Chapter 719 The Dragon-eating Ape
The giant apes that prey on young dragons. By eating dragon's flesh, scales, and horns, they can temporarily gain elemental powers and use those to hunt.
Gojo sat on the stone peak, looking down with a smile. His blue eyes faintly sparked as he observed every drop of magic flowing in the air.
Sebas's muscles expanded?a bit, and his gray hair spiked, flashing with blue mana sparks. The ground around his feet cracked as two ox-like horns emerged on his head, and a long ape tail swung from his back.
The silver dragon smiled, "I'm not interested in you, monkey. That one is Arad's brother, seems like an accomplishment for me to smite."
"Really? I don't think so." Gojo said?with a mocking voice, "The one you call monkey is more than enough to deal with the likes of you."
The silver dragon snorted, "I'll smack you down with his corps." [Time Stop]
He flew forward and swung his fist at Sebas's head, "It's over."
Sebas dodged, and the dragon gasped.?Time was still stopped.
He swung again, but Sebas still dodged with ease. Even the barrage of fists that followed failed to hit the?old man.
"What are you?!" The silver dragon screamed as Sebas caught his hand and kicked him in the guts, sending him flying into a massive boulder.
"An old decrepit hunter."
At the peak of the stone peak, Gojo burst laughing. "You're a dragon. Do you think hunting wyrmlings and young dragons is easy? An angry parent is always around."
The silver dragon stood from the rubble, "I see. Your kind needs some warriors to keep the parents at bay. You're that monster. What a pain, and it doesn't explain why you could move in the stopped time." Updated from novelbIn.(c)om
^Sebas can't move in the stopped time. This place is under my barrier, so time and space spells would activate but never take effect.^ Gojo's two glowing blue eyes glared?down?at the ground, keeping the two under his gaze.
Each fist exchanged between?the two?exploded in a shockwave as they lunged from one corner to another, shattering the ground with each impact.
Sebas's martial skills soared beyond what Gojo and the silver dragon expected. He had spent?the better part?of his life facing dragons, sometimes facing multiple enraged parents at once to allow the young hunters to escape with their prey.
The silver dragon gasped as hecould seeArad's power in Sebas's glare.
Sebas swung his fist down, hitting the dragon on the nose, caving his skullinwith a powerful burst as he drilled his head back to the ground.
The ground shattered as the dragon's head got buriedin itbeneath Sebas's fistandGojo giggled.
^His main power and strength was time manipulation. Cutting that was enough to beathim.^ He jumped down, landing beside Sebas and the twitching silver dragon.
"Your power depends on the dragon you eat. No wonder Mother wanted you dead. I never thought I lived to see a monkey punch a dragon down like that," Gojo looked at Sebas. "You're dangerous,"
"You want to kill me like your mother now?" Sebas replied. "I won't blame you, ourand your race are constantly struggling between prey and predator."
"I don't hold racial grudges, Ihold personal ones. You showed to protect brother's wives, and I respect that." Gojo smiled, "Good job, monkey."
"Shut up, lizard."
Gojo burst laughing, "I mean, you're right. We're only buff lizards that have wings and breath elemental energy, and your kind are only large monkeys that eat us and punch with our power." He lifted his handandthe silver dragon's body got covered in a dark haze.
"I'll take care of this one, youcan return."
Sebas shifted back into his humanoid form. "Thanks for your help. I would've lost if this dragon's time magic worked,"
"Don't thank me,it'smy duty tohelpbrother." Gojo tapped Sebas's back, "We're counting on you to protect the forest and his when we're going to school."
The silver dragon's body disappeared into a golden mist, and Gojo gasped. "A clone? A holy double, this bastard tricked us." He glared into the distance, "He never came with his real body at all."
The silver dragon'srealbody rested far away in his lair, watching the fightwith intrigue. "An all-powerful void dragon and vicious ape.Thisis troublesome."
Weeks and days flew by without a second attack or anythingmajorhappening. Each dayAradwoke up and helped Mira with moving resources to work on theconstruction of the castleuntil the promised day.
Arad stood between the students, towering over them as he carried Aisha in one hand with a passive face.
"Everyone! I welcome you to the University of the Arts!" A teacher shouted into a voice amplification stone.
