Rudra ran with all his might , although he was a tier one player , his stats rivalled a normal tier 2 players , he was incredibly agile .
Even so , the dragon was slowly but surely closing in on him , and Rudra kept twisting and turning and changing lanes , to keep him distracted.
Then Rudra heard it , the inahling of air , it signalled that the dragon was preparing for the fireblast. Rudra counted to three in his mind , and then instantly used blink to teleport two streets to the right and boy did that decision save his life!
A wicked fireblast covered the place where was initially at , the entire street being melted down , Rudra could feel the heat of the attack even from two streets away.
Rudra had goosebumps at that moment , he understood that the margin for error here was non existent , it was either make it or break it. There was no way that he got caught in the fireblast and still made it out Alive.
Taking some turns , Rudra bolted towards the inner district , Rudra needed 5 more minutes to reach the walls of inner district. While he was running however , his eyes flashed for a second with a guild member whom he was all to familiar with , Sir Jhonny who gave him a small nod.....
From the moment that the giant dragon appeared in the sky , Jhonny had been trying to move as far away from it as possible. He was initially at the exact location of its first fireblast , near the eternal rebels camp.
From there he ran and ran , however wherever he went , fireballs followed , in the last fireball attack from the dragon , he felt humiliated that a small piece of clothing on his bum caught fire. And he had to run around town with his @** on fire , he decided then and there , that enough was enough , he would no longer take this humiliation.
Turning around , he made up his mind that he would no longer run from the dragon , but face it , he started to move towards the dragon. Mid-way he was shocked to see the guild leader running away from the dragon. Jhonny felt nostalgic , the kid was facing the same troubles he did , hence he gave him a nod , the nod said ' Don't worry , I'll handle the big lizard '.
The dragon was closing in , it was only interested in chasing Rudra , hence it was bound to follow his trail.
However , the dragon was unexpectedly met with a shout From another man....
Jhonny shouted " Listen up you big stinky Lizard , In the ancient country of China , there were 0 lizards left , because the moment they saw one , they would grill it and eat it! , Just imagine , if you actually appeared there instead of Purplehaze , currently an entire city would be hunting for your meat , hahahahaha ".
The mutated dragon was a dragon , nonetheless it had immense pride in itself , when the insult landed it's ears , it was clearly angered ....
Jhonny continued " come , use that nasty fire attack of yours , others may be fooled by it as a genuine attack , but I know for a fact that it is just stomach acidity , you have not digested your meal and now are burping fire , hahahaha what an uncultured beast ".
The dragon was enraged now , it started the big inhale , but seemingly waiting for this moment , SMG appeared out of nowhere , and used a stinky mist potion , and threw it at the dragons face.
The stinky mist exploded in its face , and the extremely unpleasant odour caused it to cough.
COUGH , COUGH COUGH , the entire ground tremored violently at its every cough.
SMG appeared beside Jhonny and said " You did a good job of distracting it sir ".
Jhonny replied " Ofcourse kid who do u think I am ? ".
SMG smiled , and said " Let's go sir , he would recover soon ! ".
Jhonny shook his head and said " You go kid , I got to see this through to the end ".
Saying soo , Jhonny tried to look cool as he walked towards the dragon with the sword in hand , SMG sensing the situation quickly bolted .
The moment Jhonny actually looked towards the dragon though , he was paralyzed in fear.
:- You have been paralyzed in fear for 10seconds.
The dragon breathed an enormous fireball , that destroyed not only Jhonny's body , but even the ashes were not left after the attack.
SMG who saw this was like " ????????? ".
Jhonny was dead , however the fact of the matter was that he bought Rudra valuable time , Rudra was almost at the inner city wall now , and with the distance between him and the dragon , it was safe to say that he would make it.
While SMG found Jhonny's death to be pointless , and it pretty much was , a certain onlooking spy misunderstood his death as a noble sacrifice for the guild.
He believed that sir Jhonny took the attack soo that the dragon would not go after other members of the guild and that the guild leader would have enough time to escape. He sacrificed himself for buying the guild a few seconds of time.
His heart moved , and he swore that the sacrifice of sir Jhonny would not be left unnoticed , he would tell everyone of his brave deed!
The dragon , after taking care of the pesky human , focused back on the human who had ran away with the token , it was pretty much frustrated at this point , the human in possession of the token kept running away .
Since the distance between himself and the human was more than 3 KM now , it decided that chasing on foot was not going to cut it out anymore , hence it flapped its giant wings and took a huge jump to cover the distance in one fell swoop.
It felt like a hurricane had hit district five , as when the dragon flapped its wings , the generated wind speed sent beasts and humans flying. The dragon with its massive frame took a jump , and the moment it landed inside inner city , it caused the earth to tremor under its weight.
It landed in a good spot just 20 meters away from Rudra , Rudra seemed cornered , as he was not running away anymore , the dragon felt like it did it , it caught the human!
Inhaling lots of air , it was preparing for its fireblast to kill the puny human , when a thunderous voice boomed!
The voice was of Emperor Aman , who said " Know your place Livestock ! ".
