《Reborn as a DRAGON》Chapter 87: The witness
Advertisement
My water magic was surprisingly weak against the vines cage that bound me tightly. I could hear the humans yell out in excitement, as the guards raised their weapons triumphantly in the air. My gaze moved to the mages who all had serious expressions on their faces as they struggled to retain their control over the cage.
It was only a matter of time before I broke free, and they must have felt It since one of them yelled out. "Hurry up and get him! We can't hold him for much longer!" He sounded desperate as beads of sweat trickled down his forehead.
His shout seemed to bring the guards back to their senses as they all rushed towards me from all sides like a flood, each group led by a commander with a strong aura. 'They underestimate me too much,' I inwardly mumbled with a chuckle. An Ice dome suddenly rose from the ground protecting me inside of It as blocking their attacks.
The guards were pushed back by a barrage of sharp Ice arrows from all sides. A couple of their commanders managed to block my magical attacks using their swords and shields that were coated with that strange power, as they steadily approached my Ice wall.
I paid them no heed as I battled against the vines that bind me. My muscles bulged, as a deep low growl escaped my mouth. Their magic was surprisingly resilient, I could feel the mages feeding the vines more mana to keep me trapped, yet It was not enough.
With a roar, their magic suddenly exploded as I broke free. My Ice wall quickly turned into a water slash type of attack that I sent in all directions further pushing the guards back and taking care of a few unlucky ones. The area around me was immediately flattened as all buildings turned into rubble.

Just then, a group of mages flew to my side holding glowing magical stones in their hands as they used them to channel the mana. "Annoying," I growled, faced with giant sharp earth spikes that sprung from the ground.
"How pointless," I shook my head as I allowed the attack to land. The spikes broke the second they came in touch with my scales leaving not a scratch behind. 'This is nothing when compared to Ynos's magic attacks,' I thought with a wide grin as I recalled his stubborn Golden figure.
---
I knew that the smart thing to do would be for me to go back home to the Rimor Kingdom, I already caught a glimpse of a dragon's divine figure back when he destroyed Andila. I already realized back then that this was the end for the Piya kingdom.
Even though I understood how dangerous It would be, I simply could not go back, at least not now! This was a once-in-a-lifetime chance! What if I miss It and never see that beautiful blue figure again? I already lost him once he left Andila, and was too late for his battle in Nord.
But not this time, I was aware he would eventually come for the capital. And so I waited, I didn't settle down Inside the city, but instead set camp in the surrounding mountains. There I patiently waited, when he suddenly appeared.
He truly was everything I imagined them to be, so strong, so dignified, and so beautiful. I thought I understood the depths of a Dragon's strength from his previous battle back in Andila, but I was wrong...I was completely wrong.
That dark bluish pillar that broke through the sky, almost as It splitting it in half completely obliterating the city's shield. Seeing that attack, that was when I realized how naive I had been. From the beginning, he was merely playing with them, that blue dragon wasn't even serious.

A shiver ran down my spine, as my skin tingled in awe. That aura was one I had never felt before, that mana, was truly one that could only belong to a being such as he. "Ahh, yes, this is It! This is the power that stands beyond the mortal realm," I raised my hands high as I watched the Dragon rampage across the city.
The small army of knights that tried to attack him simply dropped dead before they even got close. "Oh! What was that? He didn't use that attack before, I got to write that down!" I mumbled as I settled my bag down on the ground and rummaged through It before I grabbed ahold of my notebook.
'I can't believe I get to see all of this unfold before my eyes!'
I was truly too excited as I constantly took notes from the fights unfolding before me. We, humans, know almost nothing about the dragons besides the tales of legends, this was a chance for us to learn!
The fight seemed to have reached its peak when the mages suddenly made their move. A frown made its way unto my face as they unleashed a high-tier large bind spell, summoning a large cage that sent the dragon crashing down to the ground below.
My hand momentarily stopped writing as my frown deepened. 'The blue dragon's element seems to be water, and if we go by what we know, water is weak against the earth elements. Interesting, so this applies to the dragons as well?' I noted.
It was then that the blue dragon summoned a giant Ice dome protecting him from the knights that tried to take advantage of the situation. "How fascinating! Even when he Is bound, he still has the power to control the mana freely! It's almost like he needs no concentration whatsoever to wield It,"
It did not take him long before he easily broke through the high-tier spell, that was when I knew that Piya was already doomed. I shook my head as a few mages tried to launch a sneak attack at his side using earth spikes, yet that didn't leave as much of a scratch on his scales.
Under my expectant gaze, the blue dragon seemed to disappear from his place, he moved with such a speed unbefitting his large body, and swiftly appeared before the mages who failed their attacks. They had no chance to scream, dodge, or do anything before they were swallowed whole.
This scene seemed to cause the knights and the remaining mages to momentarily hesitate, and I didn't blame them. The enemy was not a being we as humans could defeat, from the start, this battle, no, this country was already doomed when they offended a dragon.
"The only thing I can do Is to stand witness, as the impenetrable Piya Kingdom falls."

God complex
A hero is summoned to another world, vanquishes evil, yadda yadda, saves the kingdom and lives happily ever after. There is no such hero in this story. Just a desperate youth with great ambition and very little to lose. A zero to hero style story set in a country clearly inspired by modern USA with just as many issues and the minority of mages often pulling strings from the shadows. I am also hoping the whole thing won't turn out edgy enough to cut me. I want to rely on actual good writing rather than cheap powertrip gimmicks. edit: Please don't mind Zetari's salty review. He is quite literally making up any use of the torture and human experimentation trope and says MC is blank after 4 chapters where he conveniently stops reading just at the start of his first character development. For extra entertainment, I will be uploading chapters two at a time and compose a relevant poem through the chapter names. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
