Rebirth of a Dungeon Master

With the pulsating beats of "Megalovania" filling the air, the tension between Safi and Hinata reached a fever pitch.

 

Hinata's blade gleamed in the dim light as she lunged at Safi, her figure blurring. While Safi, using her enhanced reflexes, sidestepped the attack.

Hinata’s eyes widened as she flew right on by the massive dragon which had just completely and totally dogged her.

 

Safi smirked at the shocked look and retaliated with a barrage of electrical blasts. 

 

Hinata, undeterred, dodged the first few blasts but was forced to deflect one with her magisteel blade. Realizing at the last moment that magisteel blade meeting electricity would hurt.

 

Safi watch as Hinata screamed in pain her entire body twitching uncontrollably as her hand death gripped her blade and she was shot backwards by the power of her own muscles snapping into place. 

 

"Didn't think that through, did you?" Safi taunted, her eyes glowing brighter.

 

Hinata gritted her teeth, pushing herself back to her feet. "You won't win this," she spat, her determination unyielding despite the pain.

 

Safi chuckled darkly. "Let's see about that."

 

Hinata charged again, this time with more caution. Safi, confident in her superiority, met her charge head-on. The clash of steel against scale filled the air, each strike sending sparks flying. Hinata's speed and skill were impressive, but Safi's sheer power and reflexes kept her one step ahead.

 

With a swift movement, Safi swept Hinata off her feet with her tail, sending her crashing into a nearby rock formation. Hinata coughed, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth as she struggled to rise.

 

Safi could feel her energy levels dropping—down below 60% now. She needed to end this quickly. "You're persistent, I'll give you that," she said, charging another powerful electrical blast.

 

Hinata dodged just in time, rolling to the side and throwing a knife imbued with holy energy at Safi. The blade struck true, lodging in one of Safi's scales and causing her to roar in pain.

 

58%, Safi thought, the fight taking its toll on her reserves. She unleashed another barrage of electrical orbs, forcing Hinata to dodge frantically. The ground lit up with each explosion, creating an almost surreal battleground as arcs of lightning flew in the sky.

 

Hinata, desperate, activated her unique skill, Usurper, attempting to siphon Safi's power. Safi felt a tug at her core but managed to resist, countering with a devastating swipe that sent Hinata reeling.

 

43%, Safi realized, annoyance creeping in. She needed to conserve energy, but Hinata wasn't giving her any time to recover.

 

Hinata staggered to her feet, clearly battered but far from defeated. "I'll stop you... no matter the cost," she vowed, her resolve shining through her pain.

 

Safi, down to 41%, knew she had to make her final move count. She channeled 50% of her remaining power into a single, massive beam aimed directly at Hinata.

 

Hinata, eyes wide, raised her blade in a last-ditch effort to deflect the attack. The beam collided with her sword, causing a massive explosion of energy. When the dust settled, both combatants were left panting, barely able to stand.

 

Safi, anticipating the assault, activated her nanite shields. Sparks flew the microscopic machines were cut off burning in the air as the blade met the mystical metal of Safi’s chassis, and Safi used the momentary clash to launch herself backward, creating distance.

 

"You talk big, but can you back it up?" Hinata taunted, her eyes narrowing.

 

"Try me," Safi retorted, her dragon form crackling with energy.

Hinata groaned, but quickly recovered, her eyes blazing with determination. She summoned her strength and unleashed a powerful energy slash, the arc cutting through the air towards Safi.

 

Safi didn’t even bother avoiding the attack. Did it hurt her? Not really, did it look cool yeah! She could feel her energy reserves were low now. She needed to end this quickly.

 

“That’s not fair!” Hinata shouts

 

“Deal with it then!” Safi shouts as suddenly all of the floating blasters she had in the air opened fire flooding the sky with light the beams heading straight for Hinata.

 

Hinata deflected and dodged as best as she could, but the relentless assault was overwhelming.

 

In a desperate bid, Hinata charged through the onslaught, her blade aimed straight at Safi's head. Safi braced herself and, at the last second, redirected the energy from her core into a focused beam, meeting Hinata's charge head-on.

 

The collision created a blinding flash of light, and the ground trembled from the force of their clash. When the dust settled, both combatants stood panting, their bodies battered but unbroken.

 

Safi's energy levels had dropped to a critical 2%, but she couldn't give up. She growled, ready to continue the fight. Safi was worried, her vision pixelated. She had given everything, and it still wasn't enough.

 

Hinata, bloodied but resolute, raised her blade. "This ends now," she declared.

 

With a roar, Safi fired a concentrated beam from her maw, aiming directly at Hinata. Hinata rolled to the side, barely evading the attack as the beam scorched the ground where she had stood. She used the momentum to spring forward, slashing at Safi with deadly precision.

 

Safi blocked with her forelimb, but the force of the blow forced her to step back for balance. Yet that was it, Safi had powered down collapsing. 

 

"Is that all you've got?" Hinata panted, bleeding from her mouth, her clothes torn up, and her entire body covered in second and third-degree burns.

 

Hinata walked up, stumbling as her adrenaline wore off, and lightly poked the dragon with her sword. Safi's body remained motionless, her systems completely shut down from the power drain.

 

Hinata took a deep breath, her own body barely holding together. She sheathed her blade, acknowledging the fierce battle they had just endured. "You fought well," she murmured, suddenly coughing up blood.

 

"S-shit," Hinata mumbled as the world spun and the sky became the ground, which was fast approaching.

 

The barrier broke as the magicians holding it up ran in, panicking to help their commander. They rushed to Hinata’s side, their faces pale with worry.

 

“Commander! Are you alright?” one of the magicians asked, his voice trembling.

 

Suddenly there was a scream as all the mages turned to look and the massive metal dragon was gone.
