Dawn at the Wild Rift (Book IV)

Chapter 39

"By the way, Lylia, where have you been lately?" Harith asks.

"What the fuck, Harith?! If you're not going to stop that acting, Imma make you explode in no time!" Lylia yells.

Her sudden outburst made Harith purse his lips together. She just had enough thinking and if she continues trying to figure out what is happening, she might lose her mind. She is on edge, however, when she realizes what just happened, she almost slaps herself.

"I'm sorry about that. I just had a lot in mind. Harley and I just returned from the Enchanted Forest..."

That very moment, Lylia realizes something. She looks around, scanning the vicinity but all that is clear is that the Black Dragon is still on a rampage.

"Hey, Harith, did the Dragon Tamers arrive?" she asks.

Dashing forward, the male Leonin shakes his head in response. "No, never seen them..."

Though he replied with the right answer, Harith wondered who these Dragon Tamers are. As far as he could remember, he knows that there is no Dragon Tamers in the Land of Dawn as of the moment but what puzzles him is that fact that he knows of them. He does not even have the slightest idea where or when he came to know their existence. Still, he brushes that idea away since he thinks that it is of no significance at all. What is important that moment is to regroup with Princess Silvanna.

With her mind swirling with seemingly endless questions, Lylia hurries up to the Land of Dawn arena to directly ask Princess Odette. She is sure that they freed the Dragon Tamers but why did they not yet arrive?

At the arena, Princess Silvanna raises her spear and a bright light beamed from it—giving signal to all her followers to be on defense. She could predict that with the Black Dragon's sudden silence, the next thing that will come will be a deafening roar and a scorching hot fire. Near her, Lunox is ready to activate her light prowess.

"After he spits out fire, attack him immediately. Don't take too long," Lunox states.

Counting from one to three, the Black Dragon flaps its wings causing a blast of strong winds down to his enemies. It opens its mouth, baring its sharp teeth and slithering tongue. The once purple color of its eyes turn fiery red yet the fire that blasts from its mouth is suddenly blue—the hottest fire of all.

Lunox knows that fact and yet, she releases her ultimate light power. Her human form vanishes and only glittering gold lights extending as far as one kilometer in radius remains of her. From within her cover, she protects the people and demons from the attack of the Black Dragon. One... two... three... Ten seconds pass—the time limit of Lunox's impenetrable light form. However, the enemy is still spitting out blue fire.

If she returns to her old form, all of them would turn into nothing but toasts. Pushing herself to the limit, Princess Silvanna could feel that the mage could no longer hold off the dragon.

Princess Odette has not yet arrived and the Paxley clan are also in their limits to even create a simple barrier against the attack.

Everyone braces themselves when they notices that Lunox's magic starts to shrink in size. Even if they will burn into dust, they would die fighting the Black Dragon.

However, the moment that Lunox returns to her human form, glowing ice shoots right up at the dragon's mouth. The next thing everyone hears is a hysterical laugh coming from the Ice Queen, Queen Aurora. Behind her is a tired Diggie trying to catch his breath.

"You peasants cannot even hold off such a disgusting creature despite outnumbering it," she claims.

With a snap of her fingers, huge ice spikes appear beneath and above the dragon. The queen clenches her fist and the ice spikes clump together, striking the dragon in-between. It let out another deafening roar of pain as purple blood oozes out from its body.
