Chapter 955: New Auxiliary Mini Quest
"There they are!"
I saw above the skies the Four Dragon Spirits fighting the figures wearing black robes, they were three figures, yet they were overflowing with power. Miasma, Nether, and Demonic Energy again. They reminded me of the chimeras we\'ve fought back in the Luminous Kingdom\'s capital.
Most of the Lesser Spirits were already dead, their power was considerable. The four Dragon Spirits were barely holding them back, but I could already notice their Spiritual Bodies beginning to weaken and fade away.
Soul-bound Spirits like them go back to their master once they fade away, slowly regenerating inside of my Draconic Heart, but if possible, I would prefer if they didn\'t go through any of such pain.
"Familiars! Surround them, quickly!"
My Familiars leaped into action, all of them appeared around the robbed men and attacked, unleashing a bombardment of explosions of magic of most elements.
At the same time, my vision was slightly blurred by a new system notification.
Ding!
[You\'ve triggered a new Auxiliary Mini Quest: {Capture Or Defeat The Mysterious Figures!}
[You\'ve found out that there are three mysteriously robbed men trying to clean the ruins from any evidence left! You must quickly hurry up and either capture them or defeat them before they escape!]
[Completing this Mini Quest might greatly change the outcome of the next Scenario!]
[Quest Conditions]: [Defeat or Capture the targets.]
[Completion Rewards]: [Large Quantity of Score Points.]
[Time Limit]: [Same Time Limit as the Break Time Limit.]
I suppose this was to be expected.
BAAAM!
I landed on the floor with a thunderous sound, putting all my strength to shake the entire area and shook the mysterious people. Their eyes shone bright red to greet me, the wind released from my arrival quickly lifting their hoods to reveal their true appearances.
Two of them were Ancient Elves, with dry-looking silver hair and red eyes. One of them was a Divine Dragon, covered on silver scales and with short black hair. The moment they saw me and the Aura I released, they quickly seemed to recognize who I was.
"That\'s the woman that has been ruining everything so far!"
"Our master said she was a tremendous nuisance!"
"Should we kill her?"
The three started chatting with one another, without even paying attention to me or my familiars. I quickly called back my Dragon Spirits, who were too exhausted, as I sprinted towards them. Each of my steps released shockwaves of divine spiritual energy, covering the area with plants and spiritual essence, a Domain and a Terrain were formed within seconds.
"Don\'t you think you should be worrying about surviving instead of considering killing me?!" I roared, wielding Gram and Gaia\'s All-Purpose-Tool, which I shaped into a sword. "{Holy Blade Dance}! {Consecutive Dashing Strikes}!"
I activated two of the Sword techniques I had unlocked after the Skill reached Level 4, my swords and my body being quickly encompassed by a Heroic Aura of Holy Light. With a swift spin, I leaped towards them, swinging both of my blades while dancing within my domain. My speed and my dexterity increasing exponentially as each of my attacks released waves of light.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
The trio was unable to defend in time, the elves were immediately pushed back, as I noticed black armor protecting their bodies below their black robes. The divine dragon, however, stepped forwards instead, swinging his sharp metallic claws against me with a mighty roar.
"Do you think I am afraid of you?! We\'ll complete our mission no matter what!"
His claws clashed against my swords, but that\'s where my second technique came into use, the moment he stopped my dancing attacks, my swords shone with the accumulated energy of the previous hits that landed on my targets. A barrage of piercing and stabbing strikes were unleashed, as I moved my arms so fast I could barely see them, only resembling explosions of flashing light.
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!
"Uuuaaggh! W-What the…?!"
The Divine Dragon was pushed back, revealing that he was not wearing armor, confident on the scales covering his body. A terrible decision! He glared at me with fury, his power rising as it surged like an endless wave of darkness from within his body.
"You damn…! You two, escape while you can!" He roared. "I will take care of her now and return to you once I\'m done!"
As he said that, the other two ancient elves started running, conjuring powerful Magic from rings and accessories they were wearing, pushing back even my Familiars. Despite this being a mere intermission, these guys weren\'t weak at all!
However, thankfully, Mark, Rita, and Lily stopped them, quickly pushing them back, while my Familiars surrounded them. Yeah, you are not going anywhere!
"Who are you taking care of?! Stop looking down on me!" I lost my patience, appearing right above him. My horns discharged all the power I had, a lightning strike engulfed the divine dragon, his body was once more thrown away, landing on the floor and collapsing the ground, leaving behind a huge crater.
"Ugh…! Ha… KAHAHA!" However, the Divine Dragon laughed as he vomited blood. "Foolish woman, do you truly believe a Divine Dragon\'s strength is based in their weakest form, their Dragonoid appearance?!"
FLAAASH!
His body was engulfed on silver and black light, as his appearance quickly changed. He became an over seventy-meter-tall black and silver dragon. His original appearance having been corrupted by the new powers he had been granted. He was becoming something else, a Demonic Dragon of sorts.
"Hahahaha! Do you see?! Can you even match my true form, you little elf?" He laughed.
"Elf?" I wondered, as his claws descended towards me, releasing an explosion of black and silver flames once they impacted.
BOOOM!
However, what greeted his claws instead of a corpse was something else, another dragon claw, made of wood, stone, earth, and golden scales.
"Let me tell you, I am not an elf."
"What?!"
