My Dragon System Chapter 306 – On the other side

The underdog guild members were experienced when it came to fighting. However, they didn’t stand a chance when facing against Jack and Martha, but the same couldn’t be said going up against the beasts.

The beasts were mostly basic tier creatures, powered up by the shadow but it still didn’t seem to be too much trouble for the guild to deal with. They had thought more robust creatures in the past together. The only problem was the sheer number of beasts.

As they took down one, it just felt like two more had taken its place. “I don’t know how much longer I can keep this up.” A member said.

A spider then came jumping out towards his face as he took a second to catch his breath. Still, before it could attack a shield came and knocked the spider away.

“Damn it, I can’t believe he’s making us fight, why doesn’t that guy just turn into a werewolf and get rid of them!” Rick complained.

Jack continued to command the Underdogs while going for the slightly stronger beasts in the group. The truth was Jack had already used up most of his energy fighting against their leader Osbourne. Whenever he transformed, there was always a period of time where he would feel slightly weak and wouldn’t be able to change again.

If there was ever a time where he would have to fight for long periods of time, he would be in trouble, this was something that he needed to fix.

Meanwhile, Ray was going up against the Grand mage Wiz. Ray had decided to stop using his magical abilities. Not only was Wiz able to block them by sending them into a rift, but Ray was also afraid what would happen if he made a massive attack. There was the chance Wiz would be able to redirect it the army fighting behind them.

Sure it would kill a lot of his beasts as well, but that didn’t matter to him. Ray then decided he needed to get close. He charged forward, powering his legs with energy. Now it was time to do it the old fashioned way with his fists, but when jumping ahead, a rift had appeared in front of him. When he came out form the other end, he landed by Martha and the others side.

Just then, Lenny had told him some vital information. There was one big difference between the rifts and the teleportation circles. Once a group of people would be teleported, it would close behind it, and a new one would need to be created, but the rift worked like a tunnel.

Which meant it worked both ways, if the beasts were coming from the shadow continent then that meant Ray could take them out form the source.

He started charging directly towards the rift.

“He’s not thinking of going into that thing, is he?” Bliss asked.

“Looks like he’s already made up his mind”, Martha said.

“I can’t tell if that boy is crazy or courageous”, Springett added.

Ray continued to run forward running past the battlefield, avoiding strikes here or there and killing the beasts with a single blow. On his way, he would fire ice balls and blast them at creatures to his left, and then to his right, he would blast them with fireballs.

A monkey swiped toward him, but it was useless. Ray had the footwork of the black sash knights he had learnt at the academy. It allowed him to easily avoid the blows by moving and twisting his body and then, finishing them off with a punch.

“High-level Magic skills and then also High-level knight skills to, and he’s still young, just who is this guy?”, Springett said as she watched him. She couldn’t help think that it started to remind her of someone she had been keeping an eye on in the academy this whole time. For they to had shown a level of hand to hand combat skills.

Now that Ray had gone past all the knights, he was getting closer to the base of the three Rifts. The creatures were powering out denser than before. He looked at the three portals and had decided to go for the one the spiders were coming out from.

“Fire Energy activate!”

Using half off his mana points, Ray now had double the strength in his fire skills.

“Dragons roar!” A loud scream was heard that echoed through the battlefield. Strange energy inside of Martha and Jack could suddenly be felt as each of them received a five percent boost in their stats.

Ray then held out his hand palm open and used his new skill “Fire blast!” A stream of fire left his hand, but it wasn’t small like he expected, due to the two power-ups the stream of fire burst out as if a rocket was setting off form his hand. A large flame was pouring out burning all of the spiders in an instant.

If it wasn’t for his unique body and unnatural strength, he felt like his arm would have been torn off from the power. With the flames, he continued moving forward and jumped into the portal arriving at the other end.

When he entered and came out of the other end, it wasn’t the same shadow continent world he was expecting. Instead, he was inside what looked like a giant cavern. The whole place was surrounded by eggs. Everywhere and spiders where slowly hatching from them.

In the centre of the cavern was a giant crystal the same size as a small child illuminating the whole thing. It was a beast’s nest, the crystal in the centre was what gave the beasts their magical properties. Usually, it was considered a taboo to destroy a beast’s nest.

After all, Beats crystals were essential to the human’s race advancement. The crystals were used in everyday technology and life. But this was different right now, it was being used against them.

“So it was a Beast nest then, huh?” Ray said, “I wonder what would happen if I destroyed that crystal?”
