An Extra’s POV

"Haha…" A voice echoed in the area behind the pile of smoke.

In a powerful gust of wind—most likely caused by the Dragon's whipped tail—the smoke cleared.

The humanoid silhouette of the Dragon emerged, and its twisted smile returned to its pale and handsome face.

"… Not bad, human."

He had an amused expression, and his cool gaze greeted Adonis' intense one.

All of the unease it displayed earlier seemed to have completely vanished—as if they never existed, to begin with.

"Your Skills are the real deal. But, it seems your Level is the issue." As the Dragon said this, a bigger smile crept up on his face.

Adonis could feel more tension wrapping around him.

"It seems I was worried for nothing, human. I don't know how you got so much power, or how you're able to use it so well, but…"

He stretched out both hands, as if welcoming an embrace.

"… You're still very weak!"

Adonis bit his lip the moment these words were uttered.

His opponent wasn't wrong.

'As expected, even though my Stats are heightened, they still don't compare to a Dragon Commander…'

Even his Skills weren't operating at optimal potential.

'My Divine Sword has 6 Forms, but right now I can only use its base state…'

And what of his [Absolute Defense]?

Well, the Skill of the Dragon felt like a hard counter to Adonis' defenses.

'To conserve Mana, I concentrated my defenses in predictable areas, but with this teleportation of his, I'd have to rethink my strategy.'

Just to be on the safer side, Adonis knew he'd have to buff up his defenses and ensure they circulated all around him.

He couldn't afford to be hit at this point.
