On The Wings of Death [III]

After the Secondborn of the dragonkind reached the far forest with the three dreads, he quickly released his sacred sense to perceive his surroundings for any movement or disturbance within a radius of one kilometer.

Discovering something, Daghr quickly descended from the sky and landed on a bushy grass beside a tree. He noticed several broken branches on the tree, as well as scratch marks on the other trees, not far ahead.

They looked fresh. There was even some slime oozing out of the scraped parts, indicating the direction of the escaping humans.

Hey, let's see where you're all going. Daghr threw the broken branch in his hand away and shouted at the three dreads. "Follow me!"

The dragonborn arched his body, and he shot forward like an arrow. At the same time, his sacred sense was concentrated in the direction he was going, constantly searching for footprints and other signs left by the fleeing humans.

Got you. Not far from the chase, he felt a slight fluctuation of essence coming from somewhere at the front. He leaped into the sky, looking in one particular direction. There was no one in his visible sight, probably due to the trees blocking his views.

But he felt more certain that there was a slight fluctuation of powerful essence coming from that specific direction.

Hmm, still want to run away? Not from me. He immediately gestured towards the dreads below, to follow the direction ahead, and he himself quickly flew in the direction of the essence fluctuations.

"We've been discovered." The anxious voice of Wynter came to their ears. "There is a big waterfall in front of you, on the left, go there. Maybe you can use the cover of the waterfall to escape them."

Faintly, Kiara could hear the roar of the distant waterfall, and a faint turbulent energy brought by the waterfall in the air. Hearing this, Kiara quickly directed her family. "Let's go to the waterfall. If we move along the fall, we won't be easily detected by the dreads!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a dragon roar, not too far from her position followed by a burst of laughter.

"Little humans, where do you think you're gong."

They al looked back towards the sky, and saw someone, a human, chasing after them in midair. But the dark waves, surging all over his body, made it obvious he was a dread with an extraordinary power base. They quickly intensified their escape to the waterfall.

Wynter was deep in thought when, all of a sudden, a bright light appeared in front of the dark forest, indicating they had already reached the waterfall.

They all shouted eagerly, and accelerated their flight towards the waterfall.

"Do you still want to run from me?"

As soon as the voice sounded, they felt a huge fluctuation of essence coming from the direction of the light in front of them.

A large dragon, formed from the essence of water, with a thickness of more than ten meters suddenly appeared in front of them.

"This is bad, very bad." Kiara and Wynter said in chorus, and immediately veered left and right, respectively, escaping the attack of the water dragon. But seeing this, the giant water dragon slanted its body, and its head and tail intersected in a ring, immediately encircling everyone.

Under the control of Daghr's essence power, the colour of the huge water dragon created from the water, turned into a pitch-black ink color.

"Humans, do you still want to escape from me, towards a waterfall?" Daghr hovered high in the sky and said contemptuously to everyone. He was the second son of the black dragons.

Water dragons were born with the ability to control water, same with fire dragons. He was a black dragon born with the ability to control both elements.

Yet, the humans wanted to use water to escape from him? In Daghr's view, it seemed like a big joke.

When the dragonborn saw the humans fleeing towards the waterfall, it was as if he had arrived at his own realm, so he was no longer in a hurry. He motivated the water dragon to trap everyone in place, and slowly flew towards them, waiting for the bear dreads to arrive.

To deal with these human beings by himself, was beneath him. His disdained the thought of it. He would let the lower level dreads with partial transformation to deal with the humans.

When Kiara and Wynter saw this, they immediately released their essence power to act as shields against Daghr's attack.

After Kai saw the appearance of the chasing dread, he immediately trembled with apprehension. He shouted loudly. "Daghr? Secondborn of the dragon clan? So, it's you chasing us again. What grudges do you have with me that you're killing my clansmen, over and over again?"

"Do we know each other, human?" Daghr descended from the sky, and looked at Kai strangely, searching through his memory about this human face. The water dragon also gradually receded in the process of Daghr's reasoning.

"Have you forgotten the incidents with the sacred tree, many years ago?"

"Ooooh, so it was you!" Daghr finally recognized Kai, and couldn't help but asked strangely. "I remembered you. I remembered killing your father, and then you exploded your essence crystal to kill me which failed. So, you're still alive, how?"

Kai laughed bitterly. "Dead? I can't die that easily. I want to live this cruel life and watch you die at the feet of my fellow humans."

"Really? You want to watch me die? I'm afraid, you won't have that opportunity." Daghr said. He raised his hand, and dozens of black shards immediately shot straight towards Kai and the rest.

The last time, this forsaken human escaped from his own hands, Daghr suddenly became very angry, and he no longer had the patience to wait for the three dreads to arrive.

"Patriarch, you must find a way to escape. I'll try to delay him as long as possible." A flash of light appeared in front of Wynter, and a huge shield, with a height of more than ten meters in size and a thickness of about three meters suddenly blocked everyone from the attack, completely isolating them from Daghr.

The Giant Shield was the only defensive magic that Wynter knew. It could be big or small, and it could be varied. As soon as the giant shield was formed, a loud impacting sound like that of thunderous arrows could be heard crashing against the shield.

From the impact, Wynter felt his chest being hit a few times by a giant hammer, and a mouthful of blood streaked down the corner of his mouth.

"Patriarch, go. For the sake of your family, you must escape alive." Wynter saw Kai and the others wanting to come forward to support him, and immediately suppressed his injury and shouted anxiously.

At this time, there were hurried footsteps from the depths of the forest, as the chasing dreads arrived.

Yes, he must save his family. Kai looked at Kiara. "Let's go."

Kiara gritted her teeth, and took a last look at the Wynter, and pulled up Kai and Oscar, but before leaving, she did not forget to shout to Shesara. "Shesara, come with us."

As soon as the words sounded, dozens of earth spears suddenly burst up from the ground.

Poor Shesara, as soon as she lifted her foot, she was nailed to the spot by several earth spears. She didn't even uttered a single cry before her life essence disappeared.

"Shesara." Oscar suddenly shouted. There was darkness in front of his eyes, and tears flowed out of his eyes.

Reaching out with his hand, he tried to rush forward to grab Shesara, but was held back firmly by his mother..

Kiara endured the grief of losing someone who could be regarded as her own daughter.

Then, she cast a flight spell, grabbed her husband together with her son in both hands, and flew towards the waterfall with all her might as several roars of bear dreads came from behind.
