Master Of None

Chapter 1357 1357. Hard Heads

"Human. You have some skill I will admit that. But do not dare to think you can outdo my warriors just because you arrived with some eye catching battles." Ignus was looking down in full dragon form at Barry.

"With all due respect, I am not here to impress you. This sort of thing is simple training. Not that it is challenging. I would fare better against that little champion of yours." Barry didn't even let up against Ignus's high and mighty attitude. As far as he was concerned, there was no need for pleasantries on a battle field.

"This is why I did not want to take you from the water or the earth bastards! I knew the human sent would be foolish." Ignus breathed a row of flames around him in annoyance. But Barry was still standing right where he had been. Not even a single hair was singed.

"The earth dragon fellow was focused on his task., yes, stubborn. But focused and could care less who I was. Just that the job was done. The water dragon gentleman, worth respect. He was very adaptable. Wish I could train a bit more around him. I could learn a thing or two. You? You are a lot like me when I go all out. I hate that." Barry flexed slightly causing his joints to creak under the stress of his own muscles.

"Me! Like a human! Do you know how many years I have witnessed on this mountain? You are nothing like me." The cries of the dragonkin echoed around them as they found another rogue dragon holed up in a small volcanic cave. The battle had started while Ignus and Barry had bickered. The pair were all talk and seemingly no action in this situation.

"Ha! Another fight." Barry was dashing away in a moment. He hefted one of his axes and extended the handle. One of his new favorite weapons had recently been forged.

The large dual blade axes were rare for people to use unless it was someone specially focused on cutting forests. But for Barry, they were brutal weapons. Having them forged with additional weight usually made them have very solid designs to handle that weight. But with the dwarves in Genesis, Barry had managed to get strong, heavy, and changeable axes.

The handles could extend to give him wider reach to be used as a double handed ax. That way he could train in another style of battle. The very idea had made him shake with excitement. It had been years since he was able to properly adapt and change his style of fighting. It could push him to a new level of strength.

As much as the dragonkin warriors mirrored Ignus in fiery battle intentions, they were more level headed. As Barry roared with glee toward the rogue dragon covered in ash, they moved away. The very first time that Barry had arrived on their hunt to find rogue dragons, he had accidentally destroyed five dragonkin warriors' armors, knocked seven unconscious, and defeated three rogue dragons in a row. The berserker rage that Barry had been under gained him major respect.

"This stupid human. Why would we bother with them since they have small ideas to put races together." Ignus just groaned and mumbled while watching the fight. He didn't like that the world would change without him being around to do it. It was an insult to his being. Yet, he could not admit that he was not impressed a little bit.

Every swing that Barry let loose was enough to cause the rogue dragon major damage. On top of all of this, Barry was tough like a dragonkin. He had no armor, nothing to protect him from the heat, and nothing to save himself from the ragged claws of the rogue dragons. However, he somehow managed to walk away unhurt. Barely ever even dirty. Even as his clothing seemed to char, Barry's body resisted the environment itself.

,m "That's another one down!" Barry laughed as he watched the large rogue dragon collapse. The flame attacks that the dragonkin warriors used were much less effective since the rogue dragons had once lived in the fire dragon villages. They lost their minds but they had the blood of fire dragons. They would be able to live in the volcanoes as well.

Smaller roars burst out from nearby. These roars did not give Barry the desire to attack in the least. "Lord! We found something!" The dragonkin that shouted attracted the interest of Ignus. When he landed he saw two smaller hatchlings. Two that had been forced out just less than a year ago from the village.

"What do you intend to do? Hm? They aren't attacking mindlessly like the other failures of the dragon race. Are those ones going to get to live? Or will they die?" There was another kind of brutality in Barry's words. They said too many things for words to explain. Yet, Ignus knew that he would need to battle this human to the death if the answer was wrong.

"That natural mana kid said he would raise a hatchling to be even better than we could imagine. Let's put that to the test. I will watch him fail with two brats that weren't even strong enough to properly resist the what here." Ignus saw the slightly tinged scales on the hatchlings. They were weak and did not belong in his villages.

"If that's the choice you made then it was the right one. They belong in Genesis where they can become truly powerful. They might even surpass you." Barry spoke softly. It was these words that seemed to hit Ignus harder than any of the others the human had spoken yet. There was just something about the way that Barry changed demeanor when he spoke things with true meaning.
