Chapter 123: Wet dog vs Smoll man
A Few miles ahead, a blazing trail was left behind as Emperal skidded through the plain with monstrous precision.
But his expression...it was ugly.
"What the hell is that creature, Infernal Dragon?"
He couldn’t help but ask. Earlier, he had gone to Thyra to discuss some important matters, including the core region.
"Damn that creature, it created trouble from the moment it was born! And weren’t newborns supposed to be small and cute?"
He spoke out loud, voicing his frustration.
Unbeknownst to him, a grey, black, furry animal shot across the plain with insane speed. It was low to the ground, and its claws tore through dirt and stone.
The honey-badger’s eyes shone as they reflected the figure of Emperal ahead.
"FOUND YOU~!"
Emperal, who was running ahead, cringed the moment he heard those words.
"What the heck, that thing...it can run so fast?"
Emperal muttered as he pushed Sol’verthrak harder and harder, the scorching trail turned into a monstrous blaze as he pushed forward with even more fuel.
"Infernal Dragon!"
He couldn’t help but cry inwardly. If this thing had survived that earlier attack of Thyra, no way in hell he could do something.
"Well...you could try outrunning a creature that has...apparently decided gravity is optional. I’d love to see how that goes"
Emperal’s face twisted in an ugly grimace when he heard those words.
Even when he had increased his speed, the badger managed to somehow keep up with its pace. It wasn’t matching Emperal’s speed exactly.
The badger was a wild animal; it cut corners, anticipated his trajectory, and took some really nasty shortcuts.
"Now this is fucking unreasonable!"
And after a few minutes, the inevitable happened. His Verth ran out, making his breath hitch sharply.
He could have used the Soul Energy, but seeing how that creature was still following without even the slightest sign of exhaustion. He dropped that idea; it was better to save it for an emergency.
And he hit the brake.
"Smoll man, what’s the matter? Tired already? I could jog for a million miles more. How pathetic can you be?"
Emperal’s brows twitched when he heard those words, but unlike Thyra. He was a mature and patient man.
He absolu—
"Just bow down to the Elegant Sovereign"
Emperal’s fuse detonated, several veins popped on his forehead as he glared at the animal.
"You wet dog, what do you need from me?" freewebnovel.cσ๓
"You bastard! Who are you calling a wet dog!? Your mother is a wet dog! Your father is a wet dog! Your entire generation is a bunch of wet dogs!"
"That’s enough, you wet dog, you have seriously pissed me off"
Emperal spoke, his voice changed. This time...he was truly angry. Stretching his hand, he drew the Evilmoon. Its black edge shone brilliantly as he pointed it towards the honey-badger.
"If I didn’t teach you a lesson today, I’ll write my name backwards!"
A dark crimson sheen shone on the blade’s edge in the next second. It slowly entered Emperal’s body. Making his eyes shine in malevolence.
His smirk widened into a wide grin, "I wonder what a beast like you will taste"
"It will certainly have a better taste than your mother"
The badger snorted as its claws extended, hearing its taunt, Emperal didn’t lose his cool this time. Instead, his grin widened.
WHOOOOSH~!!!!
Taking a step forward, he vanished, and the badger blinked in the next second. Emperal’s blade was already beside its neck.
KHCCHK!!!
SLASH~!
Emperal waited for the warmth, the splash of warm blood. But it never came. Instead, the blade struck the badger’s skin and...like a rubbery cannon, it threw its body a mile away.
"Hmm?"
Emperal raised his brows in surprise when he saw this, this attack. Its lethality was enough to injure the Verth Seekers.
But Emperal didn’t wait for it to get up, he dashed forward. His blade descended for a second slash. It was faster and darker; the Evilmoon’s edge shone slightly, mirroring Emperal’s irritation. And the same happened once again, the badger didn’t dodge and shamelessly stood there...unharmed. This time, to further provoke Emperal, it even turned around and flashed its butt to the incoming blade. fгeewebnovёl.com
BAAMMM!!
The blade’s edge struck its butt...hard. It sent it flying several miles before the badger rubbed its butt slightly.
"What the fuck ARE YOU!?" Emperal snarled, once again dashing towards the creature. His blade moved behind.
Fisting his hands, he muttered. "Kraeth’sol"
Intense heat burst from his palm as he punched it directly on its head.
BOOM~!!!!!
A massive explosion echoed, and this time...to the immense happiness of Emperal. He heard a cry.
"Ow Ow! What is the fire! It burned a few strands of my precious fur!"
The ground cracked, and the air shook as Emperal let out a hearty laugh.
"Hahahaha~! Finally, I have found a weakness of yours, you wet dog!"
The badger went still, its ears flattened against its impenetrable skin. It glared at Emperal and let out a hiss.
"You...you burned the Elegant Sovereign’s fur! Do you have any fucking idea how long it takes to grow back"
It hissed at Emperal, touching its head repeatedly. Hearing its words, Emperal’s face turned genuinely confused for a second.
He slowly looked down on the ground searching for...
"What are you looking for?" The badger asked in a confused yet rageful tone.
"To see the fuck which I dropped"
Emperal smirked, making the badger’s eyes redden slightly.
"Oh, wait? It’s nowhere to be found! Hahaha~!!!"
Emperal laughed out loud.
"THAT’S IT, YOU ARE DEAD SMOLL MAN!"
It lunged towards Emperal, faster. Its claw stretched outward as it shone sharply. Seeing this, Emperal’s smile widened.
To the incoming attack, he simply side-stepped and once again punched down.
"Owch!!"
The badger turned around and clawed at Emperal’s hand with a nasty hiss. A deep gash was formed the moment it touched Emperal.
"You have got some sharp claws for a wet dog"
Emperal sneered as he punched once again, this time the blow fell on its back!
BOOM!!
The two continued to punch and scratch for hours straight; both were stubborn and relentless to the core.
The couple of hours turned into a dozen as the two continued their fight. Finally, after a whole day worth of fighting, the beast and man...finally fell on the ground, desperate for air.
