Lucky Save

The first-born Thagda was shocked to realize that he is completely helpless against the current turtle. With his eyes almost popping out of its sockets, his mind was still wondering if it is still the same turtle they have faced before.

"This is impossible! I could not accept this! How dare are you treat me like a toy!" The Thagda tried its best to talk back, but its crumpled body was not strong enough to gather the strength to talk. He could only end up shouting his words in his mind.

"Brothers, help!" He cried desperately, sending a telepathic message to his nearby brothers.

Quickly, the second-born got his message and did not hesitate to leave the golden armored armies. Not to mention, he still has a bunch of soldiers tucked in his mouth. Of course, he did not forget to grab some other soldiers as he made his way to help the firstborn.

The third-born, who is also busy fighting against Donna while being assisted by the armies, also noticed the emergency signal and left the area in a hurry. And just like the secondborn, he also did not forget to skewer some soldiers using its long sharp tails as if taking a soldier-barbeque with him.

Just like that, the three gluttons are about to unite again.

As the two Thagda left, the soldiers and princess Donna heaved a great sigh of relief. The wounded soldiers and Donna are quickly being carried by the assisting merfolks towards the Golden Cave hidden behind the Golden Castle.

Danna on the other side has been saved by Dash and is currently lying unconsciously atop of Dash's huge shell.

"I see you called for backup." Despite the distance, Dash still managed to pick up the presence of another two incoming Thagdas.

"One from the west and another from west..." Dash made mental calculations and quickly realized that if the three gluttons could reunite, they might force another stronger threat.

He mush finish one of them right now while he is still at it. With a determined look, Dash pressed his foot harder against the helpless firstborn.

"You..turtle...will...pay for this.." The Thagda said in a struggling yet, threatening tone as he felt the force of the stomp increasing.

Dash just smirked as he started to absorb the water essence out of the freakish Thagda.

"You are not a real Dragon nor an Elemental. You are a freak that does not deserve to live." Dash said with a firm look on his eyes. He pressed even deeper and added, "I am taking back the water elemental essence from you.

"What do you mean taking back my water ess-uh!?" Right before the Thagda could finish his words, he suddenly slumped down in utter weakness.

His body, from a bulky black freakish dragon form, quickly slimmed down at a visible rate. Dash absorbed the water essence out of the Thagda's body with smoothness.

The body of Thagda immediately became very weak, as if he had suddenly aged by a hundred years. The shark eyes became dull, the bulky body has thinned down and even the sharp fangs are dropping effortlessly like rotten nuts.

His overwhelming strength was also zapped like a juice while Dash, on the other hand, quickly recovered from his injuries. Even the effects of the poison in his body started to being spilled out of his scaly skin. Black murky water is quickly oozing out of Dash's body.

"No! My power! What is this!?" The once-proud Thagda anxiously tried to force himself away but the turtle only pressed harder on its hold.

"Don't move. Be a good cockroach and die silently." Dash said without emotion.

He could still smell the scent of his fellow fishfolks's blood lingering in the body of the abomination under him. The flesh and scales of the countless victims are still stuck in the gap of its fangs and Dash could not help but not show any mercy before the enemy.

"Hyuk!" Pressing farther and increasing the force of suction, the Thagda squirmed like a rat under the cheese trap and sent even more emergency signals to his brothers.

"Brothers! Help me! Ack~"

ROOOAAR!~

ROOOAR!~

KABOOOOOOOM!~

Two furious Thagda suddenly arrived and tried to pierce the giant turtle. However, with the princess safely tucked under his shells, Dash managed to dodge their charging assault, causing them to miss and sent the ground to an explosion.

GRRRR~

The thirdborn decisively stood before the weakly firstborn, guarding him against being finished off by the turtle. Its thorns all pointing towards the enemy while growling with furious eyes.

The secondborn Thagda did not show any hesitation as it followed up its attack with another charging assault. With its massive blackthorns planted in its body, it desperately sent countless amounts of Thorns towards the turtle only to see the latter dodging the black darts and escaping to the distance.

"Coward! Come back here and I will devour you whole!" The secondborn growled.

Shooong~

KABOOOM!

A blue fireball suddenly came from the distance and exploded right before the secondborn's face. Luckily, he managed to react on time, sparing himself from getting killed on the spot.

"I shall return." The turtle said confidently from the distance as he throttled towards the Golden Cave.

With the mermaid in his hands, Dash could not fight to his best or he would risk getting the princess killed as well. Right now, the three Thagdas are being on the defensive and so he must use this opportunity to recover their position.

Quickly, Dash's figure dissapeared to the distance while the Thagdas tried their best to help the firstborn back on its feet.

"What did that turtle do to you? Why are you looking like a stick fish?" The third-born asked in surprise.

"You look pathetic firstborn. You even need our help. I was busy munching on the soldiers you know." The second-born added.

"You still munching on those salty fishes? I was just about to finish that red-tailed mermaid when the stupid annoying soldiers came! I bet that red-tailed ones are pretty delicious!"

"But seriously, just what happened to you firstborn? How the hell did you end looking like dragon dung?" The secondborn asked with a mocking tone.

Knowing their supernatural healing ability, their brother should have been able to recover back to its normal state in just a few seconds. However, right now, the third born looked as if he was an inflated balloon - flat and barely alive.
