Chapter 8-KAEL VS AURELIUS, RISE OF GOLDEN KAEL

The mana around the room becomes small as two devine manas collid, the Null mana and the Dragon mana. Renzo and the Great Dragon size each other.

Great Dragon (he speaks in a deep menacing void that makes the room tremble.): Aurelius, who is this boy."

Aurelius (he slowly gets back up, his body hurt.): "His identity isn't known, but he is a comrade of Kael."

Great Dragon (he looks at Kael right behind Renzo.): "Kael? You have returned."

Kael (his expression becomes serious and he speaks in a calm voice.): "Yes father, and I've come to overtake control of the Dragon realm."

Great Dragon (he laughs, his laughter echoes through the room and shaking the walls.): "HAHAHAHAHA, please boy, don't make me laugh. You really think you can defeat me with the power scale the both of you possess?"

Renzo (he speaks in a calm and bored voice.): "Kael, this old dragon is dumb, so focuse on your own battle. Now Great Dragon, turn into your human like form, I'm not up to fight an oversized lizard."

Great Dragon laughs and turns into his human form, his wings spread widely as his arms are muscular, his scales ruby red and he is taller than Renzo by five foot tall. Renzo looks at him and chuckles.

Renzo: "Damn, you are tall."

Great Dragon: "Well boy if you think you are superior to me then try and hit my face, that is if you can with your small heig..."

Without letting him finish his words, Renzo hops to the Great Dragon's face and effortlessly punches his face with his right hand, making the Great Dragon fall back with immense force and crashes outside of the castle and fifteen houses. Renzo lands on his feet, his hair and jacket flowing down. He twist his wrist and looks at the distance the Great Dragon fell.

Renzo (in a bored lazy expression and voice under his Runic mask.): "That sure took a sting. Now let's get right to it."

Kael's siblings are left stunt and they're eyes widened as Renzo punched their father outside the castle. Kael is surprised that Renzo didn't even try to use his true powers yet he managed to punch his father outside the castle. The Great Dragon gets out of rubble and cracks his neck, gold blood dripping from his mouth.

Great Dragon (he wipes the blood from his lips with the back of his hand and speaks in his mind.): "That was a normal punch, and yet it carried a galaxy impact. Who is this kid, is he the one that stupid Valerius mentioned? The mask is the same as he described. If so he might be difficult to defeat if I don't use my true form."

Renzo mocks the Great Dragon by casually sitting on the throne table and leaning his chin on his right hand. The Great Dragon stretches his wings and with immense speed of flight he flies towards him with supersonic speed and obliterates the houses he passes and appears infront of Renzo's face. Renzo doesn't move and the Great Dragon punches him making him at Kael.

Renzo gets up and cracks his neck, then without any second to waste, the Great Dragon appears behind Renzo, and his right arm burns in sun like fire.

Great Dragon: "[SUN PUNCH]"

The punch connects on Renzo's back and sends him flying towards the hole in the castle, but the Great Dragon appears infront of him again and connects the punch again, with multiple punches were Renzo is flying to. When he is about to use his full punch at Renzo's back, Renzo does an easy backflip and the Great Dragon punches the air, cutting the atmosphere and Renzo grabs Great Dragon's head with his right hand and does a backflip and jumps back. Then immense shockwaves hit Great Dragon three hundred times, making him fall to his knees coughing out blood.

Renzo (he lands next to Kael who is fighting his other siblings.): "Kael, I just took your father's punches and I gotta say I'm disappointed. He doesn't have the full potential to harm me."

Kael: "Don't underestimate him, he's still has more abilities."

Renzo (he hops up and down and stretches himself.): "Don't care, all my life I wanted this since the day I could rebreath."

Renzo takes off his jacket and he throws it away and it vanishes. Without waiting for second, Renzo instantly dash towards the Great Dragon and they have an intense combat. Renzo kick his chest and spins around falling back and disappears and appears behind Great Dragon, but Great Dragon dodges his attacks and grabs Renzo's neck and slamms on the floor, making a massive crack. Great Dragon tries to burn Renzo with black flames coming out for his mouth, but Renzo jumps back and dodges the flame.

Renzo: "Never thought you could keep up with me."

Great Dragon: "Don't underestimate me kid."

Without alert, Great Dragon teleports behind Renzo and kicks his neck roughly, making him slam to the ground with immense force. Great Dragon kicks Renzo up and punches him fastly. But Renzo is able to dodge every punch and kicks him under his chin and backflips back, and making Great Dragon fall back, but Renzo doesn't stop, he jumps at him and kicks his stomach. Great Dragon stumbles back and falls down to his knees.

Renzo (he breathes heavily under the mask.): "Damn it, you really are tough. So now that I can barely match you, don't hold back, or you'll be killed."

Great Dragon: "You have good fighting skills, but not good enough."

Renzo: "You don't say, then come at me with your true form."

Great Dragon (he laughs and looks at Renzo with dominant eyes.): "HAHAHAHA, as you wish, but be warned after I've taken this form not even you can handle me."

Great Dragon's mana starts to raise as he screams, the entire realm and planet starts to shake, as the entity that created the worlds becomes serious in the battle. His mana roughly grows, surpassing Omni mana, making even Fenris sense the mana. Renzo's psycho smiles spreads under the mask, as he sees the Great Dragon's body raises destroying even the castle. As he reaches his massive height, he stands up with his two feet and he becomes 1,000 metres tall, his wings 3 to 5 kilometres as he looks down at the tiny Renzo.

Renzo (an evil smirk spreads behind his mask.): "Perfect, now I can really enjoy this fight." (He looks at Kael.) "Kael, enjoy your fight, I'm going to the sky."

Renzo flies up at Great Dragon, leaving Kael with his siblings.

Aurelius: "Vorgath, deal with him."

Vorgath (he slowly walks towards Kael while stretching his arms.): "Let's get this done Kael."

Kael (he starts to tremble, then he calms himself and smirks.): "What? You are afraid to take me on Aurelius? Come on I can handle all of you on my own."

Vorgath (stops and looks at Aurelius.): "You wanna do this?"

Aurelius: "No, I'll handle him in my own. I have my honour as a dragon, it will be a one on one, I've always wanted to kill you Kael with my own hands."

Kael (he laughs.): "HAHAHAHA, a 1v1? Bring it on."

Aurelius slowly walks towards Kael, then he starts to jog at him and then dashes at him with instant speed and charges a punch at him, but is able to block it with his left knee. Aurelius spins and kicks him at his right leg, making Kael fall to his right side. But Kael lands on his right hand and kicks Aurelius with immense speed and strength on his head and he crashes down. And Kael stands still and actives his magma spell in his left hand.

Kael: "[BLACK MAGMA CLAW]"

Aurelius dodges the attack and jumps back, but Kael appears infront of him and slashes him at his chest, making four claw marks on his scales. Kael continues to slash him with intense speed which makes Aurelius lose his balance and fall to the ground and Kael jumps and charges his magma mana on his left palm and a magma heating ball spins on his palm.

Kael: "[BLACK MAGMA BALL]"

Kael throws it at Aurelius and it connects which destroys the entire castle, blowing the other siblings back with immense force. Kael flows back on the ground and looks at the smoke, after a moment, an immense massive fire ball shots at Kael.

Aurelius: "[MASSIVE FIRE BALL]"

The fire ball flies straight towards Kael before he could touch the ground and it hits him, and explodes making a giant crater on the ground. Aurelius walks out of the smoke towards the crater. He sees Kael still on his feet, barely standing and breathing. Kael looks at him, bleeding gold everywhere on his body, he slowly tries to walk forward to Aurelius.

Kael (groaning as he slowly walks.): "A-Aurelius, I-I'm not... d-done YET!!!"

Aurelius (he looks down at Kael and crosses his arms together.): "Don't over do it Kael, be proud of your growth little brother. Only you were the only one to barely survive massive fire ball. There's no shame in that, die in piece."

Aurelius turns around and slowly walks away without looking back.

Kael (he looks at him and screams at him.): "AURELIUS, COME BACK AND FIGHT ME!! I'M NOT DONE YET!! (He starts to tear up as he flashbacks in his past.) "All my life you all treated me like I was a mistake, that I was not worthy of breathing or being the son of the Great Dragon. But only eleven people treated me as a normal dragon, mother, Ember, Ash, Igris and Ignis, Blaze, Sash, Aeryn, Ashborne, master Renzo and miss Mina. If I die now, all of their kindness and support will be all fo nothing. Master, you once told me that limits are just an excuse to stop pushing one's tier. WELL, I'LL BREAK THOSE LIMITS AND PUSH BEYOND ANY DRAGON HAS REACH!!!"

Kael starts to charges his mana and keeps on struggling, without stopping he roars, the sound of a thousand dragons roaring from one person, making Aurelius turn to look. A rasping, guttural roar torn from a throat of raw with effort, the sound of bones realigning like a tectonic shift as his mana raises and changing colour around his body, he bends down slowly and his scales turn silver along with his eye balls. His energy becomes so dense it turned the air into shimmering liquid.

He didn't just try to reach for the power, he clawed at it, his fingers digging into the very fabric of his soul. His vision blurred into a jagged, electric gold. Every muscle fiber seized, snapping and knitting back together in the span of a heartbeat. It wasn't a transition, it was a cataclysmic restructuring. As his roar shook the heavens, the golden aura and mana didn't just grow, it shattered, trying to revealing a cold, terrifying brilliance beneath.

Renzo (he smirks under his mask.): "Don't stop Kael, define limit in your own way."

Kael's bones straining against the shackles of his own DNA, his pulse hammered like a war drum, each beat threatening to burst his veins, bones groaned and shifted, screaming under the weight of a power they weren't built to carry. The sound of a soul fracturing a glass-like tinkle amidst the roar of his own agony. As he bends down he roughly raises up, hitting his chest with his right hand. Finally with a last groan of bending, he screams out his form and a massive shockwave pushes the entire Kingdom's buildings away.

Kael's screams calm as a golden shell covers his body perfectly. The shell starts to crack and it slowly dissolves like flowers as Kael stands still with his tail slowly moving behind him, his scales turned into black gold, with a halo made of black static behind his head. His build becomes more muscular and defined with signature gem plates on his chest purple. Renzo smiles as he looks at Great Dragon. Aurelius and the other siblings look at the new powerful Kael, who is standing in the giant crater.

Kael slowly opens his eyes, which are blood red. He looks up at Aurelius with a serious expression.

Kael (he speaks in a deep voice.): "Aurelius, round two."

Aurelius (he trembles in disbelief of Kael's new form.): "Im-imposible, how could you, of all dragons reach that form?"

Kael (he looks at him confused.): "What are you talking about?"

Aurelius (he grinds his teeths and starts to get angry.): "DON'T Act Stupid, That's The Legendary GOLDEN FORM THE ANCIENT DRAGONS SPOKE OF. I SHOULD BE THE ONLY ONE TO REACH IT!!

Aurelius charges to punch Kael. As he punches him, Kael stands still and doesn't feel anything. Kael punches Aurelius with just one punch, making him crash on the ground and cracking his skull. Kael looks at the rest of siblings and raises his left hand which harvest his golden mana.

Kael: "[DEVINE SUN CANNON]"

The cannon shots straight to the five of them and it explodes at them which causes them to go unconscious. Kael looks at the fallen Aurelius and he bends down to grabs his arm.

Kael: "Sorry big brother, but I had to do it."

Aurelius (he groans in pain.): "Kael, Y-you will pay for thi-this."

Kael nods and carries him. And watches as the battle between Renzo and Great Dragon which is about to begin.
