The two dragons lunged at him. The world slowed down to his eyes. ' I see you.' the dragons looked like two huge bolts of lightning.

However he was able to see them, they were still faster, much faster than he was but he no longer felt helpless.

They flanked his left and right sides. Before he could react their claws already ripped massive chunks of his flesh.

He gritted his teeth through the pain and flew to the ground like a meteor. A shockwave spread out generating heavy winds.

His image stirred, the dragon image opened it mouth and poured more golden light onto him, his physical attributes grew even stronger.

He grinned, the more wounds he suffered, the stronger he got. The best part was, the golden light regenerated his stamina as well.

Realising the longer this fight lasted, the stronger he will get, he felt his fear subside. Instead of seeing this as a deadly situation, he saw it as a chance to temper himself.

Ved looked up and roared, the two dragons dropped towards him like the wrath of Zues. All he managed to do was cross his arms to block.

His bones shattered into dust immediately, a massive force pressed him against the tower.

He coughed up blood. The entire mountain shook. His body started breaking down little by little, scales cracked, muscles ripped apart and organs started failing.

Even with all his enhancements, their power was too great, however with the image active, he regenerated as soon as his body broke which prevented his death.

Blue flames that flickered like candlelight appeared around him like fireflies. In a blink of an eye they exploded, flames spread out covering the entire tower roof.

Ved clicked his tongue, the dragons were too fast and seemed much smarter than the others.

They retreated to the sky faster than the flames could spread, dodging his attack. He created hundreds of weapons around himself.

Each coated with the gel to increase their resistance to lightning. The weapons spun around him creating layers of defence.

He flapped his wings and took to the sky, the dragons flew at him like spears. They crashed through multiple weapons turning them into tiny pieces.

However the weapons managed to fulfil their purpose. They shaved a layer of lightning off the dragons bodies.

Ved had noticed a troubling issue, it was harder to shave off the lightning from these two dragons than the last two ones.

Meaning this fight will last much longer unless he takes action and reduce their lightning himself.

Fortunately the two dragons would not abandon their purpose, which is to kill him. Even if he set up a trap they will still gladly rush into it.

Although smarter than the previous two, they were still just construct of the tribulation, not actual living creatures with self preservation.

They placed no value in their lives and he was going to use that against them. The last layer of weapons crumbled.

Ved saw red and the next thing he knew he was falling faster than his eyes could follow. His ribs broke and stabbed his organs, his lungs busted like a water balloon.

He coughed up a lake of blood enough to drown a human. However the tree behind him shook it leaves and poured green light onto him.

His regeneration worked dozens of times faster, his wounds healed before he even touched the ground. His body bounced off the tower like a ball.

He noticed the green light didn't just effect his regeneration but iron scales trait as well as flash.

Each of those trait were necessary in keeping him alive but unfortunately no matter how powerful the image was, it power was still limited.

He looked up and fired a huge beam of nuclear energy forcing the dragons to dodge. He used that chance to create a shield above him.

Then shot a web to the side. They broke through the shield. The moment the shield broke, a blue spark appeared in it place.

Ved grinned, the web rope pulled him to the side and the spark exploded. Unfortunately he wasn't fast enough and was caught in the blast.

Although his offensive traits weren't as effective against him, they still hurt when he was caught up in them. Just as he was about to check the results he found himself sailing through the air, his blood boiling from immense heat.

' Huh?' he was confused, he didn't see anything. Red lightning arcs danced like tiny snakes over his body and a massive burnt hole appeared on his side exposing even his organs.

Before he could register anything, a claw hit him from the side. Blood spilled out like fountains and evaporated from the surrounding heat.

Thunderous sounds shook the sky, Ved was thrown to the ground, before he even touched the ground he found himself flying back up.

However he saw it that time, the winged dragon was below him and the serpent dragon was above.

They were smaller but much stronger and faster. At first he thought their sizes dropped because his attack shaved off a large part of them.

However he realised he was wrong, they condensed their bodies themselves. They weren't just lightning anymore.

Their bodies appeared to be made of plasma. The temperature around them was so high the sky itself burnt from their mere presence.

Of course a move that powerful didn't seem to come without a cost. They were losing part of their bodies with each passing moment.

At this rate they will last way less than they would have before but the same could be said for him.

They beat him around like a ball, throwing him left and right, up and down, he had zero control in this fight. In only a few seconds they had attacked him tens of thousands of times.

Each attack bringing him closer to death, he has no idea how many times his organs, even some of his hearts busted like balloons from the powerful force of their attacks or were roasted from the heat.

His blood formed a massive red pool below him but evaporated moments later. However with each attack, his body grew stronger, much stronger.

However he was disappointed, he has reached a limit of how much stronger he could get.

He thought he could grow stronger forever as long as he got hurt but it seems that was just wishful thinking.

The limit was the maximum his soul and mind could bear. If his body grew significantly more powerful than his soul, he would not be able to move it at all.

However he didn't know his actions had shaken Ursela and the others. " He..he has reached rank 5 strength hasn't he?" She whispered.

Novak shook his head, " In terms of physical strength, yes but there's more to a rank 5 than physical strength. His soul and will does not match that strength, not to mention, he hasn't touched upon laws.

Against a real rank 5 being, his physical strength alone would be meaningless, still, this should be enough for him to survive this battle."

Ved felt it too, his perception and speed were much higher than before. He saw it, the serpent dragon flying towards him with it red claws brandished like burning daggers.

It slashed at him, the wind screamed like ripping cloth as the claws cut through it. They drew closer and closer with each passing moment.

He flapped wings and turned into a colourful streak of light. He appeared above the dragon and grinned.

" You're mine now."
