Chapter 4 Plot Armour
Swiftly evading the movement of Raiken, he made his way to the nape of its neck.
Roooaaarrr!
Raiken let out a roar, spreading out it's folded wings as it prepared to attack mid-flight.
Missing his footing, he fell to the ground with a thud.
Getting up, he brushed himself, glaring at the monster.
'I created you, so you must concede defeat sooner or later.'
While he had drawn the dragons, he had made it that their weaknesses were in the nape of their neck.
A smile made its way to his lips, never would he have thought that little detail would actually come in handy.
'Thankyou plot armour!' He was eternally grateful for the anime inspiration he had gotten.
Luckily, he had negated the thought of making their scales made of armour. He was glad he didn't have that brush tool to finish the deal. He would have been definitely done for, trying to punch that.
Even though the dragons had scales, they were nothing but a ruse. They were just made of its flesh layered to look like scales.
He was sure no one ever dared try to find the truth about these dragons because they were created several hours ago and would not be able to gather much intel about the situation.
Second, he made these dragons formidable opponents when threatened. They had their own territories and were severely territorial.
Looking at his feet for a while, he wondered why this body he was in happened to be where they could be killed. He had definitely not drawn this character, nor Naz.
He could excuse the fact Aimi looked like a loli, he was to blame for the similarities, his obsession was getting in the way of his art.
His reflexes kickstarted, raising his hand, he absorbed the fire aimed at him by Raiken.
'I was here having a moment and this monster dared disturb my line of thought?!' He looked up at the dragon which was cautiously studying him.
"You seem to forget something." He pointed at the dragon, he couldn't care less if it could understand him or not.
Sensing his pointed finger as a threat, it dived downwards for a swoop.
Kneeling and sliding with the help of the mud, he narrowly escaped the claw aimed at him as the dragon swooped downwards.
Nix closed his eyes. The fight was dragging for far too long.
When he played, he never liked to drag out a fight, which was why he always took the offensive approach. But looking at Raiken in flight, he could see this would be harder than he thought it was, after all this was his first time fighting a dragon with little experience.
He was sure with taking down this dragon, he would he able to gain more experience.
Roooaaarrr!
Nix hissed, the sound was getting on his nerves. If this monster wanted to fight with him, why go through the trouble of flying?
"You seem to forget... oh I apologize." He pinched the bridge of his nose. Internally facepalming at his slip.
He was not talking to a person, but a dragon! A mere dragon! So how could it possibly remember anything? He was even doubtful if this character had ever come in contact with a dragon before.
But he wanted so badly to sound cool while talking to it, it needed to know what he wanted to say that he considered was his trump card.
"Get yourself together, Nix." He mumbled to himself, inhaling and exhaling.
"Get your head together, Nix! Watch out!" Naz yelled as the dragon's mouth brimmed with something else other than fire.
'Oh! There he is.' Nix waved in the direction of his brother. He was starting to worry if his brother had been able to find Aimi, but now he was sure she was safe.
'He even thinks like me.' He let out a chuckle, rubbing his chin.
Tilting his head, he realized there was something other than thinking like him that spewed from his mouth.
Naz was getting anxious, was he wrong to have misjudged his brother? It did seem he was still as goofy as before. He wondered how anyone could be calm in such a dangerous situation, let alone be deep in thoughts.
He needed to help. With his hand movements he decided to conjure up a larger amount of water instead. Focusing his attention on the dragon, he aimed at it with full force.
"Don't you dare touch my brother!" He yelled.
Raiken was about to finally release all the energy he had gathered in his mouth, but then a wave of highly pressured water hit it, pushing him momentarily off balance.
The sprinkle of water and some dropping onto Nix brought him back to reality. He had totally forgotten he had a monster hovering above him.
Clapping his hand he finally realized what he had missed, "you said watch out, didn't you?!" He laughed, wiping the water that trailed from his head to his face.
'Is he crazy? Why would he be laughing now?!' Naz facepalmed at his situation.
Before he had realized, Raiken had made a new target. It increased its speed to fly in his direction.
Whoosh!
If it couldn't have a lasting harm on its previous target, it would prey on the one which had spoiled one of its powerful attacks. That was unforgivable.
Nix watched as the dragon made it's daring move towards his brother.
"Shit!" He cursed.
[Agility activated. Your movements have been increased by 43%]
Nix couldn't let the monster slip out of his grasp, he didn't want to kill it, the mission was to tame it.
The killing intent he sensed earlier had vanished. If his thoughts were correct, it was aimed at his brother now.
'You can't go anywhere!'
[Agility activated. Your movements have been increased by 45%]
Even with his speed, he still couldn't catch up if it continued like this.
[Gift: Fire whip in effect]
Creating a long leash of fire, he grabbed hold of it like a rope, throwing it around Raiken just in time before it got too close to his brother.
[Strength activated. Your attacks have been increased by 33%]
He dug his heel into the floor, but the mud was proving a hindrance to his action.
'I can't keep this up!' He struggled to both maintain his gift's form, utilize his strength and balance.
"A little help would be nice, brother!" He yelled.
