Chapter 208 Light Drake Part 1

After traveling for a while, Maria kept walking in random directions until finally, something interesting happened.

*ROAR*

A mountainous roar was heard in the distance with caused Aaron's group to freeze in fear while Maria and Celaine readied their weapons.

Not long after the roar was heard, a large, scaly creature was seen soaring through the air towards their position.

"You might want to back up a bit," Celaine spoke to Aaron and the others to which they subconsciously nodded and backed away.

The creature soon came into view and they nearly mistook it for a dragon, but it wasn't nearly as intimidating as the Frost-Fire Phoenix.

It was covered in bright yellow scales with a 5-meter long wingspan and looked like a mini version of a Dragon.

"Mid-Rank 6 Light drake…" Vivian muttered seeing the beast and decided to back up a bit more.

Maria didn't say anything as this beast might be a bit of a problem. Although she's sure that she and Celaine can kill it, things might not go so smoothly due to it being a beast with a dragon bloodline.

It's just… thinking about the sweet sweet loot from this drake makes her want to salivate. Whether it be the scales, blood, heart, or the crystals attached to the scales, they will surely bring her immense benefits and increase her comprehension in her Light Dao, cultivation speed, and she can even temper her body.

Celaine was thinking about something similar, but she wasn't going to be greedy. Maria would be able to make the most out of this drake while if she were to use its body, sure, she'd experience some growth, but it would be better to just give it all to Maria.

As soon as the drake came into full view, Maria wasted no time and jumped straight in, attacking it.

Celaine moved at exactly the same time as Maria, proving just how coordinated the two of them are.

The drake seemed to be planning on shooting some sort of light beam out of its mouth, but Maria and Celaine didn't want to give it a chance to do so.

Maria aimed for the stomach while Celaine tried to make her way on top of the drake, but of course, things wouldn't be so easy.

The Light Drake swung its tail at Celaine while swiping its claw at Maria. Maria was forced to defend herself and slashed at its claw instead but was unable to deal any sort of damage to it.

The same goes for Celaine as her saber only left a mark on its tail, not even causing it to bleed.

Their moods turned somber as they realized that this was going to be much harder than they originally thought.

The drake, seemingly perfectly fine, also squinted its eyes a bit as it understood that these two girls pack a serious punch. It didn't want to admit it, but it felt that it might actually get injured if it was careless. Nevertheless, they trespassed into its territory so they must pay the price!

The three had a bit of a stare-off for a few seconds before dashing at each other.

The Light-drake decided to take out Celaine first since she's clearly the weakest of the two, then dealing with Maria will be a bit easier.

Celaine, understanding this fact, knew that her doing any real damage to this drake without attacking its weak spots is unlikely. She did have one thing going for her though: her speed! In air, land, and sea she's the fastest out of Mira, Maria, and herself.

She's confident that she can keep this overgrown lizard busy while Maria deals the real damage. She can also look out for any weak spots and strike those whenever she finds a chance.

The two didn't need to say anything as this was how they usually worked together when they spar against a stronger opponent, mainly Mira.

Seeing how the drake's full attention was on Celaine, activated her Light Sword and prepared a Triple Draws attack.

She knew that most beasts that have a dragon bloodline are incredibly durable, but the sides of their stomach and the section underneath them are usually their softest body parts.

Maria didn't delay any longer, she sprouted Light Wings on her back and circulated light around her feet as well. She didn't want to give the Light Drake the chance to react.

With everything ready, Maria shot across the land light a bolt of light leaving only a trail of gold in her wake.

The Light Drake sensed danger, but before it could even respond to the danger, a large gash appeared on its side as blood started shooting out of this wound.

*ROAARRR*

The drake roared angrily as these puny humans dared to injure it. He, the great Light Drake, actually got injured by a couple of weaklings?!

The drake understood that although it wasn't going to die from this injury, it wasn't going to heal anytime soon. Its combat power might even dip if it doesn't deal with this injury soon! It swung its tail as fast as possible at Maria and understood that this human is actually dangerous, more dangerous than it originally thought.

Maria retreated as fast as possible, but the drake's tail was able to graze her, sending her flying.

She felt her internal organs shuffling around with that hit and it definitely broke her arm and a few ribs at the very least.

Seeing Maria soar through the air, Celaine knew things weren't going as well as they had hoped, but she wasn't too worried about Maria.

She understood more than anyone that Maria was just like a cockroach, a masochist cockroach. In fact, she wouldn't be surprised if Maria spends more time having broken bones than being n peak shape. Taking that hit from the Light Drake basically put her in her most comfortable state, injured.

Unfortunately, she was the only one who knew that Maria had broken bones on a daily basis because of Mira. Aaron's group watched Maria soar through the air and their faces turned pale.

Maria didn't care about any of this and twisted her body in a position that allowed her to land.

"Sigh… stupid lizard, that hurt. How will I be able to face Mira now? She'll definitely drill me if she ever finds out I got injured because of a beast like you! Take responsibility and die stupid lizard!" Maria pouted seeing how part of her chest caved in, her shoulder dislocated, and a bone protruding out of her arm.

Celaine wanted to facepalm hearing Maria complain like a child but wasn't given the time to retort as she chased after the drake who was currently chasing Maria down.
