Chronicles of the Star-King

Chapter 7: Showdown of Stars and Storms

BOOM.

Unknown to anyone in the Central World, within a separate, Unique Space created by the Star-King himself, clashed two titanic Dragons. The bulkier one, clad in dark scales, fought his opponent with ferocity unreal, who remained clad in bright cyan scales that stressed his ashen eyes.

The space shook, the world trembled, and actuality itself seemingly warped as the two titans clashed with each other. Roar after roar, their voices boomed shaking up everything around them.

"Are you still not going to get serious?"

The bulkier behemoth, 'The Storm Dragon; Veldora', bellowed.

"I could say the same here, Veldora"

His opponent, 'The Star-King Dragon; Veldanava', expressed with his tranquil voice.

The barren land, which was filled with nothing but punitive dust ruptured, as the Storm Dragon's Aura shredded the surface, not to mention the Storms that it caused. The winds, becoming a full-blown hurricane, lightning vaporizing the earth, devastated the land, as Veldora's Aura was once again unleashed after years.

Veldanava, however, unaffected by it, stood on guard, his Aura still not leaving his flesh.

Veldanava soared toward his opponent, getting behind him at inconceivable speed. Veldora however remained unscathed as he dodged the Veldanava's claw with his 『Risk Prediction』.

Taking advantage of the lower mobility of their dragon forms, Veldora hastily transformed into his human form, charging up an enormous amount of Aura into his fists.

Veldora stretched back his arm, and gave a tremendously powerful punch, 『Draconic Burst』. The force emanating from it decimated everything in his way.

"So we are fighting like that huh?!"

!!!

Veldora, startled looked behind him, only to find Veldanava, in his original human form, looking at him with narrowed eyes and a grin. Even with 『Risk Prediction』, he could not avoid the incoming strike, as Veldanava's fist threw him flying in an instant.

Turning into this draconic form, Veldora charged a massive amount of magicules in his mouth and fired it towards Veldanava with speed just short of that of light itself.

Veldanava, being far away, dodged it with ease.

"Hmm. The speed of the attack was impressive, but it won't be too effective if its trajectory can be predicted"

Veldanava spelled out, not as a taunt, but as a suggestion for Veldora to improve. Saying this, he too turned to his draconic form, and gathered an amount of magicules that was almost half of Veldora's own capacity.

Usually, this would be a bad move, for a single mistake would cost them too many magicules. However, Veldanava wasn't a typical entity, being inimitable even among the True Dragons. Veldora possessed Energy higher than both his sisters. However, even so, it was not even half of Veldanava's own.

Veldora's 'Risk Prediction' went off, warning him of the danger. He felt a little frustrated at this. He had been using 『Probability Manipulation』 of his Ultimate Skill from the beginning of the fight, however, he wasn't even sure it had any effect.

Veldanava was just playing around with him. He knew that. He himself was not going all out, but he knew that any more would actually work against him, as Veldanava could easily turn his own attacks against him. His only hope was 'Probability Manipulation', which was failing him spectacularly till now.

However, he did not have the time to fret over that now. Veldanava was charging up his attack, and Veldora sure as hell knew it wasn't any good.

Just as the Veldanava fired his beam of energy from his mouth, Veldora was a little confused. That attack seemed to be identical to Veldora's own, just with massively more energy. However, Veldora knew better than to think that. Veldanava was crafty, and this attack was most definitely not going to be a simple replication of his own.
