Chapter 284: White World (1/2)
As it parted its gaze from the sky, the black dragon focused its attention back on the Dragonoid and the million monsters surrounding it. Fumes escaped its nostrils and slightly covered its face; mad red eyes lay behind it. It paid no attention to the allies that summoned it and spread its wings.
Edmund and the others lost sight of the blue sky once again as they were hidden underneath the vast black wings. They knew that this was Entei's way of telling to go far away, as they would be nothing more than a hindrance.
Entei's wings stood vertically on its back. It stretched them as much as it could, and like a rubber band, released them with full power. The ground surrounding it couldn't handle the strength behind its actions, as it crumbled and split apart. Rocks and pieces of the earth flew in all directions. The weaker monsters lost their lives instantly, while the more capable monsters managed to run away in time. Still, even though only a minority was killed, the ground was died crimson, black, and green from the blood.
The monsters that dodged the initial attack tried to escape and reorganize, but Entei wasn't about to let them do so. It jumped from its spot and landed down on the monsters. Its feet crushed hundreds at once, but it wasn't satisfied. It jumped around like a grasshopper, and each time it landed pieces of the earth would be pulled and replaced by carcasses of dead monsters.
The larger sized enemies that were foolish, overconfident, and, frankly put, stupid, tried to retaliate back. Entei had a special way to kill them. It would show them the difference in size and power as it would bite down on their top and leave the bottom half to rot.
Becky wanted to shout and ask the dragon not to eat the vile creatures. After all, she saw how they were created, but she decided against it. The dragon was their ally, but not their friend. It was helping them due to the connection it had with Ed, as such, it was only reasonable to let it deal with the situation in any way it saw fit.
Edmund, on the other hand, was not worried at all. Instead, he was all smiles; he was on the verge of bursting into laughter.
”Why the good mood?” asked bard.
”It's the dragon. Surprisingly, it had a good sense of humor,” Edmund answered him while pointing with his finger. At the place where he pointed, Bard and the others could see a small monster running away from the dragon while hiding amongst the other monsters. It was the Dragonoid.
”It's chasing it? Isn't it the same as…” Audun was stunned and couldn't continue his speech.
”Exactly what it was doing to me,” said Edmund. ”The black dragon is playing around with the Dragonoid. That's why I'm smiling; it feels like he's getting revenge for me!”
However, the dragon had no idea that the Dragonoid played around with Edmund before. It followed it around for two reasons. Firstly, it was too arrogant. When Entei first arrived, it noticed how the Dragonoid stared at it and the bloodlust it exuded was an annoyance for it. Secondly, it was the strongest monster around.
Entei's continuous rampage dwindled the number of monsters. The ground couldn't be seen any longer due to the number of corpses that covered it. The Dragonoid's body was battered and bruised from the attacks it couldn't dodge, and its Qi was nearly depleted.
