The mont Arad saw the white dot erging, every cell in his body scread to run. To make a dragon feel fear, who was the one that challenged him?
[HO-WHITE NOVA]
FLAP! Arad expanded his wings, [Void Expansion] He flew around the orb, expanding his void to cover the whole place, devouring all the flas. That thing was small, as tiny as a spec of sand. But the power surging in it was more than anything he had ever seen.
The void rushed from around Arad and covered the orb, trying to digest it, but that seed impossible. The more he ate, the more ca out of it.
^No, wait! If I failed, she would die...^ He looked at the chained flas. He opened his jaw, swallowing the orb and canceling his expansion.
ZON! He imdiately teleported out into Alina's sky.
rlin was sitting with Zephyr, talking about magic when they suddenly felt it. Blood gushed out of rlin's nose as her eyes were bloodshot.
Zephyr froze in place, staring at the sky, "The hell is that?"
"This magic, it's over ninth-tier spells. How?" rlin looked up. She was spreading her magic across the city to control the heater, and when she ca into contact with Arad and the orb, she got jolted.
"I don't know! It's more magic than what I have." Zephyr flew out, seeing Arad above the city, looking around with a panicked look on his face.
"Arad! What's happening?" She scread.
FLAP! BAM! Arad flapped his wings, blasting away as fast as he could, teleporting forward every ti he could.
CLACK! Zephyr heard sothing down, and when she looked through rlin's window, she smiled, "Wait? The spell worked, then why?" She flew back in.
CLAP! Arad flew over the lands, each flap of his wings sending a shockwave that reached the ground.
^[Faster! To keep going forward. This thing is about to explode.]^ Doma shouted in his head.
[ARAD! Drop it. This isn't worth the risk.] Mom scread.
^No! I'm not missing this chance. I'm dropping this on his head.^
[You're an idiot!]
In Alina, Cain laughed his guts off. "Only dragons think like this! Go, stick it up his ass!" He shouted, then started laughing. "Jemima, water."
As Arad flew across the lands, the grass slowly seed to fade as it shifted into a dead wasteland without a single leaf in sight.
^[We're almost there! But we don't have that much ti,]^ Doma shouted, and Arad could see it in the distance, a massive grim castle in the middle of a large ruined city. Leagues of vampires walked around, forming an endless army.
The vampires looked at the horizon, seeing Arad flying toward them at a horrifying speed, his roar shaking the clouds. "The hell is that? A stray dragon?"
"No! Those black scales and wings! It's that dragon the lord talked about!" One shouted, jumping into the sky and expanding his wings. "He ca to us on his own. Prepare to take him down!"
Vlad was sitting at the dinner table when he felt sothing off. He put the blood glass down and looked at the window. "This overflowing magic, what in the hell?"
FLAP! Arad flew over the soldier and stopped right before the castle. He doesn't have any ti left.
"Kill him!" The general of the vampire shouted.
Arad opened his jaw, flapping his wings in the middle of the air, looking down at the ground.
A stream of fire gushed down his throat, blasting the ruined city into a sea of flas.
The vampires growled, the weakest of them getting charred into ash while the rest protected their faces. "A fire breath, so he has a red linage, an overly black purple dragon."
The stream of fire coming out of Arad's throat turned into a transparent gas filled with purple shards of plasma. And the vampires got certain, "He's a purple dragon. Use ice magic!" One shouted.
Vlad looked out of the window, protecting his face from the heat, "Sothing is off. Why does he have the courage to attack my castle alone?"
The gust of gas coming from Arad's throat shifted into a pure stream of plasma as he emptied the contents of his stomach that was heated into oblivion by the orb.
A hole started being dug in the city as the plasma gushing out of Arad's mouth exploded, keeping all the vampires at bay.
"Wait for him to stop spewing plasma then attack as he recovers," The vampire general shouted, "His head is ours! Will offer it to our lord!"
Vlad blinked, "Oh! Fuck!" He just felt it coming.
In a mont of silence, Arad's plasma breath stopped, and a single dot of light dropped out of his jaw, heading toward the ground.
ZON! Arad teleported upward imdiately, not waiting a fraction of a second to see what happens.
The dot dropped, its blinding light illuminating the whole city and castle as their shadows danced across the land.
DING! It touched the ground, and in the blink of an eye, a blast akin to a blazing white sun consud the whole city, covering several kiloters around. Arad erged from his teleportation. But he didn't get out of range in ti, losing his legs and tail.
^Barely made it.^ He gasped, flapping his wings as he ran away from the expanding fireball, getting his wings and torso burned like a man sleeping on a blazing forge.

"Armin," A man called, "Bring the sheep this way!"
"Coming!" The child replied to his father, waving his cane to hush the herd uphill.
He then noticed his shadow extending rapidly as the ground washed with red light.
He turned around alongside his father, seeing a massive fire mushroom rising on the horizon beneath the dusk.
Alongside the first star of the night, they saw a fireball rush toward them, engulfed in cinder and smoke.
BAM! The massive being crashed at the hillside, sending a blast that sent the poor farr and his child flying away.
"The hell was that?" The father cried.
"Dad! That was the forbidden land, wasn't it?" The kid cried.
The father looked around. ^The vampires live in that direction. What's happening?^ He turned toward where the fireball crashed, thinking it was a chunk of debris.
The man froze as his knees started shaking. That was a dragon. Arad opened his eyes, his vision blurry. GRRRRRRRRRRR! A growl escaped his throat as he lifted his head. His hind legs, wings, tail, and hips were too damaged to lift him up. The best he could do was sit up.
"Dad! It's a dragon! I never saw one," The kid scread, and the farr slapped his hand on his mouth, "SHHH! Don't make a noise. A dragon's attention is the last thing we want."
"HMMM!" The kid grunted, his lips burning.
The father whispered, "Listen, we're ants. We don't talk back to those bigger than us."
Arad turned toward them, "Humans? Fear not. I'm not here to harm you."
The father didn't dare reply, only looking back, prying the dragon wouldn't pounce on them.
Armin pushed his father's hand away, "Dragon! What happened there? You ca from it, didn't you?" He pointed at the smoke mushroom in the distance.
"I had so personal problems with the vampire lord over there, so I dropped him a hot gift," Arad replied with a grin on his face.
"VAMPIRES?!" The Kid cried with sparkling eyes.
"That's Vlad's kingdom of vampires?" The father gasped.
"I was lucky. I didn't know if Vlad was there or not as I simply tracked the biggest mass of vampirism curse. But, he was." Arad said with a proud grin. "He ate a whole human city that was behind my protection. So I blew his whole kingdom off."
His body had already regenerated, so he stood.
"Dragon! Wait!" Armin rushed toward him, "Was that your breath that blew it up?"
Arad thought about it for a mont, "Yes, it was my breath."
He extended his wings, "I'll be leaving," He looked at the kid, "And listen to your father. Most of the dragons would just kill and eat you." He flew into the distance, leaving the two watching.
The father looked back at the mushroom cloud and the first star of the night. "Venus, the dragon of destruction."
The people local area were frequently preyed upon by the vampires. To them, the dragon who appeared out of nowhere and blew them to dust was nothing less than a saving deity. They gave him the na of the star he ca from and kept that held in for the coming generations.
Arad flew back to Alina, teleporting directly into rlin's lab the mont he got within range.
"ARAD!" Zephyr flew at him, "What happened? What was that?" She cried.
"Don't worry," He replied, "What's happened to Amber?"
"Amber is fine. The important thing is what was that?"
"Amber was supposed to serve the fire goddess. She didn't like taking her away, so she tried to give a divine punishnt and sent a spell she called HO-white Nova. I was to take Amber if I survived that." Arad smiled, putting his arms on his hips, "The spell didn't explode for a whole minute, so I searched for the vampirism curse with Doma's help and dropped the thing on Vlad's castle."
CLICK! rlin opened the door and walked in, "Is what I heard right? You dropped what on Vlad?"
"A HO-white Nova." He replied.
"It was stated in texts as one of the divine abilities of the fire goddess. One of her weakest spells, Holy origin white nova." rlin looked at him, "To be honest, you would've been fine if you teleported out of the domain with Amber. That's a powerful blast, but it can't travel dinsion."
"What?" He looked at her.
"I'll explain later. Want to see Amber? She's asleep in the other room." She pointed with her thumb.
