Chapter 13: 17
Seeing and feeling the incredible heat from the red line rushing towards him, the dragon knew it wasn't going to survive so it immediately accepted it's death and soon everything went dark as it saw its last.
"Did this idiot think I captured it just so I can kill it specially or something?" Kingsley said in an amused tone as he wiped his right hand with his left
"Damn those scales are hard as f**k…. Had two potential dragon turn into something else and this bastard reduced that to only one" Kingsley complained
This entire space was a 'pen' he built specially to keep the dragons and dragon-related creatures he had captured so far. Kingsley's imagination may have been lacking ever since he arrived on this planet but it didn't mean that he was absolutely dumb. He had created this tesseract for the purpose of keeping the dragons in areas somewhat like their native home.
Since there were only two actual dragons, he had captured, Kingsley divided the space into two to suite their element better. This fire dragon had a volcanic region on the other side of the tesseract and the dead blue dragon owned this location but in it's search for dominance, it had killed the only other dragon in the space.
"Well at least I have hundreds of thousands of Wyverns in this place" Kingsley said to console himself
Turning to look at the dead blue dragon, Kingsley sighed at the waste of good resources then made the earth swallow it's corpse and turning towards the red one, Kingsley created one of his famous Evolution crystals.
He didn't need to make it obey him or subdue it like the protagonists did in many fantasy stories, he just needed to feed it an evolution crystal and boom!! It was eternally loyal to him. Not only that, the dragon would gain even more power which would add to his territory's power.
"lets see what you turn into" Kingsley said as he melted the crystal into liquid and manipulated it to flow into the unconscious creatures mouth and after ensuring that everything had gotten in, Kingsley froze its movements like he had done with Viktor in the very beginning.
A few seconds later, a loud growl was heard and Kingsley smiled knowing that the evolution had begun. Seconds after that, the scales on the dragon began falling off one by one until all that was left was a pink chicken-like lizard.
Due to his act of freezing it's movements, the dragon wasn't really moving about so he couldn't tell if it was in pain or not but he could feel the mental state of the creature and it was surely in utter chaos. The pain was so unimaginable that the creature couldn't even formulate a single sensible thought.
"This could take some time" Kingsley said as he created a floating chair and sat on it just because he could.
...
Elsewhere, Alex and her squad were still in the K-5 and heading towards their destination. The distance covered made Alex wonder how the Orcs had somehow transported her and her people from their territory all the way to Kingsley's place.
It didn't make sense, even a vehicle as fast as the K-5 was still in transit and the place was still somewhat far away. Did they have some sort of magic skill that allowed them to teleport around.
"Your Ladyship?" a demon goblin called out
"Yes?"
"We spotted a massive orc settlement a few kilometers ahead, is your territory amongst their property" the demon goblin asked as it handed her a pair of binoculars
"Let me see" Alex said as she took the binoculars and with the help of the Demon goblin, walked to the observation deck
Looking through the binoculars, Alex could see the roofs of several leather tents inside a large clearing and some of them that were spread about in the forest probably due to their laziness to cut down the trees
"Yes but they aren't occupying my territory directly, it's the piece of unoccupied land to the west" Alex pointed out
"Well then, by the orders of his Majesty, we are to eliminate all Orc settlements around the area of the territory"
"Does it necessarily have to be all of them… I thought Kingsley wanted to recruit the Orcs into his army" Alex asked
She knew that the only reasons why Kingsley hadn't be recruiting Orcs into his ever growing army was because of her and the Demon Goblins who had some sort of vendetta to settle with the Orcs. She had seen his face contour each time an orc was killed during the last days of the event.
"His Majesty's order was to eliminate all Orc settlements around your territory, your ladyship… we can capture the orc settlements on our way back" the Demon goblin said
"Okay" Alex replied knowing that they would never go against Kingsley's orders. Viktor was God to them and Kingsley was beyond that to them so respected him just as much as they respected Viktor even Kingsley, himself believed otherwise.
"Central Command, this is Captain Teria requesting permission to engage the enemy's forces" the demon goblin said as he stood up and immediately got into combat mode
"Permission granted, however ensure the safety of her ladyship during the battle" Viktor's voice sounded in their minds but none of them flinched since they were used to it
"We will, sire" Teria replied then turned to his men who were now standing up and fully ready for combat
"Alright, you heard the man, move it!!" Teria shouted as the door of the K-5 opened up
"what are you doing?" Alex asked since they were still high up in the air
"For maximum speed, we are dropping into the enemy territory from above, they would never expect it" Teria replied and started walking towards the open door
"Every one out!!" he shouted as the goblins began jumping out of the aircraft
"they don't have any parachutes on…." Alex screamed only to watch as the first demon goblin to jump out performed a beautiful flip in the air and landed perfectly forming a large crater in his wake.
Seeing the incredible show of body strength and durability, Alex could only stare in shock and awe. It was as though she was watching some superhero movie in real life, she had never seen or heard of anyone who fell from such a height and remain unscathed.
"You two stay behind to ensure her safety" Teria commanded stopping two demon goblins from jumping out
The two saluted and returned to Alex's side to guard her as Teria jumped out of the carrier and began his descent into enemy territory. Flipping himself around so he could land with his legs, Teria landed with a loud boom as a cloud of dust was raised.
"Fan out and kill all that moves" Teria ordered as the soldiers immediately began to shoot at the orcs who had were still stunned by their sudden appearance.
The goblin fired their rifles at all, from Orc children to their mothers and the leaders of the settlement. Since Kingsley had finally agreed to hand them the assault rifles, things have been very different. Each goblin was now capable of eliminating an entire tribe alone.
"Who are you?" a voice called out as one of the goblins around Teria was sent flying
"Attention, Enemy Orc King has been f…."
Boom!!
A loud gunshot was heard as Teria saw a bullet pierce through the creature's thigh, it seemed that his announcement was useless, Alex had found him and from her choice of target, to was clear she wanted to make the Orc suffer as much as possible.
"Leave this to us!" a feminine voice was heard as Teria turned back to see H'tia and her fellow High Orcs ready for combat.
"As you wish" Teria replied since it was an order from Kingsley to let them fight their battle alone.
This Orc King traumatized them and for them to get over it, they had to face up against this one in particular. They had to see that it was just an Orc King, it may be powerful but it didn't deserves spot in their lives.
The High Orcs immediately surrounded the creature who was still groaning and rubbing it's wound. From its actions, it was clear that it hadn't experienced anything like this.
"What atrocities has my tribe committed to deserve such an ending" The Orc king asked but the High Orcs simply waited for him to stand while they surrounded him
"You don't remember me?" H'tia asked as she picked up her sword and walked up to face the orc
"Why should I know you?…. what importance do you have?" The Orc asked as it rose up from the ground with even more vigor knowing what was about to happen
He could see that these High Orcs were all stronger than a normal High Orc for some reason so fighting all of them at ones would only be his death but since the female High Orc before him had chosen death then he shall deliver as promised. Taking the expression of shock on H'tia's face as a sign, the Orc King immediately charged towards her at speeds even Alex's scope couldn't follow
