Master Of None

Chapter 1676 1676. Roaring At The Earth

There was no effort spared as soon as Scylla had become involved. She knew that she was going to see a good battle between the earthen dragonkin and Su. But she also wanted to see what the skill was that they knew and Su did not. That would be a very interesting addition to her battle knowledge for when she directed all the soldiers under her.

Naturally, the change in the top decks set up drew a lot of attention. While a lot of the soldiers remained on looout, there were more than enough to end up coming toward the top deck to watch. Before Su knew what was going on, there were many soldiers that had formed a ring around a large open area for her to battle.

"Here and now, we have a challenge issued in the name of battle knowledge. Su, the hero had challenged the dragonkin of the royal dragon Terron. Thee shall battle their way through intense combat for the chance to learn from the royal dragon himself. If they fail, they will prove that they have mountain to climb before they can look back up at the sky!"

As much as Scylla wanted to just watch, she had fallen right in to her favorite activity. She loved the arenas of the demi-human city. The entire act of battling, announcing, and challenging were ideal to her. They were the best activities for growth. Even watching a battle could bring someone from a full stop to a complete revelation of where they should be in their battle style.

"This has gone too far." Su was incredibly embarrassed being put on the spot. However, she couldn't hold back her blood. She could feel it starting to heat up at the thought of battle. The dragon blood that was affecting her was truly stronger than she gave it credit for. Even though her emotions had not caught up with the situation, there was the fact that her blood was already preparing for a battle feeling the energies around her.

"Sister Su! You can do it!"

"Fight! Win!"

The two cheers surprised Su a lot. She had not expected that Midnight and Onyx would take a break from their own training to watch her. But when she looked, she saw that it was more than just them. Rise was looking down at them with Ventus nearby as well.

The reason that they had come to pay attention to this was simple, they wanted to watch the human draconic guardian improve. While Rise may have been more stiff when it came to the reasons she wanted to see Su improve, Ventus was more relaxed.

Sicenventus had seen so many unique things and even trusted her children to learn around the human heroes, she wanted to see more. It was like a curiosity that couldn't be sated. She wanted to see just what more could happen. How much more the humans with these never before had positions could do? They were so amazing already that they could step in line with dragons, what else could they show her?

"Why am I so in my head? I need that metal scale skill. Or even better, I need a skill above it." Su started to let her greed win a little. She wanted more than just the basic skill that the dragonkin used. She wanted the direct skill that Terron used when he fought. She wanted to be able to have defenses that rivaled a real dragon's defenses. Who cared about having the second best, she wanted to be the best guardian there was.

The sudden slamming of the twin shields made everyone draw focus on to Su. she had finally warmed up for the fight and all the earth dragonkin that could come were facing her. They had not chosen who would be the first to battle, But she was already facing them.

"Come and show me what dragonkin that hide under rocks can do! Can you deal with a real fight? Or will you go back to hide in your caves!?" Su's taunt was enough to rile anyone up, but for the moment, the dragonkin were incredibly incensed by it.

Before they could step forward, Su took a depth breath. Everyone saw it and wondered just what she could be doing. If they thought for a moment., they would remember that S had been growing and changing over time. The dragon blood shared with her through a proper ritual had affected her greatly. It had altered her body and she could even breathe small flames if she wanted.

But these were flames. This was a thing any dragon could do. And any dragonkin could do too if they were strong enough.

The large breath Su took ion was released with a higher pitched roar. The echo never returned since the sound went around the ocean. Every ship heard it along with the clanging of metal as the twin shields slammed back together. Those that were not ready were stunned but the dragonkin were immediately hyper focused. They had been challenged. Slapped in the face and challenge for their territory and pride.

"The roaring guardian calls for your first fighter, earthen dragonkin, send your warrior!" Scylla was nearly shaking, she was too excited. She had never imagined that Su would be standing out so much. She would be putting on such a spectacular showing of her current strength. There was not a doubt in Scylla's mind that she would be seeing Su crush three dragonkin before the night was out.

The first dragonkin warrior took a stand ahead of Su. he had a long sword with him and a small buckler shield. It seemed to be an odd pairing. However, he also had longer limbs making him tall for a dragonkin warrior. The added height would definitely give him a unique battle style that would make him harder to face. Su saw this but she looked at him like he was a bug. She knew that she had to enrage them more. Knew that it was a key to victory. But her blood also screamed at her, she had to be the best of them!

The longsword lashed out toward Su but her shields slammed together. The larger defenses from the twin shields when linked made the attack completely useless. It didn't even make Su budge. However, when she pushed back, the larger shield coming at him made the dragonkin take a slight step back. It was another provocation.

The earth affinity dragonkin should be as stable as stone. They shouldn't be pushed back. Yet, they had in just a moment of battle. They had already been beaten in a small matter. The next attack had to hit and defeat Su.

That was why the buckler was abandoned completely. Why defend when they could attack? They were earth dragonkin. They had tougher bodies than all others, which made them able to defend a human's attack with no problem. So what if this human had already proven that they were strong? They had trained longer, they had worked under a royal dragon, and they were not willing to lose!

The long sword came down with double the force as the dragonkin used both hands in his attack. The attack made a loud metal ringing when it came in to contact with the twin shields, But what surprised the dragonkin was how Su countered it. She split the shields letting the sword fall down to the deck. The force had been perfect to deflect the word to the ground and make a perfect opening.

Using the split shield, Su turned her left and blocked the long sword from being able to be brought back up. The right shield slammed in to the shoulder of the dragonkin completely throwing him off balance. She didn't stop theory though.

Su had the advantage to keep this energy rolling. She was setting the pace for the battle, not the dragonkin and she was going to make sure of that. Therefore, Su used her momentum to charge forward using as much force as she could. The downward momentum and the shield slamming back together in to one large shield ensured that the dragonkin could not move fast enough to block it.

He either had to drop his sword or he would need to take the full attack. But he had another option. In a flash of silver and brown, a metal like skin seemed to form over his scales. This was the metal scale skill that Su wanted to learn about as soon as possible, the skillet that would make her defenses reach another level.

"Let's see how tough you are!" Su growled out her will to fight more. She knew that the real battle had finally started. She was going to test out every aspect of the skill she needed. Every single little detail.
