Chapter 136: Storm Of Fire And Lightning
Massive explosive sounds echoed throughout the valley as Darven and Cinder made their entrance, the force of their landing shaking the earth beneath them.
The pressure of their combined weight was so immense that it caused magma to bubble up from beneath the surface, glowing in the cracks of the valley floor. However, the magma wasn\'t a threat—it was merely proof of the power these dragons commanded.
Alister stood tall on Darven\'s head, his eyes sweeping over the vast expanse of the valley.
"All sorts of monsters are slowly crawling into sight."
"But I wonder if they even realize the fate awaiting them."
...
Spectators in the live stream chat were already buzzing:
"Did you see that landing? The ground literally cracked open!"
"Those poor monsters have no idea what\'s about to hit them!"
"I can\'t believe Alister\'s dragons are this powerful... I\'m wondering why the monsters haven\'t begun running for their lives yet... They are in for a world of pain!"
Monsters of all shapes and sizes moved in the valley. Massive magma ogres with skin like cracked stone stomped around, their eyes glowing brightly.
Wyrm-like creatures slithered between the rocks, their segmented bodies covered with jagged scales that clattered as they moved.
There were also packs of shadow hounds, their bodies shifting in and out of the shadows as they prowled for prey, and massive insectoid beasts with mandibles strong enough to crush steel.
Alister spoke softly, "Cinder, you will lead the main raid. Handle the monsters with your flames, while Darven will use his lightning to stop any monster that attempts to flee since his attacks will be a lot quicker."
"That doesn\'t stop you from attacking yourself, Darven, but you must make sure no monster runs away from our end."
"Understood, my lord," they both replied.
Cinder\'s deep growl echoed before she let out a massive roar that vibrated the very sky. Her crimson eyes flared with intense heat as she opened her enormous maw.
From within, flames erupted, spewing out in a torrent. The flames roared across the valley, engulfing the monsters caught in its path.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
The comments went wild again.
"Oh man, Cinder\'s fire breath is something else! Those monsters are literally toast!"
"Literally! Look at them getting incinerated, they don\'t stand a chance!"
"Who would\'ve known watching monsters get burned alive helplessly like this would be so cool!"
"But wait, if they continue on like this how will they get any points?"
The commentators then spoke over the Livestream.
...
Elena\'s voice rang out, clearly excited. "Here it comes! Cinder\'s flames are wiping out the monsters like they\'re nothing! The power she\'s unleashing is simply terrifying."
"It\'s clear she\'s not holding back," Marcus noted. "But with Alister\'s strategy in play, they\'ll need to adjust quickly. They can\'t afford to destroy everything-not when they need the points to win the contest."
...
Alister watched calmly, the brightness of the flames reflecting in his eyes.
"Cinder," he called out. "We need to at least have the monster cores for points. Don\'t reduce everything to ash."
Cinder\'s flames immediately lessened in intensity, and she let out a rumbling, regretful growl. "My apologies, My Lord."
The fire that flowed from her maw was now not as intense but still lethal, leaving the essential monster cores intact.
Marcus commented with a hint of approval, "Smart move by Alister. They need those cores intact. Points are everything in a raid like this."
"Smooth move, Alister! It\'s all about strategy."
"This guy is always thinking two steps ahead."
"That\'s why he\'s the best-never loses sight of the goal."
Many monsters trembled, instinctively taking to their heels in fear.
"Darven..." Alister called calmly.
Darven, standing beside Cinder, let out a low growl as the skies above darkened further.
His maw opened wide, and inside, purple lightning crackled, illuminating his sharp fangs with a bright glow. The air grew thick, and the storm clouds above rumbled in response, with arcs of lightning flashing between them.
With a mighty roar, Darven unleashed a barrage of lightning from his mouth. The bolts shot forward with incredible speed, each one finding a target as if it were honing in on them.
A massive magma ogre, its skin tough as stone, was struck squarely in the chest, the lightning piercing through its heart.
The creature barely had time to realize it was dying, its momentum carrying it a few steps forward before it collapsed, smoke rising from the smoldering hole in its chest.
The lightning didn\'t stop there. It leaped from the ogre\'s body, arcing out to strike nearby monsters. A fleeing shadow hound yelped as it was electrocuted, its body vibrating violently before collapsing in a heap.
The lightning then jumped to a wyrm-like creature, splitting it in half with a sizzling crack. This chain lightning effect spread rapidly, killing multiple monsters in quick succession.
...
"This is absolute carnage!" Elena said, "Alister\'s dragons are executing his commands flawlessly. The skill, the sheer destructive force-it\'s like watching an unstoppable force of nature."
...
As they advanced, their massive feet crushed anything unfortunate enough to be in their path.
A pack of shadow hounds was reduced to pulp beneath Darven\'s clawed feet, their bodies now nothing but bloody smears on the ground.
Meanwhile, a massive insectoid creature tried to scuttle away, but Cinder\'s tail whipped around, smashing it into the ground with a sickening BOOM, crushing it instantly.
Alister stood at the top, his eyes observing the battlefield. His dragons were performing perfectly, just as he expected. As he surveyed the carnage, the ping of system notifications
filled his mind.
[Level up!]
[Level up!]
[Current level: 27.]
\'Leveling here seems rather easy. Must be due to the fact the place is crawling with high-level
monsters,\' Alister thought.
\'At this rate, it will soon be time for my second awakening.\'
Suddenly, another system notification caught his attention.
[Notice to the player!]
[The player has reached the level required for "group summoning!"]
[The player can now summon multiple dragons at a time, although the designated amount
and the quality of the conduits used will determine their grade.]
