The Bajaragon squinted its eyes and belched powerful mes at them.


    Aldred was shocked. The distance between them and the dragon was at least a few kilometers, and yet its me breath reached them and burned the whole surface.


    Aldred snorted and reached out his hand. “Fire Absorption.”


    All the mes entered his hand, revealing the scared adventurers.


    The Bajaragon stared at the boy in anger and a slight shock. How could that boy looking so weak and frail absorbed his mes? It was the king of mes in this area, so this should be impossible.


    Aldred smiled and beckoned at the creature.


    Feeling challenged, the Bajaragon dove down. me jets shot out from both wings and back. Suddenly, the wavy hard scales that looked like a crown on top of its head sparked and shining red orbs materialized around the dragon.


    The Bajaragon opened its jaw and belched a concentrated fire jet at the boy. The red orbs glowed brighter and shot zingsers at him as well.


    Aldred smiled. “This is interesting. Since you look like a fire dragon, I will fight you with fire as well.”_-.


    Aldred opened a wide stance and raised both of his hands. The mes that came towards him were absorbed, and the zingsers were bent, narrowly missing him by an inch.


    He then summoned his stick and transformed it into ‘zing Serpent’. His veins glowed in red as he thrust his staff into the sky. “Fire Elemental. All Burst!”


    Suddenly, all of his fire spells; me jet, bullets, arrows, balls, javelin, fist, andbustion activated. They continuously came from the staff and shot at the dragon.


    The dragon dodged the arrow and the javelin, but the storm of arrows struck it clean. At first, the pain wasn’t that bad, but the bullets were too much.


    Aldred smiled. With his new mastery and the spell fire bullets at level four, his firing speed wasparable to that of a machine gun. More than 1,500 rounds per minute.


    Such an astronomical amount was only possible with a huge mana capacity.


    Aldred did not need capacity. His mana was endless.


    Fire fist shot towards the dragon-like arge meteor. The longer the distance therger the me fist became, and now its size was more than the dragon itself. 


    It was terribly battered, but the Bajaragon wasn’t nning to sit still. It raised its ws about to grab onto Aldred.


    Aldred had seen its movement long before with his godly eyes, so he dodged the w easily. The dragon came mming, shaking the ground with its weight and power.


    It stared at Aldred and roared.


    Aldred returned a defiant roar. Both man and dragon fought in close range with raging mes around them.


    The orbs moved around, sendingsers and me breath at Aldred. The boy absorbed them all and returned the mes to the dragon.


    Raising its ws, the dragon angrily swiped at Aldred. The boy did not back down and swung his fist at the ws.


    The sh betweenrge ws and a small fist created a powerful shock wave that made both parties take a few steps back.


    The dragon was shocked. The boy was just a small creature. How could it make the king of mes to take a few steps back?


    Not only the dragons, but the adventurers were also even more shocked that the boy could fight a dragon physically.


    “Aldred! We will help you!” Bartrem shouted.


    “No! Let me defeat the dragon alone!” Aldred shouted with an excited smile. The excitement of battle entered his body, and he wanted to fight the creature alone.


    He pointed at the dragon. “Oy! You want to see who’s better at controlling mes?”


    The Bajaragon only slightly understood what the boy said, but it did hear the word ‘mes’. It took a deep breath and its whole body was suddenlybusted with white mes that burn bright.


    The adventurers even had to squint their eyes from the ring light.


    “Haha! Good good. That’s what I am talking about.” Aldredbusted himself with white mes as well. His high mastery of the fire elements let him do a lot of things without learning the specific spells, though the damage wasn’t high.


    The Bajaragon charged forward. Aldred as well, sending countless fire bullets at the dragon’s face.


    The dragon mmed the ground and willed for one of the orbs to attack. The orb came at his face and shone in bright light.


    “Humph! You wanted to explode me? Not in front of me!” Aldred absorbed the explosion before it could expand.


    He then threw arge fire javelin; 5 meters long. It struck the dragon’s scaled belly. The javelin only prated a couple of inches through the scales.


    “So that’s how we’re going to y.” Aldred raised his palm and summoned his fireball. He willed it to be bigger.


    Aldred smiled. “I am not done yet. Spin.”


    The fireball spun, creating a hot wind around it.


    The Bajaragon stared and snorted small mes from its nostril. It then leaped forward before rolling towards Aldred. Its body burst intorger mes with the orbs helping the mes be bigger and hotter.


    The Bajaragon was in the shape of arge fireball, rolling towards Aldred at high speed.


    Aldredughed. “I like this guy. I have to make you my undead for sure.”


    Aldred dashed forward and brought his spinningrge fireball forward to sh against the dragon.


    BOOM!


    The mes of their explosions expanded far and wide, but Aldred quickly absorbed them before they could reach Mary and the others.


    When the mespletely entered his hand, everyone was shocked to see the dragon’s head under the boy’s feet.


    But what they were more shocked to see was the long swords stabbed into its neck.


    The boyughed in a demonic way. “HAHAHA! You fool! You think I will only use my fire spells to defeat you?”


    Mary and Mareona looked at each other.


    “Since when did Aldred turn into this?”


    Mary smiled. “That’s where you’re wrong. He’s always been like this.”
