Chapter 4: The Great Battle Begins
After Vexlith's death, Draken felt as if he was strong. He saw his friends lying on the ground, he tried his new healing properties on them, Draken looked at them all:
"Well done, my friends."
Draken healed them all, and when they all woke up, he saw Vexlith's mangled body and said:
"Did you do this, Draken?"
Draken said egoistically:
"Yes, I made sure he got what he deserved. Everyone gets what they deserve."
Dimitri, getting closer to Draken:
"Brother, what happened to you? How could you kill Vexlith when you couldn't even kill a goblin?"
Draken chose not to answer, and Dimitri didn't ask many questions, but he had already noticed Draken's awakening, and Dimitri turned to face the group:
"Yes, we've lost Russel. Let's leave with a trophy in his honour. What do you say?"
Draken, looking at Dimitri:
"FUCK OFF, BITCH. DON'T YOU SEE WHAT WE'RE DOING?! AND YOU'RE DOING IT ON PURPOSE. AT THIS RATE, NONE OF YOU WILL GET OUT OF HERE ALIVE!!!"
Dimitri gave Draken's words to the young man and took a break.
"Well, let's get some rest, guys."
Draken sat in one corner and Dimitri in the other. They were looking at each other from a distance. Lydia approached Draken and said:
"Draken, what happened to you? You weren't like this, and how did you kill Vexlith all by yourself?"
Draken said, looking at Lydia:
"You may not believe what I'm about to tell you, but just as I was about to die, a voice whispered to me, "Wake up." And when I woke up, I felt so strong. I made Vexlith worse than dead. I did it all in a moment of rage and desperation. But...I don't regret anything I did."
Lydia looked at Draken:
"Then that means that you were awakened...."
Draken looked at Lydia, puzzled. But Lydia was telling the truth. He knew it himself. Draken now accepted that he had induced an awakening. Dimitri overheard this conversation and said:
"So, you had an awakening, huh? Well done, son. Good job!"
Draken approached Dimitri, upset:
"Dimitri, I apologise for what I just said."
"You don't need to apologise. You said what you thought was right. There's nothing wrong with that, son."
After Dimitri said that, he said:
"Guys, it's up to you to decide whether to continue or not, if you want to come, come."
The whole group chose to come for the loot. Just as they were about to pass through the new gate, Draken locked the gate on the group.
"Kid, what in God's name are you doing? Open the door."
Draken said in a cold voice:
"I'm sorry, but I can't put you in danger, I'll handle this dungeon myself, please go home and have a good time with your family."
Dimitri could not open the door no matter how hard he tried and the door disappeared.Only Draken had passed through the door.The whole group decided to go back in despair.Dimitri was very upset about this situation.Lydia approached Dimitri:
"Dimitri, as you know, Draken has been awakened, so you don't have to worry about him."
Dimitri hugged Lydia, and together they left the dungeon, albeit sadly.
Draken was now in the new room.As Draken was about to walk out, something like an 'inventory' appeared in front of his eyes.From this inventory, he could get loot in exchange for missions.Draken, with an excited look:
'That's it, I like that.'
Draken took a magic knife from this inventory, it was a better knife than the one he found on the ground.Draken entered the room.The room was almost empty.There was no loot and no enemies.Just as he stepped into the room, an attack came from the sky.It was a large and flaming dragon named 'Ignarok'.This dragon's skin was covered with steel, and this dragon had two heads.Draken looked at Ignarok:
'COME ON, COME TO YOUR FATHER!'
Ignarok angrily threw balls of flame from his mouth towards Draken.Draken dodged two of them, the third hit him.Draken muttered to himself:
'I need to level up a bit more!'
Draken, ignoring his wound, went on the offensive.Ignarok went on the offensive as well.Draken pulled out his knife.He dodged Ignarok's attack and tried to stab Ignarok in the skin, but the knife didn't even penetrate the skin.
'AHH, FUCK. HIS SKIN MUST BE MADE OF STEEL, I NEED TO FOCUS ON THE HEAD!!!'
Draken, faster this time, dodged Ignarok's attacks and jumped upwards.Ignarok tried to catch Draken right in mid-air, but Draken was on his neck as fast as if he had teleported.Just as he was about to climb up, he slipped.Just as he was about to fall, he grabbed onto one of Ignarok's wings.Ignarok couldn't see Draken, so he couldn't attack.Draken regained his balance and jumped again, this time reaching his head.Pulling out the knife:
"THAT'S IT!!! YOU ARE DEFEATED, IGNAROK."
He plunged the blade into both heads.Ignarok collapsed to the ground screaming in pain.Draken also fell to the ground, and passed out from using too much force.After some time he woke up, appearing directly in front of the inventory.
"Ignarok the Great Dragon has been defeated, his level has been increased, you may choose your reward, and if you wish, you may take Ignarok for yourself, if he accepts you."
Draken was astonished:
"What, take him for myself?! But he may not accept it himself, but we must try."
Draken said slowly, moving closer to Ignarok who was lying on the ground:
"Arise."
Ignarok made no sound. Draken decided to try again. He whispered softly:
"Arise."
Again, no sound. The Draken decided to try one last time.
"Arise." He whispered again.
Lights began to emanate from Ignarok, filling the entire room. Draken was astonished:
"FUCK, what is this?"
At that moment the inventory appeared in front of Draken:
"Ignarok has been successfully tamed. He belongs to you."
Draken could not react. The great dragon had tamed Ignarok.
'You can summon Ignarok at any time from the inventory, in the meantime you will be given daily tasks and a training programme.'
'I was planning to start training anyway. That's good.'
Draken was now going to enter the final room.He was both anxious and excited.He liked this new system a bit.Draken stepped into the room.He would leave this room either dead or victorious.Draken took a deep breath:
'LET'S SEE, WHO IS THE LAST WHORE, THE LAST ENEMY?!'
Would Draken leave this room alive? Will he get what he wants? It will all be decided here, at the end of this battle.
