Rise Of The Dragon Emperor

As a child Augustus used to tell Ronan and Percy the story of the true phoenix. Till this day , Percy remembered that story distinctly.

As a kid Percy was afraid of fires that were too hot as they burned his skin and because of that he would always use weaker flames. He felt that because his body was not strong enough and that he was just a kid that he could not handle stronger flames but Augustus's story broke that myth for him.

Augustus said ' My child , do you think that the phoenix the progenitor of fire is immune from fire damage? '

It was a perplexing question for the Draco kids who always felt like they had seen the phoenix in pictures to be constantly surrounded by flames , as if it was one with fire itself.

However Augustus just chuckled and showed them the reality of the phoenix's flames as he said ' The flames of the phoenix are so powerful my child that they can burn the bones of the phoenix itself and turn them to ashes!

The phoenix does cover it's body with flames but it never lets it touch itself. A minimum of 2 centimetres gap is always present between it's skin and it's fire!

Don't be afraid of flames , embrace them and if your flames are not strong enough to burn your very essence , then i think you boys will shame our ancestor Mrs. phoenix by calling yourself her descendants.

HAHAHAHA'.

The laugh of the old man resounded in Percy's ears as he remembered that childhood memory as clear as a crystal to this day.

' I'm no longer afraid of flames , grandpa ' Percy thought as he looked at his injured little brother and erupted in a ball of flames.

Scorching heat eminated from Percy's body as he became covered in flames so strong that the rock beneath his feet started to melt from the sheer heat!

The audience erupted in cheers to see the first prince power up superbly , however the sect leaders watched on as if Percy Draco was a madman.

Being covered in flames meant that he was going to drain out his elemental essence faster and lose stamina faster too , it was not a practical move to be used and only looked flashy, however the calculating man that Percy was , he was sure to not make such a novice mistake.

Ronan looked at the wall of flames and could feel the heat from even 20 meters distance. It was a deterrent for him to not close in on his brother anymore as even he could not punch Percy past that walk of flames unless he had a death wish.

Percy was technically forcing his hand to play long range and Ronan was going to comply. Using his skill " Thunder Lance" Ronan started to throw thunder lightning bolts at Percy in rapid succession.

KABOOM! KABOOM! KABOOM!

Ronan's lightning strikes made thunderous booms as they exploded near Percy, however the elder brother was able to negate most of the damage while being able to dodge most attacks or neutralize them.

He was on the hunt now that Ronan was injured and while he forced Ronan to play from long-range it was actually all part of his careful plan as he was confident in overwhelming his brother from long range.

Taking in a deep breath , Percy started to concentrate on performing the one move that he practiced diligently since childhood.

The one move that he felt had a strong resonation with his blood itself as it did not feel like a burden to practice it but rather a joy!

Percy chanted " OOO HOLY PHOENIX , THE CONSUMER OF ALL EVIL , COME FORTH AND PUNISH THOSE WHO HAVE WRONGED ME , AND MAKE THEM REALIZE THE TRUE MEANING OF FIRE ".

GRAND MOVE : WRATH OF THE PHOENIX!

The giant flames that had shot up towards the sky now combined to form a brilliant Phoenix , emmitting heat soo hot that the wind barriers for the audience's protection failed to contain the heat of the move as the audience started to sweat like they were in a sauna.

Ronan's eyes widened in disbelief, this move was the same move his father had used to destroy the temple priest many years ago. The legendary move of the ancestor of the phoenix clan!

It was a move that was only taught to the scions of the phoenix clan that were sure to succeed as the next clan leader!

It was rumoured to be only possible to summon by warriors of level 120 or above , yet Percy could use it at level 109!

Even Alexander came to his feet when he saw the giant phoenix in the air as he had disbelief plastered all over his face.

He had no idea when his eldest son mastered this move and he felt scared for the life of his second son now that it had been unleashed.

The power of that move was simply something else and it was not a move that was supposed to be used on family members!

' WHAT THE HELL IS HE THINKING? ' , Alexander contemplated stopping the match and intervening. However before he could move a muscle he felt Sierra 's hand stopping his arms.

Alexander was shocked to see that Sierra stopped him from moving , as she was the one who was not even looking at the match anymore. However with determined eyes she shook his head as she said " Your son is stronger than you beleive ".

Staring at the massive phoenix infront of him , Ronan felt incredible pressure as he stopped throwing his lightning bolts and prepared to defend .

With a smile on his face he taunted the phoenix as he murmured ' Bring it ... '
