My heart was pounding with each passing second. I had never imagined finding myself in such a situation before.
'Why didn't you warn earlier?' I shouted in frustration,in my mind though because I couldn't afford to make any noise right now.
'I thought you might chicken out if you knew there was a... you know, a tiny dragon,' Blaze replied defensively. It was true, I probably would've backed off, but at least I could've co prepared!
Right now, all I had with was my trusty sword and a third-rate armor I bought ages ago. No potions, no helpful items. Why? Because the damn system always locks out when I'm fighting or progressing through the floor. Soone should've given a heads-up so I could be ready. INFORM PRIOR SO THAT I CAN PREPARE SOTHING!
'Hey, I already said I'm sorry, princess,' Blaze retorted. 'And why are you talking like Anabelle?' He was trying to change the topic. Typical.
Crouching behind a large rock, I slowly advanced forward, trying to stay hidden.
...
'What kind of dragon is it?' I asked through our ntal connection.
'I can't say for sure. The dungeon spawns a different one every ti,' Blaze answered nonchalantly.
'You little-' I was about to curse, but then he interrupted.
'Hold on! Before you unleash your anger, let tell you that it's an elental dragon, and it's not that strong,' Blaze hastily clarified. Elental dragon?
Elental dragons are a different breed altogether. They're barely classified as real dragons. Here's why: their elental nature, their singular focus on their respective elents, and their origins in the elental realms.
These factors set them apart from traditional dragons and have sparked many debates about their classification. But the good news was that elental dragons were smaller and less powerful than the real deal. I had been getting worked up for nothing.
Sighing with relief, I muttered to myself, "I hope this one is an easy one to handle." Elental dragons, barely even real dragons.
....
[Half an hour later.]
I've been wandering around like a headless chicken, searching high and low for that damn dragon, but it's like searching for a needle in a haystack!
"How much longer is this gonna take?" I grumbled in frustration, but Blaze remained silent. I guess that ans he's clueless too.
I took a step forward, my footsteps echoing in the cavern.
*Crack*
"Oh no..." I accidentally stepped on a loose rock, and it made a noise. Not just any noise, mind you. It was a cracking noise, but more like a feeble crack, barely even...
"!?" Suddenly, a strange sensation filled the air, causing a shift in the atmosphere. The temperature dropped faster than a lead balloon, and the once calm surroundings turned into a bone-chilling realm.
*Woosh*
The wind let out a spine-tingling howl, piercing through the silence and creating a freaky symphony that echoed throughout the entire floor.
Gulp.
I gulped down the lump in my throat, trying to swallow my nerves.
A tingling sensation crawled up my spine, a clear sign that sothing was off. "It's behind , isn't it?" I asked, half expecting Blaze to confirm my worst fears.
"It's... not quite here yet. It's making its way out of the realm," Blaze muttered, sounding more anxious than usual.
I spun around, my eyes widening at the sight that greeted . A raging storm, a full-blown whirlwind of wind and ice, swirled and churned with a vengeance, threatening to gobble up everything in its path. My heart pounded in my chest as I realized it was trying to suck right in!
"Fuck!" I cursed, desperately searching for sothing to cling onto amidst the chaotic storm. And then, I spotted it—a massive stalactite hanging precariously from the cavern ceiling. Without a second thought, I lunged towards it, my hands gripping its rough surface for dear life as I braced myself against the relentless gusts.
As the storm raged on, the whirlwind seed to intensify, but after a few seconds, it didn't dissipate. Instead, it condensed, becoming more focused.
From the very heart of the tempest, it erged—the storm dragon. Its massive wings stretched wide, emanating an overwhelming aura of power and dominance. The wind howled and the ice crackled, unveiling the majestic silhouette of a dragon before my astonished eyes.
"Whoa!" I exclaid, my eyes widening in both awe and trepidation. A mixture of fear and excitent surged through my veins, electrifying every fiber of my being.
This was no ordinary elental dragon; it was a living embodint of the elents themselves. The storm dragon stood tall above , its scales shimring with a frosty sheen, and its eyes blazing with an icy fury.
Suddenly, Blaze materialized beside , his voice filled with concern. "Princess, you never did what I asked, did you?" he said, his worry evident in his tone. That was a new side of him.
"What?" I replied, keeping a wary eye on the dragon as it continued to grow in size. Why was it getting bigger?
"You never checked your bad luck stat again. You should have asked the system about it, because..." Blaze paused for a mont, then continued, "...as always, you're screwed." His words hung in the air, leaving with a sinking feeling.
Before I could process his warning, the dragon let out a mighty roar, unleashing a shockwave that reverberated throughout the entire floor.
"Shit!" I cursed as an invisible force slamd into my abdon, sending hurtling through the air. I crashed into the rough wall of the cavern, the impact feeling like my entire body was being crushed. Blood rose to my throat, threatening to make vomit.
As the storm gradually subsided and the elental energies converged, the dragon stood before in all its magnificence. It was a sight that both captivated and sent shivers down my spine.
The storm dragon possessed a regal stature, towering above with its massive wings spread wide. Its scales glistened with a frosty hue, reflecting the remnants of the tempest it had erged from. Its sleek and sinuous body bore intricate patterns that seed to mimic the swirling winds and frozen landscapes.
Its eyes, an intense glacial blue, held an ancient wisdom and an undeniable aura of power. It felt as though the dragon's gaze could penetrate deep into my soul, unraveling the very essence of my being.
Each of its clawed feet was adorned with long, sharp talons, perfectly designed for grasping and tearing apart its adversaries. Razor-sharp fangs protruded from its jaws, promising a devastating bite capable of crushing bones with ease.
Its expansive wings, majestic and adorned with icy crystals, sparkled and reflected the light with a srizing glow. With a single flap, the dragon could summon gusts of freezing winds that could turn anything in its path into ice.
The creature emanated a frigid power and untad energy, its presence commanding both respect and awe. It embodied the elental forces it controlled, a living manifestation of the storm itself.
Gasping for breath, I struggled to regain my composure after the brutal impact. Pain seared through my body, a reminder of the dragon's overwhelming might. Blood trickled from the corner of my mouth,
"ouch!"With trembling hands, I pushed myself off the wall, my gaze fixated on the colossal storm dragon that now fully materialized before . Its size was awe-inspiring, surpassing all my expectations.
Towering in front of , it seed to fill the entire cavern, its wingspan stretching out as far as the eye could see.
"That's not just any elental dragon, Princess, it's sothing... beyond -" I exclaid, my jaw dropping in disbelief. This creature was on a whole new level, and it wasn't part of the ga's script.
"Princess, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I think it's ti to bid our farewells. This thing is way out of our league," Blaze warned, his voice tinged with worry.
"What is it now? Why do these things always happen to ?" I grumbled, frustration bubbling up inside . First, the dreaded Serpenthian Abbyssalor, and now this... I didn't even have a clue what this creature was, but one thing was certain—it was no ordinary elental dragon.
"It's a Crystalwing Sentinel," Blaze declared, his tone filled with both awe and concern. I gazed ahead, taking in the majestic form of the creature. The na sohow made sense, considering the shimring crystals adorning its wings and the imposing aura it emanated.
Sentinel fixed its gaze upon ,

Every detail of the dragon's appearance was etched into my mory. Its scales shimred like a frozen mosaic, reflecting the ethereal light in the underground chamber. The determination etched on its face was fierce, with sharp horns curving outward, displaying dominance. Its eyes blazed with icy fury, sending a chilling sensation down my spine. This creature was no ordinary being; it embodied the force of nature itself.
The dragon's wings, grand and majestic, swept through the air with a powerful whoosh. Feathers of ice and frost adorn each wingtip, adding an elegant touch to its formidable presence. The gusts generated by its wings sent shivers through the cavern, a reminder of the imnse power it possessed.
In one swift motion, the dragon reared its head back, drawing in a deep breath. I braced myself, knowing that what would follow would be utterly devastating. And then, with a thunderous roar.
.....
[Fifteen minutes later.]
"Wh-why" I am baffled by the sudden turn of the events now.
