"[Draconic Tempest Kick]!"
Seconds before the abomination could devour the people it had "marked" and captured, Erald arrived, descending from the skies, and imbuing his legs with a powerful Divine Wind Gust!
BAAAAMMMM!!!
Despite how little trust he had on his own strength, that kick alone made the aberrant creature have its whole jaws broken apart, splattering around the surroundings, failing to devour the innocents it captured.
"SHYAAAGGHH…!"
Its vines quickly started to move away the mont it saw Erald, whom it had seen before. The beast had not realized how truly strong the fearful beaked dragon truly was!
"L-Leave them alone!" Erald was mustering his courage, although deep down he was very afraid. "Let them go! You won't eat them! I won't let you! [Wind Cutting Claws]!"
He swung his sharp golden claws towards the many vines and tallic cables, slashing them apart one after another with powerful cutting wind attacks!
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLAAASH!
Several people were dropped on the ground, barely having enough strength, those that were not unconscious quickly started running away. The warriors around the village already gathered surrounding the creature, glancing in surprise over what was happening!
"It's the Sacred Beast?!"
"He has co to save us?!"
"And where did that monster ca from…?"
"W-Was he right the whole ti…?!"
"T-Take the people to safety! T-That thing has… sohow marked them! It will keep trying to get them!" Erald tried to tell the warriors.
"R-Right!"
They quickly started dragging the unconscious away and helping those barely awake to move farther from the creature, yet its vines kept regenerating, erging from the ground, and trying to get them!
"Don't even think about it!"
Erald rushed forwards, imbuing his body with his Divinity of Windstorms without even truly knowing its powers, as if it was a reflect of his own body, his green-feathered body overflowed with an erald-colored windy aura, enhancing his reflexes and speed, while giving him the ability to hover over midair for a short amount of ti!
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
Using his newfound speed, he started to cut the vines before they could reach any of the villagers, all while the beast kept directing many of its vines and steel wires towards him, constantly covering his body with bleeding wounds.
Wind Dragons didn't specialize on defense, and even a Rank 9 Wind Dragon had a rather poor physical defense. This was because their scales were thin and small, and rather weightless so their bodies could be light enough to fly at the supersonic speeds their specially large wings could bring them along.
Additionally, because they had feathers, they had less scales than normal dragons, and many exposed areas over their bodies where attacks could reach!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH!
His wind-cutting claws and the beast's vines clashed constantly, yet Erald was slowly beginning to lose his stamina.
"Hahhh… Ugh!" Erald vomited a mouthful of blood, gasping for air.
"T-The Sacred Beast…!"
"We have to help, sohow!"
"Use fire! It is a plant monster after all!"
Tyrannus suddenly stood up again after being healed by his daughter, his wife still captured by the beast's vines, unconscious, he had to battle and find a way to get her back!
He was surprised that Erald had appeared, and that indeed, he was right and he hadn't lied either, but right now there was little ti for explanations, they had to get moving.
"Fire, right!"
"Magicians! Summon flas!"
"Bring the torches and fire spirit stones!"
"Father, let help too!"
Ahia ran forward, summoning the Spirits of Flas and conjuring tens of fireballs, firing them towards the aberration.
Everyone else did the sa, throwing torches, explosive fire spirit stones, and fireballs using magic towards the monster.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"SHYAAAGGHH…!"
When the beast's sharp vines and tallic wires were about to pierce Erald's body once more, it suddenly recoiled in pain, its plant-body was burning!
Despite being a Divine Beast-level threat, flas were still incredibly strong against its plant-based body, and the pain was insufferable.
"You bastard… Give back the people you kidnaped!" Erald mustered his strength as he felt his body beginning to slowly heal, Ahia in the distance conjured healing nature magic. "Ahia!"
"Erald! Are you okay?!" Ahia ran towards him.
"No! Stay behind, don't get closer!" Erald cried. "I-I'm a monster, I'm hated by everyone… It's better if you don't get involved with !"
"W-What are you talking about?!" Ahia cried. "You-"
"GRAAARRRGH!"
The plant-like monster waited for nobody to finish their words, a mass of burning vines suddenly materialized into a huge wooden spear, reaching Ahia in an instant!
"AHIA!"
Tyrannus scread as he realized he was too far away to push her away in ti!
"I told you to move away!"
Erald ran towards her, attempting to put himself in front of Ahia to take the hit with his larger body!
CLAAAASSSH!!!
"Hey now, what is this thing supposed to be?"
However, the attack did not reach Erald nor Ahia, and instead landed on a new guest of the village that had just made his appearance a few minutes ago.
An ice giant whose body was mildly covered on blue and silver scales, with long silvery-white hair, draconic golden eyes, and beautiful and sharp ice crystal dragon horns spiraling from his forehead.
The powerful spear made of wood had been blocked by his bare hands, covered on several layers of scales, and imbued with the power of the Earth Dragon Bloodline to boost his defenses even more.
"U-Uncle Drake!" Erald cried in surprise. "You ca!"
"Tch… Of course I would co, you damn brat!" Drake was incredibly pissed Erald just jumped into action and left everyone behind. "It was my intention from the beginning to get here!"
He swung his tail and smacked Erald's head with it!
BAAAM!
"Ouch… S-Sorry!"
As Erald apologized, the plant-like monster started growing restless, its vines and tallic wires wrapping around each other, forming dozens of sharp spear-tipped tentacles!
"GRRRHHH… GRYAAARRGH!"
With a monstrous shriek, the aberration attacked Drake and everyone else surrounding its gigantic body, going on a complete rampage!
CLAASH! CLAASH! CLAASH! CLAAASSHH!!
