Chapter 50

Amidst the huge battlefield in one corner where the orc forces were abundant, Zuyuan and Tom stood back to back as they stared at the flying enemy in the sky.

The dragon-like humanoid gazed back at them, as he turned his head a bit backwards and breathed in deeply. Not a moment afterwards he roared at the direction of the duo and shot a giant sphere of flames at them.

Leaping to the side, Zuyuan avoided a huge fireball as big as an elephant that flew towards both of them. But contrary to what Zuyuan had done, Tom had jumped as high as he could and tried to take the fireball head on. 

"Well, isn't he a gusty one?" stated Zuyuan in a chuckle while he saw Tom's figure charge at the fireball and create a shockwave in the air. 

*BOOM!* 

"Gahaha! You need to do better than that against me, you cretin!" Shouted Tom while he was blown away from the impact. 

Not wanting to stand idle, Zuyuan moved towards the crowd of orcs and let loose in there. Zuyuan could see that Tom was faring well against the half human half dragon enemy. 

Using his speed, Zuyuan moved right into the gap of the orcs line and swept the surrounding orcs with his blade. Zuyuan extended his blade and in one swing, three orcs slashed into two as their guts splattered on the ground. 

The orcs started to become restless as they tried to use their comrades with spears as their weapon to pin down the enemy. But the range of the weapon wasn't something Zuyuan lacked at all when he could extend his sword. 

Shortly, his movements caught the attention of some of the slingshots groups while they were changing their target at Zuyuan. Throwing a barrage of rocks sitting speed that didn't lose to a cannon, Zuyuan used his superior speed and zigzagged to dodged each stone. 

In the sky, XB11 came for the rescue as it locked the laser on its gun towards the slingshots group and began to shoot. A battle of projectiles started, stones against bullets, and many against one. 

Believing that XB11 would be able to handle the slingshots orcs just fine, Zuyuan focused back his attention into the orcs warriors surrounding him and moved like a ghost again. Heads of orcs were rolling on the ground with each second that passed as Zuyuan was rapidly thinning down the orc forces. 

"Ooooo!" 

On another part of the battlefield, Tom bellowed while he had to endure the crushing might of the dragon-like missionary. The dragon-like missionary had used his gauntlet to press down Tom on the ground, but that simple gesture alone had pushed Tom so much that the earth under his feet cracked and crumbled. 

"You're a hard nut to crack, human knight." The dragon-like person spoke, pushing Tom further down into the ground.

"And you're a lizard!" Tom bellowed while grinning comically in his face.

"I'm a dragon, you dolt." The dragon-like person replied, a bit of irritation showing on his face.

"Aren't you like half though? So you are like he-it?" Tom asked, a bit confused.

"..." The dragon-like man had no answer for Tom's stupidity, and simply opened his maw and began charging another blast of flames.

"Oh, crap." Tom murmured to himself, as his gaze filled with light.  

However, before the dragon-like person could shoot out his attack, something flashed inside the corner of his vision at a fast speed. Materializing a magic gauntlet on his other hand, the dragon-like missionary blocked the incoming strike that was aimed at his neck. 

*Clang* 

"You are good." Commented Zuyuan with a smirk as he was face to face against his enemy. 

"F*ck off." Pushing away Zuyuan's sword, the dragon-like missionary was about to follow for an attack but he was too late as his belly had been struck with a strong force. 

*Bang* 

Blown away from the kick that Zuyuan had sent, the dragon-like person hit at the group of orcs behind him. Seeing that he had created some time to breathe, Zuyuan glanced at Tom and asked, "You are okay?" 

"Heh, this is hardly a challenge." Replied Tom confidently while he hit his chest with his right fist. 

Smiling, Zuyuan turned his eyes back to their enemies. Flying in the air, two trails of flames came out from both of the corners of the dragon-like missionary's eyes while he spoke coldly, "Try to deal with this." 

Two huge fireballs from before had formed in the dragon-like missionary hands. Shortly, he threw both fireballs at Zuyuan at Tom at the same time and followed with a sea of flames coming out of his mouth. 

"Not good." Said Zuyuan while he frowned his eyebrows. Moving his gaze in XB11's direction, Zuyuan contemplated if he should call XB11 to strike back the barrage of fire attacks with its laser beam. 

"Hahaha! Now I feel a little hot here! Not bad, lizard boy!" Laughed Tom while he pointed the tip of his great sword to the two fireballs, grinning maniacally, "Let's see. Which was the strongest, your flames against my strike. Gahahaha!" 

'This man is nuts.' Thought Zuyuan silently as he shook his head and said, "Let's get out of here now." 

"You go by yourself, sword boy. I have a sauna to attend to." Replied Tom while he dashed at the fireballs and jumped as fast as he could, as if afraid Zuyuan would chase him and steal the fireballs away. 

Smiling wryly, Zuyuan's thoughts passed by in flash as he watched Tom dash like a madman, 'But you are using a sword too.' Then, Zuyuan turned his body on the next moment and used his ultimate speed to escape the fireball's radius. 

*BOOOMM!* *BOOOMM!!* *WHIRL* 

As if fireworks had bloomed in the sky, the color of orange and red mixing had erupted in the air along with another crimson energy from the certain missionary that was donned in silver armor. 

"Is he dead?" Observing the situation a bit far away from his original position, Zuyuan returned again to deal with any orcs that were approaching him while he glanced occasionally at the explosion in the sky. 

After Zuyan beheaded the last orc that had charged at him, Zuyuan breathed heavily as he felt the Qigong in his body had depleted a lot. 

"Bahahaha! Let's play with daddy, lizard boy!" 

A certain shout sounded in the sky while a man wearing the supposed majestic silver armor now had his armor charred in certain parts, and the leather that had buckled in a certain area between his legs had almost become ashes and would let him show his unholy underwear to everyone present. 

Hearing that shout, the corner of Zuyuan's lips curled up while Zuyuan spoke lightly. 

"I guess he is a tough nut after all.".
