Chapter 18: CHAPTER 17

[The Elder Dragon is the ancestor of all dragons and the progenitor of the dragon race. He is the object of worship for all dragons, and his ideal which has been passed down from generation to generation is what makes them the craziest and most honorable race in the entire world.

Present day dragons are interested in one thing and one thing only, battle. This stems from the Battle Frenzy passed down through their genes. Battle Frenzy is a Greda every dragon possesses from birth which temporarily triples all the qualities of a dragon. This is part of what makes them the most fearsome race on Deva.

The other reason that makes them the most powerful race is the fact that they have the best starting point and growth potential of all races. Whatever you mention, be it Hani, strength or even vitality, they are all at a higher level when compared to the other races.

The dragons may sound like an unbeatable race, but they have one fatal flaw which can potentially be used to defeat them. When they use Battle Frenzy, they lose their sense of rationality and are driven by their instincts and emotions. Using this flaw, it is possible to get them caught in a trap.

However, this is easier said than done. There are few people who even have power rivaling a dragon, let alone possessing power that can defeat a dragon. This is why the dragons can retain their title as the world's most powerful race.

The dragons are a generally reclusive race who don't care about worldly matters and only live to fight..............Excerpt from: DRAGONS: SAVIOURS OR THREAT?]

[George's POV]

I was left in shock by Rachel's betrayal.

How could she leave me like that? Weren't we on the same side?

As I watched her race away into the distance, Alex walked up next to me while laughing his head off.

"Oh my, she actually left you and ran off? I'm really impressed by her sense of self-preservation."

He gazed at me without blinking.

"I hope this doesn't make you distrustful of people. I like my Georges nice and stupid."

I felt anger welling up in me at his words.

"Don't call me stupid, Alex!"

"What are you going to do about it? It doesn't look like you're in any shape to be making any requests."

Lost in my anger from his insulting words and being used as a sacrifice, I felt strength welling up in me, so I waved my knife in his direction.

"Aaarrrghhh!"

He quickly fell back, trying to dodge it, but still got cut across his face. He got up then touched his face, as if in disbelief, then brought it to his eyes.

"You actually injured my face? It looks like you really want to die, bastard!"

He lunged towards me with his knife, aiming at my abdomen as his lackeys watched.

He's coming! I need to dodge!

I rolled to the side, gritting my teeth at the pain from moving my leg. I managed to escape the knife hitting my stomach but it caught my side instead.

"Uggghhh!"

I tried to make it to my feet while I felt wetness spread across my clothes.

Come on! If I don't make it out while on the ground, I'll die here!

Alex picked himself up from the ground while I was struggling to my feet.

When he saw that Alex had failed to get a clean hit on me, Carter tried to step in but got stopped by Alex

"Don't get any closer! I'll finish him off myself."

"If you say so."

I finally made it to my feet to see Alex gripping his knife and getting in a fighting stance.

Does Alex know how to use a knife?  I thought he was always hiding behind Carter because he couldn't fight. Why did he conceal it?

Alex dashed towards me while making a downward slash aiming for my chest when I had finally found my balance.

"This is bad! I won't be able to dodge!"

Once again, I tried to throw myself to the side. It was actually interesting how all the falling training was helping me in my current predicament. Had not been in mortal danger, I probably would have laughed about it.

My attempt at dodging came a second too late. Alex's knife cut me squarely across my chest while I was trying to fall.

"Aaarrrghhh!"

It hurts so much!

I was rolling around on the ground. My consciousness was slowly slipping away in the midst of the pain.

When I finally thought I be able to escape from the pain, I felt another stabbing pain similar to the one I felt when Rachel stabbed me, but this time in my hand holding the knife.

"AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHH!"

I let out a spine wrenching scream as my hand was impaled on the ground by Alex's knife.

Alex was just watching me in the midst of my suffering with a sadistic smile on his face.

"How does it feel George? You shouldn't have offended me! This is what happens to people who offend me! Just like that peasant who dared to obstruct my carriage!"

In the midst of my pain, I didn't realize the gravity of his words. He'd actually done this before!

Alex turned to Carter.

"You remember that time, right?"

"Yeah, it was really amusing when he begged us to just kill him already."

"Right?"

He turned back towards me. By this time, I had regained some of my senses.

I need to escape! If I don't, I might die here!

I raised my wavering hand to try to pull the knife out, as Alex watched on, bemused.

I gripped the knife, then yanked it out with great force.

"Mmmmm!"

I dropped it on the ground, then tried to get up, when I felt a heavy blow on my face.

Alex had kicked me!

He looked like he was going to burst out laughing any second.

"Do you really think I would let you get up? If you were smart, you would've known that the right thing to do in this situation would be to play dead until you found an opportunity."

He picked up the bloody knife then walked leisurely towards me.

"Let me give you another stab. Will you try to get up again? I can't wait to find out."

He then plunged the knife towards my uninjured hand.

"AAAAAARRRGGGHHH."

Alex started to laugh like a maniac.

"That was a nice scream. But it doesn't feel as loud as before. That's a problem."

As he was about to go for another stab, a voice came from nowhere.

"Hold it right there!"
