Eris bolted away as Connor smiled, staring at Arad transforming. “Let’s see if you can keep up!” Dead man’s bones Purples lines of magic covered Connor’s body.

ROAR! Arad roared, charging forward with a bite. Thud! Connor ducked below his jaw and punched upward. BAAM! A shockwave exploded at impact, sending Arad flying to the sky.

Arad felt his jaw crack from the hit. Connor’s punch hit him like a truck. What made it worse was that it was concentrated in a small area.

FLAP! Arad spread his wings, looking down to breathe at Connor. ^Where is he?^ He couldn’t find him.

Thud! “On your back, flying lizard,” Connor growled, grabbing Arad’s wings and twisting them to the back. CRACK!

Arad felt the sharp pain radiating down his spine. It was just the joints. His biggest muscles were the ones linked to his wings. The source of most of his strength has been ripped apart.

It was just now that he understood how important they were. Those muscles helped him move his neck, and upper arms, flap his wings, and keep his back straight.

Gravity Magic

Arad tried to shift his body weight by pulling on the ceiling. His body twisted as he pointed his jaw at Connor. ROAR! He roared, unleashing a full power void breath.

CRACK! Arad saw a pile of bones disintegrating where Connor was.

“I’m here!” Connor said with a smile, hanging from the back of Arad’s neck. “Good-by,” CRACK! He grabbed Arad by the hones and snapped his neck.

Arad’s body went numb as he fell to the ground, “You lost your weird dark shield after transforming. Is that because of your size?” Connor stared at Arad’s body.

“I guess corpses can’t reply,” Connor scratched his head. “Don’t worry. I will raise you as an undead. I only need to find out how to make a dracolich.”

Connor blinked, and suddenly a large green body was standing over Arad’s body. He lifted his head, seeing it was a massive green dragon. ｂ𝚍ｎｏ𝚟ｌ.

^What? When did it get here,^

The green dragon started licking Arad’s body, like a cat grooming a kitten. “Poor child, you didn’t have a choice in getting pulled to such a place.” The drakaina said, looking at Arad’s body.

Thud! Connor took a step, trying to back away.

CREEK! Claug’s tail swung at full speed. The multiple joins made it like a whip, accelerating the tip to an unbelievable speed.

CRACK! Thwack! The tip of her tail blasted a shockwave before hitting Connor’s chest, sending him flying across the city with a blast.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! A deep growl came from Claug’s throat, crackling like a massive lion. “You aren’t getting out of here alive.” She glared into the distance, seeing Connor coughing blood between the shattered stone walls of the cavern.

Claug opened her mouth, pulling out a decent-sized bag filled with healing potions. She poured the content on the ground and grabbed Arad in her claw.

CRACK! She snapped his neck back into place. “You should recover. We dragons are more resistant to brain damage than humans.” She lifted a few potions, opening Arad’s jaw with her claws and putting the potions inside.

CRACK! CRACK! She clenched Arad’s jaw, making him crack and swallow the potions whole. She sighed in relief, seeing his wings healed.

Claug stood and looked toward Connor, “Wait here. I will rip that bastard and acquaintance to shreds first.”

Ginger stared at Claug’s back as she stood over Arad. She was massive. He could fit in her claw while.

VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM! A deep rumbling exploded from Claug’s body, akin to that of Arad but louder and sharper. Ginger could see Claug’s scales shifting as veins bulged beneath them.

CRACK! Connor stood, seeing the massive dragon glaring at him from a distance, ready to charge. “You lot keep appearing.” He growled, “Fine, I will kill you as well.”

BOOM! With a single push from her hind legs, Claug’s massive body blasted forward with a massive shockwave, sending Arad, Ginger, and Alcott’s bodies flying back.

Connor jumped to the left as fast as he could, trying to dodge. Claug lifted her right wing up, swaying her massive body to the left after him.

The ground started shaking and cracking on the surface, just the impact from her headbutting the wall where Connor has almost collapsed the cavern.

Connor’s body flattened with the wall as he was crushed by her hard skull.

Claug pulled her head back, looking at Connor for a second before biting him, swallowing the whole corpse with a batch of stones. She then looked back at the city, taking a deep breath.

^Those people have his smell around them. They worked with him.^ BOOM! She jumped again and landed in the middle of the city, stomping a few buildings as she stared at the necromancers’ guild.

“A dragon!” A man screamed, but Claug didn’t care. She swung her claw up, ripping the whole building from its base.

As the necromancers’ corpses fell from the sky, Claug swallowed them one after the other. She didn’t stop ravaging the place until she ate every last one that had Connor’s smell.

After finishing, Claug opened her wings and flew up, crawling through the hole she came from until she reached the surface. She then took to the sky and flew west as fast as she could until she reached the side of a massive mountain.

“Claug, you came faster than I thought.” A massive red drakaina stared at her from the mountainside. “I got the volcano raging as you asked.”

Claug climbed the mountain until she reached the volcano’s maw.

BRAAA! She then puked all that she ate into the molten inferno, “Unedible rot,” She turned, walking down the mountain while munching on spruce trees.

“Thanks for letting me use it, Zola.” Claug looked at the red drakaina.

“No problem. Just try learning some storage magic. It will help you a lot.” Zola sighed, “You can’t keep storing things in your mouth.”

“You know I’m not good with magic. But we talk later. I have someone to check on.” Claug spread her wings, flying into the distance.
