The Mighty Dodoria

"Boom..."

Dodoria's energy blast was devastating. Amid a tremendous surge of energy like raging waves, the spot where Vegeta stood had been razed to the ground.

Dust filled the air, shrouding the entire area.

Dodoria gasped for breath. A few seconds later, he dropped onto his backside, beads of sweat rolling down his face.

"Heh, heh, you had it coming, Vegeta!" Dodoria could barely catch his breath, but his face was covered in smiles.

What was more, all the bulk on his body had vanished. In fact, he had grown much thinner, as though he had just suffered a serious illness.

"Dodoria, I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed."

Just as Dodoria breathed a sigh of relief, a familiar voice suddenly came from ahead.

Dodoria sprang up from the ground as though he had been electrocuted, his whole body trembling and his face slack with shock.

The dust gradually cleared, revealing Vegeta's figure bit by bit.

"Th-this is impossible!" Dodoria cried out, staring at Vegeta as though he were a monster, cold sweat pouring down his back.

"What's impossible?" Vegeta sneered.

In truth, Vegeta wasn't doing well either.

Just moments earlier, as Dodoria's devastating energy blast surged toward him, Vegeta had discovered to his delight that the hidden energy within his body had suddenly begun circulating on its own at that critical instant.

A moment later, Vegeta sensed his power level rising rapidly.

Seizing the opportunity, Vegeta crossed his arms over his head and braced himself against the oncoming energy blast.

He had withstood it, but Dodoria's blast had been so powerful that Vegeta had suffered serious injuries in the process.

But as Vegeta looked Dodoria over now, he suddenly felt amused. Apparently, this fellow had burned through his power even faster than Vegeta had.

Vegeta reckoned Dodoria had very little energy left.

"Dodoria, that last move wasn't bad. You nearly sent me off to report to King Yemma." Vegeta smiled, secretly gathering his energy so he could finish Dodoria off.

Dodoria's broad face filled with terror. His eyes darted about, his lips quivered, and his legs shook uncontrollably.

"Aah..."

The next instant, Dodoria let out a terrified cry and sprinted toward the spaceship.

Vegeta was alarmed. If Dodoria escaped now, all his efforts would have been for nothing.

Besides, Dodoria had wounded him badly. He had to get revenge!

Vegeta swiftly raised his energy, light flaring in his hand as a golden beam shot straight toward Dodoria.

"Squelch..."

Dodoria suddenly stopped running. He stared in shock at the golden light piercing his chest as purplish-black blood gushed out.

"Thud!"

Dodoria collapsed helplessly to the ground, unable to get back up.

Vegeta let out a cold chuckle and approached him step by step.

Now, even taking a single step was difficult for him.

This battle had nearly exhausted Vegeta's energy, and he had suffered serious injuries as well.

But when he reached Dodoria's side, his expression suddenly changed.

Dodoria had abruptly opened his eyes.

Damn it, he's still alive!

How is this guy so tough?

Vegeta braced himself for a formidable foe. If Dodoria still had any fight left in him, he would be in danger.
