( Rocky's POV )
Unlike other newbies, Rocky was unaffected by dragon's fear as he gazed upon the flying beast undeterred.
Of all the myriad species present within the tower, Rocky was the most curious about coming face to face with the dragon species one day.
As the two bone dragons emerged out of the tower and took to the sky. Rocky realized that the size of each bone dragon was like that of a ten storey building as those things were absolutely massive.
*SCREECH*
Instead of a true dragon's roar, a visceral shout that could induce fear in those who heard it through voice alone, the bone dragons could only produce ear numbing screeches at best, however, even those screeches made many climbers go white with fear.
On-top of the two bone dragons were dragon riders. High level undead troops whose strength was equivalent to a floor 50 climber.
Coupled with their formidable mount, they were entities that could destroy entire armies alone.
*Prrrrrr*
Unfortunately, the two bone dragons were not the only worrying thing for earthlings as apart from the dragons, there were countless small bone wyverns in the air, which were equal parts as dangerous.
Without wasting any time, from the moment this air-borne legion emerged they had their sights fixed on the long range weaponry of the Earthen army.
The mortars, the arch ballistae, the crossbows.
Basically, all the massive machinery that was converting the blast zone into a constant kill zone was the infrastructure they wished to target, as flying over the front lines, they immediately headed towards the machinery.
"INCOMING-" Rocky heard someone scream behind him, as the entire aerial unit skipped the front and reserve lines and began attacking the Earthen back lines.
"Not good.... Not good at all-" muttered Paladin Patrik under his breath as he understood that Earth was very ill-equipped to deal with aerial threats in this raid.
While they did have capable archers and mages in the backlines, the fight against the massive dragons was surely not going to be easy.
For a few minutes, the war intensified on all ends.
The front line fighters kept fighting against the ground troops with all the might that they had.
The back line fighters kept taking down as many wyverns as they could and tried to protect the heavy attack machinery, however, slowly but surely, the dragons were breaking them down.
As a trickle down effect, Rocky could see how the blast zone became more and more ineffective with the loss of heavy attack machinery and how the fighting at the front lines kept intensifying.
At this rate, unless someone took down the bone dragons quickly, the situation would continue to degrade for Earth's forces, as the momentum seemed to have shifted from being in their favor to being in the favor of the enemy.

( Meanwhile, Cody )
Association Leader Cody understood the importance of defeating the Bone Dragons immediately, but also understood that Earth had no mage powerful enough to take them down alone.
Failure Penalty - None
Do you wish to accept it?
Yes
No ]
Suddenly a quest window popped in front of Rocky, taking him by surprise.
"Huh, the strongest system awakened at such a time?" Rocky muttered under his breath, as he read the quest description and raised an eyebrow at the rewards.
This was the first time that the system was going to give him a reward for just accepting the quest and without any failure penalties at that.
"Almost too good to be true...." Rocky murmured, however, having faith in the system he decided to accept the quest.
[ Strongest System Notification - The quest 'Birth Of A Hero' has been accepted, distributing rewards ]
Rocky saw the system panel change from the quest menu to a message that said distributing rewards, however, even after a few seconds passing, Rocky felt or saw no visible change in his body.
"Where is the reward?" Rocky wondered as he looked around, until suddenly seemingly out of nowhere, a man with blood red eyes appeared in front of him.
"Whoa-" Rocky muttered in panic, swinging his sword at the sudden intruder, however, his sword passed straight through the red eyed man, as if he were just an illusion.
The man smiled, being ever so calm as he let Rocky calmly assess his facial features.
Long black hair, blood red eyes, pale white skin, a scar across his right eye....
"Y-y-you are...." Rocky said, almost choking on his own words as his heart beat wildly out of his own chest.
"No way.... No.... Really?" Rocky muttered in disbelief, as despite the accessory around his neck that helped him maintain rational thought, Rocky could not compose himself in the presence of this God.
"Hahaha....yes it's me... Ravan" the red eyed man said, as Rocky stared at him jaw agape.
The war god!
The progenitor of enhanced vampires!
The destroyer of worlds!
The strongest vampire in the history of the tower!
One half of the Gemini brothers, Ravan The Blood Monarch was standing in front of him!
