The Dark Mage widened both of his eyes at the same time. He did not expect that he would immediately receive such a big attack. Even though he had just flown and wanted to see the form of his real opponent.
The Dark Mage who had never been in a serious fight before was not ready. He had enough strength to defeat everyone he fought in the blink of an eye.
But now the opponent he was facing seemed to be a stronger opponent than the ones he had faced before. He could even defend against some of his attacks.
The Dark Mage stared at the fireball that was coming toward him very quickly. He immediately stretched out his hand towards the fireball.
A magic circle formed with rune symbols forming appeared in front of his body. The fireball hit the magic circle.
Sparks of energy are scattered in all directions. The air seemed to shake from the shockwaves that spread in all directions due to the impact.
The Dark Mage grimaced. The pressure he felt when the fireball came was immense.
What shocked him, even more, was when suddenly a crack was created in his defensive magic circle. No one had ever cracked that magic circle before.
Now the Dark Mage had to change his mindset. What he was facing before his eyes right now was not simply an enemy he had often faced before.
But a foreign entity whose power he did not understand. The magic circle finally shattered into pieces of black and green energy that spread out in all directions. After that, it disappeared with the air.
The fireball created from the orange and red flames shot towards the Dark Mage.

A rune inscription with another circle symbol appeared. The writing lit up and the circle symbol popped out of the book's pages. Turns into another magic circle that floats toward the fireball.
Then the fireball hit the new magic circle. And instantly lost its power, turning into a black ball like charcoal left by a bonfire.
The black ball fell over the forest making a thumping sound. The Dark Mage heaved a sigh of relief at having overcome the fireball.
But as soon as he looked forward again, the Dark Mage's eyes widened. Dragon-Erend was already rushing toward him and he had no time to dodge.
'BUAGH!'
Dragon-Erend's hand swept across the Dark Mage's body with full force. The Dark Mage slid down like a meteor and hit the forest.
The Dark Mage slid over the forest and knocked down several trees before finally stopping.
Dragon-Erend caught up with him by flying over the trail of damage he left behind. It didn't take long, he saw the Dark Mage trying to get back up.
The red and orange fireballs gathered in his mouth again. Then he immediately shot the fireball at the Dark Mage who wasn't ready.
'ZWOOOSHHH!!!'
Again, the Dark Mage saw the fireball hurtling towards him.
"Annoying lizards!" the Dark Mage snarled.
He pulled the circle from the floating book page again and threw it at the fireball.
The same thing happened. The fireball fired by the Dragon-Erend turned into a black ball of charcoal and fell just like that.
Dragon-Erend frowned. Or actually creating a gesture similar to frowning with all the features of his Dragon's face.
'He did it again. I have to get rid of that damn book first.' Erend thought.
He had also seen the Dark Mage do it to block his first attack. The book must contain some of the Dark Mage's most powerful Magic.
Erend thought it was very convenient. He can still think logically when he takes the form of a Dragon. Turns out he just lost control when he first turned into a Dragon.
The Dark Mage turned the pages of his book again until it stopped at a certain page. Then he drew a magic circle from within the pages of the book again.
The magic circle with the strange rune symbol enlarged to a diameter of five meters above the Dark Mage. Then from within the circle appeared dozens of chains that shot straight at Dragon-Erend.
The Dragon-Erend flew and swerved to dodge every chain that came his way. Even though he has a big body but it turns out that Dragon-Erend can move quickly in the air easily.
The chains continued to chase him. Dragon-Erend felt that he couldn't keep dodging so he decided to fight back. Dragon-Erend stopped in midair suddenly and then swept its claws at the chains.

'KRAAANG!'
...
The chains instantly split and shattered as the Dragon-Erend's claws hit them. The Dark Mage gritted his teeth hard seeing his attempt to attack failed.
The Dark Mage started flying so he could be at the same height as Dragon-Erend. Then he raised his dagger which had blades snaking like a serpent.
Sparks of green lightning appeared on his dagger blade. The Dark Mage aimed the dagger at Dragon-Erend. A flash of green and black lightning flashed towards the Dragon-Erend with an extremely loud booming sound.
Dragon-Erend couldn't dodge the lightning strike. So he just crossed his arms and wings in front of the body. Trying to provide the best protection for his body.
But the lightning strike was still quite strong. Dragon-Erend was pushed back several meters.
But he immediately opened his two wings and was still able to maintain his flying position in the air.
The lightning strike didn't have much of an impact on Dragon-Erend except for the tingling feeling on his skin.
Dragon-Erend smirked then shot towards the Dark Mage.
On the other hand, the Dark Mage seemed shocked by what he saw. He expect, with that attack, he could knock out the Dragon because it was one of his strongest attacks.
But it turned out that his expectation did not happen at all.
