Chapter 58- The Combat

I

“Now, ladies and gentlemen, the one-on-one combat between the Master Dragon and the Lycan Duke of Sussex will start now. We have to understand that these two powerful creatures will fight in their human forms and shall not shift either use any of their supernatural powers. They will fight in their human forms and through their human strengths. Whoever cheated will be automatically considered as a loser.” The Master referred of the combat, who was at the center already, announced.

Then he called on the two warring parties and repeated to them the rules. As he whistled, loud and long, the one-on-one combat between Dareon and Duke Simon started.

Both of them are now half-naked; what was left with Duke Simon was his Prince’s trouser while for Dareon was his Sultan’s salvar or baggy trouser.

Both their chests showed rippling muscles showing their strengths. They were both epitomes of Godly men that can be adored and swoon to by many women.

Duke Simon made a low lunge position with one hand on the ground, his eyes focus on his opponent. Seeing the Duke’s stance Dareon made his silent Inhaling pattern, his dragon’s way of making his body light for easy aerial maneuvers.

Dareon knew that the Duke will be using his fast leg works in running and leaping and then will blow him with his deadly scissor-style kicks and when he is down already, he will sweep him off, and then his wolf claws will grab him either by the neck or heart to reap it. He will not allow that to happen.

So, when the Duke ran then jumped and moved his legs into a scissor kick targeting Dareon’s chest part, Dareon used his dragon martial arts style of lightly lifting his body up and like swaying into the wind, his body summersault like cotton and he landed swiftly his feet on the ground, few inches away from the back of the Lycan Duke. The Dragon Master made a deliberate exhalation in a tense and controlled manner, for doing so will drive power into each of his movements. It was like he was putting the energy into that part of his body that he is going to use for a deadly technique. So, when he jumped and made that half circling motion with his right leg, the hissing sound of the wind could be heard, giving the highest energy that his feet need to tumble down his opponent. When Dareon’s roundhouse kick hit the neck of the Lycan Duke; the latter was surprised not knowing where that strength of Dareon came from. The Duke flew but halfway before his body could touch the ground, Dareon jumped lightly into the air as if following the falling body of the Duke with his feet in a lunge position while his hand was in his dragon claw form. As the body of Duke Simon landed on the ground, he was automatically pinned down by Dareon’s right knee while his left leg was in a diagonal line style at the back, ready to block any of the Duke’s counter-attack through his feet, while his dragon claw-like hand was on a tight grip already with the Duke’s neck that any wrong movement of the Lycan Duke, his neck will be outrightly ripped apart by Dareon’s claw.

It was already the dead-end for the Duke of Sussex, so the King of Sussex, immediately threw his white handkerchief into the air and it landed right beside Duke Simon. The King of Sussex wanted to save the life of his son, even if it means an act of cowardice.

Seeing the situation and what the King of Sussex did; the master referee ran beside Duke Simon and the master dragon, made a long whistle and motioned his arms stopping the fight.

There was a commotion around when Dareon stood up as the master referee held his hand up declaring him as the winner in the combat.

Princess Shelyca was in tears as she stood up wanting to run to hug Dareon. But before Princess Shelyca could run to Dareon, Duke Simon took the opportunity that everyone’s focus was with the Master Dragon; he swiftly stood up then ran and quickly grabbed Princess Shelyca’s shoulders.

The Lycan Princess was so shocked that she was not able to move right away, but when she saw the fangs of Duke Simon coming out into his mouth, she immediately guessed his intention and that was to mark her as his mate. Princess Shelyca suddenly came to her senses. She used all her force to resist the Duke of Sussex in his intention to mark her. She frantically called on her wolf, Sheenei to take over and just a matter of milliseconds, Princess Shelyca shifted into her wolf form and ran.

Duke Simon lost the fight but he has no intention to honor the truce between the Dragon Lord and the King of Sussex. He would never accept his defeat. He immediately shifted also into his wolf form and chased the running wolf of Princess Shelyca.

When Dareon’s attention was caught by the two running wolves, his eyes squinted and emitted such anger that only the Dragon Lord can control. Without wasting any time, Dareon shifted into his dragon form and flew speedily chasing the running white wolf of her wife. As he came nearer, his dragon claws snatched the running Lycan Princess’ wolf and then speedily flew up; away from the Kingdom of Sussex.

Duke Simon’s wolf growled so loud because of anger; once again the master dragon defeated him and made him look like a fool in everyone’s eyes.
