CHAPTER 63: THE ADVANCE

NAHUEL AND ÓRTESIS get the dragon to release its prey, falling into the alba and MAKARA water.

They choose to flee towards the castle, surely some of them must have already arrived, if any of them come out alive, they must warn others of danger.

NAHUEL runs down the back of the dragon dodging the heads, is hit by one of them.

The young man is pushed in a different direction than ÓRTESIS expected.

The dragon is forced to change direction to try to reach it.

The young man is falling into the sea.

It is at this moment that TYPHOON uses his firepower, hurting ÓRTESIS, the grieving dragon, drops the boy.

He rushes to the direction of the castle making great efforts to escape the flames of the dragon.

Being right in front of the castle wall.

It gives a powerful roar and stamps on the wall.

The echo of the blow echoed in the distance, all the teams peeked into the distance, hidden, to see the reason for that roar.

Great is your surprise at discovering the huge dragon guarding that castle.

They also get to see the body of ÓRTESIS which, was a powerful dragon being eaten by that great beast of 3 heads.

Fear and helplessness fill everyone with rage.

If ÓRTESIS passed away.

It is very likely that MAKARA, ALBA and NAHUEL, too.

All teams are moving forward cautiously.

At sea.

New medium-sized islands emerge, such as the width of a volcano.

There are two of them, they emerged in the nearby places where MAKARA, NAHUEL and ALBA fell into the water.

They find cracks through which to enter along the mountain.

They are divided into groups of 4.

RYU asks DRAKE to go with them.

DRAKE, bluntly tells him no, his interest in PANDORA will only make him in the way, he doesn't want him or SHURUI around.

This causes annoyance in the young king, SHURUI who, is close to the king, advises him not to insist for now.

You must focus on the rescue.

It's true, going along with them will only make them think about PANDORA's safety above all else.

It's a luxury they can't afford at the moment.

DRAKE accepts the company of two other young dragons.

EDISTIO offers to go with IDARA, she refuses, she finds herself too cloying, already in the cavern always followed her, there was nowhere to escape, here she wants to work without additional pressures.

EDISTIO is sad to hear this from IDARA, so he turns around and returns to GARM.

They'll go in another group.

In these spaces dragons battle to advance due to their size.

They were probably made for the manticore.

In some of these corridors, they have found some bodies of manticore and harpies seriously injured by large claws and teeth.

Some of them, without any of the limbs, leaving a trail of blood from where they came from.

This makes things a little easier.

Have not seen either of these two species alive in the area, only dead.

It's a macabre scenario.

Many can't help but compare it to the one that was made on the mountain of dragons.

Much to their regret, they must move forward.

As they enter the mountain, some of the larger rock hollows are found with survivors of DWYER's servants, wounded and frightened, hidden in the shadows.

Those who, seeing them, flee the rescue groups.

Apparently they've suffered severe casualties.

Although they haven't attacked the invaders, they don't let their guard down either.

The one who is excited is HELHEST, as they move forward, he mutters to ALAMANDA how delicious he finds the smell of blood and rotten flesh, in which the desire for struggle grows, to be the one who devours his enemy.

ALAMANDA feels some excitement at feeling the HELHEST alien snorting emotion.

ALAMANDA rebukes you, complains about the uncomfortable feeling that makes you feel your breath behind your back.

The two dragons behind them, try to hold their laughter for having heard the conversation out of place.

They pass through a long corridor that widens, so dragons can get up and stop squatting.

In the darkness that reigns you can hear nearby growls gradually approaching.

HELHEST, having a greater range of distance from its companions, lets out a constant breath of fire, only for lighting.

Noises come from many directions.

HELHEST eager for battle, is attentive to noises.

In just an instant, a dozen harpies throw themselves at the invaders, nibbling as much as it moves.

HELHEST puts out the fire to fight.

At this moment ALAMANDA is violently pushed to the ground and retained by weight, in that darkness, the resonant squeals reign, the sound of crackle of bones and the sound of raw flesh being chewed.

The movements of the weight that does not let ALAMANDA rise, have suffocated her a little.

She is forced to remove seeds formed from the palm of her hands and grow them quickly, the forming of a protective shell of thorny plants, causes what ceded her to turn away.

Finished this, let the thorns grow, touching everything around him serves as if he sees in the dark, ends up hanging some of the attackers.

As the screams and growls cease, listen to the voice of HELHEST and the other two dragons.

HELHEST demands that you have stung him with his thorns.

ALAMANDA, somewhat pleased to have bothered him, he also complains that he crushed her.

They decide to continue on their way.

EMELINA and FENRIR had decided to go alone.

Both go silently and at a steady pace through the dark corridors, EMELINA lights its fire in one of the largest chambers, at the top of the cavern, among the shadows, hang some manticoats.

Hungry beasts fall on them at once.

The girl lets out a macabre smile, just like her dragon, she lets out her unbridled anger at those manticoats.

FENRIR laughs like crazy, tearing the beasts with the power of their strong claws and EMELINA smiling sinisterly, uses his firepower, wrapping them, in powerful flames that snatched their suffering from them in just a few seconds.

The two, hungry to find more beasts, follow their way out into the castle.
