12 Chp-12 Be Not Afraid
POV of the High Dragon Bael sent to observe the Carlos and his Group.
As the Master ordered, I have been watching over this Group of Insects for the past three days till they reached the continent.
Master said to help them if any dangerous creatures that might harm them approaches them and follow his orders I did.
All the time they were thinking why the ocean was tranquil, I was the one who scare the Worms away from the the fleet.
After observing the worms, they could be said to be at lvl60 at Max, maybe this was the shallow area so their lvl were limited to this, I am sure more high levels are lurking in the depths....I should report this to Lady Adrigal.
Almost at the end of their journey, I sensed a lvl40 Kraken approaching them, quite small and weak then the ones I had seen so far...must be a Juvenile Octopus...hmm yess it must be so.
I decided to let it pass by to see how those insects defend themselves, Master did say to observe their strengths, and this should be a perfect opportunity.
And as expected the insects or rather one of the insects killed that Octopus, not without casualties but atleast that one insect is alright.
By the level of magic he casted it should be a 5th tier, something like a Laser beam but maybe hotter and brighter?
This should be reported too hm hm let's write it done...
As the insects reached the shore,i further observed them for 2 more days then I left to contact Lady Adrigal for the next course of actions..

Bael Pov:
So two days have passed after the first experimentation of my powers.
During this time I was immensely bored, no net or Mangas to read lead to great boredom for someone who used to live in a Civilized World.
But to make up for that boredom I had something that would excit any Isekai Protagonist, Magic!!
This time instead of summoning magic, I decided to focus on far common type of magic, Elemental Magic. There were 5 basic elements, Fire, Earth, water , air and lightning magic.
The initial test of conjuring spells of Fire Earth and other elements went well. From the 5 basic elements I felt the most connected to Fire magic the most. Don't get me wrong, as a Dragon I can control all elements easily and equally but for a Chunni, Fire was my favourite.
Aside from the Elements i fiddled with the abstract form of magic, like Gravity Magic.
From this I got to know that I not only get to manipulate Gravity but also the Mysterious Dark Matter.
Essentially Dark Matter was Anti- Gravity.
If Gravity was Pull them It was Push, the Yin to Yang, the Shira Tensei to Banshou Tenin.
Hahaha the more i understand my powers the more I feel like they are ripoff version of various anime powers.
I wonder if I could Increase the Gravity of A space so much that time will bend then what will happen?
And that's what I did, unsurprisingly a Notice soon came form VOTW
[Time Magic] Gained
Following this trend I tried to Mix Time and Gravity together...
[Notice:Spatial Magic Gained]
During this time I had an idea, what if I added different elements to conjure new types of elements? Taking inspiration form Avatar, not he alien one, the Animated series.
I added Earth And Fire to form Lava, water and Fire to form Steam, And many more.
Then I added the abstract magic to the mix, from Gravity and Darkmatter I made A blackhole then proceed to mix fire magic init into the right proportion to make a Purplish -Black fire that would devour anything it touches, it would also burn for a long time and can't be extinguished easily.
Another Anime ripoff added to the arcenal.
As I was doing that I got a Message from Adrigal.
[My Lord The Dragon has reported that The Humans have reached the shore but decided to stay away from the continent and sent Golems]
Understandable, for them this place was akin to a high radiated area.
Adrigal further reported that the Crew fought a Lvl 40 Juvenile 'Octopus' word of the dragon, and the Mage or here Majin casted a 5th tier Laser Beam like magic to kill it in one go.
Bael: [Tell the Dragon To bring them to the castle, also tell him to cast a Protection Charm to protect them form the magicule density. Also remind him to not intimidate them]
Dragons can be quite pridefull you know. Maybe I should name him for his hardwork, Haven't tested how that would go. Also I have nothing to lose from this other than losing a fraction of my magicule reserve which will replenish instantly.
Now then... let's get ready to meet out 'guests'.

Carlos Pov.
2 Days went by as our Mining started, till now we have almost filled halfway through One galley and if this place continues, after a week we'll be sailing back home.
During this 2 days, we stayed on ships as entertained our selves with talks about folk tales and Playing cards. It was a Lively atmosphere quite contradictory to the cold winds of the ocean.
All the work of mining was done by the golems who i controlled remotely from the ship. My range of control is limited but for our needs it was more than enough. Ordering the golems to mine was much easier than Controlling them to operate something more complex like the Galleys, so I had time to Relax. Only needing a few hours of my day to inspect and see if all the work was done properly.
During the evening of the third day, everything was going as usual untill, i sensed a great Aura....far greater than the kraken.
It..it was approaching us!!..
I rushed to meet with the Caption to warn him of this.
Carlos: Captain!! We need to alert the men! I sensed a Large Magicule density from the distance, it's from the sky! And it's approaching us rapidly!! Quick! Alert the men!
Rodgers: Damnit! just when I thought everything will go smoothly after that incident! Alright I'll warn the boys!
3rd Pov.
As the people on the ship got ready for an Unknown Monster that even the ordinary person could sense was far greater than the kraken they fought with.
The Dragon who was observing them for the fast 5 days reached them and hovered a few distance before the fleet. Still his beating of his large wings sent winds of large proportion that the originally calm waves started to go Unstable, Rocking the ships.
The Dragon: 'Now...master ordered me not to intimidate them so I retracted my passive auras, still I can't supress the instinctual fear they will feel towards seeing a being of Higher Level...the problem is how should I communicate with them..hmm..Ah! this should do!!'
Dragon: Be Not Afraid...!
Carlos Pov...
As everyone got ready to face the monster i could now see what that monster was and scared couldn't even describe what I felt.
That monster was a Dragon! Just from its size It must be a High Medium Dragon, it has such magicules....is it Reaching Its Limits for Evolution?
A Dragon is the highest form of Life form after the True Dragons. A single Dragon with enough power can be a Threat to a Nation.
They are divided into 3 evolutionary ranks
Lesser, Medium and Arch Dragons
The Dragon infornt of us is a High Dragon and it has reached its peak Rank. Judging by its strength it must be A+ Rank...a rank higher than me...but I am still unsure of Victory...
True to their strengths, a Dragon has strength higher than any Lifeform with the same rank, the disparity is even more for us humans..On paper our ranks may be just the difference of One rank but only I know The true Chasm Between this Difference.
As I was Contemplating how to confront and save ourselves from this disaster the dragon surprisingly spoke...
Dragon: Be not Afraid Humans...I have not come to Harm You..My Master, The Ruler of This Continent has Noticed your Uninformed presence here and Wishes to Meet you, to give him a Proper explanation for your Intrusion.
'Master? This Continent Has a Ruler? When did it happen' Such thoughts came inside the minds of everyone present but were too paralyzed with fear to speak up.. I too had such questions but decided to supress them..
Carlos: Oh great Dragon...can you tell you who your Master Is? Forgive me for my ignorance but I don't recall anyone Ruling this Continent.
I just have to act humble.. Dragons are pridefull beings you just had to stroke their Pride and they will be happy with you..and just as expected the dragon spoke with a tone of pride..
Dragon: My master Is the Ruler of This Continent, The master Of All dragonkind and The Overlord of Deudenia,Lord Bael!!
Carlos: 'I Don't remember anyone with these titles and The name Bael...is he a true Dragon? No...the emergence of one will be noticed by everyone..Wait!!..Is this related to the Aura I sensed a few days ago?!'
Carlos: Sir Dragon, are you here to take us to meet your Master?
Dragon: Obviously, that's what I came here for, to take you to him..
Carlos: But Sir Dragon, We won't be able to step foot on this Continent before suffering from Magicule Poisoning...
Dragon: My master has already accounted for you Feeble Natures, as such He has ordered me from his Infinite Greatness to protect you..
Hearing the dragon i couldn't help but Grut my teeth silently...what he said was painfully true..we humans were weak..weaker that anyone...No..we have our own strengths...our loved ones..our determination to strive for the future..that's right we aren't weak, thinking of this I gathered my courage and Asked the Dragon
Carlos: So Sir Dragon..How will you take us to Your Master?
Without answering the dragon casted an unknown spell
Dragon: [Boost Widen Magic: Protection from Negative Effects][Protection form Physical Effect]
A transparent Blue Bubble of energy Formed around, me, Captain Rodgers and some of His Men.
Dragon: I have chosen you people to Meet my Master, now then let's go [Widen Magic: Fly]
As the dragon again casted an unknown spell we felt ourselves being lifted off from the ship's decks and floated towards the dragon. The dragon seemingly satisfied nodded and then flew off along with us being taken with him at high speed...but surprisingly non of the turbulence effected us.
Looking down I could see the golems still mining and then I noticed...the magicule density is not effecting us!!? How!?
Was it the spell that dragon casted on us?
Traveling for a few minutes, the dragon slowed down and I could see that our destination has arrived...even though the Magicule is not effecting us, we could still feel the pressure in the air and now that we are getting closer and closer to the Place of whatever Monster this Dragon serves, The Pressure was increasing at an alarming rate.
The Place could be seen now...that Tower...no it could not even be a Tower, it was so massive that a Simple Word of Tower was not enough to describe it...it's tips as if piercing the sky jutted out and around it were innumerable among of Undead...I could spot even some at the level higher than that Kraken... and the dragons flying in circles around the Castle...it sent a chill down my spine imagining what catastrophic disaster will fall if all of them Were to come to the Central Continent.
There were so many high level dragons..much higher that even those dragon lords present at the Canaat Mountains. Hah..hahaha ..it seems this dragon was right...whoever rules this place will naturally be the Master of All Dragon kinds.
As we landed I saw the entrance of this towering Castle... Deudenia was the Name this dragon spoke of...
Befor the entrance there was a row of Soldiers... beings each of B+ Each standing in a straight line on both sides..leading to the entrance.There I could see Three beings of Identical atire, the one at the front more decorated than the other.
They had silver blonde hair, small horns poking from their heads and long ears under it.. They wore armored gear and had great swords behind their backs.
Their strength, i could not measure...this Place is terrible, why did we come here...
As we landed, the dragon spoke..
Dragon: Miss, I have brought them.
??: Great work, you may leave to patrol now.
The dragon bowed and left us...as the dragon left the Girl introduced herself.
??: Greetings, Humans my name is Aria, the Guard Commander of Deudenia. My Lord Has tasked me to bring you Humans to Him.
Follow me.
As the Girl now identified as Aria escorted us inside I glanced as the Caption Rodgers and coincidentally our eyes met and we understood what to do next as we went to meet the Ruler of this lands.
We must absolutely not anger this being. Whoever he maybe, his appearance is sure to change the strings of the future. What fate awaits us before this door I don't know but what I do know is that my- our Kingdom's survival now rests on my hands, if I can convince HIM.....
