Joe took off, his speed swiftly approached that of the speed of sound as his spear tore through the wind, heading directly for the ant queen's head. By attacking this way, he would make the most use out of his spears long reach rather than attempting to slowly weaken it from bodily attacks.
The ant queen noticed and formed a barrier of solid flames, the heat reaching extremely levels as Joe felt as though his face was beginning to melt. He swiftly backed away, his guard still up in case the ant queen attempted to attack him while he retreated.
Fortunately, it seemed the queen was still weak from the abrupt change of environments. Although, it also seems that due to her control over the fire, she managed to survive Sandy's special ability without much trouble either.
The group on the island heard the roar, the ants seemed to have halted their attacks on the island because of it as well. For a second, the group thought that Joe and Phoebe managed to succeed, but they finally managed to get a glimpse of the other side of the ant horde. Although the mound was successfully destroyed, the ant queen was still alive and rather furious.
"Tsk, seems they haven't managed to finish it off." Simon didn't think that sending Joe over was a bad move but that was because he didn't know the ant queen had such good control over fire. If they sent Chloe at the beginning instead, they could have flooded the entire mound, having the same effects while killing the ant queen.
"Oh well, that just means that another strong opponent appeared. So, are you planning on going over to give it a try?" Georgia asked as she floated right by him. Everyone in the group knew of Simon's personality, especially how he always wants to challenge strong opponents. Georgia was already surprised enough to see Simon stay by the island for this long.
"Nope." Simon shook his head which caused Georgia to furrow her eyebrows. "Yeah, I know it isn't my usual character. But… I've decided to stick this one out and leave it to Joe and Phoebe, that haven't had a challenge in a while, maybe this can be a great reminder too that thrilling feeling of battle."
"Battle junkie," Georgia remarked beneath her breath before going out a slaughtering some more ants while they were in the middle of confusion.
The ants were currently confused as to what they should do. Should they continue their attack on the island? Or should they go back and help their queen? However, they're extremely confident in their queen's strength, that it's enough to handle those couple of people and beasts by her. At the same time however, they're making no progress on the island invasion, none at all, they haven't even scratched the ones defending the island.
The queen roared loudly, giving her commands to her soldiers, dispelling any confusion they had. They were to continue their attacks on the island, that way the ones currently attacking her may need to return to protect the island. Giving the queen some time to recover.
The group noticed the ants all turn around simultaneously like they were all connected to each. Their wings thrashed around violently as the charged towards the island all at the same time, some of them dispatched themselves from the group to attempt to attack the island at a different angle.
The group didn't take much notice of them, they were rather confident in their gravity defence. It's an absolute impenetrable wall unless one also has control over gravity. And considering their fight against the ants so far, it's quite obvious that they don't. The only thing they have is strong bites, and the smallest bit of fire control, nothing too out of hand.
Back at the crumbled mound, Joe and Phoebe were both floating silently in the air at a distance from the ant queen. Their tames right behind them, waiting patiently as they readied themselves to fight. Phoebe was at a slight disadvantage, they were currently over land so they couldn't make use of water control to the fullest. Fortunately, Sandy was still at home due to the lava spewing out of the mound. Her ability to change the terrain into a lava field is quite useful, especially since it gives her a boost in strength.
While the ant was still injured, they continued the fight, Joe and Sandy at the front of the charge while Phoebe, Faith, and Hope were just slightly trailing behind. Faith was dragging it, along with Hope along the ground through its tactful water manipulation, creating a path of water just slightly ahead of them so the enemy won't be able to predict their next move.
The ant queen, noticing the group's rapid approach slammed its claws on the ground, rupturing the land, causing a few nearby buildings to collapse as cracks were created in the ground lava spewed from beneath. This wasn't Sandy's lava however, rather, it was natural lava formed under the continental plates. The ants had borrowed that fire down, as a blazing hot environment makes them comfortable as well as giving them the advantage in the fight.
However, due to the sudden change in the environment not to long ago caused by a special ability, the queen was unable to protect the eggs and even herself for that matter. Since she wasn't able to control the lava of a special ability, she would use her own special ability to give herself the advantage.
The group narrowly dodged the pillar of lava that spewed from the ground, Sandy's eyes contrasted when she noticed that it wasn't her lava and that she wasn't able to command any control over it. 'Master, that lava is the work of the ant queen's special ability, take precaution, she seems to possess an ability similar to mine.'
'So that means she's currently got a buff right?' Joe asked the corner of his lip twitched. That ant queen using her special ability was rather surprising as it meant she was an elder, but the more annoying part was that it had a similar ability to his own tame meaning he had no more advantage.
'Yes master, however, hers is slightly more powerful due to her grade being above mine' Sandy explained in a calm and composed voice. 'But with all of us here it shouldn't be a problem to take her down, or at least keep her stalled until the others finish up with the ants up there.'
"Tsk, that's annoying but I suppose I can finally get a good work out," Joe muttered faintly as he cracked his knuckles. Unlike the others which sought fights, he couldn't be bothered and would rather wait for the fights to come to him. However, similar to the others, he enjoyed fighting.
Dashing forward Joe pulled his spear back, Sandy was right behind him, keeping the heat away from him so he can follow through the with the attack. Phoebe sighed, shrugged her shoulders before following right behind him. Faith kept his control over water up, solidifying any lava that gushed from beneath them.
The ant queen swung her claws towards them, they tore through the air loudly like a plane, a trail of fire followed behind it as the heat radiating from it intensified. Faith shot through the air, ramming into the claw and biting down hard. Although he might not be able to beat the ant queen in terms of elemental control, he would be able to destroy it with his defence and somewhat his strength.
The ant queen was surprised by the sudden turn of events; panicking she began to rapidly fire her flames around her, they blazed intensely but Sandy cancelled out most of it for Joe while Joy did his best to protect Phoebe with his own water control and shell.
She roared loudly, gaining the immediate attention of her ant soldiers. They immediately stopped what they were doing and began heading back, without a care in the world that the group on the island continued to slaughter them as they escape.
"Man, this is actually getting somewhat bothersome," Simon complained as he stretched his hand. Although the ants were difficult to beat, just the sheer number of them was making it somewhat bothersome. All they saw was the ant's carapace, they blocked out their vision from everything else which caused their minds to start playing some tricks on them.
"Yeah, it's like there isn't an end to them, we really need a way to stop a large group of them at the same time. Seriously, how have ants not taken over half of the planet by now," Georgia complained as she wiped the blood of an ant off her hidden blades.
"Unfortunate, that's not how it works. There's probably plenty of other races which are able to contend with them, including humans with their explosives and variety of special abilities through tames." Zoe, Chloe, and Flynn appeared right by them. There wasn't a need to protect the island anymore since the ants were retreating. "So, what's happening in Joe's and Phoebe's side of things."
"Well, it seems they've managed to piss off the ant queen, so I reckon we should go over and actually give them some help instead of standing around doing nothing," Georgia responded.
"Floated," Flynn casually corrected, getting the groups' gaze on him momentarily as they raised an eyebrow each. "What, we aren't standing since we aren't on the ground. We're floating since we're literally floating in the air right now."
"Fair enough, anyway-" Georgia was about to continue before a loud roar echoed through the area, followed by another two slightly weaker roars. They felt an oppressive aura come from the island, it wasn't the usual aura which any of their beasts can give, it was something different. Something that seemed to want respect, akin to a king.
Looking back they noticed the air above the island seemed a bit heavy, the trees were quaking as something was moving through the forests swiftly. They saw three figures, two of which were flying through the air while one was on the ground. They got closer and closer, finally, the group was able to make them out.
"Well I'll be damned, he actually managed to get himself a dragon, three of them for that matter," Simon muttered beneath his breath as he nodded with surprise.
In front of them appeared three dragons, all unique in shape and colour but all possessing a similar oppressive aura. Lachlan was currently in front of them on Aaron, however, unlike the usual way of riding Aaron Lachlan was currently standing on Aaron's back with his arms crossed and a wide grin.
Getting to the edge of the island the three dragons gave off a might roar that echoed throughout the city. It was extremely intense as any remaining glass in nearby buildings shattered.

Second release of today. Ha, get cliffhanged. Remember to go check out my other novel, you'll probably like it if you like gaming novels.
Back in the other world, before the battle. Lachlan was currently on the edge of the castle grounds, overseeing the entire ocean as small birds flew alongside the castle. By his side were the three eggs, currently unhatched due to one important reason.
Lachlan was mentally preparing himself for the pain he's about to feel through his eyes and mind, he also didn't want to go through that pain while in the other world. He was patient and could wait the extra time for him to make it to the island. After all, so far along his return journey nothing has happened.
As for taming the dragons, fortunately, before he left the Dark Dragon King informed him that the dragons in the eggs are all related despite being of different appearance. As dragons work rather differently, they don't cross breed two different dragons to get a better one as that won't necessarily work. Because the genes of a dragon aren't created through taking the genes of its parents, but rather, they're formed as they absorb the elements they're most compatible through the air. Which is also why there's such a variety of dragons.
As for the ones Lachlan has by his side, he could judge just from the colour of the eggshell alone what they're likely to be. One will be Earth/Rock related, One with Water, while the other will be that of Darkness and possibly Fire as well.
Rubbing his hand against the top of the eggs Lachlan muttered faintly as though they could hear him through the shell. "Just a little bit more and I'll get you out of those eggs; then you can join me and become apart of my party. Hope you get along with the others."
The last bit is something Lachlan dearly hoped happened, he hoped that none of the dragons were arrogant like Catastrophe otherwise they'll constantly fight through his mind. It would keep him up at night if that's the case, the constant arguing about who's stronger, Lachlan was already dreading it through his imagination.
The journey continued for another few days, he kept up the speed of the island, so they aren't too late. Fortunately, the castle is rather strong and so is its foundation. Otherwise, with the speed that they're going at, just about every castle on Earth would have been ripped apart with only a few stones or bricks remaining.
Finally, after all that time Lachlan finally managed to catch sight of the island. He had already past the island of elves along the way, this time they didn't bother him and kept to themselves. They didn't want to invite a calamity onto their island. The elves' chieftain didn't want to be the last one, he would thoroughly disappoint his ancestors if he were to be the reason their clan is annihilated.
Lachlan looked at the island and sighed. Unfortunately, he was going to have to leave the castle on the island in Aaron's world because it wasn't able to fit through the spatial gate. Aaron enlightened him on the matter, as spatial gates can appear in all different shapes and sizes. The one which allowed for the undead dragon to bring its temple along with it was likely quite large in comparison to their spatial gate.
So, he landed it carefully on the ground just outside the gate. He then turned to the eggs by his side and smiled joyfully. "Alright, I suppose it's about time I let you all out of your eggs huh?" The eggs responded with a slight shake which made Lachlan's eyes constrict from surprise.
"Alright then, since you're so energetic," Lachlan muttered as he placed his hand above the eggs. Using his great grip strength he pinched a bit of his finger, causing it to bleed out a few droplets of blood before healing up completely. However, that was only enough for one egg which already began to rumble.
Lachlan swiftly went into action and bleed on the other two eggs so they would hatch at roughly the same time. The patterns on the dragon eggs began to light up brightly, the brown eggs caused the ground to start shaking violently as the ground began to form a bed for it. The blue eggs caused a stream of water from the ocean to rise up, it surrounded the egg, wrapping itself around it like a protective shield. Then finally, the black and red egg caused the shadows in the surrounding to warp as the temperature rose, causing the ground to melt beneath it.
"Whoa, now that's not the usual way of hatching out of eggs," Lachlan moved a few metres away to allow the eggs some more room. Also, the heat radiating from the black egg reached some extreme temperatures to the point where even he was slightly sweating. 'Seems they have some good control over the elements, maybe even better than you Aaron.'
'Possibly, however, there's also the chance they have unique elements as well. Take a look at the other two eggs' Aaron replied.
Lachlan turned his attention to the other two eggs, his eyes constricted at the unique sight that was happening before his eyes. The ground which was created to make a casket for the brown egg began to sprout flowers as it flourished with vegetation. The blue egg's water had changed colours to an azure green, it glistened in the sunlight and caused the light that was emitting from the egg to shine brighter as well.
After a few seconds cracks began to spread around the eggs, starting from the top, slowly making its way down before halting roughly halfway down the egg. A small, but cute roar sounded from the eggs as three heads popped out, the top of the eggshell was resting on their heads.
The three baby dragons looked at Lachlan curiously, their eyes filled with wonder as they crawled out of their eggs and up to Lachlan. Similar to the Rocs, the three baby dragons rested their heads on Lachlan's lap as their eyes looked towards Lachlan.
Lachlan took a closer look at the dragons in front of him.
The dragon which popped out of the brown egg didn't have any wings, however, its body was the largest of the three as a small hill formed on its back with a bit of vegetation growing on it. Its scales were dark brown, and it stood roughly 20cm tall and 30cm long and wide. It looked similar to Earth dragons commonly seen in shows and games, with high defences.
The dragon that came out of the blue egg had azure green scales, small stubs on the top of its head as its body was similar to those of Eastern mythology. Where the dragons looked more like snakes with its long body which reached 40cm long and had a girth of 20cm, around its neck was short but soft fur which formed a mane. Its arms and legs were extremely small, but its eyes were wide and pure, filled with the colour of the deep ocean. Its wings were short and almost transparent.
Finally, the last dragon which came out of the black and red egg looked like those of Western mythology. Its were dark matte black, absorbing the sunlight as the patterns across its body was blood red. The underside of its body was light grey – white, similar to the other two dragons as well. It had two stubs on its head as well, but rather than brown like the blue dragon's, they were black. The dragon stood roughly 30cm tall, with a wingspan of 40cm. The spine of the win was black while the wing membrane was dark red.
Lachlan decided to give taming them a try. Since the races of this world all have unique taming methods, he might not have to dance in front of the dragons to tame them. Especially since they seem to see him as a parent now, similar to what happened with the Rocs.
Wrapping his arms around them Lachlan muttered faintly, "Do you want to help me?"
His vision darkened and he was brought back into what he called the soul world. Where his soul contract was to be completed with the single confirmation of the dragons. Which were all currently floating in front of him silently, staring around them in awe and wonder. Lachlan asked again as he floated over. "So, do you want to help me?"
All three dragons rushed up and bumped their heads into Lachlan, it wasn't a violent bump, rather it was more of a friendly type of bump. Something one might give to a family member which they haven't seen in a while.
Lachlan chuckled. "Alright, now let's go ahead and choose your names." The time to decide their names was now, they looked at Lachlan curiously with wide eyes, wondering what Lachlan would choose for their names.
Lachlan nodded in approval for his own choices. "Alright, the brown dragon will be called Beaumont, the blue one Lana and the black and red on will be named Orpheus." Lachlan was happy with his choice in names, they call had their meanings and were deeply related to their elements.
Once the names were chosen, he was brought back into his body with the three dragons looking at him curiously, they were sniffing his clothes in search of something. Lachlan was currently undergoing the next stage for him; the tattoos had decided to be placed on Lachlan's chest making his heart heat up. Finally, after a few more seconds and they were done.
Taking off his clothes Lachlan saw three dragon tattoos on his chest, the one at the top was long and slim which went across his chest. The left side of his chest was covered by a dragon tattoo that looked similar to Orpheus while on the right side was a tattoo that looked similar to Beaumont.
The baby dragons crawled up to Lachlan and began rapidly sniff at his body. Lachlan only had to think about it momentarily before realising what they were looking for; it was the blood of their parents, they needed to grow to get stronger. It seems dragons had a deep desire for strength and somehow already had knowledge of how blood increases it at the start of their lives.
Lachlan swiftly disappeared from his spot, he was currently back inside the castle near the entrance, the jar of blood was located by the door. Lachlan quickly returned before opening it up, he dosed the three dragons in the blood which caused them to be slightly shaken.
Their bodies began to glow as they roared with much greater force than before. Their bodies grew much larger than Lachlan had expected, slowly but surely morphing into beasts that had much larger physiques than his Rocs as well as Aaron.
Finally, once it was done the three dragons were in front of him, staring at him closely. Beaumont grew to an astronomical 15 metres tall and 20 – 25 metres long and wide. The hill on its back was a lot more prominent as saplings began to sprout within the thick grassy vegetation.
Lana grew to 30 metres long with a girth of 2 metres, the horns on its head were shaped like antlers, its fur grew thicker creating a majestic mane which flowed gracefully in the wind. On its face, a few dozen whiskers began to sprout just above its mouth. They weren't long, but still rather noticeable. On its back, its wings grew slightly more prominent but were still rather small in comparison to its body.
Orpheus, on the other hand, grew to a height of 25 metres, its wingspan grew to roughly 40 metres. Its scales seemed to almost go to a darker shade of blade, one which seemed to want to consume the light. Its red patterns grew more vibrant as its previously cute appearance disappeared.

It was indeed as Aaron said, the dragons all had unique elements. They were also all incredibly strong for adolescence, they possessed a much high level of innate talent as well. They had potential; potential to be the best beasts in the world.
Now, however, Lachlan had to wait till night time to come to experience the pain. He felt a cold shudder as his back was filled with cold sweats at the thought. 'Who knows, maybe it won't be as bad since I've grown so much stronger."
