Chapter 1232 - Dragon Hunter (1)
🕑 Added 2025-10-17 11:13:59 +0000 UTCJake watched as the ritual hummed to life, and as it did, the unmistakable aura of a True Dragon rushed through the cave and out of its mouth as it flooded the mountainous terrain, scaring away the few elementals and whatnot living in the area.
It was a simple ritual that did little more than amplify the aura of whatever was inside it. Jake had only made some minor modifications before placing the Dragon’s Heart in the center alongside several Cores to power the ritual in Jake’s absence.
The aura given off by the ritual felt incredibly powerful in its immediate vicinity and over a thousand kilometers in every direction, but outside of that, it was hardly discernible... unless one was a True Dragon themselves. Jake didn’t doubt that Yrelstromoz would be able to detect another True Dragon unleashing its power, even if it was on the other side of the planet, which Jake kind of was.
He had looked around for a bit before deciding that this area would be a good place to lay his trap. As mentioned, it was a mountainous region with massive canyons that looked like large rivers had once run through, but now they were just deep, empty fissures. Such terrain made it easy for Jake to hide the ritual but also to use it during the battle. While a B-grade could surely just destroy the terrain, it was bound to buy Jake at least a bit of time should he exploit it.
After creating his trap, Jake took to the air, where he would set up. Once he was at the edge of the atmosphere, so he could avoid his arrow losing power while shooting through it, he created his stealth field with Unseen Hunter.
Jake had already crafted a Protean Arrow and took it out for inspection. The research he had put into creating a Dragonsbane Poison had also proven useful for his Protean Arrow, as it was infused with concepts meant to counter dragons. During his design of the arrow, he’d also made plenty of space to include his Dragonsbane itself, as he hoped to start the fight by delivering a good dose.
However, the nagging feeling that his opening attack wouldn’t go as planned still gnawed at the back of his mind. Due to that, Jake stuck with his relatively conservative approach to his opening attack.
To be clear, it would still be powerful enough to instantly end the lives of most newly evolved B-grades; he just wouldn’t go all out. He would include his Protean Arrow, a fully powered Arcane Powershot, engage with Arcane Awakening at full power, Primal Gaze, and even invest all the Hunting Momentum he had built up... but what he wouldn’t do was use what he believed would be his strongest trump card:
Event Horizon.
No, he would save that skill in case the fight indeed dragged on. In that case, Jake would build up new Hunting Momentum, empower his Hunter’s Mark, and have another Protean Arrow ready. At that time, whatever defensive cards Yrelstromoz had would hopefully also be all used up. Finally, from the skill description and the instinctive knowledge provided, Jake believed it would be a great skill to prevent escape should Yrelstromoz decide to run, something that could be a problem as a dragon specialized in light magic was bound to be fast.
If he ended up not needing Event Horizon, great, but Jake doubted he could avoid using it, and in truth, he would be very disappointed if this hunt proved too easy. The act of hunting down a True Dragon had been a goal since the first time he saw the Malefic Viper on the mural in the Challenge Dungeon, all the way back during the Tutorial. It had been built up in his mind, and Jake hoped it would live up to his expectations.
Jake finished setting everything up as he summoned a stable platform of mana before sitting down and waiting as he gazed in the direction of the city. All he could do now was wait for his prey to take the bait... and hope that his very first dragon hunt would prove a worthwhile one.
--
Yrelstromoz flew through the empty landscape, many thoughts crossing her mind as she wondered why a True Dragon would be on this planet. It had to do with her, right? Perhaps it was someone trying once more to convince her to rejoin the Dragonflights, or maybe it was one of her former suitors?
The fact that she didn’t know annoyed her, making Yrelstromoz feel compelled to investigate.
She quickly traveled across the planet, not even feeling the need to go into her true form. Just her wings were enough to provide the required speed. Flying closer and closer, the aura of the dragon, clearly baiting her to come, grew stronger, but she also noticed something feeling slightly... off.
It was too stable. Too unchanging. When one flared one’s aura, it would usually fluctuate at least a little simply from breathing or moving about, but this wasn’t the case. It was possible the dragon was in deep meditation or too high a level for her to be able to detect these fluctuations, but she still found it odd.
However, her suspicion wasn’t bad enough to make her stop, only to make her slightly more cautious. She released a few invisible pulses of light to map out the landscape all around her once in a while, finding nothing amiss. The only movement was caused by random weak elementals that couldn’t even reach D-grade due to the low level of energy this far from the sea.
Soon, a vast canyon appeared in the distance, surrounded by several tall mountains. Yrelstromoz felt that the dragon was somewhere in that area and slowed down as she approached while also unleashing a bit of her own aura to allow the other party to detect her.
She couldn’t quite pinpoint where the other party was in the maze-like canyon, so she thought it simplest to just let them feel her aura and come to her. Besides, they were clearly the ones reaching out, and they had already made her travel all this way, so wasn’t it only proper they came out to greet her?
After unleashing her aura, she stopped and waited with crossed arms and narrowed eyes. She waited and waited... but there was no response. This truly made her frown, and not because the other party didn’t come out. There was no response at all.
Her aura should at least have caused a reaction, yet it hadn’t. Some minor resonance should have occurred, but it didn’t, prompting Yrelstromoz to soon realize something.
That’s not a True Dragon, just something imitating the aura of one.
Right as she had this realization, she also knew that this was a trap. However, before she had time to react, her danger sense warned her, making Yrelstromoz whip her head upwards. Upon doing so, her vision was filled with a pink-purple color as the attack was already upon her.
Yrelstromoz had no time to react as the attack was simply too fast. Instinctively, she still tried, but just as she did, her entire body and even soul tensed up as she felt the presence of something truly frightening gaze upon her.
It stopped any possible response she could have as the attack landed right on her forehead. She felt something pierce through her skull, shattering it entirely as it continued down through her body. In that moment, as the attack went through her, all she could do was rely on her training... which told her to abandon any resistance and allow herself to be finished off as Yrelstromoz’s body was destroyed...
--
Jake was already charging his next Arcane Powershot as the first one landed. Yrelstromoz had been a real help by stopping, so he didn’t even have to track her movements before shooting, allowing him to focus everything on adding sheer power to his opening attack.
He watched as his opening strike approached the True Dragon, who seemed unaware until the very last moment. She noticed it faster than any other B-grade Jake had fought before, but that didn’t mean she would be able to react in time. Using Primal Gaze, he froze her right as she was about to muster a response, which also allowed Jake to experience for the first time how it felt to use that skill on a True Dragon.
It wasn’t pleasant, to say the least.
A searing pain went through Jake’s mind for a moment; however, it was gone as fast as it had come. In this brief moment, Jake confirmed that the soul of a True Dragon was indeed ridiculously powerful, but Jake’s was nothing to scoff at either, especially not after his recent upgrades and encounter with the Gate of Enlightenment.
Gaze got the job done, and Jake watched as his arrow pierced straight into the skull of Yrelstromoz. He felt the damage being inflicted, but that was when something weird happened. The resistance stopped as his opponent seemingly just gave up and allowed herself to die.
What followed was a massive explosion of pure light. For a moment, Jake was blinded, his eyes burned, and the sheer release of energy also forced Jake’s arrow to self-destruct as the explosion of light was followed by another blast of destructive arcane energy.
Jake, who was still holding the string of his bow with an Arcane Powershot ready, quickly focused on healing his eyes to see what was happening below, as he was out of even his Pulse of Perception range due to how far up he'd flown. He successfully healed his right eye in seconds, allowing him to see the widespread destruction below.
A massive part of the canyon had been leveled, and a large crater had formed, still pulsing with destructive arcane energy even now. Jake scoured the landscape for any clues of where Yrelstromoz could be, as he was confident she most certainly wasn’t entirely dead. Damaged perhaps, but that light explosion hadn’t been her self-destructing or anything like that.
Right then, as Jake was still searching below, his danger sense exploded with warning, and through his sphere, he saw a collection of energy shooting toward him at high speed from behind.
Jake instantly spun around and released his arrow toward the beam of energy. A flash of light filled his vision, and only through his sphere did he see the beam turn into a humanoid figure wielding a sword as the figure quickly dodged his arrow and continued straight for him.
Switching to katars, Jake blocked just in time as a large two-handed heavy sword smashed down from above, sending him flying downwards. He spun around but quickly stabilized as the remnant energy around the humanoid figure faded, allowing him to see that it was indeed his target.
Yrelstromoz floated in the air, wearing an ivory set of almost glass-like armor that reflected the sun’s rays, and in her hands she held a large sword with a thick blade seemingly made out of gemstone. Her aura was flaring, showing she too had activated some kind of boosting skill, perhaps as a necessity to even use her life-saving skill in the first place.
Speaking of which, she looked entirely undamaged from Jake’s opening attack, but when Jake looked more closely, Yrelstromoz was breathing pretty heavily, and her energy seemed slightly unstable, making him believe avoiding death hadn’t been as easy as she made it look.
I also doubt it’s something she can easily repeat, Jake told himself as he continued to regard the True Dragon, who also looked back at Jake with narrowed eyes.
“You... you’re that human from the other day, aren’t you?” she asked, her voice revealing a hint of uncertainty.
Jake was wearing his full combat getup and his mask now, making him look very different from the day he went to rip off the local casino, so it wasn’t a surprise she didn’t recognize him right away. It was no surprise that she clocked him as the same person, either. He’d evidently made an impression, and his status as a C-grade was unquestionable.
“Indeed, we meet once more. Under better circumstances, I would argue,” Jake answered, focusing on his Sense of the Malefic Viper to see if any of his Dragonsbane Poison managed to remain after Yrelstromoz used her life-saving skill.
It was faint, but when he really tried, he could get past the innate resistance of the dragon and feel some of his Dragonsbane still lingering, once more affirming that she had taken some damage. Not a lot, mind you, and she had even managed to dispel his Hunter’s Mark with her skill, but just the fact he had done some damage was a bit of a relief. Also, he was very happy that he hadn’t invested everything in this opening attack.
“I don’t know what you did to make that kind of attack, but I doubt it’s something a mere C-grade can repeat,” Yrelstromoz said, proving herself oddly calm considering the circumstances.
Jake had fully expected her to be a bit out of it after suddenly facing a potentially deadly situation. However, instead, her demeanor was cold and calculated as she scanned him, and he even sensed a few uses of Identify being employed.
“I guess you’ll have to find out,” Jake smiled, deciding not to give her more time than this to recover. In an instant, he whipped out his bow and released a quick Arcane Powershot while retreating backward, trying to create some distance.
Yrelstromoz responded by trying to blow away his arrow with her sword, but it slightly curved around the blade, striking her in the shoulder and even piercing through her armor, making the True Dragon stumble back with astonished eyes.
“How?” she asked in disbelief.
Jake responded by firing a splitting arrow, but this time, Yrelstromoz had learned something and dodged by turning her body into a ray of light. After getting her bearings, she pursued Jake, who responded by teleporting away with One Step, making her briefly lose track of him for a moment, allowing Jake to land an arrow in her lower back, getting him another groan of pain while delivering even more Dragonsbane Poison into her system.
“Fine... let’s see how long you can keep this up.”
Jake ignored her words and just kept trying to get more poison into her system. He knew that a certain amount of poison would need to accumulate before the Mana Allergy effect would truly kick in, making the dragon’s use of magic damage her every time, and luckily for him, it seemed that Yrelstromoz was more than cooperative for now with the way she chose to fight.
Yrelstromoz kept trying to attack Jake using a very simplistic fighting style, mostly ignoring his potshots as he landed one after another. Whenever he did, she merely ripped out the arrow before trying to attack again, seemingly more annoyed than concerned with being pelted like this.
That, or she was being cautious, not wanting to overreact to small attacks in case Jake could release another big one. Also, Jake had to admit that if not for his poison, his minor potshots indeed dealt little damage as he was also still only in the probing stage of combat. He didn’t want to be overly offensive, either, as he had no idea what she was capable of, and seeing as he was facing a True Dragon who hadn’t even bothered to take the visage of a dragon yet, he knew she had far more to show.
After about a minute of back-and-forth with Jake landing a solid dozen arrows, Yrelstromoz’s frown deepened as she stopped trying to attack.
“Odd, whatever boosted you to this level of power should have run out by now,” she said, looking perplexed.
Jake raised an eyebrow as he suddenly realized why she had fought the way she did. Yrelstromoz seemed under the illusion that Jake was using some external item, treasure, or extreme boosting skill to allow him to fight her. Something that would have a very short duration and lead to extreme consequences afterward.
In her mind, that was likely the only way a mere C-grade could keep up with her like this. She truly believed that Jake would burn himself out at any moment... something that annoyed Jake immensely.
Alright, fine, Jake thought as he gazed at her, his demeanor slightly changing as he looked forward to seeing just how long she could keep underestimating him.

Nick Brakhage
soo I thought Yrel sounded like the dragon name for one of the dragons in wow and I googled to check and saw some results like these "Post "Chapter 1235 - Dragon Hunter (4)" by "Zogarth" from Patreon Kemono https://kemono.cr › patreon › user › post If Jake had faced Yrelstromoz without Dragonsbane Poison, he would have been far less confident in his victory. Not necessarily because he believed she was ..." dont know the site but im hoping it has your approval for whats on there.

??? Jake is trying to kill this dragon... so yes I would assume the trap is meant to hurt
Anonymous
Wdym?
Eliza Wiernicka
Does trap hurts the victim?
ItsFin
How is she using equipment without being a god? If its just the raw defense from the materials without the stats it would have to be of insane quality.
Wen L.
Isn't it hinted that his bow is now sentient, maybe it will start talking to Jake. Wonder what kind of persona it will have
Dalton Service
I kind of hope we get an short update on how good his bow is doing in its first proper test.
Biggy smalls
Nah, that ruin the whole story. You can't have the MC mirking beings a whole grade above you that are also amongst the strongest races in the multiverse. That wreck all future fights.
Biggy smalls
No, What she thinks is that Jake is using some sort of object to artifically boost his power thats going to have crippling effects. That opening strike caught her attention. She also evidently isn't aware of the poison he's filling her up with yet.
Boffadeez
We got 29 so far people we can do better

It'll last till Friday with a cliffhanger for the upgrades/levels on friday

Seen Death
Havnt read all the comments, but i think a minor fact that kind of got ignored (although it might have been mentioned for a different purpose) was part of this dragons personality. She said something like "nah im not going to risk my life fighting, thats stupid" So her "not taking jake seriously right now" could actually be her going for the least risky approach to this fight. The "mistake" she made was underestimating jake, although it wasnt actually even that wrong cuz the visible damage jake has done so far is seemingly insignificant (cant wait to see how the poison does haha) Villy advised not fighting a true dragon until he had it, so i imagine thats going to have substantial impact Tyfc! Edit: i wonder if that life saving ability could be exploited, for example it seems she completely gave up on defense to let the skill activate, so that makes me think its possible to disrupt it from properly activating by messing with the concepts or something. And seperately, i have the feeling that being able to take advantage of that flaw, would require the skill of someone who wouldnt have difficulty killing them in a more straightfoward manner anyways

Do we know what a Lumenflight dragon looks like? Otherwise I vote for a bigger version of the Lightfury from How tot train your dragon 3.

I am guessing so similar to the divine heretic title that was talked about earlier
MrBooniecap
I kinda wanted him to just kill her out right and be extremely dissatisfied.
Kristopher Hanson
I'm so ready for Jake to eat a true dragon
Hornbach
Now the real question: is there a Dragon Slayer Titel and if so is it only available for C grades?
Christian Sullivan
I'm excited to see him release his pride and terrify her towards the end. That moment when she realizes even in her dragon form, she is about to die.
brjenness
I wonder what villy superpower he'll use in the fight? touch? or the one that makes a poison deal all its damage instantly? how would that work with the mana bane?
Nate
Yeah she's going to be hella poisoned before she even realizes she's in a fight for her life.

The token should be deactivated since she was kicked out

Waiting for the dragonflights responce to Jake hunting/killing a true dragon in C grade

Did Yrel get rid of that thing her Aunt gave her? I already forgot
Wen L.
Is the Aunt a B-Grade or A-Grade, if Jake does a double kill due to her arrogance or some kind of infighting, it would be an extreme feat for title.
brjenness
not enough of these predictions include mentions of the dragonbane causing damage whenever she uses mana.
ChRiAn
arrow skill, I think, not archery

its kind of funny to think about how there are probably many unconnected civilazations in the first universe that don't know anything about the outside world.

Thank you for the chapter

What is it they say? … fuck around and find out! Keep playing Yrel … keep playing 😏

As cliffhangers go this one wasnt too bad. Looking forward to next week.

Some readers enjoy fighting chapters, maybe calm down.
brjenness
good plan. see you on monday.

I hope this fight dont drag out to over a week like his last fight. He just need to kill her and go to B grade already. If fight drag out, it means its purposely just filler chapters disguise as a fighting chapters.
Joken

Prospects
I think the fight will probably last until the end of next week, potentially longer if she lets her cowardice overshadow her arrogance and tries to flee or get help from her aunt. So imma go with 8 chapters.

Alex
Nah. There’s definitely some entitled rich kid out there who has gods for parents and acts like the entire world is owed to them. Yrel is a fucking menace, but her actions are limited by the fact that she’s just using her status as a True Dragon to do what she wants. Imagine someone with Yrel’s personality who has Divine parents wrapped around their finger. That would be MUCH worse.
Ral
Once he was at the edge of the atmosphere, so he could avoid his arrow losing power while shooting through it I guess Jake is not using his archery skill...
Nexas Aurelias
I feel thr fights gonna be challenging but not nearly as hard as it should be due to her arrogance. 3 chaps for the fight a chap for if the aunt comes to save her and if so a chap for villy intervention/conclusion
Corac
I support this prediction
E H B
I think 6 with Friday being Jake's win i think the fight spawls out towards the end engulfing the planet
Jeremiah Lambert
Everyone is making predictions...so mine is 7 chapters with a cliff on the aunt showing up.
almighty Jellyfish
Tyftc! Well guys this is the last chapter I read for at least a week! I am not going through another el hakan! I am gonna wait till the fight is over!
Fyrtue
Since everybody else is doing predictions, I'll do mine too. I think the end of Tuesday we get to phase 2 of the fight after the poison starts kicking in and she changes to her true dragon form. Next Friday is when she start getting truly desperate and will end with her aunt showing up after she gets the call. There will be a cliffhanger early the following week when Jake's bloodline kicks in to put him in ultra instinct mode to either finish off his prey or try and take down both. Full end of the fight is the following Thursday with a Friday cliffhanger of finishing his recovery/pre-B grade checklist.
Fyrtue
Can't use a sword when she swaps to her true form.

Yrel is in the running for first place in the most disrespectful pos in the galaxy award and not even aware of the award. Astonishing. Tftc

CLIFF OF DOOM .. OMG
DrReverseCallout
Over 7. Zogarth has a devious, yet much needed, plot point to cover, and that’s Irin. We’re going to get about 1.5-2 chapters of Irin. With the last chapter being about Yrelzstromoz using one last hidden technique, or the coin she got, that either: 1.) Makes her incredibly strong for a short period (like El’Hakaan at the end of that fight) but saps her life 2.) her aunt comes in, tries to save the day, but realizes that Jake is the chosen of the Malefic Viper at the last second, and realizes how much she fucked up. Love you, Zogarth! Enjoy your weekend!
Suzanne Pearson
I think the fight with Yurel will last till Thursday then the Aunt arrives as a cliffhanger on Thursday. Then we get one day of Aunt swatting Jake on Friday where the weekend cliffhanger is right before Jake’s moment of the primal hunter/bloodline kicks in……
Jason K
It's kinda weird that she uses a sword, I feel like Jake's "plan" being so focused on fighting a mage means this isn't a good thing for him. Which means it's a great thing for us.

Over under at 4. Not even zog is evil enough to leave us at such s horrific cliff

I think this will be a very challenging fight that will push Jake but I would be surprised if he ends up as badly damage after the fight with Cheeto bitch. I know she is a B grade but he’s grown a lot from that fight and Cheeto studied him while she just seems arrogant

I don't think that's what Zog wants or of this. I think he wants to make this an epic fight for Jake that's fun and interesting to read

The comments are hilarious with how many people are speculating on how long the fight will go and how it will go. We're onto your style Zog lol

I have the feeling this will end up being a fun fight but ultimately easy for Jake as she just turns out to be too stupid by underestimating him for too long.

Yrelstromoz uses Taunt! It was super effective! Thanks for the Chapter
SirbBrownFluffles
Man, the records of a true dragon are no joke. To not have enough life and death experience to even recognize he's not pushing himself and yet still reach B grade? Too funny
Fyrtue
I really hope he keeps showing her perspective periodically throughout the fight so we can see the build up of dread.
C0bra$
Thank u for the story
Suzanne Pearson
I hope Jake lets her underestimate him a while while he peppers her with dragonsbane. She is kinda stupid so that might take a while before she decides so really “swat the annoying ant”!then Jake counters and BOOM! Yurel realizes that she is in for a bad deadly day…. I mean week…
Vega
Thanks for the chapter! This looks like it’s going to be an interesting fight. Draskil’s gonna be SO jealous Jake got to fight a True Dragon before him
Quantainium C
The celestial child fight was 10 chapters long, even the Viper was telling Jake he would have a tough fight ahead of him. I would be surprised if this fight is less than 8. She might not even transform until 4. She is probably going to delay the fight by another chapter just to leave a cliffhanger of her escape too.

I haven't been this excited for a jake showdown since Cheeto!

"ngl one piece is kinda boring we know luffy will find the one piece pls dont drag it out and have him find it by the end of the week" bro grow up
marland lewis
ngl kinda boring at this point like we know he's gonna kill her, we know that the older dragon who tried to get her to chill can't do anything because of Villy so please don't drag it out just have her dead by the end of next week so the story can progress in better directions
Ty Cooper
Tftc! Great starting chapter. I am guessing this fight will be all next week. Its going to be a good week. Looking forward to it. Jake has been looking forward to this fight the whole series after all.

Imagine knowing what happens next and not telling the hundreds of readers desperate to know...

Jake wants a good hunt so hes not letting his guard down thinking Yrel is baiting him but then she saids something stupid and now Jake is pissed because her holding back is denying him his fun..its time for this dumb dragon to take this seriously, I am going to-.. “oh look it seems i reached my word count. See all of you Monday”

But, but I want my Lillian training chapter with her supporting Halsted along with the big C grade doggo on a dungeon dive to fight Adamantine Tusk Boars and Neurotoxin Badgers.
Posiden 300
I hope he swallow's her with new palette
Xander
I think she doesnt care. Her whole thing is shes used to being a big fish in puddles. She honestly doesnt think that Jake can possibly be a threat. WE know hes the biggest swinging dick in the multiverse for his level but to her hes just some slightly more durable ant than the usual ants.
Adam Charron
What does event horizon do again?
Joshua Little
Thanks for the chapter.
Xander
TFTC :) Ok roll up roll up put your money down on whether this fight will be longer or shorter than EH and his Love Slaves. Enjoy the weekend y'all and see you here bright and early on Monday. Suggested edits: "region with *massive* canyons that looked like *massive* rivers" repetitive. "great" "powerful" "giant" "collosal" "vast" "immense" the list is endless. "Such *a* terrain made it easy" should just be "Such terrain..." "If he ended up not needing Event Horizon, great, but Jake doubted *it would come to that*, and in truth, he would be very disappointed if this hunt proved too easy." This sentence switches Jakes position twice. Hes prepared not to use his trump card but he doubts it will come to that but he will be disappointed if it is too easy. I think its the "doubted it would come to that" thats throwing me maybe "doubted thats how it would play out" might just be my narrow internal interpretation of the phrase. "how far he’d flown up" should be "far up he'd flown." "Mana Allergy *effect* would truly kick *into effect*, " repetition. Change the second part to just "truly kick in," "kept trying to *attack* Jake using simplistic *attacks*," repetition. Change the first to "catch" "annoyed than concerned with being *attacked* like this." more repetition. Change this to "wounded" to save using variations of "attack" five times in this small paragraph and the following sentence. "that Jake *was burning* himself out at any moment..." should be "would burn" since its speaking of future events.

Thanks for the chapter. Hope everyone has a great weekend. I also hope we don’t get trolled by a side character catch up on Monday, and yes, I know I’m putting that evil thought out into the world.

A whole week of catching up with the rest of the cast. Probably William - i hate that guy. Then back to the fight the week after.

love it when Zog obviously reads the comments and fills in little details or adds clarifications. Makes us feel part of the story kinda.

Wow, you should publish a series 👏
Ira White
Hahahahaha gauntlet thrown Zog will now turn this into the primal hunter version of the namek Goku Freiza fight which im pretty sure took 120 episodes 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
Tommy
We knew it was coming. And yet we read the 1st chapter of the battle anyway 😂 weekend cliff woop! Bets on the fight pattern? Bets on how many chapters it’ll take? I’m thinking, 1 more chapter fighting her human form as Jake ramps up his power. Then she shifts into draconic form for a couple of chapters and he is fighting a battle of attrition slowly whittling her down. Then finally her arrogance is broken, and she tries to flee for a chapter. The next chapter is full on hunt mode, as Jake builds momentum chasing her and then unleashes event horizon. Total: 5 chapters. Battle ends at the end of the week! TFTC!

I’m on 4 weeks holiday after this weekend. YOUR CLIFFHANGERS HOLD NO SWAY OVER ME ZOG!

Monday Jake discovers he needs to go super sayjin Tuesday dragon girl channels her inner Sitama but is blocked by Jake after Villy tell Jake that Artemis is sitting in his room dressed as an anime heroine after the MC comes to save her, Wednesday dragon girl starts releasing her trump cards of dragony doom forcing Jake to combine his fighting prowess, his sphere, and meditation to create ultra instinct Thursday dragon girl gets lucky and actually hurts Jake causing him to retreat long enough to heal and set up for his ultra ego infused BIG BANG ATTACK I mean event horizon. Friday interference from auntie luemon dragon Jake reveals his identity and uses his faux villy identification power to tell her to piss all the way off. Monday dragon girl goes full dragon mode and ends up shishkabobed and turned into dragon ingredients for Jake's next alchemy session. Tuesday will be stat and gains day. Wednesday will be auntie dragon declaring vengeance on Jake only to get tee bagged by the entire dragon flight accords. Jake will head back to find out that Artemis is indeed dress as an anime heroine in desperate need of saving in his room ending an amazing battle power up stat and implied reward of Jake and Artemis breaking a bed and probably a wall. Only for the old man to do some leveling of his own with vimpre goddess unlocking the skill *oldman's drip rizz resetting the clock* lvl sacred lmao

How long you been subbed?

I think Friday cliff complaint comments are the highlight of Zogarth’s week.

I think Pride is still at legendary but yeah. He's going to need all of his tricks for when the fight begins in earnest.
Julien Morel
I don't like weekends anymore
Fyrtue
She's going to get a rude awakening next week. That mana allergy effect sounds horrible for a true dragon. Given her mindset, I don't think she'll react well to constant pain.
Jordan Rogers
It’s a cliff but not a bad one, been much worse if he stopped at the initial arrow release or that an attack from above was coming.
Eric Shivak
TFTC! Underestimating an opponent... good night moon.

Zogarth has unlocked a new skill. Bombastic Cliffhanger Mythical: Where your readers know that Friday will be a cliffhanger and yet are still struck by how awful it feels once they’ve finished reading and are left wanting more and hating that they’ll have to wait until Monday.
Blutako
Yeah its a weird feeling that I have gotten used to thanks to 6 months of being subbed here
BumAssBumAss
I'm assuming that explanation regarding event horizon was for me, haha. Makes sense. Also this dragon doesn't recognize Jake. She is truly a frog in a well.
Fdrugc
Tftc, does she not notice thr poison?
Mohammed Sheekh
Pride of the Malefic Viper is mythical, moment of the primal hunter is mythical and also event horizon is mythical. He gotta use all three at least
Staudi
Let the Hunt beginn! Weidmanns Heil Jake! Tyftc!
Blutako
Maybe thats why zogarth mentioned vampire smut, he is secretly a thought based vampire that feeds off of mental turmoil focused on him

I do have to admit i have a love hate relationship with your cliffhangers zogarth but such a good chapter I read it twice. Also if anyone else is vying for zogarth's vampire smut here is a link, the more signatures the better, maybe comment how much you would pay for it, personally I would do $7 per poem and $10 per short story 😉 https://www.ipetitions.com/petition/zogarth-vampire-smut

I knew the cliff was coming but STILL.
Joken
And there he is, Zogarth, walking the beach at home. His gaze traveling along the horizon, watching the waves touch the sky. His sadistic smile crawling up to his eyes, “I did it again, I rule their thoughts for another weekend”.
Mohammed Sheekh
At least we know the whole of next week will be action packed
Christopher Nisonger
Thanks for the chapter… looking forward to getting my fix on Monday
Nathan Holliday
I don’t know when it will happen but I can’t wait for him to reveal that he is the chosen of the Melafic Viper. I want to see her disrespect him the entire fight when she finally takes her true dragon form he unleashes his full aura with pride to counteract her and want Zogarth to describe a dragon’s face going pale.

Come on guys, its always cliffhangers on Fridays, just like its always Taco Tuesdays. These are known natural laws of life.
JW Saxby
LFG!!! 👍🏼😂👍🏼 Tyftc!! 🍻
Kyler
One of the more pleasant Friday endings we got. Atleast we not here picking our brains on "tf happen, who's this, what are they doing" no no we know come Monday we'll have a pov from like Miranda, then Tuesday we'll get back into the fight
