The next few hours were bad for the Eternal rebels , at the 36th hour mark , the Elites had shortened the gap to under 100K merit points , meaning the only thing that the rebels had over them now , was that token . 

The guild members had worked hard in the last half day , the collective sentiment of the group is what had pushed them to get to this point where they came back from a very disadvantageous position upto here. 

Now they had to mentain this position and trust that their guild leader would somehow get his hands on the 100,000 point token. 

All eyes were on Rudra now , even Edge figured out soo much , that the moment where he lost the 100,000 token , would be the moment he would loose the management rights to the city. 

He did not expect that his move to send out troops to cause trouble for the Elites and Frozen thorns would backfire on him. However thinking quick on his feet he recalled more and more troops towards the base in district 5 .

He calculated that he only needed to somehow mentain the current rate and keep the 100,000 point merit token somehow safe , and victory was assured. The Elites were indeed gaining about 5000 merit points on them each hour , they had about 95000 point lead , normally without the token at this rate it would take the Elites about 19 hours to fill the gap. But the event ended in 12 hours , hence the best strategy was to now to keep the posession of the token as the highest priority. 

What he thought was not illogical , it was very much the best way. Retrieving troops and reinforcing his current location into a swarm of players seemed like a good idea to keep the token safe. As the beasts would keep flooding towards their direction for the token , merits could still be farmed . 

However in reality it would turn out to be their death knell! As just a few minutes past the 36 hour mark , a deafening Roar was heard throughout the city. 

:- you have been affected by Dragon's intimidation all stats reduced by 70% 

:- you have been paralyzed in fear , movement unavailable for 5 seconds 

A Massive Beast could be seen in the sky. It's individual wings were as big as 747 Jets , as massive as a football stadium in air. With scales as red as blood , and spikes on its back. It looked ferocious! , However , Instead of the calm , intelligent eyes of a true dragon , it had the eyes of a bloodlusty beast. A mutant! 

( Mutated Fire Dragon ' Estador ' ) ( Power level :Tier four Lv 180) ( HP: 10,000,000/10,000,000)( Threat level : Calamity Class ) : A fire dragon , that mutated at a young age , it has gained infamy as the ruthless beast that burns everything to ashes. If you encounter it , just pray and run , do not engage ! 

A named monster! , A mutated dragon ! A tier four creature! 

It just made u feel inferior when u looked at its massive frame , humans were to dragons what ants were to humans , the small insignificant beings that did not even need effort to be trampeld on. 

The sheer presence of the dragon reduced the stats of normal tier one adventurers by 70% , while even looking at it could paralyze you in fear. 

Noone under tier 3 could hope to engage a dragon. While only beings in the tier 4 could actually have a chance while fighting against it. 

Even then it would take about four or five such people giving their 100% in the fight to take such a beast down! 

Edge had a bad feeling in his chest , from the moment he saw the Dragon ! If the dragon was also here for the token , then he was screwed. 

He wanted to move ! He wanted to run away , but the moment he glanced at the dragon , who was looking towards him , he accidentally looked into his eyes. 

:- You have been paralyzed by Dragon's fear , movement disabled for 20s . 

He was paralyzed in fear, he could feel the Dragon closing in..... The Eternal Rebels guild members started to scream when they realized that the dragon was headed straight towards them. 

Some struggled to run away with 70% stat reduction , while some chose to fight. However the pitiful tier one spells and arrows could not even scratch the dragon. While some did a pitiful damage of -1 

Then it happened ..... The dragon inhaled air , and spewed out a massive fire through his mouth .... a powerfull fireblast by a tier four fire dragon , wiped out the entire 120,000 members of the Eternal rebels guild gathered in one location , in one single move! 

The once wide eight way crossroad , after the aftermath of that attack now looked as if lava had just flown through the streets. 

With charred ground everywhere and ashes of the once alive players! It seemed as if the chapter of the Eternal rebels guild was sealed and done for , with only some pitiful 30-40 K members still alive in however the Dragon Roared in frustration . 

It seemed as if the man with the token , was somehow alive , and now running away! 

Edge , with his half burnt body , and a critically red HP bar was now running for his life , clutching onto the 100,000 point token! 

Even burnt he was not deterred , he beleived in himself , he would somehow see this through. 

However unbeknownst to him , the predator had now became the prey , just as how he had eyed Rudra before , now it was Rudra's turn , not only was the dragon on his tail , but even Rudra was only waiting for a chance to take back the stolen token!
