chest tightening as I desperately tried to get back up, as he swung his jaws open...right as a Negative Energy blade suddenly burst out the left side of his chest, a startled gasp ringing out.

Is that...?

His tail suddenly convulsed as Ai clamped her left hand around it and unleashed Mana Pulse, breaking free of its grasp, her feet hitting the ground with a soft thud, Raixel starting to turn towards her while simultaneously driving his left elbow back, a furious look on his face.

The Negative Energy blade twisted sharply, his body stiffening up in pain right as his elbow collided against something behind him, before his eyes widened in alarm as I took aim and fired out piercing beam of Negative Energy towards his head, grazing the right side of his face as he tilted his head across, my attack leaving him wide open for an instant...

A violent shudder of pain erupted across his body as Ai lunged forward and drove Desecrator up, piercing through the left side of his head, plunging into his brain, the blade bursting out the other side...
