Chapter 116: Predator Or Prey[II]

BOOOOM!

A terrifying gale of shockwave accompanied by a loud sonic explosion shook the entire place.

Trees around the periphery were swept by the explosion as a shockwave shook the trees from their roots while the wood of some trees burst apart.

The air seemed to shake for a moment.

With a shudder, Leon let out a muffled groan, and trembling, he flew back crashing onto the tree that shook tilting to the side.

Terpas body shot back in the air due to recoil, converting his momentum by fluttering his wings and drawing an arc, he left behind images, and he glided towards Leon without giving him any time to react.

He utilized his ferocious fist that was covered with spurs of sharp claws. With a ton of force, he struck hard against Leon's chest.

Blood flew as Terpas' claws managed to leave a scratch and Leon's body sank down bursting through the trunk below.

Leon gritted his teeth, struggling to get out of the grasp but Terpas had no intention of letting him go.

Compared to Kraft, Terpas was more violent and bigger, his spurs and claws were even sharper, and pitch pitch-black skin was fully covered with a hard external shell. From afar, he looked like a black warrior covered in full armor.

His thick and heavy wings stirred up strong gusts of wind as he lunged at Leon with his other arm.

Leon lifted up his arms to block the attack.

RIPP!

His sharp claws pierced Leon's right arm but much to Terpa's surprise, his claws weren't able to dig deeper.

With each struggle, the weight of the king pressed down upon him, driving him deeper into the piles of wood scattered across the ground.

Leon gritted his teeth against the searing pain as the Vampire King's claws pierced his hardened flesh, tearing through muscle and sinew. His muscles strained and trembled as he fought against the overwhelming force, his heart pounding with desperation.

But despite the agony coursing through his veins, Leon refused to yield. With a surge of determination, he summoned every ounce of his remaining strength, pushing against the king with all his might, the stakes beneath them creaking ominously.

Holding onto Leon's shoulder, he flapped his wings and shot towards the sky pulling Leon along.

Leading him to the sky while his claws tried to penetrate deeper leaving a trail of blood dripping down.

Leon swung his torso to kick Terpas who swayed his body to avoid it.

"Futile!"Terpas sneered.

Leon gritted his teeth as he held one of Terpa's claws from piercing deeper while the other one from stabbing his neck.

Gripping Terpa's arm tightly, he yanked forward and thrashed his head onto Terpas.

BANG!

A crackling sound echoed as Leon's head rammed into Terpas head making him dizzy. Leon didn't stop and kept on headbutting Terpas now.

BANG!BANG!BANG!BANG!BANG!

Leon hit every part of his face, especially his nose, making Terpas eyes tear up.

Terpas in his dizziness lost the rhythm of his flight and both of them fell toward the ground with astonishing momentum.

Immediately afterward, he clenched his right fist and threw a punch without holding back.

BOOM!

He used his extremely powerful fist and knocked Leon onto the ground.

Huge cracks appeared on the muddy ground due to the explosions caused by the collision.

Dust dissipated entirely, after which two sinister figures were revealed. The bigger menacing figure was firmly pinning the smaller figure to the ground.

Terpas pressed his fist against Leon and said coldly"See, it's precisely this kind of ending that was supposed to happen."

"No one can block my power, and no one can break my armor. It is perfect for offense and defense."

"It's me who is the predator and you are all my prey."

COUGH....COUGH...

Leon coughed fiercely, halting Terpas grand speech. His chest heaved up and down as it was pressed by Terpas.

But despite all this, he gave out a broken smile.

"Strength, speed, and resistance..."Leon muttered, coughing a mouthful of blood.

"However and surprisingly so do I..."

The moment Leon flashed a polite smile, Terpa's expression changed immediately.

Terpas found Leon's body getting increasingly hard. Expressionlessly he pressed his claws over Leon to tear him. His claws were tightly clenched and his strength slowly increased with the contraction of his huge bulging muscles.

SWOOSH!

From the back of Leon the wing tore its way and with momentum, the sharp bones of wings stabbed at Terpa's eyes with a terrifying speed.

Terpas ducked down to avoid the sharp shred from destroying his eyes but the moment he ducked down, his eyes were blocked by a punch.

In a short period, Leon threw a punch that punctured Terpa's face with tremendous force.

BANG!

Terpas rotated his body in the air and landed on his feet a dozen meters away and scanned the human before him who gave an intimidated feeling.

"What sort of game are you playing?"

After taking a second look, he was unable to detect the menacing power of the human.

There was something really odd and it wasn't just the darkness.

"Do you think all of this is a game?"

And shortly thereafter, the human slowly raised his head. When Terpa's eyes met, Leon brushed back his hair.

At the moment, Terpas spotted an expression that could be described as indifferent and icy giving off the impression of an emotion.

Things started alarming when his dark soulless eyes became golden.

A powerful hue began to envelop Leon's body and at the same time, Dragon Fear erupted casting a monumental and intimidating pressure.

"What's this? How do you have that?"

Terpas voice quivered as he had to summon all his power to stop himself from running away. His years of experience were screaming in his mind.

His legs buckled up and his body shivered as every fiber of his body started feeling fear.

Leon raises his head upward facing the dark clouds with a smile.

"Can't you hear it?"

"Hear what?"Terpas blurted out subconsciously.

"The voices in your head...."

At that time, a change occurred in Leon as scales emerged and covered his hands and neck while his sclera became hollow and dark, and the golden tint of his eyes became more bright.

"Aren't they speaking to you?"

"...To run...To escape.."

Leon murmured in a languid force as he used most of his qi to push the limit of his draconic body.

[Draconic Transformation.]

GULP

Terpas swallowed a mouth full of his saliva as he moved back due to the weight pressure getting heavier.

'No, I can't retreat. I will lose everything if I step back. I can only step forward.'

'Defeat can't be accepted.'

'If I lose I won't be forgiven.'

Countless thoughts ran in Terpas mind.

His body accelerated through the air as he approached Leon swiftly.

"Do you think I would allow you to adapt to this form?"

Terpas revealed a crazy smile as he slashed the human that was in front attacking with everything he had got.

Unfortunately, Leon was able to avoid this attack with just a small step backward.

"You might be stronger, faster, and more resilient. But you are far below me.."

Terpas was startled by a sudden whisper in his ear. When he turned around, he saw Leon standing directly behind him and his expression changed drastically.

'WHAT?'

Before he could comprehend anything, his expression distorted, and his face curled into an O shape, as he felt a hard fist slamming in his torso.
