Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Ace was still fighting against Dezmavas in the sky.
Unlike usual, he did not have the upper hand in the fight. Of course, he was not at a disadvantage too.
It could be said they fought on an equal footing because both of them were still fine.
Every time Dezmavas hit Ace, he got hit by Ace shortly after that.
That was what happened since they started fighting a few minutes ago, and until now, it had not changed.
'He has tough and thick skin.'
Ace had slashed and stabbed Dezmavas' body a few times, but Dezmavas only had a minor injury.
Not even a drop of blood came out of his wound because his skin was so hard and thick.
'But I can't give up.'
Everyone would get killed, and his city would get destroyed if he lost the fight, so Ace tried his best to defeat Dezmavas.
'I will keep attacking on the same place.'
With that idea in mind, he attacked Dezmavas again.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Their fight was so fierce.
The impact of their fight even destroyed walls and several houses because they fought above Nightshire City.
Actually, Ace tried to lure Dezmavas out of the city, but Dezmavas was not fooled and remained in the city.
This was the reason why they fought above the city because Dezmavas refused to leave the city.
"I did not expect a lowly human to last long against me." Dezmavas previously thought he could kill Ace easily, but now he knew he was wrong.
Of course, he believed he would win the fight because, from his point of view, it was impossible for a human to defeat him, a powerful beast from the mighty dragon race.
Ace ignored Dezmavas and raised his left hand high.
'Great Lightning Dragon.'
He used his strongest magic to attack Dezmavas.
When Dezmavas saw a giant lightning dragon, he roared angrily. "How dare you use dragon skill in front of a real dragon!"
Dezmavas opened his mouth and created a giant ball of fire.
"Destroy!" he shot the giant fireball at the lighting dragon.
Boom!
The impact of their clashing attacks was so intense, causing shockwaves to spread throughout the entire battlefield.
"Aggghhh…" some of Scarlett's people and magical beasts were thrown into mid-air when the shockwaves brushed against their bodies.
Not only that, but several houses and the walls were razed to the ground too.
Everyone instantly stopped fighting when the shockwaves brushed against their bodies.
Valeria lifted her head to look at her lover. "Ace…"
From the shockwaves alone, she knew how intense their fight was. She was far from them, yet the shockwaves still reached her.
'Ace, sorry for not being able to help you.'
She held her daggers firmer.
Like Valeria, Scarlett also felt sad for not being able to help him.
'May the goddess of war help you, Ace.'
She could only pray to the Goddess of War because she was too weak to help him.
"Leader…"
One by one, Ace's underlings looked at him.
"Don't worry. Our leader will kill that black Dragon." Neia, a cute elf, spoke abruptly. "Our leader is the chosen one, so there is no way he will lose against that dragon."
"That's right." Renea added. "That Dragon is only a stepping stone for our leader. He will win the fight for sure."
"Yes." Aniya uttered, "Leader said we would stand at the top of hierarchy, so he would kill that ugly dragon for sure."
"That's right."
"Un, un."
"I believe in our leader."
"Me too."
Ace's underlings were sure that he would defeat Dezmavas because their leader was a special human, someone who was destined to stand at the top of the hierarchy.
Lexie, who was holding her staff and looking at him, mused. "Ace, you must not die. Otherwise, Alena will be sad and…so do I."
"What?! He is still standing?" Henry was unhappy when he knew that Ace was still alive.
'What the fuck is that beast doing? Why didn't he kill Ace quickly?'
In his view, Dezmavas was playing around.
Otherwise, the fight would have ended a few minutes ago because Dezmavas was a powerful magical beast.
"Human, I will fight you seriously now." after saying that, Dezmavas attacked Ace again.
He tried to rip Ace's body with his claws.
He tried to burn Ace alive with his fire breath.
And he tried to stab Ace's heart with his sharp tail.
However, Ace could block or avoid all his attacks.
Of course, he could do the same when Ace attacked him.
But it still made him unhappy because this was different from what he previously thought.
'Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! DAMN IT!'
Dezmavas began to lose control of himself.
Five hours!
They had been fighting for five hours straight, but Ace was still standing.
It was the first time a human could last long against him.
The strongest opponent he had ever faced could only last an hour against him.
However, that person was from the Phoenix race.
Phoenix race was a powerful race because they stood at the top of the hierarchy with his race, so he could accept it.
But here, a mere human could still stand up after fighting him for five hours straight.
This was absurd!
This was annoying!
Sure, Henry said Ace was a special awakener, but he should not be this strong.
Ace was from a lowly human race, so he should not be able to fight him equally for a long time.
After all, the human race was far under the dragon race in terms of hierarchy.
Human stamina was much weaker than Dragon's.
Human body was much weaker than Dragon's.
So, why?
Why was he still unable to defeat Ace?
Why was Ace still able to fight him?
Something like this should not have happened.
Ace was supposed to be trampled under his foot.
So WHY?
As Dezmavas was gritting his teeth, the sound of citizens crying in pain reverberated in the entire area.
Ace immediately swept his gaze around.
'….'
All his fingers dug into his palm, and his eyes were filled with coldness when he saw the citizens dying one by one.
Dezmavas also looked at his surroundings because he wanted to know what was going on.
'This is…'
His angry face instantly turned into a smile.
He was happy.
He was thrilled when he saw his subordinates had the upper hand in the war and killed the citizens one by one.
"Hahaha." Dezmavas burst into waves of laughter.
Even though he still could not defeat Ace, but he would win the war if his underlings killed all the citizens because war was not about one person but many people.
'Haha. Good! Good! Good!'
Due to how happy he was, he said good three times in his head.
"Aagghhh…"
"Aagghhh…"
"Aagghhh…"
One by one, the citizens were killed by magical beasts.
"Don't worry because your fate will be the same as theirs." After saying that, Dezmavas attacked Ace again.
'I'm sure he can't focus on the fight now.'
He knew Ace really cared about the safety of the citizens.
'This is a good opportunity to kill him.'
He believed he could kill Ace now because Ace could not focus on fighting completely.
'Die, lowly human!'
