Chapter ?108 The Gift
Chapter ?108 The Gift
Clouds of thick dust drifted in the air around a large crater in the ground with flames blazing out of it. Suddenly the thick clouds of dust whirled, revealing a pair of large reptilian eyes.
The huge black body of a dragon, with a faint orange glow of magma passing through the smoke, climbed out of the crater. A dimly glowing line of blood dragged on the ground behind him.
A deep slash on his chest was bleeding, his dragon blood pouring out and dirtying the ground. A magma slowly poured around it, enclosing the injury in a layer of hard stone.
A blue light ignited inside of the crater, and all of the dust and smoke moved away as if pushed back by an invisible force. The old man climbed out of the hole, his whole skin blackened from burns, with droplets of molten metal dripping down from his mechanical limbs. He moved slowly, limping on his left leg.
'Such large injuries from one collision, that feels too easy for the final boss of this dungeon.'
Starting to doubt the cyborgs' identity as the boss, Vesuvius used his analysis.

Suddenly black dust started to fall from the knight, his burned skin turning into sand, slowly revealing a pale asking under it. Immediately after that, all of the metallic prosthetics started to repair themselves, damaged and molten metal moving by itself, returning to its original state.
Vesuvius looked at it, his interest rising over the roof, quickly turning into greed and excitement, 'This is it! I was looking for a creature with strong regenerative powers for material, and now one is right in front of me. That is exactly what I need.'
'Thank you, the almighty dragon god!'
He wasn't sure if it was really his prayers coming true, but he still felt like it was too big of a coincidence, 'This weird miscalculation of the system and my prayer... is it really possible that the dragon god pulled some strings for me. It wouldn't be so weird as it is in their interest for me to succeed in restoring the glory of the dragons.'
Vesuvius was excited, his eyes glowing in faint light as he looked at the boss in front of him as if he was looking at a large walking meal.
'I can't let the gift of the god be wasted! I will turn him into my power!' his reptilian eyes glittered, looking straight at the knight like a hungry beast on prey.
He opened his mouth, orange light flickering inside as he unleashed a stream of bright glowing orange-yellow magma with a slight golden tint.
The man rose up his regenerating prosthetic hand towards the incoming stream of magma. The incoming orange inferno reflected in its shiny metal surface. As if an invisible wall formed out of his hands, the magma hit the invisible barrier, splashing and splitting before even reaching its target.
Suddenly the disfigured man with red glowing augmentations all around his scared body landed from the sky, dirt exploding around him and forming a small crater. He rushed towards the blue cyborg, tackling him from the side while swinging his two glowing blades. The blue and red blades collided against each other at a fast pace, sending heatwaves and sparks in all directions.
'This damn thief! Wanting to steal my prey!'
Vesuvius wanted to rush and join the fight, but dozens of blue eyes focused on him, unleashing a barrage of glowing plasma. Dozens of blue lights trailed through the clouds of dust, blasting toward the dragon with deadly precision.
The rage flared up in the dragon from the annoyance of something stopping him from harvesting the materials that he needed.
"Graaah!" The dragon's roar shook the ground, droplets of bright blazing hot magma flying out his mouth.
Tendrils of bright blue and golden lightning started to circle around his horns. Sparking and glowing, accompanied by sounds of crackling electricity.
The plasma projectiles impacted all over his body, exploding in small blue explosions, melting the black stone. Trickles of dark orange liquid flowed down his body, forming a small puddle on the ground under him.
Vesuvius ignored all of it. His rage and mana focused on his horns. Immediately a blinding golden-blue arc struck across the battlefield, branching into multiple smaller arcs, striking the mechs. Their metallic bodies melted, and their glowing eyes extinguished as the electricity surged through them.

The dragon flapped his wings, creating whirls in the dust clouds around him as he soared into the black sky.
His eyes fell on the battle between the two bosses. The two cyborgs were swinging their blades as if they were blenders, their blades colliding multiple times per second. Loud bangs were spreading through the plains, uprooting the grass and evaporating bodies of killed mechs.
'They are too close to each other I need a precise attack.'
A circle formed in the dragon's mouth, magma pouring out of his throat and forming a rotating sphere of magma. The sphere quickly grew and moved forwards, passing through a square consisting of magical symbols and changing into a small spike of magma.
Vesuvius kept flapping his wings, his eyes focused on the battlefield under him, the spike levitating inside of his mouth as he waited for the right opportunity.
The red-eyed cyborg swung one of his blades, a red wave erupting out and sending the blue-eyed man flying backwards, creating a crevice in the ground as he fell back down, his body digging into the ground.
The small spike of magma flew out, blasting through the sky at stupendous speed, air roaring around it as its sharp tip pierced through the air.
The blue-eyed man turned his head in reflex, his human eye widening in panic, noticing a glimpse of orange light. The spike hit his temple, the man's head exploding into red burned paste.
The man's body remained standing there as if frozen in time.
