Douluo Dalu: 9 Treasure Sword

Finally recuperating my sight a saw in front of me Glut. Glut looked at me and burped then as if he never was there disappeared, I couldn't help to blink in incredulity.

Calming my self I looked at my surrounding, I could see a devastated area. With half meter deep hole of more than 200 meters long and 20 meters wide without any kind of vegetation following the trail of the light attack. I and Mayi staying over a untouched land platform with eclipse form 10 meters long and 3 meters wide.

At the direction of the attack I could find a dragon like figure. It slowly approached us pressuring us with every step. When it was 50 m of us I can clearly see what beast it was. White Sword Dragon, it is a type of dragon witch is covered by pure white swords instead of scales. It was 10 meter long standing with 4 powerful legs, 2 meter long tail and a characteristic 3 meters sword in its forehead with 6 swords of 1,5 m along its back with one little sword at its back's center.

This type of dragon can't fly but with its body covered with hundreds of 30 cm long sword has the best defense, considering impregnable, only having one little sword at it back with has a weaker defense that the rest, but even with that its defense is great, the called Reverse Sword. It is said that if you don't have enough power to break its Reverse Sword even if its completely immobile and dying it would be impossible for you to injure it a bit.

Even when its specialization is defense, it also has attack methods. It can control all its sword enlarging them doubling their length, he also can control outside sword that are under its control putting energy in it. Finally, it most powerful attack is a concentration of sword energy like intent throwing it using its forehead sword.

If I was correct the previous light attack was its more powerful, and it can't do it again, needing to rest and acc.u.mulate energy to execute again.

Another aspect to highlight is that when it break through to 100.000 years it evolve to Dragon Swordmaster, a pseudo human spirit beast, which is known to be impossible to escape from its domain. There's one of them as the king of the Steel Dump, considering the Steel Dump one Death area where when you enter is impossible to escape without its king permission.

I didn't waste any second I caught Mayi's hand "Run!" I shouted to her and started running away from it.

"Groooooahhhhh!" The dragon howled. Just in front of us as is reacting to the howl multiple sword ascend from underground creating a wall that stopped our escape. Looking around is not only the area in front of us, all around the dragon swords ascended. Finally creating a sword dome of 200 m diameter enclosing the Sword Dragon and us in.

I could sense some sword domain from the dome cutting any kind of information to the exterior of it. The good part being that also seemed to improve my intent, but surely the Dragon is stronger in there.

This is the famous Sword Domain of the dragon, being created injecting its aura to countless sword it is a pseudo Domain because it needed the preparation of swords as a catalyst. This is the main reason of the terror of the Dragon Swordmaster, being capable of create a 10 km domain around the Steel Dump where it can control all the swords in it. I only can pray that this Sword Dragon in front of me still hasn't arrived at that level.

"It seems that there's no escape" I though in loud voice "Mayi, be prepared to fight". The previous easy going attitude of Mayi complete vanished and she nodded to me completely serious with any ounce of emotion, completely at guard.

"By the length of its forehead sword it seems that it is only 30.000 years old. I don't think that it is capable of sword control further than creating the domain. Be aware nonetheless" I said. I quickly killed the previous Unicorn piercing with my sword, I don't want a random factor in this battle.

I breathed profound preparing completely for probably the most difficult fight of my life. I exhale all the air concentrate my Mind Eye to it maximum detail only with 2 m around me, charging toward the Dragon being closely followed by Mayi.

"Grooahhhh!" The Dragon howled at us staying still at his place looking us like below him. We arrived at it. The Dragon lift its front legs, then it quickly strike our positions.

I activated my 3rd skill slowing it down. I and Mayi evaded the attack both of us dodging to opposite directions. Just as its attacks just grazed us, the swords at its frontal legs illuminates and expanded. I reacted in time blocking it causing me to only be pushed 5 meters.

Mayi hadn't had much luck and she was struck in her armpit causing a little crack in her armor and was thrown crashing to a nearly tree. She quickly recuperated and stood up but it can be easily see her injured.

At our previous positions it can be seen a 5 meters diameter hole made by the Sword Dragon impact. I direct impact meaning our death.

"Are you find Mayi?" I asked her receiving a nod for her part, but she is holding her left arm seeming impossible for her to move it.

We regroup "This time you attack I will concentrate in defend you" I said.

Mayi charged toward the Dragon I followed near her prepared for any attack. This time the Dragon only lifted his right leg and strike toward us. We both evaded to the left. The leg's swords illuminated

expanding. This time using my intent I swung at them creating a shield with the aura effectively blocking all the swords.

Mayi passing through the front of the dragon jumped up over the dragon. I pierced toward her throwing aura creating a footstep for her. She flip 180º in mid air stepping at my footstep and kicked it shooting her toward the Reverse Sword of the Sword Dragon.

In that moment the Dragon even without looking at us, its forehead's sword illuminated and from it tip a little light ray no more then 5 cm diameter shot toward Mayi. I activated my first skill and swung my sword toward the Dragon's ray creating an intent shield to block the ray.

The light ray easily passed through my shield completely destroying it. I become very surprised at that and could only observe impotent as the ray pierce through Mayi's stomach canceling her charge and being thrown to the ground completely immobile.

Looking at Mayi immobile at the ground while a red pool of blood is being formed under her. I couldn't control my grief and fury and reckless charges toward the Dragon.

I jumped to its back and activating all my skills with the maximum input in combination with my intent a swing toward its Reverse Sword. My all powered attack crashing towards the Reverse Sword "Clack!" only to be rebound not causing any damage at all, except for my own hand than can stop to shake.

This time I sense the Dragon gaze. It was looking at me seeming to grin at me, it pointed at me with its forehead's sword that suddenly lengthen piercing my right arm, causing for me to drop my sword.

Due to the combination of pain and grief I started losing consciousness. Just as I was closing my eyes falling to the back of the Dragon I listened a sigh followed by a voice [Good greaf! Weak! It seems that it is finally my turn now. Hahaha]. After listening it I blacked out closing my eyes completely listening to laughs.
