With an explosion of air around me the blade cut through both the air and the drake like butter as it sliced downwards with all my might.

But there was more as the blade move so fast the air seemed to explode outwards as a new 10 foot long and 3 foot deep gouge in the wall had appeared.

I was astonished the strike was that powerful but I focused on cutting this drakes fucking leg off.

While the damage was massive the blade of the sword stopped right in the elbow joint of the drake as I failed to cut right through its legs.

I inwardly cursed however I wasn't done as I pulled it out of the bloody mess in front of me. By the way let's just say drakes have a lot of veins going through their small arm wings and they gush blood if hit. I looked like Mario I was so red in blood.

But as I ripped the blade out of his now almost cut in half foreleg I instantly selected the first active strength skill I had gotten to possibly choose.

But [Rend] was the one I chose as I dropped my blade onto the ground and gripped both bloody ends of his elbow that my blade had only managed to cut a little bit into.

But as the skill activated I felt a massive amount of strength go to my arms as I let out a roar and began to…well rend his leg from his body.

After a second nothing happened but then I heard tearing noises as the Drake who was still stuck was roaring out in pain as the wall cracked more and more as he struggled to free himself.

Though his body was moving viscously and his tail was going haywire I was somehow not being hit as I slowly ripped his right foreleg off his body from the elbow down.

With more sickening pops and twists half the leg was finally ripped off the drake's body as blood spurted everywhere from the wound.

After I ripped off the drake's arm I felt pretty good about myself. However that feeling was short lived as he finally broke free.

As he did he was not happy in the least as I didn't have time to dodge his massive claw. As his remaining claw stuck me I felt several ribs crack and my leather armor was shredded to rags.

As I landed my blood rags were stuck with dirt but I didn't care as I coughed out a large amount of blood.

I could feel that I had broken several ribs maybe even more than five as I coughed out another mouthful of blood.

My vision growing hazy as my mind felt like it was hit against a metal wall. Combined with the pain of what felt a billion needles inside my skin, which didn't feel so great together.

But as my consciousness waned I slowly looked up from my kneeling position to see the earth drake standing but 30 feet in front of me.

Its eyes red with rage as it stump leg was bleeding profusely as the crowd roared in excitement.

"Well fuck." I said as I watched the drake's throat begin to glow red hot as steam began come out from his mouth.

I wasn't stupid enough to not know that this was his fire breath, he was getting ready to roast me alive.

As I looked around me I noticed my sword was now behind the drake and it didn't seem like I was in condition to eve move properly.

"Looks like this is the end of our young champion." Said Gabe as the crowd roared as the drake was now beginning to let out small puffs of fire from his mouth.

Just then he finally opened his mouth as an intense heat began to come out and swell around me. It made the blood covering my skin smell much more foul than it should.

"Haha." I could only laugh lightly as the flames coming from the drake's mouth slowly began to pour out of it.

'If only I had more power, I leveled up so much yet I am still going to die. I guess Gabe was right I am pitiful.' I thought to myself as I silently looked at the wall of fire quickly heading my way.

'Perseus…' Said Gaia in whisper as I heard her tone, it sounded…sad.

'But I guess I can go out in a flash.' I said as I forced myself to stand up as my left arm dangled freely as blood dripped down it.

My body groaning as I managed to stand up, my chest full of cuts as more blood formed a river down my chest. As I stood their silently I could only watch the wall of flames until they were 5 feet in front of me.

"Mana pool destinati-." But before I could speak those words a voice suddenly erupted in my head.
