《The Adventures of the Mask Maker》The Dragons' Invasion: Day 2
Advertisement
Another day has passed.... By this time the blizzard I cast yesterday should have stopped. The grounded Earth Dragons and Dual-type dragons should be waking up from their recuperation. They will be here in no time...thankfully we have prepared enough and finished evacuating all the citizens. I walked out of the city walls and look into the distance. Many black specks could be seen...they must be the Poison Dragons and Plant Dragons. I walked further out towards those specks and began forming a huge fireball. This fireball of mine is fueled with the Flames of Wrath which will cause the fire to burn continuously, without the possibility of being extinguished, until nothing is left.
After an hour or so, the fireball has become bigger than the guild. After that, I condensed the fireball until it becomes the size of a watermelon. At this size and firepower, the condensed fireball is very unstable. One prick and *BOOM!* explosion everywhere. I held the condensed fireball and peered at the incoming danger. They looked to be about close enough. Taking the fireball with me, I hopped into the air using Roaming the Skies and floated in the air. With a sharp flick of my hand, I send the condensed fireball into the clouds.
The fireball traveled up until it reached a peak. Then, it arced and descended towards the middle of the flying dragons. With a slight movement of my fingers, I disrupted the Fire Essence within the fireball. With this small disturbance, the unstable fireball exploded outwards. Pieces of fire rained from the sky onto the flying dragons...essentially what I call the Rain of Fire. As the fire bombarded the unsuspecting dragons, many were quick to dodge the incoming attacks but there were quite a few unlucky ones as well. The fire hits the dragons, causing them to crash to the ground. The burning dragons rolled on the ground trying to put out the fire, but to no avail...they kept burning and burning and burning until nothing was left. Tallying up the amount that had died to the fire, I counted 22 Plant Dragons and 16 Poison Dragons.

The surviving dragons quickly spotted me and charged towards me. The Poison Dragons all started firing Acid Spit, Acid Breath, Poison Breath, etc at me and the Plant Dragons shot vines upon vines towards my direction. With a wave of my hand, I manipulated the poison with the Poison Attacks and extracted the Poison Essence which I then stored in a few jars. Without the Poison Essence, the attacks were harmless. As for vines, I ignited a Fire Wall and stopped all the incoming vine attacks. I rapid-fired a few hundred fireballs at the flying dragons and used the cover of the fire to rush in. As the dragons attempted to dodge the fireballs, I would behead any dragon that were unaware of my presence in their midst. About 9 more Plant Dragons died by the fireballs and 6 more Poison Dragons died from my knife attacks. Quickly, I collected the 6 Poison Dragon corpses for later experiments.
I was too caught up in the bloodshed when I realized too late that there were no more fireballs to cover my presence. Stuck in the middle of the angry dragons, I decided to make a quick retreat. I reached into my bag and brought out my Ghost Mask. Putting it on, I immediately turned invisible and descended to the ground. With my presence gone, the angry dragons searched frantically for any sign of me, but unfortunately they could not find me. Giving up, the continue forward towards the city.
Once I reached the ground, I pulled out a town portal and teleported back to the city.
..........
At night....
..........
Venturing out into the night after a day of battle, I decided to visit the tavern to sell some blood pills and essence drops. It's near midnight but I'm sure there's people resting and replenishing in the tavern. I was halfway to my destination when all of a sudden, a mental transmission sounded in my head. It was from Blackie.

"What is it?" I asked.
"Dragons...hundreds of them flying towards Delta Town!" Blackie replied.
"WHAT?! How?...Are those dragons the Earth Dragons and Dual-type dragons that were grounded by the blizzard from yesterday? Did they change plans?"
"No...these dragons...they're Dual-type dragons for sure...but they're Earth and Plant type."
"A new type?! Oh no...how long are they going to be there? How many are there exactly?"
"It's a little dark...about 200 I think. At they're speed...they'll be there at midnight."
"SHIT! How come we didn't see them coming?"
"They seem to have the Camouflage ability. Low rankers cannot detect them. Even I had trouble if not for my heat-sensing abilities."
"Damn it. No time to lose. I need to tell Shadow."
After closing the mental transmission, I rushed back to Shadow, "SHADOW!! STOP INCREASING YOUR HAREM! THERE'S BIG TROUBLE...AND NO YOUR CONDOM DIDN'T BREAK!"
