Chapter 953: The Divine White Dragon
-----
Once I confirmed everything on my side was prepared, I looked back at my friends. Most were ready, but there was something they were missing, something very important that would keep them all alive. Something they didn't wanted to do right away because it had a short duration and drained them out of most of their Mana and Spirit Energy, but that was completely essential.
"What are you guys doing? You say you're ready, yet you have yet to fuse with any of your familiars?" I asked. "Do that immediately."
"What? But shouldn't be leave that for the latter half of the fight?" Chris asked. "If we do that right now…!"
"If you don't do it, you'll die." I told Chris and everyone else, with a cold voice, just to make them understand what they were getting themselves into. "Do it now, quickly. If you don't, I won't let you fight."
"Eh?!" Eric felt shocked. "Do we really need to?"
"You're looking down on the dragon just because you've grown strong and are together as a big party? You've never been so clueless as right now, my friend." I sighed. "Quickly, fuse with your strongest Spirit. Keep the others on standby, turn at least one into a shield or armor form too."
Everyone looked at one another in a bit of shock, but quickly nodded, fusing with their spirits one after another. Their appearances greatly changing, from common humans, they temporarily transcended into spiritual beings, overflowing with their respective elemental abilities.
"Good, Erika, Elizabeth, by my side. Eleanora, let's fuse too." I said. "After all the training, it should at least last ten minutes."
"Very well." Eleanora quickly merged with me, our clothes merged together alongside our weapons and our appearances. I had grown used to this much taller form, with long red hair. "Ready? Don't forget the formation. Everyone except Erdrich, Eleanora, and Elizabeth, get behind my Familiars.
Once we get inside, the chambers will close, and we won't be able to get out until we kill the dragon… or we blast the mountain apart to open a hole."
"Gulp…" Eric gulped saliva, nodding.
"Good, let's do this." I kicked the door stone doors open; the enormous sound made a tremor across the entire mountain.
We walked inside, as I brought all my familiars with me on a tight formation of five hundred units. The entirety of this cavern section was enormously big, so big all such units fit perfectly well inside. The army was composed mostly of my new units, while the Generals of the other types of Familiars were also present as the strongest.
My Unique Familiars were also present, hidden within my shadows for an ambush attack when I can get it.
The Mithril Drakes led the army, then behind them were the Queens, tougher, but more focused on magic than physical tanking like the soldiers. Behind them were the Dragonoids, riding the Queens. And then the Hydras, and then the Sea Serpents. The magician-focused units stayed at the back to bombard our foe with as much magic as possible.
Meanwhile, my friends were all behind. I stayed in the middle of the army with Erika and Elizabeth to my right and left, and Erdrich right behind me. My Vampire Familiars? All hidden in my shadows. They were all trump cards I would free as we fought, I can't reveal the dragon all my tricks yet after all.
The darkness of the room slowly lighted up, as the last member of our party entered, the gates behind closed shut. The dragon's eyes opened, his gigantic form moving within the shadows. His scales suddenly began shining with bright, white light.
As his eyes opened, we could only see two silver-colored stars, glaring down at us, shining with divinity beyond our own power.
"I've been watching you, children of men." He spoke with a rough, old voice. "I never expected that you foolish kind would ever dare enter my domain, yet here you are. Not older than seventeen years old, coming to die. Such a pitiful sight."
"We can solve this without fighting, actually." I spoke from afar. "Leave the mountain and never return, and nobody is fighting here."
"…" The Dragon's silver eyes shone brightly. "Insolent ant. You dare speak back to me? Amusing, it seems you mortals have grown bold. It has been eons since the Age of Old, now that mankind has inherited the world, you have grown foolish and conceited!"
"And what about you? while the Demons invade our world, you're lazing about here, while you could be fighting them to protect the world you live in? Who is the foolish one here? You're nothing but a coward, you speak with so much strength, yet you're nothing but a beast hiding from the outside world." I spoke back to him.
"…" His eyes continued shining brightly. "I will not entertain you anymore."
He didn't speak anything anymore; he didn't respond either. I knew it, deep down, this bastard knew he was a pathetic coward. A monster so strong, hiding from the world, instead of protecting it? He deserves what is coming for him.
In a split second after he spoke, his eyes released beams of silver flames, pulverizing the first line of Familiars in a split second. The Mithril Drakes died without even being able to move or defend, their health points dropping to zero the moment they were touched by those beams. Thirty units lost in a split second.
BOOOM!
"Your familiars, can't even take a single hit!" He roared, standing up as the entire caverns were illuminated by the radiance of his scales. His enormous draconic figure revealed. A beautiful dragon of silvery-white scales, yet there were countless scars covering him. His wings were also worn down and looked unable to fly. "You call yourself a Summoner?! HAH!
PATHETIC!"
He quickly kicked the ground, rushing towards us at a moderate speed. Yet because his over a hundred-meter-tall body was so immense, a single step was like moving dozens of meters at once. In just a few seconds, he was already above us! freewebnøvel.com
"Do you think I'll have mercy after the words you've spat, human?! DIE AGONIZINGLY!"
His jaws opened, as he went all-out from the start, a sea of silver flames engulfed us all.
BOOOMMM!!!
