Rudra was trying to reach the palace as soon as possible , he did not for how long he had been running , but he kept running at a frenzy , only a few minutes had passed but it seemed like a eternity to him. 

Finally just as he reached the palace walls , he felt the ground tremor below his feet as if an earthquake had arrived. 

Rudra turned to see the feet of the dragon , not soo far away from him. He could hear him inhaling air , preparing for his signature fireblast. 

Rudra was calm , Aman should react , however if he did not , he was ready to blink and transport right on the Dragons head to avoid the blast. But Aman did interrupt as his voice boomed when he realized that his palace was in danger. 

A deep voice reverbated in the air which said " KNOW YOUR PLACE ..... LIVESTOCK! ". 

Aman emerged out of the palace , his once vibrant face full of vitality before he ascended to the throne was now pale and lifeless , he seemed more of a undead than a living at this point as he had the aura of death around him. 

It was at this moment that Rudra noticed a critical detail about Aman .... 

[ Emperor Aman ] ( Lv 200) ( Tier 4 ) : The undisputed ruler of Hazelgroove who took the throne by force , dethroning his father. A practicioner of dark arts and the forbidden class of necromancy , he is someone you cannot offend. 

Aman had reached tier 4 !! , He had progressed since the last time Rudra saw him at tier 3 a few months ago. 

A huge boulder then smashed on the head of the dragon , who reeled from the impact of the attack. It was a spell by the wizard Rahim! He had come to the aid of his leige. 

Aman clicked his tongue and started to chant , after a while he casted the tier 3 spell ' life drain' .

A hideous looking plant bloomed from under the dragon's feet and covered its body. The plant seemed to suck the vitality out of the dragon , as he was loosing hp and strength constantly. 

The dragon struggled to get the plant off itself , however the plant only continued to grow larger , in contrast to the dragon who was loosing life , Aman's complexion seemed to improove as his skin devoid of nutrition started to look more like a healthy human again. 

Aman's body recovered at a visible rate , as seemed to absorb the life of the dragon. Rudra was shocked to see this happen , he had never seen this spell being cast before. 

Aman was unfazed as he smiled and said " It's not half bad that I came out to meet this livestock , it's good for nutrition , Rahim bind the beast ". 

He was enjoying his meal , Rather than killing the dragon , now he hoped to drain it of its life completely. 

Given the order Rahim immediately started to cast binding spells. Vines started to constrict the dragons wings and the ground it was standing on turned into quicksand , sinking its feet inside. .

The dragon seemed to struggle under these conditions , however it seemed to go berserk at this point , instead of the normal fireblast where it would inhale air to spew out fire. The dragon started to mobilize the mana in the air ... Rudra had heard about this move .... The fabled move of the dragon race.... The dragon breath ! 

He had absolutely no intention of being on the recieving end of such a devastating move , but he made the mistake of looking the dragon in the eye , which caused him to be paralyzed in fear for 5 seconds. 

The dragon was looking towards Emperor Aman , who was frowning , however Rudra was closeby as well , if the dragon casted the dragons breath successfully , that would be it for him. 

Rudra started to pray to the gods to save him at this point , as he thought ' That's it folks , I'm dead! '. 

However , at the last possible second before the dragon could complete it's move , a scream could he heard 

' Agghhhhhhhhhh.....' 

SPLASHHH! 

Patricia who was somehow falling from the sky fell right on the Dragons face , impaling her sword into his eye ! 

The dragon screeched in pain , while she cooly bounced off from his head and landed before Rudra. She gave her brother a small wink before taking a knee before Aman as she said " Patricia Won Knight reporting for duty ". 

Aman glanced At her and smiled , as he nodded. 

What followed was a one sided dragon slaughter. Rahim casted spells after spells , while Aman casted spells that Rudra had never seen before , they were probably the skill sets of dark faction players , as more and more nefarious spells inflicted damage on the dragon. 

The once mighty dragon who had over a billion HP , was being mauled when facing the 3 tier 4 humans. Rudra looking at the scene thought , " Well I might as well contribute something ". 

As he used thunderblast to zap the dragon. 

A pitifully low damage of -35 appeared on its body. Rudra sighed , it was pretty much pointless , but still kept attacking from range . 

Rudra kept a close eye on the HP of the dragon , as he was holding his most powerfull move in hopes of getting the last hit. 

After 15 minutes of fighting the dragon's hp hit below 1 million. Rudra became incredibly anxious now , as he waited for the right time to fight back. 

A tier 3 mountain breaker spell by Rahim , sent the million hp of the dragon down to 500,000 

Followed by a move Rudra had never seen before as about 50,000 small needle like swords manifested themselves in the air as they hit they pierced the dragon. 

The dragons HP hit critically low value with only 2000 left. 

Rudra grit his teeth , he might not be able to make it , but with Aman chanting the finishing spell , he knew it was now or never. 

Gambling everything on his most powerfull move , Rudra aimed at the neck of the dragon as he unleashed the full power of the elven sword! 

WORLD SLASH!
