An Elental Dragon stands at the precipice of draconic magnificence, embodying and commanding a specific elent with its very being. These majestic creatures possess a modicum of elental power, their essence intertwining with the forces of nature. They are renowned for their untad nature, a fiery spirit that mirrors the elents over which they hold dominion.
On the other hand, the Sentinel Elental Dragon assus a far more profound role. It transcends the bounds of a re elental dragon, evolving into a specialized guardian entrusted with the protection of a sacred realm. Within the vast tapestry of existence, there exists an elental realm accessible only to those who possess the keys to its gates. It is within these ethereal domains that the sentinel dragons find their purpose.
Unlike their elental counterparts, Sentinel Elental Dragons are bestowed with imnse power, a convergence of elental energies that surpasses the limits of conventional understanding. Their connection to their elent runs deeper, fostering a profound sense of duty, wisdom, and guardianship. It is their sacred charge to preserve harmony and ward off any threats that may jeopardize the sanctity of their realm.
And now, standing before , is one of the esteed sentinels, the Crystalwing. It is a creature of unparalleled beauty and power, its iridescent wings shimring with crystalline grace. Yet, as I confront this imposing figure, the weight of the challenge becos undeniable. It dawns upon that I am destined to face this mighty being, the Crystalwing Sentinel, and perhaps, to confront my own mortality in the process.
In summary, elental dragons are powerful beings associated with specific elents, while sentinel elental dragons are a subset of elental dragons with a focused role as protectors and guardians of their designated domains.
...
[Fifteen minutes before.]
In one swift motion, the dragon rears its head back, drawing in a deep breath. I brace myself, knowing that what will follow will be utterly devastating. And then, with a thunderous roar...
*Roar!*
My feet dig into the ground itself as I try to resist the wave that the Crystalwing Sentinel's re roar creates, but...
Thud!
"Ugh." I am once again slamd against the wall with extre force.
'How am I supposed to fight that thing when I can't even stand straight in front of it?' I am not in the mood for dying, but if that thing is my opponent, then... it's over.
"Agh, I won't die like this!" I stand up again, using the Emberclad Colossus Sword as support to the ground, and...
"?" I am a little perplexed... no, I am utterly perplexed. Why? Because...
...Silence...
The atmosphere grows silent as the elental dragon looks around. It isn't angry or trying to rampage; instead, it is calm, as if observing sothing, its surroundings. And then... its eyes finally settle on , and I feel a heavy aura settle down on , forcing down to kneel.
"Agh." I resist with all my might, using every ounce of power I can muster. Even my full strength at this point is not enough.
"AMUSING," the dragon's voice reverberates in the chamber, sending chills down my spine.
I don't try to advance any further because what will happen from now on is not sothing I get to decide... because the strongest being in the room is always the ruler.
"Hmm... A human?" Crystalwing Sentinel stares down at . "Hey, puny human, ARE YOU THE ONE WHO SUMMONED HERE?" it asks.
"..." I try to answer, but the words refuse to leave my lips. It feels like my mouth is bound by a
powerful force.
"Hm?" Crystalwing brings its head near , intensifying the pressure of its presence.
"..." I stand like a rock statue in front of the dragon's large, freezing pupils. The temperature has dropped significantly since the elental dragon arrived, and ice crystals are forming in the atmosphere.
Sushhhh...
'!' The Crystalwing Sentinel closes its large eyes and then starts glowing, white sparkling energy radiating from its entire body, enough to blind my sight.
"Ahh," At last, my energy gives up, and I fall to my knees. My eyes close on their own, and when I open them again...
"!" I see illuminated light reforming—no, it is creating a more humanoid form. The dragon slowly transforms into a magnificent humanoid figure. The luminescent glow envelops its entire being, as if crystalline energy courses through its veins. The features of the Crystalwing Sentinel beco more defined, taking on an elegant and ethereal appearance.
"Looks like I'll have to use this form to communicate," it mutters, its voice deep.
I stare in disbelief. Its once imposing draconic form now stands tall and proud as a majestic elven warrior. The Sentinel has pale skin shimring with a pearlescent sheen, mirroring the radiance of the moon. Silky strands of silvery-white hair cascade down its back, flowing like a waterfall frozen in ti.
'Its his polymorph form.' I am sure that a dragon can have multiple forms they can morph into, but... it's not normal for an elental dragon to have one, but yeah, he is a sentinel.
Step, step...
The piercing sapphire eyes, filled with ancient wisdom, hold a captivating gaze that seems to transcend the physical realm. Adorned in translucent armor resembling ice, the Sentinel emanates an aura of invincibility. Engravings of swirling winds and frozen landscapes adorn the armor, showcasing its connection to the elental forces it guards.
In its hand, the Sentinel wields a staff, its pinnacle adorned with a pulsing iridescent crystal that emits a soft, enchanting light. The staff channels the very essence of the dragon's power, serving as a conduit between the mortal and elental realms.
With each movent, the Crystalwing Sentinel exuded grace and power, serving as a living embodint of the forces it commanded. Its voice resonated with a deep, lodic timbre, carrying the weight of centuries and the authority of a guardian.
"You haven't answered my question. Do you want to make repeat myself? I asked who you are and why I am here. Answer," the Crystalwing confronted directly, looking down upon with its icy gaze.
Every word it spoke commanded attention, captivating all who heard it. This transford form of the Crystalwing Sentinel possessed a presence that demanded both reverence and awe.
I could feel the pressure within lessen slightly, allowing to breathe more freely. Without wasting a second, I responded, "I am not the one who summoned you," keeping my tone polite.
"Really?" Crystalwing tilted his head and placed a hand on his chin, as if deep in thought. After a few seconds, he asked, "And what place is this? If my mory serves right, this place isn't from... never mind. Just tell how you got here," interrupting his own sentence and retracting his initial question.
"It's a dungeon. I... I am a human adventurer and ca here to explore this place," I chose my words carefully, aware of the significance of each one.
"haa...You humans like to play adventure gas a lot,"Crystalwing looked around before settling his gaze on once again. "This place? A dungeon? It's not a... anyways, why was I summoned to this damn place?" he inquired, his expression changing for the first ti, revealing a hint of disgust.
"I am not the one who summoned the great dragon," I calmly affird, realizing there was no point in becoming flustered since I was currently at the rcy of this dragon. If he desired, he could end my life in an instant.
Step.
Crystalwing took a step forward, positioning himself just to my left, and then... "!"He abruptly grabbed by the chest, his long nails piercing into my flesh.
"Agh!" I grumbled in agony as he lifted , bringing eye level with him, while my feet barely touched the floor.
'It's too close to my core,' I thought, a deep unease settling within . It felt as though he was aiming for my mana core.
Contracting his arm, he brought my ear close to his mouth and spoke with intensity, "Then why do you have the Soul Watcher, a tracker, within you? I don't believe it is sothing humans should ddle with... Tell the truth."
"Tra?-Agh!" I winced more and more as he dug his claws inside , settling in the gaps of my rib cage.
"Well, if you don't want to, I'll look for it myself," I said, bringing my second hand in front of my chest. The Crystalwing materialized so kind of aura, and...
"Ahhh." My eyes rolled up, and I floated in the air as the Crystalwing backed down a little, retracting his nails.
The Crystalwing created an Essence of so kind of Unbinding Radiance—a srizing aura of shimring, iridescent energy. It ford a radiant lattice that pulsated with vibrant colors, intertwining tendrils of light. Sparkling particles twirled within.
My vision went blank, and then I saw it-
Inside the dark room, a heavy atmosphere hung in the air, perated by an eerie stillness. Shadows danced along the walls, giving the impression of lurking secrets and hidden truths. The room seed to be devoid of any windows, casting the space into an eternal darkness, save for a faint glow emanating from the mysterious neon ball.
The neon ball hovered in mid-air, defying gravity with its ethereal presence. It radiated a soft, otherworldly light that illuminated the surroundings in a srizing display. Its vibrant hues pulsed and flickered, casting a kaleidoscope of colors onto the somber walls. The ball itself was a srizing fusion of neon gases, contained within a translucent sphere, swirling and undulating in a srizing dance.
'I've seen it before.'As I gazed at the neon ball, a sense of familiarity washed over , as if I had encountered its enchanting glow in a forgotten mory. Its gentle pulsations seed to beckon, drawing closer, as if it held the key to unraveling a profound mystery or unlocking a hidden power.
