Chapter 33 - Sly Dragon

"BIG FAT UGLY LIZARD, WAKE UP!!!!!" As Gray sound shouted. The entire hall started to shake and many iron objects started to move to make noise around.

Hearing Gray words from afar. Legolas and Tauriel who was hiding were stunned. Normally no one will try to upset their enemy like that. But Gray actually trying to upset the Dragon like this. Even though they were scared by Gray's act. A smile also appeared on their face.

"BOOM" Suddenly from the middle of the gold ocean a gigantic creature appeared scratching all the gold around him.

"Who dares!!!!!" the dragon Smaug, awakened by the noise around, and heard Gray words. So he's very angry right now. Someone actually dares to enter his palace and call him Ugly lizard? See how this lizard will eat you and no bones will be left.

As Smaug completely stood up. Gray saw the real version. When Gray heard Smaug say; "My armor is like tenfold shields, my teeth are swords, my claws spears, the shock of my tail is a thunderbolt, my wings a hurricane, and my breath death!" in the movie. He always thought its just Dragon arrogance. But it's not. This guy really has such power.

"Is it you, who dares to make this noise" Smaug found Gray whos floating on the air and looked at him.

Smaug's eyes gave Gray a great pressure, but Gray still looked at Smaug's golden eyes directly. Even though he was surprised by Smaug's moment. He won't shake. The dragon is stong? Of course, he is. But Gray doesn't think he will lose.

A grin appeared on his face and said; "Yes it's me" Gray didn't speak much with him and waved his hands directly.

The iron columns around Smaug suddenly shattered and fell on the Smaug's body.

"WHAT" It was already late for Smaug to react, and the columns fall on him directly.

"HOW DARE YOU..." But naturally, this didn't hurt him... He directly pushed the columns away and wanted to attack Gray. But the moment he looked at Gray direction a smell dagger shining a blue light penetrated his eye.

"AWHOOOO" Feeling the pain from his eye, Smaug yelled and used his breath to emit fire around him.

Gray saw this monster's flame. and directly moved back away from Smaug, then became invisible waiting for the best chance to destroy his another eye.

Slowly floating around watching Smaug rambunctious, destroying everything around him. Gray felt that he did the right choice by letting Legolas and Tauriel say back and hide for the time being. If he didn't have the ability to fly away and hide. He probably will be killed by this crazy dragon.

"Where are you, show yourself, you damn bug !!!!" Smaug was very angry at this moment. Who is he? Smaug The Dragon, he can't remember when the last time someone was able to hurt him like this. And now a little elf actually came to his place awakened him called him a lizard and finally destroyed his eyes. No one can imagine how angry at this moment he was.

But soon he calmed down. And started to feel everything around him. Soon he looked at Gray's location. Even though Gray is invisible right now. But he can't hide his breath and smell.

The moment he felt Gray breath. Smaug wanted to fly toward him directly and use his breath again to burn him even if he can't see him.

But suddenly Smaug stopped and looked at another direction. Suddenly a sly smile appeared on his face. And directly flew toward the other direction.

When Gray saw Smaug looking at his location, he realized that Smaug already found where he's hiding and was ready to move away. But after seeing the cunning smile that suddenly appeared on his face. Gray felt a bad feeling on his heart. As if something bad will happen.

And something bad really happened. Smaug actually went on the direction that Legolas and Tauriel hid in.

Smaug found the smell of Legolas and Tauriel. And realized that Gray has a companion here. So he wanted to use them as bait to attract Gray. Even though Smaug thinks with his breath he can kill Gray. But his revengeful personality won't allow him to do this. His hatred for Gray is so big, he wants to catch Gray alive and torture him slowly.

Gray didn't stay still, directly revealed himself, and screams toward Smaug; "Ugly lizard where do you think you're going?"

Smaug paused for a second and looked at Gray who has shown himself, but he ignored Gray and continued his path.

"Damn" Gray was really annoyed by Smaug's act. He directly used his ability and threw everything he can control around him toward Smaug. But Smaug's defense is really strong. None of what Gray used was able to hurt him even a bit.

One dragon one elf. The elf follows the dragon while he controls all the metal around. throwing them toward the dragon. From time to time the dragon tries to attack the elf. But the elf was so slippery, non of the dragon attacks were able to hit him.

...

Legolas and Tauriel already know that the dragon was moving toward their location. They don't panic and calmly took their positions.

Tauriel climbed the high column and hid behind so the Dragon cant notices her when he reaches here. And Legolas took the bow from his back and aimed an arrow toward the place where the dragon will appear.

Soon the dragon appeared on Legolas aiming range.

"Now" Legolas directly shot the arrow in his hand.

"WISHHH" The arrow was fast. Aim at Smaug's other eye.

Before fighting the Dragon, Gray made a plan with them. If he couldn't kill the Dragon by himself he will attract him to here. And Legolas with Tauriel will find a chance and give the Dragon a good strick.

But what they didn't expect. That the dragon will come here first and Gray will be the one who follows.

Smaug was more careful since he lost one eye already. He directly moved his face away and used his body to crush Legolas.

But this did not let Legolas panic. He directly jumped up to the side and his body flew away.

Gray waved his hand and controlled Legolas away from the Dragon. This is also a way Gray thought of before. He told both Legolas and Tauriel to put some iron in their clothes so he can help them if something wrong happened.

Smaug saw that Legolas escaped from his attack. He moved his tail to attack toward Gray who was already close to him.

It this moment Tauriel was hiding above. She took the sword that Gray gave to her Glamdring. And looked at Smaug under her.

Seeing Smuag ready to attack Gray. She took the chance and jumped from above aiming toward Smaug's head.

Gray saw this. But the bad feeling was still there. Suddenly Gray saw Smaug smiled the same sly smile again.

"NOO." Gray realized that Smaug was playing with them. He directly waved his hand again and pushed Tauriel away.

As he expected, Smaug suddenly raised his head toward Tauriel and emitted fire from his mouth.

Seeing this scene Tauriel was scared. If Gray didn't save her in time. She will probably be burned to death.

"Gray take this" Tauriel threw the sword in her hand toward Gray.

Seeing Glamdring flew toward him. Gray directly grab it and then turned around on defense position while whispering [Block].

"TINGG" Smaug tail hit the sword in Gray's hand. And a weird scene appeared. A giant dragon tail couldn't even move Gray who was in front of him, not even one step.

[Block] is the skill Gray copied from mary before he crosses this world. It's a very magical skill. As long as the enemy is not much stronger than you, you will be able to completely block his attack. But the cooldown is very long about 24h.

Seeing that he was able to block the tail attack. Gray directly waved his sword toward Smaug's tail. Smaug tail was directly cut to two halves. And the dragon blood splashed on Gray.

"DAMN BUG, THAT HURTS, THAT HURTS!" Feeling the pain from his tail, Smaug started shouting. And the anger on his heart increased. He directly used his claws to attack Gray again.

Gray Directly used his ability to fly away. But he found that Legolas still around. So he also pushed him away.

But when Gray wanted to run away, the dragon was faster. With his head as a whip, and hit Gray's body.

"GRAY!!!X2" Seeing Gray was hit by Smaug like this, both Legolas and Tauriel were scared!.

Gray didn't think Smaug will attack in this way. Who will think this Dragon will shamelessly use his head as wipe like this.

Gray was laying on the gold the armor on his chest was broken. And a big wound was on his chest.

His blood and the dragon blood that splashed on him before are mixed together. while he laying there.

Smaug saw that Gray finely down, he felt good in his heart. And slowly walked toward Gray.

"STOP" Legolas and Taureil saw Smaug walking toward Gray. Both of them tried their best to reach Gray before the dragon. But when Gray pushed them, he pushed them far away. because the range attack of the dragon was so big. So they weren't able to reach Gray fast.

"Worm actually trying to challenge me. You will die here. All you ever know will die after you. All the elves on this world I'll burn them" Smaug started talking while looking at Gray. His anger won't stop by killing Gray. He can see that Gray is an elf. So his hatred will be directed toward elves after killing Gray.

Gray at this moment didn't care about Smaug's words. But was trying his best to move. But his body didn't even pledge.

"Will I die like this?" Gray couldn't move nor use his ability to move himself. He really couldn't understand, why will he failed, why will he lose on this way. One hit, just one hit and he lost the ability to move.

"I'm still so weak" The more he thought. the angrier he is. He's angry with himself. At the X-man world, he missed the best chance to get stronger. Because he didn't understand his ability clearly. In this world, he tried his best to became stronger. He became an elf, copied good fighting skills. Found a god-level artifact and even started to build a team that he can go with and trust in the future. But still lost for the dragon with one hit.

"I refuse to accept" Gray really doesn't want to die here. Finally, he can get stronger. Finally, he found a good companion. Finally he...

Gray didn't notice that the ring on his hand at this time was shining a black light slowly moving toward the wound on his chest.

"I won't let you die like this. You should suffer more before you die" Smaug can see that Gray is losing his breaths slowly so he wanted to burn Gray to death. At least suffer more before he really dies.

Smaug directly used his breath and burned Gray and everything around him.

"NOO!" Tauriel screamed as she watches the flames eating Gray. But Legolas looked at all of this with weird eyes. Before the fire reaches Gray. He saw a Black Light suddenly appeared around Gray. There's a hope inside him. Hope that Gray didn't really die and that black light should save Gray. If Gray really dies like this, he and Tauriel will also die!.

Smaug carefully watches the fire in front of him. As if trying to memorize everything in his mind.

He slowly turned his toward Legolas and Tauriel.

"Now it's your turn" Since he couldn't torture Gray as he wants. Smaug wants to target his anger on them.

"DING DIN DAN" But before he could do anything, Suddenly the gold inside the entire mountain became restless. Every piece of gold started shaking.

"What is this" Looking at the gold around him, a bad feeling appeared on Smaug's heart.

Legolas and Tauriel saw this scene. Then looked at Gray's direction.

From the flames, a very weird Black light was shining.

"He's not dead" this idea appeared on both Legolas and Tauriel's minds. Looking at the Black light Legolas did not stay still and walked back slowly while holding the Bow on his hand.

Then he took the Black arrow that gave him before entering here. Gray told him before that the dragon should have an old scale wound on his body. And he already found it on the last fight. So he will try to kill Smaug when the chance appears.

Smaug also notices the black light. Looking at this black light, the bad feeling in his heart grows more and more.

If you look inside the black light you can see a shadow standing there. Slowly this shadow became more and more clear.

"TING" Suddenly all the noise around stopped. The fire around disappeared.

And at this moment the shadow inside the black light also opened his eyes.

But it wasn't normal eyes.

But two Golden dragon eyes, staring at Smaug.

"You're not dead".....
