Reborn as a DRAGON

Chapter 300: Nature’s wrath

With a powerful stroke of my colossal wings, I propelled myself through the water, drawing closer to the spot where the malevolent presence had dissipated. Waves cascaded around me, mirroring the tumultuous emotions that surged within my mighty heart. Relief mingled with an unsettling unease, for I could not shake the lingering doubthad I truly vanquished the threat, or had it merely taken on a new guise?

As I reached the area where the abomination had once stood, the water elements surged back into place, restoring a semblance of tranquility to the ocean's depths. The churning currents gradually subsided, their fervor quelled by the absence of the dark entity that had plunged them into chaos. I observed the undulating surface, searching for any sign of the malevolence that had plagued this place.

But it was the distant horizon that caught my attention, the expanse where the upper body of the retreating bastard had made its escape. In an audacious display of opportunism, he had seized the moment, propelling himself from the watery realm and ascending into the boundless sky. His cowardly flight made me snort coldly.

A surge of determination coursed through my body, igniting the flames of resolve within me. I would not allow the pest to escape so easily. With a deep inhalation, I unleashed a resounding roar, the reverberating sound echoing through the vast Ocean. It was a challenge, a declaration that I, Aether, would follow and pursue him until the ends of this plane and beyond.

I propelled myself from the water's surface, my massive wings casting a shimmering spray as they broke free of the aquatic realm. Ascending into the sky, I embarked on a pursuit that defied the constraints of mortal boundaries. The wind rushed past me, carrying the lingering echoes of the abomination's departure, as I soared higher, ever closer to the elusive figure that dared to elude my grasp.

With unwavering focus, my keen eyes locked onto the retreating form, tracing its flight path through the sky, that stretched before me, in an endless tapestry of cerulean blue, punctuated by swirling clouds.

The chase had begun, a high-stakes game of predator and prey. I surged forward, my large wings propelling me through the air with astonishing speed. The wind elements seemed to bow before my might. The celestial bodies from which the cosmic mana seemed to originate bore witness to the clash that loomed on the horizon. I could feel some sort of gaze on me, but I had no time to think about it. My mind was preoccupied with the prey before me.

With every beat of my wings, I closed the distance between us, my determination resolute and unyielding. As the wind whistled through my scales and the vast expanse of the sky stretched before me, a sense of exhilaration surged within my being.

As the distance between us rapidly diminished, I summoned the primordial essence of ice, channeling its power through my colossal form. With a surge of energy, several massive spears of ice materialized before me, poised to intercept the fleeing Shade. With a swift motion, I propelled them toward the evasive figure, their icy tips honed for precision.

To my dismay, the bastard's hide proved impenetrable, his darkened flesh acting as an impregnable barrier against my icy assault. The spears rebounded harmlessly off his formidable armor, shattering upon impact. Yet, even as my initial attack failed to deliver the desired blow, it succeeded in its secondary purposeto hinder the Shade's escape.

Seizing the opportune moment, I extended my massive front claw, swiping with calculated precision. The force of my strike reverberated through the air, causing the retreating figure to falter mid-flight. Desperately attempting to regain his balance, the Shade struggled against the invisible currents of fate that had conspired against him.

With swift and decisive action, I took advantage of the situation. A second ice spear hurtled through the air, unleashed from the side with unyielding determination. Its trajectory was true, piercing through the air with deadly accuracy. The projectile collided with the Shade's form, eliciting a pained cry as it found its mark.

But I was not yet finished. I descended upon the wounded figure, my gargantuan form descending like an avenging tempest. The force of our collision shook the very fabric of reality, our bodies locked in a fierce struggle as we hurtled toward the unforgiving embrace of the ocean below.

In the ensuing chaos, the mighty waters erupted, embracing our cataclysmic descent. The ocean, a witness to our tumultuous clash, became a theater of violent currents and crashing waves. The impact sent a shockwave through the surrounding area, a resounding echo of the power contained within our clash.

As the churning depths enveloped us, I maintained my grip on the Shade's twisted form, refusing to relinquish my hold. Water elements surged and roiled around us, as if vying to extinguish the last vestiges of the malevolence that had plagued this world. In the depths of the abyss, the battle continued, our struggle an intricate dance of dominance and survival.

With each passing moment, my resolve grew stronger, my determination unwavering. The ocean and water elements, my eternal allies, surged forth with unyielding force, lending their power to my cause. With renewed energy, I exerted every ounce of my strength, my claws digging deep into the Shade's flesh.

Together, we plummeted through the watery depths, our descent a testament to the intensity of our struggle. In the depths of the ocean, the weight of the world bore down upon us. I was still okay, for here was my home, here was where I felt the most comfort. The Shade, however, was in trouble.

As the crashing weight of the water world surrounded us, a sense of grim satisfaction welled within me. The bastard had been brought low, his escape foiled, and the ocean had become our arena of reckoning.

It became apparent that the Shade's presumed immunity to elemental forces could not withstand the relentless might of the ocean. The power inherent in the surging waters surged through me, invigorating my every movement as I methodically tore at his waning form. Piece by piece, his once formidable body crumbled under our combined assault, a testament to the unyielding fury that mirrored my own.

The water elements, sensing my rage and determination, converged around us, their liquid forms imbued with a shared purpose. Like an ethereal army, they surged forth, echoing my every action, their aqueous tendrils intertwining with my claws, amplifying the force of my every strike.

Together, we became a tempest of destruction, the embodiment of nature's wrath. The Shade, once a figure of malevolent power, now found himself ensnared in the embrace of the depths. His attempts to resist were futile, his defenses

crumbling like sand beneath a mighty wave. With each rending tear and shattering blow, the Shade's life force dwindled, his essence fading into oblivion. The water elements, imbued with the echoes of my rage, mirrored my relentless assault, never relenting in their pursuit of his demise.

Slowly, but surely, the life force of the bastard waned, his power dissipating like a whisper in the wind. The once formidable adversary now lay broken, defeated, and reduced to a mere semblance of his former self. The ocean, having exacted its retribution, embraced the remnants of the Shade's presence, consuming it with a voracious hunger and vengeance.
