Chapter 481-490

Chapter 481
Karronteel, despite his enthusiasm, was unable to win so easily against his opponent. The six level difference didn’t help.

The two dragons exchanged breath attacks constantly as they were at a draw each time. Speed was Karronteel’s greatest advantage, letting him land a few attacks with his sharp claws. But he had also felt the force of one of the Flood Dragon’s steam explosions to even the score. Both of them were panting and waiting to see what came next in their fight.

While that was taking place, Karronteel couldn’t help but notice the other battle ending and Hadurt taking on four more opponents at once. Also, he spotted the rest of the party staying the army before they were about to get overwhelmed by the sheer amount of incoming soldiers, as the Reinolt army was still moments away as well.

Everything was playing out as if Karronteel was needed for more than just to fight the dragon in front of him. He, along with the rest of the party, understood that their hope of victory was through quality of combatants and not quantity. That meant that the longer Karronteel took to face the Flood Dragon, the more likely they were to lose.

Keeping that in mind, Karronteel continued to assault the slower dragon. But he decided to try fighting smarter and not harder, unlike most dragons.

As Karronteel charged the Flood Dragon it prepared another steam explosion. The attacks were about to collide when a spatial rift opened up between them. It consumed the steam explosion entirely, leaving Karronteel untouched while the Flood Dragon cried in pain. The other end of the spatial rift opened beneath the Flood Dragon’s belly, unleashing it’s own attack on the beast’s underside.

With the Flood Dragon getting blown into the air briefly, Karronteel wasted no time and struck while he could. His claws tore in the Flood Dragon’s throat, pooling blood on the ground below.
