*ping*
The tentacle got unusually brighter and shot out a white beam. It was a concentrated natrow beam of light, at a glance. But it's lethality was exposed as Lee was wounded by it!
Lee, who saw the tentacle charging up and shooting out the light beam, did not sense any hostility from it. As he observed and analysed its target to be his neck, Lee slid his right leg sideways and moved out of its linear path. Though it missed his neck, his shoulder was not safe from its attack!
*hiss*
A hissing sound was produced as it brushed past Lee's shoulder. The tee and his shoulder were pierced. Lee hissed and cursed himself for underestimating it's concentration. The pain in his stomach was completely overshadowed by his sting on his shoulder. As Lee inspected, he found the wound cauterized!
Glancing forward, the tentacle can be seen charging up for the next attack. Lee decided to put an end to the act. He clenched his fist in the darkness, but his knuckles conveyed his wish to fight. Without wasting a moment, Lee dashed towards the troll.
*ping*
The second incoming resounded and Lee jumped up into the air. Like he expected, the light beam followed his path for a few seconds. But, the tentacle went passive and defensive once it lost its charge. Lee deduced that this will be it's method of baiting.
*ping*

Lee went around the troll, who did not give an opportunity for Lee to close in. It randomly altered the light beam's firing frequency. Lee was perplexed by this irritating pattern. The troll can clearly tell that a single touch of Lee can be obliterating.
'View.'
The second time View was used, Lee saw a slight increase in all the stats, except Health. He peeked at the troll through the corner of his eyes, as he evaded the narrow white death rays!
Strategically closing in at a rate of five centimetres per evading, Lee kept on moving. The troll recognised his plan, and decided to go melee. It took a step forward and its left arm came like a bullet train!
*Whoosh*
Avoiding it was easy, but Lee never expected another attack behind it. The white bean brushed his cheek, causing an ugly burn mark to appear. As the next attack came aiming at Lee's chest, he used his left palm to deviate it from its path as soon as it reached in front of him. The fist missed the target and Lee went inside the range of the troll's arm length.
*PING*
An intense ray flashed at Lee, but it too missed the target. Lee crouched and moved forward, and his palm got in contact with the trolls stomach.
*Whooom*
The EsGen gobbled the being andbthe Tubian possessing it. The resultant sound made Lee worry and he glanced around. The trolls, upon disappearance of their leader, began to disperse and scatter in many directions. Though able to see at night, those beings acted as if they are partially blinded. Lee was vigilant as he skimmed his eyes over them. At the most unexpected moment, D came out shouting-
[Run!]
Like an interface powering up after an short break, the Map came up before him with a blue path on it. At one end of the path was Lee, and the other end extended straight to south. Without any further instructions, Lee took off towards in the southern direction. He did not forget to borrow a few trolls running around wild, into his storage.
--------------------------------------
Intellus continent. Forbidden zone.
Vahanka mountains, the place of Tubian gathering.
A colossal dragon skeleton can be seen lying on the flat ground. The inner frame of the draconic remains had an aura of death running inside it. A mountain range of 28 kilometres radius, surrounded the skeleton and hindered any sight of it from outside. A woman, A humanoid snake and a winged siren stood on a mountain peak and stared at the skeleton. Fireflies in immense quantities flew in this space and illuminated the area like a day.
*Blip*
As they witnessed, a blip originated from the skeleton and it's cracked and crumbled bones began to rise up and join. The bones regained its sturdiness and colour, while the skeleton was restored. The aura of death had vanished from its body and massive chunks of flesh began to appear on the skeleton along with muscles and blood vessels.
"What was the revelation, Kunjaa?"
Golden scales began appear on the raw flesh, as it slowly raised its huge body on its legs. It's extra long tail moved around as it rotated its head towards the three spectators.
"Yava released me in mercy. It has a message for all of us. A powerful variable has appeared. That stupid rogue brat has encountered it and have mysteriously disappeared. Not dead, but in a suspended state. Proceed to determine whether it is hostile or friendly."
As it finished speaking, the reconstruction process was complete. A large and wildy, but symmetrically twisted horns protruded from its head. It had no eyes and nose. It's pointy snout exposed its razor sharp army arranged inside it's jaws, when it spoke. A pair of wings formed from the crumbled wing bones. Stretching the wing high into the sky, it completely raised its body off the ground, on its limbs.
"I have to see Wikyan Dragon as soon as possible. There is a much important problem at hand!"
The three nodded their heads and turned around. Their figures flashed like lightning and disappeared into the horizon. Bu saw this and spread its wings high and wide. Its present stature exceeds the mountain peaks that span over 12 kilometres!
'I am starting to doubt the bloody serendipity of this plane! Well..let it come.'
A single flap and its body slowly levitated over the ground. As soon as it separated from ground, its body began to fade away as smoke. This smoke condensed and rose up to the sky. Under the disguise of the clouds in the dark sky, it moved gracefully, towards where Wikyan slept peacefully.
