CHAPTER 84: QUASAR DRAGON

XENON WINGATE

6 MONTHS AGO

My real weapon is a gun. Out of all the vast choices of warfare I can equip myself, a gun is the best thing I can handle. I have been using a pistol myself back when I was a White Ghost, and I went to an extreme gun training during my younger days. On the other hand, out of all the weapons I have used, the shield is the thing I’m most terrible of. Even if I use Forge magic, I always end up creating a shield of subpar quality that breaks in one hit.

Serena is the same as mine, as she always dual-wield short swords. She mainly uses those kinds of weapons in order to show off to her fans while performing her exhibitions, acrobatics, and other magical tricks. Her short swords are not meant for battle but for eye-candy only. Her best weapons of choice are a longsword and a round shield.

I can see the satisfied look on the Pentagram Knight we’ll be fighting in this final round. Jerick may have an idea of how we wield these weapons, but he has never seen it. Moreover, he has never heard our full capabilities if we’re using the weapons we’re most comfortable with.

“Let the battle begin!” The emcee shouted, and the loud buzzer of the arena roared. As the start of the battle commences, I can hear the crowd cheering for the dragon knights, but mainly, they are cheering for Serena.

“Go! Go! Serena! Fight! Fight! Serena!” The Serenatics now brought a parade with trumpets and drums. If I were the emperor, I would eject them immediately from this arena for how annoying they are.

“You can do it, Serena! Win this fight!” Duke Carousel, err, Corasell cheered out loud.

All the fans are cheering Serena, but there is one person who equally distributed her cheer to us. It was Danielle, who’s still in her wheelchair, and she’s on the front seat of the arena. “Win this, Senor Xenon and Mademoiselle Serena! I’ll be counting on you!”

Seeing and hearing Danielle’s full support at us, I nodded with a smile to the scarred dragon knight. I appreciate her effort in watching our last Pentagram Knight Challenge because she’s supposed to be locked in her room. Maybe she snuck out of the hospital just to watch us two.

The Pentagram Knight and his dragonoid made their first move. The dragonoid Colly pumped her fists sidewards, and her mechanical gauntlets unleashed thick steam. On the other hand, the dragon knight Jerick spread out his clawed gauntlets, and those blades attached to his fists became charged with magma-like heat.

“Quasar Clap!” Jerick struck his claws, and a shockwave of white flame echoed in the arena. There is no way to evade it, as it expands in a wide area of effect.

“Xen! Go behind me!” Serena ordered, completely forgetting that I’m his master and she’s the slave. I complied with her command and hid on her back as she put her golden round shield in front.

The flame shockwave was easily repelled by Serena’s shield as if it’s just a gust of wind. It's too weak for a ranged attack, so I knew that it’s just a diversion.

“Haaaaagh!” The dragonoid Colly charged forward with a superman punch, pummeling the round shield on Serena’s front. With such power from her mechanical gauntlets, Serena was pushed back unto the edge of the arena.

“Grrrh!” Serena uttered a soft cry.

While Colly had her attention to Serena, I made my move to jump upward and pointed my two guns at the enemy. With my fast trigger fingers, I sprayed bullets like a machine gun.

“Forge!” I shouted out loud. At that moment, all the bullets in midair were converted into rocketing swords that surged upon the enemy dragonoid.
