formed on his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That could be handled until he started flying encased in a tornado on his lower half.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, multiple blades of wind fired from

of ice and did across them as I tried to get closer and closer to the damn bastard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I fired multiple beams of ice as well, and then jumped when I was near him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I landed on his upper body, away from the tornado on his lower body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And prepared both of my elbows, and mashed them in his

elbows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then It was my turn to be suddenly pushed away by an immense pressure of wind that erupted from his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I, who was sent flying, conjured ice to soften my fall, and when I looked back in his direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hundreds, no Thousands of blades of wind, Other constructs all filled my sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And I

coughed from the aftermath of the attack, and Aranus asked me in my mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know, I'm just trying to use what the sword saint taught me, isn't that why you told me to become his student, to learn how to manipulate aura and how to fight?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ezra and I engaged in battle again after I asked Aranus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, I was repeatedly getting bested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I advised you to go the sword saint to learn how to fight yes, but I didn't tell you to just focus on hand-to-hand combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And about that Aura, even I was oblivious about it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We Dragons are beings of mana, Aura is something unknown to us, We use mana along with other fighting techniques intricately to attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We don't entirely focus on physical combat, we are masters of mana, and our ways to utilize mana and our strengths are unparalleled.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As I went flying away by another attack, I was met with the same pattern of thousands of wind blades attacking me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are dragon Alan Peccator.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said, and I replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know that!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My injuries were bad now, although I am confident my bloodline will heal them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if anybody asks, I'll just tell them it was a skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this attack may prove to be too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then fight like a Dragon!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as he said that, suddenly an idea emerged in my mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I opened a large portal in front of me to absorb all the wind blades, and then opened small ones all around Ezra and he now faced the brunt of his attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I thought if I opened a big (Entry Point) portal, which absorbed the attacks and then connect it to multiple smaller portals (exit points), I can use his attack against him more unpredictably than just opening two portals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ezra immediately absorbed his mana back and the blades of wind disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, he flew straight to me, encasing his hand in a blade of wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wanna come closer huh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fine, come as close as you want!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I'll show you
