10x EXP: The Weakest Dragon Devours them all

Riker knew he had to block that attack to win this, but his rage grew heavier and he could not think straight. He threw a punch in rage, his fist collided with the punch.

BOOM!

The collision caused a massive explosion. A bright light filled the air, so bright that no one could see, and then the force hurled Riker back. He slammed into the ground and rolled for a few meters before coming to a stop.

When Riker got back on his feet, his entire arm was bleeding. His gauntlet had not broken, but it was heavily damaged. Blood dripped down and hit the floor while he stood, his arm filled with broken bones.

Tempest stood on the other side and looked at him. "I have to give it to you, you are indeed strong and you have a ton of potential to reach the highest height.

Haha, you might even be capable of outclassing that master of yours. He may be strong, but you, you have the potential for greatness.

So how about this, come with me, work with me, and I’ll help you reach the fulfillment of your potential. So what do you say?

This entire war has already swung in my favor. Your army may be holding up now, fighting hard against mine, but that’s only for now, because when I am done with you, I’ll head over there and clear out the rest."

"Haha, hahahaha, hahahah." Riker suddenly burst into laughter, tears streaming down his face.

Tempest looked at him and frowned.

"What’s so funny?"

"The fact that you don’t get it. There are two things you do not understand.

One is I hate you." He said and started stepping forward.

"You enrage me because rather than use your power to become better, you look for those weaker. You hurt Ragna, and if I stand beside you, I might as well die!"

As those words left his mouth, he shot forward, his foot leaving a deep cave in the ground. He moved so fast that he was barely a blur. With only one hand active, he swung. Tempest dodged, the attack weaved past him. Riker stomped hard, shot into the air, and tried to grab Tempest from above, only for Tempest to grab his leg and pull him down, slamming him into the ground hard.

Riker bounced off the floor and into the air. Tempest unleashed a slash at close range, the blade dug into the flesh of Riker and threw him back, spraying blood as he moved through the air.

He hit the ground hard and did not get up. The slash had run from his shoulder across his chest and down, a very lethal strike.

"I guess that’s the end for you as well," Tempest said and turned around.

Riker lay there on the ground, almost passing out completely. His sight got blurry and everything around him was fading into darkness.

"Think before you attack, Riker."

He suddenly heard the voice of Ragna in his head.

"You have more potential than me, use it." Ezra’s voice followed.

"You are important to the organization."

He heard the voice of Ren. His eyes snapped open and he struggled back to his feet, blood leaking out of him like a fountain.

He got on his two feet, body swaying from side to side as he struggled to stand.

"Think before you attack."

He looked at Tempest, who was walking away, and closed his eyes for a second. In his mind, he began to run simulations, multiple of them all running at the same time.

His eyes snapped open.

"Hey, asshole, you did not hear the second reason."

Tempest turned around and saw him standing.

"Sigh. Why don’t you all just die? What could possibly be the second reason that has you here defying death?"

"Well, the second reason is, I was only a distraction. The real deal will handle you."

When he said that, Tempest’s eye widened because he could already tell who he was talking about.

"You brat!" He roared and charged in, moving extremely fast. He leaped into the air and swung down.

"That’s it, attack me like that," Riker muttered to himself. He waited for the very right moment and stepped to the side, evading the blade cleanly, but even then, he did not attack. He pulled back a step because he knew that Tempest would always counter fast, and he was right. The counter slash followed, and he was out of range.

Tempest looked with wide eyes. He tried to recover, but it was far too late. Riker placed his palms together and attacked with a compressed blast of flames right into the chest of Tempest.

Tempest was thrown back until he slammed into the mountain. A massive spiderweb crack formed, and Tempest collapsed to the ground, coughing a huge mouthful of blood.

There was a huge wound on his chest that spilled even more blood. He looked up suddenly at Riker.

"Hahahahhahaha!" He burst into a wild cackle while bleeding out even more.

"You really are something else. If only you had chosen to follow me." He said and then raised both hands. Riker stepped back, thinking something would happen, only for nothing to happen.

"Hahaha, you thought I was going to do something else? Well, I can’t. You have managed to take me down, and that’s what’s funny, because I am a forest lord and you are a simple lizardman.

You are indeed awesome, and I, Tempest, declare you the strongest lizardman.

Sad to say, that will not last long."

The moment he said that, a red wave spread from him through his hand and into the soil in seconds. Riker looked around in confusion, trying to figure out what was happening. Suddenly, massive hands made of pure red mana broke out of the floor and grabbed him before he could move.

He struggled but could not get out. Then he looked at Tempest, who was now standing and walking toward him, the wound in his chest slowly healing.

He stood in front of Riker, staring right into his eye.

"Goodbye, kid," he said before plunging his fist right into Riker’s chest, a wound so deep it almost came out the back. He pulled his fist out and watched the light leave Riker’s eyes slowly. He removed the mana hands and allowed Riker to drop to the floor.

Tempest was still wounded, and so he staggered a bit before he continued to walk. He got a few steps away before he felt something.

He turned around and looked up, only to see a highly compressed shot of red flames coming at him at a speed that he could not dodge.

Tempest moved out of the way as fast as he could but could not fully evade the attack. The blast ripped through his hand and completely ripped it off.

He watched as his left hand flew through the air in one direction while he went in the other direction. He hit the floor hard and clutched his arm in pain.

"Argjhhhhhhhh!" he screamed as the flame still caused more pain even after the arm was cut off entirely.

Ren landed, came down in his dragon form, and transformed, allowing all those on his back to drop down.

His foot touched the ground, and chaos flames spread out from a single touch. He looked back at Riker, who was on the ground, and then to Ragna. He could barely sense their life. He clenched his jaw and took a deep breath before he spoke.

"Take them fast and tend to them. Kill every ogre that refuses to give up," he gave the instructions and then turned to look at Tempest, who was now struggling to get back to his feet.

"You came after my people? Came after my home?"

Ren growled and took a step. The flames surged from his feet.

Tempest stepped back, fear forming in his eyes.

"You, you came and changed everything. It is your fault everything is like this now. It is your fault that I had to do this."

Somehow, those words pissed Ren off greatly. He blinked right to the front of Tempest. Tempest attempted to attack in desperation, but his hand was caught midair. Ren looked him dead in the eye.

A fear that Tempest had never faced before soon formed in him as he stared into that eye.

"Arghhhh, let go of me, let go, you monster!" He screamed, and Ren replied with a punch right to the gut, one so hard it sent his body flying backward. He hit the ground and bounced like a ball.

Tempest curled into a ball and groaned in pain. Ren looked at him and felt no pity in his heart. He rushed over there, only to be blocked by a sudden wind wall that intercepted him and shattered immediately after. Aris appeared right beside Tempest and started helping him up.

Ren saw this and flew into an instant rage, attacking the wind wall, which shattered immediately after, but before he could get to her, she plunged her hand into the chest of Tempest and pulled out his heart.
