The Bajaragon squinted its eyes and belched powerful flames at them.
Aldred was shocked. The distance between them and the dragon was at least a few kilometers, and yet its flame breath reached them and burned the whole surface.
Aldred snorted and reached out his hand. "Fire Absorption."
All the flames entered his hand, revealing the scared adventurers.
The Bajaragon stared at the boy in anger and a slight shock. How could that boy looking so weak and frail absorbed his flames? It was the king of flames in this area, so this should be impossible.
Aldred smiled and beckoned at the creature.
Feeling challenged, the Bajaragon dove down. Flame jets shot out from both wings and back. Suddenly, the wavy hard scales that looked like a crown on top of its head sparked and shining red orbs materialized around the dragon.
The Bajaragon opened its jaw and belched a concentrated fire jet at the boy. The red orbs glowed brighter and shot blazing lasers at him as well.
Aldred smiled. "This is interesting. Since you look like a fire dragon, I will fight you with fire as well."
Aldred opened a wide stance and raised both of his hands. The flames that came towards him were absorbed, and the blazing lasers were bent, narrowly missing him by an inch.
He then summoned his stick and transformed it into 'Blazing Serpent'. His veins glowed in red as he thrust his staff into the sky. "Fire Elemental. All Burst!"
Suddenly, all of his fire spells; flame jet, bullets, arrows, balls, javelin, fist, and combustion activated. They continuously came from the staff and shot at the dragon.
The dragon dodged the arrow and the javelin, but the storm of arrows struck it clean. At first, the pain wasn't that bad, but the bullets were too much.
Aldred smiled. With his new mastery and the spell fire bullets at level four, his firing speed was comparable to that of a machine gun. More than 1,500 rounds per minute.
Such an astronomical amount was only possible with a huge mana capacity.
Aldred did not need capacity. His mana was endless.
Fire fist shot towards the dragon-like a large meteor. The longer the distance the larger the flame fist became, and now its size was more than the dragon itself.
It was terribly battered, but the Bajaragon wasn't planning to sit still. It raised its claws about to grab onto Aldred.
Aldred had seen its movement long before with his godly eyes, so he dodged the claw easily. The dragon came slamming, shaking the ground with its weight and power.
It stared at Aldred and roared.
Aldred returned a defiant roar. Both man and dragon fought in close range with raging flames around them.
The orbs moved around, sending lasers and flame breath at Aldred. The boy absorbed them all and returned the flames to the dragon.
Raising its claws, the dragon angrily swiped at Aldred. The boy did not back down and swung his fist at the claws.
The clash between large claws and a small fist created a powerful shock wave that made both parties take a few steps back.
The dragon was shocked. The boy was just a small creature. How could it make the king of flames to take a few steps back?
Not only the dragons, but the adventurers were also even more shocked that the boy could fight a dragon physically.
"Aldred! We will help you!" Bartrem shouted.
"No! Let me defeat the dragon alone!" Aldred shouted with an excited smile. The excitement of battle entered his body, and he wanted to fight the creature alone.
He pointed at the dragon. "Oy! You want to see who's better at controlling flames?"
The Bajaragon only slightly understood what the boy said, but it did hear the word 'flames'. It took a deep breath and its whole body was suddenly combusted with white flames that burn bright.
The adventurers even had to squint their eyes from the glaring light.
"Haha! Good good. That's what I am talking about." Aldred combusted himself with white flames as well. His high mastery of the fire elements let him do a lot of things without learning the specific spells, though the damage wasn't high.
The Bajaragon charged forward. Aldred as well, sending countless fire bullets at the dragon's face.
The dragon slammed the ground and willed for one of the orbs to attack. The orb came at his face and shone in bright light.
"Humph! You wanted to explode me? Not in front of me!" Aldred absorbed the explosion before it could expand.
He then threw a large fire javelin; 5 meters long. It struck the dragon's scaled belly. The javelin only penetrated a couple of inches through the scales.
"So that's how we're going to play." Aldred raised his palm and summoned his fireball. He willed it to become bigger.
Aldred smiled. "I am not done yet. Spin."
The fireball spun, creating a hot wind around it.
The Bajaragon stared and snorted small flames from its nostril. It then leaped forward before rolling towards Aldred. Its body burst into larger flames with the orbs helping the flames become bigger and hotter.
The Bajaragon was in the shape of a large fireball, rolling towards Aldred at high speed.
Aldred laughed. "I like this guy. I have to make you my undead for sure."
Aldred dashed forward and brought his spinning large fireball forward to clash against the dragon.
BOOM!
The flames of their explosions expanded far and wide, but Aldred quickly absorbed them before they could reach Mary and the others.
When the flames completely entered his hand, everyone was shocked to see the dragon's head under the boy's feet.
But what they were more shocked to see was the long swords stabbed into its neck.
The boy laughed in a demonic way. "HAHAHA! You fool! You think I will only use my fire spells to defeat you?"
Mary and Mareona looked at each other.
"Since when did Aldred turn into this?"
Mary smiled. "That's where you're wrong. He's always been like this."
