GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?



Each crescent blade that he made is thin and almost invisible if not viewed from the proper angle. The only way to see them is to be situated in a position where you can see the flash of light reflected off of them. So it looks like he is not doing anything to some onlookers. Then he stopped all of a sudden and watched his work.

The first crescent blades of power were slow while the ones that came after them are faster. Each subsequent crescent was released at a faster speed than the previous ones. So they were bound to overtake the ones before them. He timed the interval of release and their speeds such that all of them overtook each other at the exact same spot and at the same time. They were effectively superimposed on each other at that point. It was then that they could be seen.contemporary romance

That exact point and time is when the flames of the dragon that poured out of its mouth like a flood from a broken dam hit the crescent blades. A white arc of energy suddenly appeared in the path of the torrent of flames and smashed into it. All the hundreds of attacks that he made defended against the dragon fire as one. Individually, they are weak. Together, they are still weaker than the dragon fire. So they exploded. Their combined explosion pushed the flames aside and created a window of opportunity for Soverick.

He straightened his spear after creating the crescent blades. His will flared through the spear and tore world power towards it. The world howled because of his actions. The howling is from the furious movement of a tempest that suddenly sprang into existence when he pulled world power into his spear. His spear also roared as its resistance was swiftly overcome and world power was made to overwhelm it. The world power he pulled was made to mix with his divine sense and create thousands of mind spears. 

The spear became heavier in his hands as its mass increased with the consumption of world power to create more and more black phantom spears appeared. It felt like he is carrying thousands of spears at the same time. Momentum wouldn't do that. The increase in mass is because of world power. World power carries a weight and a force with it that must be handled in order to control it. The phantom spears stopped increasing when he reached the limit of world power that he can control.

Then he pulled the spear back. His hand shook with that simple act. He felt a resistance that is far more than the force he has to overcome to move something as heavy as the spear. The strain he felt pushed him to the limit but he held on so that all the phantom spears can become one. 

The thousands of phantom Spears fused and became one. This is true fusion not hastily set up superimposition. He thrust his spear forward after the fusion and advanced through the opening in the flames. His previous attack created a small window of opportunity that he can use to take advantage of the dragon's attack. He intends to counterattack now. 

The strongest attack of a dragon is their innate dragon fire but using it makes them vulnerable. Their dragon scale is nearly indistinguishable from the rest of their chest but it becomes very obvious when the flames of dragon fire are being activated. They also can't easily stop when they start using dragon fire. All of these quirks make this moment the most vulnerable for the dragon.

It is not a secret either but people are usually tied up defending against the dragon flames to take advantage of this moment. Dragon fire is after all their strongest attack. Whoever is on the receiving end will have their hands preoccupied with staying alive. A good way to take advantage of this situation is to defend a little and go all out with attacking. That is what he set out to do.

The fused giant phantom of the black spear enveloped him as he shot forward through the flames. There was already a weak point created within the torrent of flames by the previous explosion so his eyes didn't need to search for long for an entry point. The tip of the phantom spear struck the torrent at that point and split it apart forcefully. Soverick rode the momentum of his thrust and advanced under the cover of the flames.

By his estimates, he should burst out just beneath the head of the red dragon and straight towards its chest. He has lined everything up for the kill. He saw everything and planned it well so he can't miss it. He just hopes that his attack is strong enough to breach the defense of the scale. 

The dragon's mouth was still open and its neck was still extended in attacking. It is just as he thought. But he was wrong. He burst out beneath the head of the dragon but he did not hit what he targeted. He didn't miss. He just hit something else on his way there. 

The dragon had sensed the massive activation of world power from Soverick. It didn't help that Soverick practically ripped world power from the world. He could have coerced world power slowly but he rushed the accumulation. It is enough indication that he is in a hurry and the volume of world power that Soverick ripped indicates that whatever Soverick is planning is dangerous. 

So the dragon roused world power too and pooled it onto its claws. The move was effortless and seamless. It didn't have to force world power to bend to its will like Soverick. It beaconed and the world answered. Then it pushed both of its claws forward in the general direction of the incoming threat.

Two large phantoms of claws flew away from the dragon's claws and clashed with Soverick. They can't be dodged. He has to face them head on or stop going forward.
