Book 6: Chapter 31

Kax walked through the red portal and shielded his eyes from the sudden bright glare. When he was accustomed to the lighting, he lowered his arm and looked around. His surroundings were lush and green, and a faint fog lingered in the area. The red portal closed behind Kax, and a message was transmitted from the root bracelet on his wrist into his mind. A surprise war of conquest has been declared. Destroy the dimensional monument to secure victory.

This place reminds me of the wilderness, Tafel said, looking through a portal that was floating in front of her face. Above her, there was another portal that was rotating in place.

Neat trick, Lindyss said to Tafel as her eyes shifted towards the sky where Tafels portal was stationed.

Thanks, Tafel said, the view in front of her face changing as the portal above her head rotated to survey their surroundings. I picked it up recently. After reading through the Tricksters Book, I realized I wasnt being creative enough with my abilities.

Is that so? Lindyss nodded. Good for you. Her nose wrinkled as she looked around. Vur. Did you get to pick the location of the residence you wanted to raid?

Vur nodded. This one is the best. It comes with a Tree of Knowledge.

Elves? Lindyss asked. I swear I can smell them.

Vur nodded again.

An elven grotto, Gaegukja Yeol said after listening in on the conversation. I cant believe the tower allowed you to invade an elven grotto without any preparations. Elves are. Her red eyes stopped flaring as she glanced at Lindyss. Well, I suppose you know what elves are.

Whats the plan? Deowi asked, stretching his arms by swinging them in large circles around his shoulders. Do you want me to burn the whole place down?

Gaegukja Yeol and Deowi both gulped at the same time, the flames on their bodies visibly dimming to low embers. Kax Ammer gulped as well. Then, he grinned. No matter what, he made the right choice in following the woman who had purchased his soul.

Dragon!? someone within the forest shouted.

Be calm! Theres only one! As long as we work together, its not impossible to kill!

Vur snorted, and his eyes glowed with a golden light as he stood on his hindlegs and spread out his front legs and wings, stretching his neck to make himself as large as possible. Then, the world was set ablaze. Fire filled the sky and air, but miraculously, the trees, elves, and other creatures werent burned despite their close proximity to the flames. That didnt stop the elves from screaming however.

Where did the dragon go!? Apart from all the other screams and shouts, someone asked a question that drew everyones attention.

Gaegukja Yeol whipped her head to the side to look at her brother. Is that!?

Shh! Deowi shushed his sister and pointed up. Pay attention!

An elf swallowed his saliva and turned his head side to side repeatedly while backing away with one arm held behind him. He had no idea why the flames werent touching him, but it didnt matter. All he knew was the lake was behind him, and he had to get there before the fire became hostile. His back bumped into something even though his arm held behind him hadnt touched anything. He turned his head around and froze. A dragons head and front paw were floating in front of him. He couldnt see the rest of the dragon, but that didnt matter. Just one claw was enough for the dragon to kill him. P-please, spare me!

Dimensional monument, Vur said. Where is it?

The elf swallowed. Its by the

Point, Vur said, interrupting the elf while also causing a stain to appear and grow on the poor mans pants. The elf looked around in all directions before pointing towards the direction of the village plaza while closing his eyes. Vur grunted, and the elf tensed all of the muscles in his body, his eyes still clenched shut. A long moment passed, and the elf slowly opened one eye. Then, he opened the other. The dragon had disappeared without making a sound.
