Legacy Of Fire: Chronicles Of The F-ranked Anomaly

Chapter 10: The Mane Tamed



Darius stared at the Nubian Lion, he was not sure what he was going to do to win. "Azree, is the power-up ready?" Darius asked, he was looking at the Lion he was waiting for the powerup to enter the main part. 

"You have two minutes remaining," Azree gave Darius the heads up he needed, he was looking at the lion and not trying to let its aura pin him down. 

"Alright, I should be able to handle this monster in the meantime, hopefully, I won't die trying," Darius said as he dashed for the Lion once more, he knew that it was a bad idea but if he was going to face the monster and win he would need to face it off with all he had. 

"Come on!" Darius using all the speed he had, was not going to let anything keep him down in any way. 

Darius had jumped to the lion's blind spot trying to make sure that he would land a blow that would help him kill the monster. He was looking at the lion but he was not going to let that be the last blow he would land on the creature. 

When Darius tried to land a punch the lion dodged and turned to Darius, the lion waved its claw at Darius hurting him. 

"Now that hurts!" Darius said as he looked at the Lion, he winced from the sharp pain. Darius looked up to stare into the Lion's scary-looking eyes. 

'I don't know how I am going to be able to take this beast, but until I will be able to use the upgrade.' Darius looked at the Nubian Lion and he knew that nothing was going to be able to stop the beast at the time. 

He charged for the Lion once more, this time he was going faster than before and he planned to make sure that there was no way for the Lion to take him down. 

The Nubian Lion released an aura, it was scary and intimidating. Darius was looking at the Lion, he didn't know why but then there was something that made him want to bow. 

'The Nubian Lion has activated the King's Aura, allowing it to make opponents back off and bow. In that time all your powers and abilities would be malfunctioning.' Azree had given Darius the rundown on the Nubian Lion's ability. 'The upgrade is seventy percent done, you will have your new abilities soon.' 

Darius smiled, he was still looking at the lion. "So a few minutes yeah?" Darius asked Azree, he was not going to be wasting time with the entire thing in front of him. 

"Yes, you will soon get the required upgrade so you will be able to win the fight in front of you." Azree gave him the reply he had been waiting for. 

Darius was not going to let anything make him feel a bit strange, he powered up and got ready to attack the Lion.

'I am doing this for Lena, I will not back down until I know that my sister has everything she needs for a speedy recovery and you will not be able to stop me!' Darius took his stand as he prepared to attack the Nubian Lion. 

He was not going to be backing down that easily, he looked at the beast in front of him and he knew that the only chance he would have was if he was going to make sure that there was no way for the beast would beat him in a fight. 

Darius launched with energy and power coursing through his fists, he was not going to lose anything to the beast in front of him rather he would win the fight and go home with a smile on his face rather than go back to his sister with a defeated look on his face. 

Darius tried to land a blow on the Lion's skull but then the beast dodged him again but this time Darius didn't let it walk away like that. He curved his movement and landed a blow on the lower region of the Lion. 

Darius had a warm smile on his face, he turned to look at the creature in front of him. "Sure you didn't see that one coming," 

Darius taunted the lion, when the massive beast turned to look at him with its mane flared up. It was not going to be letting Darius walk out after that, the Lion gave Darius a loud and scary roar. 

The Dungeon shook when the Lion released the roar, Darius stood his ground looking at the massive beast knowing that it was a sign that he was going to be fighting it in a death match now. 

"I think I made it mad," Darius said when he looked at the monster in front of him preparing to launch at him with all he had. 

"Notice, The upgrade is complete your skill set has been updated." Azree notified him, and Darius had a smile on his face. 

He took his stance, "Now we're talking! Tell me Azree what are the skills unlocked and what can I do with the powers?" 

"Due to your low level, I could only give you A-ranked powers, You now have the roar of the dragon king, which you can use to make lower creatures know that you are here. Then you have Draconic Blast, thanks to the Izan Alpha's sonokinetic powers you can use that to blast down enemies with a concentrated blast. Then thanks to the Alpha's biology, your sight and smell have been upgraded, and your speed has also increased." Azree gave Darius the rundown of all his powers and already he could see that there was no way for him to lose easily. 

"I think that would be enough to win this fight, I will handle this in a quick and orderly manner," Darius muttered he sounded confident that he was not going to lose a fight with the Nubian Lion and he was going to make sure that he would make it worth the rumble. 

Darius locked his eyes on the beast not letting it shift an inch from his eyes, he was looking at it with anger in his heart knowing that there was no way for him to make it out alive if he didn't put his all in the fight in front of him. 

'I know there is no way for me to beat this beast by just plainly attacking him like that.' Darius thought to himself, he looked at the Nubian Lion fixing himself and knowing that there was going to be a chance he would be in a pickle if he were not going to be careful with the way he was going to be facing the beast in front of him. 

"Here goes nothing!" Darius said as he took a stance waiting for the right time to strike, he didn't waste any second but then he dashed towards the Lion with all his might. He was not going to be using the element of surprise. 

Darius noticed that his speed had increased and he was not going to be wasting his strength doing anything that would bring down the beast in front of him. Darius lept into the air, sending the power to his fists, he was about to strike the Nubian when the beast looked up at him. 

There was a flare of pure aura coming from the creature, it was clear that if someone with lower power levels was there he would pass out. 

"What in the world is this beast trying to do?" Darius landed on his feet, he looked at the Lion he was not going to let it hurt him. 

Darius looked at the Lion, he didn't want to waste his time trying to avoid the monster's hits but then he was going to make sure that there was going to be something he could do to make sure that the Lion was going to be taken down. 

Darius turned to the Lion and was about to use his new power. "I have to make sure that this will take it down even for a few seconds so I will be able to strike it down!" 

Darius balanced himself and then took a deep breath before he was about to release it. "Draconic Blast!" 

Darius let out a roar, it was so strong that it shook the dungeon making the Lion stand down a bit. 

"Now's the time!" Darius said as he jumped up, he targeted the Lion's skull. 

Darius concentrated all his energy on his feet, he was about to deliver a blow that would kill it. 

"Dragon Kick!" Darius yelled as he landed an axe kick on the Lion's skull, the impact was so powerful it caused a chasm on the floor. 

The Nubian Lion was defeated, Darius fell to the floor as he looked at the beast he had taken down. 

'Dungeon Cleared, you have defeated the bosses." Azree gave Darius the notification. 

Darius lay down and smiled, "Finally!"
