Dragon King's Harem Chapter 195. The Orc's Arrival III
Uraugh answered it with a roar that shook the ground. The ground beneath him turned into earth lances that flew at us ferociously. Like an army of warriors throwing their greatswords to us.
Just like him, I responded with another roar. It was an order to attack. At the same time, I turned into my true form since I wanted to end it here, right now. So I would use my fullest power and made him regret his decision to come here.
Upon my roar, the dragons spewed their hottest flames at the orcs. Which was followed by me.
'Magma Typhoon.'
I didn't hesitate to use my high-level skill to kill them all. It was an area skill, but Dragon had much higher Fire Resistance while the orcs were weak on fire so that should be fine.
The sky above us turned dark. The wind blew violently. Slowly, the clouds heated up and spun rapidly before they turned red terrifying flames. It manifested into magma that was revolving in a gigantic vortex.
The dragons' fire clashed with the earth lances in the mid-air. No explosion sound was heard. Instead, our fire easily melted the lances without a trace and charged at the orcs mercilessly.
Unexpectedly, to counter our attacks, the orcs' army used their skills at the same time. The ground shook violently once again. The earth around them rose rapidly and created a gigantic earth dome that protected them from attacks from all directions.
A smirk appeared on my face, revealing my sharp teeth. Even if it was enough to protect them for a while, hiding in the dome was tantamount to waiting for their death. It was the same as trapping themselves.
Due to that counter, the dragons mustered their hottest fire skill. My Magma Typhoon spewed hot magma to the dome. In an instant, everything beneath us turned into a sea of raging fire. I thought the dome would melt like the spikes, but I was wrong. Indeed the heat was able to turn part of the dome into embers. But it didn't crumble. It maintained the shape well, a sign that they put a lot of Mana to maintain it.
As if on cue the dragons roared once again before they flew around like birds of prey awaiting the death of a dying turtle. As per my first command, all of them attacked the dome with their fire skills from a distance. Even though it consumed our Mana, it was our best choice. Besides, my Magma Typhoon also covered the dome fiercely. I was sure the temperature there was no different from an oven. Yes, we, the dragons, baked the orcs alive!
Not finished there, I decided to torture them more.
'Earth Spike!'
I used another skill to attack the oven's inside, creating a perfect iron maiden for them. The spikes should be appearing inside the dome and piercing everything in it. Even if they had earth elements, in the dark they would have a hard time dodging all of it.
But then, I noticed that no damage announcements appeared in front of me. In an instant, I immediately realized that the dome was empty!
'Did they escape underground?' I guessed. But escaping with this many soldiers shouldn't be that easy. At least not this fast.
I decided to use my other skill to make sure whether the dome was empty or not.
'Earth Grave!' With that skill, I created a pair of huge hands that were raised and destroyed the dome from the inside. If the orcs weren't in it, the hands should be able to break it easily but if they were there, the orcs should withstand the attack with their Mana.
Just a split second later, my earth hands burst out from inside the dome, like a chick breaking its shell, showing that the dome was completely empty. Not only that, some of the huge holes there explain how they could escape.
The dragons' eyes widened in surprise. Likewise with me. A roar of anger escaped my mouth. I couldn't believe that I would fall into this cheap trick and let my prey escape right under my nose.
Eir quickly flew to me. As he approached, he turned into his humanoid form.
“Should we go after them, Your Majesty?” he asked. In contrast to his casual self when he served me in the palace or when we spoke in the fortress, his eyes and tone of voice were filled with clear seriousness.
"Let them be," I answered in a roar-like voice. The trace of my anger was clear in the tone of my voice. Even though my pride pushed me to go after them, I held myself back since I knew this was another trap. It was Uraugh's way to take us away from the fortress. Who knew he had already set up another trap elsewhere?
"You're just going to let them go?" Eir made sure in disbelief.
"It's fine. Uraugh came because he wanted Evelina. As long as she is with us, he is the one who will come to us," I stated. So instead of chasing after him, I'd rather let him bring his own life to us. Besides, we also needed to investigate where their camp was and make sure the Orc's three main leaders didn't escape.
Yes, in contrast to the Minotaurs who clearly had no other choice but to fight because of Xinrax, Uraugh had deeper problems with the real Argod for a long time. In the orc tribe, he had absolute power and no one dared go against his orders. It was different from the Minotaur tribe who still respect and listen to General Dravis as their second leader. In other words, I couldn't end the war between the orcs and dragons as I ended the war with the Minotaur.
Another roar came out of my mouth. It was an order to return to the fortress. Upon my command, all of them followed me.
Pic is in my discord channel.
