Eight Dragon Lacrima's

"Who is it now?" Hiouis questions the man jumping down.

"It's always one thing after another... but this was to be expected after I turned down that refusal." Sueong states, "You're probably gonna be the next one to stall me so another Spriggan shows up to aid, well I'm not sticking around for that."

"Oh? No need to worry about that. Only three spriggan members were dispatched after you, including me." Serena said, "I'm guessing you got passed Dimaria and Eehto, leaving only me to get the job done."

"And why should I believe that?" Sueong asks.

"That's up to you to decide if I'm telling the truth or not and I'd reconsider joining us if were you, there will lay good fortune once you offer us a hand." The man assures.

"Like I said, it's never gonna happen in your wildest dreams." Seoung declines yet again, "Now then, about you-" He notices something off about this guy, "His scent... he's a dragon slayer as well?"

"What did you say?!" Chelliel is stunned by that.

"Another dragon slayer in this place, aside from that Irene lady earlier?" Hiouis is too.

"You finally noticed, huh? Ice dragon slayer?" The man then reveals himself, "It is I who uses eight different Dragon Slaying Lacrima's that are implanted inside of me. In turn, I have granted the power over those elements as a 2nd Generation Dragon Slayer."

"That's insane, you're telling me you're body is able to handle all of that?" Sueong asks, a little taken back.

"Of course. Hence I am known as the Eight-Dragon, God Serena." He introduces, with arms wide out in a pose.

"This is ridiculous..." Hiouis is taken back too.

"I can't even tell if he's strong or below that Irene lady." Chelliel states, "They're both dragon slayers with different powers."

"A 2nd generation dragon slayer, huh." Sueong scoffs, "One thing after another."

"You didn't look that shocked when I mentioned 2nd generation." Serena notices.

"There's no reason that I should. My father, Icigoneal, told me all about that stuff, there being dragon slayers from various generations, 4 of them at that." Sueong replies, before getting in fighting stance, "But enough wasting time, you'll be forced out of the way too."

"Pfft, Hahahaha!" Serena laughs a little crazy, "Let's see if those words can be back up, shall we." He then attacks, "**Dragon God's fang!"** 8 Rainbow colored dragons come from beneath the ground and start flying towards the trio.

They scatter and dodge all of them, before Sueong gets out his Ice blade, "You'll be dealt with in quick fashion!" he goes to slice him, but Serena blocks it on point with one of his back wheel blades, which the latter chuckles. Sueong ain't done and encases his hand in ice before touching the wheel blade, planning on freezing it solid/shattering it, however Serena catches notice and pushes him off, now gaining distance.

**"Ice Make: Bird!"** Sueong makes/launches at his way.

"Child's play." Serena counters with a string lightning, destroying the ice bird, but that was just a decoy as Sueong already appears with a sword of ice around his arm and swings to strike him, which serena counters with spiral wind surround his hands.

Sueong makes another Ice blade and they then get into close combat fighting, looking almost evenly matched. Out of the two, Serena's physical strength would push sueong back and give heavy attacks while Sueong's fast sword play would keep serena on his toes without rest.

"Evenly matched..." Hiouis comments, "Neither one of them is backing down."

After 10 more seconds, Serena gets through sueong's defenses and finally lands a quick punch to his cheek, but the latter doesn't then throws his other sword in the air, while using his arm sword to attack. Serena of course keeps up, but by the time the other ice sword came down sueong grabs it and then gives Serena a good slash to his left face, which he snickers before blowing sueong back, both of them at distance.

"That was a sight to see." Chelliel admits.

"Bravo, that was a splendid first round." Serena says in a dramatic fashion, "Now onward to round two."

"Hmph." Sueong doesn't care and is just ready.

Serena then attacks, **"Sea Dragon King's: Encircling Deluge!"** With a wave of his fist, a high-pressure of spiraling water makes it's way.

"That's huge!" Chellial exclaims, watching the fight with hiouis.

"Useless attack." Sueong waves his hands, **"Freeze!"** He immediately froze the spiral water.

**"Purgatory Dragon: Blazing Inferno!"** Serena unleashes from his left palm.

**"Ice Dragon's: Roar!"** Sueong counter attacks, which they collide in the process, coming to a stand still.

"Evenly matched." Hiouis comments.

"That fire will be frozen." Sueong continues.

"Heh, In that case..." Serena uses his right palm, **"Sea King Dragon's: Water Vortex!"** He mixes both fire and water.

"!" He breaks off his Ice roar seeing as it was pushed back and is forced to get floated, "Gahugh!" He's caught in the river of water while fire surrounds it.

"Sueong!" Chellial exclaims in concern.

"Both fire and water at the same time? Unbelievable!" Hiouis is stunned too.

"Agh, Enough of this..." Sueong grows annoyed at this stream of water/fire before forcing his way fight it, **"Ice Dragon's: Freezing Edge!"** In a swift move, he freezes the water around him before making a huge explosion of ice to counter the fire, breaking free in the proceed, "Phew."

"Incredible... it's almost an Ice field out there." Chelliel is amazed.

"One of Sueong's brand new techniques he achieved during training." Hiouis smirks at seeing it off, "No way he's gonna lose and get captured by these spriggan losers. They have another thing coming."

"Magnificent, You're doing better than expected, even if I haven't gone all out yet." Serena boasts.

"What are you smirking about? I haven't gone all out yet either." Sueong confirms too, "So what point are you getting at.

"My point is that we should stop wasting time and bring this fight to a close and join hands." Serena reveals, "After all, both of us are the same. You and I both want to hunt down and slay Acnologia."

"..." Sueong only listens, frowning of course, "Irene has already tried saying this line to make me join, what makes you think that you're little speech is any better?"

"Except, I'm different." Serena grins, "The reason I defected here to Alveraz from Isghar and became a spriggan was all so I could locate and slay Acnologia." He adds, "You want the same, right? So why not abandon that guild and tattoo you have on you're shoulder and let's be pal's." He offers a hand, "Together, you and I can take down acnologia, he'll be no match for us both."

"We've heard this line already, there's no way sueong's gonna comply." Hiouis shrugs, knowing the outcome.

"Yeah, you're right." Chellial agrees.

Sueong thinks for a second and replies, "I'll consider it then."

"That's just what wanted to hear." Serena smirks.

"Huh?!" Hiouis exclaims as he and chellial never expected his answer, "No way..." She mutters.

But Sueong reveals in truth, "That is if you quit being a Spriggan yourself and follow me, especially if you want us to work together that badly."

Serena didn't expect this answer and his eyes are darkened.

"Same goal? So what if we do. Least I don't stab my friends in the back just for that one purpose. I don't even want to team up with someone like you." Sueong states straight up, "Oh, and to tell you the truth, I plan on killing that dragon myself, so like it or not, being a spriggan is out of the question, don't need any of you."

Serena takes a few seconds and then menace grins sarcastically, "Fine, then I'll just have to beat you senseless to the point of dragging you off."

"Heh, I'd like to see you try." Sueong prepares, "You'll be frozen and shattered when this is over."

"Uh-oh... things are about to get serious up in here." Hiouis says.

"I can tell and feel their magic powers are rising." Chellial nods.

With his eyes turning black, Serena claps his hands to the ground, **"Cavern Dragon's: Earth Collapse!"** A large explosive radius is unleashed, destroying the ground.

"!" Sueong is lifted off his feet and into the air.

"Earth magic?!" Chellial exclaims.

"Forming an earthquake at that, how extreme!" Hiouis adds.

While in mid-air, Sueong thinks fast, **"Ice-make: Lance!"** He puts his fist over palm and fires at serena.

Serena only grins excitingly and counters, **"Tempest Dragon's: Great Breach!"** He fires spiral wind from his hands and blows away the lance, hitting sueong as well.

"Gah!" He's sent flying and crashes into a building.

"Sueong!" Chellial/Hiouis exclaim in surprise.

After a few seconds, He comes out of the mess, having a few injuires on him, "I'm not out of the game yet as that was nothing." He then spits out, "Automatically, I'm turning this fight around."

"Did I hear that right? You turning something around against isghar's strongest wizard?" Serena boasts.

"Could care less if you're the 'strongest' former ishgar wizard or whatever. It's all the same to beat you." Sueong then stretches his hand back/in a stance, "And this is also a great opportunity to test new techniques on you as you're mighty confident."

"Oh really? I'd like to see that." Serena is excited for this fight, "That is if you get the chance."

He immediately touches the ground, a wave of Ice plummeting towards Serena.

Taking a deep breath, **"Gale Dragon's: Song of Moon and Wind!"** He releases a large gust of wind, counter the ice wave, and getting through.

**"Wall!"** Sueong stomps his feet and the Ice wall counters the attack, almost blowing through.

*"That Ice has great defense if it's managing to block my Gale roar."* Serena thought.

"You're on thin Ice." Sueong uses the Ice field and takes this chance to attack, **"Ice Dragon's: Glacial Strike!"** Pillars of Ice strike Serena from below, lifting him high.

"What?!" Serena is taken by surprise as he's losing balance.

"And now for..." Sueong jumps to his level and gather magic power in his right arm/encasing in huge ice.

"Here it comes." Hiouis smirks, knowing what's next, to which chellial doesn't get.

"It's getting cold all of a sudden." Chellial shivers a bit, "What's he using?"

"He freezes even the air when using moves like these." Hiouis reveals.

Sueong grins and then attacks, **"Ice Dragon King's: Polar Fist!"** He lands a devastating strike on serena.

"GHA!" Struck by the stomach, Serena is sent plummeting and crashes into the ground.

Sueong lands on the Ice pillar, "This is where arrogance get you." He stares down at the injured Serena, "Being the strongest of a country you formerly represented means nothing to me, an Ice dragon slayer." He declares as the wind blows through the sky.
