Chapter 372: Seeking Cooperation [Part 1]
Haliburn Mountain, a Mountain that was at least 12,000 meters above sea level, and home to two Elder Dragons, who called it their home.
Eizenth, was currently laying on her nest, still feeling murderous about the abduction of her child.
If not for the fact that there would certainly be powerful defensive measures in place within Dawnbreaker Academy, she would have already razed it to the ground.
The appearance of the Elder Wind Elemental was also a problem, although she was very resistant to Magic, fighting off an Elder Elemental might cause her to seriously get hurt, which was not an ideal scenario.
Because of this, she had given them an ultimatum of a week, while she waited for her Mate to return.
If he was here, she wouldn't have to worry about the Elder Wind Elemental, as well as the defensive measures of the academy.
The Professors that also specialized in combat were already gone, which would make things easier.
'Don't worry, Child, I will avenge you,' Eizenth vowed bitterly as she looked at the place in her nest, where her egg used to be.
Suddenly, she heard a loud explosion at the entrance of her cave, making her raise her head with a frown.
"Are you Eizenth?" Professor Barret asked in a loud and intimidating voice. "Speak up or I will kill you where you lay."
"Kill me?" Eizenth snorted as she raised her head to look down on the ants who dared to barge into her home. "I've been feeling murderous as of late. Since all of you have come here, then be prepared to die!"
Just as she was about to unleash her Dragon's Breath, a Bronze Giant suddenly lunged in her direction and smashed its fist on her face, making her take a step back.
Henry was using the 4th Stage of his Legacy, allowing him to transform into the Bronze Giant at will, but it had some limitations.
He could only use it three times a week, and each time could only last for thirty minutes.
This was the second time he was using it in a day, so he decided to go all out to pound some sense into the Elder Dragon.
Professor Barret told them that Dragons were arrogant by nature, and only recognized those with equal or stronger power than them.
Because of this, they decided to strong arm their way and force Eizenth to see reason, which she was incapable of doing in her current murderous state.
Henry pulled back his arm and activated his own ability, Titan's Strength, further increasing the force behind his blows.
Since Elder Dragons were both resistant to Physical and Magical Attacks, he needed something that would make Eizenth feel a world of pain to make her realize that they weren't pushovers.
The Bronze Giant's fist once again slammed on the Elder Dragon's head, but this time, it not only made Eizenth take a step back, it also elicited a roar of pain and anger from her.
Seeing that his attacks were now working, Henry unleashed punches, and kicks, against his opponent, who was just as big as him.
It was a clash between Giants and, currently, the one who had the upper hand was none other than the Head Prefect of Dud Manor.
But, after the initial surprise attack, Eizenth recovered her bearings and lashed out against the Bronze Giant with her tail, sending the latter flying.
The moment Henry was pushed back, countless Golden Chains descended towards Eizenth, holding her in place.
While Henry was distracting the Elder Dragon, Professor Barret had spread his chains around the cavern, creating an intricate formation, similar to that of a spider's web.
He planned to bind Eizenth in place, so that Henry could attack her without holding back.
This was of course, a very optimistic scenario where their opponent would not resist, and let them smack her to oblivion.
Unfortunately, reality was different.
After being bound by countless chains, the Elder Dragon roared, and used brute strength to snap the chains in half, freeing herself.
However, Professor Barret had already expected this, so he unleashed more chains, increasing their numbers, and coiled them around the Elder Dragon's jaw, neck, arms, legs, and tail.
Ethan wasn't being idle either.
As soon as Professor Barret unleashed his second wave of binding, he unleashed the power of Sebastian and the Sea God's Trident.
But, that was not all, he also asked the help of the Mermaid Princess, who would always stand by his side.
"Illumina!"
Ethan's wand transformed into the Mermaid Princess, who swam on the sea water that was summoned by the blue gem of the Sea God's Trident.
To Ethan's surprise, Illumina made a beeline towards the Elder Dragon's face, and used her tail to give Eizenth a resounding slap, which surprisingly sent the Elder Dragon's body smashing towards the wall of the cavern.
"… Was she always that strong?" Ethan asked Sebastian and his Other Half, who were just as surprised as him.
"I knew that Mermaid Princesses were strong, and powerful, but this is the first time I'm seeing one fight like this," Sebastian commented. "Usually, they just hurl long distance spells, and overpower their enemy through magic. It seems that Illumina hadn't shown us her true strength."
"Be careful, Ethan," Ethan's Other Half chuckled. "I don't know if it is true, but they say that Mermaid Princesses are very possessive. You might get fish slapped, just like that Elder Dragon, and from the look of it, it's bound to hurt a lot."
Ethan ignored his Other Half's comment and shifted his attention back to the battlefield.
With Illumina's power, she had trapped the Elder Dragon in a dome of water, where the Mermaid Princess was completely in her element.
Professor Barret's chains still bound the Elder Dragon, so Illumina's attacks hit her target perfectly, making Eizenth unable to do anything.
A few seconds later, Henry once again joined the battle.
The funny part about this was that the Bronze Giant had no problems moving, and fighting in the water.
With two hard hitters, smacking Eizenth left and right, and Professor Barret's binding, the Elder Dragon was reduced to a sorry state.
However, she was still not defeated.
If they were fighting at sea, Ethan would just have bound Eizenth's body and forcefully dragged her to the bottom of the sea, drowning her completely.
