143 So... It started?

At that moment, Talia vanished without a single trace. While, on the other hand, Mathew transformed into a chicken--resembling a fighting cock, that was almost as tall as Sabrina's transformation.

It had dominant black and red-colored feathers that were mixed with a few yellow, blue, violet, and orange-colored feathers on its tail, its wings, and the comb on its head. While his black eyes glanced around as if he was finding food to peck.

"Boook!" Mathew cried.

"That's some big assed cock!" Lony said as he forced out a smile.

Fortunately, for some reason, Mathew did not hear what he said and had seemingly made a few slight bows towards Pedro before moving away from everyone to 'familiarize' himself with his transformation and its limits.

Pedro simply grinned in response and thought, 'It seems like increasing the level of a transformation skill also increases its size.'

This, in turn, caught the attention of Lony, Roval, and Yojiro. That said, he simply smiled towards them and said, "Let's eat! After they familiarize themselves with their transformation, we'll head straight towards our enemy and show them our strength."

They nodded in response as Pedro chowed down his food. It might not seem like it but... Lony and Roval were filled with excitement. A few hours ago, they were being chased by that same group of players.

But with Pedro's precense, the rank one player in the world, together with his dragon transformation, Lony and Roval had an assurance that they would be able to get their revenge to the United Players.

Several minutes later, Pedro had recieved a message from his Aunt, telling him that they had arrived at the shore. However, the enemy, with an army of twenty thousand players, were already charging at the plains a kilometer away from them.

Fortunately, his cousin had scattered their thousand men. Thus, they were able to temporarily hold off the enemies. That said, they were being pushed meter by meter as more players on the enemies' side arrives.

"So... It started?!" Pedro stood with a frown on his face and glanced towards Sabrina and Arvedar--who were flying in the air, and Mathew--who was leaping twenty to forty meters high. "It's time! Let's go!"

Lony, Roval, and Yojiro stood and dusted of their clothes, while Mathew took another leap, landing directly meters away from Pedro. On the other hand, Sabrina and Arvedar circled around them--waiting for Pedro to transform into his dragon form and follow his lead.

At the same time, holes after holes in the ground started to appear as millions of ants started to appear.

"Not bad!" Mathew chuckled towards Talia.

"Hmph! Just you wait brother! I'll let you see how powerful my transformation is!" Talia grumbled, not even stoling a single glance towards Mathew.

Mathew simply laughed in response. Then, he asked, "Do you even need to ride expert brother's back?"

Talia glanced at him with a frown and said, "No! But I want to experience ridding a Dragon!"

Before things could go south, Pedro interrupted them with a clap and said, "Argue later! We need to go now!"

Pedro transformed into his Dragon form and laid his tail for everyone else to use in order to climb on his back. Lony and Roval were the first ones to climb and sat, and was followed by Yojiro. Talia followed them--full of glee and excitement, as Mathew shook his head behind her.

'How embarassing!' Mathew thought after caughting a glance of Pedro, who watched them climb his back.

However, Pedro did not gave them that much time to find a comfortable seat. The moment that Talia and Mathew sat, he leaped into the sky--forcing everyone to grab, tightly, on the spikey scales of his back.

"Aaaaaah!" Talia and Mathew shouted as if they were ridding a roller coaster. The wind blew to their faces as if it wanted to separate their skin from their bones.

Soon, Pedro reached the peak of his jump--allowing Mathew, Yojiro, and Talia to relax. That said, Mathew noticed Lony and Roval was bracing to Pedro's spikey scales, even tighter.

Unfortunately, before he could react, Pedro dived back to the ground, giving them another ride similar to a roller coaster. But this time, it was more nerve racking as Pedro only flapped his wings and glidded several meters before they hit the ground.

"We-e-e-e-lco-o-o-o-me to-o-o-o-o Dra-a-a-a-agon E-e-e-e-e-express!" Lony said as he smiled towards Mathew, Yojiro, and Talia.

Mathew and Yojiro could only force out a smile, while Talia seemed to be enjoying the ride. That said, whether they like it or not, Pedro did it a couple of times. He would tend to fly high, then, glide downwards. That way, he accelerated faster, at the same time, he was able to take a couple of rest from time to time.

With Arvedar and Sabrina behind him, they resembled three planes that were about to attack. Pedro grinned after seeing this and roared, saying, "Attack team, on bound! ETA thirty minutes!"
