Chapter 4: Worms and more Worms

[General Perspective]

"He's waking up..." were the first few words Purple processed before an overwhelming amount of pain flooded his mind. Then, groggily he began to recollect the actions that led to his current state. "Oh yeah, I l evolved.."

He felt his aching body and hissed in pain; flicking his tongue, the pungent smell of blood waved over him.

As Purple inwardly groaned in pain, the figures of his siblings approaching distracted him. "How do you feel, sibling unit..?" Red asked loudly. Fighting back the pain, he responded, "I feel as fine as the day I was hatched" sarcasm is laced in his tone.

"... So you're fine, asshole," he said even louder this time. Chuckling at his response, he was able to ignore the pain for a short moment before saying, "It's fine; I know you meant while by it, but I'm in a lot of pain right now".

"No shit"

Moving his eyes from the red smartass, he glanced across the area in search of something. "Where's Green..? Also, did you guys also evolve as well??" silence was the only answer… "Answer the question!"

"I'm over here, bro!" Purple overhead his brother calling to him.

Taking a look at Blue and Red, he can tell they are also level 10 ten as well. So just what did they eat to gain so many levels.

Whatever monster corpse that was is now gone... Not even the bones at left.

Red is a quadruple-winged red dragon. He has three sleek horns, a hard plated armour in ball mode with chrome rings, and a double-bladed tail. Protecting his chest is a super-strong v-neck armoured plate.

His baby brother, Blue, is a quadruple dragon. Blue has three purple teeth jutting out from his upper jaw and a long neck and tail. It also has pink spines running from the middle of its neck to about the end of its tail, which somewhat resembles the tail of a stegosaurus. In addition to this, he has a large pink horn on his nose and red eyes.

"Alright, let's find out what our dear brother has gotten into this time," Purple commanded. "You guys picked eyes as well, I see."

"Heck yea bro, bro! This fella wants the light~" Blue said in a sing-song manner.

"Your taste in music sucks. And check your status. I'm going to check mine."

Purple took note of all the information being displayed above each member of their party. They have gained new skills, increased stats and, more importantly - Evolution Points. As soon as someone gains enough points, they will choose between evolving or gaining another skill slot.

Turning to his brothers, he says, "So where is Green? We need to leave this forest soon."

Blue looks down at himself, then smirks, looking proud. "Like we need that bastard... I bet I can handle all those baddies myself!"

"Just get moving you, idiot!" Purple yells at his little brother, who just laughs.

Looking around the forest, he notices there isn't anything else worth taking except for one thing; A small box sitting against the floor.

Red looks at the box. "What is this?"

"A treasure box.." Purple answers. Taking hold of the lid, he pulls it open, revealing some kind of scroll inside. Pulling it out, he reads through the contents. "This is interesting...

"But since we are dragons, we have no interest in these kinds of things. So let us find Green and get out of here." Looking up at his brothers, he sees them both nodding along with him.

The group starts walking deeper into the woods when suddenly, a loud screech echoes throughout the trees. Turning quickly, everyone takes cover behind whatever tree they can grab onto.

Soon their brother green crashed into the tree. "Ouch", he moans, rubbing his head.

"Green, how come you keep crashing into stuff like this?" Purple asks curiously. "Wait, how do I know that?"

"Because my stupid ass like going to place without telling you.."

"Oh really?" Purple said sarcastically, "Just hold on, little brother and try not to die, ok?"

"Fine.." Green grumbles, turning away from the rest of the team.

After a brief pause, Red steps forward. "Hey, why don't you ask us if we want to help you?"

"Because I was hungry and bored, that's why."

"Well, I am curious.." Red continues.

"Ok fine.." Green turns back towards the others. "Do any of you wanna join me in a hunt?"

"Hell yes!"

The four dragon brothers soon find a lake while hunting, failing to catch anything.

Purple drinks from the lake. "Puhaa, delicious!" Purple exclaims. The four dragons start to hear some unpleasant sounds behind them as they drink the water of the lake.

Purple turns his head to try and see what's the origin of that sound, and from the insides of the forest, the four brothers see multiple shadows.

[Shaaa!] [Shaaa!] [Kishaaa!]

[Shashasha!] [Shashaaa!]

What the four see are a group of grotesque monsters caterpillars. And it seems that they are all coming here.

Purple see at least 20 of them.

Quite the spectacle.

As the monsters Worms encircle the newborn dragons. Purple, Green, Red, and Blue start to breathe out warm air in their direction. Each one has a different colour and effect.

That was their racial skill—Dragon's breath.

The monsters Worms that are in that direction seem to fall.

It's working; It's working. Finally, they seem to have overturned the Dark Worm's assault, and the four dragon brothers split apart, taking on their own horde of monsters Worms.

"Come on, Come On.." Green screams in his high pitched voice as he dodges attacks left, right and centre, dodging everything thrown at him by these disgusting creatures.

Green stomps on will all his strength.

[Gishaaa!] The worm cried out and bit Green tail.

Green keep stepping on him and then grab him from the back.

"Oraora, come! Why did I say Oraora?"

Even if it bites me, it doesn't hurt at all.

Green bite it again, and it hurts it a bit, but it still feels good biting it! The war dragon bites it a few times until it stops moving. Green's let go, and it falls dead in front of him.

"Let me get one thing straight!" Blue haunted as he sliced and diced the monster Worms in seconds. "As of my current form. You will never defeat me!" He swings his sharp claws wildly, cutting off the limbs and heads of every single creature surrounding him.

He keeps slashing and slicing till nothing remains alive within the area. Even after killing so many, it didn't stop him from attacking the last remaining worm.

Red scales light up, and the monster Worms freeze in place. They can't move... the dragon before did something to them.

"I'm gonna kill ya!" Red growls and charges at the worms.

"Time to die in a manner that is perfect for scum like you!"

He jumps into the air kicking the ground, sending rocks flying everywhere. His body glows red hot before exploding into a massive ball of fire engulfing half the area.

All the worms burn instantly into ashes leaving only dust floating in the wind.

"Hell yeah!" Blue cheers for his brother.

Purple sighs thinking about how much work it took for them to gain levels today. But it's worth it; it's worth it for sure!

He's glad it's over now, though, because it's getting dark out now.

They were doing well~

All four dragons recovered their lost levels without taking any damage!

"Time for break, guys."

"Alright, bro!" The three answered back and went to a cave they found while hunting.

It seems that being reborn as dragons won't be that hard all. Although it's quite tiring for a human but it's fine for a dragon!

"It's time to sleep now, guys~"

Morning comes! Time to wake up already!
