Atheline could feel his strength. He was at start peak EX just a step away from Mystic.
Varkas looked directly at him.
"You've been holding back."
Atheline nodded.
"Yes."
"Why?"
"I don't want to hurt anyone."
Varkas grinned.
"Good."
His body transformed. Dark scales covered him completely, and his wings spread. A deep roar shook the arena.
Atheline drew his bow in preparation. He looked lesser just standing infront of the man.
The battle began.
Varkas charged the ground shaking. Atheline fired the moment he stepped forward. The arrow struck the dragon's chest and a burst of Lightning exploded.
Varkas continued forward unperturbed. Atheline fired another; ice spread across one wing the moment it hit. This time, the dragon stumbled, then he released a massive wave of dark flames.
Atheline used Wind.
His body shot upward too fast for most of in the arena to see as the flames passed beneath him. He drew his sword while descending.
