"It seems our gracious S class Adventure Victor has given our champion a good weapon to battle with! This will make it more interesting! Now guards release the beast!" Gabe shouted as the massive cage split open revealing a monster that was the same size as an elephant.
It has scales as large as my fist covering its brown body. It had the head of a dragon but now wings instead on is forelegs were two large wing like flaps that extended from its claws to its elbows.
Its back legs were thick and muscular with a large tail swinging in between them. The thick scales still extending all over its body expect its small arm flaps.
Still as it looked down at me it raised itself by leaning back on its hind legs and puffed out its chest.
I could even see its chest glow a little as its brown eyes landed on me as it let out a menacing growl.
All in all I knew it wasn't a dragon maybe a subspecies but then I used [Analysis] on it.

A race of drake that is found deep in the Gullion dungeon and deep mountain ranges. This particular species is known for its large amount of health and endurance. Its most powerful attacks are its breath attack and its earth magic know as earth tremor. Any attack damage that lands on its scales is reduced by 75%.
Status- It's really hungry and Percy looks like a great meal.]
I just stared at this Earth Drake as I slowly thought to myself.
'Fuck me.' Let's just say I was not looking forward to this fight.
….
After my own self-pity party about not wanting to face this I was immediately forced to move, due to a massive claw slamming down on the ground I was just standing on.
With a well place roll I avoided the strike that made the ground explode and be thrown up into the air. But as I avoided the flying rocks I was on my feet again as I barely had time to dodge another blow from its other claw as it was coming right for my face.
It seemed like the Earth drake was hungrier than I first thought as I ducked under the blow just barely enough to feel the razor sharp claws trim some of my hair.
As I barely managed to duck under his other claw strike by mere centimeters I wasn't fast enough to dodge the massive tail coming my way.
It was about as thick as a three to be honest and looked like it was going to hurt, the only thing I could do as it swept right above the ground was block it.
I could only jump into the air at a backwards angle and use the sword as a shield as I tucked my body behind it.
Then the tail hit me like a train as I was flung about 100 feet across the arena as I tumbled like a bolder for about 20 feet.
Thanks to me being launched many a time in this arena I had gotten used to landing in a role like fashion as I safely returned to my feet after a few more roles.
But as I did I coughed out a mouthful of blood that tasted like iron, still I swallowed down the rest in my mouth as I slowly steadied myself.
It was then I took a look at my health.
[HP 3000/3250]
That tail strike alone was enough to take away 250 health and that was with me blocking with a magical sword and my acrobatics to jump back and to absorb some of the blow.
Still that wasn't even the most deadly part of him or her that worried me. If his tail did 250 damage then what kind of damage would his claws do?
Or worse yet what kind of damage would his teeth do or even his breath attack and magic do? I could only shiver as I thought about it and tried to formulate a plan to end this thing in front of me.
I was more than likely going to have to use [Greek Swordplay] to keep myself alive, kind of obvious there.
But with such a large sword it was going to be difficult to meet the prerequisites to even use that swordplay. I would have to use this sword that the adventure gave me with just one hand no matter what.
Even if I placed both hands on it once during the battle then there would change to [Medieval Swordplay] and [Greek Swordplay] would be on a 5 min cooldown.
That is what you could call a major flaw in swordplay switching system but I guess I was going to have to live with it and raise [Medieval Swordplay] to the same as [Greek Swordplay] if I was planning on using both two handed swords and one handed swords and get the same amount of damage. But I paid that no mind as I focused on the little angrier than usual Earth drake in front of me.
"Roar!" The earth drake shouted as I wiped the blood from my lip as I readied myself my plan slowly forming in my head as I observed my foe.
I took a deep breath and charged the drake as I held the Saints Sword in one hand ready to unleash the full power of my swordplay.
Thankfully the sword was lighter than my claymore which helped a lot but even with my strength it still felt around 150 pounds and had an imbalance that I didn't like.
But then again now was not the time to complain as I ducked under its claw it used to decapitate me with its razor sharp claws.
