The sight of the huge black spear was reflected on the sand dragon's eyes. The black spear continued to grow bigger until it left a large streak on the sky.
The moment the black spear was a few meters away from the huge dragon, A golden barrier manifested around the sand dragon, it glowed in a dazzling light giving a sturdy feeling.
With no hesitation, Zick collided with the barrier.
Booom!!!
A huge shockwave traveled to the whole desert, changing many of the plain's terrain.
The black higher form of energy continued to swirl around Zick, further strengthening his collision force.
However, the barrier around the sand dragon did not break. Still, Zick was able to accomplish his aim, stopping its charge.
If possible, Zick did not want to damage any of his assets unnecessarily.
Suddenly, the sand dragon started moving downwards, moving to the ground on its volition.
Zick did not pursue and stopped his attack. He landed on the sand in some distance away.
"Human, daring to challenge me within my own domain, you must have a death wish." There was concealed anger on the sand dragon's eyes.
The mana in the surrounding area also reacted to its emotions, trembling intensely.
"Your domain?" Zick smiled mockingly, as the black robe fluttered around.
At that moment, his red pupil turned golden, giving an ominous feeling to the sand dragon. This was the first time it had experienced such a wicked presence.
Second demonic pupil art — Dark reality!
Black substance started spreading from below Zick's feet. This time it was being strengthened by his peak higher form of energy, thus it appeared even darker, like the space.
At the same time, The sand dragon used one of its trump cards. Its origin ability.
The apprehension in its heart caused the sand dragon to use it reflexively.
A golden shockwave left its body, spreading to the surrounding, the sand on the ground turned gold coming under his control. The golden sand turned into a domain, contenting with the black substance.
Without further ado, the sand dragon leaped forward, it knew its advantages. Dragon's had very strong physiques compared to other beings. Right now, The sand dragon was trying to make use of it.
Zick did not stay idle and dashed forward too.
Instantly, both the black domain and golden domain clashed and became into one, coiling around each other — fighting for dominance.
The sight of the semi circle made of these two energy, gave an oppressive feeling. It covered more than a kilometer of area.
For now, the golden energy had the upper hand, suppressing the black matter.
With its head facing forward, the sand dragon used another origin ability, causing its body to gleam and its scales to appear sharper.
It was planning on finishing this fight in just one move!
Black substance began covering Zick's body and his higher form of energy flared out even further. Black scales appeared all around his body and two horns protruded from his head.
His fist came in contact with the sand dragon, right in the middle of its two horns.
BANG!!
Ripple appeared on the collision of two forces as Zick and the sand dragon collided. Suddenly, the black substance was erased by the golden energy. A huge explosion right from the middle of their collision occurred at that instant.
The sand moved like a tsunami, being pushed by this explosion. All the living beings, excluding the dark elves were killed at that moment just from the after shock.
Luckily, the fortress which had moved high up in the sky was not affected by this.
After a few seconds, the dust was pushed away by a wind current. Exposing The deep crater, it covered around 90 kilometers of area.
"....For you to still be alive, you, just how many of my brethren did you eat?" The sand dragon's furious voice traveled into the air.
A few hundred metres from it, Zick's deformed body fallen on the sand. Half of his body was blown away and the other half also not in a functionable condition with many bones and muscles raptures.
Fortunately, Zick's head was still intact.
'....Twenty percent of my higher form of energy was blown away....' Zick was not agitated in the slightest.
His body was already thousands of times stronger compared to any grandmaster, it was because he ate many dragons.
Coming in contact with an attack very near to demi-human level, even Zick's body could not take it.
'So an ancient dragon are being who is just a few steps away from demi-human rank....'
Zick's body slowly got up and stood in a single leg. In these few seconds, The remnant energy of that attack was erased by him.
A red glow erupted from his body, healing all the wounds rapidly. It was such a magical sight that even the sand dragon was frozen in place.
A human dies one way or another, by ripped heart, blood loss or destroyed brain. But Zick was breaking all this common sense right at the moment.
In just a few seconds, half of his body grew back and he appeared good as new! Albeit naked.
"....Just what are you? It's not possible for you to be a human." The sand dragon, who had experienced many things in its life, was surprised again and again by Zick's means.
Zick carelessly answered: "Who knows. Let's continue our fight....then." his voice slowly turned to that of growling.
Black scales grew around his body again rapidly, but this time they continued growing larger. The crackling sound of bones rang out in the air, Zick bent forward.
His face and body started growing larger and transformed. A tail extended from his tail bone, growing in size along with him.
ROAR!
In no time, Zick grew into a large black dragon with heterogeneous eyes of red and black.
"Impossible! How can such a thing be possible..." The golden dragon appeared agitated at last.
A dragon hunter can only turn into a dragon only when he eats a dragon heart. However that was impossible, as no dragon was stupid enough to leave behind their heart. And strictly speaking, it was just a speculation as no one was able to do it, until now that is.
After eating a couple of dragons, Zick's potential increased to an unknown level, he was not even able to sense his limit anymore. If given enough time, he would be able to become a god for sure. His heart also recovered along the way.
Zick's huge dragon face turned to the sand dragon: "What? Were you thinking you could kill me that easily? Not using even a single soul ability?" he tried provocation.
To a grandmaster, their soul skill was usually their strongest means. Only some ability like the Origin force of the dragon's could match its power.
Slowly, darkness left Zick's huge body. They moved around him mysteriously, a chaotic presence was leaked by it. This was his origin ability.
Origin force, in simple words, were like magic spells. But it was conjured using one higher form of energy, a normal human would never be able to do because of their weak body.
The spell conjured by a higher form of energy depended on its characteristic. Only origin ability compatible to their individual higher form energy can be created.
Then, what kind of characteristic did Zick's higher form energy have? Chaos, in other words it excelled in destruction. Because of nature's characteristics, it became something like natural destruction.
"Shut up! Don't get cocky with just that!" Along with the sand dragon's angry voice, the golden sand domain, converted to spikes and moved towards Zick.
Instantly, many black spikes appeared around Zick, they gave a solid lustre. Immediately, these two attacks collided creating many explosions.
After the explosion, both Zick and the sand dragon's body vanished, colliding in mid air. The air current created by it was enough to kill a normal grandmaster.
Both of them kept clashing for a while in the air, using their tail, claws, wings and even horns to attack each other.
In the end, the result was a stalemate. Both of them moved away from each other not being able to grasp the upper hand
'I really wanted to try this for a while....' Zick eyes shone in expectation.
What would happen when he recreated a nuclear magic or something similar from a Higher form of energy?
It was really an interesting matter, and it was very compatible with Zick's chaotic higher form of energy too.
A black orb slowly formed before Zick, it slowly condensed more and more, wafting its overwhelming presence around the area. He activated dark reality arts too, but this time all of the black substance flowed into the black sphere — further strengthening it.
The sand dragon did not stay idle, its chest slowly started glowing in a golden light. It was preparing to use breath attack, the strongest racial skill of a dragon.
Both of their bodies floating in the air gave out a terrifying aura, enough to kill master rank just from sensing it.
The fortress high above the sky vanished with a flash, it was moved away from the whole desert region. Yuriel followed Zick's order of keeping it safe.
"Die!" The sand dragon breathed out a ray of gold light.
Zick shot the black orb, which grew to the size of his huge fist forward too.
These two attacks came in contact with each other right in the middle.
BOOOOM!!!!!
An explosion in black and golden like never before spread to the surround. At that moment, the desert region was fully destroyed. Even the dark elves, leaving some behind, all died in it.
The desert region covered around half of the middle continent and right now, it was fully erased from the face of the world.
However, the fight between the two beings who caused it was yet to be decided.
