Chapter 68
Ark looks at him with a questioning look and says;
"I don't recommend going on this route, you will regret it."
Syragoth doesn't care about what Ark said, he just looks at him like at a dead man. Until now, only one managed to break the limit of his power. That was the 'Old One'. And for him no one is stronger than the 'Old One', that means that Ark doesn't stand a chance to overload his power level. He will become his 'Food' that will take him even higher, so high that he will be able to stand tall in front of any Celestial. Even the Leaders. So he will win.
He jumps up and spreads his wings, then he looks down at Ark and makes some fire balls the size of baseball balls, that start flying down like rain. Ark starts running all over the place while avoiding the fire balls rain, and when a ball hits the ground is like a rocket strike. Behind him only destruction remains. While running he starts piking some stones from the ground, he starts firing some towards Syragoth, and those make him to move. After a few throws Ark finds a window, and he kicks the ground and jumps up with the speed of sound. And at the perfect timing because after dodging a stone Syragoth appears exactly in front of Ark.
He tries to fire a dragon breath, but Ark kicks the air and turns to the side then he kicks again and before Syragoth got the chance to do anything he sees Ark on his side, his foot already breaking a few of his ribs, the strike sending him flying for a few miles in the air, leaving a trail in the clouds, like Moses saw the see spread in front of him. But again he feels his powers stolen.
Syragoth spreads his wings and stops himself forcefully, his body already healed by Ark' energy, he looks back at him and flaps his wings one time and that sends him flying faster than the speed of sound, he flaps again, and he just disappears.
Ark feels something wrong beneath him, he looks down and sees him with a fire breath charged, he fires, and Ark is almost hit, he avoids it but not completely, his left foot is caught in the burning hot like a sun fire. Then the breath flies in the space.
But Syragoth is not there anymore, he appears behind Ark and punches him in the ribs, breaking a few. Ark ignores the pain and turns with an elbow towards Syragoth's head. And Syragoth still being with his punch in Ark's ribs, he takes the elbow hit full force that almost makes him lose consciousness. But he bites his tongue, and clarity returns to his head just in time because Ark is now with his fingers interlocked into one another and both hands raised high, ready to hit him like a hammer.
He has time just to raise his hands above his head. Then he feels the hit heavy like a planet hit him. The force sending him like a broken kite towards the ground, his hands broken.
He hits the ground like an asteroid. Making a crater the size of a small lake. Inside the crater Syragoth is hurt, he thinks, 'So he wasn't only talk, he can also deliver. But this is fun.'
He gets up and looks in front of him, there he sees Ark waiting at the edge of the crater. He smiles and again he starts flying, his wounds healing, but the energy stealing not working how he thought it would, the energy he steals is used to heal himself. That is not how it's supposed to be. He should gather it and make use of it to raise his own. He needs to do more damages than he takes, that is the only way. Or the best would be to knock him out and take his energy at his pace and how much he wants. But that is not so simple.
While thinking his body is also healed. Then he raises his speed and flies towards Ark, he makes some fire balls and fires all around where he is, and then he fires a dragon breath towards him, after doing all that he chances direction and flies up.
Ark sees the incoming heat and jumps up. But he sees Syragoth already in the air, with some spears made of fire, the spears start spinning and flies towards him, the spears being ten times more powerful and faster, before Ark can do something the spears are already in front of him, he puts his hands in front of his head and brings his knees in front of his chest, making his body a smaller target, and some protection to his important organs.
The spears hit, and in a moment pierce his hands and legs and sends him flying back, but the spears having just enough power to pierce through the hands and legs then they stop. And the rest burning his body overall. When he stops, his hands and legs are like Swiss cheese and the sides of his body with burn marks all over.
Ark looks at him and says;
"This is fun, but why do i feel like you are holding back?"
Syragoth looks at him surprised, he answers;
"It's because of the 'Old One' and his Death Aura inside my body. It keeps me from using my full power, right now I'm only fighting with 50% of my powers."
Ark smiles and says;
"Well, if i would have my powers i could free you. But right now, i can't. But i think my girlfriend could do something for you. Now we will fight like this, I'm also at –110% power level with my body. So, we are kind of equally handicapped."
Syragoth looks at him and doesn't know if he jokes or telling the truth. If he jokes then it's no problem, but if he tells the truth then something is really wrong here, 'He is at –110% power level?' and his abilities are also all sealed. That can't be real. He looks at him and waits for him to laugh and say it was a joke. But he sees him looking at him normally, like nothing is out of the ordinary. He says;
"That can't be real, if you are telling the truth it means that no one can even stand before you, not even the 'Old One'."
Ark looks at him calmly and says;
"Until now i haven't meet anyone more powerful than me, i mean to make me say, yes i can unseal all of my power. The most i ever unseald was –30% when i fought against Anora Era. And that was possible because of a really powerful pocket Dimension Artifact. And not many know this, but even if i unseal my power levels in the + range. I have three stages that i can raise my powers, the first stage is until +1000%. The second stage is until +100.000%. And the third stage is until +1.000.000%. And after this stage i can still level up even more. So yeah, while i am in these Dimensions, i can't even raise my power level in the plus without destroying them. So if i want to see how powerful i really am, i need to go further than these known Dimensions. And i will go beyond the 'Unknown', i will see what lies further."
Syragoth just looks at him like at a lunatic, his eyes saying, 'I don't believe a word of what you said.' Ark just laughs and his face says, 'I don't care if you believe me or not.'
But something changed in the aura of Syragoth, he pulls back his yellow aura, and he looks like he wants to say something but doesn't dare. When he finally finds the right words, he sees Ark appearing in front of him with his punch one millimeter away from his nose. Just like Ark at first now he doesn't have time to do anything and takes the punch full force. He is sent flying breaking trees stones and hills in the process, then he bounces off a few times against the Earth and stops with his face facing the sky. 'Mother****, he can hold a grudge.'
He gets up and sees him smiling with an evil laugh, he said all that so that he can make him lose focus and take him by surprise. He knew that i won't believe him, but i would be enough to make me lose focus for a second, 'I will make him regret it.'
He spreads his wings and flies towards him, it reaches Ark in a second then he punches towards his face, but Ark crouches and wants to hit him with an elbow in the belly, which is a mistake.
Syragoth looks at him and knows that if he were a normal human then it didn't have any chance to defend against this fast exchange, but he is a dragonkin, he has an extra weapon. In the last second he uses his tail to strike Ark's body from the side.
He is sent flying like a missile, again destroying trees and bouncing off the Earth, he rolls on his back and lands on his feet still sliding a bit. Then he flies back at him.
