BANG——!
with ringing echo coming from somewhere beneath, the dragon who silently slither above sky felt an air in front, splitting, distorted. As its instinct kicked in, it jerk its head towards the right but——
CRRK—
Something, a cracking sound, is what it heard and a searing pain runs throughout its temple and to its surprise, one of its horns has been blown off like that of a cloud that received a full blown punch; or a crystal breaking into pieces. In layman's term, one of his horns has been destroyed; and in that said horn remains only its tiny fragments of shimmering pieces fell in front of it, seeing this remnant, the snake-like dragon wail not in pain but full of wrath as it then bellow.
GRRRROOOOAA———!!
Beneath is where the sound is coming from, a man's body flickers and in his two hand is a gauntlet that is too big for his hand to wear, but because this is an 'equipment' in a game who defies physics; a virtual world and even in this world, size doesn't matter as long as its an equipment; weapon or armor, they are wearable. For him, that is.
Swish— Swish—
In every flick of his body, space becomes distorted as his body from seconds ago remains is only an after image as he dashes and teleports. Momentarily, he is now below the legendary monster's position parallel to it.
Kicking the ground, he leaped like a rocket towards the said creature. But then, as if the dragon knew where he is coming, what welcomed him is a golden-dark breath of lightning, dances along with purple colored-like shaded petal.
Again, if in front of him isn't a monster, he would think that seeing this is a miracle. Is what the man thought.
«Vanishing Drift»
But unbeknownst to dragon's knowledge, the man could teleported himself out in a fix range from his original position. And with two kicks of the empty air, the man is now at the back of the dragon's head, and started nailing his fists into the dragon's wide forehead who's still in an animation of breathing his wrath out of his lungs.
Not waiting; no mercy as the snake-like dragon flew down like a meteor.
BOOM!
Even with that height, the crashing sound resounded at the same time its body collided to an earthen ground—destroys, cracks and the forest momentarily turned to deserted area creating mushroom-like dust towards the highest cloud where a man who hammers it.
"Heh, why this guy isn't that durable compare to the goliath?" Says the man whose in mid-air, letting its body descend towards the now deserted ground, the man named Zetta.
"FUUCKKKK!!!!"
A resounding cuss coming from below-and as if the air current and dusts frightened, they gave way and dispersed.
"See? This guy is an intelligent. There's no fucking way he defeated the so called strongest Familia if he isn't, that would embarrassed Zeus himself" as if he knew this would happen, Zetta who landed started to look towards the area where the dragon should resting but what remained is an empty crater.
"Was it your fucking shitwork!?"
There, only 5 meters away from his position, stands a man who has a dark dishevealed hair with one side covering its eye, wearing purple robe with stripes of red, its golden horn is what remains while the purple one is now gone.
Like in its dragon form, it also has a crimson pupil while its scelra instead of white is a dark color. It has the hand dark lingering aura with light purple scales and dark nails. In its back protruded another big hand-like wings, the same size as his hip that is long enough to weild a weapon; and like his human hand, it also has scales but this time is a golden hue
This man is covered by a menacing electric-like shadowy aura and is now glaring towards the lone wolf in front of him, as if looking to dig for its grave.
But to its surprise, the man(Zetta) smirked and while he felt a single tinged coming from the latter's silver eye as if stripping him naked—a man then threw his own word instead of answering the dragon l
"Heh? A human form? Thats amazing but why are you so weak? Are you really that one eyed black dragon? Huh? Imoogi?"
The word from the man destroys the remaining ego of a dragon; as it clenched its fist.
From within the dragon's mind right now is a flame that wants total annihilation.
"...."
HONG——!
As if an [Ariel] of Ais has activated, within the radius from where the dragon stands, pushes everything in its wake as if the shadows become tsunami in itself.
"You ask for it, you fucking bastard!!"
[ [WARNING: Cursed
[ [WARNING: Cursed
[ [WARNING: Cursed
Zetta's eye twitched in surprise after three successive notification pop up in front of his face. Though that air didn't push him. He felt that something within his body enters an unidentified but subtly familiar sensation as he felt this urgency once before, after that notification then popped up.
'Fuck!? Red Alert!?' He swore out of surprise and fear.
The notifications like this are very rare to pop-up in which, the first time is an orange warning from the Antares from Elsus Ruin, and then the yellow warning from Freya who he saw for the first time after entering the Orario. and the last red warning is from the Jaggernaut who he killed alone during the time he almost fell unconscious but at that time, he's already in the brink of death. but this time—
'Its a debuff, enough to be a life threatening!?'
—————
Fated To Perish: a curse thats been ticking like a clock. After its activation, the curse is already taking its effect.
Effect:
—————
"Holy fucking hell!?" Again, Zetta swears for an nth time as he look towards the raging man whose eye is now thundering red while the eye thats covering its scar is still closed by its own hair—flatters, that Zetta saw this scene 'so does a one eyed!' he muttered while still the back of his head is still thinking the sensations just now.
The shadow eerie figure who pushes the terrain still lingers there as if the captain of Artemis familia is in another dimension with the dragon, encompassing and separating them from the world.
"Oi fucking snake, tell me what is this [Fated to Perish] thing!" with threatening face, Zetta asks the legendary dragon called, Imoogi.
"You fucker calling me a snake! That's what happen to a fucktard when they piss the shit out of me! Hah! If you wanna know? make me! you fucking cunt" The Imoogi wore a kind of happy smile but deep down inside he is freaked out 'Urgh! the hell! how come he know its exact name!?' is what he thought.
At first, the Imoogi wanted to return inside the dungeon because he felt like he was weakening overtime ever since he came out of the dungeon—until a couple of years ago especially after defeating the last raid of adventurers who challenged him—and instead he getting weaker and weaker. But here, a man as if knew he was coming, intercepts his plan.
Truth is, he only want to sneakily return inside the dungeon, he didn't or refraining himself from killing along the way but he would eat if he starve—but then again the thoughts filled his mind.
'who, who the fuck knows I will returning to my home! Is there a divinity Gods that descends who are now at that city?! Fuck fuck fuck! whose the fucker that foil my plan!?'
And another 'And this fucking guy, not only he evaded my lightning breathe, he even force me to use my 10 years of cooldown of my cursed skill! Damn it!'
With that thought in mind, the Imoogi returned to reality and clench his four fists and sprints towards Zetta.
"Make me, but why you're the assailant? Its as if, you're running out of time?"
With slight smile as if he knew, the dragon sweated in cold.
Though Zetta is only guessing according to his enemy's reaction through process of observation, he hit the mark on his first try. 'but what kind of time? his life span? No, if that is, he would return inside the dungeon muchh sooner—wait, return?! he won't attacking the orario but he was returning? Then, what is the prophecy of Goddess Alex that would devastate the whole Orario? Is that in the near future if he successfully returned?'
With countless thoughts filled his mind, Zetta sprints from the side at the same time, Imoogi followed suit and clawed him coming from its big wing-like hand.
BOOM——! Zzap——!
The hand then created a black lightning and went straight at Zetta, creating thunderous sound and shock. Teleporting above, Zetta for the second time, hammered his gauntlet downward directly straight from the head of a dragon
BANG——!
But the dragon welcomed it with other big winged-hand gripping his gauntlet while his human hand are now creates one golden hue colored lightning bolt
BANG——! Zzap——!
The same skill has been unleashed and was too sudden that Zetta couldn't teleported out or stomp his feet and instead shield it. . .
As Zetta landed not far away, his right hand holding «Kite Shield Regas» who has
"Fucker! My favorite shield!"
"Heh? Aren't you lucky your favorite life is still alive right now?" The Imoogi wear his mocking smile and said the word.
As if not in his concern—
Unequip «Golden Lion Gauntlet»
Equipped «Spear of Linginus»
Hong Hong Hong Thump-!
Zetta equipped his spear and after a couple of swing, he then thump its back towards he ground, creating small cracks, after then transparent light produced as its center
Activate
Thanks to his friend who are a beta testers, he knew where low level weapon with growth-rate would find and adding the fact that he has an inheritance from his deceased parents, he could buy any growth-type weapon from the auction house through real money even if it takes thousands of dollars and because the game is only in its beginning phase from that time, there are many opportunities event like opening 'Pandora's Box' or 'Gatcha Box' through real money or game event and because of that, why he has a weapon with attached skill.
As for growth-type, its a weapon that needs a crafting materials before it could ascend to another level plus a money(In Game Gold) thats needed in every smelting process, plus time consuming if one hunt every materials alone. that is why the weapon itself is a money-eating game and thanks to this why majority of players selling theirs and only hunt normal weapons according to their levels and wait for higher level weapon instead. Welp, its only for weapon and not an armors—and thanks to it why he has many crafting materials especially for blacksmithing. Yep, the game is P2W (pay-2-win) in a sense but at the end of the day. What factors is the player's skills and technique. . .
Returning to present time as it ticks slowly, and after activating the skill of
[ [NOTIFICATION:
again, three ringing sound and a pop up is what he heard and seen
'Damn it, is this curse too strong!?' At the same time, he patted his scarf and bluish-light particles emerged and subsude thereafter.
The scarf then changed but because it has same color and type of fiber, nothing change much other than the particle thing effect
Unequip «Scarf of Chasteifol»
Equipped «Scarf of Raava»
As nothing happens after equipping Raava, Zetta's face contorted and become helpless
'Fucking hell!' Again, he swore as the «Scarf of Raava» has a passive skill
'Meaning, his skill is already activated and nullification could not lifted its effect any longer!? Damn it, if I know it from the very beginning I change my scarf before the battle!'
Regret then fill in his mind as Zetta's body helplessly sways from the side and close his eyes but thanks to his spear did he return back his footing.
"Heh? Did you already lose your strength—!?"
But the mock of the dragon cut by his own tongue as rush of fright flicked from his very eye, because the sight infront of him is frightening and much comparable from the 'Flaming Guy' he retreated from inside the dungeon.
Out of fear, he stepped back.
What he saw is an eye, devoid of emotion but unlike any other, while his adversary is like a black hole that could swallow whole his shadowy aura and golden lightning
'Ha ha ha, fuck I fin'ly found it! I found you atlast you motherfucker! Ha ha ha!!'
As if happiness has eaten his own soul, the dragon forgot what's infront of him is the second person who made his body shiver in fear. But in this second time, happiness crept within him. 'He he, all I need is to slightly push him towards 'that' line and I win. . .Lucky!'
Then, he snap and at the same time, enlightened by the man's very word.
"[Fated to Perish], tell me what that skill is!"
That very word full of fury made the little-snake smirk and elated as if the man himself knock within his front door.
