"Guys! Can you use your teleportation scrolls to Urburg?" Dave asked, almost shouting through the voice-chat.
A reply came immediately afterward, Flanker, speaking in a hurried tone, "No man, shit ain't working, I tried."
"Damn, be careful, the big baddy is ing to Urburg," Dave said.
"What are you talking about?" Dante asked.
"Remember when we got surrounded by the Wild's big bosses?" Dave said his voice strained.
"Yeah, you kids said that some dragon was missing, you don't mean that—"
"Exactly," Dave cut in, "Seems that the Qin kingdom somehow managed to capture it, and now, one of the Ash-King's strongest soldiers is riding that very dragon and going hot toward Urburg, we gotta stop it!" Dave said.
"There's no way for us to do that man, the distance is too great to cross on feet, what's worse, the dammed Wilds is seething with Boss Monsters that won't be too happy to see us crossing their territory," Perfect said.
"Shit, I know, damn it," Dave shouted again and urged Tiny to move even faster.
The Grave Lord screeched, a sound too similar to wyvern's screams, then flapped its wings once, surging upward then his speed increased considerably.
Dave understood what Tiny just did, he took advantage of air currents to propel itself forward. Consuming the Wyvern didn't only give Tiny its shape, but also, its understanding of air currents and the Grave Lord was doing its best to mimic it.
Dave judged by the speed he was going, he will be able to catch up to the dragon, simply because the great lizard wouldn't be able to use these currents due to its enormous size, the dragon would rely on the brute strength of its wings to move through the air.
"David, I've finished, I don't think I can do another raid," Mercy said.
"Why, what's wrong?" Dave asked.
"The Qin kingdom realized what you're trying to do, they have heavily fortified the food supplies of the city I was in, I barely managed to get out alive. I don't think I can do it again."
"No worries, how many cities did we get?" Dave asked.
"Seven cities, bar the Capital."
"Damn, that's much more than I expected," Dave said.
"What do you mean?" Mercy asked.
"I was only hoping to take out three, four if we are lucky and five cities by a miracle. The destruction of Seven Cities worth of food supplies will cripple the nation for years. Not to mention, I already sent Bud and a group of Undead Ninjas to take care of more cities and towns." Dave said.
"Then there's a chance that they might be able to destroy the supplies in the rest of the cities. The Qin army will not like that one bit," Samuel spoke.
"Yeah, without food, they can't wage war, you need food to sustain an army. This is good, but without Urburg, all of this will be for naught. Alright, guys stay put, by morning, the next step of the mission will start."
"What are you going to do about the dragon, man?" Flanker asked.
"Whatever it takes! I'm taking that son of a bitch down, this time for good." Dave tightened his fist. It was a huge proclamation, he didn't even know he had it in him to defeat what is currently known as the strongest, most dangerous and deadliest entity of the world of Conquest.
Dave cut off the conversation and focused ahead. There were two threats in front of him. The dragon, and its rider, he needed to stop them somehow.
Dave gazed at his skills, he still had many heavy-hitting skills in his arsenal, and his Legacy skill was off cooldown. Using them, he could deal a great blow to the dragon, but that would barely be enough to slay it. He needed a powerful attack something to force the dragon off of his territory, he needed to make the dragon understand to not fuck with him.
But the rider is the problem, the dragon was tamed and now, the Chosen One of the Ash King controlled it, it was a nightmare. And what made Dave most confused was how in God's name did they tame it.
That thing was a mass murderer, a killer, and a predator by birth and instinct. Nothing short of a god could bend it to its will.
Then it struck him, could it be that simple? Dave thought.
He gathered the few clues in his head and made a theory, something that he thought too improbable but nevertheless the most likely theory that would explain what went on.
Dave muttered under his breath, "Pandora's Box, it all fit. The demand Qin army did all they could to raid the monetary in the Mountains of Glory and steal the box from the Sea Goddess Temple. The Sea Goddess must have been using that thing to control the creatures of the sea, for example, the Kraken, a Deity in its own right, not as strong as the dragon but still a god of the sea. How could it tolerate being ordered around by another mighty being unless something made it do it? Pandora's box, it must be it."
Dave convinced himself that the dragon was being forcefully controlled, if he could break the control perhaps the dragon would leave and dump the dammed chosen one, or perhaps the damned thing could turn against Dave and eat him just out of spite.
But knowing the cause was not the solution, Dave still needed to confirm his suspicions and even if he did it, what could he do to break the control?
Dave gritted his teeth and thought, "We cross that bridge once we get there, Tiny, keep up!"
Tiny Screeched louder and kept moving ahead.
On the horizon, Dave noticed a small dot, "That's it, Tiny, great job that's the dragon!" Dave shouted.
He then looked below him and saw the massive lands blurring under him while he flew. They were going at an incredible speed.
He then received a message from Perfect, "Skelly, the dragon just went over us! It's still moving toward Urburg!"
"I know, I saw it, I'm ing in hot!"
Almost immediately, Dave spotted the undead under him, even from high up in the sky, Dave could see the congregation of undead tightly packed into square formations and moving in unison ahead.
He flew over them and kept his pace. At this rate, he would reach Urburg in less than ten minutes. He had to think up a plan, in ten minutes, he needed a plan to break the dragon's assault. Time! He needed time.
The gears in Dave's mind spun fast enough he could almost feel them overheating.
"What the hell can I do?!" Dave shouted to himself in frustration. "There is nothing that could stop that dammed lizard," He grunted, he knew it was hopeless, he knew that he was like a praying mantis trying to stop a carriage.
Doom was ing to his city, and only he was in a position to stop it, but he was powerless, the creature was never something that could be killed or stopped by low-level players. The only time the being was ever hampered was when the White Ghost used his "Banishment Forbidden Chapter
