"Crescent Wave!" invoked the Dark Mage as he slashed through the air towards the draconic beast, the dark bow-wave of the magic slamming into their chest as they tried to rear up and away from the ranged assault. "Grargh!" roared the dragon before it slammed the ground, causing Za'cha to stumble a little before he righted himself. "You insolent little worm! I will peel you from that armour and devour you!" the beast proclaimed as it charged towards him. Za'cha simply smirked beneath his helmet as he charged the dragon as well.
The dragon's right claw came swiping in towards him, to which he brought Hidden Saber down in a blocking move, the dragonbone blade searing through their hide. "What is this?!" demanded the dragon as it brought its head up to bring down a blast onto him. "Dragon bone. Nasty thing for your kind ain't it?" quipped the Ex-Quip mage, jumping backwards as a large plume of fire came crashing down on the spot he'd been at moments before. The blast did however inflict some damage to him as the backwash flickered over him. "That was close... don't be so reckless." ordered Pride. "Had to get it to reveal itself... now we can really put this through its paces." said Za'cha before he held out a hand towards the beast.
"Oh? Are you surrendering mortal? Too little too late!" it declared as it prepared another breath attack. "Not quite. Dragon's Mirror!" he invoked, the pulse of magic surging from him before it enveloped the dragon. "Ha! Your attack did nothing! Now burn!" roared the dragon before it blinked. Nothing had come from its maw. "I said burn!" he roared, trying once more to breathe its fires over him. The beast stared at the empty air between the two of them before snarling. "What did you do to me you filthy human?!" it demanded.
"Simple. I took away your power. And now, you shall die!" yelled Za'cha as he charged towards the beast, his sword ringing out. The dragon let out a furious roar before it began to swat at the armoured mage, trying to squash him like a fly. The dragon managed to land a telling blow against the Dark Mage, who snarled as he pulled himself to his feet after being knocked back several feet. "It would appear this dragon is not quite playing around. And the Mirror won't last forever." remarked Pride. "Aye... no matter. Hidden Saber's dealing enough damage. Look at him. Bastard's bleeding out wherever we've cut him." argued Za'cha, nodding at the beast.
"Don't you have another weapon that is anti-dragon?" asked Tessa, to which both males looked a bit bashful about. "...You two are kidding me here. THIS is your only set?" scowled the Spirit of the Scythe. "H-Hey! I'm working on it alright!" Za'cha yelled, earning a puzzled look from the dragon. "Who are you talking to mortal?" The Dark Mage blinked before placing a gauntlet over his helmet in the facepalm position. "Never mind... just die already." he said as he charged the beast once more. The dragon once more brought their talons to bear, the beasts claws scraping against his dragonbone sword. "And now to squash you!" roared the beast, their other claw coming in from behind Za'cha.
"Damn it..." he cursed before using his armours tail to stab into the first claw and then using that grip to pull himself up onto their scaled arm. "Why didn't we do that sooner?" asked Tessa to which both Za'cha and Pride replied with "Shut up!" as they began to run up the beasts arm. "What the... I WILL NOT BE MOCKED!" roared the beast as it tried to squash them, blinking as the armoured mage was now on their shoulder, and soon enough on their back, right next to their neck to be precise. "Now... die!" yelled Za'cha as he plunged his sword down into the beasts neck, holding on for dear life as the gargantuan beast began to trash around, trying to dislodge him and the sword going deeper and deeper into its flesh.
Blood sprayed everywhere, coating everything around them in its fluids, including all over the armour and blade. Eventually the beast collapsed to the ground, its body wracking in its death throes as the Dark Mage slowly stood up, his sword still embedded in the beasts flesh. "Right... lets get collecting then eh?" he said, bringing out several large vials into which he started to gather up the dragon's blood. He then put some of its scales into a satchel he then put back into the small dimensional space that he stored his equipment in. "We've got company." said Tessa, causing Za'cha to look down from the dragon's still shuddering body at the gun toting girl. "Oh... hello." he called down as he removed his sword from the dragon's flesh and jumped down. He looked around at the devestation the other dragons were causing then back at the Rune Knight. "...Not my fault." he quickly said.
