Point-of-View: Terrastra

———————————————————————————

"Tear me apart, you say? No, that’s not going to be possible...you lost the instant you entered my cave. You shouldn’t have done that," I replied with a smile.

Jevera’s eyes widened as several earth spikes came shooting in towards her from the walls, ceiling and floor of the cave, as Jagger quickly turned around and shot towards the entrance as fast as he could.

I swiftly raised a wall of earth over the entrance, sealing it shut again right as several spikes skewered Jevera, eliciting a cry of pain from her as blood trickled down the spikes.

"Damn, you...! This won’t be enough to take me down!" She snarled, before a barrage of dark red energy projectiles burst out around her, before they erupted into powerful explosions as they peppered the inside of my cave.

I narrowly evaded one, before stumbling forward as it exploded behind me and triggered a small shockwave, knocking me slightly off balance. Chunks of dirt began falling down as the cave started to collapse, as Jevera managed to break free of the earth spikes, which had cracked from the force of her explosions.

As I took control of the earth to keep the space from caving in, she turned towards the entrance and fired out a rapid explosive projectile at it, as Jagger came charging in towards me.

I swiftly extended out a pair of earth columns in towards him from either side, he quickly picked up his speed before grimacing as the columns crushed his back before slamming against each other, blood gushing out of his back before he suddenly extended out several tendrils of blood from his hands, sending them shooting out towards me with immense speed.

I raised a wall of earth in front of myself as the tendrils closed in on me, before extending out a rapid, rising wave of earth spikes towards him.

He quickly spread out his wings and flew back in response, right as the earth wall in front of me shattered as a fierce explosion burst out, before my eyes widened slightly as a massive barrage of explosions came shooting towards me.

I got low and shot forward at full speed, flying past the projectiles before a chain of intense, deafening explosions erupted behind me.

I zipped out of the cave entrance with a grimace, right as it collapsed, the two Elder Vampires having already exited the cave themselves.

I’d hoped to keep the fight within the cave since I thought I’d have the advantage, but maybe it was too cramped for a two-on-one battle.

Well, no matter...it’s daytime, so they do not have access to their full power. They may outnumber me, but if they think they can defeat me with any semblance of ease, I’m more than happy to prove them wrong...

I swiftly raced across as several explosions came shooting towards me, before turning my gaze up as Jagger came swooping down towards me.

I burst out several earth spikes up towards him from the ground around me as he began to close in on me, before he abruptly halted, one of the spikes inflicting a deep gash across his left side before he quickly flew back and got some distance away from me, right as Jevera fired out a rapid, slashing wave of blood towards me.

I raised an earth wall up in that direction, a deep cut appearing across the middle of it as her attack struck it, before a barrage of explosions came flying up and over my earth wall, before plummeting down towards me.

I quickly fired out several large chunks of earth as the projectiles rained down towards me, the projectiles exploding in unison as my earth chunks intercepted them and broke apart to pieces, forming a thick cloud of dust that came flowing down towards me.

I began to take control of the dust and disperse it, before a blood tendril came shooting through the dust cloud and wrapped around my neck before I could react, pulling me off my feet with a sharp tug and rapidly lifting me up into the air as I let out a choked gasp.

As the tendril pulled me into the middle of the dust cloud, I grimaced and dispersed the dust as I began to take aim at Jagger above me, before my eyes widened as I spotted a rapid explosive projectile shooting towards me from below the instant I dispersed the dust cloud.

I quickly crossed my arms in front of myself, the projectile striking my arms and exploding intensely, a sharp, stinging pain bursting out across my forearms before I gritted my teeth and sent several blades of earth shooting up towards Jagger.

The blood tendril around my neck broke apart as he flew away to evade the blades as they zipped up towards him, before I quickly swooped down as more explosions came barreling towards me, narrowly evading them before unleashing a barrage of rapid earth shards towards Jevera.

A mass of blood burst out of her hands and formed a swirling crimson dome around her, which deflected my projectiles away, before I slammed my palms onto the ground as I landed, wincing as stinging pains erupted across my forearms, before I gritted my teeth and burst out several earth spikes from the spot within her blood dome.

The dome collapsed as she quickly zipped out and flew up, several deep cuts all over her body before the wounds rapidly healed and closed up. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"You Elder Vampires have always looked down on us Dragon Kings because we don’t have the ability to regenerate as you can...and now, I shall make it clear that that was a costly mistake..."
