Chapter 1236 - Dragon Hunter (5)
🕑 Added 2025-10-23 11:17:00 +0000 UTCAs Jake stood under the oppressive aura of the True Dragon’s mana, he could only admit that their moniker as the strongest magical race was truly well-earned. The absolute display of might as all the orbs honed in on him made Jake’s danger sense explode, making him instantly realize that now was the time to be defensive.
All at once, the orbs of light released beams that carried the same concept as those prior, meaning that individually they were almost harmless – at least they couldn’t break through his scales – but should he get hit by several on the same spot, their effects would stack, leaning to ever-increasing damage.
Dodging them all wasn’t a possibility, so Jake had to think fast and adapt to avoid taking lethal damage. Should he get hit by several dozen at once, he feared it would be game over, so he focused with all his might.
The already activated Pride of the Malefic Viper helped Jake summon mana bolts and barriers as he dodged to the side, wanting his movements to be as unpredictable as possible. All the beams curved and followed him, and, to his horror, he realized they were speeding up the longer they were in flight.
Jake’s only saving grace was that Yrelstromoz had to focus on controlling the beams and couldn’t attack in other ways while using this magic.
Soon, the first beams arrived and were met by a barrage of exploding arcane bolts and barriers that they had to get through before reaching Jake. He managed to destroy a few, but there were just too many, and soon they were upon him.
Using his katars, he deflected some while purposefully getting hit by others when he could ensure it wouldn’t be more than three striking within a short interval. Yrelstromoz’s skill had a grace period where it still counted as if several struck at once, even if there was a slight delay, upping the danger, as Jake also had to find out exactly how long this grace period was.
Thousands of beams came at him a second, Jake managing to avoid or destroy the vast majority, but eventually some got through. He was struck by six at once on his foot when he was too slow to move it out of the way, his boots saving his body from being destroyed, but the energy behind the blow still leaked through, causing significant damage.
Less than half a second later, seven grazed his shoulder at too close an interval, leaving him with a nasty burn and destroyed armor. This kept happening until the beams finally fizzled out after Jake had been perilously running and defending for half a minute. It seemed like a short time, but given the speed of the fight and the danger involved, it sure hadn’t felt brief.
Throughout this experience that Jake could only liken to a bullet hell, Jake had also burned through a great deal of mana, having summoned several thousand arcane freeform spells to try to lessen the damage. He had succeeded in doing so somewhat, though it hadn’t exactly turned out as he'd hoped.
Even so, once the beams subsided, Jake quickly took the opportunity to pull out his bow and try to hasten Yrelstromoz’s death. He shot several arrows while also focusing some mental energy on healing his injured body in all the places that mattered.
He’d been burned in roughly thirty different places, the worst one on his left thigh, where thirteen beams had struck, searing off a good amount of flesh, enough to make his femur slightly visible. It hurt like hell, but it didn’t impact Jake’s movements at all, and overall, he doubted there were any other C-grades alive that could have dealt as well with the barrage of beams as he did… except for people who were damn cheats like Eron, but Jake didn’t count those. The point was, due to limiting the damage he’d taken, Jake even got off several good arrows while Yrelstromoz was still not ready to divert her energy to defend.
She was struck by three arrows before she could disengage from the orb attack. As one, the sea of orbs in the sky dimmed as Yrelstromoz dodged to the side while summoning a barrier to avoid the other incoming arrows.
Before she even landed, her magic moved once more. All the dimming orbs in the sky flashed for a moment before merging into a single, intense orb. Jake watched it carefully while shooting more arrows, ready for it to attack.
However, just as he’d expected the orb to do something, Yrelstromoz took him by surprise. Right as she landed after jumping away, her wings flashed as she flapped them once, appearing right in front of him in the very next moment, already mid-swing with her right claw.
Jake’s eyes opened wide as he hadn’t seen her do that. With an arrow already nocked, he was in an awkward position as the glowing claw came for him, forcing him to dispel the arrow and use his bow to block the blow. The sharp claws struck the bow’s body, sending tremors through Jake’s arms and body as he grit his teeth and forced down a mouthful of blood.
Yrelstromoz instantly pushed her advantage, giving chase once more as her claws descended yet again. This time, Jake could switch to his katars in time and managed to block the blow far better, even finding space to entirely dodge the third swipe and land a quick jab in return.
He expected a third claw attack, but instead her entire head came down on him, her jaws trying to bite him in two. Jake was surprised by the speed and dodged quickly to the side, aiming to swiftly take advantage of Yrelstromoz putting her head in an exposed position.
Right as he stabbed forward, his katar only a few centimeters from her eye, she used Draconic Language once more.
“Repel.”
Jake felt an invisible force push him away from her, but at the same time, he also felt the extreme drain on her mana, making it clear that using Words of Power directly on him took a lot more than manipulating the environment. It was probably still better than getting stabbed in the eye, but Jake still believed the exchange was to his advantage.
For a moment, anyway.
He hadn’t even stopped flying back as he realized he had been pushed directly towards the giant orb of light that immediately revealed its purpose. Rather than doing anything fancy, it was just a collection of mana from the orbs that Yrelstromoz repurposed to do the simplest of things:
Self-destruct
Jake was blinded due to looking at it as the orb exploded, sending out a massive shockwave that burned everything in its wake. It came from directly behind him, but just as he was about to prepare a response, the dragon was upon him yet again, forcing him to whip his head around and block her incoming blow.
Using his wings, Jake covered his back as he was attacked from both directions at once. The explosion struck him from behind at the same time as he was forced to block the first claw swipe.
His wings were burned to cinders from the explosion of light, singeing his back after they were gone, as he couldn’t dedicate more to defending from the explosion, his focus wholly dedicated to handling the recklessly attacking dragon. Without the passive shield of Arcane Awakening and his scales, the situation would have been far worse, but as is, it wasn’t great.
However, despite the overwhelming pressure, Jake’s instincts took over, guiding his movements with precision as he matched the dragon’s relentless offense. The air was thick with mana from the explosion, distorting the space around them and making every exchange tougher. He gritted his teeth, refusing to yield as he searched for any opening in Yrelstromoz’s constant assault, determined to turn the tide in his favor.
Jake’s superior experience in combat came into play again as Jake slowly gained an advantage, pushing back Yrelstromoz slightly and landing several solid stabs before she was forced to retreat. His entire backside was seared to a crisp, but Jake didn’t pay it any mind as new scales regrew to protect the exposed flesh.
It was only now, during a brief lull, that Jake realized Yrelstromoz wasn’t exactly looking in peak condition either. She hadn’t held back using her magic, and it showed as the Dragonsbane Poison had gone on an absolute rampage, tearing through her body and soul. The shine on her scales had slightly dimmed, and he could see that some of the wounds he’d left recently weren’t getting healed as fast, if at all.
She had redirected most of the energy she spent on defense and healing to tearing Jake apart — an approach Jake could respect and acknowledge as likely her best course of action if she planned on winning.
Swapping to his bow once more, Jake used One Step just as Yrelstromoz launched a few quick beams of light as she no doubt prepared a larger spell on the backend. Jake returned fire, and for the next little while, the two entered a pure ranged battle where arrows and spells were shot back and forth.
Yrelstromoz mostly used beams, but she proved herself capable of many other forms of magic, even some outside of the light affinity. Jake was taken by surprise a few times when she manipulated the wind to form blades or made hyper-condensed spikes of earth shoot up from below. He did take note that she wasn’t ever summoning anything new, but merely making use of the existing environment to power her spells. An efficient and effective approach.
Needless to say, Jake was severely outmatched when it came to magic. He tried to fight back, releasing arcane bolts and orbs of his own to nullify some of her spells, but he often had to use several bolts to destroy even hastily strung together attacks from the dragon.
During this constant exchange, both of them took plenty of wounds as neither was capable of blocking or avoiding everything. Jake definitely landed more arrows than he was struck himself, but he was still left with a nasty hole in his stomach and had a deep gash in his forearm that even cracked the bone beneath after he had been forced to block a wind blade that proved far stronger than he’d first anticipated.
In turn, Yrelstromoz had several dozen small holes left by arrows and katars covering her body, many of them showing signs of decay as the Dragonsbane Poison infected every fiber of her being. Her constant use of spells only reduced her health pool further, but the vitality of a dragon was truly praiseworthy, once more proving why they were regarded as one of the most powerful races in the multiverse.
Second to humans, of course. Well, maybe only this particular bow-wielding human.
Seeing as time was on his side, with Yrelstromoz burning through resources faster than he was, this exchange favored Jake, but they both knew she was cooking up something big on the backend. Soon after the two landed yet another set of attacks on one another, she was ready to unveil what she’d prepared.
After creating some distance with an explosion of physical light, Yrelstromoz unfolded her wings once more and took to the skies. She released a roar as her entire body started glowing with an intense light... before splitting in two. These two golden dragons split once more, creating four, before it happened one more time until eight dragons of pure light floated in the sky, each flap of their wings releasing blinding flashes.
For a moment, Jake thought she was trying to hide herself, but the true body of Yrelstromoz was immediately revealed as the glow on her body faded away. She was still surrounded by seven other dragons of pure white light that all flapped their wings in perfect sync.
Jake remained confused about what the purpose of this skill was until all seven dragons suddenly moved at once, barreling down toward him. He reacted by retreating away as the first dragon reached him, watching as its claw swept into the ground... only to phase right through.
A second dragon was already upon Jake, flying straight down at where he was. Using One Step, Jake got out of the way, also dodging the third and fourth dragons in a similar manner, but he was too slow with the fifth one.
He’d nearly gotten out of the way when it flew past him, its wing phasing right through Jake’s body as it did so. However, while the ground had remained unmarked by the dragon’s passing, the same couldn’t be said about Jake.
As the dragon passed through Jake, he felt a scorching sensation going through his body, and despite it leaving no exterior marks, Jake felt himself take damage.
Some kind of soul magic?
He wasn’t sure what he was dealing with, but he knew that these weird summoned dragons weren’t something he wanted to tackle for too long. Once more, he was at least a little lucky that Yrelstromoz couldn’t attack with her own body while controlling the light dragons, at least giving Jake a chance to fight back.
After being struck by the fifth dragon, Jake barely avoided the sixth and seventh, but by the time he’d done so, the first two were back, approaching for a combo attack. To dodge out of the way, Jake released a blast of destructive arcane energy, also hitting one of the dragons in the process, to see if it had any effect.
When his destructive arcane mana struck the light dragon, he saw the two energies mix as a part of the dragon was destroyed, though it instantly mended itself barely half a second later.
Its energy dropped slightly, Jake thought, considering whether he could destroy the dragons if he unleashed enough arcane magic to do so.
Jake didn’t have much time to think, though, as a dragon flew up from directly below, having phased through the ground to keep itself hidden. He once more barely got away, but three more dragons circled him, diving in for the attack whenever another one had passed.
As the two dragons flew by one another, he noticed something else. For a moment, it looked as if small rays of light formed between their two bodies, making Jake conclude that the reason Yrelstromoz didn’t just attack with all seven at once was that the dragons couldn’t get too close to one another for too long.
Something Jake immediately took advantage of as he used this discovery to more easily avoid getting hit. At the same time, he focused on destroying one of the dragons by shooting arcane bolts and loosing arrows at it whenever possible, making some progress.
Jake also tried to shoot the real Yrelstromoz a few times, but three of the dragons retreated and focused only on protecting her, allowing the True Dragon to focus on making the other four burn Jake inside and out.
Her control wasn’t what Jake would call immaculate, allowing Jake to destroy the first dragon in only half a minute or so. This lessened the pressure a little, but not by much, as Jake had mostly been relying on the dragons being unable to get near one another.
He had a few close calls here and there, but overall, this light dragon summoning skill proved more mysterious than dangerous. When two more dragons were destroyed within another minute, the pressure was nearly entirely gone, and with all but one focused on attacking and not defending Yrelstromoz, Jake managed to get in several potshots on the real thing.
Some got through, and with her focus split, Yrelstromoz couldn’t summon any barriers to defend herself but just had to take them. When only three light dragons remained, the True Dragon seemed to realize this wasn’t working as she threw one last Hail Mary.
All three surviving light dragons flew towards him at once, no longer caring about destroying one another as they did so. In fact, Jake realized his assumption had been slightly off, as while two of the dragons were indeed destroyed, the last one absorbed them as it grew massively in size.
This change took Jake entirely by surprise, and even after using One Step, he found himself struck as the dragon had also gotten way faster, burning away the rest of its energy to speed up. It flew straight up and through him, passing with its entire body as Jake grit his teeth.
Searing pain burned through his being, but Jake quickly responded by flooding his own body with stable arcane mana to counteract the effect. It was still painful to say the least, but Jake endured as the light dragon fully passed through him before it started fading away.
Having been hit by this final attack, Jake wondered why Yrelstromoz hadn’t made more of them merge earlier… and that’s when he realized.
It was a distraction.
He had assumed Yrelstromoz had struggled to control the dragons and wanted to use them to take down Jake. It was clearly a misunderstanding on his part. Yrelstromoz hadn’t spent all her mental energy on the dragons, but only summoned them to buy time for her real attack, which was also why she hadn’t combined them before she was ready to unleash her real magic.
Right as this realization hit, he felt it. Yrelstromoz’s body was flooded with power as a shockwave of light passed him, leaving trails of crackling light sparks in its wake. The entire atmosphere shifted, and from below, he felt an intense aura of magic making him look down, only to see an utterly gigantic magic circle that seemed to span for well over a thousand kilometers in every direction.
Simultaneously, an identical magic circle filled the sky, giving off an equally intense aura.
Jake looked at Yrelstromoz, already in a defensive stance as he laid eyes on her. This display of magic had clearly taken a lot out of her, and despite her scales, Jake could see black veins spreading throughout her body. However, he was far more focused on her head as Yrelstromoz took a deep breath… giving Jake a very good idea of what was about to happen next.

chapter 1138 Event Horizon
Devillelouch
You are not alone on this chapter just feeling off. Simply put the fight is trying to be made epic which just doesn't fit a minor antagonist. The Yip vs Viper fight is an example of a tight focused fight or Jake vs Snappy(for lower grade). While this chapter and part of last chapter are throwing cool fight ideas that don't fit the situation. If you were to remove the parts where the story says "Yrel is a terrible true dragon", you would think he is fighting a genius dragon with melee, soul, heal, magic, and tanking abilities. The best example IMO is: 1) Yrel was a stat check boss given too many unique mechanics. Snappy was a good stat check boss, while the Hive King is generally disliked.

I was just wondering. Has to have been at least 10 i would guess

I'm hoping we get a mention about his Bow being happy or something along those lines, maybe a little inkling of its own instincts starting to form would be cool. It was the offer of hunting a dragon together that made it accept Jake after all.

At this rate, this fight is going to be 1 person pull out a trump card and another person counter it with another trump card. Base on how many skills each person has, it wont end anytime soon.

The records of the bloodline would transform the skill and become a part of its legacy, if someone else picked it as a legacy skill it would still work the user would already have some connection to Jake's legacy or it wouldn't be offered

My guess is that it’s just residual irked-ness from the Orange Man fight and fear of it happening again. The root, I think, is that combat suffers extra from being interrupted for a few days. I’m sure the Orange Man fight is just fine as a collection, but even I felt exhausted trying to stay engaged reading day by day. Note: I still think complaining about long fights is weird, especially when the fight got more interesting in the chapter the comments are on. It’s a Patreon-reader specific problem, not even a little the author’s fault.
Spencer Miller
Quick magic system thing that would be awesome if clarified: if a bloodline or Transcendance is used to transform a skill, is the skill reliant on the user having the bloodline? If not, is any functionality or efficiency lost? Is the Bloodline integrated into the skill, or was it just inspiration of a sort? In particular, I am wondering about if people with Jake’s Legacy would get a version of Moment of the Primal Hunter, and, if so, how it might differ, especially the triggering mechanism. Edit: also, good chapter. The fight feels more interesting than it did at the start, which makes narrative sense.
Anthony
I think he will invoke ... Touch? The one that lets poison he has delivered suddenly go wild at a moment of his choosing. He will try to distract her with that, but it won't affect what she has already cast. Dust/light settles, and then Jake busts out a major attack when she seems at her most bedraggled. She says fuck it to her pride as a dragon and tries to run, masking her getaway in the explosion of Jake's attack. Queue the Protean arrow and event horizon. All this in 2 chapters, fight done Monday, fallout on Tuesday. That said, i am thoroughly enjoying this, and if it goes another 5 chapters with Jake digging deep and Yrel demonstrating a modicum of regret, i wouldn't mind. Actually.... We are proly due for a predeath villain flashback.
Rahsheem Reid
Jake has a lot more tricks he can pull out his hat. Should be a really good finish with all the dragons bane, event horizon and his protean arrow.
Mohammed Sheekh
He's never been seen after Nevermore, everybody had a pov catch up except him, zogarth is cooking something
Jessy D
Frankly, that’s not impressive if you consider the tremors Jake sends through OUR hearts.
Corey S
I was thinking the same and wondering how that dragon in the ground could have hidden from him, or how he could have been blinded by the light, when even a Primordial can’t hide from him. They’re literally having to watch a few seconds delayed so he doesn’t know he’s being watched lol
AetherBoye
2 Eron mentions in a week? That's gotta be foreshadowing, we haven't really heard about him in a long time and now twice in a week

Thank you for the chapter
Takoda Heitz
While it could be the Daosect I don’t see it being Eron as how would he have mastered the concept of oblivion on top of everything else.
Takoda Heitz
I have a genuine question for all of you that keep complaining about wanting this fight to be short. If you don’t like long fights why are you even here? Like there has to be some other lit rpg that has one chapter fights for all of you who just want the next slop to fall on your plate. The rest of us actually enjoy each exchange because we get MORE PRIMAL HUNTING- you know the whole namesake of the series. Also newsflash if you think this fight is long then just wait until he’s a b-grade killing A-grades. The gaps are only going to get wider and the main build Jake is going for is OUT LASTING his stronger opponents. If you haven’t realized that what that results in is longer and longer fights then you haven’t been paying attention.
Takoda Heitz
When Jake fought elhakan it was like 12 chapters. This dragon is way stronger than he was. It’s gonna take a while.
fanfan8000
Random theory Eron is the one who set the Gods on Jake after reviving the corpses of a couple of them.
Hornbach
She is not that weak, there where dragons Villy removed from consideration because they would bot habe been challenging enought. She has slandered her B Grade potential but it was stated that she was quite talented in her youth.
tigerfishie
Tyftc!! I have a midterm today, wish me luck
Nathaniel France
After how long the fight with the orange fuck was part of me is expecting the fight to continue on, but I’m hoping next chapter is the final chapter, a nice tight fight. I can understand though why Villy gave him a bottom of the barrel true dragon though, because had she not utterly sandbagged the early fight and let Jake hit her with so much of the Bane poison , Jake would have definitely have been forced to flee.
Lemonsqueezy
Pretty sure he cannot consciously trigger Moment, it is an automatic response from his bloodline when he would die otherwise.
Alos
Better bank on a cliff to avoid disappointment.
Ender419
Great chapter! Looking forward to the conclusion in the next chapter then the aftermath of upgrades & updates + commentary from Villy & EverSmile. Also how would Artemis and the rest of multiverse react when they learn of this feat.
Rahsheem Reid
Na, not buying it. She is definitely not grieving in a healthy way if she is going around blowing up planets.

Thank you for the chapter

I personally don't know why chat is equating a long fight=boring fight, I'm having an amazing time reading this, jake is fighting someone that is capable of sending tremors throughout the planet

Nice, Jake getting some pushback! Great fight scene so far, thanks for the chapter
Keion
Soul flame haha but this chapter really pointed out magic as a weakness for Jake maybe I’m a simp but she’s fighting so damn hard she can’t be a magic teacher she lost her parents it’s just feels wrong u know she was just grieving
ABTelford
Awesome! Now the question is - will the battle end tomorrow or will we get a weekend cliffhanger?
Abhishek
How did Jake miss the giant magic circles with his bloodline sense? Anyway, he’s cooked from both sides. Jake will be able to trigger moment of hunter, use his protean arrow(cursed arrow) and charge it up to kingdom come. Shoot it at the dragon. Let the other beam from above hit him and vanish into the shadows. Lol

This fight really needs to wrap up holy moly it's been 5 full chapters already.

When did this dragonball z narration start? At the beginning of this fight sequence?

This chapter feels extremly weird. He is using his eyes for a lot of stuff his sphere normally covers and the tempo and description of combat also feels kind of jarring in comparison to the otjer chapters

Cory S.
ON TODAY’S EPISODE OF THE PRIMAL HUNTER! The battle rages on! Our hero, Jake, finds himself drenched in the terrifying aura of the Dragon, Yrelstromoz! Yrelstromoz unleashed a massive light beam attack, forcing Jake to think fast! Empowered by the Pride of his Patron, the Malefic Viper, he attempted a daring dodge but... it wasn't enough! Thousands of light beams rained down! Using a brilliant display of magic barriers and his trusty katars, Jake destroyed the majority, but several still managed to pierce his defenses, striking his body and inflicting considerable damage! Gritting his teeth and powering through the pain, Jake focused on healing the most serious wounds. He noticed the Dragon was vulnerable while concentrating on the beam attack, and our hero immediately switched to the offensive! Pulling out his bow, he was determined to end the fight once and for all! But wait! The cunning Dragon had a surprise! Yrelstromoz instantly appeared before him mid-swing! Jake barely managed to block the blow with his bow! Pushing her back, he switched back to his katars and landed a quick jab! Jake lunged for a strike to her eye, a potentially lethal wound, when Yrelstromoz countered with yet another Word of Power to push him away! As the fight continued, the toll of the Dragonsbane poison was becoming more and more evident as the Dragon's massive mana usage and regular use of power began to take its toll! Though Jake felt confident in his superior melee fighting skills, Yrelstromoz's superior control of magic created a stalemate! With an ear-shattering roar, Yrelstromoz took to the skies and began creating copies of herself out of light! Confused by this terrifying new development, The Viper’s Chosen was forced to retreat as the light copies closed in! Jake’s Arcane magic tore into the copies, but not before a couple passed right through him, burning him from the inside! Not knowing if the damage was physical or spiritual, Jake didn't take any chances, quickly focusing on destroying the copies with powerful Arcane mana attacks! But while Jake was distracted... our villain, Yrelstromoz, was preparing what may be her final, most destructive attack! Jake realizes too late that he is caught right in the middle of a massive, unknown attack! But just as all seems lost... he has an idea about what is coming when he lays eyes upon the Dragon! Will this big attack by Yrelstromoz prove too much for Jake? Will the Viper's Chosen find a way to escape or win at the last possible second?! FIND OUT NEXT TIME... ON THE PRIMAL HUNTER!
Wen L.
Will Jake use [Moment of the primal hunter] or [event horizon] to counter? Feels like time freeze makes more sense for this circumstance as a defensive move, while event horizon is his finishing move. Yrel hasn't displayed any chrono related ability, so I guess not all dragons are versed in time magic.
Rewdan
Thanks Zogarth I’m absolutely loving this whole fight and can’t wait for tomorrow’s cliffhanger
Abcras Shadow
Interesting that dragons seems to have the same thing as humans where when in danger they can just sort of lock in and be better and do more than they previously could. I just wonder if the skills she displays here ever matches deeds from her past of if it is more of a jake bloodline thing where it goes beyond what even addrenelin can do for humans, but for like dragons. The way Willy and Eversmile reacted to it last chapter makes it feel like being a true dragon just gives you a mini version of jakes bloodline, which is probably a huge hint to what his variant race will do for any potential kids.
Bobo
Then you
David
Gotta disagree. Any B grade true dragon is going to have a couple of great skills beyond their normal attacks, as well as at least one OP finisher move. Frankly, I'd be disappointed if there WASN'T a skill or two like these. I am of course saying OP in comparison to other races of similar level. Not compared to other true dragon, who are Way more powerful than her
Loststar7
Thanks for the chapter and the epic teaser at the end.
Alchem
Was loving the fight until this chapter, which felt kinda off; maybe it’s just me. Jake didn’t seem to use much of his repertoire. He held off on using One Step for a while into the chapter, didn’t once use Eternal Shadow (in this chapter) to evade and counterattack, or use wings. Wouldn’t mixing in the use of Eternal Shadow be more mana efficient than purely spamming tons of arcane bolts + barriers? Counterattacks would break her concentration. Also, I forgot what equipment he now has, but don’t a few of them provide useful active abilities? Jake didn’t seem to fight very intelligently this chapter; at least I felt like he didn’t. Is the reason he took so much damage because he wants to hold back revealing the extent of his capabilities to her, and is planning to use a potion to heal up later? Seemed like he was taking pretty significant damage. I’m completely fine if he’s getting his ass beat, Jake should always be fighting above his weight if he can, but I would like him to get it beat while using all his abilities. #Edited to correct grammatical mistakes from this morning.

Don't forget that he still has moment of the primal Hunter. The second that her breath gets too close time is going to stop and he's going to be able to get out of the way. Really, he's not in any real danger at the moment unless she can pivot that breath around fast enough to catch him again
Michael
I Hope not!
Michael
Ok, why isn’t Jake using the wings to escape, if she is about to expire form all the poison? Also curious we haven’t heard Jake upgrade his equipment in some time, does that mean he hasn’t maxed his stats before the fight?

TFTC :) Uh oh. Well after the mess Draskil made of the mushroom king heres hoping Jake dodging Yrels breath doesnt end up with a dragonball like canyon dug through this nice little planet. Though tbf the planet is like the later Zac Snyder films, "dont worry the whole island is uninhabited so they can fight Doomsday in peace" Suggested edits: "wanting his *moments* to be as unpredictable" should be "movements" "seven *graced* his shoulder at too" should be "grazed" "for an entire half *a* minute" drop the "a" here it doesnt sound right with the "an entire" before. So either "for an entire half minute" or "for fully half a minute" "a great deal of *magic*," i think this should be "mana", right? "it hadn’t exactly turned out *ideal*." should be "ideally" "*At once*, the sea of" might be me misreading but did you mean "As one" here? meaning all the orbs dimmed as one? "that using Words of Power directly on him resulted in." awkward phrasing , Possibly "that resulted from using Words of Power directly on him." instead? "singing his back" should be "singeing" (pretty sure this isnt an americanism, right?) "to power her *hells*." should be "spells" i think "of spells only *dwindled* her health pool further" inappropriate wording. perhaps "diminished" instead.If you want to keep the word rephrase to "Her constant use of spells taxing her dwindling health pool." or similar. "shooting arcane bolts and *shooting* arrows" Ditch the repetition. "but Jake *gritted his teeth and* endured" repetitive phrasing from the previous sentence just ditch all of the starred part.

Pride will be the first legacy skill that turns into a primal hunter legacy. The whole bloodline is powered by pride.

A small, pre-system continent. A little smaller than Alaska.

There are deserts as large as entire galaxies on primordial 4. And it was ruined when Yip threw Villy into it.

A circle two thousand kilometers in diameter. So this attack is the size of a continent.

"Wanting his moments to be as unpredictable..." Should be movements

Thank you for the chapter!

At their respective levels, I feel like El Hakan was a stronger fighter. He was definitely more cunning, at any rate.
Leviathan
There's the dragon breath
Cyranosaurus
Moment gonna need to trigger?!?!? Frozen by rituals…..big bad Dragon Breath incoming

Great fight so far! Though a magic circle double the size of the entire UK is a bit silly

I get what Zogarth is going for but I do not think it fits for a weak true dragon. I think the large skills are great on their own or on a top tier dragon. It just doesnt fit here. In my opinion simplicity was better, similar to how Valdemar/Hydra was the simplicity fighter vs Jake. This is like having a gate keeper boss with a bunch of mechanics. Gate Keeper bosses are meant to be stat checks while showing the basics of future bosses. Words of Power, Breath, and Wings of Light would have been perfect. Thank you for the chapter.

Could yrelstromoz take on El Hakan? Assuming that El Hakan can’t do some bullshit and make yrelstromoz give up instantly with some emotion manipulation. And if she could how well would she hold up against the celestial child.

“He was struck by six at once on his foot when he was too slow to move it out of the way, his boots saving his body from being destroyed, but the energy behind the blow still leaked through, causing significant damage.” DOOM FOOT! Nooooooooo! Strike down the evil dragon for daring to harm the foot 😂 TFTC!

hmm is it just me or is this fight getting abit contradictory.. For awhile now it haven't felt like she was winning purely out of her power as a true dragon, she is actually using feints, distractions and strategies... All things we were kinda told she didn't have, as she was average talent with almost no battle experience Other than that, the chapter is fine.. These long fights aren't my cup of tea, and I feel like they are just word bloat.. However I recognize that's not the case, and just my own bias, I'm sure a lot of people love them

He did take note that she wasn’t ever summoning anything new, but merely making use of the existing environment to power her (spells)hells.

He did take note that she wasn’t ever summoning anything new, but merely making use of the existing environment to power her hells**. Should be spells. Small typo. TFTC!

Less than half a second later, seven (grazed)graced his shoulder at too close an interval, leaving him with a nasty burn and destroyed armor.
