*ROAAAAAAAAAR!*
A deafening dragon''s roar reverberated through
the entire, causing the millions of poisonous beasts to run in
panic, or cower in fear. That roar was followed by an earthquake which
formed massive cracks in the entire building, and threatened to turn it
into a massive pile of rubble.
Deep surprise appeared on Tirah''s
face, which despite it, was pretty excited about finally being able to
see a dragon in the flesh. That was due to the fact that she was not
much older than Daniel, as she was only a few hundred years of age.. and
when she had managed to take control over her host''s body, virtually
every dragon in the known universe had already been enved by The
Tamer, which she had never met before.
The powerful roar
disappeared as fast as it started, reced by the noise of a massive
w that dug into the side of the building, right into the floor where
Daniel, Aeron, and the Necromancer were.. It then started to move around
the building, destroying the very external wall, and leaving the weight
of the upper part of the building to be held solely by the many pirs
in it.
Just as the building was about to copse, five ws
grabbe the part of the building that was about to copse on Daniel''s
head, and ripped it off.. The ceiling that was so close only moments
earlier, quickly became smaller, and soon after, was thrown in the
distance without the slightest bit of effort.
The moment the
building was thrown away, a massive dragon entered the view of Daniel
and the rest, which looked at it with deep surprise. While Tirah and
Aeron had heard about dragons during the hundreds of years she had spent
roaming the universe, neither of them had actually seen one before.
Ironically
speaking, Daniel was the only one amongst them who had seen a dragon
before, butpared to this one, the one he had awakened while in his
of origin, looked more like a small lizard.
The sheer size
of the dragon''s massive ck and scaly body, was mind boggling.. So
much so, that it order to have enough space to stand, he was forced to
stand above numerous buildings, which were now underneath him in rubles.
His ck leathery wings were sorge, that they bloated the sun,
causing the entire center of the city to be in their shade, while his
tail was so long that it reached halfway towards the edge of the city.
The back of the dragon''s body had a spiky ridge which started at the
base of his neck, and ended near the tip of his tail.
The mouth
of the dragon seemed to be big enough to swallow an entire building, and
its enormous teeth gave the impression that nothing of what entered his
dragon''s mouth, would go through in one piece. Right above the dragon''s
mouth, was a pair ofrge nostrils from which two columns of smoke
came out.. While in the depths of these mostris, two green colored
lights could be seen shine like hidden gems.
The dragon looked
down at the three of them with his tworge and yellow eyes, and with a
voice capable of killing, he said "You''ve really done it.. Ha! You
really did.." he then turned to look at Tirah, which was calmly looking
back at him, and said "What do we have here.."
Tirah was not at
all scared by the size of the dragon, and instead, looked at it with a
faint grin on her face which was impossible to see due to therge and
baggy hood that covered it. "You are not one of my sister''s pets.." She
said with an ted tone. She had just found out that this dragon was
not actually one of the tamer''s, and therefore, she didn''t have to worry
about her sister being here.
"I am not.. I am the one who she
missed, and the one who will kill her." Responded the dragon with a
deafening tone. Then, without waiting for the girl to act, the spaces in
between his scales started to glow of a green color and his chest swell
up to double the size. The two columns of smoke which were being
constantly emitted from his massive nostrils, were also being inhaled
right back.
Daniel rapidly grabbed Aeron, and teleported out of
the way, and above one of the buildings in the distance, as the entire
city had been covered by a barrier which only the dragon and the
necromancer could go through.
At the same time, a faint white
mist came out of the ground, along with millions of white hands which
destroyed the oddly hard material of which the streets were made of. The
bodies of the entire poption of the city were also getting back up,
and stood quietly like mannequins.
These corpses and ghosts
quickly dashed towards the necromancer at the fastest speed that their
living self were capable of, only to crash against one another into a
massive pile of white glow and bodies that covered Tirahpletely.
At
first, Daniel thought that all that the necromancer was doing was to
create a barrier against the iing spit of fire that was going to
turn the city into a ming green hell, but that was not the case. The
moving corpse kept jumping one against the other, forming a mountain
around the necromancer which shone with a faint white light, and was
covered in dim mist.
The dragon did not wait for her to act, and
instead, looked down at therge pile of corpse with his immense size,
and exhaled a jet of mmable liquid of which his lungs were filled.
The
enormous green column of liquid mes crashed against the mountain of
corpses like a bucket of hot water over a small mound of sand, engulfing
itpletely, and spreading through the city in every direction.
All
of the buildings that at this point were still up, had quickly started
to melt, as the heath emanated by the mes of the dragon was so high,
that Daniel and Aeron felt like they were in the proximity of a star.
The exhtion kept going until thest of the buildings fell on the ground, and melted.
The
mes were now fifty meters tall, and covered the dragon''s body up to
his elbows and knees, giving the impression of an overgrown lizard that
was peacefully walking around in the tall grass.
Unfortunately,
for as devastating the attack was, the dragon kept looking at the spot
where his original target was a moment ago. There, unlike the concrete
building with steel supports which had been melted into ayer of
minerals and metal, was the undamaged pile of corpses, which was slowly
increasing in size.
While the green mes had burned everything
in the city, the corpses and the ghosts were still intact. The reason
for that was not because they were too resistant, or because the
necromancer was stronger.. But due to one of the effects that was part
of the necromancer''s system.
Once thest of the ghosts and the
st of the bodies joined the hill-sized pile of death, they started to
move. For the next few moments, the bodies began to melt and change
shape, while the ghosts also started to unite into a single one, forming
a clump of molten flesh and bones, and a horrifying clump of screaming
ghosts.
What was a mountain of bodies just a minute ago, quickly
took a humanoid shape.. then hardened into a massive human. Once formed,
therge clump of ghosts merged with the empty cadaver, just like a
spirit would merge with a person''s body during the cultivation.
Once whole, the giant opened his empty white eyes, and began to move.
One
of the powers which the necromancy system had granted by Iewah''s gift,
was the ability to merge the various corpses, and the ghosts present
around her into a massive human. This massive human would then be under
herplete control, as well as possess the memories of each and every
body and ghost of which it was made of.
The moment of the merging
was protected by the system, and not at all different than the whole
concept of Daniel''s second chance, and karma x luck. Both of these
effects did not operate on something physical, like sheer time essence,
but were unstoppable abstract effects which would possibly change the
oue of a battle.
The same was for the merging of the bodies
around her, which due to the fact that was required to seed by the
system, caused them to be invulnerable until they managed to
sessfully merge.
Another thing that merged, was the power of
the corpses, which had now turned into a horrific looking humanoid being
which moved thanks to the orders of its owner, and the millions of
voices in its head.
The giant corpse that had been formed by the
merging of ghosts and bodies, was a hundred meters tall. It didn''t have a
nose, but only two holes, his mouth was devoid of lips, and only his
two rows of teeth could be seen, his head waspletely bald, and his
eyes were devoid of pupil, and iris.
The dragon did not give the
girl the time to give any order to the giant corpse, and immediately
waved his massive hand into a shing motion, which cut the giant''s
head right off.
The head fell on the ground with a loud noise,
and into the green mes, but then, it changed shape once again, and
after turning into a small two legged monster, it ran back towards the
headless giant, jumped right where the giant corpse''s neck was, and
merge back with it.
This time, it was the necromancer that didn''t
give the dragon the time to make a n, and sent therge corpse to
dash straight towards the dragon''s body. From Daniel''s prospective, it
looked like the giant wanted to approach the dragon as much as possible,
and wrestle with it.
His massive two arms tried to grab the
dragon''s neck, but they were, once again, sliced off by the dragon''s
quick reaction, which quietly took a step back, and after waving his
massive wings and flying up in the air, prepared to let out another, yet
much more powerful, column of fire.
Unfortunately for the
dragon, the giant corpse was just as agile as a normal human, and jumped
right towards him the very moment that the dragon took off for the sky.
It then grabbed one of his limbs, and climbed up until it reached the
area in between his wings.
Once there, he moves his long arms around the dragon''s neck, and tried to choke him.
The
dragon quickly dived on the still ming ground, and tried to get the
giant corpse off of his back, but only managed to reduce its size by
making it grind against the ground.
To Daniel, one thing was
clear.. This fight was way above his level. Luckily, he was a chosen of
Iewah.. And as one, he had the power to skip levels of power through his
supernatural gift.
"Any second now.." he muttered as he observed
the shocking back and forth between the giant corpse, and the dragon,
which seemed to hold the advantage, but could never really manage to
finish the former off.
The fight went on for about two more minutes.
The
dragon had a few injuries which were quickly healing, while the
necromancer, which was currently inside the giant corpse, was now
extremely serious. It was clear to her that her power was not above the
dragon''s.
For a minute, the two looked at each other in search of
a n toe on top of the other.. But then, they immediately turned
towards an empty part of space a few thousand kilometers out of the
''s atmosphere.
"Finally.." muttered Daniel with a low tone.
In
the empty part of space that the necromancer and the dragon were
observing, a five meter crack had appeared, and right in the middle of
it, a two meters sized hole had formed.
What made the hole in
space came down towards the like aet, and in a matter of
seconds, it crashed right in between the dragon, and the giant corpse.
