The Crimson Dragon

Editor: Moop back at it again .

I hope Zeratul is still alive and well after being licked aggressively…

    Neither the bronze nor the copper dragons knew how to use Dimension Door or Teleport so Claudius could only walk out of the mine and wait for them . Claudius couldn’t have cared less . After a final look at the corpse, he turned around, ready to leave . Achilles, on the other hand, was still happily picking up the treasure left behind by the dead dragon . The same went for Sleipnir . The two dragons occasionally fought each over the loot . Claudius didn’t pay them any heed and promptly left through the same entrance from where they entered .

    Eliaza finally finished gathering her righteous team: Morning Lord, a bishop, and Righteous G.o.d, a holy knight, all became the center of the team . An elf with white skin and black eyes stood on the side by themselves . Next to Eliaza was a young man . He opened a door with beautiful carvings for Eliaza before entering into the room himself .  

    Right next door was Tethyr and Zazesspur . The exit was located at the center of the Morning Lord’s Shrine . The local bishops had already finished their preparations and were waiting at the exit which had just appeared . They welcomed the teams who came to subjugate the evil within the mines . The first that came out of the exit was a half-elf lady dressed like royalty . Behind the half-elf was a young man who was also in royal clothing . Next came an elf with white skin and finally, a group of bishops and holy knights from the upper shrine of Tethyr brought up the rear .  

    The pope had the local bishops guide them to the carriages which then left the government facility to head towards the northern mines .  

    Claudius had already left the mines . He leapt behind a pile of rocks and started playing around with them . His fingernails were actually claws, so when he scratched the rock, pieces flake off easily . It took no time for him to finish a weird carving on the rock . The Crimson Dragon waited for his target to approach . He wasn’t sure if the silver dragon would come at all, but this was the fastest way to meet with her if that young female dragon was really as heroic and crazy as she seemed . From Claudius’s perspective on the situation, he’s sure that she’ll come . After all, she can wield a Dragon Slayer to hurt another true dragon . A dragon like her was more than crazy enough .

    Claudius stood again . He threw away the carved tablet in his hands while observing the distant carriages that were heading towards the mines, and smiled ferociously . “I knew she’d come! Eliaza, I have a surprise for you . ” Claudius retreated behind the rocks . He wasn’t stupid enough to rush out and start attacking . The carriage was emanating not just Eliaza’s aura but as well as another dragon’s aura that’s much different than the silver dragon’s . Even if Claudius thought with his a.s.s (even if he didn’t have any brains, Chinese phrasing is hilariously colorful), he would have known the carriages following behind Eliaza’s wouldn’t contain any weaklings . If he rushed out, he’d definitely be swarmed and beaten up again .

    Suddenly, the ground shook violently . A low roar could be heard from the mines . It’s a dragon’s roar . “I’ve told you already . The adventure is over . You’re stupid for not listening!” Claudius felt Achilles’s aura along with the little guy’s . The floor was still shaking violently . It’s most likely something hit the ground hard or even worse, there was an explosion .

    Those in the carriages also felt the aura . After all, these people were experts in their fields, especially the ones who believed in G.o.d . They could all feel the imminent danger ahead . The holy knights and bishops hastily exited the carriages and a.s.sumed battle formation . Both Eliaza and Marlborough, the gold dragon, stepped out of their carriages . Upon seeing the duo, Claudius immediately hid himself completely behind the rock . “Gold dragon… you found a really strong helper didn’t you Eliaza?” It’s impossible for dragons to use transformation magic to hide from other dragons . Thus, Claudius instantly knew that the young royal-looking man was actually a gold dragon, an adult one too .

    From the third carriage came the white-skinned elf . It made Claudius even more cautious . Although he couldn’t discern which species it belongs to, he knew it wasn’t a regular elf . From what Claudius could infer, that elf was definitely another legendary warrior . The slightly larger ears of the elf allowedClaudius to recognize it as a rare breed . The remaining carriages spilled out bishops and holy knights which Claudius didn’t want to provoke either . They all seemed to be on par with the legendary cla.s.s . It certainly could be said that the Morning Lord and Righteous G.o.d had gathered all of the best fighters from around the desert and kingdom .

    “d.a.m.n… I can’t beat them all unless I return to my original form . ” Claudius murmured . It was true that even if Claudius wielded his gold-gilded weapon, he could only take on at most the two dragons and maybe five holy knights . If the legendary elf and the other troops joined the battle, Claudius would most likely need to surrender . If Claudius returned to his original form, he could probably stop the troops, but he wouldn’t be able to ascertain how strong the gold dragon or the elf was . So the crimson dragon decided to stay outside the mine while the team eneteredit . His target was only Eliaza anyway .  

    The silver dragon had casted a spell when she stepped off the carriage . Claudius was a complete moron when it came to spells so he couldn’t tell what kind of spell she casted . Though he could still guess that it was a language spell since she ordered the troops to enter the mines . Claudius’ extremely sharp ears heard the few words: “Achilles, Sleipnir, be careful . ” He thought to himself, “Of course they’re in danger . I bet those two idiots went back to their dragon forms and are fighting the enemies . The enemies, on the other hand… If I guessed correctly, they’re definitely not something the two dragons can handle by themselves . If they can’t handle it neatly, there’ll be even more surprises coming . ” The crimson dragon waited for the a.s.sault team to enter, then followed them after waiting for 30 minutes . Then he waited for the right moment to kidnap the silver dragon and begin his revenge .

    Claudius couldn’t hide his facial expressions after thinking about his plan to kidnap the silver dragon . He decided to take out his weapons, and started cleaning them to calm himself down, despite his weapons being resistant to corrosion . The broadsword, battle-axe, and shortsword were all gleaming . They glowed with a bright purple colour under the sunlight . “Oops! I forgot to ask the little guy to return my mace . I hope the idiot doesn’t died before I arrive . ”
