Ancient dragon lair (1)

The slaves were a mixture between dragons and demons, while the slaveholders were a mixture between dragons and giants. How did that ancient dragon get his hands on my races!? That will mean revenge. And why don't the demons fight back, they should at least be as strong as the giants. I mean, both aren't as strong as the real ones, but they should be ok. "Onyx, let's team up. Accept my team request." He looked at me and shortly after I sent it, I got a message that said, Onyx has accepted your team request. You are now in the same team. Let's rock this place, and while doing this, let's get some training in this should-be-difficult dungeon.

~ Summon death knight

~ Summon demon knight

~ Summon treant

A black portal and a crimson red portal appeared. Out of them stepped slowly and menacingly a decaying humanoid monster with a visor over its face, an armour made of melted bones covered its whole body and he had a gigantic grand sword in his hands. The demon knight looked completely different, he had no helmet and his skin was as red as the portal he just stepped out of. In his hands there was a shorter sword than the one of the death knight but in the other hand he wore an iron shield. The armour he wore was, what seemed to be some light armour, and consisted out of an extremely thin and metallic material, that shined bloody in the light of the sun in the already red sky. (Every planet has its own sun, if it requires some)

Then out of the dry and earthy ground, a tree seemed to grow in seconds and after it stood there, nothing happened for seconds and then just as I was about to give orders to the two knights, at the bottom of the tree, it split into two parts and out of the branches that fell down weapons formed. Suddenly the tree opened its eyes, being two holes in the trunk.

Finally having all three knights together, I order them: "Take all of them prisoner and if they resist, kill them!" Immediately the three knights rushed off and me looking over the hill, I see that they go on mercilessly, hitting the bodies of the slaves into submission, as they took it as a sign for an uprising that a demon had appeared and helped them, and then I heard the first death cry of one of the slaveholder. Looking over the battlefield, I see that the treant had pierced his victim with a root from the ground. It looked like a gruesome scene, but the most horrible part was what came after the impaling. Out of the root grew some strings and they fed or more likely sucked out the liquid of the dead parts of the still warm corpse. What a vampiristic trait. Probably because I bit the world tree to get its bloodline and somehow it gave a slight vampiristic trait to the truly living plants. Nearly, the demon knight fought against a giant with a scaly skin. He blocked an attack fluently with his shield so that it was completely negated and smashed against the ground. A truly horrifying attack; with one smash it had cracked the ground so that a crater had appeared. But through the opening, the demon knight was able to slash apart the upper body of the half dragon-half giant. The trickiest one was the one the death knight had as an opponent. It was the leader of the camp in front of the stone palace. He had the most agility and was even faster than the death knight and so, he was able to pierce the death knight at the place where the heart should have been. The opponent hadn't yet realised that his opponent already had been dead, even before he fighted with him and so he turned away, after the death knight fell on his knees. With a deep, vibrating and stumbling voice the death knight said: "Fu... ck... off!" and with that he pulled up the grandsword and divided the body of the halfling into two equal parts which fell on both sides, spraying the blood all over the body of the death knight. And with the death of the leader, the other slaveholders gave up immediately. All the people down the valley in front of the palace fell on their knees and pleaded for mercy. The three warriors just rounded them up and didn't even bother to respond to their questions. This naturally gave the prisoners the feeling of an uncertain fate that loomed over them. As everybody was perched together, the three fell on their knees as well and looked in my direction. This made the prisoners feel even more unsure of what happened. Then I came out of the shadow of the cliff and canceled the Vanish skill effect. For them it must have looked like a nine metre monster had appeared our of nowhere. My intimidating appearance skill immediately kicked in and they all crawled back and wanted to get the most far away from me, but as the first tried to flee, the knights killed them without even twitching their eyes, if they still had some and they then returned to their former position.

"Listen up. I am Kishtan. Have you ever heard of me? You over there, step up!", I randomly pointed into the crowd and picked some mighty warrior, that hadn't died in the battle before but was injured in the fight against the demon knight.

He had a disturbing voice, like stone grinding against stone: "No, we haven't heard of you. Is that some major problem?"

Unbelieveable, they called not knowing me not a major problem. "Hm, well if you tell me, what you know about this planet and this dungeon's history, I might tell you who I am. Do you want to know?"

"I don't really care about who you are. I am just here to protect the entrance and the slaves you see here."

"About those slaves. Where did they actually come from? And what else, besides the dragon whose's lair this is, lives in there?"

"They were bred from a giant woman and a succubus. And nothing else, besides that dragon and his family lives in there. The succubus and the giant woman have long since died."

"Does that mean everybody here is actually family? Why are you hitting your half-brothers?"

Suddenly the half giant became nervous. "Because we are going to die by the hand of the patriarch if we are going against his rule."

"Then-..." I was interrupted by a ear-piercing screech of a dragon, and it wasn't Onyx's. A titanic dragon, bigger than my followers, flew out of the voluminous palace entrance. Completely white in colour with only red spots as eyes. Normally it wouldn't be a problem to take on such a beast, but the only problem this time was, that, although I am nine metres tall and multiple metres wide, the fearsome dragon was six times my size. I think it's time to try out my demon morph skill. "Hide! This is going to be rough." Equipping the world sceptre, the undead kings crown and the nemeic lion's cape, I used the skill.

~Demon morph

Immediately my shape erupted into something more monstrous. My pale skin got redder and my already orange glowing eyes got a touch of crimson. The wings on my back unfurled and the demon heart resonated with the demon form, multiplying its power by two. The dark blood in its veines below the red skin showed itself again, because my body true body had learned how to hide its colour. The size of my form also exploded upwards and towering over the little forms that I recognised as the prisoners I had taken, I tried not to step on them as I attacked the white dragon with my sceptre that had grown with me in shape. The crown, that was more like a war mask, was over my face, showing only a bony face and the glowing eyes out of it. Because of the demon morph skill it added an orange trail after my movements. The nemeic lion's cape fluttered in the wind behind me, looking like a silver hero's cape from all the movies on Earth.

"Where did you get the giant woman and the succubus from, you gigantic lizard?" After asking the question I rushed to battle, flapping madly with my wings, not yet knowing how to handle them. Obviously, the dragon realised that as well and attacked me with its claws.

Block! With my sceptre, I can defend against the hit, but only barely, since I am not really used to fighting in the air yet. Bang! I got hit by his tail and it slammed me against the ground, making a crater in it, that was half a kilometre in diametre. This hit made me furious! In the corner of my interface, I saw a new bar appear and it was charged up with red, fully.

~Mountain king's warcry

ROOOAAARRR! The dragon who was just about to attack again, was sent away flying with shock and probably some hearing problems.

Standing up again, it was time for round two and I charged into the sky. "Answer my question! Or are you too dumb to even understand me? I already speak Draconian with you."

Finally, after having received the full effect of the war cry and the stun effect had stopped, the dragon spoke with me. And in a deep, bassy voice he told me: "The succubus and the giant woman appeared one day, in the past out of nowhere. During the first days, they just walked around here, exploring the area but some hundred years ago, they died here, but only after giving birth to some labourers for my palace."

"Don't you view them as your sons and daughters? And what do you mean, some hundred years ago?"

"What is so hard to understand about the fact that I have lived here since multiple milleniums but have always been alone? And over time, some lost travellers stranded here I had many children with them and on one date they all set out into the wide world."

"Multiple milleniums? How is this possible? Who is your world creator?" Some bad premonition expected me at the end of my thought.

"The world creator? That's me. Why? And why shouldn't it be possible for this world to exist?"

"Say WHAAAAT?"
