Rock Village

In the north of Larra Forest there’s a village named Rock Village. It is the closest village from Larra. It is known to be the Ogre’s Village in the West. Almost all villagers here are ogre. This village is like a town, it’s the biggest village in the Adelleine Kingdom. It is called rock village because of its founder, the Rock Ogre.

In this village you can see many sizable statues; monsters and different races. In this village the statues are made from the boulders created in a volcanic explosion, you can say that the statues have high value. Some statues can even affect ones status just by looking at it. These statues are known as rare statues in the world. No one can tell where it came from.

In the market you can see bodies of dead earth monsters and some are dead golems and gargoyles being sell. These are high level monsters that is said to have King level as its’ weakest, they are almost on the same level as dragon and phoenix. Golems are known to have earth property and gargoyles are known to use petrification effects.

That’s why ogres like them. Their flesh are eaten and one of the favorites of the ogres because it boost their strength and sturdiness. Other parts of their body are used in making armor; it is classified as mythical materials.

Ogres, titans and giants are race with the biggest body build. Their height ranged to 10ft. to 16ft. tall. Unlike other sizable race, ogres hunt in packs they are the race which focused on team coordination. Their strength is comparable to a golem. Their unity is solid like wolves. This is the reason why they can easily kill mythical and legendary monsters.

In this village there are many caves, some are used for excavation purposes and some are used in mining gold bars, gems stones and ores. Most of the miners here are dwarves, elves and humans.

Many people travel here because of the rare stones, gems and high quality ores that was being sell in this village.

This is Ogre Village in the West. We all know that an ogre is one of the races that love to fight or known as battle maniac. They are bloodthirsty creatures. That’s why villagers create an arena for duels. The arena is like a small village in size, it is built from molten rocks. Even an ordinary god can have a hard time scratching this place.

Hanshen’s POV

Rock Arena

I’ve bought all the things I need for a year. I even made lots of money too by selling artifacts that I made. Unlike in any other village it is easy to sell items here. Maybe I should visit this village more often now.

I’ve been watching duels three days straight now. I am amazed by the duels here. I have seen many people with different race fight. As I watched I’ve learned many things; timing, rhythm and proper execution of skill and techniques. I’ve learned also the importance of control.  This is the last day that I’ll watch a duel because tomorrow I’ll return in Larra Forest.

Today there will be only one duel; this will be the battle between a challenger and the champion in this arena.

______________________________________________________________________________________________

I was surprised when I see the challenger; he was one of the dragonican races. It’s my first time seeing one. The dragonicans are said to have a dragon power. They can use dragon transformation skill, only dragonican can use.

He looks ferocious. He’s wearing artifacts that certainly stand out. He was wearing a diamond crown with rare gems, a plate armor that is made of dragon’s tooth, a boots made of phoenix feather and fur of the six tailed fox, a gloves and a celestial ring even I can’t identify. His overall equipment is high standards, some of it is hard to identify, I can’t tell what materials are used to make it.

He looks like a human; height ranged to 6ft. above, with black scales in his arm and shoulder, his ear is like of an elf and with a small and thin tail covered with scales. He’s fierce with a hair like is on fire, a burning red.

A supreme being, I thought.

What shocked me the most is the champion? He was a human? In this world; we, humans are the weakest race. I knew only few human gods are respected and honored. But to see one here, I was shocked. Excitement and happiness, this is what I’m feeling right now. I never thought that I would see a human as great as him here. But I wondered and puzzled me what will he try to do? His opponent is comparable to a great one and belongs to one of the strongest races.

He doesn’t look strong and intimidating. He has long brown curly hairs. His eyes are brown with a firm body build. He wear a dark set of artifacts.

As the gong rang the battle began.

______________________________________________________________________________________________

In a flash the dragonican initiate a barrage of sword attack.

“Star destroyer!” The dragonican used.

“Iron body!” The human used at the same time as the dragonican attack.

As the dragonican attack with sword skills the human defend with iron body.

“Clang! Clang! Tang! Clang!” The sounds of their clashes reverberate.

The human can’t do but defend while he was being attack, he’s being pushed back.

The dragonican was too fast and the human is slow. He was receiving hits in a fast rate.

“Roar!” The human used a lion’s roar to stun his enemy.

But the dragonican isn’t affected at all.

“Sword of starlight!” The dragonican continued.

“Ahg!” The human received great damaged.

Even his iron body can’t withstand the barrage of attack of the dragonican.

“Earth Stamp!” The human used.

He fused earth magic in his feet and with raw strength he stamp the ground.

Earth stamp is a low level skill that is used to nullify an area attack or to defend using earth rock. It shakes the ground and creates a wave of rocks around the user in all direction it is very hard to dodge if you’re near the user.

Because of the strength of the human his skill effect is devastating, affecting 300meter radius. The dragonican was hit and stunned for a second but he endured.

“It’s time to get serious.” The human said.

“What a guy!”  The dragonican was amused.

“God strength!” The human used strength amplification. It also increases sturdiness and vitality of the human.

“God speed!” The dragonican used at the same time as human used his skill.

Then the human changed his weapon from swords to knuckle.

Without any warning the dragonican cast a magic spell.

“Meteor Shower!”

The human walk towards the dragonican even his aura can damage anyone that is grazed by it. While being hit with meteors he just keeps walking steadily.

The dragonican, unlike his tactics earlier gained some distance and continue to cast ranged magic spell.

“Star Strikes!” Barrages of range fire magic spell hitting the indestructible human.

Seeing that the human is enduring these many attacks the dragonican used dragon force to its limit and…

“GRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRR!” The dragonican used dragons roar to its limit.

“Ugh!” The force of the dragon roar make the human kneel and was stunned for a moment.

The dragonican didn’t give him time to recover. He used ancient dragon transformation skill and used a powerful skill.

“DRAGON’S BREATH! GROOAARR!”

“BOOOOOM!”  Powerful explosion occurred in the arena.

The dragonican turned into a dragon.

He didn’t stop. He deactivates his skill and returned in his original appearance. He used dash technique.

“Blink!”

“Dragon’s Imperial Slash! Dragon’s Sword Bite! Dragon’s Sword Dance!”

The dragonican continue attacking the weakening human without mercy.

“Ahraa! Ughh!” The human said in pain.

The dragonican is covered with fire, it’s like he’s burning. With a bluish fire aura covering his body, he charged through his enemy, fearless.

After blinking in front of the human he performed a combination of ancient dragon sword techniques.

With the power of a dragon, he slashed the human with a rotating fire in his sword followed by a double slash sideward then a series of sword slash.

All of his attacks are covered with concentrated power. The duel looks one sided.

While the human was knocked on the floor the dragonican used his final move without wasting his energy. He wants to end the duel.

“GOD OF FIRE EXPLOSION!!!!!!”

Using his fiery sword with concentrated spirit and large amount of fire magic, he enveloped it in his burning aura with dragonican force and stab the human on the ground using all his strength, without mercy.

“BOOOOOOOOOOM!” An explosion of raging fire.
