As the song comes to an end the healers lose their buff advantage. Even with the moral of the defending forces boosted, the Attackers were still fighting with all their might.

Now Outside the city Ryan and Alex were fighting and supporting the city with their spells and strength. There was still a large amount of Palmlandian forces left.

The Palmlandian leaders meanwhile gave the order to not fall back. The warlocks and ritualists they had then started summoning something to the field. Unaware of what they were doing, they manage to cast their ritual for 10 minutes straight and call forth a demonic golem from the air.

As the wind and black clouds rolled in with thunder suddenly something in the background lands on the ground and shakes the valley.

Ryan and Alex who feel the earth shaking with every step then see something huge walking out of the valley in front of the town. When everyone sees it, they freeze in fear. The Palmlandian army moves aside and gives a path for their new “Pet” to walk through. Suddenly the Yellow and green demonic Golem roars and starts raining down sparks onto the town.

Ryan and Alex look at each other and Ryan who was impatient with this battle and the sight of dead bodies of innocent town people decides to ball up his fists in anger. Ryan then charges up [Chaos Blast] while using 20% of his health as a catalyst. Ryan lets loose one well aimed shot at this demonic creature’s head and makes it crumble into ash; instantly killing. The spell sends an enormous blast that creates a massive shockwave that knocks everyone on the wrong side of the spell to their feet.

After the dust settled, the whole town looks at Ryan with fear. He ignores their stares.

“I’m finishing this fight!” Ryan yells while walking toward the enemy forces that stood still in fear.

An enemy solder then shouts: “Shit They've got a Blackfire Mage! How Are we supposed to deal with one of these things?” He yells in his Palmlandian tongue.

As Ryan approaches them more than a handful of them back up.

“I Got an idea” one of his hunter allies says.

With Alex walking by his side the Ballsey hunter decides to shoot Ryan in the arm. Ryan falls to the ground in pain and that very same healer that saved him instantly heals him. Ryan gets up off the ground and looks over at that hunter with extreme hatred. Suddenly another hunter shoots over at him and he moves out of the way quickly. The arrow manages to miss him but hits his healer right below one of her breasts. She falls to the ground screaming and Ryan takes a hard long look at the hunter that just fired that shot who still held his crossbow upright in his hands. Ryan then in anger summons his phone to his hand and puts on the song “Raising Hell” By Bullet For My Valentine. He activates the buff of the song that gave him 90% more Spell Area Of Effect damage and starts making his way toward them.

With the earth shacking again with the deafening volume, the soldiers stand still in fear and confusion of what’s going on again. Ryan looks over at the hunter who shot his healer and locks on to them.

He then sacrifices 50% of his health and puts it into another [Chaos Blast] spell. As the enemy front line sees him casting this spell, everyone panics and starts running away in fear from him.

Ryan charges this his huge spell up into a massive fireball above his head and launches the spell at the hunter who just shot his healer. When the spell flies past his predetermined mark, Ryan detonates the spell and another terrorizing blast is unleashed. The blast knocks out one third of their forces and sends the enemy fleeing toward the hills.

Ryan who gets knocked onto his feet from his own blast then gets up and starts pursuing them with an amused expression on his face. Alex who was knocked down from the shockwave of the blast, sees the healer who was shot beside her and notices she was still alive. She places her hands over her chest and casts [Amber Light] on her.

Ryan meanwhile starts raining down [Black Rain] on one company of fleeing soldiers and then casts [Drain Health] on a man that was scorched by his spell.

Ryan regains his health back at 62% by sucking all the life out of this man and keeps running after them. He sacrifices another 30% of his health and builds up another fully charged [Chaos Blast] and lobs it over into a heavy crowd of fleeing solders. The Blast takes everyone out caught in the blast radius and Knocks everyone else off their feet. The terrified fleeing forces who get up off the ground decide to drop their weapons, shields, and staffs just to run away faster from this lunatic coming after them.

Ryan sees Alex who just caught up to him and shoots her a mad smile.

“Heal me! Now!” He demands Her.

Alex does as he requests, and she casts [Amber Light] on him twice.

To her surprise he then takes off after them again. Hunters who still held onto their weapons look back and see him still pursuing and they attempt to fire back at him in defense. Ryan avoids 5 hastily aimed Arrows and sacrifices 20% more health for another [Chaos Blast]. He fully charges the spell up and launches it into the valley ahead. A defensive Palmlandian healer see’s this spell coming their way and activates his emergency “Bubble” over a handful of allies. The spell detonates overhead on demand and takes out 60 more soldiers and pops that man’s shield like a balloon on a cactus. Ryan sends the people looking over their shoulder a demented smile and takes off running after them again and gets ready to cast that spell again. Ryan looks at his health bar on his phone and realizes he doesn’t have enough health left to kick their ass again. He then taps into his mana reserves and starts casting the spell yet again.

Alex then comes from behind him and knocks him to the ground.

“STOP IT! They have had enough. Let them be!” Alex screams at him.

“No! I want to inflict MORE destruction! This shit feels amazing!” he screams at Alex with a mad and crazy tone to his voice while trying to squirm free of her grip.

Alex holds on tighter to him and then notices his arms were leaking blood that reeked of a super strong scent of vinegar. She grabs his stripped long sleeve shirt and rolls up one of his arms. She then spots tar-black colored blood oozing out of his old scars. The wounds were deep and a strange “glow” appeared to be pulsating from these ruptures in his skin.

“No Ryan you’re going to stop this fuckery right now! The town is safe. You kicked their ass. There is no need for any more violence. I can assure you they are NOT going to come back here anytime soon” She yells at him while holding him down to the cold ground.

Suddenly Arcadia comes teleporting in behind them covered in a Blue Robe and rushes over to Ryan.

“Ryan, what are you doing! You’re pushing yourself past the point of corruption!” Arcadia cries out to him.

Alex looks over at her and tilts her head in confusion at where She came from and then looks at the wounds on his arm.

Arcadia grabs Ryan’s arms and starts healing all of his open wounds.

“Dude you are so lucky I was watching that battle unfold from my respawn room. You need to stop abusing that spell. You’re going to end up another statistic of your class if you keep that up” She yells at him while healing his arms up.

Arcadia then casts a spell on him that purifies his soul. A teal-colored dodecahedron encases him and hardens up like a gem. It then shatters like glass into a million pieces and a black mist starts emitting out of his skin and into the air and fades away. This leaves Ryan motionless on the ground.

Ryan’s Mad state of mind fades from him and he crawls into a ball and starts convulsing and shaking uncontrollably.

Arcadia turns to Alex and they both watch Ryan slowly recover back to normal. During that time Arcadia quickly conjures 4 Monster energy drinks and hands them to Alex. She then pulls her away from Ryan and talks to her.

“He should be fine for now, but you need to tell him to scale back on using that spell. His ultimate spell comes with a terrible price if he abuses it like he did just now” Arcadia tells her while crossing her arms.

“I love you guys and would love to stick around, but I really need to get going since there is a dungeon 60 miles west of here that has a massive event people are attending that I want to do damage control on.” Arcadia says in a hurry.

“Wait you can’t stay just a little bit longer?” Alex inquired about her intentions.

“No. The selection process starts in like 15 minutes. I want to go undercover as a healer and be included in some fun. I don’t expect to get any followers from doing this, but if anything goes wrong I want to be there to help. It’s like what we talked about last time when you died. I enjoy walking through dungeons and randomly reviving wiped out parties who were lucky to die with purgatory on them. I like reviving those poor souls and saving them from having to take a vanity portal from Bunnell’s or Yulee’s respawn room. It’s something fun to do and I get free faction points for every person I revive” Arcadia replies while opening up a portal.

“Let me get going but do make sure Ryan chills out with that spell” Arcadia says while walking through the portal.

“Will do” Alex says while placing the monsters that were in her arms on the ground.

Ryan who was moaning in pain from a bad headache then gets up to his feet.

Meanwhile from afar on top of a mountain top that Dark haired woman from earlier was holding her spyglass and watching Ryan and Alex from afar atop a mountain not too far from the city.

Mriya saw this whole battle unfold and was as a little angry. She collapses her Spyglass and puts it on her side. She snaps her fingers rapidly at her teleportation mages and flicks her wrist. The mages walk over to her and look her into the eyes. As her dark hair fluttered in the wind She turns her back on this city and her mages Teleport her away.

Alex who had her arms crossed looked at Ryan and smiled. “Withdraw sucks doesn’t it?” Alex said sarcastically as Ryan stood there twitching a little bit.

“I didn’t even know this could happen to me. It felt amazing casting that spell over and over. I didn’t know it would drive me mad” Ryan replies to Alex feeling extremely concerned at his actions.

“Well now you know and Knowing is Half the battle” Alex replied with a quirky G.I Joe tone.

Ryan smiles at her and shakes his head at her. “You’re so quirky Alex. I like that about you” Ryan says.

Alex sends him an enlightened smile and looks around the battlefield at the huge scorched and still steaming blackspots that were left in the wake from Ryan’s rampage.

“Continuing our conversation of memes from earlier, I bet the enemy soldiers were like: “How much damage can this one emo kid cause?” Then your like “YES!” Alex says while laughing heavily.

Ryan joins her in laughing and sees Danylko; the man who looked like Dennis Stoff coming over to them with half of the town’s defenders behind him.

Ryan and Alex notice them coming their way and decide to get stop laughing at Alex’s joke and get serious.

“The town of Edough wants to thank you two for your assistance in that fight. We are very grateful for you all contributing your time and effort into that battle. Do you all need anything? We can make it happen” Danylko asks them.

“Yes, we do in fact. We need transportation Equipment. Do you have a spare flatbed trailer, something to pull it and some Arcane mages we could use to help lift up and load a Dragons head onto it?” Ryan asked them.

Danylko snaps his fingers and sends a 2 people back into town.

“We will have that stuff available for you all shortly. We really do appreciate your help. I will see to it I will right to your nation’s leaders. What are your names and countries do you all represent?” Danylko asks.

“My name is Ryan Glasser and I Represent Tourterra.” Ryan says.

“My name is Alex Hart and I Represent Faterra” Alex replies.

“Good. I will see to it our Mayor writes a letter to your leaders” He says while writing down their names in a book.

A man with a Gatorboar and a short 22-foot-long flatbed trailer then show up.

“Here is your wagon. If I may ask What dragon head are you transporting by the way” Danylko asked out of curiosity”

“Kyoto’s” Alex says while reaching back behind her and sheathing her sword.

Everyone gasps in shock and starts whispering among themselves and start smiling.

“So you all fought along beside us, and you brought down the terror that has been stealing our livestock from our farmers. You two are truly our saviors” Danylko said with a proud tone.

“Look we only need the head of the beast, if you want to bring some of your skinners, Alchemists and Butchers along with us they can collect and keep the leather and meat materials from the dead beast. We don’t need it” Ryan tells him.

Several men in the background start talking loudly when they heard that.

“We will be delighted to use those resources from that dragon, but we can’t start collection of those resources right now. We need to start burying our dead. I can offer you a Few Arcane mages to provide lifting services for you but that’s all we can give right now” Danylko says.

“Oh okay. Thank you. I’m glad you’re not letting those resources go to waste” Ryan says to him while hoping on the trailer.

“We surely will use those resources from the beast. Thank you for offering them to us. But let us get to work burying our dead. We greatly thank you both for helping us. You are all welcome back here anytime you want” Danylko says while waving at them.

Eight Arcane mages hop aboard the back of the trailer and Ryan turns the beasts back toward the valley where they came from.

“Thank you all for this equipment. I hope the best for your families and wish you all a Strength for the future hardships that lie ahead” Alex says while they ride away.

“We wish the best of luck to you all as well” Danylko says as he turns away from them and guides the soldiers back to town.

Alex and Ryan then began their trek back toward that dead dragon. They have to take a detour around the avalanche areas of the valley they originally bypassed and slowly wind up and down a different mountain that had a bypass trail for their equipment. With Ryan feeling weak and nauseous from the aftereffects of that spell almost killing him, it takes them over 3 hours to Arrive at Kyoto’s dead body. They could have gotten there quicker if Ryan didn’t have to pull over and throw up every 10 minutes. Alex got tired of the stop and go non-sense and even elected to drive it herself while he recovers in the back.

Ryan who was a little uneasy with letting Alex drive, quickly learns she has experience doing this. He strikes up a conversation with her to take his mind off this annoying corruption induced “Car Sickness” and learns that Alex acquired this training from moving equipment for the Faterrian military.

Upon arriving at the location of the dragon, the mages Awe in disbelief and then band together to help lift the head of the beast onto the flatbed trailer and then help Ryan and Alex with strapping the head down securely. Ryan by this time who was feeling much better in general.

When they were finished with the securement of the dragon’s head, the mages memorize the location of the dragon and write it down. They then wave goodbye to them and teleport back to town and help get to work with digging graves.

Alex and Ryan then they start riding East into the sunset drinking their Monsters Arcadia gave them earlier while listening to the song “I Won’t Give In” By Asking Alexandria on a very mild Volume.
