Chapter 791 Wrath Of The Wind Guardian (I)
"Then we have to chase him!" Queen Tanya groaned as she wanted to chase down the man.
"Calm down, Sis. Based on how we don\'t detect his presence, it\'s either he teleported away from here or got transported very fast a bit further from us. And even if we manage to keep up with him, he might just do the same thing as earlier and escape. I think it\'s pointless to face him right now if he won\'t face us properly," Queen Tori explained.
"Ugh..." Queen Tanya grunted in defeat as we are left behind in the dust.
As for me while they are currently still trying to chase down the guy, I am already peering on the next chamber as I have recalled that the place was quite big and seems to have some sort of event back then. However, back when I was exploring this place, the event where the relic was destroyed and the divine winds are gone and all the involving events about it had already passed so when I arrived here, nothing was left and I don\'t think I have seen any kind of interaction there. But now, when I am currently peering at the chamber, it seems I can hear someone or something there. And based on the noises, it\'s like it is roaring.
"Is something wrong, Bladeheart?" Queen Tori and Queen Tanya came up behind me, checking out what I was looking at.
"Shhh...it seems something is currently beyond here and from the sound of it, it seems it is not a good idea, or it\'s just not a good time to get near which means something must have been currently in there and its worth investigating rather than chasing that guy from earlier."
The two peeked but as they do so, a loud roar and a strong tremor occurred in the tunnel and we had to duck as we wait for the tremors to stop.
"Based on the roar, my conclusion would be a giant beast or perhaps a dragon. The roar sounds closer to a dragon in my opinion," Queen Tori frowned.
"A dragon eh? Looks like something is worth checking here after all," the sullen Queen Tanya before has regained her vigor when she realized we can face a strong monster beyond the area.
Because of this, we proceed into the source of the roar and perhaps even the tremors as well. As we arrive at the location where it was, my guess was indeed correct. It was a dragon.
Compared to the dragon back in the Luminous Continent that we befriend, this dragon is much bigger than usual. Not only that but it is also much fiercer than the former. In short, it is an upgrade to the friend dragon, and it\'s not even close enough to compete against it.
"Check that out! A giant dragon! Haha, it seems it\'s not so unlucky to come here after all!" Queen Tori grinned as she readies her scythe.
"This is strange. How come a dragon is currently chained in here and no one noticed it? This dragon is so big and even those chains that are binding its wings, arms, legs, and neck won\'t just hold out the more the dragon tries to break free," Queen Tori just couldn\'t explain what is happening.
"It seems that this has something to do with the man from earlier who wields the artifact. He mentioned before leaving that his job is done here and since he came here when we arrived, that only means he might have to do something about it rampaging around here."
"Very possible but we needed to go there and face this dragon. If the dragon continues to try and break itself free, it might cause the collapse of the tunnel and even we will be buried alive here. Perhaps we can reason on this one?"
I observed the dragon first. Based on the stories and descriptions of the dragon back in Luminous Continent about the dragons, if we wanted to seek and speak with them, they should have clear eyes and they are not currently fuming in rage as some dragons are just easily pissed. Of course, a dragon can be pacified as long as they have clear eyes but they are currently trying to destroy things in their path.
But things will get different if the dragon\'s eyes turn red. The moment it does, there is only one way to stop the dragon if it was doing that while currently in that state and that is to kill it. Its berserk form will not be capable of holding back its attempt of destroying many lives. It is also not possible to be able to recover as well making it a dangerous state for a dragon. So once they are under that state, it\'s time to slay the dragon and put a stop to it for good.
Looking back at the dragon, its eyes are fully red. And it\'s trying to break off of its chains, which means the dragon cannot recover from its rage and the only way for it to recover is to slay it. As much as they are needed to do so, it would have been a better option to pacify it but since there is no other method to pacify a rampaging red-eyed dragon like that, the only way is to kill it.
"Let\'s go and beat this dragon up. We cannot reason on this one and if we let it continue to do what it was currently doing, sooner or later we will find ourselves dealing with the dragon again but a bit more later. It\'s better to deal with it here while it is still under isolation and far from the public eye. That way, panic will not occur and destruction does not happen as well," I explained.
"Eh? Are you serious Bladeheart? Shouldn\'t we go and see and try to ask it about something? I heard most dragons are intelligent. Perhaps it can understand some reasoning from us," Queen Toir is hesitant.
"Unfortunately, Your Majesty, it seems this dragon is no longer in its right state of mind and it was so angry that the only thing on its mind is chaos and destruction. According to one of the dragons I befriend in my journeys, if this thing happened to a fellow dragon, the only way for the dragon to be pacified is to kill it as the state they were in cannot be stopped and it\'s an innate trait most dragons have. Dragons that are part of the calamity level will be more capable of destroying things and is willing to destroy the world as a result and angering them will more likely prompt them to gain the red-eyed state. Peaceful dragons have less chance to get this state but they will still have the chance to do so which is why it\'s best not to piss the dragon to the point where they cannot be stopped."
"Then we are guilt free if we slay this one then? I am on it!" Queen Tanya immediately rushes to the dragon with an excited scream as she wields her scythe like a maniac.
We followed her and the dragon does not even care about us while we are there, it just started to roar loudly and tries to break the chains on its body.
"Look at this big guy, it seems it\'s so eager at breaking apart the chains binding him! How about you give it a try?!" Queen Tanya charges up dark energy on her scythe and the blade grows in size, as it extends and is now full of Queen Tanya\'s power.
In a single swing, the giant scythe passes through one of the dragon\'s arms that are currently bound on the chains.
SWISH!
PSSSHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Blood sprays from the arm that Queen Tanya sliced through as the flesh slowly separates itself from the main body, revealing that the chain arm of the dragon has been severed.
The dragon screamed in pain as it lost one of its arms all of a sudden. It looked around for a bit and when it spotted us, it didn\'t hesitate to throw multiple fire breaths at us.
"Ugh! Sis! Look at what you have done! The dragon is now busy targeting us! You should have aimed at its neck for faster killing time!" Queen Tori complained about how inefficient the cut that Queen Tanya did to the dragon was since it instead put the dragon into madness.
"Eh... where\'s the fun in that?" Queen Tanya shook her head.
"Argh... damn Tanya!" Queen Tori is clearly pissed but she gets herself ready to fight.
"Let\'s bring this dragon down and win the fight. Hit it as hard as you can!"
