Chapter 2028 2028. Forgot Me?

Chapter 2028 2028. Forgot Me?

Midnight's growl was the next sound heard. It was mirrored by multiple dragonkin that knew well what their missions were. They were to face the oncoming enemies that wished to interrupt their lord's slumber. To fall in line behind the young true dragon champion of the nature dragons wishing to cull this great enemy from these land. 

While this sounded dramatic, it was how the dragonkin thought. They levied for the royal dragons. They protected the youngest of the dragon hatchlings. They shared their lives within the villages. They fight beside their royal dragons. 

This was the life of a dragonkin. Therefore, they did not frown toward it. Genesis might have opened up entirely new ways for them to grow. Giving them entirely new paths to take which could allow them to be more individual. However, they had a dragon's pride. 

The trusted the dragon blood within their veins that prevented them from being a monstrous lizard man. Or from being any other form of monster. Because of this pride, they stood tall and lived the lives of warriors. 

Hence why the demi-humans had gotten along with them so incredibly well. They shared similar warrior mentalities. But where the dragonkin really stood out, was their ferocity that matched the terrifying anger of dragons. 

When a dragon was angry, even the world shivered. A saying that many would use when referring to the very powerful. Now that many people of Genesis had met dragons, they believed it was founded in truth and not just a fantastical saying. 

With Midnight charging away from the party toward the shadowy figure that she could see, the dragonkin and other available forces followed. The others were too busy growing an entire forest. They would be too tired to fight immediately anyways. Not to mention the crafters and others that would be too focused on creating weapons for the light ash wood trees. 

Walker's focus was split and he could see where Midnight was heading, but he could not see what the enemies were. However, he could sense a surprising clarity and understanding from Midnight. The same feelings that he would get when she would hear his all around appraisals. 

"You learned the skill from a spell scroll. You hid that from me." Walker whispered out loud as he channeled every bit of natural mana he could in to the magic happening where he stood. He was proud. Impressed. And greatly excited to hear what Midnight had to say for herself when she admitted to hiding her own secret. 

While it was not the same skill, Midnight had managed to gain the general appraisal skill, not the all around appraisal. But it was incredibly useful. She could use it on many things and understand it much better. 

The chances of her gaming the all around appraisal skill when using a spell scroll was very slim. Everyone had been purchasing them and hoping. especially the party members themselves. They had their own jealousy for Walker's skills. 

Yet, Midnight had been the lucky one blessed with gaining an appraisal skill. Now she could ignore using spell scrolls or even asking Walker everything. Not that she wouldn't want to hear what he had to say. But right now, she had the chance to see what monsters were coming at them. 

'Vampiric skeleton

Raised from the victims of monstrous vampires who even feed on their own vampire race, these skeletons are thralls to their killers in life. 

They have a thirst that can never be quenched. The thirst for blood can strengthen their bones but will never bring back the life they desire to have. This leads them to be full of blind rage. They can only follow the orders to attack and kill. Their intelligence completely lost due to this rage. 

While they do not feel pain, they are incredibly hard to kill since they can repair their bodies with the spilled blood around them. They are also able to use shards of their own bones to attack along with the grotesque skeletal fangs that formed when they were created by monstrous vampires.

While very resistance to physical and magical attacks, they are very weak to fire attacks. But they are also susceptible to the drastic cooling which would force them to be unable to move and easily be broken in to bone pieces that can later be burned to ashes….'

Midnight had not gotten any of the extra information Walker might have gotten. The details about how these monsters were formed. How they were controlled. Or even hope they could be purified using natural mana. These things were not general information. 

But what she had gained, was knowledge that was valuable to her. And since she ahd been working harder than any other dragon hatchling and worked to learn general language, and she had the world translating her words, she was able to shout out her orders. 

"Use fire! Freeze with ice!" 

The roar erupted in to the air as many roars from the dragonkin echoed behind her. She was not just alone. 

Now When she spotted the spiky skeletons, she understood that they ahd been broken. Damaged for years within the seal which was broken enough to let them out. They were not the most powerful enemies within that ruin, but they were the pens that ahd been freed and sent to kill everyone. 

Naturally, the vampires within the ruins who were waking up ahd connections with their bat kin. They ahd seen what was happening. They recognized the wood that could be used as damaging weapons. things that could kill them and end their immortality. 

When her claws reached the first skeleton, the tough bones were like brittle glass before her power. She was not weak by any means. She had been growing. She was larger. She was tougher. She was not a hatchling. She was making records with her strength for her age as the one and only true dragon champion. 

As her claws were wreathed in flames, Midnight's growls only grew. She allowed her instincts to guide her in battle. The many vampiric skeletons that wished to harm her family did not deserve to walk this earth. That was her pride speaking. Her pride looking down. But more than that, her desire to protect. 

Five dragonkin that followed Ignus came to her side and slashed through the vampiric skeletons with flaming swords. They stood as guardians for Midnight in particular. They disliked that a single monster of such disgusting origins would attempt to touch a dragon worthy of respect. It made their scales crawl. 

Feeling the fire mana all around her, Midnight breathed in. the five dragonkin lending their fire to her without hesitation. They had fought alongside Ignus. They could recognize what an attack would be that needed their aid to become easier. 

The horde of vampiric skeletons only continued to charge before the massive dragon fire breath lashed out in a wide array before them. Unable to scream or even sense the pain, the dragon flames only grew as those with the ability to fuel them shared their mana to do so. 

"Now that is a real dragon!" Barry shouted out as his axes slashed through ten of the attacking vampiric skeletons. Midnight almost jumped in surprise since she had completely forgotten that the powerful human and vice adventurer's guild master had been there. He has kept himself back until he was needed. Right now, was the ideal time. 

Barry had so much experience dealing with large hordes of plague inducing monsters. These were the very same that he had dealt with. Not the same species, but the same premise. They would cause ruin wherever they went. Therefore, he jumped in to battle. 

"Step back little dragon. Let me handle this so you can fight the big bad bosses later. You can use that natural mana stuff. I can't mess with magic in the slightest." Barry brandished his two massive axes. 

Midnight noticed that they were seemingly more terrifying than what she had remembered. But when she noticed the rune patterns on them and the large mana gems, she understood. They had been modified so that they would hold Barry's mana. It would extend his berserk state so that he would not be exhausted after it. He would also be able to fight for longer. 

Behind him and nearby the many dragonkin, multiple adventurers took up arms. They were not all the strongest, but they were here to protect and explore the Sigil continent. They also had the jobs to help everyone here. They could handle these monsters while the real heroes and powerful forces kept their strength for when the real fights began. This was just a day's work right now. Just doing their part. 

Midnight huffed slightly as she watched them push forward. Only a few dragonkin needing to act against the enemies being demolished before their eyes.
