Devil's Business

Incinerate!

“Attack!”

The burly water elemental follows the order from its master and advancing towards the red dragon by forming a wave to travel forward. It latched its burly water-muscles, which somehow hardened and strengthened by its own dynamic entry, and holding the dragon’s resting right back leg with its entire might. When the dragon itself noticed the water elemental and its attack, the water elemental’s body got frozen in place and locking the dragon’s position on the ground.

“Graaa!”

The water elemental apparently not finished as the liquid version of the summoned creature was moving to the left front leg of the dragon. It does the similar to its course over the dragon’s rear and making the dragon troubled to balance its way to stand, dropping it forcefully with the amount of energy that he has let out to levitate.

“Nice one, Zeke!” Clamored Juno from the back of the dragon.

However, the dragon itself is competent in battle. While being fastened down by the enemies would surely brought doom over his fate, its reflex and intellect carried him to burst the flame onto its own joints. The scorching blaze from the dragon itself might be futile, but effective to liberate himself out from misery.

The dragon then clamored against the three humans,“Hah, puny mortal! Think you can have me down with that?” and by the boiling point of its freedom, the dragon boasts its victory with its wings that flapping to lift the beast upwards. Zeke tried to conjure several cones of ice to its wings, yet the sturdy scale of the dragon are impenetrable and prevailed.

(Crash!)

“Why’s the beast leaving? It should have won the brawl, right?” Zeke scratched his hair out of confusion. His siblings got the same questionable thoughts and tilting her heads to the right by the baffling situation, but could not muster enough reason to guide them onwards. Much to the concern over the dragon’s current act, Juno then jetting out from the vault immediately and waving his hands to the two siblings for leading them to follow the beast,”Come on! We have to defeat this dragon for going further!” He shouted.

The three of them then running across the street to Selima city, only to see the beast’s gliding to Suna and destroying the country’s out in a single dive. He rampaged over the innocent residents of the city, gnawing every demons alive to satisfy its appetite and greed. As he consumed the demons out of the country, its body got much bigger and fearsome by tons of flesh that he has digested. The city’s sentinel applied their bow and arrow assault upon Suna’s bastion, while their magician concocted cones of ice to the beast in an effort to injure the dragon. It was all but a complete and misguided prompt of defense, since the dragon simply swept them out with its humongous tail whip.

“I suppose that’s why you’re so ecstatic to see me, right? You have no power to face that kind of crazy beast, huh.” Juno laid his thought when they runs to the beast’s direction.

“Kind of. When we firstly arrived to the scene, we don’t even wish to getting closer at once.” Added Zeke for an answer. Selena also affirmed it with a nod,”We are going nowhere, Juno. That beast is scary!”

As the uttermost destruction of the city concluded in fifteen minutes short, The red dragon has a wholly bounce over its mass and bulking twice its size of its former ones. Its jaw has bigger and much sharpened fangs than ever before, in addition with its keen eyesight and prowess that the dragon has attained at the moment.

“Look, he’s coming back!” Zeke shouted while pointed his fingers to the air.

The dragon is moving forward to its next target, which was straightened out to Selima city itself. On the other way around, Juno and his party are preparing for the battle with themselves conjuring their own prowess for the following encounter.

“Time to settle up the booster, then. Push your available power to the limit, Zeke, Selena!”

As an adept summoner, Zeke called three elementals to aid him, while Selena enforced them with supportive magic to provide their advance with extra knockdown. Beside the two sibling’s assemblage of power, Juno himself puts the remaining 800 millions of cash to his deposit in hope of finishing the enemy in one instant hit.

(Crash!)

To welcome the humongous beast home, Juno jumps over its head to lay down a blast with his two swords across the back of his neck. It does not given a fruitful damage to the beast, but starting to scrape an injury on its durable skin.

“Haha, how is it? I’m growing myself just for you, mortal!” The dragon shouted. Juno replies it with one following instance of gale from his sword,“For a demon, you’re surely a perfectionist, master dragon!” Juno shouted afterwards.

However, down the land of where the two of his fellow heroes stood, Zeke and Selena have to encounter one herd of ghouls. It somewhat summoned right on, completely caught the two of them off-guard.

“What’s this? How could they-“

“Watch out and stay beside me at all cost, Selena!” Commanded Zeke to his sister, which was then stood adjacent to his brother with her protection bubble to cover them both.

The two assault elementals of Zeke are running rampant to the rudimentary creatures of hell. Zeke’s fire elemental is blazing its area of impact with one-scorching flame to eliminate a cluster of ghouls, but has to defeat some of the other with its bare fist of heat. In opposite of the flame, the thunder elemental has thrown a jolt of electricity to its surroundings and stunned them all in place. The supportive measure from the thunder elemental was creating a chance to the stone elemental to smash them all out instantly without breaking a sweat.

“Lightning blast!”

Numerous array of shimmering light were summoned out from the combination attack of the two siblings. It decimates a line of unaware ghouls who were trying to knock down the stone elemental with their numbers. Their protective bubble brings safety to their blind spot, adequately defending them out from harm caused by the lurking beasts behind.

(Bam!)

“Hyaa! Taste this, filthy bastards!”

When Juno landed on the ground, he also have to flush out the bustling ghouls with his two swords. He whirled it up like a typhoon around him to create a searing force of blades against the horde of ghouls who were waiting any chance to beat him up into pulp. This movement eventually drained his stamina, but also sufficient to kill more than a hundred ghouls in his area. When he does have to rest his muscle out, Juno changed his approach by slashing the enemies down with his basic attack to fill up his energy before doing another set of swirling attack.

The three of them are all neglecting the dragon and its actual reason to fight for the time being. It arrived to the desired destination and thumping its gigantic body to every direction, while also whipping its tail to the back for another resort of terror to the land-dweller of hell. Thousands scream of pain from the city’s wealthy residents exerting the horrendous assault from the beast and its rage. For an increase towards its own might as similar to the latest skirmish upon Suna, the dragon also eats the city’s residents for nutrients of its growth.

“Yum-yum!”

Like a thousand-year sleeping beast, the dragon indulges over the demon resident’s fresh meat as if it has not eaten in decades past. Piles of gold from his lair could not appease the beast’s delight over the long-term starve that the dragon has to endure in his self-induced hibernation. At times, the dragon tried to be picky towards which person he needs to feast upon, but still carry on devouring every living demon in sight nonetheless. Of all the available ingredients, he always famished over a demon with high intake of calories down their torso, and being nestled within the wealthy area of the city sounds fascinating for him to find such delicacy.

When he finished his breakfast with a plate of demon’s beef, the dragon takes off once again to enter his lair. His appetite for a punch-up has declined steadily over two courses of travel towards the two city. As he reached the bank vault, the dragon sees nothing over the human’s fistfight areas. There are mountains of ghoul’s dead bodies, yet the heroes’ presence were not suffice to the dragon’s field of vision.

The dragon laughed,”Hahaha! They are a newcomer, much alike with-“

“Haaa!”

A barrage of attack are appearing from above the beast as he flew down the vault’s crevice over the roof. That was all Juno’s, who was having himself a bullet-speed sprint towards the vault with extra-kick from Selena’s magic. With extra-momentum from his run, the dragon is crashing down the bank vault by the tremendous impact and demolishing the entire building in one shot.

“How could you-“

Juno continues to bring yet another course of damage towards the dragon’s wing to disable him for good. He stabbed the wing’s rather-thin membrane and poke holes to numerous places. He then mumbled in excitement over his advantage against the dragon,“And now, this would be-“

“Enough!”

The dragon seemed fed up with the human hero’s nuisance over his own body and bursting himself in flame for driving the man off. Juno does not budge at first and keeping his work of art towards the dragon’s wings, but somehow the fire has heated up against his own limit to sustain.

“I have to admit, mortal. You’re so headstrong for taken me this far.” Praised the dragon.

Juno sees the dragon has fully-covered in flames at the moment. It was weird and unable to fathom, but the fire itself are surely dangerous and damaging his own morale a little. No wonder, he could feel a surging increase in temperature right after he engaged with the blaze, a normal conscience for a creature on hell with their own surprising features that are seemingly unbelievable to behold.

The dragon’s keen senses sniffled a nature of fear under the tension from the human hero. He chuckled towards how a simple improvement from his end could bring a terror to human head and mocking him with its grin,”Hahaha! This is but a k****e fire to me, mortal. Have you ever sit in a lava pit?”

In the dwindling distress upon Juno and his failure to find a best way to treat over the unfair situation, the two siblings arrived on the scene.

“Oh no, I can’t  do anything against that, can I?” Selena got herself trembled  by the drastic change over the beast’s entire body and the blue flame it has enjoyed upon. Zeke even have to calm her down by scrubbing her head for comfort.

“Juno can do this, but he wished for that magic, sister.” Uttered Zeke along with his consolation.

“Really? I’ve never do this for weeks! But I’ll try.”

Juno wanted to disrupt Zeke’s soothing statements back then due to all burden upon his bottom, but realizing that facing the beast is much more essential than impinge upon how he should not be the backbone of their own strategy at all times. After all, he also does not know of what kinds of magical properties that he could retrieve from Selena. It could be grand or worse, depending on how effective it is against cursed flame of the red dragon.

Selena recites a line of spell under her protection bubble to cover her against the inevitable harm from the beast’s fire. On the other way, the dragon does not let himself idle towards the moment of his enemies’ attempt, as the beast itself begins to charge a flame in its mouth.

“Be quick, Selena, or we’ll be dead by that much of fire!”
