Chapitre 49: Children's Vision (VI)
Without realizing where we were, we flew far away from the Forgotten Forest. Somehow our aerial battle seemed to zigzag like lightning and ended over a Beast-kin City that I have never seen before. It surprised me when I somehow ended up there, but there was no time to think about what this meant. Already I could hear the shouts of soldiers running up and down the walls. Hysteria could be heard from the people as the citizens ran for cover.
"The Black Gryphon is here!" A soldier shouted in fear.
"Get the crossbows ready!"
"A dragon? A dragon!" They saw me trailing not too far away from the Black Gryphon.
"Lord, save us!"
"Kyahhhhhhhh!"
The Beast-kin soldiers were stationed on the walls, and they aimed upwards.
"Ready! Fire!"
Hundreds of arrows shot upwards into an overarching arch. I blew out flames to stop the oncoming attack. Even still, I had to swivel and swerve out of harm's way. Why of all times did I get tangled with this stupid Black Gryphon? I felt foolish for following the Black Gryphon here.
The Gryphon swerved and shot out a blast of black energy onto the walls. An explosive bang could be heard as a large crater was left behind. Pain, suffering, and death was the constant source of screams as the Black Gryphon swerve and dove towards the soldiers. They were picked up and dropped back downwards on to the ground to their deaths.
On the other hand, I flew upwards, trying to get away from the flying arrows. Not a single arrow impaled through my thick scales and completely bounced off without a single scratch. I flew into the clouds watching everything that was happening below.
A terrifying scream could be heard from the Gryphon's beak. Birds erupted outwards from the trees, and goblins of different varieties that I have never seen before came rushing towards the city like a swarm.
Constant beam of energy shot out of the Gryphon's beak, causing devastation underneath him. Large gaping holes and buildings were demolished in seconds.
"What's going on?" I gaze towards the sudden flood of Goblins. How come I didn't see them before? Stunned at sight before me, the Goblins reached over as far as the eye could see. This rate made me worried that they would enter into the Forgotten Forest and destroy the small town that was built.
The goblins ran towards the broken wall and flooded into the city. Already the fight was becoming chaotic, but even still, the Beast-kin persisted and slew the monsters. I could tell that the goblins were weak, but even still, they completely outnumbered the Beast-kin ten to one. At this rate, the city would become overrun, and the people slaughtered.
Tilting downwards, I saw a tightly formed ranks of goblin around a single goblin. Instinctively, I knew who that goblin was the leader. Diving downwards, I aimed towards the goblin chief.
It was not until the last moment did the goblin chief see me before I crushed him with my weight. My tails flared around me like a wipe throwing the goblins back and killing them.
"Gack!"
"Why are you killing us?" The goblins screamed.
"Kill the monster!"
Really? Me a monster? I huffed out a jet of fire. My claws were forming into large ice crystals. Even more deadly icicles were rapidly forming around me like armor. At the rate that I was forming these icicles, I look similar to a porcupine. Even my tail turned into a deadly spike icicle club.
Bam! Bam! Smash! Squash! Bam!
I felt so alive and powerful squandering the small goblin-like ants. Not a single one of these weapons could harm me. Instead, they were batted around like flies and even killed in one hit. The goblins that were focusing their attacks on the Beast-kin now shifted their gazes towards me.
I jumped around, causing the goblins around me to stumble. Giving this opportunity, I swung my tail and smashed them into the ground. With a pump of my wings, I shot a powerful jet of fire downwards. The goblins that were running towards me to attack were burned alive while the others pulled back in fear of being burned.
With a cackle of laughter, I flew over their heads, causing chaos with fire. Not a single one was able to harm me, and the exhilaration of the battle made my inner animal instincts appear.
"Is that the best you can do?" I roared. The sound of my voices echoed outwards, causing the goblins to draw back in fear. "Do you think you can defeat me?" I dove towards the next Chieftain Goblin and squashed him like a bug.
I felt a sudden cold chill coming from my stomach. The fire that was burning in my stomach was quickly dwindling in strength and was replaced by an ice-cold feel. This time instead of blowing fire, a jet of ice spewed out my mouth. I heard a crackle of ice, crinkling in my mouth like fireworks. Ice quickly froze everything around me and caused the other Goblins to turn into ice.
A flower-like pattern appeared around me, creating an ice barrier. With excitement, I continued to blow out ice, causing large icicles to protrude out of the ground. It impaled the Goblins in half, and they died.
The Beast-kin that were inside their city pushed back the invading Goblins. Everywhere around me was a full out brawl between the goblins and Beast-kin. I caught a glimpse of their power as they bulldozed through the goblin. The effect of having no chieftain to control the goblins had tipped the scales of the battle.
Goblins scattered like roaches when the Beast-Kin pushed through; the Wolf and Tiger Beast-kin tore through the Goblins with their strength. It was like watching one of the animal channels when a predator hunted its prey.
I was so busy blowing jets of ice that I did not see the Black Gryphon come behind me from the sky. Instinct kicked in and pulled back just in time before. I could get shredded by the Gryphon's beak.
"Why?!" The Gryphon screeched.
"Why not? You are eventually going to kill my friends before that happens I will get rid of you now!" I screamed back at this dumb bird.
The Gryphon skidded on the ground and slipped from the ice. This gave me a chance to dive into the Gryphon's exposed chest. I bit down as hard as I could, and I felt warm blood seeped into my mouth again. A sharp pain could be felt from my wings as a large gaping hole was left behind by the Gryphon's claw.
I did not let go and instead dug in deeper. No way was I going to lose from this Battle Royale. My life was on the line, and I was going to make sure to win.
We tumbled on the ground and wrestled for dominance. The power from the Gryphon's claws did not waver a single bit. We rolled and rolled until finally, we hit the ice wall. I snapped towards the Gryphon's neck and clawed at its face. A sudden burst of energy erupted outwards from the Gryphon's body. This time, I flew out backward and into the trees.
What just happened? I shakily got up, confused. Did the Gryphon have such power like that?
Glancing up, I noticed the Gryphon shimmer and shapeshifted into a human male form. Two pairs of black wings appeared from its back, wrapping itself around him like a blanket. He looks like an Angel of Death. I couldn't help but hold in a gasp. Never in my life did I see such a mesmerizing scene before me. It was as if a piece of heaven fell onto land—black energy wrapped around the body of the man and its clothes formed on its body.
Streaks of blood still painted on its shoulders and face, but even still, it made him much more devious and enchanting. Everyone, for a brief moment, stopped to stare. They could not keep their eyes off of the spectacular scene before them. His black wings unfurled behind him, and he slowly opened his golden eyes.
"Why are you here, Dragon." A voice so deep and clear rung out towards the field that everyone turned towards me unconsciously.
"Why would I not bird brain."
"You dare to make a joke of me?" The man hissed. "Do you not know who I am?"
"Not really. All I see is a bird brain whose acting is all high and mighty." I spat. Getting back up, I crouched down, ready to attack when need be.
